@chrmunoz The goal of these clips is simple to give you the 'why'. How you feel about it is up to you.

The new cotton field? Who does that idiot think he's kidding? Did whitey make those young brothas shoot each other over basketball shoes? Did whitey make them rob that store? Did whitey deal the drugs? The lack of responsibility in the black community digusts me. STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND BLAMING WHITE PEOPLE! If you want less black people in prison, then get off your asses, work hard, teach your kids right from wrong, and do something in school besides disrupt class and tag up the desks.

@DartmouthAlum96 "The lack of responsibility in the black community digusts me." The lack of responsibility in the American community disgusts me. Why don't you seriously do something productive like reading a sociology book. Society produces the people. We are all a community. STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND BLAMING BLACK PEOPLE!

@dhoushijie You're right about one thing: society does produce people. However, many people in black American society see themselves as victims who are helpless to do anything besides suck up welfare, commit crimes, and complain about whitey. On the other hand, other historically oppressed groups have risen to the highest echelons of U.S. culture. That's because the Jewish society and the Chinese society teach their kids to behave, work hard in school, and not make excuses.

@DartmouthAlum96 Blacks have also made it to the highest echelons of U.S. Culture (The President). Check out the net worth of black households in America and their crime statistics. Both are forms of repression in American society, but if it is more comfortable for you to label a group of people lazy and criminal. The truth of it is, American society is partly to blame as well as the individual person themselves.  Subtle repression still is very strong in our culture.

ya he can't feed his baby, but he still got them rocks on his ear and that chain on his neck

@DartmouthAlum96 From my recollection there are more whites on entitlement programs (by %) than blacks. There are more violent crimes committed by whites against each other than blacks. But, it's CONVENIENT to paint blacks as violent, lazy and apathetic. You need to do more research before making broad generalizations. Also, you need to come up with actual solutions b/c it seems to me you're the one complaining on a video that only seeks to show reality.

All these gang members are still humans. We need to find a way to help them all. But.. How?

In every state there are p[lalces out there whose main purpose is to help people with a criminal record find employment. Part of the problem is that the ex convict is not willing to start at the bottom or feels that certain work is beneath them.Tough it out.Don;t knock jobs at fast food places or janitorial work.Don't give up and sell out by returning to dealing drugs and worst.No one owes you anything.You just have to work extra hard to get back in society.

I also believe that if we are all americans then we arent different races we are all americans under one umbrella.I believe if we can fight along side one another in war for our country then we should be able to fight along side one another for justice,and the fair treatment of all americans.Its not right that Im only a great guy when Im in the armed services,or Im playing major league baseball,football,basketball,o­r Im in the olympics.Dont criticize help someone that needs it.

Children look to other children in the neighborhood and follow them.This is how it began.As far as the government.I believe they could care less about blacks killing blacks or latino on latino or black and latino violence.In fact I believe the violence and mayhem creates big jobs and money.I believe that as long as its in minority communities well then it doesnt matter.Ultimately I believe we should be responsible for our own neighborhoods and our own children.

[musicwizz500]

Baby daddies and baby mamas isnt the way.Children suffer.I believe when there is one woman and several children with different fathers its not a stable or ideal situation.I believe bloods and crips have come out of this type of lifestyle added with poverty and no fathers in the picture.The children are left to ruin.When these fatherless children get a certain age they look to the streets for role models because mom is working to support them and dad is long gone.

[musicwizz500]

I feel like alot of kids wouldnt bang if they had resources in their community.I believe its easy to get involved in criminal activity if theres nothing around you for advancement.I also believe marriage and staying married to one woman is the greatest factor that would change things dramatically.Its important for a man and woman to only have children in wedlock.Children need to be born into a world where their parents are married and under one roof and in love.Children need this union.
