In the case of Chicago, most of the violence occurs in low-income neighborhoods that contain high percentages of minority populations (see Englewood, Austin, West Garfield Park).  I've never met anyone in the city who believes that minorities are inherently more violent than non-minorities; the general consensus is that the frequent school closings and unemployment in these neighborhoods leads to increased gang activity and violence.  

 

Yes and people in the city just accept it as normal suggesting most people are just passively racist towards blacks. 

Just because people dont say things out does not mean they dont in thier mind or just normally.

I been to the city and it seems people in the city could care less that 100s of people get murdered each year. 

I'm not sure there is anything I can say to change your perspective.  I'm not doubting that racist people live in Chicago, but it feels unfair to discredit an entire city, in which more than half of the population is a minority, because of those types of people.
