Charlie you giving these young dudes a platform to talk is indirect therapy for them . some may not like what they say but this the best way they know how to open up without feeling vulnerable
HoodLife Goh they always say their gang is called money block but before it was that they said the area was part of the stone nation one of the older gangs in Chicago...now a days every block got its own gang no more organization
Q Mclin you right dude! They tryin ta make it as rappers! They are just kids hanging out with each other and watching out for each other from the real Gang Bangers who just might drive by and target them!
Young Charlie seems like the moral support guy in the neighborhood. He's just open about stuff and understands deep thinking better than the other ones...
I agree, I thought that in the last video. Given a fair chance, Charlie could def make something of himself, but how can that be when the people who are suppose to protect him, are the ones screwing him over.

I'm a 42 year old white guy and work in Engelwood, and other bad hoods these "gangs" never hassle me, they know I'm not a threat to their business and I respect that it's their neighborhood. I don't agree with what they do but on the other hand it's a different world in there, there's not alot of opportunity for them. It's kind of like third world. I often think about these guys when I'm off work and back home out in Dekalb county, at one point I thought about trying to buy property in Engelwood and build a bmx track for the young kids but I just don't have the funds and the city is a pain in the ass with their hoops to jump through. they need opportunity and mentors and ways to make money, The city should focus on projects that create opportunity for these guys instead of pouring millions into trying to win the Olympics and impressing Amazon. They built a Whole foods and a Starbucks near Engelwood so Rahm Emanual can go on tv and say their trying to cure the food desert, WTF I can't even afford to shop at Whole Foods. These politicians in Illinois are so far out of touch with these neighborhoods, it's a dog and pony show.
Thank you sir. Racist dumb fuks are a disgrace to white Folks. They really don’t like to look at some of the corruption that causes this outcome. Some black folks don’t like to admit they are part of it also. Everybody need to hold these politicians accountable.

In Europe we also have bad people but atleast they not gonna take a life but they will beat you or mark you for life, But atleast we have older generation who slap the youth if they go to far wich happens alot.... Sad that you need to fear to get shot thats not normal and would not be allowed in a normal society..
Moke n Friendz no they don’t...this is what they think is the life and what’s popular to do..if hip hop today taught schooling and going to college instead of gangs sex and guns then these kids wouldn’t even be out on the street they’d be studying lol
Tristan , it doesn't have to be that way. The situation can be fixed, but it requires leadership and guts. First of all, the majority of the people are basically good people. Seems like 95 % of the problems are caused by 5% of the people. The residents of these neighborhoods need to unite under the idea of "We are not going to live in fear of these thugs any longer." They need to get actively involved to rid the cancer that plagues their neighborhoods. Putting their heads together, they can figure out a plan, if they try. I said it will take guts, but their survival depends on it. They probably already know who the bad actors are and where they live. That is a start. Don't break the law, but put a LOT of pressure on them.

I believe him when he said the cops planted drugs on him ive seen videos of cops doing that and its real before i never believed it but now i have a whole new perspective
Thats an old and common excuse, have police planted drugs yes but it doesn't happen like they are accused of doing. These dudes are suspicious hence the constant fear in them. and its not cause of the police
I do the same thing I'm in Canada ain't nothing wrong with being aware the ones that walk around with earbuds in or texting and walking are asking for trouble.

6:34 was interesting... He didnt realize the gravity of what he was saying at that time because he's probably seen and been through soo much. I believe him.
Thank you for getting these young men's perspectives. They clearly want to be heard & want to know that others care about them & aren't just talking shit about them.
@@joelspivak6622 You're part of the reason. You people always stereotype everyone you meet and never give them a chance. You probably don't even live in chicago. People here really want things to change but don't know how, or that they are too scared to do anything because they might be shot at or be taken as a joke. Be in their shoes and try to change things here yourself and see how hard it is.
Are you from England? Because they think you have "bad grammar" if you don't pronounce the words in THEIR language the way they do. Has nothing to do with how "smart" someone is..

I came from Africa to the USA to better my life. i remember there was time worked over 72 hours a week. And now im proud to say own two houses and finishing my nursing school. Remember the only way you going to change or make it is if you work hard without losing hope. You guys are doing exactly what I was doing back in Africa which is nothing. Someone said hope they make it.let me tell you something if you were born in the U.S.A soil that means you have made it period. all you have to do is work hard simple is that. money isn't going to come to you. You have to chase it by working hard not losing hope. Stop chasing the street The streets are owned by the CITY. you will not make money. Chase something that's owned by FED which is money💲💲💲📣.
tee efrem Things are not that simple, if it was there wouldn’t be any hoods.This has a historical aspect to it minority’s that are oppressed historically usually have a hard time succeeding.For example native Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and Americans. They all have a hard time finding jobs and have little education, plus they were all historically oppressed.

Milwaukee Ice first of all no, second of all of course they hate white people. The government puts them in housing projects cause of low income, takes away their funding for education, and then some wealthy white person comes along and orders demolition of the places where they live. And then we’re told to fight against the government, but what the fuck are we supposed to do, it’s the government. It’s a broken system.
Great informative video. Thanks, guys for being willing to talk, I am from the West Coast, Cali! Keep yall heads up for a brighter day and education is everything. Pump this knowledge to the children.
I’m glad to see that some of these dudes from Chicago have a decent perspective on their reality. I sincerely hope that these lads find a way out to a better and fulfilling life.
i grew up in the drug game I have a an extremely healthy amount of paranoia. It payed off at the time because I was never really busted and could spot a cop from miles away but now it sucks because i'm always in fight or flight mode. I got extremely good at reading people's actual intentions, and have a ridiculously accurate intuition now because of it. The phrase, "Trust your gut" definitely came from someone like us, because 99% of the time, it's right.
They should ask BLM for 25 million dollars... but unfortunately that organization doesn't really care about black people, they just pocket the money for themselves.
I live in africa i have never understood why our brothers in the USA are in gangs. Here we are oppressed by our gvt and poor countries. There they oppress themselves. I hope one day they stop the gangs and achieve their potential. One love
I mean people are getting killed and shot in schools, churches, malls, walmarts, movies, concerts...so living in that area they are from getting shot and killed by going to the store by a rival gang or such sounds more real and believable than thoes other things i mentioned.
Charlie you got balls for doing this. You can tell those guys are low key paranoid because they know shit could go down at any moment, sad situation because growing up in this part of Chicago is like growing up in a war zone

Hey i was wondering how you manage to score interviews with gang members. Like how do you start the conversation and get them to trust you and be on camera? I ask because I'm interested in starting a video series that involves interviewing drug dealers.
john S I’m not 100% sure on this but when he says “he had Buckeyes in the back seat” I believe he meant he plays the buckets (like drums) 4 money hence “I do positive things 4 my money” . Igpf ur unfamiliar look up “bucket street performers “
Man I'm from West Africa yet I still understand what they're saying. How come you guys are not understanding these brothers??? Ignorant or just being racist🤔
This is actually the true English you are listening to. American Black Ebonics is rooted in the court of King Charles. Charles' court was developing a stuck up lazy upper class mumblecore ebonics just as were the French upper class. Charles was overthrown by puritan reformists and this put a stop to ebonics in England. Some of Charles' court then founded the Virginia plantations. Everything was there in Charles' court. The potty mouth and pimp chivalry is well documented. Words like "aksed" and "aint" are the correct original. The use of double negatives like "Aint no way.." was there because English (then still or only before, not sure) had declensions like Russian or Latin. (The declensions were lost due to non-compatible French and Latin words being added to English.) The lazy pronunciation and all of it was there. This is why we are so endlessly drawn to it and why any man who can speak it resists so hard giving it up. We are hearing the voice of our King.
They smart tho ..people being so negative and putting them down but if you really listening to em instead of looking at em like a joke they really speaking the truth 🙌🏼 I pray they get up out of where they are stuck and they succeed 🙏🏼
Is true thou about the city sticker in the windshield in the city of Chicago is 100 plus for a piece of shit sticker that probably cost the city pennies to make.

I hate the war on drugs, I've done time for marijuana. I agree with him. On the other hand, he's bs'ing talking about trapping, then saying the cops planted H on him. They caught him holding, or somebody in his car stashed it and he ended up taking the charge.
It’s ptsd...I live in this city and if you don’t make an effort to even try to understand (or know people who live there or are from there), you wouldn’t have a clue what some people go through every day. It’s easy to blame them and demonize them but shit they have seen more death than some cops have in little cities around the country. Given everything that’s going on these days..no one knows what to do to make anything better. I love what you do. Thanks for posting this. I’m never gonna really know but I want to know as much as I can

These young brothers desire to be heard. No disrespect intended when talking over another. Recognize and learn about the culture and communication style of articulate young, aspiring men. They are attempting to provide you with an upfront state of the climate in Englewood. Quite frankly, don't get caught slipping by being naive of your surroundings in this treacherous city. Corrupt and Racist Law Enforcement Officers in addition to individuals that are seeking to come up if they suspect weakness to the Chicago lifestyle. Better be aware of your surroundings at all times on the Southside or Westside of Chicago. Unfortunately, this is the awareness that is required for your survival in most instances. Systematically designed and created by historical Racist Oppressors in this segregated city. The ideology espoused by hateful Racists is the hope that the African American population continues to Self-destruct on all engineered fronts. By eliminating essential community resources and failing public schools, the eventual outcome and purpose is to incarcerate hopeless African American Men and Women as well as dismantling all employment opportunities in the respective communities. Sell drugs, rape, murder, burglarize, home invasions, fail to complete their education, place the Teachers in the unemployment line, break up the family, divest all resources in the African American Communities, hire more Pigs, dismantle the House of Worship, bleed the residents with additional taxes, steal from the pensions, make affordable housing unattainable, healthcare limitations, shutdown agencies that offer mental health services, eliminate all threats by murdering innocent young people, pollute the air, water and environment, make obtaining quality food unobtainable in the inner-city and offer hopelessness to the homeless populations. This ideology has been orchestrated and mandated by Democrats and Republicans as well as the Criminal Justice System throughout AMERIKKKA. The Oppressor HATES you and doesn't want you to live in the future.
@@theace7212 Brother, that goes without saying. As an African American Historian and former resident of this great city, I feel a responsibility to educate our Sister and Brothers even more about the realities of urban survival and systematic oppression and segregation. Young people are not being taught in Chicago Public Schools about history anymore. We must wake them up to the orchestrated and mandated genocide mandated by the Master Anglo-Saxon Terrorists masquerading as human beings.

His life is what he will make of it. Lots of opportunities out there. Other Blacks have done it, so can he, as long as he is alive. (He may not be if he keeps doing what he is doing now, in the "hood.")

I came from Africa to the USA to better my life. i remember there was time worked over 72 hours a week. And now im proud to say own two houses and finishing my nursing school. Remember the only way you going to change or make it is if you work hard without losing hope. You guys are doing exactly what I was doing back in Africa which is nothing. Someone said hope they make it.let me tell you something if you were born in the U.S.A soil that means you have made it period. all you have to do is work hard simple is that. money isn't going to come to you. You have to chase it by working hard not losing hope. Stop chasing the street The streets are owned by the CITY. you will not make money. Chase something that's owned by FED which is money💲💲💲📣.
tee efrem Things are not that simple, if it was there wouldn’t be any hoods.This has a historical aspect to it minority’s that are oppressed historically usually have a hard time succeeding.For example native Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and Americans. They all have a hard time finding jobs and have little education, plus they were all historically oppressed.

As someone not in a gang but with PTSD, I am also always on alert and ready.
i grew up in the drug game I have a an extremely healthy amount of paranoia. It payed off at the time because I was never really busted and could spot a cop from miles away but now it sucks because i'm always in fight or flight mode. I got extremely good at reading people's actual intentions, and have a ridiculously accurate intuition now because of it. The phrase, "Trust your gut" definitely came from someone like us, because 99% of the time, it's right.

This is actually the true English you are listening to. American Black Ebonics is rooted in the court of King Charles. Charles' court was developing a stuck up lazy upper class mumblecore ebonics just as were the French upper class. Charles was overthrown by puritan reformists and this put a stop to ebonics in England. Some of Charles' court then founded the Virginia plantations. Everything was there in Charles' court. The potty mouth and pimp chivalry is well documented. Words like "aksed" and "aint" are the correct original. The use of double negatives like "Aint no way.." was there because English (then still or only before, not sure) had declensions like Russian or Latin. (The declensions were lost due to non-compatible French and Latin words being added to English.) The lazy pronunciation and all of it was there. This is why we are so endlessly drawn to it and why any man who can speak it resists so hard giving it up. We are hearing the voice of our King.

These young brothers desire to be heard. No disrespect intended when talking over another. Recognize and learn about the culture and communication style of articulate young, aspiring men. They are attempting to provide you with an upfront state of the climate in Englewood. Quite frankly, don't get caught slipping by being naive of your surroundings in this treacherous city. Corrupt and Racist Law Enforcement Officers in addition to individuals that are seeking to come up if they suspect weakness to the Chicago lifestyle. Better be aware of your surroundings at all times on the Southside or Westside of Chicago. Unfortunately, this is the awareness that is required for your survival in most instances. Systematically designed and created by historical Racist Oppressors in this segregated city. The ideology espoused by hateful Racists is the hope that the African American population continues to Self-destruct on all engineered fronts. By eliminating essential community resources and failing public schools, the eventual outcome and purpose is to incarcerate hopeless African American Men and Women as well as dismantling all employment opportunities in the respective communities. Sell drugs, rape, murder, burglarize, home invasions, fail to complete their education, place the Teachers in the unemployment line, break up the family, divest all resources in the African American Communities, hire more Pigs, dismantle the House of Worship, bleed the residents with additional taxes, steal from the pensions, make affordable housing unattainable, healthcare limitations, shutdown agencies that offer mental health services, eliminate all threats by murdering innocent young people, pollute the air, water and environment, make obtaining quality food unobtainable in the inner-city and offer hopelessness to the homeless populations. This ideology has been orchestrated and mandated by Democrats and Republicans as well as the Criminal Justice System throughout AMERIKKKA. The Oppressor HATES you and doesn't want you to live in the future.

Young people are not being taught in Chicago Public Schools about history anymore. We must wake them up to the orchestrated and mandated genocide mandated by the Master Anglo-Saxon Terrorists masquerading as human beings.
