I envy all of you sitting back home in the US who rarely travel beyond its borders, if ever for being as omniscient as you supposedly are. Some of us have to do it the hard way of getting on a plane and seeing these places for ourselves (I was in Egypt in 2009, it doesn't take very long to realize most people are just barely scraping by there), but I think we are better off for doing so.Oh give me a break and get off yer high horse i had to reply to "do gooder"this post.... I lost TWO family members and countless other people i knew to the violence of the NYC Streets, my cousin Van was shot dead right in front of me(Mistaken identity he looked like the fool they was after) and the only reason im alive today is the gun jammed when it was pointed at me. My Aunt Audery Killed by her boyfreind was a down low Dope Dealer who tied her up and gave her a bad mix when she found out that he was using her apt for dealing left behind three kids one of them grew up and in a act of vengence shot and killed him when he finally caught up with him, got life for it too go figure.I grew up "barely scraping by" (i knew the meaning of hunger and wearing clothes down to the bone with holes in them) as a lot of folks did and STILL do. I grew up around dope dealers,crooked cops(There was nobody to watch my back when i had to walk through gang controlled areas to get to school) gangs and death, somebody seemed to get shot everyday almost which makes it even sadder because it wasnt over hate or opression it was my own kind doing this. You know what? The word "fear" isnt even in my volcabulary(maybe its in yours) my folks did a effing great job in helping us get out of that rut and seeing what we all became today.So please dont act like you are all in this and folks over here dont have a clue or a understanding we got our own problems as well. The world been this way for a long time sadly where you been? Ghettos are the same all over the world, I been to a lot of them.. Realtalk.... |
