Exactly DC remember that Kenny Smith said "they need an opportunity to know they have opportunities".I don't think they DON'T want change, I don't think they even understand that there CAN be a change.LOL at money and rich people being the solution. The problem is that there is no solution. a lot of those people don't want change or even work towards it.
They know their world and how their world operates. Many don't even understand that there is another neighborhood outside of their own.
So I can't agree that they don't want to change.
Here's an analogy. You go to prison. Are you gonna adapt and do what you gotta do to survive or risk your life being a "good person". In certain environments you gotta adjust to the rules of the game to survive. The problem is when you get out of prison. Do you know how to adjust back to being a "good person" and living in the real world.
These people and kids don't live in the "real world". Its too real for them so they are in survival mode not strive mode. Another quote from Kenny Smith....By the time they are over 18 they only know one way and thats to survive.
Its not that people want to kill, live in the hood, be uneducated, be on drugs....they just don't know there's more because from day 1 on this Earth they are told they are worthless and have no hope.
Listen to some of the lyrics these kids rap...they say stuff like "aint no tomorrow"...dudes 14 getting tats on their face because they can't even imagine themselves being 30.
