It is so sad that gangs have that much control over our kid’s life. I know the uncle must feel so sick. Let pull together to get rid of the gangs! Stop it black people! Stop being so asleep!

You are so right Marice, I just don’t understand how every group of
people can take control of their kids and the people of color can’t.
They better start learning and teaching their kids so that they the kids
can be around for a successful life.
