In Milwaukee, the homicide rate for black residents is 27.9 per 100,000 compared to 9.7 for Latinos and 1.7 per 100,000 white residents.
Of known 2011 homicide suspects in Milwaukee, 93 percent are black, while 4 percent are white and Latino. The city itself is 40 percent black, 17 percent Latino, and 37 percent white, according to Census figures. {SNIP}
Milwaukee is among the 20 most violent cities in America. The largest number of homicides in Milwaukee occurred in the 53206 Zip Code. {SNIP}
In 2011, 17 of the 86 homicides in Milwaukee occurred in 53206. Between 2005-2009, there were 95 homicides in this Zip Code out of 473 in the city as a whole. That’s 20 percent of all homicides occurring in a Zip Code with less than 5% of the city’s 594,833 population.
Blacks comprise 96 percent of the Zip Code, Latinos are 2.1 percent, and whites are 1.6 percent. {SNIP}
Overall, Milwaukee is also one of the 10 poorest cities in America, and the state of Wisconsin was once known as a “welfare magnet.”
During the 1970s and 1980s, Wisconsin’s welfare benefits grew to be more generous than benefits in neighboring Illinois. By 1985, a Chicago family of three on welfare (AFDC) could increase their monthly cash benefit by roughly $200 by moving 90 miles to Milwaukee. By 1989, Wisconsin’s governor at the time, Tommy Thompson, worried that the state was becoming ”a welfare magnet.”
A Democratic state senator named Joseph Andrea complained that Wisconsin benefits were too high, and that welfare had no work requirement. Milwaukee was one of the Wisconsin cities that became a magnet to certain Chicago residents throughout the l980s.
By 1991, a quarter of Milwaukee’s new AFDC cases were families that had moved to Wisconsin within just the prior three months. {SNIP}

I thank my Dad quite often for working hard, improving his lot in life and getting us OUT of that Hellhole way back in 1970.
I cannot imagine having to or wanting to live there these days if you have some, ANY, means of escape!
OMG! To think how CLOSE we came to having the MAYOR of Milwaukee as our beautiful states Governor? *SHUDDER*
Ping-Worthy?
Sounds like another Democratic [sic] party success story. Soon, all of America will be just like Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, and the rest of the success stories.
I lived in opposite ends of Wisconsin (Lacrosse and Milwaukee), and have travelled throughout the state. It’s a beautiful state with warm, friendly people. Milwaukee does have some redeeming sections (East Side, Lakefront) and it’s north suburbs are nice, but the bad sections of Milwaukee are real bad. Unfortunately, Milwaukee and it’s burbs have been victim to the mob attacks that have plagued other cities the past few years. The Wisconsin State Fair incident being the most notable example.
I come from a mixed-race family. The black family was strong in the 1960s before the welfare state and most black Americans then were Christians. Today, there are more practicing Muslims among black Americans than practicing Christians. Why? Because Islam orders one to be violent in dozens of verses and that appeals to a person who is angry at everyone else. When black America abandoned God, it shouldn't surprise that things went downhill fast. In two generations most abandoned Jesus Christ and without that guidance from above, they ended up in trouble. The welfare state allowed women to abandon their husbands and in a couple of generations we had kids who had never known any sort of authority and thus had no self-discipline. They were set up to fail. But still, despite what could be considered a new form of slavery to the Democrats for in welfare and tens of thousands of programs to buy their votes, they still vote Democrat. The very people who for decades oppressed them— from Southern Slavery to the Redshirts to the longest filibuster in Senate history against the 1964 Civil Rights Act— and they still not only vote for them, they make excuses for them when they lie, cheat, steal, etc. It's like a codependency. Nothing is every their fault or their party's fault, and so they keep going further and further into the hole.
That comment reminds me of the “The Message to Black Christians” by the current Republican nominee for Virginia Lieutenant Governor, E.W. Jackson. Here’s his message (video)...

Milwaukee's problem is the same as all the rest of the formerly industrialized northern cities. - The productive whites who built the cities have left and won't be returning.
Is Racine much better?
Black violence rules on another democrat plantation.
Democrats love blacks at election time.
The rest of the time they just want them on the plantation where they can be fed and watered until the next election.
Democrats have turned cities into nothing more than holding pens.
mexicans are taking over the south side formerly polish and slavic areas.
blacks have entire sections of the inner city and northwest areas.
Definitely ping wothy. Demographics of murder in Milwaukee.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
The 16th Ave viaduct runs from Africa to Mexico.
A precusor for Chicago...
FWIW, my once predominantly German/Polish/Slavic neighborhood is now all Hispanic. 1990-2013. That’s all the time it took; less than 25 years.
Racine is HORRIBLE. Just as bad, if not worse in certain parts.
