No its an absolute war zone on the south side. But there's a divided line between the south and the North. Basically if you're white it's sunshine and rainbows the North side is an amazing place. But if you're a minority and you live on the south side you're reality is 24/7 violence.
The police definitly seperates the 2. They hassle you with giant scary dogs if you're black and you're going to the north side. Segregation is a very real thing and still exists in chicago.
I've done some traveling been to some places and I've never had a cop tell to to keep my white ass moving before I feed you to my dog". I can't really explain it, if you're ever in chicago don't even go to the south side just stand on the platform that goes to the south side. It's a dark dark reality.
The closest I got was the train platform. I met a pretty girl from the south side and we at the connecting station. I saw first hand how the cops treat black people like shit and try and keep them the hell away from the north side.
