B.M. Strix here, and I, am here to talk to
you about a few things today...
One of these things, is democracy.
Another is politics; and another...
...is the city I live in and the complications, which
arise, from the previous two things I just mentioned.
Here in Chicago...
see my city,
which I love, is veryy, uhmm; how to say it?
All things considered, is segregated; and you
know, research does suggest, that this is true. See on one side of the city, uhh, the south
and the west side essentially; you have
trashy, shitty, impoverished
neighborhoods, & on the other, you have
these bulk of the wealth belonging to the middle class.
...and well, the 'wealthy' class of suburbia.
How does this problem arise however? and what do
politics, have to do with that?
Lastly, what and how
is the thing, that has transpired in
Chicago, acceptable in a democracy, and
if it's not; can we even call
ourselves a legitimate democracy?
I mean, Chicago is not unique in it's
large disparity in wealth.
what it is, slightly unique in, is in the fact
that this 'is' a disparity, and those
taking part in it are for the most part
not the party political party you
would associate with,well, a preference
to the rich.  Or an uneven distribution of
money. Usually that connotation is restricted to the
Republican Party; at least by the media,
and a good, GOOD amount of our general population.
however that's not the case here in
Chicago
you see in Chicago these policies are
perpetrated by none other then
the leading party in the city and the
state a very blue state it's the
Democrats you see Rama Manuel our mayor
is part of a long dynasty of corruption
corruption created by the Democrats from
the time of the Daly dynasty politics in
Chicago have been plagued with
corruption I mean you can go as far back
as Al Capone but in recent years it's
really taken a turn for the violent so
to speak
you see many Chicagoans live in places
where violence is the way of life
really
throughout society and these regions
other parts
are completely oblivious and largely
untouched behind this scale would social
one
economic disparity
why is that
well let's look at first of all a few
things and I can't dig into everything
but let's begin
back to random and she's elected in
there partially on the platform
Democratic platform of well raising the
level of education funding for education
in the south and the west side where
schools had been unfortunately almost
condemned by the best
majority people not living there even
though funding had been significant a
game violence in the areas and poverty
levels widely accepted and are to this
day you see these are neighborhoods
we're not allowed people have jobs
unemployment is high gun violence is
high drug use and drug distribution is
high crime rate - oh hi I mean you know
these are places where children don't
have fathers grow up on the street
welfare is the well one of the staple
methods is income and they live off of
handouts which are then
only raised by on various nefarious
active including gang crime robberies
murder drug distribution is a large one
I don't know if I have to mention that
but yeah and so education in my opinion
at least is significantly
positive it is is
the most positive aspects of living shit
here here like that because it allows
for social mobility and an escape and
maybe a change of perception a change of
understanding each other and perhaps the
world itself unfortunately after taking
office Graham Emmanuel who as I had
previously stated random good many
things but really helping the poor
classes and the south and west side of
Chicago largely african-american Latino
people once he got into office lo and
behold he within six months had seven
over 70 schools closed and where the
suburbs no joking actually
another than the South Andrea side
sometimes way he lied did the exact
opposite of what he said he would do and
continues the trend set by previous
mayors and city officials of various
capacities now this is not unique to
Chicago but the Democrats are supposed
to be on the side of impoverished
classes they are not not in this city in
fact they were led to a system for
government handouts welfare and well
zero job growth followed by a series of
you know ridiculously ineffective
tactics including in many ways
completely isolating and ostracizing the
communities there if you can call
communities because by this point there
are generations of people especially in
the african-american areas which have
simply been cast to the side ostracized
and given handouts including welfare
food stamps Medicaid etc to quiet down
simmer down and and essentially
allow themselves to be ignored by the
wider economic spectrum as well as
social spectrum so at this point what
has become of them is a large swathe of
land that resembles Mogadishu more than
Chicago or I mean the United States of
America they lived there and it is not
easy gun violence is widespread murders
almost on a daily that is just how it
life is drugs in food deserts which are
essentially just areas of of the city
that don't even have like a Walmart or
jeweler anywhere really to get groceries
other than like liquor stores do the
fact that they get robbed that there's
violence that there's no real economic
financial benefit for them to open up
there in fact it's detrimental these
communities have really deteriorated
into squalor and
just an embedded violence due to these
Democrats that say they're going to help
them but then catch them to the side
ignore them close their schools and
essentially do not address the
underlying issue they need jobs not
welfare
