犯罪統計を調べれば黒人犯罪数の多さに気付く。アメリカでの殺人事件ではその半数が黒人対黒人の殺人。でも数値を見ただけでは、日本人には犯罪がそもそもすくない社会に慣れているためパッとしないだろう。実感を持たせるために、どんなものかをニュース記事で拾ってみた。場所はイリノイ州の大都市シカゴ市。前大統領のオバマや黒人テレビホストで名をはせたオープラの本拠地。そこにある黒人コミュニティーでつい先週の週末6月19日（金曜夜）ー22日（月曜朝）に起こった殺人事件である。殺人事件だけしか書いてないが、その他の犯罪も当然あることも忘れてはならない。これが毎日のように起きていると思ってよい。余談だが、ニューヨークとかロスとかの大都市も事情は同じとみて正しい。またアフリカの黒人国家を比べると面白い。南アフリカは黒人人口が80％であり、白人がたったの10％しかいない。国をうごかしているのは黒人。南アフリカの驚異的な犯罪数はいったいどう説明するのか。白人の黒人差別という言い訳は通用しない。笑

104 shot, 15 fatally, over Father’s Day weekend in Chicago
Five children were among the 15 people killed, including a 3-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl killed in separate shootings in Austin on Saturday.

Chicago saw its highest number of gun violence victims in a single weekend this year with 104 people shot across the city from Friday evening to Monday morning, 15 of them fatally. Five of those killed were minors.
The weekend saw more shooting victims but less fatalities than the last weekend of May, when 85 people were shot, 24 of them fatally — Chicago’s most deadly weekend in years.
In a Sunday news conference, Chicago Police Supt. David Brown reflected on the surge in gun violence. “Bullets don’t just tear apart the things they strike,” Brown said. “Bullets also tear apart families. Bullets destroy neighborhoods and they ruin any sense of safety in a community.”
⁂Five children killed
The latest child fatality happened early Monday in Austin on the West Side.
Two boys, 15 and 16, were walking in an alley at 12:18 a.m. in the 4700 block of West Superior Street when someone fired at them, possibly from a gray sedan, according to Chicago police. The 15-year-old was shot in his leg, chest and abdomen. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead. The other boy, 16, was hit in the ankle and also taken to Stroger. He was in fair condition.
Saturday night, a 13-year-old girl was killed and two other teens were wounded in Austin on the West Side.
The girl was inside a home about 8:30 p.m. in the 1000 block of North LeClaire Avenue when the shots were fired, and she was struck in the neck, police said. Amaria J. Jones was taken to Stroger, where she was pronounced dead, authorities said.
