Sacramento the city of trees, the city where everyone gets along, where there’s no violence, good income, good food, and really good schools. Sacramento is the place you'll want to be, we have festivals every Friday night and on Saturday we have big outside concerts with really good singers and bands, Great for the family and friends. We also have a the Arden Fair Mall, where you can go with your family and friends to shop, eat, walk around etc. In the summertime when you want to get wet, you can go to Raging Waters with the family, there's slides, river pools,kid areas and the best part of all the wave pool. And when you get hungry there are alot of food stands and snack areas to have a good time.


Some of that may seem true but i'm going to show you the true colors behind Sacramento, California. 

Sacramento is not what you think it is not everyone gets along, theres alot of gang activity and people dying because of it. 

Theres A whole lot of gun violence and Gang violence. Majority of the schools are good but only in the rich neighborhoods other than that the schools are messed up, a lot of fighting, disrespecting teachers, no one doing work, a lot of ditching, no one getting along and people getting jumped because of gangs, sometimes even getting shot putting their life in danger. Gun violence has been getting more and more dangerous in the past couple years from cops and gangs. Also in my city people are diverse and judge people for their skin color. The only place you'll find no violence is in downtown or the rich areas because there more secure, more getting along, no gang activity, no gun violence, and a lot of things to do other than gang banging and fighting.


I was born in Sacramento, I grew up in Sacramento, I live in Sacramento but in order for me to survive I need to leave Sacramento. It's horrible how many innocent people die over police brutality and gun violence. Our people should not be suffering like this every single day of their lives because the color of their skin.  That video of Sacramento was 80% lies and 20% true, I don't like how they only show white people. There is no Black, Hispanic or Asian people. Everyone in the video look happy and are having a good time but that is only in downtown. The video is based on Sacramento but only shows downtown not East, West, North or South Sac. Those videos of Sacramento don’t show what the other half of Sacramento goes through.


I wish the people of Sacramento were more polite and less diverse, and respect each other for who we are. We all need to come to a conclusion and find a way to stop all the gun violence and police brutality. I love you Sacramento.

I wrote this to show the true colors of Sacramento since those videos don't.
