if ppl look at the video while the video first record the boy says'' tell derrion ass to hurry up''. Derrion is the boy with the backpack that runs to the fight and he is also fighting in the video he is not so innocent I know plenty of honor students that are trouble makers, gang bangers, thugs, etc. So fuck that because the smartest ppl are in prison to be honest he not so innocent as we think because nobody really what know he did every second all we know is what was told so please stop trying to make him perfect and be honest he wasnt as good as we thought don't agree reread what I wrote then watch the video then think and then maybe you will realize
Good Evening,
I am a sophomore at Shaw University with a major in computer science. I am entering the discussion about the brutal beating of Derrion Albert, a 16 year old honor student who was a resident in south side Chicago. This is a part of my essay assignment for my Honors English 113 class taught by Derrick Justice who can be reached via email at djustice@shawu.edu.
First I want to start by asking a question; why is the black youth so angry? This is a big issue which must be dealt with immediately because violence in today’s age is getting out of hand. The issue is that we have no respect or discretion for violence. Why is it that when we see a fight, or any act of violence at that, we want to pull out our camera phones a tape what’s going on? Is there such thing as “go and get help” anymore? We are too busy entertaining ourselves with violence that we don’t stop and think that we are only destroying ourselves. Society was initially designed to keep blacks down. Indirectly, the projects that became popular during the industrial revolution became a set home for blacks. This is because the projects were designed to shelter those who needed a home while they worked for a certain period of time. After that time period was up, it was expected that the family move out and get its own place. Well the moving out part is the issue. Many blacks were trapped and couldn’t afford to move out. This cycle continued, which eventually created what we call the projects today. Even for those who don’t consider where they live the projects or the hood, what your excuse? You’re living the good life, right? Today gangbanging is more life an extracurricular activity. There are some teens that have plenty money and support, a caring family, and everything a teen can wish for. But you choose to risk your life in the streets everyday instead of doing something constructive. Is it not clear? Society wants us as a race to fail. By committing such acts of violence and destroying each other, we are making it easier on society. We are giving them a reason to believe we aren’t educated or we don’t deserve a chance. In my eyes we are just as capable as everyone else. The only problem is getting the whole to realize the same thing. As a whole, we need to get focused and make it our will to prove society wrong. Prove that if not better, we are just as equal as the rest of America. Only then will we truly be free.
Good Evening
I am a student at Shaw University my major is Criminal Justice> I am adding to this discussion about the senseless brutal beating of Derrion Albert, a 16 year old honor student . This is part of my essay assignment for my English class 133 class instructed by Professor Derick Justice who can be reached via e-mail @ djustice@shawu.edu. i have watched this vidieo twice and both times i cried and my heart fell to my feet. I dont get it. back in my day we had to watch out for the KKK for fear that you would be killed,that no longer exists now our kids have to watch out for one another.it is unfortunate that it took this kind of violence to attract national attention. now may just maybe something will be done.Why are we consistently feeding in to white society who think that we are a bunch of animals as it is. my heart and my prayers go out to the Albert family. i could not imagine not having my child around for the holidays. communities wake up we all have to pitch in to make a difference. show some love and encouragement to a child you ordinarily would not reach out to.

Hello,
I am a student in Shaw University’s Cape Program. I am a sophomore majoring in Public Administration. This entry is part of a class assignment received from Professor Justice in my English Comp 113-50 class. Professor Justice’s e-mail address is djustice@shaw.edu. I am very sorry for the parents and loved ones of Derrin Albert. I can not imagine the pain that they must feel from a loss such as this. No parent would ever suspect that their child could be killed on the way home from school at the hands of his or her own peers; the very ones who should be working together to protect each other. I want to take a moment to address the parents of potential gang bangers, bullies, habitual liars, rapists, thieves, and all who delight in inflicting pain upon others. The time is now for you to stop being too busy to raise your children. Stop depending on “Uncle John”, “Aunt Sallie”, “Momma”, “Mother” and “Grandma and Grandpa” to do what is your responsibility to do. “Uncle John,” “Aunt Sallie,” “Momma,” “Mother” and “Grandma and Grandpa” do not have the time or the patience to raise your child. Your child needs you to be there, taking the time that is needed to listen to their daily concerns about their friends, teachers and other troubles in his or her life. I know children do not have the responsibilities that parents have but their concerns are real, just as real as concerns about the bills and the job are to parents. Stop being busy gossiping on the cell phone, watching those stupid reality shows on TV, trying to keep up with your “girls” or “boys”, trying to attend every community meeting and every church meeting to notice that something is going on with your child. You need to take the time to talk to him or her to find out what they are thinking and what is important to them. Stop coming home day in and day out not giving your child a second thought. A child needs much more than a hot meal and clothes to wear. Your child needs you 24/7. Stop allowing your child to be raised by the environment. I know raising a child is a hard, time-consuming job but you have got to “suck it up,” roll up your sleeves” and do it. You need to pay attention to what your child is doing and who he or she is doing it with, or you could end up being the parent of another child who ends the life of another child. Stop running around chasing after nothing. Your child is something! Keep him or her busy doing something constructive. Start out doing this when they are toddlers. You explain to them the rights and wrongs of life. You show them while they are babes that you will not tolerate rudeness, lying, cheating, stealing and bad attitudes by setting the example and being their hero. Stop thinking it is cute when babies repeat bad behavior that they have learned from an older child or foolish adults. Youth violence is a sad and awful problem for all of us but, turning it around begins in the cradle and continues to at least age 18. Stop allowing children to think that they are grown during their teenage years. I know what I am talking about; I have raised 3 children while being married to a drug addicted husband over the course of 20 years. According to societies’ standards, they should be counted as potential failures, but with the help of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, my children have made me nothing but proud to be their mother.
