If Oakland is ever going to change, we (citizens of Oakland) need to change the way we think. We cannot continue with business as usual. When somebody gets murdered in Oakland, you hear about, see the flowers, see the funeral, then it's over. Over and over again, over 120 times it's the same thing. Why not "protest" and "riot" over 130 murders a year? Why not show the same fire and heart that we showed with Oscar Grant's murder. I know the circumstances are different, but still, we have to change the way we do things if we want a change.
Also we need to give thsee kids something to do, and keep them away from all these dumbass clicks and gangs. 15 year old kids repping Burnout, 13 year old kids repping SYG, enough is enough. Put a trumpet in their hands, maybe they will put the gun down. Places like EOYDC are trying but it just ain't enough. We just gotta change....I really don't know what else to say.

I'm sorry, but honestly, you guys won't ever change. It's a fucked up city, plain and simple. There's just too many people to change. You guys just ain't got the cash to build up your communities and the $hitty gov't ain't going to help that's for sure. The gov't wants you guys where your at so you guys can whipe yourselves out. Ethnic cleansing. For as long as I've been living, all the ghetto areas I've seen in my city (San Diego), still remain ghetto to this day. The city governments themselves just don't give a fuck. The rich stay rich, the poor stay poor. The only real way to survive and better your own life and family's, is to move out.
