Chicago is NOT a third world country. There are a lot of areas and hoods where regular black folks work and chill and raise kids quietly.
These lil niccas are NOT out here starving like that. Everyone has food and a place to stay.
But there are a lot of People are too comfortable being fcuk ups.
A whole generation of black folks let us down here, we conceded a lot of clout and jobs to hispanics (no diss)
I blame ALL of the fukkery on the breakdown of the black family and lack of parenting.
It's too culturally acceptable here to just be an unemployed street nicca, parents won't push their kids, females will still date and have children with them, knowing how the story will end, and no expectation for anything different.
I lived 30 years of my life in the 100's in Roseland, grew up there, and eventually bought my own home in another part of the same hood. Went to a high school that was so bad they decided to wipe the slate, closed it and re opened it as a whole different school with different administration and teachers after i left.
I am a father of 4 black children still living on the south side..
80% of these murders are black on black crime. Lil Niccas killing each other over Facebook twitter and Youtube disses.
It's all about p*ssy and pride, these lil bums aren't even fighting over money or power, which is why the cops are clueless how to stop it because it's the definition of "senseless". There's not grand conspiracy or militias, it's nikka shyt, plain and simple, and it's snowballing out of control.
My best friend is a social worker, and every day she see's the BS, NO ONE is taking care of these kids.
Mama had em young and still trying to live her life, daddy was never around.
Be mad I'm saying it, fine. But this is the very very very very very very real situation in this city.
It's not even falling thu cracks at this point, it's becoming the norm, and it's scary.
Fear of my pops kept me out of a lot of dumb shyt growing up that my friends fell into looking for guidance and "love".
Now these lil dudes are out here wilding, and they're strapped, and they don't even want your love. I really don't know what the solution is, and it's sad.
