As i watched this movie I thought to myself, "what has happened to the black community?" In the movie all the people had to travel outside the neighborhood to get jobs, they all lived inside a huddled corner where drug dealers are allowed to roam freely, and what terrifies me is it looks like its always the black mans fault. Are we truly heathens? Are we that ignorant to see that this hateful deceitful world thrives off purposed intent, that sometimes things happen for a reason?
I am not convinced that black people are the sole source of their problems, every time we have tried to unite, we have been robbed of our leaders, every time we try to branch out, we are left the abandoned rubbish that others leave behind to escape us. Its time we wake up, and begin to act like citizens that police our communities rather than losing our people to lifetime sentences, and leaving the children to learn for themselves how wicked life can be.
I'm sure that this might be somewhat accurate about the area of baltimore that these people live in, but I also see that any place whites have abandoned, so have the businesses, and the money goes out therefore the jobs are gone, the police force is minimum and the people are stuck with that American dream that tends to contribute to living a good carefree life, you know, like the people we idolized on television?. This does not make sense. Something has got to give.
Sure this is not about just us, but about every ghetto across the nation, and right now this isn't about every race, because one race is being targeted in this rough somber picture about neglectful negroes circling inside a make-believe prison of their own internalized fears and physical addictions to chemical incarceration. I am sure that we need to be more rigorous about teaching the youth, being more resilient about how we need to stay close even when we spread apart. This is not just a problem in baltimore, its all over the united states. Something has got to give.
