Peter, thanks for all the Amazing work you do. Just one request….you need to make a series on Micronesia. Specially Guam, “where America’s day begin” but nobody talks about it. There are so many issues and views to cover there. From people that lost family to WWII and agrees with the USA military presence there to people that lost land to the military and want complete independence. So it’s an interesting place with a lot of history and it’s part of the United States. The history of the Chamorro and Micronesian people are very deep. Would be nice to expose it. I can contact you with some people there.

[@WeGetItOutTheMudTv]

I love your content Peter, first videos I watched were about the Hasidic Jews. I learned a lot. I saw a recent video titled escaping hood mindset, I noticed you attempted to tell the guy how blacks attempt to take advantage or use victimization as a crutch. I was a little disappointed and disheartened at that. In this video, the black woman in the church doorway was trying to enlighten you but I noticed you did a lot of editing. You also gave her no pushback, why? She was 1000% correct. Black people have and always been terrorized here. I don’t think you really understand the African American experience. When you or other white people try to tell blacks they should get over the past, that is profoundly inconsiderate and dismissive. There isn’t a people on the planet that has experienced 300 years of slavery and terror. The holocaust lasted 5-10 years total. Slavery alone lasted 300 plus years!!! When you say blacks should’ve gotten over that unprecedented attempt at extinction at the hands of terrorist, who are you saying has went thru the same thing and has recovered??? There is no one remotely close to the slavery experience in the history of the world!!! Slavery changed the whole mindset of a group of people and that was replaced with the European mindset! That has caused black peoples problems! Why did you skip through that woman and her telling you about blacks being terrorized??? Ask yourself why

Really? What makes you the moral judge of that? Anyway, let's say he actually believes that poverty equals "being better" (whatever "better" stands for). It requires him having a choice, right? I doubt that was the case. And if he were to start questioning society, would that make him a worse man and, by extension, rich people "better"? Obviously not. So, moral rhetoric is useless until you want to pacify poverty and maintain the status quo for the rich.

[@auburnkim1989]

​@@TJ-hs1qmYou seem to have a problem with people who do not choose to label themselves victims and who have found the ability to be content in every situation through faith. I think that says something about you as well. I promise you that the way that you are choosing to think about things will not lead you to happiness nor will it make any positive change in the world. I feel that only a very lost and unhappy person would see that man's words as anything other than his testimony. It is a part of our culture here, both black and white, to speak out loud our love for God, so you need to know that I have already prayed for you and thanked God for you. I hope you will soon find the peace and contentment that I and many others share with this man in Selma. Please take care.....

[@ethanbrown5268]

I’ve grown up my entire life in the black belt of Alabama and I’ve never known it to be called that because of the people, but because of the rich black soil across this part of the state

[@Ahch.]

I'm from just north of Moundville. The area is named the black belt for both reasons. Just like Chief Tuskaloosa was also named the "Black Warrior". Hence, the black warrior river.

[@stephenfisher3721]

​@@Ahch. Black Belt meaning soil dates back before the people brought from Africa were called Blacks. Black is actually a very recent term; before that Blacks were called Negroes and before that Colored. When Black Belt became popular Blacks were called Colored. That's why the NAACP stands for The Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Because of the use of Black today, people think Black Belt refers to people and it could be some people are using it that way today, not knowing history and how language changes.

[@UHollis]

You are correct, the name comes of the wonderful soil and the proximity to the Black Warrior river. Peter, u could do this trip 20 times and it would never look the same.

We had cookouts with neighbors & looked after each other. My experience although we are considered poorer, still is the best.

Many quality jobs have been created and as a result, some fine towns have prospered. Towns such as Prattville are a fine example.

Hi Peter. I live in the Valley Grande area of Selma. My 19 year old daughter was at work when the tornado hit her place of work. Her and other coworkers made it under a table just as the roof blew out. As of last week (a year later), they have moved back into that building and ongoing work is underway.

Then you figure you can let it sit while you work up the money and then you'll repair it after that. But price of living goes up and your wages stay the same.
