I actually agree. But sometimes good people do bad things for all of the right reasons. I’m trying to give the youth alternatives to gangs but again I am disturbed by the soccer system.

Lester, go read again my story. My mother told me I was a blessing from God and their is a purpose for me and so on. I din;t say that. I have no idea why I'm here. I'm just here talking to you. I will tell my mom what you said. She will get a good laugh from it
No, I've read your story 1,275 times already. I'm not reading it again. And I don't want to read your kid's story again, either. She can be a GOAT, I'll wish her the best and that's the end of that.

Society hasn’t cheated me. I’m blessed. I was also fortunate to be mentored by very successful white men that grew up poor. The other was always rich and was raised by a black nanny. I consider them all family.
I guess it’s my turn to mentor. I don’t want to do it because of the childhood trauma.
I wish I was as resilient as your family. I have achieved great success in life but it doesn’t erase the pain. Maybe I’m the reluctant messiah. IDK, just trying to keep kids out of gangs and very frustrated with the current system.

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.

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.
Noun Gang= an organized group of criminals
Verb (a number of people) form a group or gang.
"the smaller supermarket chains are ganging together to beat the big boys"

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.

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?

No. But it might save the next young man.

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.
