    So what do you suggest for the inner city kid who's mother is on crack and who's father is out of the picture?

    How do we solve this inner city crisis?

    How do we get those inner city low income slaves out of slavery?

    Since by your definition of slavery, many African Americans live below the poverty line so then that makes them slaves. Since by your definition anybody who works for less without benefits is a slave. or anybody who works for someone else for that matter.

    any suggestions??

    yes, this is a raw nerve. For some reason, I get really angry about being called a RACIST every fucking three minutes of the day.

    You want to know the secret to success?


    STOP MAKING FUCKING EXCUSES AND PERFORM!


    Over and Out ... I wish you luck, in everything besides applying your unique gift of deflection ...

  5. Tons of them. But I'd get in trouble for instituting them. And not so much with the police.

    First, the community has to say NO MORE! No more to all the BS that our community has come to tolerate. Another childhood memory of mine if you will.

    Soon after my family relocated to the new black burbs and life started improving, we had the gang problem try to take hold. I remember the day that Jeff Fort and the inner city thugs came to our community to start and recruit for the new "Junior P Stone Rangers." A so-called kid group (10 - 19 year olds) offshoot to Jesse Jackson's city based Operation Breadbasket Program. But the men in the community knew exactly what it was.

    On the so called recruiting Saturday, the city gangbangers came out to the park to have a picnic and introduction program. There was food, bands and plenty of candy. The Black Stone Rangers, the senior group, was there in force. They really looked cool too in all their red, black and green wear. They had cute ladies, bad cars, the latest music and smoked a ton of weed. Couldn't have been weed though, this was a religious based group so it must have been a special incense scent. Yeah, that's what it was.

    My friends and I were in the park playing and we just sorta' joined right in all the happenings. I can remember all the fathers in the community all coming down to the park. We're talking driving, running, riding bikes, you name it. I still remember when the head of the detectives and the mayor got there too. And they were all pissed. They gave those clowns a half hour to get out the town.

    I remember a gangbanger saying, "Ya'll just bad 'cause you got the police." With that the detective put his gun in his car and took off his uniform. The squad officers left the park and a few of them returned later in their civi's. And then the mayor told them, "Now we're men just like you. Leave the town and don't come back. Pushing lead to shoving, and then fighting. We watched as the men of our community, old and out of shape, proceeded to beat the crap out of the gang.

    We're talking chains and bats, full fledged war. That's when I noticed my old man out there. This was totally out of character for him. I would have never guessed that he would be there. He was too passive a man to be fighting. I saw my neighbor, Mr. Hunt. He didn't even have kids, yet he was out there. I saw men I would have thought to not have backbone at all, fighting. That's how it happens in a community that's fed up.

    From that day forward our community never had so much as a peep from the gangs. Later when I got to high school I found that the gangs had declared our community a hands off zone.

    Now we had kids with no fathers just like today. But the rest of the men in the community stepped up and became the models that we/they needed. The year following the fight our community got Little League baseball, Pop Warner Football, and a major community basketball program.

    To this day our community and the surrounding three black communities are responsible for the most professional athletes of any concentrated area in Chicago. There are over 100 players who have participated in the professional ranks from our tri-city area. And its across the board in all sports too!

    Many of them came from single parent homes too! The discipline we got at home was echoed throughout the little communities. The solutions are simple and not costly either. It's the discipline piece that holds things back. First, we have to stop the concept of attainment of the "Bling" by any means necessary mindset.

    Second we need to reconstruct the value of education in the adults. We need to get away from the Jackson/Sharpton/Clinton message of the village "RAISING" your child. The village must "ONLY" reinforce the values you teach.

    Next, we must help the parent(s). In doing so, you directly impact the children and their minds in a way that gives society a chance to help mold better character. You must give the child the reason to follow the parent(s) models. In doing so, you immediately impact the Rap/gang mindset because no longer does the child have no alternative place to feel a belonging.

    And the rewards for taking this path must be seductive to the youthful mind. It must give them the ability to achieve an inner peace. Something that is missing in many adults! Hence the reason, IMHO, of the player/playerette models lasting well into the late 40 and early 50 year olds. Rather than giving the children something to grow towards, we have adults trying to remain children.

    Want more... :)

    I guess if the president can be a potty mouth what stops you from being one... :D

  7. Canyonman, a thrilling read! Reminds me of an old Jan Michael Vincent movie I saw when I was a kid, about a group of people who decide to stop the gang presence in their neighborhood...forget the title....

    Anyway, I wonder if this approach would even work today, given the prevalence of guns among gangbangers and no reluctance on their part to use them?

    Truly great post. I had to LOL at your mention of Jeff Fort. His group of El Rukn's bought a building a block from me up on the far North Side. Seeing those tough guys wearing those weird "pyramid" hats was an eerie sight.

    BTW: Are you from Thorton or Thornridge Twp?

  9. Sadly enough, I am worried about that too. But it would, and will, probably have to come to that. We have to start to stand up and take the community back.

    And we'll need to have as much mental and emotional support as we can get from outside of the commuity too. This one will be dirty, but I also feel it could be quick. With the legal commuity on the side of the public and not the bangers, we could really make progress. :)

  10. Ah, someone else who remembers their odd gear. I still have my old afro pick that I bought from them at the picnic.

    As for the townships, here you go:

    http://www.district205.net/thornwood/

    I was part of the first class to do a complete four years at the school. I was part of the second freshman class at the school. The initial freshman class had an interrupted term. In their first year, there was race riot at the school and all the African American students were temporarily transferred to Thornridge.

    At the time, South Holland was the home of an active branch of the KKK (south side chapter). In my freshman year, the police department used to escort the buses off campus and to the city limits for safety. :)
