I 'am a White Man and I grow up in a poor family, no father, mom on welfare, me my two brothers and two sister all did well! You can be poor but do the right thing!
You're also a white. The consequences of that type of situation don't weigh the same for you as they do for a black person. There isn't a systemically racist and oppressive system set up to prevent you from succeeding. Why would u not be able to come out of a poor family background? The system was built specifically for someone like you to do just that.
@@Gold3n8oY3 No, I don’t agree to the welfare angle…wrong. The poorest do in fact have more babies and those with the highest education have the least. If you look at stats in America, you’ll find the poorer of any community are always the least educated with the most children…which many become drug dealers and young mothers and on and on….just future predators.
@@Gold3n8oY3We know that's false because welfare is literally chump change and most single black mothers work while u black males have the highest unemployment rates. Do better & raise your sons better
They had to resort to such a thing. There were no opportunities given to blacks ever. If blacks tried to create their own opportunities say, for example of they opened up restaurants - tell me how many white people would be willing to go to a black owned black cooked restaurant in the 80s and the 90s? None. There was no way. Hence such paths were taken.
OMG. This woman doesn’t know the difference between 2 arrest and 10. She is just as bad as she ever was. It’s no wonder her kids wound up the way they did.

Poverty stricken first generation migrants from Asia have the same obstacles as poverty stricken African Americans, but Asians (especially East Asians from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong) do at least as well as white American people, in many studies East Asians do better than anyone else. It's not really about poverty, it's about self respect and dignity, self esteem and confidence to at least try to improve their lives.
The high crime epidemic begins with a poor family foundation. Broken homes created by deadbeat dad, teenage pregnancies, abuse in the home. But in the black community there is this perpetual scapegoating of single mothers being blamed for everything. No one ever points at the deadbeat dads who abandoned their children especially their boys. They’d get caught up in bad influences by awful role models. In this case the boy followed his criminal uncle. His family have a history of incarceration. It’s choice to continue a destructive generational pattern
The music they listen to is violent, the neighborhoods they live in the worst. I live in Chicago and if you go to the black neighborhood there is a big difference. To this day I don’t know why, but they disproportionately commit more crimes. I don’t know why
Why is it when I was in high school blacks made up the least population of school, but they were always body boxing and doing school fights? Seriously what's up with that?
&&&& its mind blowing how his uncle can lead his nephew to Rob innocent working folks Instead of helping his nephew get a job at the same building he was working at ... this case was beyond sad . .. 19 years old life gone down the drain .... 💔💯
Disgusting that this is about a 'deprived' murderer and not the poor man who was killed and his loved ones. Poverty doesn't commit crime - people do, and it's a CHOICE.
There is no way he could have imagined the consequences of his actions given the bleakness of his condition. The victim was old nearly done with his life they took this boys entire chance at life not the half he Stole. This is why we have to expose young black men to life beyond the racist south. They have to see more so they know they can become more.
I have a niece who has 3 children she doesn’t take care of because she wants to run the streets and sell drugs with her boyfriend. Her mother is left to take care of her daughter’s children. This is not society’s fault. This happens all over Baltimore City!
The problem we have to solve is that of upbringing. The Black community has to solve this themselves, though the white community must be supportive. Throwing money at people will not solve this. Using money to create education and opportunity is critical.
The problem with them is that they refuse to address this issue. They avoid the subject, sweep it under the carpet and get triggered when someone calls it what it is
Thankyou this documentary has helped me understand people better and not judge and that our upbringing and people around us growing up like family do affect us good or bad.
Ultimately though, these Young Men CHOOSE THE Lifestyle and all that leads to where they are and all the Role Models and Money and Social Workers in the World can't change that Fact
Here's how it works. Mandatory minimums, lock up the father. Son grows up without father. Father can never get a job as a felon so he reoffends. Mothers get welfare money from the state. The taxpayers lose because government ass holes can't actually do something positive to attempt to remedy the situation, cops get the brunt of the blame. But really, the courts and the for profit prisons lobby successfully for this outcome.
This process is a shit stain on our otherwise great nation. Taking freedom away from us all, leaving our country with one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.
They should use the one's serving around 20 years in Alaska to build roads and building and farms. Maybe teach them to build and when released keep them on with a payroll and open up part of Alaska as ice melting.

@@jamiezenichi1017 I really wish it was that simple or black and white. My family member was not doing anything wrong. Some young skin heads shot into a group of young black males. He got shot. The police arrested the shooter who was a senior white male in high school. His parents had money for good lawyers etc. The son did not go to jail. They ask the judge to allow to pay his medical bills from the shooting and apologize. He got off. The system is not fair to all.
I have above average intelligence and I could see the traps in the abusive environments we call family, church, school, neighborhood, culture. All seemed to try to destroy me as a boy and teen. I literally had to mentally transcend all these institutions to identify a positive outcome for myself. The abuse even continues in adulthood in the institution of workplace and the social and political climates hostile to my black life all the time. Yet these reports wonder why these black youth and men become dysfunctional.
@@MicahElohim I raised a male. Yes, we hit bumps in the road along the way but his dad and I gave him wisdom, support and guidance along the way to keep him from falling. We also had additional support at the schools by asking for parent teacher meetings. It takes work to nurture and protect a child and bring them up in the admonition of the Lord. I’m sorry you had a bad experience. Pray Psalm 91 and trust in God to protect you from your enemies. Ask Him for Guidance.
“These young men don’t have the familial structure necessary to promote a positive outcome “ Sooooo is it not obvious that these young men fathers were taken from them and many sentenced to mandatory minimums for non violent crimes far lengthier than many who have committed heinous crimes and made a plea. Guess what, these young men, some who already have young ones of their own, then grow up as well as these young men turn into old men behind bars. Prisons need to be turned into rehabilitation centers instead of small unhygienic cells with barbaric guards and criminals who teach each other to be better criminals. Not preparing them once out, many having gotten locked up before graduating, sending them out with no trade, knowledge of financial stability and slapped on regulations that prevent them from making money legally in order to progress as a serving citizen in the community. They are sent out with what they learned inside. This is so frustrating.

Single parent family creates high poverty rate, lower education achievement and higher crime.This is true for all demographics, I grew up in a majority white city and the kids from single parent families did not do as well on average as those from two parent households.
Want to know something funny? My 18 year old white sister has made all A's through highschool, played soccer, softball, and volleyball, worked part time at Chick-fil-a for 3 years. She's been accepted to 3 different colleges....but not a single scholarship. They give all the scholarships to blacks nowadays. And people still say they don't have the same chance? Excuses excuses
If this is true, why did you take the bait??? I mean blacks claim their Gods, Kings, Queens, and the smartest people on the planet. So how come you're at an all time low morally?

I fail to see the debate or the controversy. What if he harmed YOUR family? I'm sorry, there are plenty of people who were deprived of a father figure that don't take this path. I am very sorry about Dwight but he is PRECISELY where he belongs.
@davey Crockett Exactly! And it has been proven that social programs, welfare, free housing, etc do not work. It only causes more entitlement mentality and encourages black women to have more babies by low caliber men.
These young men have to want to be better for such resources to help. I used Job Corps to come up. They let in a lot of hoodlums that interrupt that program continuing their street life, messing it up for the youth who are trying to make it.
These "young men" have to decide for themselves to stop glorifying the idiocy of "thug life," drugs, hating law enforcement, dropping out of school, and the like. They are their own worst enemies.
Keep them criminals behind bars so the rest of society can prosper without the aggravation. The longer jail sentences..the better. There are plenty of people who are poor and not choose to be criminals. It is this arrogance that they are owed some kind of reparation or some due from others that bother me. Everyone else can work for what they need. Why can't they?
They always talking bout it's because of their upbringing which is true to a degree but being stupid plus the laws that NC have designed to incarcerate the blackman also play a major part in it. I wonder why the children with "good upbringing" commit crime. What is their excuse ?
States must have a certain amount of prisoners - typically between 80 and 90 percent of occupancy - or pay companies for empty beds. Talk about bad incentives - a state throws money away if it does not
All OLDER ADULTS KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO HELP BOYS AND YOUNG MEN CONDUCT BETTER LIVES AND STOP VIOLENT BEHAVIOR BUT NOT VERY MANY OLDER ADULTS INCLUDING THEIR FATHER'S ARE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ***MANY MEN DON'T CARE ABOUT RAISING BOYS OR RAISING THEM PROPERLY***
What they don't realize is that their being Wharehoused, your country really hates you, some are up front about it & some just don't want the hassle of being mocked or ridiculed for their racial beliefs......
I feel bad for him but, no, he does NOT deserve to get out. 😒 He is still in denial and has not yet come to terms with his life sentence yet. The man he killed did not deserve to die. He can get out of prison when his victim can get out of the grave.
Just seeing this video. I did time with Dwight. We called him tank. Cool guy. We was real close. I did 12 yrs myself. We did like 5 together. While I was there he had a brother come into our cell block. Then a close cousin of his came in. Good dude. Actually had a habit of sucking his thumb! Kinda guy you looked at and said to yourself” if he got out , he would never get locked up again”. Or.. “wtf, how did this kid get here”. Sad.
There's a "disproportionate" number behind bars because there's a disproportionate amount committing crimes in the first place. There's no mystery to that. SMH...
Not all black males that are in prison are there because they committed a crime. Like any other race some do commit crimes but the system is also set up to unjustly imprison black males as well. This society is designed to oppress and tear down people of color and if you aren't strong you will fall in the trap of crime, drugs and even death. The oppression is in the job market, on the job, housing, the judicial system, the way they're treated by police and in their daily lives. This is no excuse for the crimes but a symptom. I was raised in a single parent home by my mom along with 4 other siblings and I never been in trouble with the law. I try to lead a good life and even graduated from college with a bachelors degree in IT. However I'm not blinded to the realities of being a black male because I've experienced it and see it.

I was in this prison for 2 years. It's called Polk in butner Nc or (gladiator school) all youthful offenders in that state like I was go there. if your white like me, you have to fight sometimes 3 or 4 Black people at once everyday all-day untill the police break it up. Most guards just watch the fights then after the fights they come in. Very racist blacks. My charge was armed robbery. I stayed in D4 C-POD they call it "the hood" Which was ran by the bloods gang, their set was called shine. After I started winning most the fights when they jumped me they got along with me really well after I broke some noses and jaws. Especially when they found out I was raised by blood gang members when I was in a group home from a small child to a grown man. I'm a country boy rock and roll white boy but I was raised by blood gang members every since I was a toddler in foster care in Charlotte NC. ❤️

These young men have to want to be better for such resources to help. I used Job Corps to come up. They let in a lot of hoodlums that interrupt that program continuing their street life, messing it up for the youth who are trying to make it.
These "young men" have to decide for themselves to stop glorifying the idiocy of "thug life," drugs, hating law enforcement, dropping out of school, and the like. They are their own worst enemies.
it's their dad's job and their own jobs to make sure they do better
This is really sad.
Can’t get a job if your dad never showed you how to act around grown men.
Heartbreaking
For the murdered man's family?
It's absolutely appropriate. They are the most gang members. Everybody knows that.
I agree,not father figures is disappointed for the teen,he feel alone,that's is so sad 😞 prayer for this young man.🙏
SOLUTION: SHOOT MORE BASKET, SHOOT MORE BASKET AND PRACTICE DUNK THE BASKETBALL 1,000 TIMES A DAY. THAT'S IS THEIR TRUE TICKET WAY OUT.
Keep them criminals behind bars so the rest of society can prosper without the aggravation. The longer jail sentences..the better. There are plenty of people who are poor and not choose to be criminals. It is this arrogance that they are owed some kind of reparation or some due from others that bother me. Everyone else can work for what they need. Why can't they?
They always talking bout it's because of their upbringing which is true to a degree but being stupid plus the laws that NC have designed to incarcerate the blackman also play a major part in it. I wonder why the children with "good upbringing" commit crime. What is their excuse ?

States must have a certain amount of prisoners - typically between 80 and 90 percent of occupancy - or pay companies for empty beds. Talk about bad incentives - a state throws money away if it does not
They're dangerous. They belong in prison. He's exactly where he needs to be.
All OLDER ADULTS KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO HELP BOYS AND YOUNG MEN CONDUCT BETTER LIVES AND STOP VIOLENT BEHAVIOR BUT NOT VERY MANY OLDER ADULTS INCLUDING THEIR FATHER'S ARE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ***MANY MEN DON'T CARE ABOUT RAISING BOYS OR RAISING THEM PROPERLY***
so we need to arrest poverty and fatherlessness?
No, we need to arrest CRIMINALITY.
What they don't realize is that their being Wharehoused, your country really hates you, some are up front about it & some just don't want the hassle of being mocked or ridiculed for their racial beliefs......
Love the grandma lol
This is so sad on so many levels
I feel bad for him but, no, he does NOT deserve to get out. 😒 He is still in denial and has not yet come to terms with his life sentence yet.
The man he killed did not deserve to die. He can get out of prison when his victim can get out of the grave.
its all their choice they are bad people
Just seeing this video. I did time with Dwight. We called him tank. Cool guy. We was real close. I did 12 yrs myself. We did like 5 together. While I was there he had a brother come into our cell block. Then a close cousin of his came in. Good dude. Actually had a habit of sucking his thumb! Kinda guy you looked at and said to yourself” if he got out , he would never get locked up again”. Or.. “wtf, how did this kid get here”. Sad.
Mr. Gardner knew better despite his upbringing. NYC, you can see rich and poor. He had the mindset to know there is better.
It is heartbreaking 😥
Because sooo Many Black Men DECIDE To Commit Crimes!
It’s cause they don’t want these guy to repopulate with 7 different baby mamas
You can't fix... That's the sentiment. Just go somewhere else.
People get shortchanged from start and then have to pay the price for their bad fortune? A lot has gone wrong...
social services failed thjis family. they deserve another chance at life
There's a "disproportionate" number behind bars because there's a disproportionate amount committing crimes in the first place. There's no mystery to that. SMH...
Not all black males that are in prison are there because they committed a crime. Like any other race some do commit crimes but the system is also set up to unjustly imprison black males as well. This society is designed to oppress and tear down people of color and if you aren't strong you will fall in the trap of crime, drugs and even death. The oppression is in the job market, on the job, housing, the judicial system, the way they're treated by police and in their daily lives. This is no excuse for the crimes but a symptom. I was raised in a single parent home by my mom along with 4 other siblings and I never been in trouble with the law. I try to lead a good life and even graduated from college with a bachelors degree in IT. However I'm not blinded to the realities of being a black male because I've experienced it and see it.
@@chriswells2953 I could literally eat an entire bowl of alphabet soup and crap out something that makes more sense than what you just typed. What a bunch of garbage, chris. Not buying it for a nanosecond. Try again.
@@ems3832 I wouldn't expect you to. I'm sure you're white and totally out of touch with reality or want to pretend that there is no validity to my comment because you're part of the problem . Not saying all white people think like you but if you read and do a little research you would realize what I said is true. Educated white people understand and acknowledge what I said and black people for sure can relate.
Can you honestly say that the judicial system is fair to people of color or our society in general treat them equally? Let me see how you would react if you were subjected to the same treatment. Not saying crime is the answer because I never been in trouble with the law but you can't say how a race of people should behave unless you have walked in their shoes. Go back to school!!!
I was in this prison for 2 years. It's called Polk in butner Nc or (gladiator school) all youthful offenders in that state like I was go there. if your white like me, you have to fight sometimes 3 or 4 Black people at once everyday all-day untill the police break it up. Most guards just watch the fights then after the fights they come in. Very racist blacks. My charge was armed robbery. I stayed in D4 C-POD they call it "the hood" Which was ran by the bloods gang, their set was called shine. After I started winning most the fights when they jumped me they got along with me really well after I broke some noses and jaws. Especially when they found out I was raised by blood gang members when I was in a group home from a small child to a grown man. I'm a country boy rock and roll white boy but I was raised by blood gang members every since I was a toddler in foster care in Charlotte NC. ❤️
Powers to be rather pay 4 them in prison then have them side to side with them in power
Lol are you even thinking about what you’re saying? So it’s wrong to rather a murderer in prison than in power?? Make it make ..... don’t even try to make it make sense. That’s a ridiculous statement
@@epiphannytaylor3211 if u don't understand it. I can't help you lol
Is it true that someone in USA was sentenced to 26 years in prison for stealing 5 chocolate chip cookies?
NOT TRUE!!!
Thank You Everyone Working In This Field Will Benefit From Watching This Extraordinary Video
Guilty of crime they know the game and are lucky to be there in these soft American prisons try prison in ukraine
Very bad statistics Black let's fight for better future not jail I feel sad for this
It is NOT disproportionate. It is proportionate - coz they commit damn near all the crimes. Gift from Democrats -
It was inevitable that he was going to end up messed up. Not excusing his crime. But parents with kids know what I'm talking about. Kids feed off our energy. Yes some kids make bad decisions. But the percentages of those kids make money for the 1% families that runs this country. Prisons need people for the none tax %. FEMA too will need more of all races pretty soon.
Hold up he robbed a public utilities building while employees cashed their pay checks. What the hell were they is that cashing their paycheck?
This was 20 years ago
How about a State role model How about a country role model! instead of capitalizing off of another person's loss & vulnerability!"How about That!"
Be prepared for gladiator school at Polk youth institution, I've been to that place and it's very bad.
That's so sad
You look older than 30. Which means you were in Polk back when it was poppin. I was there 4 years ago trust me it's just kids playing catch with fruits and shit now. The COs are to be worried about
Hit polk back in 04 on a 8 1/2 yr stretch definitely Gladiator school Back then
@@soonpreddysoon1755 I mean no doubt you gon squabble when you get there but it just ain't like the stories the old heads in the county used to tell me before I got my wake up. I heard in the 90s it was terrible
@@soonpreddysoon1755 i was there 00/01 I went to the hole for assault on a officer barely escape h con and i kept me a lock in a sock,fasho gladiator school,Polk changed my life
Appropriate outcomes! 😁
Oh lookie! Another moon cricket in prison!
Where's the smoke for Dylan Roof, Kyle Rittenhouse, Travis McMichael. and other Lil Darlings...?
Disproportionate???? Noone makes them commit crime. . . .
