I use “ghetto” concerning Hellmart- as in, “This place is getting so ghetto” and it really is.
Like I said, I’ve been to quite a few and have seen first hand how unpleasant they are. All the big US cities – and many smaller cities, are doing bad; record breaking crime rates, worsening income equality, decayed infrastructure and no end in sight. There is plenty of media coverage of these issues.
Scale matters a lot. You live in a small town. It’s going to take drastic overhaul to make things better in the biggest cities.
Perhaps it’s our time that’s unpleasant. Too many decades, centuries, of willful neglect coming back to kick our asses, (we created this mess).
So the world you want is the comfort and security of Gated Communities and HOA’s keeping everyone in line.
Won’t argue that. Perhaps that’s why I live pleasantly outside a nice small town, grateful everyday that I don’t live in one of those crowded cities. Though that’s not a problem of diversity! Diversity is what made the city interesting to begin with.
For instance, as much as I thank my stars to be out here in rural southwest Colorado, I’m just as grateful for growing up in Chicago, though, when it was still a city where museums where free or cheap, city parks welcoming, the diversity of the neighborhood made it interesting and getting around was fun, Riverview Park and a hand full of change, all those experiences enriched and have made me a very different person from who I could have been had I grown up out here in the empty wild west. But that’s the dance of life, give a little, take a little, do the best with what you have and what comes your way.
Now, decades of making too many baby, among other gluttonous sins or society is guilty of, has turn it into a nightmare.
Suburbanization was the ultimate downfall of American cities. The only people who can make cities livable moved away from them.
Gated communities – or something like it, become necessary in a diverse environment.
Yeah, make homelessness illegal, that’ll fix it.
And your headline doesn’t match the data in the article.
Is the cause really some certain type of person? Maybe it’s gun owners, or gun dealers.
Blacks and Hispanics make cities unlivable.
I completely disagree with you, but I appreciate that you are straightforward about it. Most people dance around words like “diversity”, as if it’s not possible for people who look different to live together. You go straight to blaming the brown people
In what way? Do tell, please.
I always thought it was the white people who practised slavery and did the lynching in this country.
I didn’t see any black people participating in the insurrection. Wonder why. Could it be that they are more peaceful than whites, like the Mafia, the NAZIs, the KKK ?
I would hate to live in that environment, and I am white.
It might have something to do with the record breaking crime states among these demographics. It is no different anywhere in the world these groups live.
Yeah ain’t that the truth, check it out:
Guy your blind spot is phenomenal.
Please cease and desist from making racist comments are you will be suspended, if not banned, because this isn’t the first time we’ve warned you.
It’s not Diversity, it’s Intolerance
And not Gated Communities, but cages (prisons) for people like This
And I’m referring to these two:
Another Father-Son duo
IMHO, this is another example of when Parenthood should be a privilege, and not a right.
Intolerance grows from diversity. Living in a homogenous environment allows an individual to say why can’t we all get along? When you live in a diverse environment, you understand the reason why.
Nice red herring, but why don’t you visit Chicago and see who’s doing the killing.
First, you have to choose your timespan to call it “record breaking”. Also choose which crimes, the ones that fit your narrative. Finally, you must believe policing is fair and done ethically. There’s more to factor in, but no reason to go off on tangents.
Oh yeah, you are choosing city stats, but saying they show something about skin color
Yes, I should have stated “homicide rates” instead of crime rates. The stats are record breaking compared to the history of keeping records on homicide rates.
Blacks are the ones killing and being killed, although a few non-Blacks are victims of Black violence.
And no non-Blacks are victims of non-Black violence?
I’m afraid you are cherry-picking.
These are common myths. I really wish you would try to make a real case, instead of just linking poorly written articles. When you work on putting together data that leads to a conclusion, you either create something that is convincing or, you find out you had an opinion, not facts
Trump endorses an ultra-right candidate in the Frenche presidential election.
This man talks about Muslims as the French ultra-right spoke of the Jews in the 1930th, and has been condemned for that. His specialty: To rewrite history to use it. For instance, he says that Petain protected the French Jews, which has been debunked a log time ago.
