aside from people like this woman there's a larger. group of people who are here for different reasons but also job loss. most people in philadelphia are only about 2 paychecks away from homelessness. the world is. shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

most folks don't like the truth. we're living in a generation. then. is confused just as it relates to the truth. where does have power. in the truth is a myth so built up. donald j.

trump say is. sweet. whatever he feels like saying. tweeting to his own. destruction. ya need to hit me today. just because you say what's on your mind then what you feel does not mean that you are a good still what over the through. you

from somewhere you seek a certain pride in itself would be always subproducts in some subtle stuff like you go from university a pang campus and university on 40th street and you can make one shine you know on the bottom you want to get if you've got a project. the west will be right very cool these little blocks like this these little row homes you see people living on top of each other i guarantee wherever your from russia where they go from the only thing i know to vote home is this is called road home. anywhere in this city and this urban in any urban area if you have an event of some light you've got people to come out with good insentient you always got people that might not have good sense to live in and so much poverty you know you've got guys in a ghetto and guys another who have things that are nice things materialistic shit and you have what's called the wolves in the wolves 0 in you know that's it danger to

whoever you are whether you're a working man bill is 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 translate all black mail so you know me i'm a musician and i'm an actor and i'm a activist so i don't want to trouble but somebody else walking out you know it is what it is is what it is. all right now you are in east baltimore and this is all tell me all this is a mall this is the right same as like a lot of black people like myself with when i was a kid become a bio close. little

store. farmer scenes we 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. we're happy 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 and buying a. 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 are 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 so just over tiling things kind of deter you just one day i'll. go make it seem miles up this way to the most nicest neighborhoods of pennsylvania more grimoires because you find a. lower merion area a great school district if you go to blocks that way the 2nd in one case where just

a couple days ago a guard actually at the gas station got shot 16 times because these you go up here to know marion after school programs computer. the football team stuff look like the n.f.l. right. 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 $300.00 on a football she might say we plan to provide each of them on a difference a 2 mile difference to a young person this 131412910 miles there's 2000000 miles of a difference because kids are going to these homes right here look at these like the they look at bandit is right to live in a look at the way they are then look at be this some might the 2nd floor light is what i mean somebody live in it right 1st floor by not in the regulated but nobody lives in some i want to 2nd floor you know people that live around here some sound

don't even go to miles that way some people even know what lower merion looks like measure a kid they go to sleep at night they don't know heat right and it's cool this just a reality right here. it's not like just some prick. so right now you're still is baltimore this is looks all 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 monday's shooting round here a lot of my friends lost their lives. in his neighborhood. people can't get into all they sell drugs spray here you know wait for people to come boom boom boom boom boom boom. you know and that's how they make one 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're close together to fuss treat 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 in plays a huge part as to what you experience you know i as well as what you become when you grow up. oftentimes memphis bird 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 i've had 6 friends that have never heard of you gun violence in homewood. one was working as a bartender at a local bar and their patron came in and decided to shoot him inside the bar another young woman named jenny's toe 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. 2 minutes of the y.m.c.a. which is unique because that's 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 explain. a lot of kids who look up to athletes and entertainers so even want to be rappers for the next lebron james or they want to be their neighborhood gangsta the

neighborhood drug deal that's fascinating into so kids they get a chance to see in their environment and they have options like evil you selling crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot in order to excrete the hood. market and. it's. going to let. me go for the. sole job where for the day. this was some of the best of this was the. deal and she's. coming also so my dish out before. class was for most. women 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 that's why members were united states of america that differ. bided 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're going 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 as we see the difference here

books ace 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 rather. odd no t.v. no crowd. no shots no. action

just don't speak. well you. know there is a threat. which your thirst for action. we go to work. street hold. there's a low low number of opportunities 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 move basic strangely difficult to run a business in a place like home well just because one there's not a a lot of people there and then too the people there don't have the necessary means to take advantage of extra things and one of the unique businesses that has been able to been a steadfast place to look to and home with i think they're you know at least 50 years old and mr a mr bundy has been there you know making. making those done for for kids to make sure that they have food before they were to school for for 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 to be a constant presence in that neighborhood despite what has gone.

oh and they were they're good or bad you know i don't have any complaints with homeward. neighbor or lutherans you know or some bit of news or of dr berry or i don't see any new businesses coming in right now a couple big companies k.f.c. . from way maybe meet their quota here whatever company calls for you know they've been gone for you know 56 years and i thought long they'd been out here. you know. that's just a tough par and i around the guns in murders did take place right out avenue is one of the busiest roads and western pennsylvania is one of the longest and strangest rows so people arrive from the a fluent neighborhoods out outside 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 with us so it's not a place that you want to pull over and stop and maybe grab a donna and coffee rather than the same traffic. we've got here is the most level one you know most one of the capital murder. something's not so great. we'll talk about your food and how it impacted because you thought hostile i thought it was $60.00 thought it was thought it was 60 now though gas saw you know how it all enough to sell a food amount so make a living now was that. while the slave say it's all we got what will feast i was

actually so when i saw my anger it's fun that's. hostile so the bit i'll commit i think about it every bycatch ahead i want to cut the head which it sounds to. let it. go at it all you do is like a controlled lot say the habits when we behave but our city you know what we used to get out of pools are we going to soldier that's what. you got a club. you know we know. we had a bottom you have to climb all the way to how old you are yet to make a name for yourself out from where you right now was so happy that is comparing it to like a war zone actually in the same order of your shy baltimore. in saudi arabia. is probably crazy yet like. whole crowd a lot of 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 2011 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 to start to focus more in on a basketball or. basketball it's a competition with yourself. you have to conquer yourself. 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 a battle of monks your team and other people. it's about almost you and the environment. it's a game of skill it's

a game of aggression. and physicality where you're forced to tremble you're supposed to shoot. it forced him to do a lot of things that people take for granted in every day. just that that passion that i've been able to maintain from my childhood and carry over into my adulthood is what us are out to be so much different than everybody else and create an opportunity where people say we could work to find other children in the father's neighborhoods primarily in home where i started up a super bowl it's 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 i've done if not i'll take it further and further and further.

so will be also right now is a war going on. and she need people every day out every day i don't want to stick life in philly put up are you to somebody and that's another father who is show us another woman who who meaning come almost a mother who got a i'm sorry to see what mothers have to bury the black son burke and that's just it isn't as is his plan is i could put it i don't want to see people getting killed and miss where you griego i don't need to see people getting killed and brushes. don't want to steal your children for those. primaries based on all drugs. you know people who didn't kill the anything.

95 percent of the crimes. or least 85 is. the crowd is drug related. you know we're a weirdo right now currently we're the 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 just 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 some i may add when you step outside your door scuse me do you know where i can 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 this 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 they're going to bring in the good food because it's already solved everything is about spacing right now and everything so you've got well you've got wealthy people living next to like poor people. so eventually to poor people it's going to be it's 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 you don't have the pain the money just moved in on him but the thing 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. desk changing because donald trump the. 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 willy have freedom of choice you don't have a freedom of choice which you know you're eating with the government giving you can usually call it a go get food at a market mail misstatement yet if you own

a welfare you want to have their donald trump basket piece and you like go a basket full of food and she government get it so you can't there's no more purchase things are changing in the rich want access to the city. in which that comes. just occasion a lot of things get exposed right now. you know. a lot of people go to church. and. you know they give offerings and you know i'm a speak in bed on the religion or 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. never be there for them financially and never has.

the fingers. together you're going to squeeze your hand in and make sure you fingers those of the true motive to go into this position 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 and the. old saying well ok forget what you saw in a movie story if you shoot the way bishop in a movie you'll never get anything. according to several sources for lease in the united states from 2 to 4 people every day. i.

had. one of my being arrested for. their little. stab they developed us against. how long have you. ever had to shoot someone holding you know. there is a corruption inside of his police well they. join me every. time i'm sure.

i'm sure. i'll see that. the 2nd weekend of racism protests tens of thousands turned out across the united states but the peaceful in contrast to the rioting and heavy handed policing earlier this week. may have more main street some of the early rallies erupted into riots resulting in shops. away from the stories that. the man behind it says he calls to money.
