(18,124 posts)you're already neck deep and digging deeper. WWB, DWB, are the only reason a lot of people are harassed by the police. Your pithy response leads me to believe that you must BRING attention to yourself, while one fact brings a black person to the attention of police who are racist and applying that power they have to perpetuate that racism. I see I'm going to have to go through this Chicago litany every week now because someone wants to point out that, even in spite of white mass shootings and white gun insanity, 'urban' areas still carry the onus of being worse. This is how I see this weekly litany of chicago gun violence playing out. The author of this weekly litany along with people, like you, jumping on that train of accusation are representative of part of the overall problem of racial profiling, on the sly mind you, and never will be part of the solution.
The gun violence in Chicago is a tragic and preventable problem. No doubt. But to want to profile a whole race of people, because of some fear of all black people being criminals, in your world/mind, until proven otherwise, is absurd. Quit digging before you bury yourself in your own BS.
