Gangbangers/Drug Dealers are the most dangerous in black neighborhoods. They are the REAL enemy of black people. The gov't/white man can't be blamed for racism when drug dealing gangbangers buy/sell weapons from and to anybody. Goddamn drug dealers buy huge amounts of drugs from a non-black then bring it within black areas and sell it to black people. That's not racism. IT'S NIGGERISM. Black males, of all ages, are leading young black males to prison and the grave. Dame shame. Older black males should know better. But they could care less.

The writer sounds detached in my opinion. I can only imagine teaching in a public school, but I have done community service with at risk kids in the Greater Washington, D.C. area. I worked with kids who had legal cases pending, were on probation or who had been referred for having “problems.”
It is my experience that the one thing gang bangers can relate to is street credibility. That’s the easiest way to reach them. Once they learn that I had been there, done that, they were more receptive to my message. I found this to be accurate both behind prison walls and in urban communities.
I think its a travesty to write off the whole “bunch”, and lets not forget that the human mind isn’t fully mature until the age of twenty-five. Many of us are not the same people we were in our teens. That’s my message to them. That as a man, I now feel the consequences of decisions I made when I was I was their age.
