[Paglia444]

What decades of democratic rule gets you.

[ROCKSyoutub]

[bellaflowerify]

[Popteart]

Crime and Poverty in under served communities !Then and Now!

Some people have chosen to live beyond their means to escape poverty and crime inside these under served communities like the projects .But you can't run from yourself.

Mayor's like Byrne and Daley are in every community .Chicago is seeing this now!

When people are hungry they will find away to eat ,not just for a moment but for the rest of their lives and their offspring..

Jane Byrne was crazy as Batsh**!

[2blakandbold]

The Biggest lie about Chicago(that it is integrated)It's segregated like most Metropolitan areas.

Unless your wealthy !Some people chose to live beyond their means to avoid crime and poverty in the under served communities like the projects.but you can run but you can't hide.More importantly , You can't hide from yourself!

Jane Byrne was crazy as Bat sh**!

[MrGrevy]

Is this the IDIOT who moved into the Cabrini Green hellhole to show it was "safe"...and she was accompanied by a ton of bodyguards? Unbelievable.

[1nterwebs]

holy shit this is epic , slightly surreal though because it is on film.

[26Deacon]

we all couldnt stand that bitch Jane Byrne in the Greens. that bitch was frontin all along by moving into the19 story reds. she didnt give a fuck about us. oh well all that shits buried in the past & in glad to see that last of the high rises come down. good riddance. CHI-CITY!!!

[MrGrevy]

@26Deacon Noews flash - no one cares about you black bastards. Only a negro would live in a free home and still complain.

[26Deacon]

@MrGrevy NEWS FLASH!!! no one cares about you racists ass crackers either bitch. STFU trailer trash  CHI-CITY!!!

[MegaDoomkid]

[kuei1248]

Good times!

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

Wow! Amazing footage! Jane was so bad ass. Great stuff here!

[retroexplosion1]

What a joke that broad was. Moved into Cabrini projects to show it was safe. What a joke.

[chitown1966]

I can't believe people even still vote for democrats in Chicago. hmm, lets see , high crime, high murder rate, high drug use, high teen pregnancy, high HIV rate, high unemployment, high population of illegals and minorities, high level of corruption and police brutality, and yet people of Chicago expect things to change when you keep voting the same people and same party in year after year? how many thousands of people have been murdered since daley has been elected? isnt he accountable????

[free2drm]

What a hell-hole.

[chattychar]

wow,at first i thought jane byrne was at least noble for trying to help solve the problem by living there tryin to get an idea of what was going on .not many would be gutsy enough to attempt it.now i see how it was a total publicity stunt. she didn't give a rats ass bout the people there. seeing her slap those kids hands telling them to get more of their friends. then half assed singing. that guy did nothing but use his freedom of speech. least he wasn't voicing his opinions with a gun.

[siuwed]

@chattychar She was Palin before Palin was cool.

[averypack13]

@siuwed No way, she was way tougher and smarter than Palin....

[siuwed]

@averypack13 And just as clueless.

[ChicaGOrilla4CHN]

cabrini green, before the snipers..

[NEWMAYORDANKNIGHT]

JANE BYRNE CAMPAIGN

[DONTBESTUPID2]

Wow! This turned out to be one great Easter advent. 

[tdubblz]

I was a baby in my mommy's belly down in New Orleans when this happened. This is messed up... and just like today, it was all caught on camera!

[Dwight1117]

Until black people come together, this kind of disrespect will continue. Those brother were doing nothing outside of their constitutional rights.

[cowbells4u]

Politians are so fake, I mean come on...As if Jayne burn really cares about impoversed black people in the ghetto!!! So fake. I was a little kid back then growing up in the northwest suburbs of Chi-town. I know Harold was in office(Mayor) then....

[Dwight1117]

At the end of this clip you can see the racist cops attacking the black man simply because he and others were exercising their constitutional rights when they called it how it was back then.

Coming up as a young man in Cabrini, I experienced that many times from those racist ass cops. And Byrne condoned it.

[Ariamaluum]

@Dwight1117. The cops and Byrne were both Catholic.

[clearwhitecrystal]

wow u actually taped that so cool i wanst born until 1990 lol but yea this is the same place candymen movie was filmed at there are no more reds up?

[clearwhitecrystal]

is that same church still up at 00:07? and i wnet to google maps and i dont see those apartments i typed in division and cleveland and i see no apartments wtf?

[MediaBurnArchive]

That wasn't a church, it was just an outdoor stage with a cross on it.

Cabrini Green is in the process of being torn down. Most of the buildings are gone already.

[clearwhitecrystal]
