it's on your mind and what you feel does not mean that you are a good still what over the truth. you from somewhere in sickness or abroad and it's also me always surprised if the answer was so that it was tough like you could go something universal your pain can't visit and university on fortieth street and then you could meet one child and you know on the bottom you want to make it as if you got a prize it. did all of west philly right there are a few of these little blocks like this these little row homes you see people living

on top of each other i guarantee wherever you are from russia or wherever your from you don't even know what a road home is this is called road homes. anywhere in this city and this urban in any urban area if you have an event of some light that 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 guys in a ghetto and guys in other who have things that are nice things about cheerless they said then you have what's called the wolves in the wolves or out in you know that's a danger to whoever you are whether you're a working man of a drug villa so it's like you know like right now it is cold out so you see people want stuff like this this had i don't sense the all black male you know me i'm a musician and i'm an actor and i'm a i'm a activist so i don't want to trouble but. you know it is what it is is what it is .

all right now you are in east baltimore and this is all tell mall this is a mall they should be very famous this is where like a lot of black people like myself week when i was a kid become a vile flows. you have liquor stores pharmacies you have beauty supply stores so this was like a one stop shop like you come here and do everything it was a growing community during the seventy's and eighty's and this is all tell more.

what happened here like any other community going to seventy's and eighty's it was a high volume of drugs and as you can see this are you became a drug trafficking environment lot of drugs and with that being said some of those stores some of the buildings just deterring it because of the traffic of drugs and with that a little bit of violence people get shot. the crime now is undercover because. it's different drugs different drugs pills pills pills a very popular these days very popular pills are very popular people grandmothers don't feel safe walking here with groceries

a mother don't feel safe would bring her son here to maybe take him to get something to eat. all the time things kind of deter it is one day i'll. go make sure it's you miles up this way you know to move nice is neighborhood is a place of being more grimoires recorded trying to show you know marion barry a great school district. you could see blocks that way the second in one case where just a couple days ago a guy got to get the gas station got shot sixteen times because these you go up here to know marion after school programs computer. the football team stuff look like the end. they got all you got everything you got to go show for it try to play sports and even if you do you know it's so expensive you got

a single mother she barely could feed these kids you know which are the most is three hundred dollars on a football she might say to me playing for each of them on a two mile difference a two mile difference to a young person this thirteen fourteen twelve nine. miles there's two million miles of a difference because because if you look at these homes where you look at these like the they look at bandit is i live in a look at the way here to look at be this some might the second floor light is what i mean somebody live in it right the first floor might have a need regulated but nobody lives in some i want to second floor you know people that live around here some sound don't even have to go to miles that well right some people even though lower merion looks like it measures a kid they go to sleep at night they don't know heat right and it's cool this desk over right here. it's not like just some.

so right now you're 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 die what we eat this is messed up we don't have good food we're 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 this neighborhood. people can't get a job they sell drugs spray here you know wave of people to come boom

boom boom boom boom boom. you know and that's how they make winning is uncontrollable you got to survive look. look it's a jungle so an example you've 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 they close together to fluster it it in they don't 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 spot. so hopefully as a reminder to continue to reinforce why. not going the negative route or the dark route. in my adult life i've had six friends that have never heard of you 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 denise tall and she was murdered in a bar of the street from the y.m.c.a. because she didn't want to give her phone number to a gentleman that was there and then there's another one of our friends named frederick douglas that was murder right on on frank's on avenue not sure for what for what reason exactly but all these places are within. two minutes of the y.m.c.a. which is unique because that's where a lot of our kids go. to . basketball is a easy game for kids to pick up on because all you need is a mask. you can get lost in the game for hours or years or even a lifetime for some people like michael jordan or kobe bryant.

if the columns are a motivation and more importantly gives them an opportunity to explain. a lot of kids look up to athletes and entertainers so even want to be rappers for the next le bron james or they want to be their neighborhood gangsta the neighborhood drug deal that's fast the into so kids they get tense to see in their environment and they have options like evil you selling crack rock or you've got a wicked jumpshot in order to excrete the hood. it's . going to.

give me hope for the. soul which i got planned for today. this was some of the best of this was the. feeling she was coming also somebody shot before. us will sometimes lemme tell you what you guys cannot be your real bad people. all of the reasons were because there was division you know in the principle behind dividing that's why remember we're united states of america. i did states. this whole area was black so what happened was they put that highway didn't care to put the highway right down the middle right smack down the middle. of this most

prosperous inner city community called jackson ward which actually was named black wall street this was prosperous and then they divided it right here and as we cross over into this section you want to see the transition. government housing became high crime drugs everything in addition to the highway as i mentioned some of the black owned 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 as we see the difference here book sees government housing. you know businesses . welfare food stamps you get hooked you get hooked and basically you just barely get along and you're living off of the government see blacks did better when we didn't get help. we were getting help we did better

because we had to we're 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 you get robbed. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand out of the news business is just the dance the right questions and demand the right answer. questions.

or. oh my dough from my sixteen novel five months on i simply do not want to. buy this. just foreign. isis fighters and boarding a philippine naval ship. but maybe not for me nad sounding now ninety dollars. just aren't up to the us still don't know what's waiting for them. because it will . be near family and the teachers. can't make it out of. the man from the mines.

or. you know world of big partisan loot lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for washing clothes for watching the hawks. there's a lol lol number of opportunity. he's here in western pennsylvania as well as so

not only did our 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 but just because one there's not a a lot of people there and then to the people there don't 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 at home what i think they're you know at least fifteen years old and mr mr bundy has been there you know making. making those donuts for for kids to make sure that they have food before they went to school for four generations upon generations so even in those situations where if mom and dad couldn't take care of 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 don't know how they did it but they found a way to be a constant presence in that neighborhood despite what has gone.

good or bad you know i'm very compliant we're homeward. lutherans. i don't see any new bridge for them right now. big companies of three. maybe a meager quarter here were never company called for. five hundred years and. i thought long they'd been out of here. you know. that's just itself or in a around 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 straightest rows of people arrive from the

a fluent neighborhoods out on the side of western pennsylvania and they ride through homewood through traffic every single day to go to work which is crazy if you go on a news it'll say you know somebody got murdered in the home so it's not a place that you want to pull over and stop and maybe grab a dominating coffee rather than the same traffic. we've got here is the most number one you know most one of the capital murder. something's not so great. to talk about your food and how it impacted because you thought it was sixty dollars thought it was you start it was sixteen out of gas or know how it all enough to sell a food amount so make a living now was there. it was the same say it's how we got what we're faced i was

angry so when i saw. this finance. so the big. catch i had i want to cut. addict so we tried to add it all you do is like control the habits when we behave but our city you know what we used to get out of poor so we want to sell goods is what i. got a. you know we know. we had a bottom you have to climb all the way about how old you are yet to make a name for yourself primary right now was so high capital that is comparing it to like a war zone actually they say more people are shy in baltimore you know if you go to saudi arabia. it's probably crazy yeah but i really thought it was something probably my. whole crowd a lot more people. my senior year i found out i was having a baby by

a woman that i wasn't 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 didn't need to dabble and put myself in a situation to almost be murdered in two thousand and eleven as a result of that experience that's when i made the decision to start doing what i do what i did it was a basketball team start to focus more on my basketball career. in basketball it's a competition with yourself. you have to conquer your so. it's 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 don't look at it in that aspect where you break it down because it's a personal battle it's about old amongst your team and other people. it's about

almost you and the environment. is a game of skill it's a game of aggression. then physicality where you're forced to cripple you're supposed to shoot. the force and do a lot of things that people take for granted in every day it's. just that that passion that i've been able to maintain from much of the carry over into my adulthood is what is allowed 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 progress neighborhoods primarily in home where i started the pittsburgh bullets 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 are it's not hopefully take it further and further and further.

so sorry it was a war. and to many people every day on every day i don't want to stick my life in philly put up are you to somebody and that's another fatherless show i said no the one who will be meaning come home us a mother who got a time to see what mothers have to very deeply and that's just the thing and as just this plane is awful put it i don't want to see people getting chills and miss where you grieve go i don't need to see people getting chills rush you. don't want to see people you shouldn't feel that those.

primaries based on no drug use. you know people who didn't kill for anything. ninety five percent of the crimes. or least eighty five percent of crimes is drug related. you know we're a weirdo right now currently we're number one. murder capital in united states we also number one in her way addiction here. why because we have the port which is right there we're 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 you're right there. actually somebody may. when you step outside your door stu's mean. do you know what i'm just a wee from scuse me you know that's

a don't. 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 the real estate value is going up so a lot of these residents is not going to be here to do too much longer are they going to bring in the good food because it's already solved everything is about space and right now everything so you've got well you've got wealthy people living next to lake poor people. so eventually the poor people is going to get is going to it's not going to be around anymore. they're moving a poor people out to the county out this way so homeowners. they give them vultures in voters' meaning give you access to another house that you don't have the pain the money just moved on it would think about it you may be away from the city. so

right now in this city there's 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 there's no inclusion everyone does a resident right now. they're not included in no future plans best the conflict. best change and because donald trump. donald trump is sending you oh basket full of contaminated food it already had and in the end people do not like so donald trump has really stepped in a lot of people who really have freedom of choice you don't have a freedom of choice which you know you're eating with the government do. you can usually call it a go get food at a market male mistake yet if you're on

a welfare you want to have the donald for a basket he said when you like go a basket full of food governments in government yet so you know more precious things are changing in the rich want access to the city. in with that comes. just occasion a lot of things give expose right now you know. a lot of people go to church. and. you know they give offerings and you know i'm a speaking bedouin you want to live here i'm just going from my observation but at the same time when they're in the. same people that they were a lot of dispersed will never be there for them financially and it never has.

the fingers together you're going to squeeze your hand in and make sure you figure stays off to your movie to go into this position and then make sure you set your hand in properly bring the gun up and keep it i'm a ok all right so the thought. old saying well ok forget what you saw in the movie sorry if you shoot the way bishop in movies you'll never get anything. where did you work before. capital

punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners. execution and most of the time. very much in favor of the death penalty there are some people because of what they did have given up the right to live among us some even proven. true and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize this is not working and we actually do something about. what we really need is someone from outside. because of. today's day loss. could not enter needed to toss of the.

go in and you may never get out. of. my teenage gang rules here. i don't want to move. my boat. but. the navy will. kill. you. and melanie when. you. see.
