- The common narrative of Chicago is one of violence, homicides and guns. But there's a lot more to Chi-Town than mainstream media would lead us to believe.

Very interesting and informative set of videos.
such an important series, thank you
Good! Keep it up!
Very Interesting.
Rockford, Illinois is only an hour and a half away from Chicago and we are having the exact same issues for the same exact reason. REDLINING. Since when is the the value of a human life contingent upon the neighborhood they die in...
These people live in a dream world
Delete the drug war, and murders in Chicago fall by about a third in under a year. Also, cops have fewer reasons to shake down poor black people. But add some marginal restriction on gun ownership like reducing AR magazine sizes and you will see no difference in the murder rate.
And why do the gang-bangers exist? Drug war, my man. And what is the next gun restriction they are considering? Magazine size restrictions, dude. My point is that gun control is not working to prevent gun deaths, and that if they really wanted to reduce gun deaths they would end the drug war. But they don't really want to do that.
How do gangs get money? What draws new members to gangs? Its drug revenue, my friend. Maybe some prostitution/pimping. If the drugs were legal, and the prices fell, the gangs would have no revenue. They could not offer the big life and the bling to new recruits. I stick with my estimate: delete the drug war and urban murders fall by 30%. Are you actually defending the drug war, here? Should pot and coke and meth still be illegal in Chicago?
the evidence seems to go against your premisethe growth in the size of Chicago gangs coincides with the development of the black market in the mid to late 60'swhen alcohol prohibition ended the black market related violence ended
are you saying the west side is not high crime?
On top of that are you so ignorant you think that the only item supplied on the black market was alcohol during prohibition (which ended on December 5, 1933, not the 60's)
do u keep hearing one theme.i need,i need,i need,not ill work for it
Chicago is a wonderful and beautiful city to live and work in. Majority of the crime you hear about on the News comes from 6-7 neighborhoods in total. Violence is not a city wide problem so don't believe what you hear on Fox or CNN
Yup.... it's an amazing city!!!!
What about now?
What about Detroit or Baltimore?
Adel Toutouh Essentially the same thing, different name
(Via Business Insider) Detroit & Baltimore are two of the World's Top 50 cities when it comes to homicides per 100,000. St. Louis is in the top 15.

iloveyoumadhuri South America and South Africa are very violent.
Adel Toutouh I'm in Chicago and I get u Detroit is = to Chicago Baltimore is worse
@@AdelToutouh97 Ehh I sorta agree but there are some pretty stable countries there (granted they are next to some of the most dangerous countries on earth and that inevtably spills over a bit) but I wouldn't label all of South America as very violent
Very deceptive and non fiction set of videos
Why would you attribute all problem onto racism or segregation? And end on that note? It is the worst conclusion with no good answer, you are saying by mixing races everything will magically fix themselves. The only person seems to know what is going on is the educator. The community leaders and historical scholars seems to only care to talk about historical segregation instead of fixing the problem in today's context.
historic segregation is the main thing that caused the issues that Chicago has right. look up redlining and how it effected the local schools and the wealth in the communities of chicago
@@kfen8794 I see that giving under educated people access to internet and more knowledge does not really help anymore than building a library in a majority black school. If only problems are this easy to solve.
Chicago is not segregated. Every person there is free to move. In fact that is how they got there. They moved from the South. This video is just blame blame blame. Either you are the kind of person who can point a gun at another human and pull the trigger or you are not. Too many people in Chicago are that kind of person.
They mean segregation as in access to resources not who you can sit next to or where you can go
Exactly. The rich blacks live next to the rich whites, and the poor whites live next to the poor blacks.
Gerald ok boomer
@@michaelsmith-lf6mm Uh... False!
Redlining alone kills your whole argument. Work on your comprehensive skills and rewatch the video bruh...
I'm a White Guy from Chicago, there's alot of shit here but we're also passionate people that need money and love eating and buying music and seeing movies
Guess you are going to have to start your own training ctr.
@@nancysmith2389 Chicago's school system is a joke! People graduate 8th grade and still can't read. Not to mention the books are so old that it's not unusual for kids to find their grandparents names in some of the books supplied. Not to mention the high schools are even worse! The employment situation has more to do with the high taxation in Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois. Police misconduct had cost taxpayers in Chicago billion(s) in the 2000's alone. Which white residents complain about the high taxes in Chicago & its suburbs yet fail to comprehend that it's due to Police misconduct.
These are all college bubble people. None of them actually live in Chiraq.
If all the wealth black people actually put back into the places they came from. Maybe then thing will be great. Black people must stop depending on everyone else to give them a helping hand. support business that support us.
@@aririyadh8359 what does it feel like knowing you've lived such a pathetic and meaningless life that you have to take to anonymous internet comments to attempt to spread your bigotry?
Chica(don't)go ?
Segregation is not wrong, it's inequality that is wrong.
Lol people don't think about chicago
