A love letter to the Chicago Hood

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

This is a love letter to the inner city. This is a love letter to a concept of Chicago that is constantly under attack. This is a love letter to the people in the hood who raised me, sustained me, and supported me.

Nobody cares about Chicago.

Oh I know, just wanted this out there for the experts in gun violence that never lived there.

The argument in a nutshell:

"We, the people living in the hood, lack economic opportunity so we turn to crime to pay the bills. Give us your money nicely so we don't have to make it selling drugs to your kids."

I was going to type out some long thought out logical argument, but then I remembered who I was talking to.

You are right. After all, blacks are the only people taking drugs right? If drug sellers only had to depend on the black community to make money, they would have been out of business a long time ago.

I wonder who they are making the money off of?

Meth, cocaine, heroin, speed, ecstasy,

It would appear our public schools have failed you.

Why, because I pointed out a fact? If you are to respond, please respond to something that you know about. And my private life is not something you are qualified to respond about.

No, because your response betrayed your utter and complete misreading of the post you responded to.

It's a real shame what White America has done to the system of public education in this country. Especially the public education system in the hood. You have my condolences.

No it did not. I did not agree with your comment in full. It looks as if you are saying blacks are only selling drugs to other blacks based off of your comment and this is not true. This is the only thing I am pointing out. Please un-bunch your panties.

You got it half right. Report to remedial reading immediately and for God's sake pick a nice suburban school this time. Get yourself a pretty little young white teacher so you finally learn how to read right. Remember, it's their language so you need one of them to teach it.

Boy, you must be missing your daily dose today. When you take it, get back online. Until then I do not think you are functioning well enough.
