Mike Tyson Comments On Youth Violence in Chicago
After chewing the fat with former boxing champ Evander Holyfield on Oprah last week, boxing legend Mike Tyson, in his own unique, inimitable language, speaks on the youth violence that plagues Chicago.
As you know, Barack Obama cut his political teeth in Chicago. We’re wondering why Obama hasn’t been back home yet to speak on the violence himself?
But he can run to Denmark to make a failed pitch for the Olympics. And he can rush to Oslo, Norway to accept up a Nobel peace prize that he knows he didn’t earn. I guess those trips are way more important than addressing a city with the highest youth murder rate in the country.

Evander still looks good, he just has too many kids. Is it Obama’s job to go back to Chicago and address what is going on?
If the parents don’t do their part, it ain’t going to work.

I agree with #2 & come on cut the guy some slack
Sandra you need some help
Did Bush run to Texas whenever something happened?
Did Clinton run to Arkansas whenever somehting happened?
Technically Obama is from Hawaii…That’s why we have Alderman, Mayors, Governors, Senators and so on to deal with mess on the City/State level. The crime here is nothing new. Just because the President has a home here now everybody and their mammy want to speak out about it. Don’t just speak on it. DO SOMETHING! I am not impressed with celebrities (A,B,C,D, list)jumping on the bandwagon…..
Hello All. This type of violence has been going on wayyyyy before Obama took office. Our young people have been consistently killing each other since the late 80s. And I agree with 2 & 3, if the parents aren’t doing their work, nothing will work. And many of these parents(or should I say parent because most of the time there is only one involved with the children) are too concerned about getting their nails and hair done and getting their grove on. I’m just saying. Peace.
I agree if the parents aren’t doing anything nothing will work. Sandra, with all the violence going on in GA WHAT DA FUKK R U DOING TO HELP?

What violence? When was the last time a gang of savages beat a boy to death in the streets in Atlanta? Our violence is nothing compared to the level of what’s going on in Chicago.
violence is everywhere! somewhere in GA a man is bein bent over as we speak. half the stuff isnt even shown on tv. how do we “compare” violence in cities anyways?
Violence is everywhere but when these attacks are this vicious we have to speak out.
Parents have to step up and raise our children to respect people before we chastise our communities
!!!
There is violence ALL OVER the country involving our youth. Not just Chicago. One kids death isn’t worse than anothers whether he was beaten to death, shot to death, stabbed to death in the end it still means death to our babies and the future of our communities.

What violence? Auntie what side of town do you reside?
yeah chicago’s violence is so outta control. my friends who live there or who have to go there on business…i just say be careful. I can’t do it and want no parts of it.
I was so outdone by that guy getting beat to death whether he completely innocent or not, I hoped Chicago lost the bid for the Olympics; and they did–EARLY.
There’s no cleaning it up. Exactly how do you clean up a savage mentality of I dont give a eff about you or you offspring and will shoot your mama if I feel like it. Chicago is in a very sad state right now. very sad.
