My point is that we can't keep making excuses. I'm tired of it. We need to enlighten them and help them understand white supremacy. I already know that the conditions are set for them to fail. And once again, as someone who did some bangin, loss friends to bangin' and to this day know people who bang, and I watch kids go from preteens who play ball, to crips who smoke trees all day, it's not,for survival. They are just misinformed. Gotta understand when you grow up in the hood, there's a lot that comes with that. I can't remember a time in my life where I could just focus on school. So many distractions and so many detours,available. You go from being 12 years old and playing with your friends, to watching the statistics get to work on them, and they end up dead or in jail Or with babies they cant afford. There's so much room for disaster I'm the hood. Especially when you're young because your mind is still figuring everything out. When I was bangin, I didn't do it because I felt like I was a part of nothing, I did it because my friends were doing it and I was a follower, which is the case for a lot of kids. The solution, is to get them to buy into success. Let them know that there's a world out there that's there to be taken.that's because of your limited definition of survival, if kids with solid GPA's are abandoning school in favor of feeling like they belong to something, that speaks volumes about their self worth, I know kids like this too, and after having open discussions with some of them, it's evident that acceptance is something many of them need for survival.
choosing to be in a gang just to be a part of something is also choosing to be in a gang because you feel like you're a part of nothing.
that's how it is in all the Black neighborhoods across the country that have gangs, where can I tell these young men to go get a job at that's more lucrative than robbing?
goverment assistance, public education public libraries, public transportation etc. I got a library card in my wallet for a township I aint never lived in my life the excuses is bullshyt to me fam and I started out in in section 8The U.S. military is the biggest gang in the world
Are you telling black members in the military who have the OPTION of not joining that they are doing the same thing?
Lets make a thread on that
nikkas are born behind the 8ball already..Im a square but im sympathetic to the struggle...
Cats who don't know better wont do better...The hood has suffered thru at least 2 generations of by design sabotage....How can you not be sympathetic to that
What resources are available to these nikkas to actually make them well rounded adults?
As long as
Education is free and unless you live in detriot the schooling is capable of letting you "make it out"
and if you do live in detriot you need to leave
who's gonna feed these kids and nurture them while they're getting an education, their healthy two parent home environment in the innercity?
I know a 15 year, who's very smart, he's a gang member and sells drugs because his single mother needs help keeping bills paid, he got caught with drugs a few months back and has been in jail ever since, I couldn't offer him any alternatives, I couldn't tell him to go read books or get a job, he is the man of his household at 15, no book can immediately get him out of that.

We don't grow up with family vacations, or boat trips. We don't grow up knowing there's a world out there, or with our parents having enough disposable income to take a trip somewhere. We grow up seeing the same streets. The same fukked up racist cops. Our parents mad at us all of the time like we asked to be here, The same blocks, the same trains, the same addicts, the same piss and Dutch guts In the hallway, losing friends to gang life,or guns, FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS. Until you say fukk THIS shyt and either get involved with the bangin and dealin' or make a plan and get out. I chose the latter.
It's as simple as that.
He's 15, he has an abundance of one of the most powerful resources of all (TIME). You could tell him damn near anything and it would be a better look than what he is now. You could save his life instead of pitying him and giving that bullshyt a pass
Not literally saying "fukk this" brehif it was as simple as saying "fukk this", the entire world would look much different than it does now.
you made a plan, I commend you, we can look at the real world and see how few in the hood are doing the same, this isn't about making excuses, it's about telling the truth, if these kids are doing it to be down, it's because they feel like they need to be down, that's a reality, not an excuse, we can call it stupid or dumb but it doesn't change the reality that these kids want to be a part of something and the gangs are welcoming them with open arms into the family that they desire acceptance from.

There's people who come into this country peniless, unable to speak the language of the majority of the residents and manage to find a lane and raise families. People float to this country without two sticks to rub together knowing full well they aint playing fair, but come anyway for the OPPORTUNITY. There's no excuse. they are brainwashed into their "hopelessness"
you don't need to be well rounded to get the ground work moving on a middle class+ lifestyle. Just need a little bit of vision. The problem is these africans don't wanna be middle class or climb the ladder rung by rung. They wanna fukk bytches RIGHT NOW and wanna be like the rappers on tv and the dudes who shyttin on them in the club.
Neither could sellin drugs and gang banging even without the risks attached. couldn't have been that smart to not realize that

...he has time but bills need to be paid now, he doesn't have the luxury of waiting around. give me an example of something I can tell a 15 y/o who's mother depends on him to supplement her income.
I didn't give him a pass at all, but I also couldn't offer him any tangible solutions either.
How many bills his momma got? You don't need need to sell white full time to afford a got damn water and electric bill in the hood. you could afford that shyt on a mcdonalds salary or selling dime bags full time. He pay rent or something too? tbh sound like he was runnin pity game on you but idk the guy so...he has time but bills need to be paid now, he doesn't have the luxury of waiting around. give me an example of something I can tell a 15 y/o who's mother depends on him to supplement her income?

Not literally saying "fukk this" breh
I mean that as in weighing your options and analyzing your future. A lot of these kids do shyt on impulse, they don't know about statistics or the conditions that are set for them, and schools do a shytty job by teaching them things that don't really matter. If more hood kids KNEW the statistics, knew that they're supposed to have kids, and knew that they were supposed to cut school and pick up that blunt, and knew that white supremacy haa unconsciously taught them to hate themselves, then we'd see change. Fact is, a lot of us think that this shyt is normal, that the need to bang and the need to dropout is "natural", and not because we've been programmed since the day we were born to be attracted to alol of this negative shyt. A Lot of them think they're doing what's best for them, in reality they're doing what's best for white people.
Like I said, I had a rough upbringing myself, child services, abuse, all that, but I was a reader. And that helped me be aware, it saved my life just having a basic understanding of America by the time I was 15. Which is the age where it all starts to kick in. The only hope is to make them aware, because from their first breath, the self-hate and insatiable urge to be both destructive and self-destructive is taught. Most of them don't know that they're ruining their lives.
that's the problem when we have these discussions, it always comes down to "if I could do it then why can't they", not taking into account that your situations may be wildly different or that what YOU as an individual might be able to handle, others may not. we also get silly made up statistics pulled outta the air like:
can we get receipts on this, I highly doubt it.
