>So you've spoken to a large number of the hundreds of thousands of African Americans who live in the neighborhoods most plagued by crime and know that they don't complain about it? It just has to be some derogatory classification of subgroup such as "old white people", As if the hundreds of murders per year were little more than something for them to whine about?
Basically a strawman but whatever, I pointed out that this person was obviously white(the culture comment, growing up in Evanston) and lived in Lake View, two places I will call light on crime compared to South Side. OP is trying to describe Chicago as crime-ridden - when in actuality they would have never lived anywhere near the actual crime epicenters of Chicago and are only operating on fear-mongering.
>Only" in terms of racial injustice? So those violent crime numbers by neighborhood are entirely the fault of the aforementioned white people? The people actually committing them in these neighborhoods have no agency or fault in what they do to their own neighborhoods?
Again, a strawman, but whatever. If you want to paint the problems of an entire area on someone/some group, then the government that dominates your local area is the best option.
>This logic just keeps getting more twisted in the absurdities it has to push to sustain itself.
When you twist everyone's words to misrepresent them and make them illogical, are you shocked that you get lemonade from lemons?
>Doubtless there is racial injustice in a U.S. city with a famously corrupt police/civil administration like Chicago, but in recent decades Chicago has had multiple black mayors and a large percentage of its government and police are staffed by African Americans or people of color in general
That's right, because there have been three black mayors since 1983 and because there is no more explicit policy of racism in the Chicago PD no policies that were formulated by racism, or economic impacts from racism exist anymore.
