Obama and his kind are not about helping people. They are about control and power.

It’s not just Chicago. Look to any large city, Los Angeles, Detroit, Atlanta, etc, etc, etc. You will never convince these people that if they change their lives, things will get better. They are raised on the street, don’t care about anything or anyone, life has no meaning, everyone owes them (in their mind). Now....what do you do with them, if in fact you can’t change them? If they are part of a gang, it’s blood in, blood out.

My father taught me a lot about being raised on the streets. At 16 both of his parents died. He was on the street in 1927 and joined the Whitefence gang for survival, in Los Angeles. Back then, it was not blood in, blood out. They took care of each other, but they were still a gang. Remember the Purple gang in Chicago? Whitefence was the same. Bad dudes. My father got out of Whitefence when he met and married my mother and moved out of LA. Whitefence didn’t hold it against him.

Today a gang will kill a member that leaves. Things are different today and our normal society is not willing to do what is necessary to get rid of these gangs and the black leaders will keep control of them as long as they keep their power. It’s a dead end street for these kids but they don’t see it and if they did, they won’t care. So what do you do with them?

It is a good article. I have a very special interest in this particular topic on Chicago's South Side.
One thing that strikes me about this article is that Obama’s personal history did not include a father and only a sometime mother. In his mind, he became the most powerful man in the world without the benefit of true parenting, so he would not be able to understand at all what the consequences of a broken family would be...and in fact in his particular instance was of no significance. He has no sense of family himself. He was abandoned by his fathers and his mother. And he seems to espouse no affection for the grandparents who raised him instead. He is not just “cool”, but he is cold and unfeeling. You would think that liberals in their endless self-examination of psychological impacts would have considered this before they voted for the man. As someone on another site observed, Obama has “dead eyes”; I thought it was an excellent observation.

Fantastic but very sad article!

...Obama ignored the primary cause of their escalating dysfunction: the disappearance of the black two-parent family.

The legacy of FDR and generations of DemocRat "administration". All of the worst places to live in America share that shameful legacy.

Google Street View got a good image of Chicago's south side...

Yeah, they got a shooting on camera.

Call me heartless, but until blacks start caring about their own more than I do, why should I? (And by ‘their own’ I mean- they segregate themselves.)

Excellent post.
