Did she say 'like a slave in 1988?'...I digress... I think its very telling that the state spends more on concequense then cause. I think lack of parental guidance is the biggest cancer in our communities.
I think it would be so interesting to go on a tour of a prison...especially San quentin, where Richard Ramirez is...would be cool to see how they live there lives.
Not only does Marijuana chemically hurt you with driving and other things. Drugs such as Marijuana, tends to be related to Homicides,Gangs, etc. So when you say oh yeah Marijuana isn't bad. Think again.
I did a "social program" when I taught high school. I taught kids to fill out job applications and it got nowhere! The parents made no effort to get their kids to take weekend or afterschool jobs. Only three kids did. The main problem was that the parents were oblivious. And what would bring a kid greater self-esteem than earning his/her own money? Dr. Rudy Crew told me my attempts failed because of today's "bling-bling" culture. Kids are taught to expect things without earning them.
I heard her talking too, I was puzzled my self, educated people talk with complete sentences instead of slang. My father was a black man, but no way in hell did have this kind of tongue when he spoke to other people. Who in Gods name would take you seriously if you went around talking like this.
I wonder about this organization, I'm listening to what they have to say and I'm also observing there actions as well, how is it that these people who run this, not only talk black, but they act black, and it puzzles me to even think that a people of there status, being asian would have some kind of idenity here. This doesn't make them appear intelligent, but rather stupid, from sagging pants to hand signals, from hand signals to " kno wha Im sayin" . These people are lost.
Theres several points i want to make, and the first one is, that there are many kids who are bound to break laws and get in trouble, its inevitable because some kids are just criminally bound...those you cant save. But for every other kid no matter what race, can EASILY get a loan for ANY community college, and then transfer inot a higher school as long as their grades are decent...after transferring into a decent school, they can THEN transfer into an even better school, provided grades are up.
Kids should not be labeled at-risk because that makes people believe they are evil. People will go out trying to harm and do mean things to them. Please comment.
I have stood back and observed this program over the years and it is just not what it seems, there is this persona that you have to be and act a certain way just to fit in, I have watched people cut ties and just walk out of this program because everyone just seemed really troubled and the mentors seemed to be holding on to their own inner demons despite their continuous "silence the violence" marches it seems some of the men were just abusive towards women and their perception of women just disturbs me. I question that, why is it you march around this city demanding peace and non violence, yet some of your members have jumped and robbed innocent people on the streets, have sold and taken drugs and start balantly spreading lies about people in such disrespectful ways? There was so many red flags I had witnessed years ago, I don't know where their intelligence lies or even their morals, but this doesn't make me a hater but someone willing to question the society one lives in. I can't be silent about this because this world is full of hypocritical and contradicting human beings. When one speaks of justice, then don't leave a trail of victims that you have harmed and justify those actions then march in communities acting like a bunch of saints, slowly people are calling them out on that, I have seen some people walk out saying it's a complete front. Actions define a person more than the words that comes out of their mouths.
i guess it depends on your area. I know i just got a bank loan for our comm. college and i dont have credit, a job, or any cosigners...but its mandatory i become a part time employee to keep my loan agreement valid. But still, its a lot better than full time, or getting involved in stupid hustling bullshit...i plan on transferring
@hork111 I actually checked out Barry Scheck's project and it they used a heavy screening process. they only took cases where there was newly presented DNA evidence that wasn't allowed to be used in court. they have overturned over 200 cases, but even then it's still rare. that's horrible that that many people were wrongly convicted, but to make an assumption like that based on 200 poorly handed cases is wrong. there are 2+ million people in prison right now. and sorry if I sounded like an ass
Just doesn't seem real, you want to help the youth then stop acting like a bunch of thugs and act like professionals, teach them the meaning of manifesting their hopes and dreams through education, respect and showing dignity for one another, had a friend that went here and she told me how unprofessional some of the mentors are and how they were disrespectful to the girls there, I heard so many negative experiences from parents and youth that dealt with them and they are just in complete denial of those speaking out, sad, why take tax dollars and at the same time be a bunch of hypocrites.
by highly advertising all over every school: (the idea that i stated above)where any kid can get cheap loans to start at community college and work up the school-chain by transfers. And the best part abt this advertising is: ITS FREE! No need for the city to levy more $ to schools just to speak of, and hand out information packets. And for those who already dropped out, word on the street is very HEAVY about loaning into a comm. college. Kids who claim they didnt know it was an option, are deaf
Haters will always make UP Greater....Rudy Jr. Corpuz isdoing things for a better opportunity for todays Urban Youths with no direction and family structure. He has the street creds for He is the Street Soldiers. Someone comments about why he talks all black...let me tell ya....you aint gotta be black to talk urban ghetto slangs....If you grew up here whether what race you is...then guess what....that's the accent yous gonna have ya' dig!!!! UP gets a Standing Ovation from me. KeepItUP!!!
what, hustling? Because 99% of kids dont do it right, and 90% of that 99% only try to do it because of what they hear and see in the entertainment business. The 1% that may actually have a clue what theyre doing, know that its not going to feed them and their families for the rest of their lives, and know that at any time they may have to stop and also know that not many people even have the opportunity to put forth the time and effort. Plus, you have to have a skill to bring to the table
My reason for suggesting a curfew is that when teenagers are congregating outdoors in the wee hours of the morning, it's inappropriate, unnecessary, and unsafe. What are they doing out late on a school night? What if some pedophile decides to target them?
We're about to have possibly a black president, or a woman president. So as far as getting a community college loan, inequality plays no role, provided youre a citizen. If youre an american who can read/write, you can get a loan to community college, then transfer, into a university, then transfer into grad school or ivy league even. Crime is completely unnecessary and those who break laws, deserve the penalties.
out of a million people, i know ONE dude who actually has a clue how to hustle, and trust me, he's poor as shit. He does it in the automotive business and the only reason he hustles is to TRY to get enough startup money to TRY to open up a shop out of his garage. No rich and famous people hustle, because theyre rich. They are into real legit business and stock and blah blah blah. And also, its stupid because most kids think that Hustling means selling weed, which goes against this entire board
Is it possible that those who achieve success (or as you put, "eat the piece of the pie") keep to themselves because nobody will listen? There are few roads to success besides hard work. Alas, that doesn't appeal to some youths. The street is a lot more appealing, as is crime and terrorism. Read "Gifted Hands" by Dr. Ben Carson. It's about a man from a broken home who achieved success WITHOUT any "social program".
@hawaiiankillahulua and @Aguila701: I see @Aguila701's point that the government is already paying so much to keep them in jail and there are better ways to rehabilitate prisoners that will also be cheaper. However, @hawaiiankillahulua, I don't see it as a reward for crime but as an opportunity to give tools to get away from a culture of crime. After all, the point of rehab is to remould them and not to get back into crime. The current system doesn't work.
And also, tell me a more 'creative' way to prevent kids from breaking laws? The system shouldnt have to come up with creative ways, the kids just shouldnt be breaking the laws.
All the people in this video are all in here because they severly broke laws. Most of them either killed someone, were involved in hard drugs/dealing, were involved in gangs/gang violence, or stole things. If they didnt do what they did, they wouldnt be in jail, and theyd be free to work towards better lives. No one said life was fair, but in America:freedom is fair. Everyone has the right to live, the right to own land, and the right to pursuit happiness. So what more do you want?
Birth control means that men and women who don't realyw ant kids won't have any. The worst kids I encountered always came from families where the parents weren't interested in setting the example. Too many women allow choose to keep their babies as a way of proving their maturity (or hoping that the father will stay). I've seen too many examples of women who have several children by different men (all of whom walked away). I wonder why she chose to have kids in the first place.
dude i JUST explained this to the last guy...its LAYMANS TERMS. ATTENTION! MY STATS AND CALCULATIONS ARE EXAGERATIONS AND ONLY THERE TO PROVE MY POINT! THEY ARE NOT ACCURATE! but i bet theyre pretty damn close.
Thats right nigga Samoans in the house! HAHAHAHA that girl was really doin a Samoan dance for all dem niggaz! Why that Samoan dude that was dancing with her look like my uncle! Free all dem niggaz man for real.
It sucks if your situation is tougher than others', but the fact that you have the right to live and pursuit happiness, is enough to make any poor man rich, whether youre from the projects, or the suburbs. People who break the laws, go to jail. People who excercise their rights to live and pursuit happiness, tend to find happiness. Theres no good excuse for gangs, drugs, violence, or any severe crimes, so stop trying to justify it.
Society will definitely NOT be safer if you, berlitz, ever fulfill your dream of becoming a prosecutor. Sure would hate to run afoul of the likes of you!
Its laymans terms man, sorry if you want exact and accurate calculations, but i'm a frank kind of guy...And what i'm saying is most of those kids dont know what the fuck it is theyre doing, they dont have a clue how to hustle...everyone wants to be a "HUSTLA" because of biggie or tupac bullshit they see on tv and in the media. Every kid who hustles has a dream, and thats to either start a business (constant cash flow)...and more power to them...but almost none of them know how to do it correctly
There's good intentions and all, but bringing in girls? All those sex-starved jailbirds will be looking to get a piece of em. Plus if they're underaged kids.. it makes me cringe a little.
@Arwen777Gods, believe what you want. First of all, who do you refer to as "you people"? I'm not part of UP. Secondly, just because you know someone who dated someone from UP, that doesn't mean that the person is a reflection of what UP is all about. UP exists to address a particular need in society. One can't expect an org like UP to be the only solution. I think Rudy, who founded UP, did the best he knows how to contribute to change things. I suggest you express yourself to UP.
thi is always the same shit u guys if realy want to hel people help the ones they realy need it like sick people or realy poor kids and famylies that dont have iven a house!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Arwen777Gods and @777truthable, you sound like the same person or from the same thought. Your comments don't sound too intelligent, either. For one, you are making stereotypical and racist comments. Second, unless you've come across UP or worked with them, you probably don't have a clue about how programs like theirs have an impact on youth. You want to make an impact, give more constructive and intelligent comments.
just like your dislike of the word, my like of the word is a sentiment intelligence is irrelevant, this is situated in an older more fundamental part of the brain it is like discussing taste, if u like fish and i dont then u can try and convince me to like fish aswell until the end of fucking eternity i will never like fish jest an example, i do like fish :p
Good Job Rudy! I commend you brother. Thats the attitude more people in our generation need to have and put in work to save the youths
I agree.
All problems START and END at a HOUSEHOLD LEVEL.
even Rosie O' Donnel will be fine to the inmates lol
Did she say 'like a slave in 1988?'...I digress...
I think its very telling that the state spends more on concequense then cause.
I think lack of parental guidance is the biggest cancer in our communities.
props
you took the words right out of my mouth
@TheFlutevisions Great suggestions! Parent involvement is definitely important. Or a very supportive network if parents don't exist.
I think it would be so interesting to go on a tour of a prison...especially San quentin, where Richard Ramirez is...would be cool to see how they live there lives.
Not only does Marijuana chemically hurt you with driving and other things. Drugs such as Marijuana, tends to be related to Homicides,Gangs, etc. So when you say oh yeah Marijuana isn't bad. Think again.
Is PLAYAZ an acronym for something or the literal useof the word?
I did a "social program" when I taught high school. I taught kids to fill out job applications and it got nowhere! The parents made no effort to get their kids to take weekend or afterschool jobs. Only three kids did. The main problem was that the parents were oblivious. And what would bring a kid greater self-esteem than earning his/her own money?
Dr. Rudy Crew told me my attempts failed because of today's "bling-bling" culture. Kids are taught to expect things without earning them.
These guys act like gangsters themselves
no. not necessarily. i teach art to at-risk kids. It just means that they are on the fine line of going bad, or going good.
Good observation!
I heard her talking too, I was puzzled my self, educated people talk with complete sentences instead of slang. My father was a black man, but no way in hell did have this kind of tongue when he spoke to other people. Who in Gods name would take you seriously if you went around talking like this.

This doesn't make them appear intelligent, but rather stupid, from sagging pants to hand signals, from hand signals to " kno wha Im sayin" . These people are lost.
there is hope in Jesus Christ.....
haha she got that 70's flow still

@apollocv That is interesting. Whom are the prisoners that provide security?
In my eyes, this program seems to be more constructive than the, "Scared Straight," programs.
i wish my parents couldve watched this..
Didn't that Saniko go to Visitacion Valley ?
Kids should not be labeled at-risk because that makes people believe they are evil. People will go out trying to harm and do mean things to them. Please comment.

ohhh wow their life its so ???????
I was in that place..it ain't no joke..you drop the soap, you feel a poke:(

wat is it? i listened so carefully. i cant tell
Bringing women in prison is stupid. Especially to perform dances in front of prisoners some of whom are definitely sex offenders.
Just doesn't seem real, you want to help the youth then stop acting like a bunch of thugs and act like professionals, teach them the meaning of manifesting their hopes and dreams through education, respect and showing dignity for one another, had a friend that went here and she told me how unprofessional some of the mentors are and how they were disrespectful to the girls there, I heard so many negative experiences from parents and youth that dealt with them and they are just in complete denial of those speaking out, sad, why take tax dollars and at the same time be a bunch of hypocrites.

"over worked like a slave in 1888." slavery was abolished by the thirteenth amendment in 1865...
@cvhashim start your own organization and make a difference. That's what you can do.
what, hustling?

be proud
3:53 - 4:36
Oh shut up. Trying to sound intelligent...
no inmate should be that desperate..

north weezy that's my point as well
I always notice one thing about gang members. They always say "don't end up like me". Straight from the horses mouth.

and thats pretty much the problem
Than what's the point of spending millions of dollars on DEA?? Or all the money into the US Customs doing border patrol? Get my point?
Haha. Small minded kid. Got a lot to learn.
Then what youre saying is its the people's fault, no?
Society will definitely NOT be safer if you, berlitz, ever fulfill your dream of becoming a prosecutor. Sure would hate to run afoul of the likes of you!
How come some choose to help gang members more as suppose nice children? Please comment.
yenro yea write you wonna just show of why dont you go to the victoms and tell tham that
Or you know...STOP FUCKING BREAKING THE GODDAMN LAWS!!! Just a thought...
Its laymans terms man, sorry if you want exact and accurate calculations, but i'm a frank kind of guy...And what i'm saying is most of those kids dont know what the fuck it is theyre doing, they dont have a clue how to hustle...everyone wants to be a "HUSTLA" because of biggie or tupac bullshit they see on tv and in the media.

it's funny how ur comment is ignorant to the common use of freedom of speech
There's good intentions and all, but bringing in girls? All those sex-starved jailbirds will be looking to get a piece of em. Plus if they're underaged kids.. it makes me cringe a little.
