OFF MY PAGE NOW A YO YOU IF YOU ARE FROM MILWAUKEE READ THIS AND COMMENT ON MY PAGE ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK So "The Source" includes a Midwestern city in its profile of the recent violent deaths that have been plauging hip-hop. And there was nothing even "rap related" about the story. I couldnt believe it. Then again....of "course" I could. Anytime my city (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) had "EVER" made any headlines for anything "NATIONALLY" ???? ------------ -it was inevitably about something shockingly negative. 1)Legendary "60 Minutes" news television show profiles gambling and disinterested teachers with hidden cameras inside North Division High School - 1990 2)Jeffrey Dahmer becomes the world's first known CANNIBAL-SERIAL KILLER ever...right off of 24th & Wisconsin in an apartment while working @ "The Chocolate Factory". - 1991 3)Charles Young, Jr. a 36 year old man....is viciously stomped, beat, and kicked to death by 18 children ranging in ages from 11 to 18 on 21st & Brown @ 11:45 at night. - 2002 4)Author and columnist Bruce Dixon, who writes for "The Black Commentator" creates a list of the Top Ten Worst States For Blacks To Work And LIve. Wisconsin "and in particular, Milwaukee" top the list. - 2005 Here is what The Source had to say, and I can't wait to hear your response to it. Especially if you "FROM" the MIL, or if you just "KNOW ME" (Track Lacer)..... "Killa Mil" Deindustrialization , Unemployment And The Crack Epidemic Are Having A Disastrous Impact On Milwaukee's Inner City. When 16-year-old Preston J. Blackmer was killed on the outside of his foster mother's home, most of this midsized Midwestern town didn't even notice. Sadly, murder has become such a common occurence in Brew City that Preston's death represented only one of the hundred murders that take place here every year. Even in he had lived, the odds of Preston making it out of the North Side stomping grounds were stacked against him. "People who have never been here think Milwaukee is Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley," says Carey Jenkins, an organizer with the Campaign Against Violence, a local organization that uses art and culture to deter interpersonal violence amongst the Hip-Hop generation. "But people here are poor, unemployed and have very few examples of success to look to." In fact, Milwaukee is so bad that the July 2005 issue of Black Commentator, Bruce Dixon wrote, "Wisconsin, and in particular the Milwaukee area, justly merit the invidious distinction of the worst place in the nation to be Black." Not only does the jobless rate for inner-city adult males hover around 60 percent, but the high school drop out rate is nearly 55 percent. These harsh statistics often push Black youth to participate in the traps of the informal street economy where the consequences can be deadly. But according to Jenkins, most are doing so for survival. "These kids are selling dope to their parents and grandparents who have given up on life because they think there aren't any options," he says in front of one of the dozens of street shrines commemorating murdered loved ones that adorn trees and light poles throughout the city. "It's funny. People talk as if the crack epidemic is over, but it's still very much in effect here." Despite the plethora of socio-economic problems that exist in Milwaukee, there are several organizations using the Hip Hop culture to educate youth about living less violent lives. These organizations hope they can impact Milwaukee the same way Afrika Bambaataa influenced the South Bronx in the 1970s. "We aren't waiting for anyone to come here and save us," says Jenkins. "The only reason why Hip-Hop exists is because someone created options. We have to continue to create those alternatives.
