The Interrupters: Ameena Speaks at a Young Man's Funeral

[whispers1136]

BUT JUST CUZ THERE IS A BLK PRESIDENT, WHITE KIDS DIE EVERYDAY FROM BLK KIDS SELLING THEM DRUGS!? BLK KIDS ARE SHOOT BLK KIDS, WHITE KIDS ARE GETTING HIGH AND DYING WITH OTHER WHITE KIDS... THE POINT IS KIDS ARE DYING PERIOD BECAUSE WE LIVE IN SUCH A GREED INFESTED WORLD, NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT COLOR YOUR SKIN IS!!!!?

[kagyu1]

Heard the interview on NPR with Ameena today and was so inspired by what she is doing. We need an army of people like Ameena to keep making the world a better place.

[chasca23]

"was goin' to get a tatoo of him.." Low life people killing other low life people, and then being preached to by another supposed 'ex' low life who ironically still feels the need to drop her daddie's name every five sentences. Please. Don't blame Obama or anyone else, spend that energy on growing up and getting a damned education and looking to real role models.

[Sleepyfist]

@chasca23 ...

Who...

blamed...

Obama?"

...

You advise someone to get an education yet you're unable to interpret a 40 second rudimentary soundbite.

[annierosey2]

ameena williams is an absolutely amazing woman.

[urmate13]

among all western countries,the USA are the most violent and this video can be another reason not to move there.it sad to admit it.

[momoiroispink]

@urmate13 Don't be dumb. The US is a HUGE country and if you think this happens everywhere across a country that spans a CONTINENT, then you're just as stupid as the Americans who can't find France on a map.

And no, it is NOT the most violent. Take a trip down to Mexico or Serbia.

[LudicrousPlatypus]

@momoiroispink Colombia has the most homicides per capita

[communistjesus]

Stricter GUN REGULATIONS....

[beeva275]

lying in the coffin with his red colours, umm yeah, these guys are really learning GG

[globehunter2]

Black people killing each other is a every day thing! preachers talking peace

and communities turning heads.This will continue until black folks wake up?

stop listening to Rap music which is of the devil. Stop doing drugs and glorifying

thugs.Until then maybe funerals like this will decrease in numbers. Period.

[Sleepyfist]

@globehunter2 How do you expect some kids raised in a capitalistic culture to stop listening to music endorsed by 5 corporations that own every media outlet while the president endorses Jay Z? People have no moral ground to point the finger at rap artists while ignoring the money machine that endorses it. Even when rappers decide to take negativity out of their music the machine ends their career. Period.

Lex you are worse than animal , repent or you will burn in hell

[AbuMubarak]

Living with "boyfriends/girlfriends" is not the way to make a family, if anything, it destroys families, because if there is no commitment, there is no family. this "shackin up" and living LIKE family is a false ideology, destined to ruin.

this girl was "layin up with duke" to what end? till duke found another girl to lay up with?

are we so afraid of commitment that we cannot marry our women, so we use them until we find another flavor?

we better wake up before we find we are dead

[GreenKidGreenKid]

The last sentence is incorrect. The president is NOT the leader of the free world.

And THAT is EXACTLY the type of thinking which, unless corrected, will keep brothers fighting brothers.

We live in the American Empire, built by Mr. Corporation. And he doesn't give a fuck about ANY of us, Black OR White.

FIGHT THE FALSE PROFIT!

[geraldtilley]

Gross. UP IN HERE

[B2kcookies]

Preach it !

I thank God for what y'all ar doin'.....

Jesus is the answer to all of this....!

[eier]

@B2kcookies Well, anything that offers discipline and self-control. I'm pretty sure Ameena is a Muslim.

[LeftEdit]

good doc. dude at the end needs to get his head checked, obama aint no leader of the free world, he killing people all over Iraq Afghanistan Pakistan Palestine.

[jamie201120]
