WBEZ: Class segregation among blacks is higher among both whites and Latinos. So when you measure, as you mentioned, the evenness of the classes within the predominantly black, Latino or white neighborhoods, you find that there is greater pull-away between poor blacks and upper income blacks than there is between poor whites and upper income whites and poor Latinos and upper income Latinos.

Any time you make a suggestion for improvement, you are implying criticism.  (Move time bar around 42:25)

Deborah Tannen: It's not who's right, who's wrong? It's that suggestions for improvement really are implied criticism, and are also a sign of caring.

Mayor Rahm Chicago Schools Crime

 

 

 

In 2012 Mayor Rahm Emanuel told Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis “25 percent of the students in this city are never going to be anything, never going to amount to anything and he is never going to throw money at it." 

Did some of today's neighborhood criminals attend the Chicago Public Schools while Rahm Emanuel was Mayor of Chicago?

Reduce Neighborhood Crime

 

 

What can Chicago residents do to help reduce neighborhood crime?

 

Call the police more often?

 

Move out of Chicago? 

 

Demand The Mayor of Chicago offer jobs, mental health services, or a prison cell for all potential criminals?

Chicagoans who are mentally stable, earn a good living, and have a good moral compass don't commit neighborhood crime.
