A lot of people are in denial in cases like this. Sexual liberalism has produced a generation of children who are monsters and people who are useless.

The Daley dynasty in Chicago may be giving way to the Obama-Emanuel political machine, but one thing remains constant in the Windy City: youth violence and a collective refusal to acknowledge its root cause. On the one-year anniversary of the beating death of a Chicago teen by his fellow students, Chicago remains in denial about the driving factor behind such mayhem: the disappearance of the black two-parent family.
The September 24, 2009, mob assault on 16-year-old Derrion Albert was captured on cell-phone video and broadcast around the world, provoking a crisis in the Obama administration. The White House was at that moment pushing the International Olympic Committee to award the 2016 Games to Chicago, a city intimately associated with the president and his inner circle. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Education Secretary Arne Duncan hurriedly flew to the Windy City promising more federal aid, while the Chicago school system launched a $40-million social-services and security program to connect “at-risk” male students with social workers.

Great post. Thanks.
Every third winter I have to spend a week in meetings in downtown Chicago. The place just gets worse and worse; I’ve learned to avoid taxis — if you’re not watching them carefully some cabbies will try to rip you off bigtime. And the panhandlers, while becoming more inventive, are getting ever more aggressive and irritating.
The majority of the crime in Chicago is committed by blacks on blacks. The overwhelming majority of the crime is committed on the city's near West and South sides, haven's for gangs and drugs. Thankfully I don't live in Chicago (or even C(r)ook County for that matter) but I ride the Metra through the near South side on my way to work each day, it looks like bombed out Beirut. Fire riddled, boarded up "houses" and apartment buildings, empty lots overgrown by weeds, trash everywhere and junk cars all over.
The fact that's not mentioned in the article btw is the fact that the Chicago Police are understaffed 2,300+ officers every day. There aren't enough police to patrol the city and prevent/avert/respond to crimes committeed. The gangbangers know this, and there are a number of "no go" zones in the city that the Chicago Police abandoned years ago. One can thank the outgoing Mayor Daley for this, he's decimated the police force, cut funding, forced early retirements and otherwise made it so one wouldn't want to be a Chicago police officer.
Then there's that worthless POC Jody Weiss, Chicago's chief of police, but I won't go there.
I have trouble understanding why one would desire to be mayor of Chicago. It can only be that there is a lot of graft and corruption to be had there.
Students of violence, destruction, and death. They got A+ in those for this project.
I think chicago needs an experienced community organizer. Maybe we can think of one and hope he is available soon! Hmm, let’s see...

What does this article have to do with politics? The author says herself this is a result of single parent homes. This is just an way for RCP to give their racist, wingnut followers an excuse to spout racist nonsense about black people. It’s actually pretty disgusting that even RCP would stoop to this level. The good old southern strategy eh?
Even funnier are the idiotic comments that blame the Dems for this. As a black woman, who knows much more about being a black woman than those who aren’t, I will tell you why there are so many single parent families. No, it’s not because they get paid to be single, idiots. It’s because there is a shortage of eligible black males! Thanks to racism in the good ole US of A, blacks are disproportionately imprisoned for the same crimes that whites commits. There also is no decent education in the inner city and rural areas, so the odds are stacked against these young men being successful. As a result, if you take away all of the black men in jail (many due to the proven bias in the ‘justice’ system) those who are gay, and the near epidemic of successful black men who marry white women (because they have been brainwashed to believe that blond Becky is the ideal) what are you left with? Not enough eligible black men left to marry. It’s not rocket science. In my family alone, 80% of us are college educated. Out of all the successful males in my family, about 60% have married white women.
Slavery is the root of all this. Black men were ripped from their families made to feel like they weren’t men. For generations too many you black boys had no role model on how to be a man. Black women were forced to rear children alone. These women were conditioned to be heads of the house. It is ingrained in us to be strong black women who don’t need men because too many women in our past had no choice in this matter. As a result, many black women won’t let their man be the man. And here comes Becky all ready to submit. I am simplifying this, and there are many other ways that slavery and Jim Crow have helped destroy the black family. However, it would take 20 more paragraphs to explain them all. There is also the problem of black men being so emasculated by this racist country that they believe the more babies they have, the more ‘manly’ they are. That is also an issue. But this is a vicious cycle, with many causes, that continues today. I am sure I will be called a racist, but the truth is the truth. Most posters here will never understand and/or will deny these truths, but that doesn’t make what I’ve said any less true.”
What seems to be overlooked is that the African American family before the War on Poverty was intact and healthy.
How do these women define men as ‘eligible?’
