You have clubs along HWY80. You don't have the ECNL choices others do but I see girls from Diablo, etc. playing in college. And I know there are lower profile comp clubs in those areas.

I’m hopeful about Diablo and looking to work with them in the near future. I’m already in contact with the DOC. I have to figure out something different for my target demographic because I can’t depend on help from their parents. I’m thinking of a after school program focusing on academics and soccer.

Gang life is glorified in all the RAP music. That's why I laugh when I hear Nipsey Hussle was some kind of hero. Really? Drive into the hood in a $150k Mercedes, wearing 3 gold chains, and tell kids "don't do what I did." Seriously? Maybe that needs to stop being considered a good thing in certain communities.

I don’t agree. I just came to realization that I’m officially a big homie from the hood. Do you know what it means to be a big homie outlaw?

I love this song because it epitomizes how I’m feeling now. listen to the lyrics of this song. What’s so negative?

I find it pretty hilarious to wear colors, point guns at the camera, throw gang signs, promote drugs, make all your women look like whores, use the N-word every 10 seconds but complain it's offensive if others do and then cry that you're profiled. I'm not sure the rest of America has a low enough IQ to follow along. Makes it hard to think everyone else is the problem, doesn't it? I see a lot of self inflicted gunshots in RAP videos.

I'll have to google the lyrics and read them. Hard to understand more than every 5th word of what he's saying.
 
Yeah... halfway into the 2nd verse, it isn't any easier to read it than it is to listen to it. I mean, what is this shit? Nevermind.

[Verse 2]
Ever catch a sucker loafin', then you gotta cook him (Mop)
It get chilly in the trench, I need a Mozzy hoodie (Mozzy)
Lookin' for consistency when I be copping Cookie (Uh-huh)
I'm in love with your hustle, baby, not your pussy
How you run me out the hood and I'm the one who run it? (Huh?)
I'm the one that make sure Auntie 'nem don't want for nothin'
I'm the one that motivate 'em, baby, ask the youngins
Told 'em re-up with the twenties, gotta stack the hundred
Ayy, we just thuggin' tryna rap, you a rapper thuggin'
Went to sleep inside that abandoned building after hustlin'
You switched sides at the slide, it was all for nothing
Why you cop a Hellcat if you ain't doggin' nothin'?
I ain't tryna split the profit, either all or nothin'
Finna take my girly face to terrorize the mall or somethin'
We never cry 'bout a snitch's death, he had it bomin'
I seen ten fifty times 'fore I sold a hundred

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm guessing it wasn't white oppression that killed him. It's interesting that a black man is 10 times more likely to be murdered by another black man, than a cop or white person, but I see streets blocked off with protests when a black, career criminal dies resisting arrest. Honest question... will people in his community protest the actions of the killer? Will they "snitch" on the murderer or "We never cry 'bout a snitch's death, he had it bomin'"?

Funny because the words are crystal clear to me and all the youth that consume it. I didn’t see any scantily clothed and objectified women either. You are conflating.
My generation turned the N word into a term of endearment to desensitize us from the pain of the word; it’s a controversial topic in the black community though. I was very surprised last summer when the use of the N word was covered in my kids majority white ATDP class.

Telling on who did it is not going to bring him back.
 
I feel like you’re either intentionally obtuse or can’t understand facts that don’t support your viewpoint.
Slavery may have been decades ago, but the residual impact of the civil rights fight is still being felt today. It’s not hard to grasp that the ramifications of being marginalized has massive and lasting influence of generations of black families. And racist policies and practices are in place to this day that undermine black progress and mobility. I suggest you watch 13th on Netflix and come back on here and share what you’ve learned.

What is so negative in the song?

Perhaps the bit where someone dies? Or the part where the singer rationalized selling drugs as the only way to get by? Or the reference to killing someone as people fight over the right to sell more dope?

Plenty negative in that song. Those ideas are toxic. How is a kid going to keep a job if he thinks selling dope is the only way to fill the fridge?

I’m not sure we’re listening to the same song. He’s telling a story about living in the hood. He’s not glamorizing the life. He even says that gangs aren’t glamorous, he motivates the young, he’s the one that makes sure the elderly don’t want for anything, he wants to take his girl on a shopping spree and that he’s in love with her mind. I think it’s a positive message.
I think living in the hood is toxic and it was before rap. Don’t kill the messenger for reporting the truth. I guess we have to agree to disagree.

That's true... but it might save lives and foster the change you seek rather than calling cops pigs and saying there are way too many black men in prison. How else do these areas get cleaned up? A young man is gunned down and all we'll hear is "cops take forever to show up and don't do anything." Well, I'd get pretty complacent, too, if I couldn't pry any information out of anybody. Why show up at all? You're constantly hated and nobody is willing to help you do your job.

I used to teach math in san jose. The student I most respected was the one who was proud to be a manager at Walmart.

Tough as nails, and had an excellent sense for people. Knew exactly who to help and who was up to something.

Wish the culture could praise people like her.

Conflating? Are you fucking kidding me? You're going to tell me RAP videos don't do what I described? You're going to tell me these lines from the song don't convey a certain message? I mean, what is this shit? Desensitize you from the pain of the word? Does that make ANY sense to you?

Why you cop a Hellcat if you ain't doggin' nothin'?
I ain't tryna split the profit, either all or nothin'
Finna take my girly face to terrorize the mall or somethin'
We never cry 'bout a snitch's death, he had it bomin'

I'ma stand my own ground, a nigga play with me (Yeah)
Sentimental value, never sell the thing you gave to me (On God)
Who the king of Macramento? They gon' say it's me (On God)
I ain't tryna end up in the pen', that shit gay to me (Hell nah)

Who makes "living in the hood" toxic? Who is to blame for that?

Telling will only cause more death and destruction. This happened 9 years ago and it still hurts. I forgive those that did it and hope they find peace. I pray for them everyday because killing an innocent person is a heavy burden to carry for the entirety of your life.
I dealt with it by leaving town and isolating my daughter in TJ. About a year ago I heard a news report about a gang terrorizing the bay area. When I realized this new gang was created in honor of my nephew and to avenge his death I got sick to my stomach. I feel personally responsible for all the people that were victimized by the swerve team. I feel selfish and cowardly for running but I needed time to heal. Hopefully, they all get locked up forever.
I thank an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I’m on this forum trying to save lives and learn the nuts and bolts of running a soccer club. Hopefully I can make soccer and school the new gang but I have to get to them while they are young. They’ll listen to me and take my guidance. Programs for youth saves lives not telling.

I have family that are cops and they’ll tell you that there are serious problems. If you would’ve watched the Netflix documentary recommended you’d know that the prison system is modern day slavery. I also am well aware that defendant’s from my hood don’t get the same type of defense as the defendants in the Wellcare fraud case that I worked on for years.

Again, I'm sorry for the loss of your nephew, but when you're bleeding, you don't just keep wiping the blood away... you put pressure on the wound.
