@Google sucks there are some studies in psychology that could help with understanding this situation. You are correct that the same options are open to everyone. But the warped nature of reality that these extreme situations create, makes seeing other options, quite literally, impossible to see. They need help, not your judgement.
damn, As a suburban kid I can’t imagine what he went through and still goes through, and what people around that life go through. We gotta stop this. Wow making 100k a year! Finding what he likes to do! Jermaine is so awesome!
way to go my young brother. keep on spreading the truth. help the youth see. help the older see. help the government see. you have the eyes and have seen the effects . my prayers are with you. I am so proud of you.
@@shadowdagoat999 .Oh heres another one who thinks hes god without the omnipotence to back it up. sounds like you are being self righteous again. You can only be accountable for the options you have to choose from. Basic logic. You arent what you think you are.
She cut him off to ask about his childhood. She just needed to let him say whatever he wanted to say. He wasn't looking to talk about his youth, he had things to say bigger than himself. I would like to hear him talk more, about what he thinks about the actual problem. She wanted him to talk about himself.
I like his honesty. He kept it real. WE don't choose our parents, however, we can choose our future. Yes, life can be challenging, but we have to persevere.
This video made me cry. These kids teens and adults need urgent mental health care and supportive loving parenting. This is intergenerational trauma due to being a descendent of slaves. The families that benefited from slavery financially could perhaps finance this historical urban social and racial malaise.
Everytime he says something she contradicts him. Him: "We need to give them what they say they need--" Her: " AND give them love and affection." Him: "Violence has gone done." Her: "I still see murders on the news." Literally, she's white washing this issue. The way she handled this interview says, we don't need to do anything. Look at the black ex-gang member tell black gangs to behave.
We continue to elect city leaders who do not or can not relate to the situation/ problem that is at hand… until we elect or listen to the people (this man) things will not and can not change…
Smart young man! The only thing i disagree with is when he said dont judge my choices. If you are robbing and hurting innocent people it doesnt matter to them why you are doing it. There is no justification for it. Im glad to see he is doing well and i hope he spreads his success.
Really I think he means his life was based on survival. He had no support system or role models. I doubt that many of us given the same circumstances would do any differently than he did. When you haven't walked in someone's shoes, you just don't know.
@@TheJanet4321 i grew up in the south florida hood , I have walked in his shoes. I understand his situation but you cant justify hurting people by saying" i have a hard life". I did things when i was young that i regret, but you cant make sxcuses for it either. Own it and dont do it again. I like this young man he has the self awareness to be successful.
I got respect for this brotha at least he gets it maybe some of these others will wake up and stop being a bunch of sellouts killing each other over bull shit
( Love Ethics Education and Hope ) is what will fix this .... those 4 things.... Having TWO loving, caring, ethical , educated , hard working parents are the key. Most black children do not have a two parent home and too many never feel truly loved and do not have any role models that are successful to learn from ... Drugs, poverty, peer pressure , lack of education and street culture are eating away at these kids where at a certain point, its too late then they quit school and its pretty much over at that point.. Nobody is going to hire some 22 yr old guy that can barely read with gold teeth and can not speak English properly , and has a history of crime and or violence .... The schools in the city or horrible, single mothers, and Hip Hop /Rap Culture is a poison for many reasons .... These kids need role models and with love and hope ....
I think its great if anyone wants to do better in life and turn their life around. But if you have shot and killed people and destroyed other families, you should still have to serve your time in prison for your prior actions while you are in the process of doing the RIGHT THING!!!
This is why drug addicts should not have kids. Its just a start. There are other solutions too. Welfare reform can start with drug testing. Having kids is not a right its a responsibility. Alot of addicted Welfare recipients keep having kids for the check. Thats truth
I use to watch gangland and they all had the same story about their parents or maybe their mom because daddy was screwing somebody else or in jail or dead all had to do with drugs . Why doesn't Ice tea or Ice Cube or Snoop Dod and others with these kids they where gang members
Because snoop ice t and ice cube when they lived in the hood or did dirt they got a talent and when they had kids they moved them to a nicer neighborhood at a young age so now that they grown they can’t really identify or feel wat they parents went threw being poor only stories photos or tooken to the place kinda got a golden ticket to not live in proverty or thug life fully they bless to wake up and can drive a g wagon or not worry of selling drugs to help mama or daddy wit bills that’s why snoop dog tell his kids they spoiled cuz they jus don’t knw hw lucky they are to breath n not worry of being poor as him n others was by having a talent to get they family out the hood
I thought Jesus already did his job when he was crucified, why yall trying to beat the dead horse? How about ya stop and take some responsibility yourself to make a difference
"Former serial killer explains how to stop big city serial killing." I have little to no practice violent criminals and I damn sure not interested in what they have to say, former or not.
@@karl1977 nah, it's bullsh*t. I listened to the dude. I personally hate when people do stupid shit and then lecture others on why they also shouldn't do stupid shit. It's annoys me just like you talking to me with your opinions. And ask yourself this - who's he talking to? What gang member is watching News Nation? Is he talking to me? Because I had common sense NOT to joined a gang. The comment by the woman named Shemmeka is justified because she has many baby daddies who look and act just like genius in the video; that's why she's sympathetic (Shemmeka LOOOOOOOOOL, what a name). She's going to deal with dudes like him her WHOLE life and then turn around and blame the white man why she ain't sh*t; and you're just a simpleton. A person, such as yourself, who is in awe of a former criminal (who might have blood on his hands or a few murders under his belt) isn't on my level. Yours in Christ, bye!

It dosen't matter as a black man the hood has no excuses for what they do to people don't feel bad for them they don't care about you
Wish this guy all the Best! Need more young men listening to what he is saying.
I'm SO PROUD OF THIS 🙏❤️ GUY. 👍👍🙏
Excellent young man! Need more following his example.
They are everyday they are dying
Not having someone to let down.. bro thats real shit

Don't fall for it

Congratulations young man. GOD ALMIGHTY continually Bless you continually. Great story to hear in these times we living in.
Yes
Don't let the devil fool you
I'm from Chicago and no way do i consider myself as messed up
"dont judge my choices when you didnt see my options" thats a good one.
Great excuse sounds like "Don't let me take accountability for my actions" it's always somebody else's fault

Good interview, poor interviewer.
Replace Lori, with this guy, he is making more sense, than her...y didn't she let him speak to addressing the problem.....
She cut him off to ask about his childhood. She just needed to let him say whatever he wanted to say. He wasn't looking to talk about his youth, he had things to say bigger than himself. I would like to hear him talk more, about what he thinks about the actual problem. She wanted him to talk about himself.
It starts with you self control
I like his honesty. He kept it real. WE don't choose our parents, however, we can choose our future. Yes, life can be challenging, but we have to persevere.
Jermaine, God Bless!!
What’s sad is this interview has only received 7200 views.
I need to hear this 👂🏾
Young man was about to go deep, I would love to hear that story on the syphilis, great job
I saw his dad on a episode of Gangland. Crazy how they found him
this man has something important to say but this spot is too small. Forum does not have the time nor audience that he needs!!!
What an amazing story! Keep staying strong, never give up!

Black people in the hood need to do right by themselves why does the black community need a savior are y'all stupid?
