What's Going On in Chicago and Why Are Children Hurting One Another?

What's Going On in Chicago and Why Are Children Hurting One Another?

Jen Fad · Thursday, October 1st 2009 at 12:38AM · 357 views
My heart is heavy by the senseless death of Derrion Albert, a 16-year-old honor student who was beaten to death by some other boys in a Southside Chicago neighborhood. I just don't know why parents aren't being responsible for the rearing of their children. Someone needs to be held accountable for the death of this little kid who was an innocent victim on his way home from school.

No, no, no I'm not talking about blaming the police or the elected officials, but I fault the parent(s) of the boys who committed this injustice. Where is the evidence of their training these young ruffians? I am not as upset with the police or the EMS service (that took 20 minutes to get to Derrion); I'm upset with the parent(s) who failed these kids who have now committed this heinous act. We have got to get back to training our children.

Hello Ms. Fad,

You said this, “We have got to get back to training our children.”

Ms. Fad Black Americans needs a permanent solution. The only permanent solution is that we become a sovereign people or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way.

Naturally, when we get the space that we must have only then could we effectively train our children.

What say you?


Jen Fad Thursday, October 1st 2009 at 10:13AM

Brother Harry what say you about my thoughts that the Black people in America that won't train their kids should temporarily stop having kids until "they" can get their
own nation?

Jen Fad Thursday, October 1st 2009 at 10:22AM

Sorry Siebra... I didn't realize that you already did a blog on this until today when I was looking back at prior blogs... Great post by the way.

MIISRAEL Bride Thursday, October 1st 2009 at 4:14PM

Feel hopeful Jen. Sooner than later I believe parents will take better control over their children. This is a change that will need to take place at home, each neighborhood with the assistance of every community and law enforcement to come to aid. It's too bad many more will die in senseless killings like this one. I will continue to pray because I believe in the power of prayer. I believe in love.

love ya earl, 'your take on it'---seems to be in line with my take on it .

Siebra Muhammad Friday, October 2nd 2009 at 1:17PM

It's okay Jen it's always my pleasure to read your blogs and engage in discourse with my sister with some real k-n-o-w-l-e-d-g-e!!! Please keep our brother Derrion Albert in your prayers. Our future doctor, lawyer, or businessman will truly be missed!!!

The fact that it is now off youtube shows the copyright was purchased, for a handsome price I'm sure. But I have another question. Where were the teachers and school officials?

Harry Watley Saturday, October 3rd 2009 at 1:46AM

Hello Ms. Fad,

You asked this question, “Brother Harry what say you about my thoughts that the Black people in America that won't train their kids should temporarily stop having kids until "they" can get their own nation?”


I do not believe that having children or not having children is the problem of Black Americans.

What I believe is Black America’s greatest problem is that we are not a sovereign people and we have not the inkling to think of becoming a sovereign people yet. However, we are going to become a sovereign people and you could quote me on that.

Look at it from God and Moses point of view. Whether the Hebrew people had children or did not was not the problem. The problem was their bondage in Egypt that God gave the Hebrew people their own. Black Americans wants the same blessing for ourselves that God gave to the Hebrew people.

Do you see my point?

Tell me what you think.

Harry Watley Saturday, October 3rd 2009 at 11:25AM

Hello to all,

Ms. Irma said this, “...ALL OF THESE ARE OUR CHILDREN IN NEED FOR EQUALITY IN ALL THINGS..."

When will you all understand that since you are a different people racially speaking from White America and that the real estate of this country belongs to White America how rational is it for us to believe that our permanent solution is equality in White America’s country? There is no such thing as equality when one race is facing a different race. One race will always be superior to the other when existing in the same environment or country. Equality exists only within the parameters of each individual race in accordance to how each citizen is treated since they are the same people. Did I make any sense?

Did not God permanently resolve the racial discrimination between the Egyptian people and the Hebrew people by separate and the two races? As a result, did not this permanent resolution afford the Hebrew people an opportunity to become a real people in the ancient world? Of course it did.

Do you all not have the common sense to see that Black Americans must have their own?

Do you all not understand that our only permanent solution is that we become a sovereign people or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way?

Black Americans have nothing. Do you all not think that Black Americans will inherit a portion of this continent from the real estate holdings of White America from our ancestors?

Tell me what you think.

robert powell Saturday, October 3rd 2009 at 12:14PM

Siebra, why say, "Our future doctor, lawyer, or businessman will truly be missed!!!"
You do not know that person who is dead.
Irma: why attack Earl?----he stated a Truth and Fact---
I have never met Earl, Clark, Harry or Steve; but I know that none of us would have allowed on that street or any street, this ignorant, decadent, cowardly gang filth,----

Harry Watley Saturday, October 3rd 2009 at 1:11PM

Hello to everyone,

Let me politely say that Earl is wrong and all those who believe that he is right are wrong.

The problem is not in those boys that killed Derrion Albert, the parents, the community or Black Americans as a people. The problem is that we are a subjugated and closed in people and we are yearning to be a free people. As a result psychologically speaking we do these crazy things to ourselves since we are in close proximity to each other. For instance, if a few Asians were in our midst we would do the same thing to them. If a few Whites were in our midst, we would do the same thing to them as well. Crazy and psychologically damaged people do not care whom it is that they are doing harm to. Asian people know Blacks are crazy and that is why they do not look around us.

We are psychologically a damaged people, we have been this way for hundreds of years, and our only permanent solution is that we become a sovereign people or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country to deal with problems and reform ourselves. In time, you all will come to accept me as the Hebrew people came to accept Moses. The solution is in me as the solution for the Hebrew people was in Moses.

When our time of sovereignty approaches to inherit a portion of this continent, I want all of our people in White America’s prisons and mental hospitals into our prisons and mental hospitals. We will deal with a different system of rehabilitation and punishment from White America.

We do not have jurisdiction over our own people and we need jurisdiction over our own people.

What say you?

Steve Williams Saturday, October 3rd 2009 at 11:05PM

My understanding of what Robert said was in reference to Earl's comment about standing by with a camera rather than going to a brother's aid. I believe you too Irma, at 4' something, would have gone to his aid.

Harry Watley Sunday, October 4th 2009 at 3:26PM

Hello Robert,

I beg to differ with you. I believe that our problem as Black Americans derives from White America’s subjugation of us.

Let me give you a couple of examples using employment. Black American males do not control anything in respect to employment. Black males depend on White America for employment,

Now, about 50 years ago when Black males were unemployed and had a family they were forced to leave their apartments and family in order that their wives and children could receive welfare. That was White America’s welfare laws that further subjugated and destroying of Black Americans as a family.

Now, about 25 years ago another law of White America had to do with how Black Americans raised their children. White America’s laws said to Black parents that corporal punishment was forbidden otherwise the parents would go to jail and the children will be put in foster care. This Child Protective Custody law further destroyed the foundation and composition of the Black family structure.

I believe that I have just given you, Robert answers and reasons why Black children wear their pants below their behinds and how they have become such a savage people to themselves today.

I am going to repeat myself again, our only permanent solution is our sovereignty or complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders. Our sovereignty is going to happen. As surely as God intervened on the Hebrew peoples behalf through Moses God have intervened on behalf of Black Americans through me whether you believe that I am Black American’s first genuine prophet.

Even the religions that we practices White America have given it to us or allowed us to have it, am I right?

God anointed me and told me, if you will that sovereignty was our only permanent solution ever to become real people in this world. Today, Black Americans who are descendents of slaves are the apple of God’s eyes.

Now Robert, you tell me whether what I just said makes any sense to you.

Tell me what you think.

Our true culture Harry is a female slave being raped and the masters toy, and then eventually that female slave allowing a master to sell their children into pediophilia and slavery.
In, Alex Haleys book/movie Roots, the female slave, that had slave "married" Kunta Kinte(a Guinean Muslim)-tricked Kunta, at the birth of their child, to go with them niggraSlavechristians to the baptism into ignorance of their daughter.----
That is the Truth that BIA, MIA, WIA and christianity does not want to admit--
-BIA women have INDOCTRINATED the descendants of African slaves into the den of their Men.
Our Leader President Baraka Hussein Obama has succeeded and will Change America because he never had a BIA female raising Him.
He has another 1201 days or 3years, 3 months, 13 days,
not to pass health care, balance the budget, stop the wars against Muslim poor people, BUT TO CHANGE THE MIND OF THE FEMALE IN BIA.
Change We have been waiting for

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Maybe were did not see the same sound bites. I did see people coming to help. Or at least I did not see any one in uniform coming to break this up...

And, is this the first time teens getting killed by other teens and it being filmed?! If so then why years ago did I hear about the SNUFF films as a White teen fad????

Now lets get real.This happened in C-H-I-C-A-G-O, you know the city that our illegal alian president is from...these children are Black and just the thing for Glenn Becks and Rush Limbaughs so they need no one from our race to make it a crime that only Blacks of single mothers would do and their father is already in prison!!!!!With all of that said from a proud Black female whose mother and father were not married, I will continue on...

Even fully armed policemen would approch these situations with caution. And, why is this...it is because the average criminal is better armed that the police are.A better question is who is going to come to testify against these gang members?!!!?This young man could have died from the help he received.Who knows as just moving someone can kill them depending on the injury...Then who was it that struck the fatal blow...but, not to worry as I am sure these children can not afford an attorney who will bring up these questions and expert testmoney for them...so they are all guilty, but is this justice???!!!?I do chant(pray)that the Public defenders at least know their names when they go to court.I have seen this too many times in court, IN THE REAL WORLD...

It may seem that I do not care, I do care, but caring and equal justice are just not the same thing.Besides "I" have no idea what started this in the first place...I just know that pre usual our whole race and especially our president will get most of the blame...this is the norm...ALL OF THESE ARE OUR CHILDREN IN NEED FOR EQUALITY IN ALL THINGS..."I" am sure that they had no plans to kill this young man or "I" am sure they would have shot him out right!!!!!I believe what they call MOB mentality took over...maybe we will get decent unpolitical follow up on this matter...this would be very good for all of us "I" believe, don't you all(smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Earl, "I" am sure you noticed "I" asked you about how you learned all of this. Is it something you have experienced your self or something you heard. I know you don't watch tv and this is why I made my reply to you in this manner. Please read all of my comment.(smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

robert when and where and how did I attack Earl...in your own words and my exact quotes where I attacked Earl? NOt what your mind has done to come up with ths conclusion by changing, rearranging, leaving completely out what I said to fit in your limited space of logic...if possialbe...remember how asking questions is a part of being educated...just the facts, just the facts....not your emotional out burst nor your assumption that you are on the site to what, determine my ability to ask questions because I am takling to someone else and not to you...robert I am waiting for some answers to my questions on more than this blog....or has your name changed to Earl Brown???(smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

And, what do you mean, You would not allow....And, how would you be able to prevent a crime...the law of the land says you can not call a person as having commited a crime before they commit it...innocent until proven guilty and things like this not the courts of those wearing those white hoods caring their holy Bible to prove you innocent if you are not Black, or Jewish or poor or...ONLY IN AMERICA....end of story!!!!!!!Oh, when is the last time you have had a drive by shooting in you city, state and I know all of those mass high school shooting in America did not happen in the country that you live in or do you really live in a place thet is 100% crime free.....50%...20%??? but, then you are probably only talking about black youth, huh robert??!!!!!!!!!!!!!?


but, you did say there is no crime because YOU WILL NOT ALLOW IT...or are you just talking about after Harry gets to take the lands of others ??!!!?Or did it just come from that same mind that saw me attacking Earl????

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Earl, you will never make a comment like this if you lived where I live or in Sacramento...but, as usual we tend to limit our education to the tv???? (smile)

Now where is it you live where you are able to experience all of a part or illegals doing no harm???? Dinsing dead bodies from the illegals and their on going drugs wars is the norm in many cities and small towns like mine!!!!especially small towns. Gangs usually envolves drug turfany way.Lets say even the word illegal constututes a crime?It sure can not be in America...so if you ever want to live where Blacks do not kill, rob or do harm to other Blacks them you are welcome to come where I live.

Now you will always have be on the look out that the REDNECKS don't kill you, because they are the only ones is my area that are out to do Blacks any harm for just being Black.

Oh, did I mention not getting waited on in a cafe?????(smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Oh, and by the way we did get to see this by way of full mass media reportings...now when is the last time you saw a mass media coverage of a missing Black child????????an every day missing Black single mom?????

WE SHOULD HOLD OUR HEADS IN SHAME becauseall of our children do not committ crimes, but there are too many who only have a peek into the Black community when something that can get high ratings and our children doing positive things will not get great ratings...

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

You don't seem to understand me at all robert, because when you talk like this you always are EXCLUDING ME AND MY FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS AND GENERATIONS, and this is not fair because all of us are Black and decendants of slaves....this is where I am coming from...can you understand how I feel being excluded from my own race?(smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Sister Jen, one of our greatest Philosopher's way back in BC asked a question just like this about our youth...there are too many variables in something like this and this is why society can find so many 'excuses' for this behavior of mankind.

It is too bad we still are to willing and able to place blame except where it realy belongs...on that individual and not a whole race of people....I do give the right-wing credit as they just cut out the middle man and blame the Black single mother...
