Baltimore having the worse year in a decade or so with murder and drug crime.

Police brutality doesn't stop the consequences of a nikka owing you money for too long. 400 years of circumstances led to conditions like this and peeps here thinking it's gonna get fixed in a week

Breh, I've seen/hear of ppl getting killed for NOTHING, WORDS, LOOKS, almost every day it seems. 400 years of anything has nothing to do with these ignorant ass nikkas running around killing each other over nothing. Yes, it may have led to some of the "conditions" but if that's the case wouldn't it be wise to pull together to overcome the conditions? Not shoot each other, just because? Most of the times now days it doesn't even have to do with somebody owing money

Breh that type of hate is and always will be a problem in the hood. We talking about the have nots, where the most aggressive dude wins. I grew up in that shyt. It's sad but that's the type of environment where people hate to see others succeed, and it's easier to make a point by punching a nikka in the face instead of talking it out. To me that hatred and distrust is the culmination of blacks being denied opportunities to build wealth, being zoned into neighborhoods that were more commercial than residential, living in environments where basic services like garbage pickups were minimal at best, being fed negative images in the media constantly...you make monsters that way fam. No way around it

My thing about this whole pull together and do something shyt is it's easier to do when you have opportunities, but when you lack them its damn near impossible. To be honest I think it's the job of the more upward and mobile black folks to band together and do something. We may not be able to change the mentality of the hood, but we can create a new environment with a changed mentality. To me that's the more realistic thing.

I know teens that have been shot dead with a shotgun for something as simple as liking a young nikkas girl pic on facebook.

And I know you're telling the truth because that's the type of shyt I hear about almost everyday

I definitely hear you and nothing you said is wrong. I was born and raised in the hood too which is why I KNOW there's other ways to go about doing things. I'm not better than anyone else, but the nikkas who are stuck in the hood and feel like it's easier just to hit another man and take what that man earned are there and doing these things by choice. There's always options. Yes there's a lot of obstacles in the way but that's just a part of life (black life)...these dudes gotta get past the obstacles that are in the way but they'd rather take the easy route (in their opinion) which is staying in their hood.

And no doubt the older generations should have BEEN did something to try to steer the younger crowd in the right direction, but they didn't/don't. They try to an extent but it's just not enough. I hate to say it but it's too late. I just can't see it getting any better

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

So what should we do, I've done the protests, I'm raising strong black kids who know wtf is up. How do we ever make America home? Where we can walk down the street and not be a suspect? I'm glad things are seeming to get better here, but how to we get to the point where black people are just as American as anyone else, or is that even possible.

Is that you in your avi?

We have to rebuild brehs. The Black Race is being destroyed in front of our eyes. The main thing that is killing our people is the disease of single parent households and broken families. It's the new slavery .

Are we that selfish

I heard that shyt in the early 90's. Black men were supposed to be extinct by now, yet we are growing, and becoming stronger as a whole. Yeah, we have a lot of clowns givingnus a black eye but all this talk about how worse off we are is a joke. Be careful what you listen to or watch because overtime it will have you believing lies. You should only want the truth, and what's right, anything else is just tainting you to become the same thing you hate. How do you think sambos are made? They watch fox news, and anything that make blacks look bad.

I was replying to the quote saying we are killing ourselves, and I'm telling you, I heard the same thing in the early 90's. Even I fell for it, until I seen it was an exaggeration for at least half of us. If you actually read the statistics, its getting better for us, not worse. It is getting worse for some, I agree, but they don't represent all. I seen with my own eyes how we grew, that is why I don't put my energy into the negative shyt anymore. You will be steady complaining, and seeing the negative, while the good in life will be oblivious to you, and life will be dreary. I'm not going through that shyt again. I truly believe that is exactly what our enemies want because a negative person will never make power moves, they are always trying to escape their negative feelings in some type of way. You can't build if you are fighting. This can be mentally, not only physically.

If you see it in your family, separate yourself or you would be just like them, and become a negative person.
