4	DCB_se1_ag4_m_02	5.7610	Yeah.	6.0087
5	DCB_se1_ag3_m_01	6.9432	Can you tell me how DC was when you first	9.0325
6	DCB_se1_ag4_m_02	9.6515	[/Ooh/.]	10.0266
7	DCB_se1_ag3_m_01	9.7081	[moved here], and how did you-	10.9823
8		11.3150	just tell me your life story. How did you end up- I mean, where are you from?	13.9413
9	DCB_se1_ag4_m_02	14.0687	Okay, I'm from- I was- I originally lived in the Northeast area, which was-	17.6973
11		17.9380	It's C- now Capitol Hill but it wasn't Capitol Hill back then.	20.9108
13		21.8709	And, uh,	22.4514
15		22.9469	it was mostly blacks in that area,	24.7379
17		25.0069	you know, except for certain parts of East Capitol Street or something like that. You know, it was a little mixed around Stanton Park	30.7146
19		31.4245	and, uh, Latham Park.	32.9860
21		33.6231	But it was mostly blacks in that area, you know, which has- which has changed greatly since then now.	38.3468
23		39.2267	And, uh, houses were, uh, they were affordable there.	42.0795
25		42.3610	And they- at- right- at- at this time they're-	44.6209
27		45.2196	they're ex- extraordinary. It's like they tryna out- out price black people /there/.	48.8755
29		49.6511	They're not doing work houses	51.3541
31		51.9700	because they want 'em to go down bad. They want the people- they want people to move.	56.0829
33		56.6958	Quite honestly, they want 'em to move,	58.2107
35		58.5930	so they can, uh, renovate the buildings and turn 'em into-	61.2334
37		61.8068	turn 'em into townhouses	63.2126
39		63.8780	or tear 'em down and,	65.0531
41		65.2812	uh, put two more floors up on 'em. You know, this is a new thing they doing now.	68.8586
43		69.4603	They're building everything up in the sky now. It's like, uh, they don't- I guess they don't think people	73.9538
45		74.2559	are gonna get old	75.1772
47		75.8132	cause the average house- average new house now is at least- at least three floors, with or without a basement.	80.5996
49		81.1565	You know, so, i- you know, as- as people get older- People are buying these houses cause they can afford 'em,	86.3520
51		86.8586	but as people get older, /i-/ they not gonna be able to do all them steps,	90.0371
53		90.2282	you know (laughing).	90.4901
55		91.2186	um, so I guess they not really thinking about that, you know.	93.7862
57		94.7912	But it, um- That's just- that's part of the real estate.	97.6091
59		98.5825	And, uh,	99.1772
61		100.5009	the- the- the teenagers- the juveniles, you know, we- once upon a time, we go to house parties, uh, quite-	105.8992
63		106.1777	Well, quite frequently.	107.5557
65		108.0866	And, you know, a few fist fights. You know, I used to- we used to fight going to school, fight coming from school,	112.8970
67		113.4283	but shit, we- we- we friends the next day, next couple days, you know.	116.9506
69		117.1629	Ain't no- Everything now is pick up a pistol.	119.3277
71		120.0158	Everything now is pick up a pistol, man. If somebody bump into you or somebody	123.5311
73		124.1824	step on your feet,	125.1239
75		125.7185	that's like in the U Street Corridor,	127.5166
77		128.1395	when they used to have, uh, th- three or four, uh, well known movies- movie theaters back then,	132.7630
79		133.1980	back in the ea- in the sixties, early seventies.	135.3329
81		135.8355	And, uh, they'd have lines out there when they were showing movies,	138.9927
83		139.6511	and the lines would come out the- come out the, uh,	141.8143
85		142.0054	for- the- leave from the beginning of the movie theater sometimes- might go around the corner sometimes.	146.4014
87		146.8799	And there was never no trouble, no fights, you know. Ben's- Ben's Chili Bowl was back there then,	151.2260
89		152.1183	you know.	152.4581
91		152.7170	But I- Well people- people just got along a lot better.	155.7397
93		156.2638	People a lot more tolerant, you know.	158.3448
95		159.0356	Of course you had crime,	160.4231
97		161.0743	you know, but you- crime wasn't, uh- it wasn't,	163.3113
99		163.5803	uh, as big back then,	165.1630
101		165.4179	you know.	165.7435
103		166.6000	Cause, uh, kids got they ass whipped, you know (laughing).	169.0847
104	DCB_se1_ag3_m_01	169.0918	<laugh>	169.4458
105	DCB_se1_ag4_m_02	169.4529	Kid- you know, so that-	170.4793
107		170.7170	that made- that made a difference with the juveniles. When they got they ass whipped, you know, they know they had to go home or somebody was gonna tell mom and daddy what you did	177.3471
109		177.7647	and you got a whipping.	178.5434
111		179.0602	This day and age, I guess	180.4547
113		180.7166	a lot of parents have, uh-	182.1183
115		182.9153	I'm not gonna say into drugs-	184.3594
117		184.5675	a lot of the fathers are,	185.7964
119		186.4547	and a few of the mothers, but mostly the- mostly the fathers are,	189.4037
121		191.2442	uh and right now in prison.	192.6812
123		193.1201	You know,	193.3750
125		193.6194	so that's why you have single parents, single moms raising kids,	196.7062
127		197.5699	and they doing things they shouldn't be doing,	199.5590
129		199.9979	and hey really nobody's spending time with the kids correcting them, in my opinion.	204.6388
131		205.4387	So the kids are basically raising theirself,	207.5736
133		208.1791	if they not living with grandma,	210.0795
135		210.3698	you know,	210.7166
137		211.0487	cause granddad's dead.	212.1607
139		212.4905	If they ain't live with grandma, and grandma can't handle these kids. These kids are rough today.	216.2211
141		216.6235	They /suddenly/ a lot of these kids, they, uh- they disrespect the parents.	219.9275
143		220.5293	You know.	221.0319
145		221.6848	But in my day, if, shit- if I told my dad some- something crazy or said something, looked at him crazy,	226.1753
147		226.5850	my dad woulda told me, boy it's time for you to go get out and go pay some rent somewhere.	230.1537
149		230.8799	You know, but this- this day and age the-	232.5646
151		233.1026	the mothers are scared of 'em	234.3061
153		234.7025	cause like I said, the daddy's ain't around.	236.2740
155		237.0851	So the kids are running the house, you know.	238.8690
157		239.7539	But- but even in that day and age, uh,	241.7431
159		241.9413	drug- but there was drugs out here so drugs- drugs is not a new thing.	245.4991
161		245.9592	But people- people are dealing with drugs entirely different,	248.9011
163		249.6302	you know.	249.9629
165		250.4372	Cause back then when- when- when we were selling drugs, or my friends were selling drugs,	254.6038
167		255.4727	uh, there were no- well not a whole lot of killings. Every now and then somebody had a beef, you know. You usually whip somebody with your hands or something.	261.4745
169		262.0266	But now, uh,	262.9398
171		263.7185	these kids selling drugs ain't no food- they- they- the ones living at home ain't taking no food home,	268.4089
173		268.7912	they ain't give mom nothing for the rent,	270.6812
175		271.2476	but they're running downtown,	272.5572
177		272.9082	buying them two or three hundred dollar tennis shoes.	275.0389
179		275.4058	They just taking all that money right- right back to the white man.	278.3460
181		279.0214	They keep- they putting it right back in the system but they ain't doing nothing at home.	282.2494
183		283.0989	You know?	283.4670
185		284.4764	But they eating at home and they staying at home,	286.6638
187		287.4566	you know, so I- You know, I- I- that's one of the things that I- I- I do- I really don't like about this generation and	292.7416
189		293.6194	I can't stand to hear- hear 'em when they curse their mom out- they parents. They talk back to their parents. I just-	298.5505
191		298.8124	I- But you can't say nothing to 'em,	300.4606
193		301.1131	you know, cause- cause shit these kids- kids- these kids today, /??/, um, a young teenager, they'll shoot you.	306.5963
195		307.3537	They'll shoot you when you try and correct them.	309.1031
197		309.6869	You know, and- and- they don't have no disregard for life.	312.6071
199		313.7918	The- the average kid in this- this day- this two thousand fifteen- the average kid in this day	318.1220
201		318.4760	they don't-	318.9941
203		319.1317	they- they lucky if they live to get twenty.	321.2480
205		321.6231	N- or nineteen or twenty, something like that.	323.4849
207		323.8003	They- thems don't live to get twenty-five.	325.4416
209		326.2144	You know, that's- that's cause the, uh,	327.8072
211		328.7133	the- environment's changed. Every- every- well everything has changed, you know. Lifestyles and everything.	333.7333
213		334.5363	And, uh, they just stop going- they just quit going to school when they want to.	338.1485
215		339.3825	And they hang with the boys all day long, doing this and doing that.	342.5383
217		342.7237	So before long, you know- you know /??/.	344.5792
219		344.8041	They gonna get in trouble. Get that record.	346.6601
221		347.5274	And, uh,	348.1362
223		349.5236	<ts>	349.6581
225		350.0050	let's see basically it's a new form of genocide now.	352.5135
227		352.8478	In my opinion.	353.6406
229		354.3627	Whereas once upon a time, uh, the white establishment,	357.4607
231		357.6656	not necessarily the white man- white establishment. They were tryna get blacks-	360.9781
233		361.7572	make sure blacks got a criminal record	363.6866
235		364.5646	at an early age so they couldn't get jobs	366.7778
237		366.9725	later on.	367.6035
239		367.8634	You know, they- well see blacks were unaware of this.	369.8001
241		370.2107	But the white man, well let- he gonna let you break some laws.	372.3910
243		372.6459	But later on, you know, you tryna get a job someplace,	375.4874
245		375.7860	you can't say you've been to jail.	377.2725
247		377.5982	You don't wanna tell 'em that. When they find out, they getting rid of you.	379.8210
249		380.8799	And right now, this day and age, it's- it's- it's, uh,	383.1026
251		384.1567	ones of us didn't get killed	385.4670
253		385.7360	in the street or in- in Vietnam,	388.1045
255		388.3310	cause I came up in that era,	389.5345
257		390.3485	uh,	390.7237
259		391.0281	it's a new form of genocide now whereas, uh, the white man	394.4160
261		394.9186	or the white establishment, if- whichever way you wanna call 'em-	398.0192
263		398.5330	they, uh- they offering the black women a lot of jobs that they ain't- they had never thought of offering a black man.	403.9625
265		404.8445	But they telling the black women	406.2319
267		407.0248	that when you- once you start making this kind of money,	409.4316
269		409.8139	you don't need the black man no more.	411.6373
271		412.3240	That's- now that's- that's just my- it's a new form of genocide.	415.0989
273		415.4073	They ain't tryna kill us no more.	416.8740
275		417.2904	They ain't never tried to hang us in DC.	419.2017
277		419.9026	You know.	420.1716
279		420.4972	They ain't never tried to hang us here.	421.8422
281		422.4421	But this- this- they j- they just breaking up the black family structure, in my opinion.	426.3131
283		426.9998	You know. But the Klan is here too.	428.6704
285		429.1647	Uh, the Klan right down there on Beltsville, the Klan still got billboards up.	432.4476
287		433.0494	Yeah the Klan- the Klan is still here. You know, they haven't gone no place.	436.1541
289		436.7912	You know,	437.1168
291		437.3079	they just- they just got a lot more sophisticated.	440.0224
293		440.2074	You know?	440.4764
295		441.4816	And, um,	441.8497
297		443.0460	<ts> well,	443.4000
299		443.6336	but-	443.8459
301		444.5634	but whites moving in different neighborhoods, you know,	446.8940
303		448.1824	and, uh,	448.7204
305		449.2725	Spanish- some Spanish are coming in and everything, you know.	452.2386
307		453.4745	But it really surprised me when Obama got hired we got a-	456.8157
309		457.3325	that presidency, you know.	458.5005
311		458.6604	I said I never thought I'd see that in my d- in my lifetime,	461.9021
313		462.1432	you know.	462.5043
315		463.6511	And	464.0970
317		464.3985	wow.	464.7029
319		465.5382	<ts>	465.6869
321		467.5486	Uh, like I said, and rent- and rent- well the average- the average black person they can't- we can't afford no houses or	473.3292
323		473.6265	apartments cause the godda- cause the goddamn room will cost you four hundred- four or five hundred, right? <laugh>	477.9983
325		478.1936	A month. A room. Can you /say that/? A room?	480.6471
327		481.0989	Shit, that w- that w- should be definitely a house note.	483.1979
329		484.2319	/?/	484.4726
331		485.1451	Man, my second wife, yeah, she was talking about paying four hundred dollars-	488.3448
333		488.9338	four hundred dollars or something for an apartment, two bedroom apartment, three bedroom apartment. I said, man, baby, that's a house note.	493.7602
335		494.2535	We can pay that for- If we can pay that in rent for a apartment,	497.4566
337		497.9450	shit that's a- that's a house note.	499.2122
339		499.5095	And not- it's not now.	500.6305
341		501.4796	Four hundred- four hundred- five hundred dollars, you lucky if you get a- if you get a decent room in a decent area.	505.9059
343		507.1772	And, um,	507.5594
345		508.9328	<ts>	509.0035
347		509.6619	and they're not treating us any different. In fact, they treating us worse, but, uh,	512.9931
349		513.7506	the teenagers are causing that.	515.3110
351		515.9238	You know,	516.1503
353		516.3682	it's not all of 'em are bad,	517.6723
355		518.8799	not all of 'em- but definitely not all of 'em are bad.	521.1208
357		521.2952	You got- you got a lot of good ones out here,	522.9715
359		523.3396	but they just some- they don't get no publicity	525.5175
361		526.1652	or no media acknowledgement.	527.8870
363		528.2707	The good ones don't.	529.0140
365		529.9059	Every- but every time somebody do something wrong,	532.2886
367		532.8124	it's like, sh, they can't wait to put that in the news, you know.	535.5520
369		537.0934	Right, break in s- break in a car or something like that, or it's just something-	540.3202
371		540.8582	but	541.0352
373		541.3042	I'm not making no excuses for 'em cause they're doing it,	543.6616
375		544.4301	but-	544.7629
377		545.8672	but the- uh, the media, like I say, they- they won't acknowledge the good things the kids are doing	549.6325
379		549.8851	cause you- cause you definitely have a lot of good kids out here.	552.0994
381		553.0281	And, uh,	553.6723
383		553.9151	and there's some good ones being raised by single parents.	556.3452
385		556.7983	It's just- just not the majority.	558.6671
387		559.7401	Uh.	559.9454
389		562.2249	But a license- you can get your license and everything. The kids now, they don't need no license, they'll just steal a car.	566.8470
391		568.1470	Yeah, <clears throat> once upon a time, we h- you had to steal up to four or five cars	572.1395
393		572.4268	even- even if you got caught	573.5948
395		573.8921	before you got a year.	575.0035

407		586.3381	See why would you need a pistol to take a car? You can steal a car.	588.9550
409		589.6227	But they taking pistols. They done- they done- they done changed that whole crime.	592.5363
411		593.2655	You know.	593.6619
413		595.0281	And, uh, and like I say, man, far as the murder rate goes, they- they just don't have no- no disregard for life.	600.6742
415		601.4670	Cause they don't feel like they gonna be here long anyway.	603.6727
417		604.0833	So,	604.4074
419		604.5416	/??/	604.8236
421		605.6052	we just trying not to be a /fact/.	607.0824

432	DCB_se1_ag3_m_01	612.2424	So what are some, like- what are some of your experiences that you've experienced, you know,	615.7506
433	DCB_se1_ag4_m_02	615.9771	[Uh-]	616.6779
434	DCB_se1_ag3_m_01	615.9771	[just in this area?]	616.8407
435	DCB_se1_ag4_m_02	617.2725	uh, well,	618.1220
437		619.0706	now wh- when I came- Okay.	620.5359
439		621.3046	When I came home from Vietnam they treated us-	623.1380
441		623.3433	well they- they- you know, we- were shunned.	625.4882
443		625.7360	You know, when I came out of service.	627.2196
445		628.0691	We were shunned. You know, they- they h- it's like we in the-	630.4618
447		630.6812	we did- we went where the country tell us,	632.4510
449		632.6887	where they told us to go.	633.4745
451		633.9842	So, you know, but everybody- but even in this- in this day and age they say that they never declared that a war.	638.5147
453		639.4391	But, uh, and, uh,	640.4443
455		640.8549	I've been through the VA system,	642.5680
457		643.4924	and, um,	643.9242
459		644.2074	they tell me I got the write to Missouri or something, /??/,	647.2301
461		648.0057	I might can't hear from them in three months. I say well they could- they can- they can look on the computers and get my records and shit.	653.4637
463		653.6902	Cause I know my- I know my numbers and everything.	655.9696
465		656.3277	They want my medical records, they-	657.6444
467		658.1611	it was discouraging, extremely discouraging,	660.2353
469		660.9078	when you go through something like that with the VA system.	663.1984
471		664.2066	/They there-/ they want you to write	665.5769
473		665.8035	/?/	666.0583
475		666.3627	write a letter	667.1980
477		667.3821	to- to Missouri. They give you the address where you write it, but it's gonna take-	670.0833
479		670.2815	And they can do the same- they can do it on a computer.	672.2424
481		672.9856	They get the same information that you gonna get, but they want you to wait.	675.7435
483		677.1310	So I understand, uh,	678.3273
485		678.8971	what a lot of these injured veterans are going through.	681.1324
487		682.5656	But I can't really sympathize with 'em cause I'm- I'm lucky to be alive.	686.0763
489		686.9943	You know? I- Cause I went in the service in nineteen sixty eight,	689.8117
491		690.1921	so	690.5493
493		691.0386	I'm- I'm grateful just to- just to be able to get back here.	693.9535
495		694.6932	You know.	695.0039
496	DCB_se1_ag3_m_01	695.3611	<exhale>	695.6096
497	DCB_se1_ag4_m_02	696.4238	So every day- It's a ble- Every day is a blessing- I'm sixty- I made it to sixty seven.	700.1061

504		704.6569	I walk by myself all the time, and I-	706.8671
506		707.5505	I'm- I got- I'm p- para- not paranoid about crowds, but I don't go no place where there crowds	712.1414
508		712.5254	cause you never know when somebody is gonna do something wrong.	715.1503
510		715.7871	So	716.0745
512		716.5404	in the crowd. When you get a crowds, you don't ever-	718.8707
514		719.0956	when somebody's gonna get mad about something	721.0923
516		721.6085	and pull out a pistol.	722.7346
518		723.3683	You know, start shooting or something.	724.6652
520		726.1951	That's my /?/- that's my-	727.3420
522		727.8260	that's my alarm	728.5482
524		728.7889	going off on my phone.	729.9084
525	DCB_se1_ag3_m_01	729.9767	[<laugh>]	731.5341

529		732.7088	Yeah.	733.1891
531		734.2526	And, uh, right now, I'm just growing through a thing,	736.1760
533		737.6748	/there/.	737.9388
535		738.6378	My truck went out on me. Motor went out on my truck.	740.9210
537		741.0530	I bought a car.	741.9616
539		742.2226	Went to the auction, bought a car.	743.6204
541		744.9018	And, uh,	745.3833
543		746.4931	car's acting up, so I gotta get rid of this car. /<laugh>/	749.7295
545		750.1414	I get rid of this car and try and get me- get me another truck.	752.3540
547		752.6103	The car's- the car's running	753.9172
549		754.7895	but, uh, it was a used car, so	756.5756
551		756.7543	it won't make it through inspection I don't think. /I think-/ I'm not putting too much money in it.	760.1587
553		760.9293	So anyway.	761.7136
555		761.9000	That's just- that's just /parenting/ the experience.	763.7250
557		764.1599	/Yup/ I don't cry about it. I get up every day.	766.4089
559		767.6204	and, um,	768.2650
561		769.2979	when I walk the dog or go on my little walks,	771.4909
563		771.6510	I p- I pick up cans. I pick up mm- I'm into recycling things now.	775.2029
565		777.1306	And so, that's what I do. I- you know what I'm saying. Cause I'm not tryna steal nothing and I'm not tryna break in nothing.	781.9657
567		783.4801	Yeah, so,	783.9694
569		784.1915	yup. People see me- people see me, they ignore me.	786.6145
571		787.6318	But it's cool (burping) cause I wanna be ignored.	789.4568
573		789.8110	<laugh>	790.0051
575		790.3623	/You know?/ (laughing)	790.8050
576	DCB_se1_ag3_m_01	790.8634	Hm.	791.1156
577	DCB_se1_ag4_m_02	791.5583	Yeah.	791.8301
579		792.7620	<ts>	792.8940
581		793.4920	Yeah, like I said, I live in the Benning Heights area,	795.5733
583		796.6730	which is- well the part of it's called Simple City.	798.9484
585		799.7483	And, uh,	800.3307
587		801.1740	they- they, uh, executed a boy over there in the- right in the intersection, uh, last week.	805.6629
589		806.5171	So he ran down. I don't know why they were mad at him, but they ran down on him and shot him.	810.4514
591		811.0717	And people told me he probably coulda got away if he hadn't fell.	814.1394
593		814.4400	But I think he stopped- stopped a couple of bullets so he fell over.	817.1115
595		817.7095	But damn, they just stand over him and finish- and empty the clip now.	820.6109
597		821.3797	You know? They- <exhale> man.	822.8255
599		823.0436	But that's-	823.4377
601		823.7317	but that's what- In broad daylight. This happened in broad daylight. Three thirty, four in the evening.	827.6921
603		828.4573	It's a lot of people out there, son, anyway. No- luckily nobody got hit by no stray bullets, but-	833.2099
605		834.2339	Um.	834.4953
607		835.7172	<ts> but that's how things are.	836.9520
609		838.1527	You know, that's- that's- that's the proof of the pudding right there. That's how it this- this- this life is- this city is. But this- this isn't- and this is not the worst city.	845.9777
611		846.5368	You know?	846.9562
613		847.9968	But yeah, I was around when they made the, uh-	849.9150
615		851.0652	when the- made the Wizards change their name when the Wizards were originally called the Bullets.	854.7820
617		855.1332	They played in Baltimore.	856.4905
619		857.3650	They played in Baltimore. They made- /unintelligible/ We had killers back then.	860.9140
621		861.7384	Oh, I think that was when the cocaine shit came out. You know, cocaine or whatever drugs there was	866.6500
623		866.9994	got real popular.	867.9935
625		868.6070	But there's so many killings.	870.2115
627		870.8441	Shootings in DC, they made- they made a basketball team change their name.	874.3682
629		874.9928	But they'd already moved from Baltimore. It used to be the Baltimore Bullets, then they moved to Washington, so it was the Washington Bullets.	879.9735
631		880.7026	Right, but they made them change their name cause the- cause there's so many killers out here.	883.9914
633		884.7913	/??/	885.1594
635		885.4567	So that's-	886.0884
637		886.5398	And that's been a little while. <laugh>	887.9413
639		888.7172	But, see, things- see, things haven't changed. Things just got worse.	891.5063
641		892.5185	Hm.	892.9574
643		893.9102	<ts>	894.0163
645		895.3543	I- I just hope it can't get any- too much worse.	897.6195
647		898.2779	Cause, you know.	898.7805
649		900.5827	<exhale>	900.9932
651		902.1259	Hm. What do you s- what do you wanna hear [about?]	903.6512

659		914.6709	/I don't know/. I don't particularly like, uh,	916.2142
661		916.4260	service movies and things cause they-	918.3632
663		919.5100	cause they- You know, they- you might get a little bit of the truth, but	922.4407
665		922.6035	it appears you don't get a whole lot of the truth, you know.	924.8871
666	DCB_se1_ag3_m_01	925.1773	Oh, [okay.]	925.8002

682		938.6072	you know.	938.8975
684		940.0230	But it was the experience.	941.0495

688		946.2991	uh, that Post Traumatic Syndrome, you know.	948.9150
690		951.5700	<ts> No PTS, I don't suffer from nothing like that.	953.7432
692		954.5048	Cause I- I just try and live my life right	956.4869
694		956.6780	and don't wor- and don't worry about nobody else.	958.7097
696		959.5137	Now don't try and correct- Definitely don't try and correct nobody else. If I see somebody doing something wrong,	963.7682
698		964.6427	I ju- I just go ahead and l- and leave, you know.	966.8021
