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.

I wasn’t born in Memphis, but I have lived here 42 years. It is still GREAT place to raise a family. QUIT BAD MOUTHING MEMPHIS EVERY CHANCE THAT YOU GET!

[Coldwater Creek]

Memphis is a great place to live and raise a family. The only place that has violent crime are those two small areas. What would a Easterner know about Memphis? .

[To Hell With Poverty]

4) it’s only a hop,skip and a jump to Grant Park and East Atlanta,two areas full of gentrifying gen X and gen Y hipsters. No,thanks.

LOL, I was one of those. Husband and I lived right ON Moreland Ave! For security we resorted to fostering Doberman Pinschers, no joke. Nearly bought a house on Lucille Ave in the West End (we are obsessive about bungalows and found one in nearly pristine unrenovated condition) but decided we just weren't that avant garde (or stupid). Let the gays do the serious pioneering.

Now we're in Flyover Country and say "Never again!" Having been raised in the safe confines of preppyville New England and spent considerable time in the south I just don't understand how southerners can stand to subject themselves to that constant, pervasive threat level. Why put up with it????

[Stentor]

West and North Philly don’t even make the list.

I feel safe now.

Well, I am sorry to have offended you.
I just call it as I saw it, and from what friends tell me. I left before the blacks took over all of the government.
Is it not true that the MLGWD was split up and sold off to out of state companies? Maybe that was just a rumor.
No doubt, many of the suburban neighborhoods are still nice.
I was raised in The Village, and my parents lived there till they died.
Oh, don’t feel like I singled out Memphis. I bad mouth everything in today’s USSA, haha.
It may get people to wake up and take back the country.

Perry Homes and Bankhead was moved down to Clayton County when the Olympics came in 96.

Now Clayton County (yes, of the notorious cheating scandal as was as Atl. Public Schools-same teachers) is similar to those areas. Southlake Mall is a place to just get robbed.

Gee, they all seem to have something in common. What were the odds? OBlack will be making a speech about car locks soon.

Pray for America to Wake Up

[autumnraine]

Worked on Moreland Ave for 3 years back in late 80’s, early 90’s. It was an adventure.

[To Hell With Poverty]

I have been in some really really bad areas of Atlanta in my past (East Lake Meadows,Red Oak, Hollywood Courts,Bowen Homes,Perry Homes,Techwood,the Bluff,Cabbagetown,Boat Rock, Herndon Homes,Capitol Homes,Dixie Hills,etc.),but the only one I where I was really in fear was Bankhead Courts.

So exactly how long have you been dealing crack, anyway?

;)

Ah, the glory days of Little 5 Points!!!

When I lived near Atlanta (well, hour trip in rural era south of Atlanta) we would still take day trips to LFPs. Love Wax and Facts and miss The Vortex now that I am down in South Florida. Best Buffalo burger in the WORLD!

Found this also at the site, thanks. Philly is right in the middle, not a good Ping!

Why am I not surprised by this. Maybe—just maybe—some—a wee bit—of what the KKK people said about blacks was partly true? What if that freedom thing wasn’t a good things for blacks or whites? Maybe blacks need to be controled some way?

[FreedomPoster]

North of Ponce and you’re OK. Just outside the Perimeter north in my case. Those guys stick out like a sore thumb out here. But yeah, it’s an issue for sure.

[FreedomPoster]

Reading Free Republic is how I became aware years ago of the ethnic cleansing of L.A by the Hispanics against the Blacks. A 15 - 20 year process, from what I’ve read.

You sure never heard about it from the Six O’clock News.

[FreedomPoster]

You should look into how that closing was handled. Completely illegal action by the mayor at the time, IIRC. and I do:
