  • in other words, black people are murderers who cant control there anger in a logical civilized way.

  • The government needs to strongly limit guns to the public.

  • @packers256 your an idiot.

  • @mrsuperterd OK check out these stats. The UK has strict gun laws. Even police officers do not carry firearms. 8% of homicides are from guns in the UK, while 46% are from guns in the US. The overall homicide rate in the UK is 1.45 per 100,000 people. In the US, that number is 8.55. I would like to hear your argument.

  • @mrsuperterd Oh, you also spelled 'you're' wrong. Kind of ironic.

  • I love my city but im glad i got my family up outta there for real.

  • so horrible....what is wrong with people??!!!!! >:( they are "humans" too! not aliens from another planet!!!

    what do you think if dark skinned people do the same for you? would you like it?

    if you don`t LEARN TO BEHAVE !

  • broke ass dudes counting singles lol sorry if im off topic lol

  • NIGGERS

  • As long as black culture continues to idolize thugs and the gang mentality while excusing absent fathers there will never be a change. White people cannot teach you to be civilized and value other peoples rights. You have to do this yourself. No amount of money or programs or midnight basketball is going to fix the root cause of the problems in black society. Why have whites succeeded in every country in the world? Because they have learned the value of a strong nuclear family. Blacks have not.

  • So many words...

  • You don't need conflict resolution classes in school. You need two parents who will teach you how to speak and act like a civilized human being. As long as the majority of black children grow up in single family homes nothing will ever change. It all starts in the home. Don't blame white people, the economy, or slavery....none of these can have any effect on a persons character if they have been raised with high moral standards.

  • @harleyxxfabco What do YOU know about black heritage? What do you know about civilized culture? Western culture is the most violent of all. Africa was not poverish, Africa flourished, full of resources, western culture came in raped Africa in the butt for it's resources, labor, etc. It's western culture that made deals with criminals to bring the African people over to the states and enslave them.

    And 450 years of slavery, racism, and oppression should have no effect a group of people what?

  • You can thank your black culture and heritage for the black on black violence that takes place no matter what continent you live on.

    The sooner you reject the thug mentality and reject the violent & immoral role models that black society embraces, the sooner you will evolve as a civilized society.

  • @harleyxxfabco It's sort of funny how it's a racial thing when black on black violence happens, but it becomes only "normal" for white on white violence. You people are so oblivious because all you see is the color. It's not the concept of violence that you see as the source of the problem its the skin.

    Open your eyes people, this is not a racial problem, it's a violence problem. Violence is inhumane, war is inhumane.

  • Comment removed

  • @harleyxxfabco I'm sorry I must of been watching the wrong video, I didn't see any animals.

    Ever thought that maybe statements like in the comment you just said can also breed more violence and hatred? Secondly how can you call these people 'animals', and not call War animal-like behavior, or the countless genocide that have gone down in HUMAN history that are even still happening in present day. Or slavery, lynching, segregation etc. But somehow they earned the title as "animals" ?

  • @marc15yo I see black people behaving like animals and committing acts of violence agaist their own race. Don't get me wrong, Whites are capable of the same behavior. When there is a video addressing white on white crimes I will comment on it. This video is about black on black crime., gang violence and the innocent victims of it. Until black culture stops idolizing black thugs and excusing absent fathers there will be no change. This is the harsh reality of it all.

  • @marc15yo White on White violence is just as bad....But this video was not about white people now is it?

    Post one about White people acting like animals and I will be just as disgusted.

    Just because violence is common in other cultures too, does not excuse the actions of these animals. If they act like uncivilized animals they deserve to be called animals.

  • i like the vid with the kids from Ghana more then this....

  • @shezzywam

    Are you for real? Why do you give a fuck what another person thinks about you? Man it aint racism that's got us in the streets killin each other. Racism is like SATAN it only has an effect on you if you let it. Period.

  • it aint gon stop, as long as sumbody tryna kill da next nigga, its gon be sumbody tryna kill dem. its a never endin cycle

  • The only solution to stopping gang violence, and it is the sad truth, is to step uppolice enforcement and the police to kill out the gangs. It is sad, but true...

  • @animeemo321

    not just the police dude.

    send out the friggin army and swat team!

  • I know violence is wrong period..but what happened to the good ol' fight with your fist and that it...you know when they never used any weapons..just fight like a man not like a punk ass sissy. I will prefer that any day over guns and other weapons...

  • LOL @ the fool counting his money when he sees the CAMERA is on.

    the WHOLE world needs to get together and help each other. the GOVERNMENTS could care LESS! they are not willing to do anyhting. not sure why OUR country is ALL over the world trying to "FIX" others' problems, but we have OUR own problems here in the USA!!!!

  • @Sladeiosen your going to hell

  • im sick of hearing about slavery,, thats was fucking ages ago get over it already its well gone... look to the future dont look back start a new future for the children and help racism to parish.. if u dont get over it then it will keep coming back up. but EVERYONE needs to grow up and look forward!

  • @shezzywam not everyone is equal. dont fucking lie. why do you think there are people on the street, and some people in mansions, not everyone is equal

  • US= a hopelessly fucked up place. I'm so glad I don't have to live there

  • @sondano it is, but every other place is just as fucked up in one way or another. it's sad..

  • YOU BLACK PEOPLE ACT LIKE WILD ANIMALS!!! PUT THE FUCKIN GUNS DOWN!!!!!

  • @TheMackmessiah SHUT UP NIGGA

  • @TheMackmessiah Stfu whites created the gun you faggs

  • Crack brought the war into the ghettos . . .

  • @OCBOHJE THANK YOU!!!! Finally someone knows...

  • This seems like a horrible place to live. Unfortunately for many places, street crime gets out of control and results in a deadly downward spiral. Our government needs to step it up. This should not be happening anywhere.

  • People are saying " we need less racist people" As in Whites on Blacks, and calling just the whites the racist ones, that's bull shit. Most people don't even realize that most homosides are black on black/white on white ect. Unless you're racist against yourself, that's not the problem. Stop pulling the race card, it gets old.

  • @chouytheboy99 Well mabye if the whites didnt enslave us we wouldent have a fuse inside of us

  • @LilDreadlox so you're saying you would be more profitable if you still lived in Africa? Dude, the Whites gave you everything you have right now, you should be thanking us. I can understand your gandparents or something being mad at Whites, but YOU? No, YOU were never enslaved and I never enslaved you. Your grandparents were enslaved and it was our elders that did it. You have no right to be mad at the current day whites

  • @chouytheboy99 Your bullshit we would have came without you guys

  • @chouytheboy99 Whites never gave me or my family anything. It has nothing to do with slavery, racism continues even today. Something you obviously don't understand.

  • @SpiralDaze Umm, actually everything that you have, you would not have if it weren't for the original White Americans that came here and built this country, all without your help. And obviously racism still exists, and black people are the only ones to take it as a taboo that it really isn't. Get over yourselves because you're nothing special, at one point or another everyone's ancestors were once enslaved so i have no pity for you.

  • @chouytheboy99 This country was built by everyone, not just whites. What, do you honestly believe that they built this country on their own? Everything that I have is of my own doing and no one else. I've never asked you for pity, and it's common knowledge that other race's have been through slavery, but what you lack is not only compassion but intelligence, so if anything I should feel sorry for you.

  • @SpiralDaze No, wrong once again. All you people do is take credit for the White people's work, don't you? Hispanics, Asians, blacks, never helped because no one was here yet. NO one but the Whites who came here helped build this country, it was a while before other Europeans immigrated here, Asians, we took blacks as slaves, the beaner infestation, but all of that happened after we already built this country, with out your help.

  • @chouytheboy99 Any person who has a general grasps of history knows perfectly well that slaves helped build America. Also, you're forgetting about the Native Americans who were here way before any of the other cultures established themselves.

  • @SpiralDaze So? We came here legally unlike many minorites of today. There were never any immigrations laws so we had right to be on the land

  • @chouytheboy99 But does that make it right to slaughter thousands of Native Americans and take their land which technically was already claimed? In the end, we're all immigrants and I find it hypocritical. Read a history book, kid it helps. Also, look up the word immigrant.

  • @SpiralDaze I'm done arguing with you, all of you are the same, you never directly answer what you know is wrong. And you're not superior to me in any way by saying "Read a book, Kid." Also, i never said it's right to murder the Natives, once again weiving around what I said before. And you are quite the hipocrite to first say that you helped build this country, then blame it on the creators of the country for murdering the natives. By your logic, you just admited to murdering people.

  • @chouytheboy99 No seriously, you really need to read a book. Obviously by your answers you know nothing about your own history, and I didn't mean the "kid" part to be insulting because everyone knows that a 66 year old cannot be this immature and still plays Nintendo. Also, I don't see how that's hypocritical, since I never said I helped build anything, your logic baffles me.

    Have a nice day, though.

    

  • @chouytheboy99 That is a damn lie and you know it.

  • @suntanbeautiful If you actually read something in your life, you would know that it's not a lie. I am done proving my point, i'm done responding so you can carry on with how we're such horrible people and feeling sorry for yourself.

  • @chouytheboy99 When you got your white ass here this land was already occupied. It was your sorry white ass that had to be taught to plant and grow food. And you killed those who helped you. And yes racism still exist and it is now directed at your white asses. You have a shameful history. So get over yourself. You are just a white shit bag complaining about what you created.

  • @suntanbeautiful Actually, the White Puritans that came here from Europe befriended the Native Americans. We were completely allowed to come here by the fact that there were no immigration laws. Every race at some point in another has enlaved someone else, so it is you that needs to get over yourself for you are no different than anyone else in this world as far as "bad history" goes.

  • @chouytheboy99 No true it is you freaking white people who have a shameful history. And you are always thinking of excuses rather that dealing with it.

  • just because there black? This world is sick.

  • 1 word emos

  • man shit i whould never live in a fucked up city like that one. geting killed over stupid shit fuck that..............

  • worlds better with no racism 

  • it starts at home. someone to tell you pull your pants up, speak correctly....but also.....hey, SON, do you want to go throw the ball, shoot some hoops?

  • Its wasnt right what happended to him. But I cant blame him for shooting up dey house. my homie lil c (may he rest in peace) wus shot in the head in a drug deal gone bad. He shouldnt have been sellin drugs but thats what he did. He wus 16. Stop sensless voilence.

  • @gangsta90560

    stop senseless violence? yet you say you cant blame him for shooting up "dey house" in the same sentence.. you epitomize the youth that are mixed up. look at your youtube name. dying to be tough. and you can't spell. your name says it all.

  • Im from the hood. People die. drugs r sold. Its the same old thing. I hate gangs. I wus raised in an all blood neigborhood, But I never wus recruited. I dont wanna die a fuckin degenerate, who sold drugz to kids or shot up a tree year old. its sensless violence. I will not hesitate to protect myself. I do have a gun. Its locked up were only I can get it. I fight with my fist. A real man dont start shit, he finish shit. my homie ceaser wus shot in the back. he lived and shot up dey house.

  • dumass east oaklandd mainee!! we do solidd brahh.. 2700 murda dubbzz

  • I sure the hell aint moving over there :l

  • Take away the guns and they'll just use knives, take away those and they'll just use 2x4's. Oh wait, they already are! Whatever happened to being a parent, knowing when, where and what your kids are doing and with whom? The only thing being taught to these kids is cowardice, hide behind a gun rather than fight like a man. Maybe some don't have the money to get out of the ghetto but that sounds like a pretty weak excuse for not protecting your children.

  • @thesupermonkey As if this doesn't apply to everything in this world. Look at the world today, the middle-east is hot.

    Secondly what makes you think a parent is actually able to know what their child is doing? Do you have kids? did you have a childhood where you young at one point in your life? If so I'm sure you know what it's like. Kids don't tell their parents everything. In fact a majority of young people will NOT turn to their parents, or even adults for their problems.

  • @marc15yo I don't follow your 'middle-east' comparison. What makes me think a parent is able to know what their child is doing? It's pretty straight forward, it involves taking time and interest in your children, talking to them, checking up on the them when you think they're up to no good and taking every possible precaution to protect and discipline them (ie. "parenthood"). How can you NOT know where you child is and what they are doing and still consider yourself a parent?

  • @thesupermonkey Let me explain, The middle-east especially in our times is one of the hottest (violent) and unstable places because of clashing ideologies. I hope you are aware of that by now. My point to that reference was, that it's not the skin color or "black heritage' as you so ignorantly put it earlier, it's about "human heritage". Humans are violent. As long as there are multiple clashing ideas in this world then there will be violence.

  • @marc15yo I think you're confused, my point of contention is parenting, NOT skin color. Yes, I know a bit about the middle east, I've lived there but I still fail to see the comparison you're attempting to draw between sectarian violence and gun crime in Chicago. "Humans are violent"... a good student quickly learns not to make broad, unfounded generalizations. History indicates a closer link between ignorance and violence than violence and humanity.

  • @thesupermonkey actually your right, half those statements were meant for harleyxxfabco. I apologize for the confusion. It was his ignorant comment and i must of confused the two of you. And your absolutely right, It really is ignorance that is the cause of violence, not humans themselves, well said. I'll definitely remember that.

  • @thesupermonkey Secondly if you truly believe that in every household parents are aware of their kids life in every aspect, then you truly are an ignorant parent (i presume you have kids). Tell that to suicide victims (due to bullying etc), tell that to those that don't have a parent figure, tell that to the teen pregnancy, the children with drug addictions. Their parents also thought that they knew what their child.

    I'm in college taking Issues in Child development course, and i know.

  • @marc15yo I by no means believe most parents as involved with their children as they should be, hence the problem. I don't delude myself into thinking good parental guidance is the magic bullet for every problem but it's the best and most readily available solution to this and many other issues. I'm glad you're taking a child development course, good for you. I'm sure that's the solution to gun crime... classes :P

  • @thesupermonkey I agree, another thing other than parent involvement are the school systems and how/if they offer proper help for kids in need of it. And believe it or not, i do believe education can solve a great deal of the problems with this society, but of course violent crime isn't as simple a thing to fix. ;)

  • @thesupermonkey BTW, you do realize that children spent a majority of their lives with other children at school right? The first person they would turn to for personal problems is not YOU the parent, as much as you want to believe it, but their closest friend. They go to school everyday except for weekends and during those days they spend 5 hours + at school average, the rest they are doing homework or after school activities. How can you know what they are up to at school ?

  • @marc15yo A)I speak with their teachers on a regular basis, they have my cell # and I have theirs. If there's a problem I usually know about it before my children arrive home. B)I talk with my kids, everyday. I ask how their day was, what they did, etc. We do homework, eat and play together, as a family. C)I know who my kids' friends and I know where my kids are at all times. I'm not saying my kids won't face these problems but if they do, it will be difficult for me to be unaware of it.

  • Looks like the "no snitching" policy isn't working too well for these people

  • You have to change the culture of the city or it will never stop.

    I find it hard to believe 17 year old gang bangers are legally buying guns and are NRA members.

  • 400 people in Chicago murdered? I grew up in a small town, 400 people is over half of the people in the high school I went to.

  • i have 480 kids in my high school, if 400 were killed thats only 80 of us alive....

    thats alot of people

  • why dont they just move to a safer area

  • A lot of the people living in these communities lack the financial means by which to make that move.

  • they dont have the money to

  • Why are gun and knifes always in black diprived communities not just in U.S but the UK as well.

  • why are all these videos or atleast 50% of them talking shit about america -.- i agree with some but my god go talk about germany or russia -.-

  • Why cause your jealous because america is the best? stfu and go fuck yourself you stupid imagrant

  • i am american read my fucking comment you little bitch and go back to africa! im not a fucking immigrant they always saying america didnt do this or that

  • in germany or russia you can't buy guns like in america

  • Why are Germans allowed to buy guns and why can you also get them on the black market in Russia?

  • I believe guns don't kill people, people kill people

  • That mother crying, I could just feel her morosefull sarrow. The tears make me cry as well.

    Why wont America stop the madness? The suffering and pain? How come we don't have the will power? How come we think that other peoples word is more importan than our own?

    Why do will kill ourselfs? Money? Hate? Insainity? Publicity? Reputation? Whats that worth when your the one being shot?

    Simple answer; Nothing.

  • this happens beacuse of races KKK kill lots of poeple too

  • its all cause of the gangs who hate the other gangs. I mean yea i hate killers my bro got killed by a drive by in Miami and about 10 other guys with him that ran and got killed by the cops cause they were runnin and the cops thought they killed him and yet the cops still killed them and havent found the acual killers

  • ooo that sucks :[ sorry to hear that

  • its not just gun crimes

    its all crimes

    and the crimes arnet just african americans

    its all races

  • I'm was born and raised in Chicago and i have to worry about this not only with myself but my family. this is touching.

  • thats why rap scks..adding t this violence...i mean that kinda rap ...tht kids and noobs find "cool"

  • i hate gun violence and all those fu***n idiots with the guns or the shooters

    kill with gun and die with gun

  • fight with the sword die by the sword.....

  • What is that supposed to mean? Most of the victims are killed by stray bullets, or they might get into a confrontation with someone who they don't know has a gun...

  • I thought it was "Live by the gun; die by the gun"

  • No the original quote is Live by the sword, die by the sword

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Jump to: navigation, search

    "Live by the sword, die by the sword" is a metaphorical expression meaning that living one's life in a certain way will, in the end, affect one's destiny. The proverb comes from the Book of Matthew, verse 26:52, which describes a follower of Jesus drawing a sword to defend him against Roman soldiers, but is rebuked by Jesus, who tells him to sheath the weapon

  • Violence will never end with blacks. They're hopeless. I wasn't racist till I moved to the states from hawaii. They live up to every stereotype and get mad at why ppl are racist towards them. Fucking idiots. You all can call me a racist. I'm fine with that. I'm not denying that I look negatively towards a black person unless they prove me wrong. For fucks sake they're quite racist themselves so fuck them. Nobody owes them shit until they start acting more civil themselves!

  • The only way to stop racism is to stop being racist. You obviously dislike it, but you have let it get inside your head so much, you're so angry, that you've sucumb to it. Most people are a little racist, not all whites, not all blacks, not everyone. You're just being an example of a lack of incentive to change.

  • Do you even know why black people turn to violence, or join gangs? They turn to gang violence because they feel like that's all they can turn to. And the only reason you think they only live up to their stereotypes, is because fucks like you only look at blacks negatively, their future is being tooken away, they feel like they have nothing, so they turn to gangs, drugs, etc. And white people are just as bad, and excuse me if my knowledge seems retarded. I'm only 13.

  • No I agree. Institutional racism is a suspected cause of ethnic minorities being at the bottom of the social scale. You should think about taking Sociology if this interests you. Crime is full of stats but it's extremely interesting.

  • shut up spic

  • dude hawain ppl arent white their maybe a couple of them that are but not all of them i mean how can you comment on blacks if your not even white your BLACK!...kinda

  • it is sad that people are dying my family thought some these stereotypes of African Americans when they came to this country but now they understand where they come from. It is difficult.

  • Well,sweetie.,Im on ALL A honor roll, In gifted classes, Im dark skinned, I happen to be attractive, I have straight hair, and im civilized. So what are you talking about? You DON'T need to class every black in stereotypes. We're all equal in God's eyes. I just proved you wrong and you can go to hell, but you need to grow the fuck up. Dont think it's just blacks with violence. It's the whole WORLD. You're not God and you cant predict the future of what will and will not happen. Peace out.

  • Poverty is a poor teacher: Too many one parent families. Too many parents working 2 minimum wage jobs to make ends meet. Too many kids and teens roaming the streets with no positive guidance to keep out of trouble. Parents with poor language skills reinforcing poor language skills in their children. Too many teens dropping out of high school. Large families in small apartments. People with the worst parenting skills seem to have the most children. The list goes on and on.

  • 65 killed? I live in a small texas town, so that is a HUGE nember for us. One kid died and he has a whole mural to himself. Is that just where I live?

  • The reason thier mostly all black is because thier in the ghetto (def- community of people with the same qualitys or same race in this case) the fact is thier is alot of violence in the black community in chicago... its simple im glad people choose to speak out and want a differance its inspiring, the reason more northern states suffer froom violence is the lack of exta-curricular activities something to keep them off the streets and busy working for something beneficial for our and thier future

  • i think the mai nthing these peopel need is a purpose, they need insparation for good things (conservation, human rights, and against violence like some other students have

  • This short film touch on a good point. There are people who need to understand that gun law in the US is too lax.

  • like im not racist or w/e...i just wonder why are they all black? how does that originate?

  • Seahawkers101, if you're asking why so many black people live in the poorest areas of America's inner cities, that is a much bigger question than you might realize. It connects into a broad set of related issues. No complete answer can fit into a YouTube comment.

    Wikipedia's article on "redlining" might be a useful place for you to start.

    Good luck in your search for knowledge.

  • kevintype-- thanks for the headsup on the redlining. I always wondered that myself. My dad was always telling me while i was growing up that most criminals are black... I didn't want to believe that the color of one's skin could be a cause for crime. Now I see the truth. I also thought America was the land of the free.....

  • That was an interesting article- unfortunately, it goes even FARTHER back than that, if you can believe it!

    If you have time, check out two documentaries "500 years later," and "Legacy." A lot of people ask why blacks don't just do better for themselves. Legacy shows one family's struggle to get out of the projects.

  • very touching.
