Chicago's per capita homicide rate climbed over the last decade, and the chances of an African-American being killed in the city spiked drastically, according to a new report.

From 2005 to 2015, the city went from 17.3 homicides per 100,000 residents to a rate of about 18.8, according to a report from the Injury Prevention and Research Center at the Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.

But the report held particularly troubling news for African-Americans. The rate for blacks in Chicago jumped from 36.1 homicides per 100,000 residents in 2005 to 46.5 a decade later. Other studies have shown steep drops in the city's African-American population in recent years, but crime figures remain stubbornly high in many largely black neighborhoods.

#AllLivesMatter

A liberal would say I’m racist for posting that, but I don’t care. The word “racis” no longer has a relevant meaning. To liberals, the only lives that matter are thugs killed by police. To me, the blacks killed by other blacks in Chicago because liberal policies left them with no respect for life are just as big a loss as those killed by police. Usually it’s thugs being killed either way, but I’d like to see conservatives teach personal responsibility even to urban youths, and give them a reason to live and to respect life.

Just shows that the federal government isn't INVESTING enough in the Black community of Chicago.

Translation, send more money.

But these black people are, for the most part, killed by other black people. So, their lives don’t matter.
