Population Decreasing-Get over it.

                                In my group our articles were focused on minorities (Latinos and African Americans) and how they are leaving Chicago. Data shows that Latinos are migrating to Chicago and African Americans are moving out of Chicago. African Americans are migrating to the south or to the suburbs. That leaves the population steadily decreasing. The problem is that Chicago’s City Council would need to adjust the 50 ward map to renew the population that is currently residing in Chicago. That would be disturbing to the political power in Chicago. In my perspective the people have all the power because it is having an effect on the government. So if we want to leave, we can leave.They shouldn't stop us. One article was based on the soul food in Chicago.(This is not a big issue, Soul Food, They can make themselves). Their Worries are that the number of people that come in had decreased over the years. Soul food restaurants continue to close since business is bad. A few of the business owners feel that the reason behind the empty restaurants that once has been full; is because of the bad economy. In the article stated that their reason was the decrease in blacks in Chicago was because they want to pursue a better life and new jobs. They claim that the blacks that migrate away from Chicago are well educated or already have some success in their lives and are seeking more opportunities. In all the other articles were concentrating on crime and more evidence of the decrease in population. That would lead to the main frame which is population is decreasing due to blacks migrating. In the article that talks about the soul food and their concerns are the culture of soul food dying off.  I understand that the food is delicious but I doubt that that’s enough for blacks to stay. In the other article it felt that just because Barrack Obama was the first black president it was going to even attract more people to come to Chicago; just because he is a Chicagoan. City council is wrong. I feel that they should accept it as is and just either adjust the 50 ward map by either percentages of population instead of race  or accept the race that still reside in Chicago. Blacks and Latino’s are searching for better lives and city council shouldn’t get in the way of that. The people made their choice they have the power now. But because of blacks leaving Chicago the African American culture in the black community will be disappear or shut down because there are no supporters. The power of the government In Chicago will decrease when it’s around voting time. It will probably be a fight between democrats and republican parties. City council will still wait for the day of reverse migration. Migration has been going on for a very long time and there has been a lot of success even this economy; so that won’t stop the decrease in the African American population. I would say "Let me leave before i walk right through you".  :)
