Now Chicago rejects Chick Fila too...

I mentioned (and posted a link to) cities with a population of 50,000 or greater. I didn't compare apples to apples because you're talking about the wrong fruit. But let's compare some apples...

Look at San Francisco they're ranked 18th in the world and 9th in the US which puts them above Houston, Miami , Detroit. San Francisco is less than 8% black, about 50% white and 30% Asian; their murder rate is much less than those three cities I mentioned despite Seattle having a higher total GDP.

Then look at the next city right behind Detroit - Seattle. Seattle is 70% white and their murder rate is even lower than the national average.

So if you look at these wealthy cities and go down the list some have very high murder rates and some have low murder rates and the relationship is not a linear one with murder rates and total GDP. However, one thing that is always true, is if the city is largely black the murder rate is really high regardless of total GDP.

Four is not a large sample size now is it.

List of cities by GDP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GDP has nothing to do with income as it depends how much of that income goes to labor and capital. any area/city/country that has a high degree of income/wealth inequality has a high crime rate and murder rate, race has nothing to do with it this is seen across the globe. In terms of just the OECD you can compare the violent crime/murder rate and it is directly correlated with income/wealthy inequality as is seen in the 2011 OECD Social Justice report where the US ranks #27 out of #31 member country's with only Greece, Mexico, Turkey and Chile scoring lower.

they keep driving that wedge between the left and right as the country continues to move forward off that economic cliff. there's nothing that can be done that can "fix" the US economy, it is way past the PSR.

it's almost comical the way they treat the American workers and of course the piece of shit media monopoly always does it's part to make sure all the bullshit gets plastered on all media outlets and the important things get suppressed.. the elites in the US have true contempt for the average American worker.

I agree with you, except for this one thing "true contempt for the average American worker" let me explain:

the elite stretch their arm of contempt to reach out to the entire human race, excluding themselves. imo, They just haven't gotten to that place of ultimate power for most people to understand/see it yet.

talking about the historical GDP of a metro city, Chicago which is ranked #4 in the US as a whole

Yeah, you better move those goal posts.

Yeah, you better move those goal posts.

sorry but your pathetic attempt at blaming all problems of the US on race holds no water in reality...the same problems are seen in ALL country's with high inequality regardless of the degree of multiculturalism.

I didn't make that claim. I'm only talking about murder rates. There's a stronger correlation to race than wealth.
