after world war 2. to come is no different from any place else in this country in terms of how people are relegated to that bottom wrong if they are poor or if they are of color. no, it was so many of our children affected during that late eighty's early ninety's. if you around the age 111213, during that time you are affected by this m. o. so many of the kids didn't survive ever killed me if they didn't die, they're in prison for a long time. ah, they don't have very was already a poverty stricken neighbourhood. and then when you feel prostitution on that, so gangs on that, throw crack cocaine on top of all that these kids, they are

for doug. this all really out. i wasn't certain i could find it. it was actually on the off, they dug it out there. missing is got to be back to 8889. we were educating ourselves so many kids running gang members and we started keeping a notebook on them and mr. getting pictures and they found out we had it and they all want to see someone come up and say my, my face isn't in there. it was for photographed those are all the original kids that were recruited and taught how to be gang members by daily gangs . they were smart, they were natural leaders. the other kids looked up to me and listen to me. they could all do math in their head, you know, they all thought they were stupid way or because they didn't finish school, but they knew how many houses are in town. how many a balls you could get an out, how much money they should get back, how much they were owed. they were sharp. hello guys.

they had to be 10 or 12 now. when the 1st time that i've ever encountered law enforcement, i was young. i was a kid kind of running away from home. and i was basically living in this abandoned house with all of these other teenagers and kids . one more than i was ride, my bike could i was cut into the house because the house is kind of like a short cut. you know, to the next block. seeing some police in the back yard. this one, the police officer who them drew down on the telemundo move. she was going to a for some other than the rest

you just fuel the mom as a nation? because all my i had a we will shut out economically. who is still shut out economically. the institutional racism that we have around economic steel persists the underlying issues m. j. disparities with education, with employment, with health care, with transportation, with housing. oh, let's look at drugs. let's look again, let us look about the outcome. those are 9 input. the inputs are the disparities that lead to that then america, money, speech, money makes policy. money decides who makes money off of drugs and who's communities are devastated. it is systemic. are we

really saying to ourselves in this? got that money is more important than any other thing and how to get it and who you get it from. an injustice and all that other stuff is just the system is a firm henry is if that's all you leave of me to hell, i will make it work. when i was killed in a hoax, white books. you know, while i am your slave aid what she had left, you damn sure didn't leave no pork roast for me. no, no, no, no baby back ribs. i got a not a ears,

a to the good kids and mama neil made it to the best they could because that was worth it. if you leave room to drugs, alcohol, criminal activity to make a live legal make a letter from the church. the church, a lawyer i was a single mother raising 2 children in the hell time didn't have much money. the california games came up, made it so appealing to be a gang member. i could maybe put $10.00 in his pocket for allowance where they would give him a $1000.00 in his pocket. i always think and if willing had been younger older he wouldn't have been swept into that lifestyle. but he was just a prime age for what they were looking for. he was 11 and they were already

starting to recruiting process to get willie and many other young ones to sound rock, cocaine and powder cocaine. one time he told me that he wasn't going to go to school and i told him, oh you're going to school today. and he made a phone call in 10 minutes later there was 3 cars in the alley, gang members sitting on the hood of the car as they were vanishing gun. and they told me, says i'm going to school today and he's coming with us. i took him, i felt so helpless like what, how do i fight this? calling the police? they didn't care. i said it was his choice now that's when it took off and that's when it got so violent. lot of kids went around. wow. i lost about like 30 brands at this time. what we were living in and know how many lycidas bags and how bad it would end up being just got worse and then finally,

one day i was at work in my husband at the time. tell me you need to get home kaiser. police are going to your house for search warrants. and on. when i got home they said your son cross salinas time and we got him for murder. this when he was 17 and 18, they sent him 200 years in prison. ah, in 1884, the german empire began its colonial invasion into namibia. from the very start, berlin encouraged the white colonists to settle in south west africa and take away the best land from the local tribes. the germans were actively draining natural resources and using the local population as

a cheap labor source. this was causing major protests and led to a rebellion in 19 o 4, the hero and nama tribes rebelled against german colonial rule. kaiser wilhelm, the 2nd was fully determined and ordered to suppress the rebellion with the utmost severity against the inhabitants of namibia. germany through is 15000 well equipped army. all around the country concentration camps were built. in humane medical experiments over citizens were conducted within the period of 4 years. the germans killed up to 60000 people, among which there were 80 percent of the hero tribe, and 50 percent of the nama tribe. the events in south west africa are called the 1st genocide of the 20th century, and not without reason are compared to the holocaust just 2 decades later after the massacre in nam may be

a hitler's us unit vote on the same brown colonial uniform which voiced the world into the chasm of the 2nd world war with joggers archipelago, roma that you go san diego garcia, the largest island in the archipelago, is now the location of a very large u. s. military base. you get given met g, r a u. s. government to make a military base and just devoted all of the chunk of people from their country so they can return back on the island. no, but we are fighting. that's why i'm real fighting for the right. so i, we do not consider that the right of self determination actually applies to the trickle skins. and on the question of self determination, the legal advice we've received is actually the trickle. since we're not and are

not a people for me, it's time to move on and see what we can do for the jungle. said community to return back home, knowledge support from the united nation. i commission african united nish. i don't care about child christian people with top stories. russian troops edge closer to taking the strategic city of altima can the tone, yes. group health make up the things in control of the nearby town of sola, dawn following months of intense fighting. dozens of passengers die in a plane crash, didn't oppose international airport. the country's was a disaster in 3 days with no country, no people have the right to force african countries and let people to take saw it. they thing plays out with her shouldn't become an arena, competition and between world powers.
