Derrion Albert 16 teen year old beaten to death in chicago sep 27 2009

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@crown0child when in the video did i say that all black ppl act like that? but i am retarted so i dont know

[Crown0child]

Stop generalizing blacks.You're just plain retarded. In your video you didn't even really make a complete thought,and I loved when said stop acting like Monkeys. First, not all young black people act like this.Once again you generalized. All races have bad seeds.Doesn't matter where you live in this country every "race"/all people have problems. And personally you make me sick,"I'm glad it was a honor student" It was a human being that died!! Not an inanimate object..He'll never be replaced.

[DarkspineTails]

Person under me needs more English and grammar lessons. And I'm 17 and black just sayin'.

[165108LUV]

Man if from da city so wen i seen dis video da first thing i noticed was he ran itno the fight.....nd i questioned myself..........no matta wat da reason was he did sumthin to have everybody come towards him and only kill him. dis shit sad but dis is a day in da life of a black man in chicago

[lakechaney]

Maybe you blacks should let your black rappers respond to your crimes, and leave the rest of us hard working Americans alone. Us hard working Americans contribute to society while you blacks rob society.

[JSplitta213]

Granted what was done to this kid was terrible. Also people have to look at where this kid is raised. His environment is completely unstable. I will have to agree with StephanieCoreyTV with what she said as parents of these young children dont know any better and let the outside world shape them. that is sooooo true to an extent. but there is a lot of good out there it is what you teach to your kid and the values that u put in them. Not one person can raise a child it truly is a community.

[ekamau20]

poor beasts, they know not what they do.

[toofly323]

im tired of black people being more upset because its black on black crime or violence. does it make a difference? a young intelligent man lost his life for no reason.

[TheJackie1364]

stop the violence we are brothers and sisters and this is what they expect from us as a people! Guilty is right! Kids can't be kids. It hurts me. it hurts you. It hurts us as a people we are one. But it start with the man in the mirror. Stoppppppppp! Think! Stop Drugs and violence against one another you be having trouble at home but it does not give you the right to take this beautiful childs life! ONE LOVE! I AM HURT AND SADDEN!

[fjfljlsfj]

Why can't all of us blacks stop the violence and get along yall. Why is this shit fuckin happening im gonna start protecting myself and my family for real just why it has to be like this RIP Derrion Albert we miss you dawg

[StephanieCoreyTV]

go check out my other video clearing up somethings

[GTnumber1]

@StephanieCoreyTV You're right..The hip hop industry doesn't play a big part in ghetto violence, but the Rap industry certainly does..70% of rap lyrics focuses on deadly revenge and putting up a deadly fight to stand on your own to make it in life..There are hardly any rappers out there that tell people to stay away from trouble and confrontations. From the words of the late, Greatest entertainer/humanitarian..Mich­ael Jackson.."Just beat it".

[Clemsonshawty]

I'm no one's savage. I'm a highly educated black man. I am a graduate of Clemson University and have a MBA. But let me correct you, because the media only seems to portray black crimes. Lets not talk about how the whites committ "white collar crimes" and think they are better? Extortion, bribery, etc...and then lets not forget the heinous crimes they commit, Adolf Hitler, Jeffrey Daumer, etc. So just because the media seems to magnify black crime and not white, doesn't mean that whites dont do

[Clemsonshawty]

@RobertHollisByrd thats crazy when most crime especially hienous crimes are committed by whites...TRENCH COAT MAFIA.....COLOMBINE....ADOLF HITLER..... yet we're the savages?

[oysterjoe]

Go back to Little Rock, 1957, mother fucker.

It's ignorant fags like yourself who make me want to move out of White town.

Cracker cunt!

[GOTHDRAGON1980]

No child should have to die that way.And the best way to honor him is for all of us to unite and end the violence.And everyone needs to know were all part of one race-human.

[tinktinkerbell86]

i cant believe this would happen we are all black people work it out!!!!!!!! excpicially a sixteen year old

[sacredlybreathing]

I can't believe how people our so conditioned that they would take 200 years of slavery and another 100 years without black people having the right to vote and still think that it would should have no effect on now. The reality is that the civil rights movement settled for the freedom of movement without the economics to enable success. Institutional racism will only disappear when we return protest and demand economic changes that we are due for the suffering and unpaid work of our ancestors.

[macchef01]

sacredlybreathing would you like some cheese with that wine? first of all we have only been a nation since 1776 and slavery was ended in 1864. so no "America" as a nation did not have slavery for 200 years. And if you want to talk about Restitution then get In line because we Owe Mexico the states of Texas, Arizona, and NewMexico. and they're in line because we Owe the rest of America to Native Americans. Quit being a whiny little blackboy and get a Job. This is America for better or worse.

[MrBkofi]

@sacredlybreathing i agree wit you men, but you also got to know that it's not poverty that why all of these are happening..the problem is that black PEOPLE DON'T HAVE HONOR.we don't respect ourself,neither do we love ourselves..we are also not united..that is why we are suffering..n black americans shouldn't blame the government or poverty, because the blacks in africa live in a worse state. they just need to be disciplined..and a father model in the house.

[meghager]

I'm an older white person. White people absolutely can't accept some responsibility for the death of Derrion. We have done grossly awful things to both Indian and black people. Why haven't we used all these trillions of dollars spent on Iraq to help inner cities. Slavery, capitalism which uses poor people to make $, it all led to this sort of activity. If I was black or Indian I would also have many feelings of anger towards white people because of the past.

[dreamkasts]

So the Death of this young man is the Fault of whites? Get real. Youre not white....he was beaten by blacks in a majority black neighborhood sooooooo how am I involved in hid death?

[dreamkasts]

Okay well Im white I'm Liberal and I ve had two times to vote in my life and both were democratic. Kerry and Obama...I didnt have anything to do with slavery and as a matter of fact noone alive today had anything to do with slavery. White people also enslaved Asians to build the railroads but I dont see senseless violence in their community. I also dont see senseless acts to this degree in the american native culture. Black people killed this kid not me.

[MzTJones80]

I'm black and I'm inclined to agree with you somewhat. I mean, yes, black people killed THIS kid, but white people kill each other, and they've killed blacks, Latino, etc. Killers come in all colors. However, this is not ALL about black and white, but about choices. Everyone has a choice. These assclowns CHOSE to be stupid and commit this terrible crime. I have zero sympathy for ANYONE who takes a life unjustifiably. I agree that slavery played NO part in what they did to this boy.

[redbonegal]

This is a result of slavery, where we were taught to hate each other. You push people into an environment like this, they psychologically turn on each other. Like the great depression caused an increase in white on white crime. They kill each other too then play crazy when they go to court. What's white folks excuse? Poverty? Poor education?

[kingoffighterz]

No this is a result of poor uneducated people influenced by hip hop and its urban culture to act like animals. A black person gets hurt and somehow you find a way to blame whites it's fucking ridiculous. You have people like nas not even paying child support, chris brown beating on his girlfriend, the black entertainment industry does not set a good example for its people in my opinion.

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@kingoffightez

first of all white people have nothing to do with this young mans death,second what does the hip hop industry have to do with this. no its the parents of these young children who dont know any better and let the outside world shape them

[kingoffighterz]

Oh the comment was a response to someone else comment, not direct at you or your opinion on the matter. Hip hop has alot to do with what happened, these kids try to emulate what they see and hear, especially from those they idolize, and I'd take a wild guess and say they idolize 50 cent more than they do obama.

[redbonegal]

i didnt blame whites, no where in my comment suggests that, I mentioned white on white crime during the great depression, but you sure are defensive, are you in fact guilty of something? Are are you just a little old troll? Surely you must have committed a crime of some sort. Perhaps you were molested as a child thereby leading to your defensiveness and guilt.

[kingoffighterz]

Your comment that this is a result of slavery, where does this shift the blame to? If you cannot understand what you were conveying in your own words, I really don't think your worth my time. Never went to college did you.

[meghager]

I agree with this point also. On top of what I said of the past, violence on tv and music creates people who don't blink an eye to seeing or committing murder. It's all ingrained now. I think it should legally removed from tv and music. I guess that would be a definite free speech infringement and won't happen but it would be great if it could. My daughter does a fine job of restricting her children's viewing habits. They can't watch very much tv at all.

[toofly323]

@kingoffighterz and white "ENTERTAINERS" set better examples LOOK AT MILEY CIRUS, LINDSAY LOHAN. its not the "ENTERTAINMENT" industry's responsibility to set an example. why do people think blacks look to "ENTERTAINTERS" to set an example. and as far as nas and chris brown goes, theres men in other races who do thee exact samething.

[kingoffighterz]

@toofly323 Entertainers are in the spotlight, whom children aspire to be like. Be it that football player who went into a strip club a beat a stripper down, nba player have a gun in the locker room over a bet, etc etc...Rap is a cancer, and the afro american people will be sick until that crap is purged.

[116Eggleston]

Alright people what are we going to do?

[meghager]

Study how the Amish people raise children that creates a population with 0% crime. You can teach morality, respect for others property, kindness, consideration, without the religion aspect. Drill it into children from age 1.

[robertjdm]

Why in the hell did noone try to help this kid? They would rather video tape it then try and stop them from killing him. Sad, very sad!

[lsowemimo]

i wish he would have ran, and not try to fight like 5 dudes.

[1Mumiaabujamal]

Have you heard of the columbine incident? Stop trying to make this a black thing. Why do they look like "stupid monkeys". When white people beat up other white people do they look like "stupid monkeys"? Who's been influencing you that you should think and critique black issues as if you are some white conservative?

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@1mumiaabujamal

this is a black thing,what was the last incident u saw on tv. where white people were fighting and killing each other. i work at a jail and all i see is our young black men coming into jail and have no plan of what their going to do when they get out and they keep coming back. me and other citizens of our communities need to come together and form programs and help our black men rise above this violence

[1Mumiaabujamal]

So then you let TV dictate your reality? Hypothetically, is it possible that some of these same thing are happening non-black or "white" schools to non-black and white children? I am not feeling your earnesty or dedication to the "cause" by decision to criticize the effect or the victim and not the cause. I'll tell you this, in my opinion the only way to begin making acutal progress for "young black men" and all other black human beings, is in the area of money. continued...

[1Mumiaabujamal]

When black people start owning business and assets, including valuable land, such as the land in nigeria and other parts of africa where oil, plantinum, and other resources are we will then be able to build on that foundation. But there must be no non-black or "sell out black" vested interests in any venture. Second we need an militant authortarian orginization to defend "us" and hold "us" accountable.

[1Mumiaabujamal]

Without these things, all of your bias journalism serves to do is pour salt in an already festering wound, or at best attract more people such as yourself who think they can talk the "black" situation to wellness. I may seem harsh or a bit serious, but you come off as naive, and maybe you are too young to understand the dynamics of systemic racism and such, Or it could be that your just one of the offspring of the "well to do" blacks who think they are somehow more responsible or more "noble".

[delean2]

w/everything that u were saying,i totally agree. something is gng to have to give like seriously! great film!

[middletech]

If you raise a boy without a good father figure then they grow up to be thugs that beat honor students to death with sticks. This is not a racial thing. This is true with all races.

However, the African American community has 70% of their children born out of wedlock.

When the African American community restores the stable family unit then they will stop being ghetto. Until then expect more.

[anvdoe]

You are correct middletech

[Rica329]

"If you raise a boy without a good father figure then they grow up to be thugs that beat honor students to death with sticks."

umm ok. my half brother (same dad different moms) used to live with his mother who raised him on her own. Right now he is working towards his bachelor's degree. I cant really recall him ever being a thug that "beat honor students to death with sticks" and he's black, which doesn't even matter in the first place.

[Rica329]

There was trials along the way but HE didnt want to be a statistic so he stayed on the right path. You're probably not trying to say that all fatherless young, black men turn out like that but at least give the ones that do make it out some credit.  Thanks

[germanonj]

thats bullshit he was swinging when that kid hit him with the stick a soon as someone dies they make him out to be a saint

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@germanonj

i dont know what video u looked at but he didnt swing at anyone. if u look closely when he first gets hit with the stick his back was turned

[shireeh1]

germanonj: Yeah. I would swing to asshole if people were swinign sticks and planks at me when I had nothing. Wouldnt you? That doesnt mean he was involved, he was just defending himself. This has nothing to do with him being a saint, the point here is he was a just a 16 year old kid that did not deserve that. And he wasnt really swinging, he was defending himself and trying to get a friend out of the crowd while ON THE WAY HOME. Get your facts straight and get the hell off this site.

[Underparr]

WHY WHY WHY do we always have to make things RACE? Cant we all just be people?

[redarrowhead]

hah, you cant just 'ignore' race that would be unintelligent and neglecting something so very pivotal in your life. Even a child can discern something different from one thing and another by age 3-5. Instead you should be an analytical realist. Which most people are simply not.

[Underparr]

I never said "'ignore" race. I simply said "Cant we all just be people? " But obvious you dont have the mental capabilities to do that

[redarrowhead]

those people in the video were hardly people, dont you agree? I am just saying there is always race involved whether you wish to be ethical and say "it doesnt matter if your're blue, green, black, white" or not; I hate when people say that absurd phrase. Do you not see racial tendencies and patterns? No. You simply say race means nothing.

It does matter. There are differences. Wake the fuck up.

wait i dont even know why I'm argueing, people only think superficially; fed information down tubes

[shireeh1]

Yeah you have a point. But maybe in another topic of discussion. In the bigger scheme of things, This is about a kid who was senselessly killed. Period. Who did nothing wrong and definitely didnt deserve that. White people get killed every day too and sometimes by who? (WHITES). So in that regard people are just people at the end of the day. Yeah every race has their 'stereotypes' but that doesnt give anyone room to judge a race as a whole."People" are ultimately responsible for their actions.

[redarrowhead]

fine nvm. ill just say all men are created equal but some are more equal than others.

anyway the kid was a fool; trying to, according to media, break up a fight already started. Just an idiot going against his nature given instincts. The fact that he got beaten to no ones imagination was inexorable. Heroic but prone to fallibility.

fact of the matter is the media makes a grandiose impression out of him only to address gang violence in chicago which is predominately black.

[DiggityDoglikeDogg]

seriously, fuck race. I'm tired of black here and black there. Why can't people just be colorblind in these matters?

[bigallovepal]

Keep the dialoge going...STOP THE VIOLENCE.

[BULLD0GBIANSKI]

You seem like a person with a lot of common sense which for some reason isn't so common anymore.

[richierino88]

Girl thank you for tellin it like it is, it's time to UNITE geeze, take a yoga class or somethin dont hit each other with wood WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

[yatt919]

As a former crip myself i feel bad seeing such heinous acts , when i was put down i did wat i had to but now i see my flaws. Time 4 a change...anyone there

[montse09babygirl]

the boy out in the streets dnt care R.I.P DERRION

[bishop102]

So how is the white man to blame for this?

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@bishop102

the white man has nothing to do with this. it starts with the parents

[SweetieBooISTheTruth]

White man is the blame for everything :)

[1187Francisco]

you are full of shit

[SweetieBooISTheTruth]

dude. Id fuck her so hard itd actually be a hate crime :)

[chargers702]

dont worry its not just black ppl that are killing each other LATIN ppl do the same shit,i mean no matter what what race your from you shouldnt be killing each other shit PPL are so fucking stupid man like fo real

[tori481]

What tore me up the most was seeing the face of his mother with her eyes brimming with tears God, the hurt in her eyes was heartwrenching. For whatever it's worth, please know that there are people far from Chicago who care and feel so bad about the loss of this precious life.

[RyuKazama09]

by the way StephanieCoreyTV,

you got class .

Nice vid

[quickship1]

OMG FUCKING GOD if it isnt another stupid fucker acting like he know's something.

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@ryukazama09

thanks

[RyuKazama09]

Yeah, instead of doing something like spoken word or what ever else that is real ..but no ....greed makes them not care about their influence on impressionable minds....

woah almost went off topic, but not completely - that is part of the problem though isnt it ?

[RyuKazama09]

GET INTO ""MENTAL SELF DEFENCE AND FITNESS"", DO NOT SUCCOMBE TO PEER PRESSURE, DO NOT IDOLIZE RAPPERS (i know it this bit sounds dumb, but hey, a lot of people , sorry YOUNG PEOPLE, look up to them, as their god ... litterally ...damn it people, they know their shit sells, and who's buying their "art"  ... i mean we have payed for their jeweleries, cars, mortgages etc about 10 times over, and they turn around and sell some more garbage...

[RyuKazama09]

POINTLESS !!!!

I bet those gangbangers can find a way justify their train of thought, their way of living, their mentality, their PSEUDO - philosophy...man, it's all bullshit;

Like Sanitized filf -> original name LOL ,

people like that are a total disgrace to our race ... AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGH­GHHHH!!!!!!

[RyuKazama09]

DERRION ALBERT could have made a diference for is community, and just like that..... PLEASE POEPLE, STOP THIS NON SENSE,; STOP THE VIOLENCE; WE OUGHTTA HELP EACH OTHER MOVE FORWARD, ADVANCE

[RyuKazama09]

I am relieved that they caught those guys,,, i feel sorry for them, but i am still happy they got caught .... they wont harm any one else that is for sure, and hopefully , really, the other gangbangers will learn ... problem is when you are that far gone, is there any hope for you ?

[CULMgot78]

the girl who recorded it did actually turn the video over to police

[RyuKazama09]

tragedy that happens frequently, this one was caught on tape ...poor kid, my heart goes out to his family and friend ... those kids that were fighting, i mean why ?! WHY WHY WHY WHY ?! what for ? turf ? money ? drugs ? what ever sparked that brawl should not have sparked ot in the 1st place... gang violence, peer pressure, etc.. .that needs to stop, right now. NOW !!!! senseless...absurd .... stupid....

[dnifty1]

Who said that Al Capone (a white man) was the black man's hero? Said who?

What people in this country have a culture of telling blacks that they are know nothing, dumb sambos who CANT learn and SHOULD NOT learn anything?

What people in this country have a culture of enjoying seeing a black man's brains out on the street and calling them NIGGAS?

What culture are black people representing the KKK?

Look up little rock 9 and blacks getting beat down for going to school.

Think about that.

[MorningofMourning]

well this isn't anything new... this one just happened to get caught on video. 1/4 of black men have been in the prison system.

it's a never ending cycle.

[sbarudzija]

as long as they have apartment complexes and projects laid out like jails then it wont stop

[truthman50]

black on black crime again. when will it stop.

[MattyLight1]

wow, u fine as hell ma

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@mattylight1

thanks lol

[Dicklle34]

My question is did the guys that killed him go to the same high school as Derrion did?

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@Dicklle34

yes i think they did

[dustin8420]

See now you're gettin into the nitty gritty of it right? Everyone knows the phrase nice guys finish last.. You ladies (or the majority anyway) want a bad boy... don't act all surpised when you get one..

[duseoner]

the nwe world order is coming the elites love this kind of stuff.we are the real jews and the elite only have a short time to do this nwo.god wanted that boy to die right there hes going to come back in the kingdom anyway.get ready all hell is about to break out all over the world.all of this is in the bible race wars and death.h1n1 shot is the first wave of death to come get ready....

[AvEryBadApPLe]

nwo isn't coming, it's already here. fyi: it's not just the jews. prescott bush(non jew) was a money laundering nazi sympathizer. after coming out of a depression, iron crosses, tanks and snazzy uniforms weren't cheap for hitler. anywho, elites of various ethnic backgrounds love watching anyone that doens't have a place at their table, destroy each other. besides, do you honestly believe the bilderberg, european parliment and cfr meetings are whites only?

[al89aizadwesley]

TO those guys who got involved... If youre watching this... Touch your heart man... Touch your heart... Feel in ya... Who's gonna stand up and take responsibility over a young life lost? Man..., If youre responsible... ask yourself this... someone innocent has been killed. Future robbed... But HEY, YOU man... on the other hand... Youre still livin' your life... How unfair is that... Now come on... you wanna continue living till that one day where you think "hey... what have i done man..."

Peace

[Suggest18]

damn thats wild the boy got beat up worse than the boys that were actually in the gangs just for being there what the hell that was bullshit

[blastobutter01]

You present yourself very well.  You are sure to have a bright future.

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@blastobutter01

thanks for seeing that in me

[ilovecolinandbrad]

I agree. It's horrible what happened, but like blastobutter01 said, you pretty much hit the nail on the head with what happened. What the hell were these people THINKING?

[jack14black]

lol

[cream2424]

THATS RIGHT GIRL

[Goobelham]

Keep the poor fighting amongst each other while the upper one percent run off with all the fucking money.

[warcamp70]

Your comment is 100% truth. The problem is that when I bring up what the elite is doing to america (all races) people look at me like I'm crazy. My people are being played like a fucking fiddle and they're to ignorant to see it. They look to the state to solve their problems but they can't see that programs like welfare were designed to destroy the black family. To keep the man out of the house and belittle him as a man was the plan. But you know what they say, "ignorance is bliss"

[TADMG]

I don't understand how people that young, can actually do something like this. This gang violence shit is retarded. And I hope you are right, this people deserve to spend their lives in jail. I hope they get what they deserve. I'm 21 and just could never picture my self, taking the life of another person.

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@TADMG

i saw a special on teen violence and they said they its on the rise and its getting worse every year. something gotta change

[tdotbelly21st]

Minorities need to join together as a whole, not just black or white but everyone that's coming from nothing tryin to make something, that shit was sad, yet u got Jamaicans that hate Haition or Rican that hate dominicans, we all from the same blood, if not the same struggle. We gotta change.

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@tdotbelly21st

ur right, we do need to join forces and be the modern civil rights era again that would be dope espically with a bi-racial president

[jac5562]

its the music,got our mentality's fucked up,the parents-not settn they kids str8,this is wat shit has come to

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@jac5562

your right i agree

[TymesRhymes]

We as young black people should try to break stereotypes, not enforce them.

He was an Honor student that didn't talk a lot and wan't in a gang.

Stupid just stupid.

[StephanieCoreyTV]

@tymesRhymes i agree

[SanitiZedFiLf]

i feel you..that shit was pointless..it was no point in hittin that man wit no boards or stompin him like that.. they could have settled that shit a diff way..thats crazy..i hope them NIGGAS go ta jail..discrase ta my race

[StephanieCoreyTV]

its most def a strike to our race
