  1. You moved to a worst place. Makes a lot of sense.

  2.  who_killed_the_w0rld  Literally the entire American South is worst in overall quality than Seattle. Anyone that disagrees with you is apparently a communist. Looks like Douglass MacArthur has come back to life.

  3.  who_killed_the_w0rld  Based on what? The most dangerous cities in the country are in the Mid-West and the American South. Seattle isn't ranked high at all. From what I found, Seattle is ranked in the middle of the pack or slightly higher or lower. Also ranking particularly lower in violent crime and somewhat higher in petty crime. It has had a large increase in crime, but it is not even close to the worst. Also, cities are not even the only dangerous places. The moonshine backroads of West Virginia and meth labs in Arkansas. The second most dangerous city in one report behind only Detroit is Memphis, Tennessee which is in the American South. There are also numerous other cities in the American South that are considered dangerous. New Orleans, Brimingham, Little Rock, Nashville, Houston, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and others.

  4.  who_killed_the_w0rld  Also, why are you occupied with the fact that those people are black? Some of the most dangerous areas in the country are Hispanic, non-Hispanic white, and Native American. Native American women were even found to be more likely to get arrested than black women. Even if black people were responsible for 99% of all crime (they are not. Around 50% for reported and less than that when counting unreported crime), why is the fact that they are black relevant here? Why would it not supposedly count?

  5.  who_killed_the_w0rld  Lastly, why are you typing black people like that? Just say black people. No one cares that much except for when you get into African diaspora since there are all sorts of different black people.

  6.  who_killed_the_w0rld  I didn't say they were nor do I agree that they are. What I was saying was that other people of other groups commit a huge portion of the crime as well. I also included non-Hispanic white as well for unreported crimes. I also stated that even if they did indeed commit all the crime, judging by the fact that they are black and committing the crime isn't fair.

  7.  who_killed_the_w0rld  Also, some places in Africa are extremely safe with low crime like Botswana. Majority are sub-Saharan African as well. Same with browns in other regions around the world like Bahrain which among the lowest crime rates in the world.

  8.  who_killed_the_w0rld  First off, what does colonization have to do with that? The overwhelming majority of Botswana and other safer African countries are black. Secondly, the reasoning doesn't even make sense as African-Americans had way more than simply colonization. They were literally enslaved and brought across an entire ocean. So by your reasoning here if consistent, colonization would actually make it worst. Third, every single country in Africa and a huge chunk except for Ethiopia has been colonized. So, you don't exactly have a lot to go off here. But, I can say that Ethiopia compared to most other neighboring countries is safer despite still having a very high crime rate. Especially going by regionally where one is away from most of the borders. Bhutan has never been colonized by anyone and yet, it is relatively dark skinned and has very low crime. Thailand is relatively dark and crime is also quite low while it has also never been colonized. Barbados is mostly black and has a lower crime rate than the US. The most dangerous countries in the world are mostly in Latin America as well and are not even close to black majority. These countries even have very significant white populations who most outnumber the blacks. Japan who has never been colonized and is one of the most ethnically homogenous countries in the entire world, has among the lowest crime rates on the entire planet.

  9. I am really tired of this as the places voting the other way are generally worst off. The reds also don’t give a single care and don’t understand a single thing about our west coast cities. Quit trying to make decisions for us when you don’t know a single thing about them. Better yet. I bet you don’t even understand the history of the city in how it developed voting patterns at all.
