If I ever wanted to know what hell looked like I found at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_St._Louis,_Illinois
East St. Louis, Illinois he racial makeup of the city was 1.23% White, 97.74% Black
40.6% had a female householder with no husband present
Crime
East Saint Louis...... National average
Murder 101.9 ..........5.6
That LOW??? East St. Louis must be on the recovery. Considering what a hell hole it is I would have figured that number would be above 90% with the female householder having multiple kids from multiple baby daddy's.
