The Derrion Albert (RIP) incident has really affected me. I refuse to watch the video. Here is an interesting piece by Edward Hayes relating the incident to Emmet Till -- remember Kanye's verse "scared as h#$$ that her guy looked like Emmet Till". Here is an "Open Letter To Young Warriors In Chicago" by Nas. Is there something that can be done to avoid situations like this in the future?

Can you solve two-step equations?
Coming up...multi-step equations.
BTW, do you know the distributive property?
