These are people that fox news should talk about instead of constantly asking *what about black on black crime*. There are plenty of people working behind the scene to reduce inner city violence but they dont get any mainstream media coverage.
This is Obamas home town and he had 8 years running the show, he had 1 of his top men as mayor man running the show and his party has been running Chicago for 60 plus years and you talking about Fox News?
@@kevinodom2918 I do believe Obama could have done much more than he did. Especially for his home town. But also, imo I don't think Washington would have let him clean up Chicago...
@@edski8536 True. During Obamas 2nd term I realized that he was a puppet & the men behind the scenes pulling the strings were type men you dont mess around with + he had to take care of those that have him a billion dollars to win. When Trump won & obviously told all of them to go to hell we are now seeing what happens when you dont follow directions.
Ja'Mal Green is a jewel. He is brave and compassionate. Trump and mayor should work with him. Great report!!! I hope you continue this program and broadcasting.
This is an amazing series you guys have put together. Sadly, the people who need to see this the most probably wont see this, and they will just go off the notion that you need to put cops in these neighborhoods and the crime will go away. In fact, Chicago used stop and frisk at a rate 4 times higher than New York did at its peak for stop and frisk and it made no difference whatsoever. Its great seeing guys like Ja'Mal try and inspire people in his community, people need to actually listen to the people in Chicago and we we would be much better off.
something I would like to add is that Chicago is more than the south side; the violence that plagues Chicago happens all over the city. it's not just a black person thing, no one ever goes to the west and North sides where there are shootings everyday. and also, to put things into perspective, in the early 90s, crime in Chicago was WAY worse, now with social media more people are exposed to it. maybe that exposure will bring real change eventually.
It's very sad that many South Sider's have been lied to all their lives and don't understand just how relatively speaking their is more opportunity in this country than any other. Sure you can go to Nordic countries and maybe Germany and they will give you a bit of cash and housing for free. But, that does not satisfy the human sole. ...and not hard work wont get it either. You got to provide what others want in this country and you will go far. If you looking for others to provide for you ... you wont go no where... don't understand this huh
I have so much respect for this well spoken young man who has decided to help his community by being part of the solution rather than part of the problem. People like him will be the ones to change things. Hopefully he'll run for office and win one day..What Chicago needs are more people like this who actually " give a damn"..and want change..and are willing to take the time and put in the work. Each one teach one..It takes a village.. stand for something or fall for anything.. Get back to that level of thinking..Rise up and be the Kings and Queen's we were destined to be as black people.. Clean up communities, respect ourselves, each other, our neighborhoods. Support black owned business. Give the children a safe future to look forward to..Stop the senseless killing of one another. Put the guns down.. go to school..get a job. Do something productive with your lives. Don't end up a statistic.. defy stereotypes about the black race.. Get rid of the every man for himself, selfish, crabs in a barrel mentality..Do better..Be better...
As a Puerto Rican male I was born and partially raised in those streets, my parents moved out for our safety but now as a 50 year old I'd. Like to go back and help the community out and give back but I'm not sure where to begin.
All four videos are great! They speak the thruth on life in Chicago for some. I would've loved if you made a video in a Hispanic community to showcase the same realities as in most Black neighborhoods in Chicago. My old neighborhood Back Of The Yards a predominantly Mexican- Mexican American neighborhood along 47th street and bordering Englewood would have been a great addition to your videos. Violence and the lack of social and economic opportunities in Chicago are not just a Black problem in Chicago.
Yes. For some reason these same issues are ignored in the Hispanic community while constantly highlighted, yet NOTHING done about it, in the black community even though we are often together and in the same areas. Over east is a large Mexican and black population but with the way things are reported you wouldn't know we been living together over there for decades. It's like you guys don't exist, it's pretty f up.
"So much violence in this neighbourhood"...So who EXACTLY is violent? The Mayor? The council members? No. The residents. So who is to blame? The problem is complex but only half of the solution can come from "above".
Black people need to start caring about themselves. First no iligetimate children by multiple mamma and baby daddy's and the want for a good education and stop glorifying these thug/thot culture entertainment.
Excellent! Fantastic! Jamal-you are AWESOME! From my perspective, I would be afraid to even go to the inner city to help. Afraid I would be shot. Especially because I am white. That’s the honest truth. To see you stand up and take action just makes me so happy. Keep mentoring. Keep up ALL the great work you do. You have a great plan! God bless you and keep you safe.
Its true the government has turned a blind eye on them.Good job young man, may God grant your wisdom and protect you,as you continue to help your people.
Chicago has not had a Republican mayor since 1931 Detroit has not had a Republican mayor since 1962 St. Louis has not had a Republican mayor since 1949 Milwaukee has not had a Republican (sort of) mayor since 1916 Baltimore has not had a Republican mayor since 1967 And so on. These are among the highest violent crime cities in the U.S. What is that old expression about insanity? Doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result? Meanwhile, cities like Plano, Texas, Anaheim and Irvine California have some of the lowest crime, with a much more mixed/leaning Republican Mayoral composition. By the way, the current Mayor of Plano, Harry LaRosiliere, is black and Republican. So it isn't about race, it's about culture and policy. Are there exceptions? Sure, but the pattern seems pretty clear.
kev3d I sortive agree because when I lived in North Texas it is super diverse and they have Republican leader why is it like that? Not saying they do but why do Democrats contribute to the decaying of black communities I just want some input on that topic because everyone seems to thinks its because they vote Democrats.
kev3d You aren’t really trying to compare Plano Texas and Chicago are you? I grew up in Plano and it’s not exactly diverse. In the early 90s it was over 90% Caucasian and very upper middle class with of course a strong tax base to go with those upper middle class incomes. While the demographics have shifted with upper middle class folks from Asian countries and India moving in lots of folks from India came in for tech jobs. (And FYI there are “whispers” of white flight because those Asian kids are making things a little too competitive in math class... but that’s a different topic.). It’s not a city that is dealing with nearly a century of forced segregation and exclusively lower classes in the area. The tax base gave Plano among the best public schools in the nation, not the worst.
derper derp maybe you should watch the documentary on NWA while you at it and you would look like a clown. That song was made in reply to police brutality in LA you know Rodney King🤦🏽♀️.Yall be too old to be this dumb man
Just an obvious comment from someone coming from someone on the outside looking in... the problem isn't poverty, unemployment etc, it's cultural, the gang sub culture. Here in Australia we have the same sort of poverty in a lot of communities, especially remote communities. Yes there are high levels of crime, by our standards, but nothing like this. Even leaving first world countries out of it, look at other countries around the world, from India through Vietnam, many parts of Europe, Africa etc, people live in poverty but are not killing each other like they do in American cities. Face it, it's the people and their culture that's the problem.
Nope nice try though. As a person who’s actually in the inside it’s because of Racism, Segregation, and poverty. When you deny education, up to date housing, and treat people like animals for 400 years this is what you get. This has nothing to do with culture Black people don’t want to live like this. And you’re a lie it’s even worse in other countries. Children and people are being raped in killed way more than the states.
America. Where the third world and the first world coexist in one city, town or State. This bright, young man Ja'Mal is correct. So were Huey Newton, Bobby Steele, Malcolm X and Angela Davis. ✊🏿✊🏻✊
All though I "admire" the brother fully, and respect his drive...... I kind of feel like, *AJ+* just wanted to end this series on a "feel good" note. It's goin to take more than community centers & throwing dance parties.
@Emcstea why would he donate to someone whose ideas are simplistic and not very constructive or will not go well in the long-run? It's Ja'mal's role to pitch better ideas and then he'll be donated to.
The government should sign an order to ask military to clean up the bad areas with door to door search and ID check, arrest current or previous gang members and send them to educational labor camp, and tear down entire places and rebuild with high rises. Also collect homeless and unstable people and drop them off to a rural area.
The community in South Chicago need to run the drug dealers out of town. Because they didn't do this years ago, the problem is that much more intractable now. That's the only solution, no police, national guard, initiatives from Mr Emanuelle. You've got to all join together and run the drug dealers off the street.
Unfortunately this young man is either misguided or being disingenuous. He is making the same mistake that all liberal and black apologists do; HE ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO PLACE ANY OF THE BLAME ON THE CRIMINALS AND ON BLACK PEOPLE PERIOD!
instead of complaining about police teach your people to join the police force and make a difference become police and work from the other side of the law
"They need guidance; they need resources; they need funding".......... it sounds to me like they need FATHERS. Fathers that stay in the kids lives until they graduate high school.
Ken Gelormini and why do u think the fathers arent there? you think they all just want to be absent in their childrens lives? also to think simply having fathers is going to solve gun violence and the many economic problems is short sighted.
@@halohair1118 Not all want to be absent in their children's life , but where are they? As long as men have several kids with different women , it sure is cheaper for them to stay away . The first step to be present for children , is to pay for half the living expenses . You know how expensive it is to give kids a halfway decent life? Many American men are not used to, and they are not willing to take care of their kids. They do not even go halfway , most woman have no choice but to be mother and father at the same time everyday. Anybody male or female should not have more kids than they personally can afford without having to raise them on public aid.
Kicked out of 9 schools??? This man is a MENACE 😂 btw I’m from the south side of Chicago. There is NO community center on 79th and Ashland…. Wtf happened to that $41k? 🤔
Its funny you say theres so much violence and you need jobs but the violence has to stop before people open up a business, owning your own business is a nightmare and i would never open my business in a community where bullets are flying. It doesnt take more than a few bad months of sales to go out of business. Perhaps more security around to secure safety at the new businesses would start something going. Definitely need security 24/7 around any area up for business
I watched your series on I think you've produced a documentary series that explains how the Chicago was and is today. I think now you should investigate the guns situation in the City of Chicago. You should begin with a US Supreme Court case Mc Donald v. City of Chicago (which struck down the strict gun laws which were in place) to the trafficing of illegal guns to Chicago from neighboring states, because gun violence is a big part of the problem and it has turned some areas into war zones. Economic development (which is the answer to turning many of these communities around) can't be attracted until the gun violence is addressed...there's a little food for thought
+Blind cameraman Check out our documentary on Chicago's Struggle With Gun Violence: ruclips.net/video/QbkA1e_uj_E/видео.html. It's part of our documentary series, Guns In America: ajplus.co/gunseries4
How can you see a 2 year old - killed - how can you not be affected? Who killed the child? Black on Black violence. Stop the blame game. Good on J for trying to do good. Get rid of the guns and drugs.
Jamal 2% of vote from 2023 election run for Chicago mayoral race at age 26. That must be a city record The youngest running candidate To get 2% of votes ❣️
Is she for real about being a Chicago native? She sounds nothing like one and hasn't been to Harold's before??? She doesn't exactly have the authority to rip into people for fleeing the city when she hardly knows the place and in fact moved off to San Fran herself...
Jobs, birth control, National Guard. And blackout social media for residents of Chicago under 25. Facebook and ig live is fueling a shit load of conflict.
To stop the violence, you have to change the culture; to change the culture you have change the incentive which is linked to poverty. And capitalism has no interest in reducing poverty.
Here's the truth: it starts with the family...even If there are no fathers in the home, we need to empower mothers, grandparents, and extended relatives to be responsible for their young people. Break the generational curses of poverty and dependence on the govt to get you out of your situation. Stop blaming white people for issues that plague the black community. Ownership and accountability is needed. Children do not come out of womb gang-banging and violent. This is learned behavior from the environment. If blacks don't take responsibility for their actions and hold themselves accountable to promote positive influences and neighborhoods, then who else will...just saying🤨
My ancestors had a fourth grade education, and they managed to put off having children until they were in their 20's. After that, they restricted themselves to three kids each. So forgive me if I don't fall for the "lack of education" excuse.
White people have kids everyday lmao just because they see the growing number of minorites pregnancy becomes a problem I live in a small white town there are alot of under age white mothers and live on section 8 but they get no reaction the surrounding small towns are by far more on wellfare and have just as many kids if not more and oh all of them are on drugs!
more like shitty culture. these kids have access to education - they just dont utilize it. this isnt an education problem.. this is a problem of female blacks choosing to have sex with the wrong men, then again choosing to carry their babies to term when they have no resources to support said babies. period. end of story.
Why don't any big documentary media makers come to milwaukee? More guns were seized in milwaukee than chicago last year and it's the most segregated in the nation. How's that work?
unfortunately it's more then "opportunity" in a big city, if your block has no opportunity you can hop on the bus for 5 minutes and find opportunity. This problem is much deeper. When they tore down the projects and relocated all the families, the crime followed, regardless of the new opportunities in the new area they lived. This problem is deeply inbeded in these people.
No kidding .... people risk their lives traveling thousands of miles to get to this country!!! Other people wont travel 5 for opportunity because certain people have brain washed them into thinking uncle Sam is gonna bail them out.
This series has been informative but a little too left leaning. Is the world to be convinced that black people are killing at such high numbers each other because of racism? As a black person who has been all over the country, this is insulting because you can go into poor neighborhoods populated by other races and not see half of the violence that you see in Englewood or Chatham. This issue is an internal issue that black need to address. What can we do to stop killing each other and stop blaming others for what we are doing to ourselves?
I Love Chicago it's my home. but We have to get rid of all these gangs and criminals to o many people have died for idiotic reasons. it's horrible to say but the direction some of these neighborhoods are going it seems like Chicago is never going to recuperate.

Definitely need security 24/7 around any area up for business
bring it Back Y'all have Done EnoughLord Knows😭😭🌏😇💥💗😎😎😎
Money isn't going to solve the issue, only God's will.
If you want to change the world,
Start with yourself.
And my parents want to move to Chicago....
Move to Oblock...youll be aiight....nah just joking😂😅😹😅
I watched your series on I think you've produced a documentary series that explains how the Chicago was and is today. I think now you should investigate the guns situation in the City of Chicago. You should begin with a US Supreme Court case Mc Donald v. City of Chicago (which struck down the strict gun laws which were in place) to the trafficing of illegal guns to Chicago from neighboring states, because gun violence is a big part of the problem and it has turned some areas into war zones.
Economic development (which is the answer to turning many of these communities around) can't be attracted until the gun violence is addressed...there's a little food for thought
+Blind cameraman Check out our documentary on Chicago's Struggle With Gun Violence: ruclips.net/video/QbkA1e_uj_E/видео.html. It's part of our documentary series, Guns In America: ajplus.co/gunseries4
This guy puts on a huge front.
How can you see a 2 year old - killed - how can you not be affected? Who killed the child? Black on Black violence. Stop the blame game. Good on J for trying to do good. Get rid of the guns and drugs.
Jamal 2% of vote from 2023 election run for Chicago mayoral race at
age 26. That must be a city record
The youngest running candidate
To get 2% of votes ❣️
Is she for real about being a Chicago native? She sounds nothing like one and hasn't been to Harold's before??? She doesn't exactly have the authority to rip into people for fleeing the city when she hardly knows the place and in fact moved off to San Fran herself...
bless u j.. but plz becareful J....
Jobs, birth control, National Guard. And blackout social media for residents of Chicago under 25. Facebook and ig live is fueling a shit load of conflict.
3 years passed since this video and things only got worse
To stop the violence, you have to change the culture; to change the culture you have change the incentive which is linked to poverty. And capitalism has no interest in reducing poverty.
I mean gentrification is still bad as well, but not the the badness of poverty and violence
At the beginning when they were talking about 79th....... was that LilHerb's 79Th ?
Chicago needs a Lincoln Clay.
What do you with the street gangs?
Truce are possible ask Uptown/Buena Park ❣️
like they telling you what the problem is
Here's the truth: it starts with the family...even If there are no fathers in the home, we need to empower mothers, grandparents, and extended relatives to be responsible for their young people. Break the generational curses of poverty and dependence on the govt to get you out of your situation. Stop blaming white people for issues that plague the black community. Ownership and accountability is needed. Children do not come out of womb gang-banging and violent. This is learned behavior from the environment. If blacks don't take responsibility for their actions and hold themselves accountable to promote positive influences and neighborhoods, then who else will...just saying🤨
Nobody wants to say that birth control is a (if not the) solution. Teen pregnancy ruined all of these cities, and not just Chicago.
what do you think caused all these teen pregnancies? LACK OF EDUCATION!
My ancestors had a fourth grade education, and they managed to put off having children until they were in their 20's. After that, they restricted themselves to three kids each. So forgive me if I don't fall for the "lack of education" excuse.
White people have kids everyday lmao just because they see the growing number of minorites pregnancy becomes a problem I live in a small white town there are alot of under age white mothers and live on section 8 but they get no reaction the surrounding small towns are by far more on wellfare and have just as many kids if not more and oh all of them are on drugs!
MondoBeno different times. Nice try. My ancestors....
more like shitty culture. these kids have access to education - they just dont utilize it. this isnt an education problem.. this is a problem of female blacks choosing to have sex with the wrong men, then again choosing to carry their babies to term when they have no resources to support said babies. period. end of story.
00:20 *gets flashed by redlight camera*
Chance is from 79th
1:57 the Gallagher house?
This dude raised money to buy a community center, hopefully he didn't use those funds to lease a Jaguar for himself.
Binary-Technique you know that’s what he did. Black people love exploiting other blacks situations. Look at Jesse Jackson
Binary-Technique He did both 🤷🏾♂️
Why don't any big documentary media makers come to milwaukee? More guns were seized in milwaukee than chicago last year and it's the most segregated in the nation. How's that work?
Love my city #Chitown #WindyCity
unfortunately it's more then "opportunity" in a big city, if your block has no opportunity you can hop on the bus for 5 minutes and find opportunity. This problem is much deeper. When they tore down the projects and relocated all the families, the crime followed, regardless of the new opportunities in the new area they lived. This problem is deeply inbeded in these people.
No kidding .... people risk their lives traveling thousands of miles to get to this country!!! Other people wont travel 5 for opportunity because certain people have brain washed them into thinking uncle Sam is gonna bail them out.
he can sing well too
This series has been informative but a little too left leaning. Is the world to be convinced that black people are killing at such high numbers each other because of racism? As a black person who has been all over the country, this is insulting because you can go into poor neighborhoods populated by other races and not see half of the violence that you see in Englewood or Chatham. This issue is an internal issue that black need to address. What can we do to stop killing each other and stop blaming others for what we are doing to ourselves?
I Love Chicago it's my home. but We have to get rid of all these gangs and criminals to o many people have died for idiotic reasons. it's horrible to say but the direction some of these neighborhoods are going it seems like Chicago is never going to recuperate.
Democrats don't care as long as they can get rich off of the misery of their addle-minded supporters.
and its being ignored
