At the heart of this...democrat social, economic and law enforcement policy....24 out of 25 of the most violent cities in the United States are controlled by democrats, and have been for decades, and their policies....they control education, welfare, police and how they are used in their cities....and you have the most violent cities in the country....
It is less about race, and more about who has voted for and relied on democrats for their education, and law enforcement..
For example...in Chicago...we are down 2,000 police officers, 1000 due to not having them because the democrat mayors won't spend that money, and another 1000 officers due to sick leave and vacations....but as long as the crime doesn't spill into the rich, white, democrat neighborhoods, there is no need to hire more police...
Education, again, in Chicago and these other cities, controlled by the education wing of the democrat party and their union allies...they have high school graduation rates of 50% and they refuse to make changes to help those children...as long as the rich, white democrats and their minority allies can send their kids to private schools...why fix the democrat controlled schools...
Rich, educated minorities might start to question their allegiance to a political party that owned their ancestors as slaves...and yet told them, "you can trust us to take care of you...."
Keeping minorities, poor, uneducated and killing each other....and then blaming white republicans...are the primary tools of the democrats....
