Kimmel Shows Shocking Indifference to Plight of Young Black Men
Propagandist teams with Gov. Pritzker to deflect from Chicago's death toll
Kanye West rocked the culture 20 years ago by claiming President George W. Bush didn’t care about black people.
The rapper’s proof? The ugly fallout from Hurricane Katrina and the government’s inefficient response to the tragedy. True? False? The fact that President Bush played a sizable role in funding AIDS prevention across Africa suggests West was peddling Fake News before the term went viral.
Now, propagandist Jimmy Kimmel is not just ignoring the tragically high death toll for young black men in Chicago, he’s making it a laugh line on his ABC showcase.
Kimmel brought on far-Left Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker Tuesday to attack claims the Windy City’s crime problem is out of control.
Why?
President Donald Trump wants to bring National Guard members into the city to squelch the violence. He did just that in Washington, D.C., and crime rates plummeted. That city’s Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser initially scoffed at Trump’s plan but later endorsed it.
Pritzker, wearing a bulletproof vest, mocked the idea that his beloved Chicago has intractable crime problems.
“As you can see, there’s utter mayhem and chaos on the ground,” the Democrat said, repeating a progressive gimmick. Find a peaceful spot in an otherwise crime-ridden city and pretend it captures the overall mood.
Kimmel even prodded his audience to shoot their own misleading videos mocking big-city crime with the hashtag #ShowMeYourHellHole.
The trained seals in Kimmel’s audience yukked along with the governor’s prepared bit.
Here’s what I don’t get about any of this. This party, and this media led by people like Kimmel literally lost an election because they spent the last four years telling you things actually happening didn’t exist:
– Inflation not seen since the 70s
– Open borders
– Violent… https://t.co/tzai6pMZU2— Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) October 15, 2025
It’s the latest example of Kimmel and Pritzker tag-teaming to improve his presidential chances in 2028. The last time around, Kimmel tried to deflect from the governor’s obvious weight issue to boost his presidential dreams.
Now, Kimmel is denying reality, hoping his shrinking audience will take him at his word.
“There’s no hellscape that I’d rather be in,” Pritzker said at the end of his bit. Tell that to the families of so many young black men slaughtered in the city.
Over the Labor Day weekend, nearly 60 people were shot, and at least nine people were killed in Chicago. Under Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson, the city experienced 572 homicides in 2024, making it the deadliest U.S. city by total homicides for the 13th consecutive year.
The victims are typically black citizens by a wide margin.
Black people make up 80 percent of Chicago’s fatal shooting victims.
The larger issue? The Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies often camouflage larger problems. Reports say D.C. cops are pressured to hide crime statistics. More alarmng? High-profile attacks too often lead to little or no jail time.

The larger question should haunt this late-night host. Does Kimmel care about black people?
If he does, why is he so indifferent to the rising body count in the Windy City? Wouldn’t he welcome National Guard troops, politics aside, if it meant fewer young black men fell victim to gun violence?
And, by extension, why isn’t Gov. Pritzker more concerned about it? There’s a stark difference between the two, after all.
One is an alleged comedian pushing phony progressive talking points to his fans. The other runs an American state and dreams of being the next Commander in Chief.

Chicago is the third biggest city in the US, so saying that it had the most murders in a year is super misleading. Of course the biggest cities have the most murders. The only accurate statistic is the percentage of murders per 100,000 people, in which Chicago is not even in the top 10 deadliest cities. In fact, the top four deadliest cities are all in red states. Even this article by the conservative – oriented news site “the hill“ gives this correct information:
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5482375-homicide-rates-major-cities/
The deadliest city in the US has triple the number of murders per 100,000 people that Chicago has. That city is in Mississippi, but Trump doesn’t send troops there because it is a deep red state. Portland, Los Angeles and DC are also not in the top 10. Thus Trump sending troops to those 4 cities is an authoritarian move only to hurt the opposing political party, create upheaval in those cities, and is clearly mis-using the armed services.
This article below lists 22 cities with a higher murder rate than Chicago, Portland or Los Angeles. Thus clearly, Trump and his lackey’s are blatantly lying to us Americans, yet again in order to further his demented, selfish agenda:

Until blacks take responsibility for their actions, culture, and lack of self-control, nobody will care what happens to the so-called “black community”. Black fatigue is reaching levels unthought of, even as recently as last year. The rest of the world is waaaaay past tired of having a drug and alcohol fueled culture of violence, rape, entitlement, and total lack of self-responsibility forced down their throats. Until blacks start caring about themselves, nobody else will either.
Wow. Can you say what a racist you are without saying you are a racist? Clearly you can.
Total Chicago Since Pritzker (2019–mid-2025): Approximately 3,446 homicides and 16,860 non-fatal shootings.
Total Under Johnson (May 15, 2023–Oct 15, 2025): ~1,126 homicides and ~4,079 non-fatal shootings
You can bet that if the murders were happening in white neighborhoods instead of black the leftist soccer moms would be screaming for the National Guard.
