Ohh little Message to this Brother in the Video. Don't give up on your Education No matter what people say. If people make fun of your English say I'm better than you and I can speak 2 language. Don't ever let anyone take your happyness away from you. Be happy all the time and smile. Be positive and you will reach your dreams(: successful people don't give up so never give up. You will be proud of yourself when you get you dreams. And Remember You Can Do Anything you want or Be!!!

I love Somalia Veryyy Much and I'm Somali Girl. No one will ever turn me Down or my Goal/Dream. Miss Home Verry much and I can't wait the day I'll go back(: that day will be the happiest day of my life wallahi!! I always dream of going back and walking in Somali streets. It's always had been fun for me to spend time in my homeland(: spending time with my best friends/families. Man I miss all the great things!!

[Mabd1202]

And Yes I'll go back to my homeland anytime soon right after I finish my study in U.S. I would very recommend all of my people Never Ever Give Up Your Dream! Who cares if people around you are being racist. It's not like you don't have country. Yes we will all go back to our sweet home after we done our education and help people in our country!

[Mabd1202]

Im very sorry boy): in U.S there's bad and good people. I met alot of White Americans and some of them are really good and some of them are really soo bad but I don't really give fuck. Who cares if they don't like me or where I came from. At least I'm very proud of myself that I'm African and I love my country veryyyyy much. I love my country more than any other countries.

Keep doing your thing bro. Fuck the police and keep your head up high.

Man don't think Police treat you like that because your Black.95% of baltimore is black community.I do not condone the officer's actions but I bet Somali Police is far worse and more brutal.Baltimore criminals are tough and Police has to be tougher.Hopefully this doesn't happen to decent people again.Just keep fighting and don't let this incident discourage you.
