This is why the conspiracy is that Thugs are manufactured by the system itself. Can you imagine if these boys were driven to want to engage in politics.

That poses a direct threat to those cushy seats in power right now.

I’m born and raised in New Orleans, and I can tell you first hand. This is probably one of the only videos like this where I see no exaggeration. New Orleans was always bad, but after Katrina everyone had to move into neighborhoods they wouldn’t even think of stepping foot into prior to Katrina. It caused chaos. People now had to live next door to dudes they were shooting at just months before. People from different projects (certain projects don’t get along with other projects) now had to be right across the street from one another. Made shooting one of your “enemies” allot easier.

"It's mandatory that you hustle in the City of New Orleans." I grew up in New Orleans, and I came from a lower class upbringing. I got my first job when I was 14 and went from there. One of the silver lining in New Orleans is that if you're honest and hard working, you can excel quite easily because there is so little competition! If you want a job, go find one, work hard, save your money, you can build a good life like I did. It's only your own mental defeatism and pessimism that keeps you poor and destitute if you're not even trying to make an honest living. After 30 years, I left the city of New Orleans. My wife and I have a house we own in a small rural town and a baby on the way. No regrets, it is sad to see New Orleans, the city I grew up in, a city I still love and have many friends and family in going downhill like this, but my advice to my loved ones is and has been to leave, it is a sinking ship that is only getting worse. The narrative that Katrina is the cause for the desolation of New Orleans is laughable. Of course it's true that the city was devastated, my Dad's house flooded, but if you look at a smart, culturally city like Hiroshima or Nagasaki, they were largely rebuilt into clean, function cities roughly 7 years after being bombed with nukes. New Orleans has had almost 20 years at this point, it's clear that something else is going on. The city is rotten and unhealthy, culturally, socially, politically, and that is why it has not, and probably never will fully heal from Katrina, blaming that on Katrina is missing the point. Side note, I lived uptown right next Chicken and Watermelon, they head GREAT fried Okra, fresh watermelon juice (obviously) and a really funny painting of Obama playing pool with JayZ and Lil Wayne.

The whole city is broken from the Hurricanes. Tax dollars went way down, so a bunch of budget cuts.

The housing is pretty "affordable" compared to other cities that size, but that's because they're all broken down. And then the good houses are borderline gated communities if they aren't in one already because they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on armed security and HOA's have to provide basic city services.

Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok( ETERNAL PLACE) 😊😊 God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok.

This is wild, bc I'm literally born and raised in NOLA. Lived there (except when I went away to college and when I briefly lived in Atlanta and NYC), and this couldn't be farther from my experience. I moved to Dallas a couple years ago, though. Never really saw any of the crime myself (it was kinda like background noise on the news that I could basically ignore), went to a top school, always felt safe walking around to the places I wanted to go. As a teen, the most "crime" I got into would be more considered pranks by today's standards (like we "broke into" Hagen Daas after hours and stole a tub of ice cream lol). But post-college, I made a friend who grew up literally a few blocks over from where I lived and her experience is more in line with this video. She had been shot several times, was trafficked as a child, had to do sex work to survive, and recently died of an OD. I couldn't believe all this was going on within a few blocks from me! It's like we lived in parallel universes. And before anyone asks 😒, I'm black, but my friend, Nicole (R.I.P.) was white. I'm in the process of adopting her daughter, since she has no other family. I want her to have a life like I had. NOLA is truly a tale of two cities.

2:44 I looked up his name alongside New Orleans and an article from January 2014 was one of the first links. In it it reads that at around 1:50 am, the suspect Joshua Adams was pulled over for “driving with what appeared to be an altered temporary license plate.” Police removed the suspect from the vehicle for officer safety after they saw him chewing on a white powdery substance they believed to be cocaine. The suspect was then arrested for an outstanding attachment and obstructing justice by appearing to swallow cocaine. For medical reasons, police supervisor asked Adams what he had swallowed and noticed he was still chewing on the substance. The officers attempted to have the suspect spit the substance out, but police say he began spitting blood and became unresponsive. Adams was then transported to the Ochsner hospital where he died. Police say testing at the hospital revealed cocaine and marijuana in his system. A background check showed that he had a previous charge for cocaine 7 years prior to the incident. So via this article it appears that this case is far from police brutality, and instead that his brother-in-law was on cocaine and died via complications.

Like in Camden, Nj, those people are often in cahoots with the same criminals running the open air drug markets. NJs solution was to absolve the local government, create a county police force, have the state run the city because the residents were so incompetent they couldn’t find anyone that was able to do it. So, they’ve actually cleaned up the downtown and north Camden sections of the city. The Philadelphia 76ers opened their training facility, there is now a massive hospital/campus facility. The streets are clean. The city is still super poor but getting better, but they got rid of the crime so at least there is opportunity now. This pretty much proves the point that poverty doesn’t cause crime, crime causes poverty. Get rid of the crime and business returns and opportunities abound.

This is exactly why I left New Orleans, the very first dude wasn't wrong with what he said. Crime has gotten so bad there and I couldn't handle hearing about all these little kids dying because they got caught in the violence.

Spoken Like a true Boomer. I was at a funeral in New Orleans in May. The best friend of my relative that had passed was a 77-year-old retired homicide detective. I listen to that man Complain about black people using the n-word more times than I could count for 2 hours at a funeral. 5 months before that I was at a party under I-10 being the only white person there and had a mother f****** blast. The old people that racistly blame the most disenfranchised of their community are disgusting, backwards, ignorant and the problem.

God, it is surreal watching you go by MY OWN DAMEND HOUSE. Thank you for actually binging attention to the city and the anecdotes we have rather than the offhanded way most news sources report about our problems. The striking thing is how even as bad as it gets no one here wants to abandon hope. Honestly, that is our saving grace... unlike so many other places Mola isnt hopeless.

I really appreciated the school faculty for what they were doing. It’s awesome that they are giving kids a chance to open their mind and explore their creativity to the fullest while keeping crime out of it. It’s horrible what those people have to go through everyday. Watching this was very humbling to me. I pray for those who you interviewed. They all seemed like awesome people. It was heartbreaking to hear their stories of living there.

What's crazy to see is that I delivered beer to every corner store and gas station that was shown in this video. At 2:50, one time I was delivering to fuel express and it was later than I normally would deliver and people were selling drugs literally all around me. But just like people said in the video, as long as I didn't make eye contact with anyone they didn't really mess with me. I still felt vulnerable delivering to all of these places on rocheblave, Martin Luther king, Louisiana Ave....

Wow, we need more educators like that guy talking to the band class. I went to a fairly well-off public school, financially speaking, and we didn't have a single staff member willing to be that real with the students. Today's kids and young adults need guidance, and too many educators are scared to hold their ground, reprimand, or criticize negative behavior due to how a lot of students and their parents react. At my school, if a teacher talked that way to students, even if they were right and justified, they'd probably get fired due to students and parents causing a fuss.

He's doing his job and conducting himself in a transparent and mutually beneficial way to people who are agreeing to be in his videos. There's no deception suggesting that these interviews and interactions were more than mutual and consenting exposure. Every interview is consensual and welcomed. It's mutually beneficial business.

[@aubryroque2077]

I’m a 20 year old from New Orleans, I go to school here and I have lived here my whole life. Throughout my life, I’ve heard of people who have died that I’ve known. It came to a bit of a harsh realization last year when I was 19 when I learned that someone I knew in high school died, and when I was 14 when a kid I went to middle school with was murdered. Even though it’s the murder capital, I promise that the whole city isn’t just this unsafe haven. There are certain parts that are more dangerous than others, but staying on like Carrolton or near the Levee in Algiers is a pretty safe place to be at times. I’ve gone on nighttime walks, and I don’t fear anything because I’m tall and large, and I know how to mind my business and keep safe, but it’s crazy hearing these peoples stories because I’ve heard them my whole life. It’s become pretty normal to hear this from my friends parents who live on Freret or in the Ninth Ward. It’s even crazier to see some of these comments from people who aren’t from here because it’s such a surprise to hear from them, but it’s become completely normalized to me. Really insane in retrospect to see how normal it is.

[@melizzamelizza]

That ain't normal what you're living. The crazy thing is hip hop is creating this environment and the pathology of the hood is toxic. This shouldn't be life. Young Man travel and see the world. Get out of Blackistan.
