Let's Take a Look at a 'Real' Black Problem, Shootings and Murders-- Part 1: And These Aren't Being Done by Police or Confederate Statue

From the January 2, 2020,  Hey Jackass !  Illustrating Chicago values site.

Okay, every so often I like to put forth this item about a major problem in Chicago (as well as in most major U.S. cities) and that is Black on Black crime, especially when it comes to shootings and murders.  

Now, personally, I think this is a much bigger problem than Confederate statues and flags which, in themselves, may bring back bad memories, but, other than the statue that "fell" on the "protester" at Portsmouth, Virginia, at the behest of a Virginia state legislator, not one Confederate statue has attacked a black person.  No Confederate flag has flapped a black person either.

As far as I know, this site I am using is entirely legit and uses police reports to compile their very extensive list.  Well worth checking it out.

They even have maps and lots of charts and a list of neighborhoods affected by the violence.  Unfortunately, it does not list specifically the race of the victims, but looking at the names and where the shootings took place, one can get an idea of who is doing all this.
