Lmao pride of place has 0 to do with why Philly is the way it is. Philly, like most predominantly Black areas, has been historically looted for centuries. It's marred by governmental neglect and intentional concentrated poverty. Philly has a trash problem, yes, but the physical trash can be cleaned up, the socioeconomic trash is way more extensive, sinsister and far-reaching.
@starlettawilliams93 20 күн бұрын
Well the mayor is trying to clean up the streets of trash it's definitely not gonna happen overnight. I'm from North Philly but raised my kids in Mount Airy. I took my kids to the neighborhood I grew up in and my daughter was like mom why does the street look like an alley way. I told her because some people don't take pride in their neighborhood. I remember growing in the 80's we had weekly block cleanings. They are tryna bring that back as well.

Miss Lisa Ling... im a 38 year old man and throughout your successes you might not remember but my favorite part of middle school was the beginning of class where they had school announcements and my favorite part of the day, please do not take any type of offense to this but i used to have the biggest crush on my favorite part of the school day watching you report on channel one news in the Cherry Creek district of Colorado... i promise you im no stalker type of man just had a flash back when i was just a young kid learning the ways of life... big ups to you mrs. Lisa Ling for everything and all you do and have accomplished throughout these years... seeing how professional you were i knew you were going to become someone important and more famous than you were... the best part is that you work these hard/dangerous jobs and if you wanted to throw your name out there youde be on every magazine cover winning awards but it shows you really care for what you do and you dont look at it like everyone else would and just try to get there face and name out there but youre different.. big ups miss Lisa!

The problem is that these kids don't have a positive father figure in their lives when they were growing up and they look at their homeboys and criminals as their role models. A lot of these men in the video are old with grey hair and beard, but they still haven't grown up. I feel sorry for these mothers. They give so much of themselves to their kids and they are so helpless in this situation.

As an African American woman you don’t know what you are talking about. It is well known that the powers that be, put drugs and guns in the black community. I work in a place with hundreds of employees and there are less than a handful of full of black men and half of them are gay and that is for a reason. I run a small business on the side and someone in my townhouse community filed a complaint against me stating that I am running an illegal business, when I have a business license and I pay taxes. I have to go to court to prove it in two weeks. It’s called racism miss and it’s real.

If you grow up in a broken family with no father or a criminal one and a mother that works a lot or who may have addiction issues it’s not on your mind.
