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...

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..

[TAHR3LL]

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..

[TAHR3LL]

....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..
