As an unmarried Black woman from Chicago, I find this absolutely absurd. Beautiful Black men hanging out on the block at night when they should be home eating dinner with their wife, helping their children with their homework or as a single man simply preparing for his future. I understand that its what some of us experienced. The hand we were dealt. But at a certain age that foolishness goes out the window. Smart brothers wasting time. The application of knowledge is power.

[@DonTrump-wr2ne]

And u need to be doing the same thing instead of making comments about these guys u don't know...immigrants being officers without green cards. Stop judging what if they was bums guess u got something to say about bums to. Look at yourself first, I guess your husband doing alot better. If u got a problem don't watch it, And maybe if alot of these 304'$,thots etc act and live life as mature women then maybe we can have some peace to go home to instead of boss independent hot girl summers and nem

[@bashamiyaki]

...yes indeed, even tho I didn't grow up there, I was raised in ida b wells, majority of the people I hung with I found out are either dead or in jail. My parents made sure I went to the best schools, and never wanted for anything. If we were struggling, I had no idea, they made sure I didn't know it or suffer, never missed a meal, I was very well taken care of all while living in the projects. Grew up and doing pretty well for myself.

As a Black woman and Chicagoan, this makes me embarrassed and ashamed. I'm a south sider who is a product of my environment: college educated, family oriented, giving and thriving. These are CHOICES that people make, THEY DO NOT REPRESENT THE REAL PEOPLE OF CHICAGO! Chicago is still 1 of the most beautiful cities in the country.

To anyone who's watching this video this place Cabrini Green was torn down years ago these are row houses. These guys grew up with your grandmothers these row houses were for the old ladies and all the old people who live in the Cabrini Green before they were torn down. This section is located amongst one of the richest areas in Chicago, which is downtown Chicago there are million condos in this area. Don't believe the hype. This is not the Cabrini Green of old.

[@bodom654]

Thank you lol. This is the farthest thing from “hood” in Chicago😂 it’s been decades since that was a BAD area. It’s astonishing to me that these grown men would rather glorify and continue to hold onto such a grim past rather than move forward from that dark time in history. Be proud where you came from 100% but the real glory and pride lies ahead, not behind you.

Imagine growing up in poverty and crime and right down the street is wealth and prosperity. How does this not make you wanna elevate and do better in life?? I remember us losing everything and having to move to the jects. Being looked down upon because of where I lived motivated me to do better in life.

[@ricka1925]

It's that Democrat plantation state of mind.

[@s.rogers5773]

Having the urge to leave and being able to actually mobilize yourself to leave are 2 diff things. There’s a level of trauma that you acquire from living in a place like this. I would say a person who has witnessed a single murder or rape…it would be enough to send them over the edge. Now imagine years, decades of witnessing repeated murder, rape, assault, etc…you can’t just nestle yourself into society and get yourself “together” after that. Most of them acquired charges before they were old enough to understand the magnitude of said charges, most of them acquired trauma generations before they were even born.

I work in Old Town. Its crazy how as soon as you get out of there, its a whole different world. Expensive condos and executive buildings. Everything is changing quickly around there. I just hate how people from out of town go to Cabrini and Parkway like they're Jurassic Park exhibits these days. Not everybody that live in these places are bad, horrible people. I'm glad that it was older dudes talking and not a group of young dudes steady flashing their guns and looking over their shoulders every 10 seconds. These were actually the guys you wanna talk to. They've seen it all and now they wanna keep positivity flowing. Hopefully the guy that just got out of Statesville can move forward.

This not the real Cabrini greens . The high rises were the real trenches.

Those are the REAL Mother Cabrini projects. The William Green high-rises on Division were built later

These still the projects tho

[@edenjs1503]

The saddest part about this whole scenario is the use of 'in the trenches'. A year in the trenches for real would make men of these gangsters. While so many of these videos show how the newer generations are trying to improve the area and themselves, the perspective of these was just depressing, not negative, but full of hopelessness. In 10 years, they'll be standing in the same spot saying the same things. They don't look willing to learn so they'll never change! And somehow they think they are 'winning the game!'

[@1Skorpia]

The trenches of the REAL Cabrini green towers was a war zone. Nobody was smiling. They were on alert. Tense, miserable, had ptsd, tired, hungry. Nobody looked relaxed like these guys or were dumb enough to wear jewelry outside. Everyone miserable.

[@ryanripple7106]

They are "winning" the race, up the down-side of the escalator.

[@BigSi-xw6wv]

The rowhouses were wicked as hell I saw footage from like 15 yrs ago the entire population was outside fist fighting. The high rises were worst but it was all Cabrini.

[@teeturner1629]

I was out there 15 years ago and I’m from the suburbs. I got around just fine. Every thing isn’t exactly what it seems.

At that time if you was known ina streets then you knew you had to watch your back. These days it seem like nobody know who there target is so anybody can get it basically

But what you don’t know is a lot of the men in the video don’t even live there anymore. Some live in down town apartments and nice suburban neighborhoods with their families. However they grew up there so they still go back to get up with their pple. And ain’t nothing wrong with the tht.

[@trejones4272]

Shout out to Vlog and the Cabrini crew, this was a nice lil video. Nobody pulling out guns on camera and spreading negativity, and especially when the OG made it be known that no one is born violent and natuarally evil, it comes from hollyweird through music and movies where they can basically cast spells on the young and weak minded to carry out their agendas, that's how you control something or someone from a distance, REMOTE CONTROL!
