Around 15 years ago a friend of mine (White) was working on a crew repairing gas lines for So Cal Gas in Compton. I asked him is it crazy down there and he said no. He told me twice that week an older black woman had made sun tea and home made cookies and invited his crew to sit on her porch in the shade. Just wanted to put something positive out here.
Well Compton is like 70% Mexican now so it's really not that bad. I was there last summer.
i am from poland, over summertime worked with 2 friend in the us in jersey city.
Once in 7-11 one black man wanted to gut before us in the queue. Started offending me and friends so beat him up.
On the next day, we wanted to get some meal in 7--11 again. There were a few black men already waiting for us with baseball bats. So we had to run.
After few yard we checked behind us, there was only 1 chasing us yet. So we got back, beat him up.
This way I got in the possesion of basebal bat which is my souvenir from the US.
Thx jersey city.
@@krzysztofp7846 HAHAHA that is awesome! Good on you for defending yourself.

In a world where we are told by the media to hate each other; seeing videos like this are a real breath of fresh air. #respect
They're just as self-aware as the rest of us about it. It baffles me how that recent divisive rhetoric has been prospering when 90% of the people I see or talk to IRL recognize it for what it is. Unless it's legitimately manufactured by the media...
Sorry, but how do you suppose? That Cashmere guy clearly hitched up with his former mother-in-law, something very disrespectful to his ex-wife; at 24:50, that Samoan-lady-kisses-him DESPITE being married. I'm starting to think Pacific Islanders just come here so that their women can get with the brothers, same with the Latinas. Like Cashmere is no longer with her daughter (his friend even said so), but she-still-KISSED him at 24:50 when she doesn't-even-kiss-her-own-husband
Good video I worked in A 90 % Black neighborhood for 30 years I was the only white guy around most of the time I felt comfortable hanging out after work and partying with my coworkers and people in the hood they new how to party i didn't even notice any ones color we all helped each other with whatever had a nickname to
@@ChagossianCheetahthey covered bitterness at 31:40 you’re welcome. All relationships don’t need to end on a bad note. Maybe they outgrew each other? What a strange oddly almost anti Samoan take you have😂 I’m white so I’m the muthafuckin devil 😈
We're told by patriotism, America, Trump, white privilege, white supremacy, military invasions, blacklisting, redlining, wealth disparity, sexism, anti-immigrant hate, partisanship, anti-Asian violence, and the trash you call "forefathers" to hate each other, cmon keep it real...
Cashmere has such a great attitude. He laughs legit at the silly things Peter says. “I haven’t seen old e in like 100 years.” Cashmere gives the most authentic laugh. Great vibe
I agree!! Cashmere seems like he has a great head on his shoulders!!
He is very smart in how he communicates!
He can become a wealthy business minded person very quickly with his fame now thanks to Peter!!!
I love cash’s laugh too! I replay it 😂
It's weird that he hooked up with his mother-in-law, though. At 24:50, even though Cashmere is no longer with her daughter, she-kisses-him. Seems Samoan women, especially married old-er ones, have a thing for the brothers. I just feel bad for her daughter (Cashmere's ex). Imagine if she watches this and sees her own mom-kissing-her-ex, that has gotta be awkward.
It's amazing how Peter can interact with anyone from all walks of life in this country and feel welcomed instantly, the authenticity.
It's because he's a respectful person. He does his homework on where he's going. He's friendly and easy to talk to. Not being a dick can take you far in life.
I so much agree!!!
99.99% of people you meet just be respectful and you're good.
You can do the same.
@@beau-urnsa bit high of a percentage
26:19 "Just because we agree with something and you don't, don't make you a racist." There are millions of people in this country that need to learn this statement. Disagreement/beefs/fights between people of different races is not automatically racially motivated. People within the same races have the same problems and nobody says a word.
“And I took that personally” -every white ‘liberal’ woman ever
Totally agree I’m tired of the ole racist shit
The blm radical democrats liberals movement in this generation started that crap in the real racism oppression era my grandpa told me people even though they had to fight for civil rights were not throwing race around day and night blacks just worked hard for better lives freedom and even though they were mistreated they never blame or called everyone even white Americans racist like they do today
@@marchelljones4961 me too honey 👏🏾
Still don’t be racist..
We need to see culture of native Americans it would be interesting to see their perspective
There's endless cultures but not enough genuine learners with open minds.
Ain’t nothing but Teepees a maybe a casino or two. 😂
There exists a huge area called “Cherokee nation” which is a country within the US. Those people literally sleep in the fields in tents and hitchhike to go anywhere. Very interesting stories to hear.
Yes, I agree 👍
@@MyKneeGrows2 trollolololol
Totally impressed with their take on racism, the welfare state, single motherhood and knowing that we are intentionally being deceived. Really well said, thank you!
And yet they told the guy if he was alone he’d have been tapped.
@@btgkg9639well ya it’s still Compton
@@btgkg9639yall always find SOMETHING to complain about, u watching a hood vlog stop being a pussc‼️
@@dethkicstart it’s still a shit hole
@@btgkg9639 I think he would've been tapped bcuz he's not from the hood not bcuz he's white
Man, your videos should be required viewing in high schools across this country. So eye opening and also a great reminder that you can connect with anybody from anywhere, it just takes empathy and willingness to LISTEN.
100%, people will always agree on more than they disagree. Don't let others divide us.
Schools are indoctrination camps to learn the wrong way and to learn un-truths.
At no point did this video bring up this fact.
With a crime rate of 38 per one thousand residents, Compton has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 26.
@@terranboot9405 The fraudulent "political parties do a good enough job" divide and conquer.
100%!
Peter these documentaries are the best. You don't involve yourself and actually come in as a visitor. Other people tend to instigate. I love this channel ❤️
Why would he involve himself? He's not a gang member?
@@4thdisciple514 he might get influenced
Well at least on "black mat" nobody can get slept and fall and split open they head because it has a soft floor. They care.
Yep.. I will say it yet again.. Respect for your cleverly thought out historical documentation & culture reporting.. you will be remembered in the future, you just do not realize it so much (yet)
Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!!!
You can tell these guys actively ponder the problems that plague their communities and speak solutions instead of complaints. I wish more people would advocate and let them tell their stories the way you do Peter.
Firechild it wonder if Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre still visits Compton even though they've made it big.
@@emilio2647 It's too dangerous .
Very true, we need more solutions
They should start with not wasting all their money in cars, rims, jewelry, and shoes. That would be a good start
'Government, give us money while we stand around drinking' isn't a solution.
I honestly didn't expect to see so much love. Respect is obviously very important but so is friendship.
Well, looks like you've missed the point - that he'd still be tapped alone
Went immediately from your Appalachia vid to this. That's almost two hours of viewing, and not a single moment of boredom. Simply fascinating.
Man, love how open they are with answering the questions Peter asks. This version of Compton still shows the community vibes are there without the politics. Good job.
The SJW version of Compton. 😂
@@gqloc6768 SJW really?? People want to live a normal life is now seen as a political fringe group??
@@Blacktolite - It's a disaster if you ask me. Back when I grew up, it was normal and now you have all of these disgusting alphabet agendas plaguing the minds of people especially youngsters so they could become members of these satanic inspired people!
@@gqloc6768 there gotta be a bigger disease of gang culture that cannot be eradicated this has been happening since 60s that's 60 years since death of MLK. Goddammit black America has a problem
@@Blacktolite - It's a problem for every race. I'm against all of that but it doesn't mean groups or agendas should be popping up everywhere and in all honesty are gangs of their own but these gangs are influencing the minds of people of all races to believe in stuff that should've stayed in the closet. I can't elaborate more on it due to YT being aligned with these agents of evil.
Good day! I was playing around with that first comment because I come from a time that was a lot more hardcore and in all honesty I do like that the gang culture had gone down exponentially throughout the years; it's just a different kind of fight is now on the table.
This is what we need to see, not the mainstream media side of story. Thanks peter for another awesome docu.
Everyone programmed and caught in the matrix. For most, there is no hope.
They're grown children. Sad really
Mainstream lies they want people divided but we need to love one another
Not sure what you mean. The mainstream media tries to portray gangbangers in a positive light, otherwise "iTz rAySiS"
EXACTLY. Main stream media is a BULL$h!t
To the community. Thank you for allowing us into your family. Peace and love!
Peter, You definitely have a new family in that hood. I was not expecting to see what you showed all of us in this awesome video. You've given me a completely new outlook on how a community really should be, like the one I remember growing up in outside of Chicago where everyone knew each other, and everyone watched out for each other. Things have really changed and it's a shame.
Thank you for doing what you do, Peter.
Now I know why you have over 2 million subs!!! Including me!
No he doesn’t. He won’t be able to walk in that hood alone, EVER.
@@btgkg9639 Facts.
The people from Compton Peter met in this video make more sense than political activists and politicians. Their take on life, family, crime, police, race, BLM, and community was refreshing.
Oh yes totally! 💯!
I think it’s because they’re being honest. Politicians and activists are full of crap and it shows.
The politicians and celebrities eat off of these communities. They draw the picture, they drive the agenda all the while dividing the people and lining up they pockets.
You wouldnt get this much exposure of the real without independent people like Peter putting in the work.
@@samantham2204 yes sir, activists are fucking stupid nowadays smfh. I was an activist in high school but gave it up because majority were filled with people who whine and don’t act on their “insights”. I was one of them.
If we didn't have activists we wouldn't be where we are now.
That talk about fatherhood was amazing. The honesty was refreshing. They know our kids are the most important thing in life.
yes preach to that !!! But let's be honest it is a very shithole to raise a child there they are so brave
😂 yeah..sure they do 😆😂
What a bunch of BS .. they don't give a f
Hmm, I thought there was a pretty big problem with the fatherhood conversation. They seemed to be saying "if I cheat on my woman, she shouldn't keep me from seeing my kids." That felt like a distinct lack of personal responsibility when it came to the fatherhood aspect, and they also seemed to downplay the effect that being "fatherless" has on kids.
@@KevinJennissenThat’s not a lack of personal responsibility. They may have wronged their woman but they want to see their kids and still do good for them. Idc who you are or what’s happened to you, you have no right to prevent anyone from seeing their own kids.
Peter and those who brought him into the community, great to see these videos bringing everyone together. The willingness to have a dialogue, listen to each other's words and cultures. Fantastic.
You will not find this togetherness on CNN or Fox. Here is the real news.
Yeah until they shoot you up or kill someone else
How is it fantastic when the culture is shit
Peter, your interaction with others and the repour you create with others is just Fantastic! You talk WITH people and engage with them with genuine interest. Thank you for all the enlightenment you bring to us!
Living and being raised in Compton, I love to see the representation. Everything is not all bad like the media portrays it and I’m glad that people got to see a different side of it🔥💯
I am from Europe , my dream is to drive one day in Compton with the 64 Impala listening Ice Cube damn🔥 gta san andreas vibes
Its interesting being from Brazil seeing what I would call middle high class buildings and structures with people that are considered criminals and gangsters. Such a huge contrast of wealth between countries.
Great point kkkk 📠
Real, fico pirando nisso também, os vídeos do Peter mostram pra nós umas perspectivas muito lokas
Ouvimos falar tanto de Compton nass músicas, e a quebrada da minha cidade é muito pior kkkkk
And they still find a way to ruin it
@@marcoAKAjoe they try It here in BR as well, and we are already fucked up
Violence sells unfortunately and I am so happy to see positive press for the area. It is heartwarming.
We need more positive content like this.
Hood life is not the same as thug life. These guys deserve respect.
They talked about robbing new people in the area and if they didnt fight back enough theyd make them permanent every day robbery victims. So deserving of respect.
He deserves respect? Even though-he-rizzed up his ex's mom at 24:37 and let-her-kiss-him at 24:50? I think he did that just to get back at her ex, since he knows Samoan women are loose and that despite being married, they-kiss-other guys, especially the brothers. 24:50 speaks for itself, a married Samoan lady-kissing-her-daughter's ex
@@ChagossianCheetah I don't think it's a kiss like that you know ?
Dude in the red hoodie was right on about the police and BLM not doing sh*t for the community unless some tragedy takes place. The lack of a father I feel is a huge problem in the hood and is a major reason why a lot of kids get involved in crime at a young age.
BLM founders are trained Marxists and buy Communist mansions and are now wealthy. They are most likely Soros money ppl made to divide and conquer the United States
@@DavidRodriguez-er4rq Republicans don’t like Latinos any more than Democrats do. Actually even less. You know that, right?
@@strnglhld you are an infant
Well the lack of fathers is another reason why BLM needs to exist. Everyone who’s done a small amount of research knows that blacks get locked up for doing the same crimes that whites do at higher rates which is why the fathers were never there.
it’s says 4 replies but there’s no replies, strange…
Peter...dude...you are the master of sociology! Our world is a better place with you and your work in it. Thank you! And the music BK Cashmere is putting out is the real deal cool! Thank you!
On facts boa I been out here I stay out here boaaaaaa
I feel the same, except for my Anthropology degree instead of Sociology, but both apply. This is how you introduce people to people and how they live and think. His videos are amazing.
That’s actially a great title for him, yeah. Master Sociologist
I just found your channel and I cannot stop watching every single video. Every single one has given me an amazing insight into worlds and communities I would never have had a chance to see otherwise. I have an enormous amount of respect for not only you, but the people that allow you to bring all of this to us. Amazing. Please never stop doing this.
I want to thank all of you for taking the time and working hard to make videos that tell the truth about the situation. Peace.
I love how people from the hood can express how they feel about the hood and gangs and we can see their view. The media shows a completely wrong picture of them. Thanks for your vids really helping me out.
Facts so do I they make gangs look horrible I mean they do horrible things but there also very chill
Gangs are stupid lol
Facts look at the narrative they always push racist people this and that. I felt like I was maybe wrong all this time its being pushed so hard. Man were all Americans we all will die one day and all go back to the earth. I don't see why the news can't push positive things man I'd watch then but now I just turn that garbage off.
Coming from a former gang member.. yea, the media definitely doesn't portray it correctly. However, don't try to paint these men as good people. They're gang members.. adult.. street gang members. Their entire life is about being negative. Don't sugar coat it.
@@marcoAKAjoe Go tell them that in person bro
don’t say it on RUclips behind a screen with some lame lol behind it.
Peter Santanello is probably THE MOST important youtuber whos actually doing what modern Sociologists should be doing. Much respect to you and to the people you vlog about. For what it's worth, hip hop/black culture is so influential to the extent that we even have copy cat crip/blood where I live. And it's continents away.
You ain't a crip, blood.
@@chivalrous_chevy1163 thank you for pointing out the obvious. This seems to be a skill prevalent among people like you.
@Val Kyrie you most welcome.
@@chivalrous_chevy1163he never claimed to be a crip or a blood you goofy ass nigga
Well damn, I am really sorry to hear that this evil garbage has spread to where you live. There is nothing cute about gang culture. It is pure darkness, violence, and more violence.
I cannot cease to be amazed by the quality of the videos, the empathy that brings the best out of the interviews, the respect for all different cultures... wow, it´s mind-blowing.
I'm Chicano, my son is 15 now and we live a quiet life. I do not succumb nor entertain gang ways, or affiliations either. My home is quiet, I am alone and my son is busy learning online
Smart move to keep him inside if you’re living in the hood.
These are the type of videos the country needs to see. We aren't as divided as the media wants us to be.
Yes 💯! I'm so tired of these activists tearing this country apart.
Ya but they kept telling Peter he was only ok because he was with them. And that they would have robbed him
If they weren’t there. That’s not good lol
@@DoubleDash28 Yea, that's why white people prefer living around other white people.
The guys in this video are basically reinforcing what we already know...
Come to this neighbourhood on your own etc you're in trouble... Drugs... Gang culture...
In what world is this positive?
Coming from a different part of the world, most of the things we know about hoods, gang culture and black activism is either from mainstream media and Hollyweird. Your videos gives us a real view of what it's like out there, coming from real people. Thanks, man and much respect!
Hellyweird. Glad unsaidnit right.

@@kronosad2759 Its half right half wrong. If you lived in a hood, you can definitely stress about whether you’re gonna get shot randomly, beat up, or basically messed with the wrong person over a small thing.
Yes, they live in a community where they know each other as a family but gangs are involved, its just gonna be a never ending cycle on whether something is gonna happen to you or not.
@@kronosad2759 Also, I don’t get why you people outside of the US believe in movies. They’re movies… don’t believe its all real. Its usually fiction mixed with non-fiction to keep the audience intrigued.
A recent trip to LA, and I stumble across this video. This is the first of yours which I have watched all of the way through. I think the viewer can feel the sesne of actual community in this. As you said, there is an actual brotherhood amongst the people there. It was such a great video and insight to some of the people in the areas. Good messages and real life.
I Love & am hooked on all your videos. I’ve been Street Ministering for about 34 years. I don’t give a ‘sales pitch’ & each individual is unique… sometimes it’s just listening to their story & letting them know they are loved.
I feel I get to travel around the country & I learn so much by your conversations & insightful questions 👍♥️💪 Thank you for being Real
The best show!! Not caring about politics, focusing the effort to check the stories of the people and their reality. Great job Peter!!!
It's discriminating towards us who love politics

@@locochang6533 exactly. Everyone romanticizes it until they live it.

@@locochang6533 that's anywhere because like it is stated .. the human condition is messy...everywhere..
I'd wipe my ass with those Compton sweat shirts
Thank you guys! We need more brotherly love. Be kind and stay safe everyone.
Always appreciate the respect you give to every community, wherever you go. Finding the common elements of humanity in each community. Noting the fascinating elements unique to each community. Everyone everywhere should watch your videos.
This is dangerous levels of wholesome. Coming from small town Indiana you'd think we would have more tight knit communities but everyone is weird and paranoid. People don't talk to each other.
@JarJar I realize I didn't get my point out there very good. I'm saying if you took my small farm town and a rough urban area like this and asked which one had a tighter knit community that looks out for each other in my opinion I'd assume it's the small town but it's really not. I've never experienced anything like what they have where everyone not only knows everyone but looks out for each other and hangs out. Most of the people in my town will call the cops on you over anything. As a kid if I was out skateboarding and trying to get exercise instead of staying in and doing drugs like a lot of kids I'd still get "good Samaritans" that would call the cops and follow me around and watch me and accuse me of breaking people's stuff. Later in life my neighbor had my place raided cus he smelled weed even though his place smelled like piss and later he called em cus my music was too loud. In my town it's pretty much stay inside and keep it down cus if you bother anyone over 35 you're going to get a visit from law enforcement. Maybe it's safer overall but you feel very socially isolated and the only reason people care to acknowledge you're existence is if they're surveiling you like you're some kind of criminal. It's really sad.
you right about that
They were laughing about robbing people on the street and saying the only thing to remember when cheating on your girl is to not have a kid with the other. There's nothing wholesome here.
Don't be fooled by a puff piece. These people are soulless monsters with zero regard for their own lives or each other's.
@@ayrton42I agree, these people weren’t very good
Thanks Pete for providing us with accurately represented and informative content
You’re really doing great work introducing different cultures for everyone to see that while we are all very different, we are all intrinsically linked by our values and struggles. It’s interesting to view through an honest lense. I find I’ll start your videos and then watch all the way through without realizing the time going by. Truly great stuff. Subscribed.
This was incredible! I have huge respect for these men! Another awesome job Peter.
There's nothing to respect about them.
I’ve been in education for 30 years. Started my career at Compton High. Never a dull moment but man I learned a lot. A great Black and Chicano/Latino community!!!
Can you elaborate? It’s a fascinating subject
Mexicans and Chicanos don't like to use the term Latino.
Good to see Bloods & Crips get along. ITS ABOUT TIME!! One family!! Ten fingers ten toes two arms two legs a strong heart & a strong mind. We are all equal!!

men and women are different not equal, but yeah we are all important :)
💯% facts.
@@benhartart9487 what do you mean?
@@benhartart9487 men and women should be equal.
The diversity in these videos just amazes me and your ability to meet all of these different people, walk into their worlds and have them open up to you I just absolutely love seeing. What I a getting from all of these (I've only recently stumbled upon your channel and have been enthralled with it) is that once you get away from all of the high level B.S. in the world (that seems to consume so many people) people are people and as we go through life we all just want to live it in relative peace. I've said for years now that if we turned off the news and went outside and talked to our neighbors about the things we have going on we'd all probably realize we all have a lot more in common than we may think.
So after watching this, I’m almost in tears! The way these ppl come together no matter the culture is something we all could learn! I know it’s from a year ago but these are real men. Thanks Peter for bringing this to the light!
Naive anglo
16:27 when BK talks about people focussing on the wrong things in life... "the newest sneakers... the newest car..." then he walks right past a brand new corvette and doesn't even notice. BK Cash is a class act and is as authentic as it gets. Great segment!

Yeah but a terrible cheating dad.
really seemed like a dude to hang with
Compton really has One of the most respectful communities.... Even tho i'm Arabian middle eastern , once i got a Flat tire accidently after leaving Hollywood and ended up in Compton by the normal regular weekend night-out.... And from what i heard i got really shocked , it was like late night like around 11PM outside. ( Suddenly i got helped by bunch of respectful Black people in Compton like real OG's... I was studying abroad back then in LA and that incident was like late 2013 or 2014 i'm never forgetting that moment and all of it was for Free ). Got helped by 2 random respectful black dudes and a Mexican in Compton , sure i had a friend with me but still i felt like i was at Home in my town in Kuwait like seriously no BS straight-up good decent people.... Just shows how Media is BS compared to Real stuff and incidents.... That's some Real respect tho i was blown away even tho i wasn't invited i was totally struck by a flat tire in Compton LA.
At the end of it , i ended up just hooking up the great dudes who helped me out straight up for dinner all on me and my buddy... It was straight up a Human to a Human interaction in Compton a Foreigner in Compton accidently... ( Like i said that was about almost 9 years ago , but im not forgetting that incident it'll stick with me for how Genuine and Welcoming this neighborhood was ). Respect 👍🏼
Thank you for showing us the reality of this neighborhood.
Love his videos...but particularly loved this one...Amazing work Peter...Amazing!!!
They were a bunch of really great guys!!!

Peter is a national treasure. Thank you for highlighting the love around this country. You're singlehandedly highlighting the lack of division in the world. DO NOT STOP!!!!
😂😂 what love? Dudes are killing each other constantly in Compton still.
Hey peter! You’re a treasure to humanity by showing the diverse culture of each places in the US. Thanks for giving us a tour. Shoutout from Philippines!
I wish I could speak more languages, so I could could share in your culture more too. Shoutout from Florida.
Absolutely love how you're able to connect with all cultures on a grounded human level. Everyone could learn a bit on how showing someone just a little respect will garner the same in return. Amazing! Keep up the great effort you put forth while exposing the world to many diverse lifestyles. Hopefully enabling some who otherwise wouldn't speak to open up conversation with others outside of their own race, religion etc.. communication and respect is the key to beginning to bring the world's people together
That sounds very globalist and liberal minded, don’t bring your weird “we’re all one” garbage into it just enjoy the video.
@@andrewjackson6763 only globalist in the way that I'd prefer to see everyone be able to communicate.. you obviously don't understand the definition of that term.. don't bring politics into an unpolitical statement. It's a statement of togetherness, period.. politically you'd be surprised where I stand and I'd easily crush you in a debate, but I'll leave you to bring down the comment section karen.. it was a compliment and a statement of positivity period.. leave your oral diarrhea in the bathroom where it belongs.
@@andrewjackson6763 We're all one Garbage? You sound like a miserable person. His Comment was amazing. He has 70 thumbs up on it so far. I'll come back in a month to see if you even have one (your own won't count) and laugh at your ignorance and hatred.
@@andrewjackson6763 None of what he said was globalist or liberal. It was about humanity, peace and understanding, which you obviously lack and seem to despise.
@@andrewjackson6763 Also, I think what this person described with their comment is exactly what Peter Santanello is going for and is trying to help us see that we're all one in the same no matter our differences we all have more in common then we may realize.
first time finding your videos today and it gives someone from England a proper insight into different areas, cultures, community from the US. v interesting and very well put together. ill be watching more for sure. better than most documentaries you see on these places. more authentic and raw. fair play.
peter, thank you so much for giving this REAL JOURNALISM on the hood!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Man this feels like home. My hood used to be exactly like this when i was younger but now it ain't the same . Almost everyone and everything is gone. They tore a lot of buildings down, a lot moved away and some died. The community and the connection is gone.. miss it more than anything. This video reminded me so much of the old days, thank you for that man
Same, i'm from North Philly, can't lie it was always a rough spot, but we still had a community, but once the fetty took over it turned into something unrecognizable. shit breaks my heart...
thank you Peter. I've traveled so much in the past 3 years without leaving my home thanks to you. Your content is solid and I really wish more people spend time learning about the different communities. You are breaking the fear barrier that people have, whether it's Pakistan or Compton, and helping us also break the ignorance barrier as well with videos on Muslims etc. Big hello from Ireland.
I think your problem, or perhaps a good thing, is not leaving your home: A Doordash lady driver, making a delivery to make some cash so she could support her husband and children, was shot and killed: Her fault-she pulled over her breaking car on side of the road at night in a "wrong neighborhood." Another lady Uber Driver was killed in another "wrong place" in another state. And these are just recently in the past few weeks, not counting many other app workers. These folks here are drinking alcohol, smoking weed on street in front of a camera and I am supposed to be impressed? I have seen many off the boat Africans, and met some, half even Muslims, who do not like African Americans because they feel these like dudes here are scourge and shame on Black people. *Their values are superb two universe apart.* They are trying to do something with their lives against all odds. What have our multi-generation African Brothers have done to better their lives in, supposedly, one of the greatest countries! Again, not bashing anybody,, many are awesome I have met, but prevalence of certain cultural mindset be known
@@mysteriousjz what you are describing here is typical in every society where there are disadvantaged people. With poverty comes poor behaviour usually and crime. African Americans have been disadvantaged in so many different ways for hundreds of years, and if you are born in that circle it's so hard to exit the cycle. judgement becomes clouded. The example you gave of other immigrants is different because many of them escaped a drastically worse situation, and when they come into the US they feel they are born again. Many African Americans are born in disadvantaged communities with a lot of challenges, believing everything is against them (which is true to a certain extent). Changing this mindset needs work from the inside and the outside. The outside needs to believe that those are fellow humans and that amongst them are good and bad like everyone else, and should believe that there is a duty to get closer to them and help them out of their cycle of failure. that's what Peter is trying to do. to open our eyes that it's NOT all bad. only when we get to know others we can feel comfortable helping them stand for their rights and struggle. You can't be scared looking at an African American, you should feel strength and determination to pull them out with manners and trust and good attitude. but this also requires work on the inside from them.
@@mzaher @mz You basically read my mind for the most part. I must add, in my daily business with unique customers, some of the best I have met are African Americans and Latinos. And I mean it, and I tell the tale to everybody whenever I can. Racism, by its core definition is evil. I rebuke those who come out and have bad things to say or refuse to serve those certain neighborhoods. That's wrong, painting everyone with the same brush. I STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, and I stand by and with them and others against any INJUSTICE in whatever shape or form, wherever it arises. I am the "outside" and feel for it and do my part as best I can. Speaking of "inside," and injustice, an Uber Driver in my city was shot in the head last summer. His fault-serving the community for little bucks, but in the "wrong place." Tough questions need to be asked, perhaps for better tomorrow. Peter never asks those questions, perhaps for his bottomline, or perhaps even for his own safety. But, I have never received response to my question. So, I ask- why did they have to die those nights and so brutally?
This what I love about cali so much. The unity, the food, the culture. People be so legit and once you in the circle you got countless more fam lol I love it.
Love your videos. Great exposure to even greater cultures and communities.
Wonderful video. These men speak the truth from the heart. Love the fact that petty disputes are settled on the "black mat" instead of weaponry. They all said it perfectly when they asked where BLM is now instead of when a shooting becomes a media circus. Excellent footage Peter !
“You do things for the community, the kids won’t grow up a certain way.”
Facts..
`Love this community. A good friend of mine is a HS school teacher in Compton. He loves his work and the community. Compton is misunderstood.
The very best. This kind of community is sweet, real, down. All these folks deserve praise.
Pease!
This guy gives more insight than any news article out there. Just rollin’ with guys from the community given the unfiltered perspective of what livin’ life in Compton is really like. Thanks Peter for showin’ us how they really rockin’
Hey Peter, I follow you and watch your documentaries, from France (my home country) and it's really positive to see this kind of content. Most of people in my country are still stuck in America's stereotype, and your videos are a pretty example that stereotype are false. So I put some respect on you, on your content and on the people you interviewed cuz you diffuse real peaceful and positive vibes through your content. I also love the way your videos are so real, and they help me, not being an american, to learn and understand more the connexion and the positive things inside this kind of communities (and through this amazing country). Respect and Love from France Peter. Hope to meet you maybe in Usa, or in France if you would to come (you are welcome here!)!!
I love yo positivity and humbleness Big Pete. Respect, Peace & Love brotha 💖💪🏽
I moved out of Compton about 4 years ago. I miss my city deep from my heart. I never stop dropping by my hood. I feel much safer in Compton than any other city.
Same here. Born and raised for 26 years, recently I Moved to Denver for 10 months & now in Orlando FL. I still haven’t seen a community as close and united as our Hub City.
Same here. I moved out in 19 and now live in the Cotswolds in England. This place more dangerous than Compton
Please go back. If you are what you portend then they need you if not others could benefit from your departure.
Y’all full of shit 😂😂 I pass by everyday. That shit ghetto asf! Lmao you only feel safe cause that was your comfort zone at one point.
That’s how home should make you feel fam !!!
Going out of state is hard for us to do,because we been in California our whole life … but change is also a good thing 🙏
Much Respect from South Central L.A
I am LOVING this past two episodes so much. I have learned a lot from most of your videos and I always enjoy them. It's fun to be introduced into different cultures and religions. Knowing we all are living so similarly to one another is comforting. Much love y'all
Agreed. I learned a. LOT.
It is so cool to see people from different background sharing a meal and joking together. Loved the video
We love your videos because it gives us a glimpse into communities that we normally don’t see.
I’m from Australia, it’s great mate what your doing. It’s really good to see a different perspective of what is portrayed in the media.
💯
I’m from east la, and got friends in Compton Long Beach and Wilmington, always have love for Compton, black and brown fuck with with each other heavy, nothing but love🤜🏽🤛🏿
Love this series and I love the chemistry between Peter and Cashmere. I hope he joins you again soon!
Cashmere is a star in the making!! He has such a positive attitude and greatness about himself being a child of God!!
A lot does not sound like 'gang ' culture a lot more re like community culture. Great video again, beautiful people opening up. Keep breaking stigma's 'Video OG'.
I am a 35 y/o white male. I worked as a registered nurse for a home health agency in south Louisiana for several years. During that time I would regularly go into “ bad” neighborhoods / projects to see patients. It was a very interesting experience, because everyone was very nice and respectful because I was caring for their family of course.
Not only because of what you were doing - blk ppl are kind people
@@I.AM.JUPITER I wouldn't wish any white person to be in black dominated school, send white boy to black dominated school and have recordings let's see how many black people are kind and how many are not
what we are not the uncivilised savages we are made out to be. so no we weren't nice and respectful because you was caring for our families wtf. your comment is low key rude.
people like you are problem we have in this country. Why call people's community "bad"? Why perpetuate a negative stereotype based on falsity and not n your experience? Even after having good experience with the people, you still end your comment by saying they were nice because you were caring for them. Why not just acknowledge your positive experience and not throw in your negative stereotype? It only shows the kind of person you are, a bad human.
this aint tinder :))
Peter I just found your videos and I really appreciate that you go into communities, meet with people in the neighborhoods, talk with people, show the culture, and show how it really is.
Much Respect Fellas… Let’s get along…..
Man I really dig this guys energy. Really cool perspective, even more cool your willingness to embrace cultures and people all alike. Inspiring for sure
I love it when they say to you Peter "yes sir"...complete respect!
Love this, thank you Peter & Natalia
Thanks again Peter ❤️
I’m happy things has change as we OG grew older and we realized after going thru a big round, it’s PEACE & HARMONY that’s make this place, planet n hood a great place to be. My love to all those once upon a time “ terrors”…. I’m glad you simmer down too. Signing off…. OG & Veterano from Asia ❤️
Peter just fits in so well with whomever he's interviewing 👌🏾
your right hahaha
Respect goes a long way
These videos are wholesome, I forgot about all the gang violence for a second and got myself mixed with the positivity that you guys shared in this video man, here you go! Earned yourself a subscriber man🔥
This was an incredible short documentary..amazing to see the community and love for each other.
This is a solid documentary. I like how he allowed these guys to talk so much about how the culture is in the hood and how tight the community really is there. I live in the suburbs now and I really miss the way things were in the old neighborhood growing up even though everyone was poor and we had a lot of problems I don't have to deal with today. Watching this did make me miss the community of it all
I love watching your visits to soooo many different cultures within our wonderful country and around the globe. What gives me hope and joy is how accepted you are when visiting .....approaching with genuine curiosity, friendliness and respect. ......and it's all given back to you. Love!!!
This culture is harmful to everyone involved
Peter, this video along with your others, ARE GREAT! You get such great people to interview and walk you around their neighborhoods. You ask the questions that alot of us want to ask.
You make the most interesting videos. I've been watching you for 3 hours today already. All of it is so well informed and entertaining.
I grew up in LA and love seeing the people getting along. It was very different when I lived there. I lost a good friend who lived in Compton back in 1987.
Respect to this video and the guys who welcomed Peter into their community.
dope group of OG's. Awesome examples for their communities.
Cooo000OOoo00Ooollll dude.
Bet they would be really swell to you (after they beat and rob you).
Og's? They stole Mexican Culture, and whites are brainwashed by them that they created this lifestyle, Ridiculous. They have no structure or respect
Blacks are paying $75.00 for section 8 something's wrong here, investigate the worker that approved this, they're probably black
I absolutely love the Titus films. Please do more of the two of you! Thank you for taking the time to make this. Beautiful
This is exactly what our world needs; more love. People are people are people.
Great video Peter! BK and Nook are some of the most honest and sincere people I've seen in your vids. I love that they come from a totally different walk of life than I do but have the same outlook that we can all get along as long as we don't listen to the narrative telling us we shouldn't. I wish all those guys the best in life.
Thanks Peter. Its nice to know that all the different cultures actually get along with each other. I understand that changes in prison where it's survival mode. I love the human and community aspects you show. Well done as always!
Reason your videos are so good is you’re so respectful always and don’t push any bias. You’re videos should be only thing show to masses
