Listen to me my BGOL family, today in my city where I live [Bham UK] an '18 year young' black brother, a child about to be a man,
was shot dead, middle of the fucking cold day, middle of the fucking cold street. I saw a picture of him from some time back, smiling, happy full of life, full of possibilities and man....

..I'm tearful right now writing this shit cos I think it had it all bottled up all day
since reading the report this morning, cos I'm so scared for our youth, our black youth especially, our fuckin kids, cos we're all
their parents, or at least we used to be, I know we love them but why the fuck don't they love themselves and each other?
This video, this thread has taken the lid off my pent up frustration today, I apologise fam, if im rambling. It just got to me right now.
he's sadly about the 4th young brother shot and killed here in a few months.

[DaAssWatcher]

I thought it was gonna be something else but the message was strong.
African American teens need to see how bad the struggle is for Black folks in developing nations.

Dude ain't got shit to offer them but some words.

 

[mangobob79]

You still see niggas in the crowd still smirkin. Fucking pathetic.

That's that thing we all know too well, and it's part of what makes that part of the inner city youth culture painful to accept sometimes, it's that empty pride based on FEAR of Looking LACKING, it's the same thing that makes a lot of our youth too prideful to say they need help when they do. ...it's always sad when I see those instances, like we are all fucked up in the game out here, ur moms & pops just like mine ,ain't nobody balling, so why all the fronting ?
it's the same thing that'll make a kid from the hood with no real job or income want a $300 pair of shoes, it's deep on many levels i tell ya

 

[Mask]

Never saw this one...


I fucks with ET...

Moving ----->

And their favourite rapper has what to offer?

 

[Joe Money]

And their favourite rapper has what to offer?

Their favorite rapper ain't claiming to be anything else to them but an entertainer. But, generally speaking, I can't stand motivational speakers and "life coaches" anyway. Like preachers, they're in the business of selling "hope."

I understand what you saying but sometimes, you gotta have someone give you a swift kick in the ass or say something to wake you up. I guarantee he got through to at least ONE of them kids in there and they will always remember him coming to speak to them. And if he's able to change at least one of them from going down the wrong path, then it's worth it.

Many ways to find motivation. And communicating & socializing are at the top of the list that will spark someone to move foward with the very difficult task of setting goals.

Those kids are coming from a negative environment. And most will not have the strength to overcome that negativity. The percentages don't lie. ET is there to positively reinforce the few that will get past that environment. And just as he stated , those few will rarely come back.

BECAUSE ITS A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT & people will say " it's nothing but words" . Books are nothing but words too. But they can actually change your life.

Listen to the man, before judging the man.

He said what the said.

I do not approve of the white people comparison .

He said what he said.

The problem is racism/white supremacy!

Man, I feel like that too much when I'm travelling through the city. I see too many of my brothers acting a fool over some trivial shit. The amount of fatal stabbings that have already taking place since January just hurts my heart.

I could've easily been another statistic when I was their age. I'm just glad I had the right support system around me to be where I am today.

I really would like to do more mentoring in the future like I used to. I've felt the same frustrations this guy had. There's too many of our young people that have given up and they use ignorance as a defence mechanism. It feels impossible to get them to see they're throwing their lives away.

Saw that in the news today. These children don't even get a chance to enjoy adulthood. It's crazy. I wish I knew what to do but it feels futile at times.

There's no one concrete reason for it, but the home dynamics are usually a good start. If it's not strong at home, what chance do our kids have in these streets? Keeping up with the joneses, the chase for wealth and fame, music, drugs, sex and violence.. All potential predators that can get any youth mobbed up with the wrong crowd and even then if we can mop those issues up, there's the real world scenarios of racism and social construct that's another battle entirely. It takes a lot being a parent but that's the point. We gotta be around.

Weve got to show kids that there's more to life than Jordan's and stunting 24-7. Set them up properly from youth into adulthood and we give them a fighting chance to make it out.

Our kids could be so much more than just athletes and entertainers but we have to breed them to be such and that starts at home.

Inspectah Deck summed it up well

It's been twenty-two long hard years of still strugglin
Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival
I peep at the shape of the streets
And stay awake to the ways of the world cause shit is deep
A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M.
Which failed I went to jail at the age of 15
A young buck sellin' drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not, could not,
The court played me short, now I face incarceration
Pacin' going up state's my destination
Handcuffed in back of a bus, forty of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so ruff
But as the world turns I learned life is hell
Living in the world no different from a cell
Everyday I escape from Jakes givin' chase, sellin' base
Smokin' bones in the staircase
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth?
Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
To learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks
And stray shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
To kick the truth to the young black youth
But shorty's running wild smokin sess drinkin' beer
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear
Neglected, but now, but yo, it gots to be accepted
That what? That life is hectic

Ten was in Uk for 10 years and after 9/ 11 and July 11 and the Tories coming into power , I knew UK was done for .

Condolences brother . That country was beautiful and I used to love hanging with brothers from the islands , Africa , Wolverhampton , London . Birmingham . I m there next week , but that country is now strange to me .

The aggression is in the air , u can feel it .
