I was 6 when this happened. I only heard about this because of the boy who died recent in Chicago, Derrion Albert, they referenced this when talking about death in inner cities. Both stories are so sad. Yummy mother had no business having kids. She messed them up bad and now cause of her stupidity, her kids and many others were hurt or killed. Very sad, people in the hood really need to learn. As a black person, I have no problem saying black people need to learn. It’s so annoying watching black people killing each other and tearing each other down. Damn, when will they learn????? It’s embarrassing.

Wow, just wow….amazing story….

I was born in 1988, so I don’t remember when this happened. But I grew up in the 9th Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana….IN THE HOOD…but you know what I had…a STRONG black man as a FATHER….I’m making it and all I can do is thank God for a strong family. They are not without their faults, like myself, but I knew and know love. This young boy had no family to turn to and therefor had no real love. ‘You can’t make it without your family’. That should be evident. All the city programs couldn’t save him because at the end of the day, all they could do is send him back to his family.

The problem is not that complicated if you break it down to the lowest common dominator…babies are havin babies, and when your a baby yourself, first off, you can’t make the responsible decision on who to make a baby with and secondly, you can’t raise a child when you yourself is a child.

A quote from the article…

“Yummy’s mother was the third of 10 children from four fathers she never knew her own. When she was 15 she had her first son Lorenzo, then Victor, then Yummy and eventually five more.”

Let that marinate for a minute……Black people we are cursing ourselves..that’s a curse people…Yummy’s mother grew up that way, then she turned out the same way…

“Where are the father’s?” Ask the mothers. Because if they were responsible enough to choose to reproduce with someone willing to make a commitment with them (i.e. marriage…or damn, atleast be in the child[ren]’s life) then that question need not to be answered. As a black man I’m appalled at my people’s inability is take responsibly for the hell we’ve helped put ourselves in. Hell yea the cards are stacked against us, put we are also at fault for sittin’ there, not only just taking the sub-standard lifestyle given to us, but also perpuating the same things keeping us down, from outside forces, onto ourselves.

I challenge everyone who read this to really look at the way they’re living (especially black people) AND DEMAND MORE, first for yourself, because you can help no one until you help yourself, then DEMAND MORE for your people.

I’m out peace and love

A great post of a what is a truly tragic story. Hopefully that kid has found the peace in death that he could never find in life.
