What's up Global Grind this is your boy BlogXilla, and I got a treat for you. Baron Davis has wrote a letter to the audience of globalGrind.com it's about Gang Violence in America. Check it out. ~ BlogXilla
Dear globalGrind,
On game night, thousands of fans come to watch my teammates and I play ball at the Staples Center. We have fun playing, you all have fun watching, and it's a good time for everyone.
But just a few miles away - where I grew up - there's a war going on in the streets.
Gang violence has become an accepted part of life in South Central LA, taking the lives of so many young black men. The feud between the Crips and Bloods has been going on for decades, but no one seems to understand why.
That's why I've gotten involved with the documentary titled Crips and Bloods: Made in America. This film gives an amazing look inside LA's gang life -- the turf wars, the gang structure, the street rules, and the culture of guns and death. It's told by former gang members, experts, and activists who know first-hand the destruction that gang violence brings to black communities in LA.
I grew up in South Central, and I hate seeing so many other young black men getting caught up in this cycle of gang violence. A basketball scholarship and strong support from my grandmother helped me break through, but most guys aren't so lucky.
It doesn't have to happen like this. Young men don't have to end up in prison or die in the streets. The Crips and Bloods don't have to keep fighting for another 40 years. But to stop the bloodshed, we have to understand why it's happening.
Crips and Bloods: Made in America is a great start. The film doesn't just document the violence in South Central, it helps explain the bloodshed and offers hope that the next generation of kids can escape it. After watching this film, I believe the day will come when neighborhoods in LA aren't run by gangs and rattled by gunshots.
The U.S. just swore in its first black president. There's hope throughout the U.S. -- even in South Central.
Check out the trailer and then ask your friends to watch it too:
