Our Youth live day by day with death lurking around every corner so they fight to survive.

The term "Chiraq" has been casually tossed around in recent years. We don't know the origin, but we know Urban Dictionary's definition was written in February 2012. Of course it references Chicago's violence epidemic, dubbing it a war zone similar to that of Iraq. The parallels are undeniable, but the term makes us queasy. Does it downplay the wars overseas? Is it just attaching a negative stigma to Chicago?

The HBO show VICE aired an episode on Friday of its documentary series titled "Chiraq" that explores street violence in Chicago. VICE writes:

The lethal combination of gangs and guns has turned Chicago into a war zone. To see why the Windy City, now dubbed "Chiraq," had the country’s highest homicide rate in 2012, VICE visits Chicago's most dangerous areas, where handguns are plentiful and the police and community leaders are fighting are fighting a losing battle against gang violence.

word to describe chicago because of its violent history and crime rates one of americas mos dangerous cities

Drillinois = Drill + Illinois. Drill is the rap scene in Chicago that dudes like Lil Durk and Chief Keef are in.

RATING

Chiraq = Chicago + Iraq. Chicago streets are like a war ground. “314 soldiers died in Iraq; 509 died in Chicago” (Kanye West on “Murder to Excellence”)
