Even the most dangerous cities in America can have relatively safe neighborhoods, as there is more variation in crime within most cities than between cities. But using exclusive data developed by NeighborhoodScout, and based on FBI data from all 17,000 local law enforcement agencies in America, we here report those specific neighborhoods in America that have the highest predicted rates of violent crime per 1,000 neighborhood residents of all. Violent crimes include murder, forcible rape, armed robbery, and aggravated assault. These neighborhoods are the epicenters of violence in America, where social issues are likely to ignite into violence and spread. See our FAQ on how we rank the most dangerous neighborhoods

Each year, roughly 7,000 blacks are murdered. Ninety-four percent of the time, the murderer is another black person. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Using the 94 percent figure means that 262,621 were murdered by other blacks. Though blacks are 13 percent of the nation's population, they account for more than 50 percent of homicide victims. Nationally, the black homicide victimization rate is six times that of whites, and in some cities, it's 22 times that of whites. I'd like for the president, the civil rights establishment, white liberals and the news media, who spent massive resources protesting the George Zimmerman trial's verdict, to tell the nation whether they believe that the major murder problem blacks face is murder by whites. There are no such protests against the thousands of black murders.

There's an organization called NeighborhoodScout. Using 2011 population data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 2011 crime statistics from the FBI and information from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies in the country, it came up with a report titled "Top 25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in America." (http://tinyurl.com/cdqrev4) They include neighborhoods in Detroit, Chicago, Houston, St. Louis and other major cities. What's common to all 25 neighborhoods is that their makeup is described as "Black" or "Mostly Black." The high crime rates have several outcomes that are not in the best interests of the overwhelmingly law-abiding people in these neighborhoods. There can't be much economic development. Property has a lower value, but worst of all, people can't live with the kind of personal security that most Americans enjoy.

Disgustingly, black politicians, civil rights leaders, liberals and the president are talking nonsense about "having a conversation about race." That's beyond useless. Tell me how a conversation with white people is going to stop black predators from preying on blacks. How is such a conversation going to eliminate the 75 percent illegitimacy rate? What will such a conversation do about the breakdown of the black family (though "breakdown" is not the correct word, as the family doesn't form in the first place)? Only black people can solve our problems.

My first reaction, too: where’s Philly in that racial horror show?

Nailed it!

Good to see this concept getting some exposure.

Hush! Are you trying to blow my cover?

“What would a Easterner know about Memphis?”

I’ve lived in many places. I was also responding to a post that was written by someone who lived there.

[Coldwater Creek]

Alex is an Expat. I really was just messing with you. North vs South.

[EEGator]

Sorry. :)

I usually can pick up on joking around, but sometimes I fail...like now.

Just FYI, I lived in FL for 13 years.(TX 8 months)

[NFHale]

Clearly the author has never taken a walk through North Philly or West Philly...

[Responsibility2nd]

North Tulsa is a disaster....
Black on black crime is epidemic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Black on white crime is no picnic either. Bob and Nancy Strait lived in north Tulsa. They were married for 65 years. They were planning to move to an assisted living home. But they day before they were to move; a son of Obama raped and murderd the wife and shot the husband in the face. He died a week later.

What makes me shudder is that the Straits lived a mile from where my elderly parents lived. Thank God my parents did make it out alive and they spent their last years in a safe secure assisted living facility.

THANKS for the ping.

True Dat!

Haha - I was just searching for the boundaries of her district - thanks for posting.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Scary, isn’t it?

[delchiante]

I take it from your name you live in NoCal ...been there lots of time working and living in Washington and Oregon... enjoyed the lack of real cold winter and lower humidity in the summer out there... and then there is northern Mexico, er, san diego, which was the nicest climate around..

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Greater Memphis is darker than greater Detroit.

[nascarnation]

Motown sweeps the podium!

[Political Junkie Too]

Anywhere of either side of Dixie Hwy in South Florida is that way.

[Political Junkie Too]

They are equal opportunity cities. They don't concentrate on any one neighborhood or intersection.

[autumnraine]

Uhhhh yep. I live about 1/4 mile from Dixie.

Tom Fleming's posse?

Clyde Wilson swings a mean chain and aims below the belt, and that Serbian guy is murder with a tire iron.
