Two Chicago icons, Bulls star Jimmy Butler and popular hip hop artist Chance the Rapper, have a message for Donald Trump as the president continues to spotlight the citys violence.
Chance, who recently made history while picking up three Grammy wins Sunday, said in a recent interview with The Undefeated that Trumps series of comments about the rappers hometown made it seem as though he was going to war with Chicago.
Im tired of n-----s talkin about Chicago like its a Third World country, he told the publication. Like, that its not a place of booming business with a very successful downtown and all types of new development.
He added that he hopes Trump will come to the city to do some type of federal overturn of our state and city budgets in terms of schooling and housing.
Butler, who was also a part of the interview, echoed those sentiments saying its hard to relate to the people here if you cant relate to them.
If you keep throwing them in a category that theyre violent, no matter if they change or not, theyre still going to be in that category, he said. You go down there and you change peoples lives. You make them want to do better for the next person. And thats when Chicago is going to be a beautiful place, and nobodys comin here talking about how bad it is like he said, like a Third World country. Cause thats not it.

I guess there’s no way he believes in BLM.....he wants them to continue killing themselves and have the world ignore it because the truth makes “his kind” look bad....he’d make a great Dem politician.
What...so that it can end up in the pockets of people like Ayers, Emmanuel, and other liberal politicians like them over the last century?
I went and checked out some of “Chance the Rapper’s” lyrics. To no one’s surprise they cannot be posted here. But as I suspected, through his lyrics Chance helps create the very thing he’s talking about.
No surprise there, huh????
They are generally better shots in third world countries.
Haven’t seen any Somali Pirates spraying a whole magazine without hitting anything or holding pistols sideways.

Another Mensa offers an opinion! Like most large cities, Downtown Chicago is a vibrant place, but y’all head on down to Cabrini Green and it IS a third-world place.
And sadly, the vast majority of the minority citizens there are the victims, victims of a half-century or more of abuse and neglect by the Democrat “establishment.” The place would be safer immediately, if the city handed out guns to every adult living in Chicago’s South Side. At least, the law abiding folks could fight back.
Only 800 murders??? With a little effort, I’m sure they can easily have more this year.
I can see why he’s famous, that right there is pristine Yogi Berra logic.
