Man I am beyond tired of you nikkas that keep repeating this crap.. Ok I looked up what caused this mess, I have it down on paper. I made a report out of it. I can recycle every fact that you need that caused this situation.
The question is ,
NOW WHAT? The problem with you all that keep saying
"What put us in this situation in the first place", is it leads us no where and makes us look weak.. We are at the point where whatever has caused this, we've taken it and made it into our own and glorified it. Yall killing me with this poor environment crap also. I grew up in Baltimore( I'm sure some of you caught an esp of the wire or 2 ), Most people here are not on some
" I wonder how I'm going to eat today?" Yeah the houses here aren't the best and most don't have money to throw away, but we have liquor stores on every corner, Footlocker or any tennis shoe store all over the place. What the fukk man, I make over 80K a year. I go into some hood stores and they want $60 for some jeans, I'm not paying that much for them, but somebody is keeping them in business.
Onto resources, I see you guys are making another excuse. Yes inner city has it *a lot* harder, but don't make it seem impossible. If these kids have an Instagram account, a twitter account and a facebook account. Then tell me why they don't have an
Khan Academy account? You can subscribe to a rappers YouTube account, but not to an educational one? For the ones who are going to try and hit me with the c00n crap. I do the samethig with my own son. No excuses!!!, If my 10yr old son can learn programming, then these teens have no excuse. At this point its not just the environment, its the culture. You have black males that come from the burbs and decent homes that still want to act a fool and act like they were brought up in the inner city. It use to make me sick when I would go play basketball in some nice areas and see that crap.
Also if you keep pointing to what got us here in the first place, how are we to ever move forward and make things better? Every time something happens, here you nikkas come with , " Well you know this wouldn't of happen if the white man didn't do X and X".
