I live in a Memphis suburb and my home is about a mile from the Memphis city limits. My town has had one murder this year. I believe it was only the 2nd murder of the past ten years. I’m in the actual city of Memphis every day. Many of us live and work here without fear of crime. But those living in the rough black neighborhoods of Memphis are a different story entirely. It’s like another world. I would bet 90% of the murder victims were black.
I live in Southaven and drive to Midtown each day to work. I basically don’t watch the local news because the first ten minutes of each broadcast is who got shot and died. My family only comes up to go to the zoo a few times a year. What else we do in north MS, but crime is coming there too
I live in a mostly black hood and what you say is true.
