It took a STUDY to figure this out??? LOL Study: Homicide rate surging for black Chicagoans - Since over 95% of Chicago murders involve a BLACK MURDERER and a BLACK VICTIM..... DUH!!!!

Chicago's per capita homicide rate climbed over the last decade, and the chances of an African-American being killed in the city spiked drastically, according to a new study.

From 2005 to 2015, the city went from 17.3 homicides per 100,000 residents to a rate of about 18.8, according to a report from the Injury Prevention and Research Center at the Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.

But the report held particularly troubling news for African-Americans. The rate for blacks in Chicago jumped from 36.1 homicides per 100,000 residents in 2005 to 46.5 a decade later. Other studies have shown steep drops in the city's African-American population in recent years, but crime figures remain stubbornly high in many largely black neighborhoods.

The vast majority of homicides across all demographic groups were committed with guns; nearly 90 percent of the homicides in 2015 involved firearms, the study found. People ages 20 to 24 had the highest homicide rate in 2015, with 64.3 killings per 100,000.
