Pocket town?
...Damn!
Here is the problem with that in the real world..RESOURCES
Emphasis on school's
Before I started doing my thing with kids they had no idea they could go to a trade school or do an apprenticeship or work somewhere and make 80k that doesn't involve you getting into UC Berkeley and going into debt 100k IF your grades were good enough to be accepted.
OPTIONS
These kids only think they have a few options and give up
well im not good in school i can't play sports and i can't sing so i might as well sell drugs.
that's really what they've been conditioned to believe.

How can you compete with a classroom of kids whose parents can't or won't give a fuck???True, but they they gotta go outside.. You cant keep them indoors forever.. The problem is, you might be on top of taking care of your kids, but their friends parents might not give a shit. Thats where to confusion begins..
I'm done because you have an answer for everything and I don't feel like doing this right now
i don't know what the back and fourth is about but this quote by roderage is trueMost smart people have answers to questions, while dumb ones don't, its a pattern you will notice the older you get.
And you think job corps gonna work with gangbangin niggas who terrorize the community like this? Dudes who are willing to kill anybody in sight to justify their ignorance? Hell, you trying to come up with a solution to help they'll kill yo fuckin ass and throw a grenade inside your funeral too to kill your friends and loved ones. Shit is all around fucked up.Law enforcement won't work. Didn't work in the 80s, 90s, 00s, or now. We gonna be saying the same stuff in 2025 if the economics in these communities don't improve.
Here is the problem with that in the real world..
In most hoods (by hoods I am referring to typical high crime areas) there are usually 5% or less people responsible for the shit that goes down, the rest of them are reacting to the dust that the 5% are kicking up.
Now what you said is a good idea and can help most of the kids, but from my experience, those 5% are like predators and will wind up looking for ways to capitalize off it.. For example they are the type to break into rec centers or enroll into programs to recruit hookers or other gang members.. I seen it happen in NYC when there was a program here called the Door,
What winds up happening is, if left unchecked the 5% will cause the rest of the population to feel unsafe and vulnerable, and whats usually the case they will join a crew for protection that the flawed system is not able to provide..
In the 90's most of us stay strapped, not because we were killers or thugs, but because we was afraid of the 5% (we called them hard rocks back then) and before you knew it everyone had a gun trying to act hard so that the hard rocks would not prey on them.. The problem is that by acting hard others would think you was a hard rock and was quicker to shoot you out of fear.
In my 15 plus year working with the troubled youth, I think one thing is for certain any solution to help the masses, must include identifying and dealing with the 5% while preventing them from being born, being that most of them are raised in similar situation, single parent household, young mother, lots of siblings and a family that has a history of crime..
Because of this I and others are advocating that anyone under 26 must have a licence to have a child and in order to get one, both parents must attend some classes on proper parenting, saving, and simple logic. If anyone has a child with out a license their tubes should be tied while the father given a vasectomy.
Of course they will never do this, instead they will sit back crying how things need to change..
what man shoots a 2yr old?
I hate to say it but fuck it,I'm starting to not feel anything about the violence that we've become accustomed to and the victim's most times know better than to be riding around,standing in certain area's,being with certain people and just taking it as a fucking game where there is no positive ending at all.
Facebook live,Instagram live,youtube live,video's,live streaming isn't cool no more,we are watching people get murdered,hang themselves and the shit is sad and what's worse is that it's look at it as just entertainment.
Did she LEAVE the baby?????

Hell, you trying to come up with a solution to help they'll kill yo fuckin ass and throw a grenade inside your funeral too to kill your friends and loved ones. Shit is all around fucked up.

00:30-3:00 sums up how I feel exactly.
Nothing as a parent pisses me off more than a weak parent....
*two cents*
Just like u knw nothing about harvey worldYou know nothing about
You are 100 with that Bruh, because even as black leaders our whole blueprint to fight racism needs to be updated to meet today's challenges.There needs to be a paradigm shift!!!
Still working on it, an organization not controlled by the ones that have been molding us and programming us for generations. King had to be aware of some of the things I have been working on. He got in closed meetings and showed some of his co workers how certain books by whites for whites contradict. The things he discussed with them was the real seeds he was planting in the masses. It was like waking up parts of their minds that had went to sleep. We was actually trying to organize and work with each other. Out came the slogans peace,love, togetherness, soul power, etc. There are reasons why we stopped including killing the head and the body lost what it came into existence for. They had planned our destiny. Us coming together during the 60's changed that for a brief moment.Ok, we know what the problem is.. Whats the solution??
That locked up a brother that was able to change the direction of the black youth in Chicago. And they locked him up because they saw him being successful in doing it.Chicago really does need help now. Shit is really out of control
Politics is more crooked than street shit will ever be. Congressman Ryan was killed for getting in CIA business. The American government killed at least 3000 people on 911 after stealing trillions of dollars. They got the blessings to go and kill at least a million more and steal more money. If it was about street business then they got this type of caring on from their slave master, they just do not get rewarded like he do for their destructionthis is street shit. dude wasnt no saint.
WTF!!! Shes live on facebook, get shot at and she makes a mad dash. Leaves the kid, but remember to hold her phone?? Correct me if im wrong??
So they're trying to take the city down??That locked up a brother that was able to change the direction of the black youth in Chicago. And they locked him up because they saw him being successful in doing it.
When you say they, who are you referring to? But the brother I am talking about was beginning to be successful in getting gang members to do certain things. They had opened up some kind of true light center and they took in donations and gave away free sacks of groceries to the black community. Then he had his right hand man run for alderman and he won. While preparing him for his next career move he took his followers down town to register them to vote. And that was when they moved in quickly to get him and his influence off of the streets.So they're trying to take the city down??

Usually when people feel they have a stake in something they try to protect it instead of destroy it. With those young gang members accomplishing things they only saw whites with totally different life styles them accomplishing. They did not even think about those things at first. In fact it was like they was about to start showing the whites we run this and we do it better.
I myself know that we will never get anywhere without total separation from whites. But I admired what this dude was doing because he was into what those black youths were into. They were the kind that was not into black leadership in certain directions at first.
If being in a gang carried a mandatory 10 year sentence this shit would stop. Period.
Oh ok yes because the young members were responding and it was changing their directions and destiny. They got him in some kind of super max now with illegal charges. His right hand man is trying to keep moving forward but the youth are not responding to him the way they had did with Larry Hoover. He did a better job of reaching the hard headed ones."They" would be, whoever locked him up, to keep him from trying to help the people.
Im with you, bro.. i went thru a trade school and apprenticeship program. And i pulled in 110k a yr and couldve made more if i worked all the OT.. How do you expose the trades to these young kats?? Its like there hiding the trades from these kids..
Thank you for trying to make a difference in our people lives and be careful but be sure to take care of yourself as well.Oh ok yes because the young members were responding and it was changing their directions and destiny.

Me myself I do not expect much changes in what I am doing until it gets to a certain point. It is impossible for me to protect blacks from the devil if I cannot protect myself from these white devils. But I know sooner or later the energy is going to shine thru, the energy that they do not have any control over. There is only a very few black males that disobey some things that white males say without being made an example. We had a black mayor that stood up for the citizens of Birmingham and they publicly lynched him in front of everybody. They do not want to see another Mayor like Mayor Barry ever again. The second time he made mayor he had changed his life and became a black activist. There were quite a few blacks that became millionaires because of him. Blacks that had no idea that could have what they have now but he did it by contracts. He would ask you if you had such and such business and if you said no he would tell you go and start the business and I got a contract here for you. The people that he gave the contracts did the job and there was nothing wrong about what he did. But the whites do the same for whites that are into white supremacy and they do not do the job correctly and some even misuse the job.
Harold Washington the first black mayor of Chicago is another. They do not ever want to see another black mayor like him. Some beleive that he did not really die of natural causes they believe they quietly got rid of him like they did Elijah Muhammad.
What trade are you in?
ive realized that he's the only person here (besides me) who knows what's really going on out there.i don't know what the back and fourth is about but this quote by roderage is true
You are 100 with that Bruh, because even as black leaders our whole blueprint to fight racism needs to be updated to meet today's challenges.
For example, back in the days it was a numbers games, I remember my father and his generation who was a very active in the civil rights used to preach numbers and how we will gain political power and strength once the people of color outnumber the whites..
Even today it a bullet point of interest in most black leaders agenda.. This is why many pro blacks, even those on BGOL, cringe when I talk about things like birth license, mainly due to their fear of losing numbers to the whites..
But what they fail to understand numbers doesn't always translate to power, especially when the number are being born to single parent families that is leading to high rates of criminal activity, incarceration and early death.
What I am proposing is a shift towards increasing quality, so instead of promoting failure we should reward success, meaning young black couples should be given tax breaks, home loans and other perks to help them get off their feet while the single parents who are having children they cannot afford or properly care for should not be rewarded.
Once we get back strong black families, we will develop strong black communities that will eventually lead to a strong black nation..
On the contrary, if black families become dependent on the goverment for food and shelter, we will always be dependent on the white man, and as long as that happens we will never be independent as a people..
