This also. I dont know how many times i got caught up in stupid beefs.. Whats sad tho is alot of them dont want to do this type of stuff, but its the only way you can stay cool with everybody.One summer we had beef with people who live up the street from us. I didnt want to beef with them. but what is a person suppose to do when your whole block is beefing with them?So i went along like an idiot.. Dudes was waitng for us. Luckily nothing popped off.So afterwards i started staying in the house and playing Quake 2 for most of the summer.. haha they went without me and was shot at( noobdy was hit ). and one was stabbed.. Imagine if I kept caving in to peer pressure.


edit: and the whole thing started because one of the boys up the street had a Tv in his car , came thru our block to say wassup to my brother.. Some of us thought he was trying to stunt..

Thank you. Quake 2!!
Sadly, most of this shootings are pure caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Quake 2 saved your life though :wow:

speaking of wages, the mayor is trying to get the chicago minimum wage up to $15. if that were to happen, I find it hard to believe employers are going to go out of their way to hire these street nikkas over other candidates :yeshrug:

not to mention the influx of job candidates who will come here from the suburbs and northwest indiana to work further diluting the candidate pool.

8.25 to 15 is a JUMP.

I was making 6.67 at Jewel Osco. imagine me making 15 an hour IN high school:takedat:

Anytime people discuss "why Chicago" too much time is spent on race. This is not a "black problem".

Here is a list of the top 15 global cities (the top cities in the world according to their importance to global commerce) and their murder rates.

Singapore 0.4
Tokyo 0.5
Hong Kong 0.6
Berlin 1.0
Sydney 1.0
London 1.4
Toronto 1.7
Amsterdam 1.8
Paris 4.4
New York 6.0
Los Angeles 7.5
Mexico City 8.0
Moscow 9.6
Sao Paulo 15.6
Chicago 19.4

Paris, Amsterdam, Moscow are all pretty pale. Still have murders. So let's move beyond race and talk about the real common factor with every city that has a crime problem.

CONCENTRATED URBAN POVERTY.

Any solution to the problem has to start with the elimination of poverty zones. Almost nobody rises up in this world all on their own. Every success story includes a friend, family member, neighbor, mentor, local business, school, etc that plays an important part. If everyone around you is in the same economic situation, there's very little chance of finding opportunity around you.

This is a network problem. These kids need better opportunities and unfortunately those opportunities have to come from outside their immediate surroundings.

How do we set up these opportunities and how we motivate them to seek out opportunities to make connections that can take them beyond the only life they know? Magnet schools, open enrollment, etc are a good start. But those are typically only for the top achievers. There has to be more done for the kids that need to grow into ambition.

Personally, I think programs that include kids/teens and adults in sports, arts, and common interests where they can pick something they're interested in and interact with adults from different areas and different economic backgrounds has the best chance of succeeding. Basketball should probably be the first.

Too many people quit playing sports after high school. Only a small amount play in college and even smaller after. That should change. Mixed age group sports teams/clubs are common for other sports around the world. Extend AAU beyond kids. Create a national amateur league. Use corporate sponsors to fund it. In the very least, kids will be interacting with adults from different situations than the ones they're currently in. It will show them there are other lives they could lead. At best, maybe they get a line on a job.

My point is, being broke doesnt make you a bad dad. You will see when you become a father that just your presence is doing half the work. Now if the father is no good, well the child is partly fukked regardless of the dads bank account.

Now i do agree that if the father is somebody with a skillset than the child will most likely have a better life.. But you can still teach your child right from wrong , show him why where you failed in life..


For the drug dealers, ya most of them were spending their money on stupid stuff. They chose the game because of the older heads they would see with money and the attention they would get, not because they didnt have other skillsets or were poor. Here in West baltimore we have a couple of vocational schools from computer programming , CAD to car repairs. why arent these programs making a difference here? because affer school lets out they have to go home and thats where the problem is..


people seem to dislike when I say most of our problems now are culture issues, I knew kids who were doing well in high school but all of a sudden fell victim to the streets because they werent fitting in..looking back now, im not sure how the hell i made it out.

You can't be a broke, bum ass nikka in this day and be a good father...you just can't. The world has evolved to be very materialistic and power based. Even the best child will only respect a broke dad but so far. This isn't little house on the Prairie.

You have to get deep into the psyche of drug dealing to understand why, even though most of them can't articulate WHY.

Drug dealers have the same composition as the people who founded this country. Or the people who refuse to conform to the wage slavery everyone is trapped in.

White think tanks know this but won't give credibility to it. It goes against white supremacy. A system in which you MUST such some white dikk along the way. You must work to make some white elitist richer.

Why you think they are so hard on drug dealers, because they actually care about people doing drugs? fukk no!

Drug dealing gave blacks a chance to live good, tell cac's to kiss their ass, and otherwise buck white supremacy. They must villainized it as much as possible.

do you really think this is all about having fathers? I seriously doubt that
s
Its not all but its where it start. The common thing you'll find among all of them is the father wasnt around. They were raised by grandma or a single mother..

lets use chief keef as an example, he's got like 2 kids plus one on the way, do you think he'll be a positive influence and role model to his children?
