Which Side Has the Most Violence in Chicago: The South Side or the West Side?

Earlier this year I wrote about Lupe Fiasco and his reasoning behind making a song on Harold’s Chicken. I briefly talked about the division that exists in Windy City in that article. Those lines are drawn by various things like food, sports, and upbringing. The truth is even though Chicago is one big city, it is defined by its neighborhoods. Even though Black people predominately reside on either the West or South Side. There is still a divide about which side is the best or in this case; the worst.  It doesn’t matter that on each side of the city, Blacks are in a bind of a  common thread of neglect, poverty, and crime; some seem to feel one side is better than the other.
