16-year-old Derrion Albert, a student at Fenger High School, was beaten to death by a group of other youths Thursday, Sept. 24, 2009 in a vacant lot next to a community center in Chicago's Roseland community. Witnesses say Albert, an honor roll student, got caught up in the melee was a culmination of a simmering rivalry between two groups of Fenger students, one that lived near the school and the other from the Altgeld Gardens housing development.
Eff Taylor Swift and interruptions. Where is the outrage at the interruption (end) of Derrion Albert's life?
I know that people wouldn't usually rap this
but I got the facts to back this
just last year, Chicago had over 600 caskets
man, killing's some wack shit

Just because our President is black doesn't mean we don't still have real issues. Black people in this country we call America need to be more aware, concerned, and proactive with what is going on in our communities instead of concentrating on frivolous bullshit and 'reality TV'.
The reality of the situation is we need to stop watching "Frankie & Neffe" and the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" and spend that time working on/building up our own families. Instead of a "Real Chance of Love" we need to give our children a real chance at life.
Why does #DerrionAlbert need to become a trending topic on Twitter for us to realize there is (has been) a major problem. We are a nation lost, but we can (must) do better. Stand up, Be accountable.
