The city of Chicago, long run by Democrats, has an infamous black crime problem. Over the course of Father’s Day weekend around 47 people were shot and 8 people killed, with a 105% increase in violent crime compared to 2025. On “Juneteenth”, a drive-by mass shooting in Princeton Park injured at least 12–14 people with over 100 shell casings recovered.
The situation is so bad that many black commentators are starting to speak out, demanding to know why black Americans can’t seem to stop killing each other.
All the evidence, all the data, suggests that Father’s Day weekend violence in the black community is so egregious exactly because there are almost no fathers. In Chicago, 80% of all black births are to single mothers and 72% of black children live in single parent households, compared to a national average of 25% across all ethnic groups. Approximately 70% of all juveniles facing incarceration come from single parent households.
Coupled with an overall culture that idolizes violence and lacks basic impulse control learned from proper parenting, the source of the problem is clear. Democrats, however, have a different theory.
In a press conference addressing Chicago’s national embarrassment, Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson diverted the discussion into his own personal pet project on reparations. He argues that the “history of slavery” in the US is the source of income inequality; insinuating that income inequality is the root cause of violent crime in the black community. In other words, black-on-black crime is somehow all white people’s fault.
