Then what you feel does not mean that you are a good school would over the truth. If you from some weird seek a sort of broader missiles would be always surprised if im so sure it was so but if you google something university a pang cant be the university on 40th street and you could make one shine you know on the bottom you want to get if youve got a project.

Anywhere in this city and this urban in any urban area if you have an event of some light you got people to come out with good intentions dear you always got people that might not have good sense and if you live in and so much poverty you know you got guys in a ghetto and guys you know who have things that are nice things materialistic then you have whats called the wolves in the wolves or oh you know thats it danger to whoever you are whether youre a working man of a jug bill is so its like you know like right now it is cold out so you see people want stuff like this this had i dont chancel all black men so you know me im a musician and im an actor and im a activist so i dont want to trouble but somebody else walking out you know it is what it is is what it is.

Liquor store. Farmer seems we have Beauty Supply stores so this is like a one stop shop like you come here and do everything it was a growing community during the seventys and eightys and this is all tell more. What happened here like any other Community Going to seventys and eightys it was a high volume of drugs and as you can see this idea became a Drug Trafficking environment lot of drugs and with that being said some of those stores some of the buildings just deteriorated because of the traffic of drugs and with that a little bit of violence people get shot. The crime now is undercover because. Its different drugs different drugs pills pills pills a very popular these days very popular pills are very popular people grandmothers dont feel safe walking here with groceries a mother dont feel safe would bring her son here to maybe take him to get something to eat. Just all the tiling things kind of deter it is one dell. Told me they havent seen miles up this way to the most nicest neighborhoods of pennsylvania more grimoires making to find a. Lower merion area a Great School District which you could see blocks that way the 2nd in one case where just a couple days ago a guy got to get the gas station got shot 16 times because these you go up here to know marion after School Programs computer.

Miles theres 2000000 miles of a difference because because theyre going to hes already looking at these like the they look at bandit is right living in a look at the way they look at b. That is so my 2nd floor light is on let me somebody live in it right 1st floor of my not in the regulated but nobody lives in some i would want to 2nd floor you know people that live around here some sound dont even have to go to miles that way right some people even know what little money looks like measure a kid they go to sleep at night they dont eat right and its cool this just a reality right here. Its not like just some pretty. Young. So right now youre still is baltimore this is looks old housing projects everyone live close together close together so everybody know each other around it as you can see is a rough Neighborhood Drugs Police Brutality high crime rate and diet what we eat is is messed up we dont have good food were all here to eat you have Grocery Stores where families like buy snacks like mills high poverty. Low education rate. Tain pregnancy. A lot of killings mindless shooting round here a lot of my friends lost their lives. In his neighborhood.

Look its a jungle so an example youve got to act like a lion amongst other lines that act like a beast a must of the beast so this is survival of the fit is at the rose form you have to survive people minds can expand if theyre close together to 1st trade it in they dont know how to express themselves that was cool of ballots the government designed these housing projects and they keep people suppress. I believe that the environment that you grow up into is a huge part as to what you experience you know i as well as what you become when you grow up. Oftentimes in pittsburgh people die in specific locations they utilize the flowers and teddy bears or create a memorial on the spot. So hopefully as a reminder to continue to reinforce why. Not going the negative route or the dark route. In my adult life ive had 6 friends that have been murdered via gun violence in homewood. One was working as a bartender at a local bar and a patron came in and decided to shoot him inside the bar another young woman named jennys toe and she was murdered in a bar of the street from the y. M. C. A. Because she didnt want to give her phone number to a gentleman that was there and then theres another one of our friends named Frederick Douglas that was murder right on on franks on avenue not sure for what for what reason exactly but all these places are within. 2 minutes of the y. M. C. A. Which is unique because thats where a lot of our kids go. Basketball is a easy game for kids to pick up on because all you need is a vast. You can get lost in the game for hours or years or even a lifetime for some people like Michael Jordan or kobe bryant. In the columns of a motivation and more importantly in gives them an opportunity to excuse. A lot of kids look up to athletes and entertainers so he want to be rappers for the next lebron james or they want to be their neighborhood against the Neighborhood Drug deal thats fascinating into so kids they get chance to see in their bombing and they have options was like evil you selling crack rock or you got a wicked jumpshot in order to excrete the hood. Market and. Its. Going to let. Me go for the. Sole judge of a man for the day. This was some of the best of his was the. Deal and she. Let me also so like you shall before. Class was amongst. Them and so you would you guys cannot be your real bad people. All of the reasons were because there was division you know in the principle behind dividing thats why members were United States of america. Right it states. This whole area was black so what happened was they put dead highway didnt care that put the highway right down the middle right smack down the middle. Of this most prosperous inner City Community jackson ward which actually was named black wall street this was prosperous and then they divided it right here and as we crossed over into this section youre going to see the transitional. Government housing became high crime drugs everything in addition to the highway as i mentioned some of the black own businesses left their businesses to go to other areas this area right here and then became the ghetto this is one of the high crime areas right now and its received a difference here book seize government housing. You know businesses. Welfare food stamps you get hooked you get hooked and basically you just barely get along and youre living off of the government see blacks did better when we didnt get help. We were getting help we did better because we had to were forced to do for ourselves where you start giving people help and paying them then this what happens these people are used to a check which is only enough for them to live in this kind of condition who wants to open up a business in a high crime area. Because then youd rather. Just show small seemed wrong all right old rules just dont call. Me that is yet to shape out just to become educated and in gains from an equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area rush up. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. Theres a low number of opportunities here in western pennsylvania as well as so not only did industries move but a lot of our people moved as well which forced even more businesses to basic strangely difficult to run a business in a place like home with just one theres not a a lot of people there and then too the people there dont have the necessary means to take advantage of extra things one of the unique businesses that has been able to been a steadfast place to look to and what i think theyre you know at least 50 years old and mr mr bundy has been there you know making. Making those donuts for for kids to make sure that they have. Before they went to school for 4 generations upon generations so even in those situations where if mom and dad couldnt take care of a kids knew that they could go to the bakery and grab a donut or grab something to make sure that they had so food in order to get through today so. I dont know how they did it but they found a way to be a constant presence in that neighborhood despite what has gone. On they were good or bad you know i am very compliant with homework here. Were lutherans from. Their ear i dont see any new businesses coming in right now. Big companies of 3. Fell away maybe meet their quota here were never a Company Called for gone forward in our 500 careers you know i thought long theyd been out of here. You know. Thats just a tough par in a round the guns in murders did take place right south avenue was one of the busiest roads in western pennsylvania as one of the longest and strangest rows so people arrive from the a fluent neighborhoods outside of western pennsylvania and they ride through through traffic every single day to go to work which is crazy if you go on a news itll say you know somebody got murdered in the home with us so its not a place that you want to pull over and stop and maybe grab a donna in coffee rather go see traffic. You know. Weve got he has those. Most number one. Most one of the capital murder. Somethings not. Told was your food and how it impacted because you. Thought it was thought it was. Enough to sell the food. So make a living. Out of what will feed. So what. So the big. Head i want to. Do is like controlled. Behavior but our city you know what we used to get out of. This is what. You got to. You know we know. We had a bottom you have to. Make a name for yourself from where you are right now with capital that is comparing it to like a war zone. Baltimore. In saudi arabia. Is probably crazy yeah. My senior year i found that i was having a baby by a woman that i wasnt going to marry so i dropped out of school was living out of my parents house was broke and started dabbling in some things that i didnt need to dabble and put myself in a situation to almost be murdered in 2011 as a result of that experience thats when i made a decision to start doing what i do what i did it was a Basketball Team to start to focus more in on my basketball or. Basketball or the competition with yourself. You have to conquer yourself. Its a game where you have to learn to share and play with your teammates and more importantly compete against the other team as well as the environment. When people think about the ball they dont look at it in that aspect where you break it down because its a personal battle its a battle of amongst your team and other people. Its a battle moshi you and the environment. Is a game of skill its a game of aggression. And physicality where youre forced to tremble youre supposed to shoot. Or force and do a lot of things that people take for granted in every day movement. Just that that passion that ive been able to maintain from my childhood and carry over into my adulthood is what is allowed me to be so much different than everybody else and create an opportunity where people say that we could hope to work to find other children in the fathers neighborhoods primarily in homes where i started up as marble its to teach them how to harness that energy and maintain that energy into their adulthood so then they can continue like i said to do some of the things that ive done if not hopefully take it further and further and further down the. Line. So will be one also right now is a war. Losing too many people every day on every day i dont want to stick my life in philly put up are you to somebody and thats the number of law who is show us in the woman who would remain income almost a mother who got a how to seen what mothers have to bury the black sun bird. And thats just the thing isnt as is this plan is not to put it i dont want to see people getting killed this were you griego i dont see people getting to russia i think you should only see people you should see that those. Crime rate is based on no drug use. You know people who didnt kill for anything. 95 percent of the crimes. Or least 85 percent of croutons is drug related. You know were a weirdo right now and currently were the number one. Murder capital in United States we also number one in her way and addiction here. Why because we have the port which is right there were willing to the edge of the east coast so a lot of things come through the ports and stuff the way kids get involved with drugs growing up and in a city soon as you step outside your door. Being go youre right there. Actually some i may add when you step outside your door stus me do you know im just a wee from scuse me you know thats a dont. Mean you know got some coke or scuse me you know got some pills. Right now in the community is going through a change because it changes going on in his community because john hopkins in a real estate value is going up so a lot of these residents is not going to be here to do too much longer and theyre going to bring in the good food because its already solved everything is about spacing right now everything so you got. Well you got wealthy People Living next to late poor people. So eventually to poor people its going to get its going to its not going to be around anymore. Theyre moving a poor people out to the county this way so homeowners. They give them vultures in voters meaning give you access to another house you dont have to pay me money just move right on it good thing about it you may be away from the city so right now the city is a growing. Epidemic of just like well the conflict is is no inclusion for the people as they are ready. Best to call flick the conflict is theres no inclusion everyone does a resident right now. Theyre not included in no future plans best the conflict. Desk changing because donald trump. Donald trump is sending you oh basket full of contaminated food it already had to end in there and people do not like so donald trump has really stepped in and a lot of people who really have freedom of choice you dont have a freedom of choice which you know youre eating with the government giving you can usually call it a go get food at a market mail mistake yet if youre on the welfare you want to have their donald trump basket piece and then you like go to a basket full of food that you government good so you cant theres no more purchases things are changing in the rich want access to the city. In with that comes. Just occasion a lot of things get exposed right. You know. A lot of people go to church. And. You know they give offerings and speak in bed when they want to listen im just thinking from my observation but at the same time when theyre in the. Same people that they were a lot of spurs will never be there for them financially and it never has. The fingers together youre going to squeeze your hand in and make sure you figure stays off sure. Youre going to disposition and then make sure you set your hand in properly bring the gun up and keep it i love ok all right so the top.
