My first day of school at Anacostia back in 1994, someone was shot right outside of the school. I was terrified! My first day of school was suppose to be a the start of my future, instead it was someone's last...RIP Devin, for you are in a far better place than those that still remain...
Didn't know the young brother, but R.I.P.. And as for Ms. Fowlkes, keep ya head up and stay strong. I know it took a lot out of you to do that interview. DC streets, wake up. We gotta stop this bullshit out here, shit's not a game.
Thank you all for your comments, we work with young people to develop their skills in media and technology, at the same time we want them to use their new skills in serving their community and creating a discussion, maybe, maybe, we will become motivated to do something about it, I heard some comments that were powerful. We would love to bring this entire video to your community and begin a discussion and form action groups around it. thank you again....LD from MMTI, President
Basically things like this comes from poverty, drugs, and poor schoolings. In majority of black communities there is a lack of opportunity for jobs. This has been in our history for years. When there is a lack of jobs there is a lack of money wich leads to the selling of drugs, and or weapons. there is only a small percentage of bad people in bad neighbohoods, but if there is no one helping you start to feel discouraged.
Kids these days are primarily just about sex, drugs and violence. Most kids these days are mere drones of an immoral mass culture that encourages this type of behavior; those who do not obey tend to be singled out, criticized and excluded.
I think it's the same world wide. The only foundation these principles are built on is basically SIN. Greed, Envy, Jealousy, Selfishness. It's the same principles that motivates genocide, rebellion, riots, etc. Theres no LOVE, in ANY of these things.
To the person saying blacks destroy every city, for your info, whites kill each other more than blacks in this country. They just report black on black crime more. Not saying there int a problem, but white america loves to under report statistics when it comes to whites.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why do black people destroy every major city in america? and are 89 percent of the murder rate? And you want justice. I do not see any other race of people fuckin up shit like you black people. stop putting the blame on racism cause that is some bullshit!!! how can you call for justice and your civil rights? act civil stop the murdering and maybe people will start to take the issue seriously...
So there we have it. He highlighted 2 major situations that EVERY PERSON goes through. "Poor" and "Neglection." So what do we do about these problems. These are both social and moral problems, so what do we do? We take ANY actions til these problems are first sorted Socially and Morally!
y wud say that black ppl are poor... like your jus sayn that black ppl are poor and not all ppl... ur ancestors were poor.. i went to that school..im from washington dc.. i remember the day that that happend... it had nuthn to do with poor because believe it or not AFRICAN AMERICANS r alot more successful than whites....
....we r always going to b looked at like a bad race because of society.. but if you look at the overall picture like really look deep into our history.. we were happy n out country.. we had riches and we had peace...and the white man hated to c that he hated to c sumbodi hav more than him so he decided to take it from us..
so he had to kidnapp us 2 do so and make us slaves because we did not believe n fightn until we came to america..we did nt have wars n africa..here n america ppl believe they hav to fight for wat they want..steal..and from then on we were subjected to thug life from slavery.. the white man was a thug first..but durin slavery we became angry..heart broken this is y we act more differently than whites..
Lol..I didn't mean all black ppl are poor is just a metafore. But what i'm sayin is that black ppl are blamed for their bad image society..th truth is...some whites(No Racism) yea..like you said..get pretty jealous for their success.
This is still goin on in ma' country. As you can see the minority of other races which aren't muslim are given the "Second Class Treatment". But fortunately this only happens in the west side^^ so yea ppl on the east are lucky..
NO JUSTICE FOR ONE NATION, THERE SHALL BE NO JUSTICE FOR THE REST OF EARTH!! AMEN
Genocides cannot be ignored, they cannot go without REPAYMENT!!! Remember Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, Kurds,Christians, Jews look whats going to your people still. Our lands stil being occupied, our people still being persecuted and killed!!!:\
You need to ask yourself..WHO owns the media? WHO owns the police? WHO owns our politicians? WHO is pretending to be Jewish and IS NOT? WHO benefits from keeping blacks angry? Look up: David Icke - Freedom or Fascism on google video.
In my opinion, all teenagers should be locked up in a maximum security prison until they turn 21 years old. Then we should beat them with sticks..just kidding!
Very Good Job young Men. I am very proud of you. Growing up in Anacostia was hard for my family so I know first hand that we need more serious young folks to get involved in changing the Game. We do not have to lose our young people prison, Black on Black street violence or Drugs. God Bless you!!! KEEP it UP!!
