Most of these crime infested cities are beautiful and decent places to live in when you’re not living in poverty. I went to Baltimore a few months ago and it looked like a 3rd world country until I crossed over to the downtown area. The crime in these cities mostly only affects the people that it’s been intended to affect.
I mean when black people get money, they go live around white people so he's not lying LOL. Area be so nice you see white people outside walking their dog at 2am and jogging.
Charleston must be trippin. Chicago is a lot of things ( corrupt and certain neighborhoods dangerous, let’s not sugarcoat)but what we definitely do have is Food, Fashion, beautiful women, and many things to do. Truly world class museums and attractions. It’s a shame how many people view the city through the lens Durk and Keef and not Korprate or Chance or Lupe. When I was growing up, a lot of black kids had never even been downtown.
As a person who admires Chicago I agree. Keep and Durk are real bruises to that city. I went and so many people told me in order to be in the “bad part” of the city I had to go out of my way to be in that area. Naval Pier, Museums, Downtown, the Burbs, Wrigleyville, etc. Chicago really is a great city, in my opinion better than NY because it’s clean.
I’ve been to Chicago. You literally have to travel like 20-25 minutes on the highway south of downtown before you’re on the part of the highway that’s like 15-20 minutes from the “bad stuff.” Chicago is actually a great city, the gang violence actually gives Chicago a bad rep.
@@henryking1324 I’m from Jacksonville, Florida. It’s just as bad, and most of the stuff doesn’t get reported. I’m not saying this to flex our murder rate or anything benign like that. What I’m saying is we have less people and equal crime. By numbers alone that makes Chicago a better place. Chicago honestly isn’t a bad place.
Exactly I stay in Atlanta and went up to Chicago in 2020 in the winter and loved it. The hood stuff is one small part of Chicago kinda like Atlanta has so much more to offer than trappin and skrip clubs

I’m from (and currently still live in) Chicago. I know he’s just talking crazy for the camera but…he’s kinda right. Chicago’s “ greatness” is really set up for whites. Most of the better stuff is located in areas where white people willingly congregate, there’s really nothing to see outside of the downtown/northside vicinity. Also it’s probably the most segregated city in the USA. Chicagoans who never been outside of Chicago don’t realize how big and diverse the world really is. It’s a big city with a small town mentality. He’s kinda wrong about the girls though, Lisaraye is from here and there’s a few more like her here. 😂
I’m with you when you’re right, but saying it’s nothing to see outside of downtown or the north side is cap, north side got a hood too also mostly for the gays but it’s defiant something to do on everyday side when you don’t Gangbang or not scared to leave your neighborhood on that weird shit. My project ass mama sent me to a mixed high school because I was doing too much on the fighting side in my land after my pops got killed, that helped. Your parent has to give af when you from here, she never confined me to our block or taught me to be disrespectful, anything bad I did on my own with my so called friends. It’s our culture but my mind never made me feel like I couldn’t go over east and shop in the black district with all those black businesses, go all the way south to try a restaurant, go skating up north every weekend at rainbow when it was open, or to dance outside at a free concert out west where I’m from. Some of y’all put y’all self in a box when it’s plenty of black successful people here that use to be in the streets breathing. The how the 90s and 00s babies move don’t even dictate most of the city. Mfs learning to stay away from them but the elders and the younger generations after them that have way more opportunities then we did are fucking Starbucks kids taking advanced placement classes getting colleges credits in high school because most of the bad schools are good af now smh
@@taiwest9134 North side isn’t mostly for no gays, that’s one small area on the north side. The rest is hood as well but more racially/ethnically diverse hood. The gay north side thing is an untrue stereotype. They say the South shore area is the gay area on the south side. I’m a graffiti writer and I’m from the Altgeld Gardens, wild hundreds, there’s not a hood or area here I haven’t been in at some point. I traveled the entire city over the years and like I said: Ain’t much for a tourist to see here outside of downtown and certain parts up north. What is an out of towner coming to Chicago to see out south besides maybe Hyde Park? Or the Museum of science and industry? What, 79th street? Englewood? The West side? 😏 Some of the good restaurants are in areas that some people are scared to go. Nah it’s not as bad as the media paints it but still…🤷🏽♂️
@@Docmananoff so umm let me treat yo goofy ass real quick. respectfully no one asked what projects you’re from and wtf you do for a living, i love my city but southsiders kill me with that shit, you’re not the only one from a bad neighborhood y’all just let that gangbangin shit get the best of y’all even when most of the city stopped that bs and start operating on principal and by money only. I’m grew up mostly in the Austin area. Y’all not enjoying your youth that way, doesn’t mean everyone else from other trenches elsewhere did not. Thats personal because that’s y’all own little culture that way, every side has their own culture period, it does not speak for the whole city like these lil boys rappin. Shit don’t shake like that out west or up north, that’s not even shade to my family from or still living out south either just you. none of what you said has anything to do with the topic other than it being a closed minded opinion of shit to do here, but open to the north side not being gay. I can’t speak for over east being as gay these days but I live north so save your own perspective when I see the shit everyday. you may be writing about this shit but for those that lived it and still have had a ball out here know you’re speaking for yourself only on the fun side of this shit too frfr. Maybe yo ass didn’t leave your buildings when you were younger and don’t explore outside of where you live unless it’s for work now but that’s not the average west siders mentality. Our saying is a west sider will party anywhere and it is valid af. I’m a west sider that had no problem going wherever I wanted, snd have lived outside of this city several times, literally half my life down south too, not too many places with more to do than us or with things to see so stop trying to make our city look tougher than what it is because there is plenty to do on every side and you too old for that. Even oblock was once a decent area. Shits embarrassing, if it was nothing for you to do outside of your hood, the reality is you didn’t go outside of that mf during your clubbing years was locked up or was a homebody to begin with probably in fear of your surroundings. Not the rest of the city that was mingling and turned tf up, we sure were not. My family’s from the village, my mothers baby brothers literally stood right and left of boonie black as new breeds and before they did time they still showed me how to catch the bus or cab to leave my environment to have fun. They were never ones to just sit in them buildings all day. My mother made sure I wasn’t a product of this shit, we were never restricted to an area, I went to school right in the middle of Rockwell gardens when it was a war zone once my family started leaving the village to live further west. my father and grandfather were original starting members of 4ch when it was still 4vl however that don’t mean shit in the real world or with the reality of the subject. Just shedding some light on how you can save that we extra savage and ghetto bs for these people in these comments. We traveled did all kind of shit even before my father was killed when I was younger, shit my grandfather passed from cancer just last year, and I’m damn near 40. he went wherever he wanted to fucking go until he died and people knew who he was. By the way I live north now, growing up I came up north every weekend too to spend time with relatives and go to skate at rainbow, I had a very gay uncle living there as well lol. I know all three worlds whether gay up north, a disciple, or riding under the fin and none of my close loved ones where block bodies only that shit is lame. Those are the niggas who rather die on the block and never get a chance to go downtown living here their whole fucking life. However most of this city not like that, it may have taken you to get a job to see the city but not my generation. the north side to the north suburbs has more gays than I ever seen in my life, and that’s no shade to them because it’s better schools this side of town and it’s nice however this shit is there neck of the woods regardless of whatever stereotypes you’re trying to defend. Every side has a hood, that’s a no fucking brainer, this city too big for that but just because you’re gay that doesn’t make you less hood so that’s idiotic and stereotypical itself. this shit is a safe place for gays period, I have too many gay friends that I grew up with that moved this way before me long ago, an uncle that put me on to the vogue and drag life this way, and I can open my door to see it so spare me. Speak to somebody else not from here, who never left their own hood, who don’t live north, and who gives af about your job or being from those projects you speak of. My husbands from out south he’s younger than me and his generation way worse than yours that way lol. I seen one of my closest friends get shot in the head in school from a mistake one of the GD snipers made off the top of a Rockwell building at 7, and the police killed him in front of us in the back of the school in addition to my grandma being retired as a housing janitor until CHA bought down most of our projects. I done help more grandma work all in projects throughout this city and it’s still a big beautiful city with a lot of shit to do. I know my city and we was always outside, you wasn’t because that’s your side of towns mentality for the most part. It shouldn’t take a mf to 50 to stop gangbangin and grow tf up. This why westsiders be in south side parties leaving safely while south side people be in there shooting each other tf up, we didn’t even keep up with y’all beef until these shorties started rappin about it, we was about fun whether you like it or not. Anybody wining about it not being shit to do or see parents failed them in a city so damn big with all these white tourists coming here for all these damn festivals and shit every year. Our city thrives off of tourism for vintage structures alone with roof tops parties on all sides but nothing to see but downtown and up north? The fucking United center is Where? Where is the bears stadiums? Where are most of the concerts? Most of those places are west by the medical district correct accept the football stadium. You fucking tweaking. You just don’t do shit and must live up north by me in denial about your neighbors lol
I'm born and raised in Chicago (Not Chiraq) and for my job, I travel all over the country and the world. Chicago definitely is the best city in the US... but I will have to give Copenhagen and Amsterdam a nod over Chicago as best cities in the world.
A few cities in Canada is up there. Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal. There’s a good amount of cities in the world better than the any in US when it comes to living normally, not just entertainment & money
I’m from Louisiana I visited Chicago for my birthday I stayed in downtown Chicago but it’s a beautiful city and the people we met were nice despite the negativity that Chicago gets
Chicago is really an amazing city. I understand why the rappers never want to leave. The food, the scenery, it’s clean, professional opportunities, cost of living, sports, and activities are great. Plus it’s not a small city which is a plus.
@@shakeemrobinson30 what? chicago is huge landwise, the lakefront alone stretches 43 miles and that is just the eastern edge of the city, you either smokin something or never been to chicago LOL
@@shakeemrobinson30 city sizes are not measered by land area, if they were jacksonville fla, would be the largest when over 60% of the actual land area in jacksonville is actually water, and chicago is 228 sq miles thats huge and even bigger when the whole city is connected by brick, cement and steel not lakes, swamps and forests
@@eddiewilson3724 wrong! cities are measured in population and land area, Chicago is top 3 "population" wise but land area not even top 10, Jacksonville is #6
If you live in a city with professional sports teams and big colleges, there are more decent areas than bad. I don’t care what city you bring up. People just focus on the negative. What do you expect to see when you in the hood? The hood is the same everywhere. Get your money up and move to a better part of town. Your whole perspective will change. I live in Atlanta and everybody will tell you there’s a HUGE difference between the areas north of I20 vs south of I20. 🤷🏽♂️
False bro Some of these citys are dangerous all over except downtown like Baltimore is dangerous almost all over even downtown from a certian extent u just indenial want life to be flowers and rainbows
If niggas live there ..... never relax idgaf where you stay .... if it's more than 10% of a Nigga population in your area you need to consider moving 💀💀
That's what I've been saying, away from poverty areas and hoods it's the best . I have yet to meet any civilized person not connected to the streets or hood mentality that's trying to leave . They love it .Chicago is 3rd largest city in America, 10s of thousands moving there regularly
Can’t front, my wife and I went to Chicago right before the pandemic. We had a blast! We stayed away from niggas though. We got enough here in ATL. We were around some cool as black folk though. The city is beautiful…science museum, downtown, Chinatown, zoo, pier, Sox area, food (Harold’s, Giordono’s Pizza, Three Dots and a Dash, Batter & Berries, Abundance Bakery, Gilt Bar and etc.), underground magic show, blues/jazz bars, can’t wait to go back. Plus my buddy and my family are from Chicago and told us where to avoid. Definitely one of the best cities outside of my hometown that I’ve visited.
I’m from the south. But Bruh i lived in Chicago that place Is beautiful & diverse & a vibe . It’s a small section of that place that’s a warzone but that’s the 3rd biggest city in the country it’s a huge dope place
Atlanta is the best city for black people black businesses black business ownership etc. And if your a heterosexual male like myself, there's women galore!. But salute to the "Chi" for making the list as 2nd best city in the world, well deserved 💪💯
Charleston only looking at it through a glass lens or shall I say his 1 eye. Everything ain’t about rap music and gangs. The world is way bigger than that community. Chicago is a beautiful city. It’s a small area/radius that is terrible. Charleston there are black folks that live good in Chicago. It’s also the most segregated place. The food is A1 and they got plenty light skin pretty girls. Charleston you just said you never been. Obviously you never messed or ran into with a pretty girl from Chicago either. They got them!!
@@tcorben60 Not all over the city tho. Only in a concentrated area. You do know Chicago is the 3rd largest city in N. America! Its HUGE..By tha way Im from Atl not Chicago but travel to work there ALL the time. Never once experience the violence because i didnt have to go to those areas. Plenty of space to live good and eat good and socialize
O please Trump will say anything, punchline for political purposes. Many ppl on the right have said that its not like Trump sits around concerned about what some hoodlums is doing in the Southside of Chicago when it dont even affect white folks
Chicago is an amazing city and I'm glad you spoke on it Shawn. Charleston just running his mouth not knowing what he talking about. The food is good, the women are beautiful, the skyline is nice especially at night. The festivals be lit af cuz we are music lovers and we actually have a lot of talented people from here in many fields such as comedy, music, acting etc. It's a hood everywhere in America but if you look outside of that and enjoy the elements you'll love it fam. I love my city
Been to Chicago bout 5 times.....hands down the most beautiful city in America!! Plenty to do, skyline stretch for miles.....total disparity from the areas the rappers talk about.
Mr White I'll have to disagree with you for maybe the first time ever as a Detroit native, Chicago is a beautiful city and they do have a few BBQ restaurants one of them being Weber grills and the women there are fu@#n incredible
Nah I agree..Chicago is one of my favorite cities...it's beautiful all around. Beach wraps around the city, the food is Bomb, the women is bad..I mean it's definitely my top 3 in the country and I've been pretty much everywhere
C dubb.. I had to get off the train when you said it wasn't no pretty girls in the Chi... I just met one not too long ago off in Nap town.. oh and just to leave a reference.. Lisa Raye 💯
BS...Chicago has some of the baddest Redbones on earth and all other shades too. And known for its restaurants INCLUDING BBQ. I know because I have a lot of family there and I traveled there often. I grew up 4 hrs from Chicago & its much more than shootings. And I live in Dallas/ Ft.Worth RIGHT NOW and you can't compare FW to Chicago on any level. I love it here but it's not nearly as fast here as Chicago & to honest, FW ain't no more safe than Chicago depending on where you are in BOTH cities.
It’s some good BBQ here 💯 Sams on Granville. Chicago is a Beautiful dangerous city full of Love and Hate. It’s all about how you move out here. Chess not Checkers 🙏🌎☮️💚
i love charelston white but he doesn't know wtf he's talking about right here. he(like many others the last 7-8 years, since drill blew up) is viewing chicago through the lense of n**ga hiphop ish. this city has THE BEST (yes better than NY, SAN FRAN), restaraunts, the best downtown, the best parks, the best homes(over east between 71st & 67th the area im from, from stoney to jeffrey is some of the most beatiful homes, mansions even right smack in the hood). from march to dec, theres literally something to do or a festival one can go to everyday! even o-block has beatiful washington park(were i played pop warner football and were anthony davis attended his school-Dyett) scenery were you can fish. probably the BEST museums in the WORLD(thats not a overstatement). when a new yorker comes to chicago, the FIRST thing they say is how clean it is compared to them(yes they do, dont get online and say ya'll dont).
@@Stonecoldalston grant atchatz's Alinea, the late charlie trotter, rick bayless (the famous skip bayless sports personailty brother) has several restaurants here, and several other TOP chefs in the world have honed their skills HERE, not NY. NY was the hot spot in the 80's/90's for food but chicago started to take the reign in the 2000's. Ive been a manager at several restaurant venues downtown here.
Baltimore is by far the scariest city, I had a nigga TELL me he was gonna watch my car for me while I went in the stripclub, then when I came out he said, "thata be 20 dollars my good brutha"
Crazy thing is I moved to Texas and they bbq us unseasoned 🤣🤣🤣 lol brisket and pulled pork are two of the lost flavorless things I ever had I’ll take Kenny’s ribs over this bs 😩

Most of these crime infested cities are beautiful and decent places to live in when you’re not living in poverty. I went to Baltimore a few months ago and it looked like a 3rd world country until I crossed over to the downtown area. The crime in these cities mostly only affects the people that it’s been intended to affect.
Check the crime and murder rate in Chicago. Not even top 10 in city or state. Y’all watch to many FakeNews media outlets
Right like New Orleans, most the people are cool AF, excellent food and entertainment.... but you can get murked in a heartbeat fucking around.

Facts, but y’all got Harold’s. I was talking to this young cat from the Chi and he said the LA Harold’s is trash 😭 I gotta see.
@@Damari90 Harold’s in LA??? Damn! 😂😂
I’m with you when you’re right, but saying it’s nothing to see outside of downtown or the north side is cap, north side got a hood too also mostly for the gays but it’s defiant something to do on everyday side when you don’t Gangbang or not scared to leave your neighborhood on that weird shit. My project ass mama sent me to a mixed high school because I was doing too much on the fighting side in my land after my pops got killed, that helped. Your parent has to give af when you from here, she never confined me to our block or taught me to be disrespectful, anything bad I did on my own with my so called friends. It’s our culture but my mind never made me feel like I couldn’t go over east and shop in the black district with all those black businesses, go all the way south to try a restaurant, go skating up north every weekend at rainbow when it was open, or to dance outside at a free concert out west where I’m from. Some of y’all put y’all self in a box when it’s plenty of black successful people here that use to be in the streets breathing. The how the 90s and 00s babies move don’t even dictate most of the city. Mfs learning to stay away from them but the elders and the younger generations after them that have way more opportunities then we did are fucking Starbucks kids taking advanced placement classes getting colleges credits in high school because most of the bad schools are good af now smh
@@taiwest9134 North side isn’t mostly for no gays, that’s one small area on the north side. The rest is hood as well but more racially/ethnically diverse hood. The gay north side thing is an untrue stereotype. They say the South shore area is the gay area on the south side. I’m a graffiti writer and I’m from the Altgeld Gardens, wild hundreds, there’s not a hood or area here I haven’t been in at some point. I traveled the entire city over the years and like I said: Ain’t much for a tourist to see here outside of downtown and certain parts up north.
What is an out of towner coming to Chicago to see out south besides maybe Hyde Park? Or the Museum of science and industry?
What, 79th street? Englewood? The West side? 😏
Some of the good restaurants are in areas that some people are scared to go. Nah it’s not as bad as the media paints it but still…🤷🏽♂️
@@Docmananoff so umm let me treat yo goofy ass real quick. respectfully no one asked what projects you’re from and wtf you do for a living, i love my city but southsiders kill me with that shit, you’re not the only one from a bad neighborhood y’all just let that gangbangin shit get the best of y’all even when most of the city stopped that bs and start operating on principal and by money only. I’m grew up mostly in the Austin area. Y’all not enjoying your youth that way, doesn’t mean everyone else from other trenches elsewhere did not. Thats personal because that’s y’all own little culture that way, every side has their own culture period, it does not speak for the whole city like these lil boys rappin. Shit don’t shake like that out west or up north, that’s not even shade to my family from or still living out south either just you. none of what you said has anything to do with the topic other than it being a closed minded opinion of shit to do here, but open to the north side not being gay. I can’t speak for over east being as gay these days but I live north so save your own perspective when I see the shit everyday. you may be writing about this shit but for those that lived it and still have had a ball out here know you’re speaking for yourself only on the fun side of this shit too frfr. Maybe yo ass didn’t leave your buildings when you were younger and don’t explore outside of where you live unless it’s for work now but that’s not the average west siders mentality. Our saying is a west sider will party anywhere and it is valid af. I’m a west sider that had no problem going wherever I wanted, snd have lived outside of this city several times, literally half my life down south too, not too many places with more to do than us or with things to see so stop trying to make our city look tougher than what it is because there is plenty to do on every side and you too old for that. Even oblock was once a decent area. Shits embarrassing, if it was nothing for you to do outside of your hood, the reality is you didn’t go outside of that mf during your clubbing years was locked up or was a homebody to begin with probably in fear of your surroundings. Not the rest of the city that was mingling and turned tf up, we sure were not. My family’s from the village, my mothers baby brothers literally stood right and left of boonie black as new breeds and before they did time they still showed me how to catch the bus or cab to leave my environment to have fun. They were never ones to just sit in them buildings all day. My mother made sure I wasn’t a product of this shit, we were never restricted to an area, I went to school right in the middle of Rockwell gardens when it was a war zone once my family started leaving the village to live further west. my father and grandfather were original starting members of 4ch when it was still 4vl however that don’t mean shit in the real world or with the reality of the subject. Just shedding some light on how you can save that we extra savage and ghetto bs for these people in these comments. We traveled did all kind of shit even before my father was killed when I was younger, shit my grandfather passed from cancer just last year, and I’m damn near 40. he went wherever he wanted to fucking go until he died and people knew who he was. By the way I live north now, growing up I came up north every weekend too to spend time with relatives and go to skate at rainbow, I had a very gay uncle living there as well lol. I know all three worlds whether gay up north, a disciple, or riding under the fin and none of my close loved ones where block bodies only that shit is lame. Those are the niggas who rather die on the block and never get a chance to go downtown living here their whole fucking life. However most of this city not like that, it may have taken you to get a job to see the city but not my generation. the north side to the north suburbs has more gays than I ever seen in my life, and that’s no shade to them because it’s better schools this side of town and it’s nice however this shit is there neck of the woods regardless of whatever stereotypes you’re trying to defend. Every side has a hood, that’s a no fucking brainer, this city too big for that but just because you’re gay that doesn’t make you less hood so that’s idiotic and stereotypical itself. this shit is a safe place for gays period, I have too many gay friends that I grew up with that moved this way before me long ago, an uncle that put me on to the vogue and drag life this way, and I can open my door to see it so spare me. Speak to somebody else not from here, who never left their own hood, who don’t live north, and who gives af about your job or being from those projects you speak of. My husbands from out south he’s younger than me and his generation way worse than yours that way lol. I seen one of my closest friends get shot in the head in school from a mistake one of the GD snipers made off the top of a Rockwell building at 7, and the police killed him in front of us in the back of the school in addition to my grandma being retired as a housing janitor until CHA bought down most of our projects. I done help more grandma work all in projects throughout this city and it’s still a big beautiful city with a lot of shit to do. I know my city and we was always outside, you wasn’t because that’s your side of towns mentality for the most part. It shouldn’t take a mf to 50 to stop gangbangin and grow tf up. This why westsiders be in south side parties leaving safely while south side people be in there shooting each other tf up, we didn’t even keep up with y’all beef until these shorties started rappin about it, we was about fun whether you like it or not. Anybody wining about it not being shit to do or see parents failed them in a city so damn big with all these white tourists coming here for all these damn festivals and shit every year. Our city thrives off of tourism for vintage structures alone with roof tops parties on all sides but nothing to see but downtown and up north? The fucking United center is Where? Where is the bears stadiums? Where are most of the concerts? Most of those places are west by the medical district correct accept the football stadium. You fucking tweaking. You just don’t do shit and must live up north by me in denial about your neighbors lol
thank you Sean

Chicago is really an amazing city. I understand why the rappers never want to leave. The food, the scenery, it’s clean, professional opportunities, cost of living, sports, and activities are great. Plus it’s not a small city which is a plus.

Chicago a beautiful city, outside of the hood I agree
He clearly says he’s never been to Chicago. He’s just making assumptions and generalizations.
If you live in a city with professional sports teams and big colleges, there are more decent areas than bad. I don’t care what city you bring up. People just focus on the negative. What do you expect to see when you in the hood? The hood is the same everywhere. Get your money up and move to a better part of town. Your whole perspective will change.

Can’t front, my wife and I went to Chicago right before the pandemic. We had a blast! We stayed away from niggas though. We got enough here in ATL. We were around some cool as black folk though. The city is beautiful…science museum, downtown, Chinatown, zoo, pier, Sox area, food (Harold’s, Giordono’s Pizza, Three Dots and a Dash, Batter & Berries, Abundance Bakery, Gilt Bar and etc.), underground magic show, blues/jazz bars, can’t wait to go back.
Plus my buddy and my family are from Chicago and told us where to avoid.
Definitely one of the best cities outside of my hometown that I’ve visited.
Chicago has the dopest skyline in the country and We have the best food in the country.

Charleston only looking at it through a glass lens or shall I say his 1 eye. Everything ain’t about rap music and gangs. The world is way bigger than that community. Chicago is a beautiful city. It’s a small area/radius that is terrible. Charleston there are black folks that live good in Chicago. It’s also the most segregated place. The food is A1 and they got plenty light skin pretty girls. Charleston you just said you never been. Obviously you never messed or ran into with a pretty girl from Chicago either. They got them!!
Yeah y'all also got 100 shootings every weekend.
@@tcorben60 that's divided into 4 neighborhoods. Chicago has 100s of neighborhoods that are safe.

None of these cities will be good cities until the downtrodden can enjoy the same safety as the privileged.
