The root cause of a lot this, will always be poverty, proximity and discrimination which manifest into various other avenues.A lot of nikkas that live in environments like these are a bunch of FamousDexters. Dudes who are gang members but as soon as they get rich pretty much drop affiliation.
If we were given proper reparations (what we’re owed) a lot of these problems become small.
The reason why some many people get caught up in gangs is due to a lack of opportunity or foresight, if a young person engaged in something then they don't really have time to be in the street like that.
It just doesnt work out that way. There's legit no time for it.
