Meet Gang Members From Chicago's West Side

Chicago passes 1000 gunshot victims for the year. President Trump capitalized on Chicago’s troubles, and campaigned on finding the solution. 12 days after inauguration a pastor named Darrell Scott told President Trump he had a solution. Scott said “Top gang thugs” in Chicago had personally contacted him with a message for the president.

At some point the news is wasting time that could be spent improving my own consciousness. It is said that as air carries aroma, consciousness carries the soul. Air may continually carry the fragrance of a rose garden, as it passes, and the same air can carry the foul smell of gunpowder and dead innocent people. We're not meant to stay in bad consciousness, although it is just as much part of this mortal world as enlightened thinking. But humans get to use their facility of human form as they choose, and reap what we sow.

I'm from the Southside of Chicago. Even if you go to the "better" neighborhoods there is still so much violence. I remember growing up in a neighborhood that is not the best but not the worst. When I would walk home sometimes there would be gun shots from nearby. You would have to watch some of the colors that you wore to make sure that they weren't gang colors. Many people I know are in gangs and/or sell guns and drugs. Family members in and out of jail. There are so many other things like gruesome murders right around the corner and people shooting each other right in front of my house. It's insane. I'm just glad I never got caught up in anything like that.

You should feel so proud of yourself & should never stop. It takes people like you to show the others that what they may think is impossible, is possible! That what might seem lame, is actually the gateway to freedom, happiness, success.

I am glad you got out of those horrible neighborhoods. So much of Chicago is completely dysfunctional. As a resident of Lakeview though I will say that much of the north side feels like a different planet. People up here are unfortunately more than content to ignore what's going on less than 10 miles away.

[@angelusumbra5741]

Agreed. I was born in Chicago in 86, and have lived here all my life. I spent the first 10 to 15 years of my life by North Avenue. It's really not that bad of a neighborhood compared to many other places in the city that are like war zones. But there's still people getting shot, slinging dope, and all the rest, every single day. It's just sad when everyone you know has been shot or knows someone who's been shot. Every body has buried some one by the time they get outta grade school. This shouldn't be normal for any of us. But it is normal for us. It's hard, and it's sad.

M A watch hidden colors, We had black Wall Street with hundreds of businesses but they were destroyed by white racist people. They killed hundreds of black people in 1921. Literally displaced thousands of black people and set us back. This isn’t the only city where white people have destroyed what we have built. You are probably a grown ass man you should know this.

[@MA-qz1sd]

OK keep crying about the past. 1921, who fucking cares what happened back then. Look at the history of Germany or Japan look where they were and where they are now. wake up no one cares what has happened in the past. Only the strong will overcome and adapt. Opportunities are out there you just got to be optimistic and work hard and one day you'll be something.

Watching this video has opened my eyes as to the underlying issue no only in chicago but everywhere that are facing this same issue. There is a conflict of interest between "community leaders" that are only in it for themselves, and those who legitimately want things to get and be better than all the senseless killings and deaths that happen every day. It would be nice if some would quit trying to put their name out there just to get rich at the expense of their neighbors.

Okay I'm from Chicago lived there for 7 years of my early life and I'm black. I lived in the north side and i have seen the south side and let me tell you it's crazy. Kids coming up to you saying "can I please have food my dada in jail" "Can I have a place to sleep my momma got shot" it's horrible and you know why this whole gang violence cycle keeps repeating, when they learn at a early age Hey look at those people stealing let me try or oh my friend started drugs and she is feeling better they try to do that and end up in jail or dead. The cycle repeats with there children have you heard of this saying "You either get famous or you die trying" that's very true in South Chicago. Instead of North Chicago putting money into the youth's that live there so they have a better life they put the money to our beautiful sky scrapers and our big statues. Yet really if we want a change we need to start with the kids because the kids are the future. I live in Illinois still but in a nicer place but I still think we should help those that don't have my, yours, our opportunities

[@aguy1883]
