5:43 pm
a wicked jump shot in order to excrete the hood. market and. it's going to let. me go for the. so what's up man for today. is what is some of the best of these all see. feel and see. how many also so much you shall before. us will so much lemme tell you what you guys cannot be a real bad people. all of the reasons we're because there is division you know in the principle behind dividing that's why i remember we're united states of america that differ. i did states. this whole area was black so what happened was they
5:44 pm
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 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 is an 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
5:45 pm
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 to want to open up a business in a high crime area. because then you get robbed. malcolm x. is a hero to many protesters on the streets of america speaking about the media he once said that if you're not careful it could have you hating the people being oppressed and loving the people doing the oppressing. the distinction me in today's usa the.
5:46 pm
according to several sources felice in the united states killed from 2 to 4 people simply did a. headstand. with said i surrender. what am i being arrested for a response from enough and that is just their little world to establish they develop the us against them and. how long should the 2525 years as. ever have to shoot someone holding you know. there is a corruption inside of this police i don't think.
5:47 pm
there's a low blow number of opportunities here in western pennsylvania as well as to not only did our industries move but a lot of our people moved as well which forced even more businesses to move it's extremely difficult to run a business in a place like home well just because one there is not of 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 our home what i think they're you know at least 15 years old and mr a mr bundy has been there you know making. making those donuts. or for kids to make sure that they had food before they were just cool for 4 generations upon
5:48 pm
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. on they were good or bad you know i am very compliant with homework here. were lutherans somebody of their ear i don't see any new bridge coming in right now a couple big companies of 3. fell away maybe meet their
5:49 pm
quota here were never a company called for gone forward in our careers you know i thought long they'd been out of here. you know. that's just a tough par in a round the guns in murders did take place right south avenue was one of the busiest roads and was sometimes serving 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 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. you. we got here is the most number one. most one of the capital murder. something's not so great.
5:50 pm
to talk about your food and how it impacted because you thought it was the thought of. you know. enough the solid food. so make a living. out of what was i was so when i. found that. so the big. head i want to. 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. you got to. you know we know. we had a bottom you have to climb all the way to how. to make a name for yourself out from where you are right now with capital that is comparing
5:51 pm
it to like a war zone actually if you're shy of baltimore you know if you go to saudi arabia. it's probably crazy yeah. 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 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 career. basketball the competition with your see. well.
5:52 pm
you have the coffee 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 a basketball 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 amongst your team and other people. it's about all motion you and the environment. is a game of skill it's a game of aggression. and physicality where you're forced to tremble you're supposed to shoot. the force and do a lot of things that people take for granted in every day from. this that that passion that i've been able to maintain from my childhood and 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 father's neighborhoods primarily in home where i started up as marble it's
5:53 pm
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 hopefully take it further and further and further down the. line. there will be one also right now is a war going on. and she need people every day on every day i don't want to stick my life in fully put up are you to somebody and that's the number of law who is show us in the woman who who many come almost a mother who got it and how to see what mothers are. very deeply and that's just this it isn't as is this plane is not the footage i don't want to see people
5:54 pm
getting killed miss were you great go i don't need to see people getting to russia i think you should only see people you choose for those. primaries based on no drug use. you know people who didn't kill for anything. 95 percent of the crimes. or least 85 percent of crimes 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 and addiction here. why because we have the port which is right there here and will and the edge
5:55 pm
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 when you saw we from scuse me you know that's a don't. mean you know get 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 everything so you've got well you've got wealthy people living
5:56 pm
next to late poor people. so eventually to poor people it's going to get 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 and you don't have to pay me money just move wait on it good thing about it you may be away from the city so right now in the 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. donald trump is sending you oh basket full of
