Senseless Youth Violence in Chicago: RIP DERRION ALBERT
Recently, senseless act of fatal violence among our youth took a toll as Derrion Albert was beaten to death in Chicago.
This violence has to stop! FABULOUS BROWN GIRL is deeply saddened and confused at the trend of violence that has been running rampant in Chicago for a long time now amongst our youth. Chicago is a great city in so many ways and is home to sooo many influential black people, such as Oprah Winfrey and our FIRST FAMILY.. but the fact of the matter is the Chicago underprivileged youth are lost. They turn to gangs to find a false acceptence and end up taking each others lives for the sheer fun of it. Children need nurturing and guidance to survive. If they don't have it from family and loved ones, they look for it anywhere they can find it.. and most times they find it in the wrong crowd. There needs to be a change. We need to take back our youth in Chicago and all over this country. We have to show them that we care about them, that we love them, and that we accept them.
