I’m sure I’ll get some ruffle some feathers but I was born & raised in South Louisiana. Grew up poor, Single parent home with 3 kids. Mom worked 2-3 jobs. She had a 9th grade education. Always made just enough to not be able to receive any public assistance. 4 of us in a 2 bedroom run down trailer. I remember many nights eating a few slices of bread for supper & nothing to eat for breakfast. We wore second hand clothing. Kids always made fun of us at school. Mom was very tough on us to make good grades. I joined the military at 18 served 24 years active duty. While in the military after working a 12 hour shift, I attended college eventually earning a degree. After applying for a few times, I commissioned & rose to the rank if Lt.Cdr before retiring. Life was hard growing up, even harder serving in the Military & going to college but I did it. Being lazy is not an option. In America you really can be anything you want if you APPLY yourself & never give up.
Very admirable rise to better things for yourself. But if you think that ALL of these people living in these conditions are simply lazy and can ALL just as easily do what you did, you’re grossly mistaken and narrow-minded.
You don’t ruffle my feathers at all. My parents both grew up poor, but in NYC,mborn in the 1920’s and raised up through the Depression. My Dad and four siblings had both parents and a grandmother. My Mom and six siblings were raised by my grandma, a single mother before there was such a thing except for widows. Her husband ran off for greener pastures. She had a fifth grade education, but was an extremely intelligent woman possessing wisdom and common sense. Mom had to quit school at 15 to help support the family. Remember, there was no welfare in those days. She eventually finished high school at night, took a secretarial class and joined the WAVES. Dad finished high school early, at 16, worked driving a delivery truck for a wholesale fish market, then joined the Navy at 17. He served in WWII, Korea, and into the Cold War, doing nuclear research. That’s how he met Mom on leave in New Jersey. Mom later earned a degree as an accountant and Dad became a physicist. They raised nine of us in military housing, and later, in a three bedroom house. Everyone finished at least high school, five of us going on to college on our own dime. When we were home and in school, everyone did work at home and when old enough, also worked at some kind of money earning job. Our home and grounds were always neat and clean; same on the inside! Dad rose to the rank of Master Chief. Both he and Mama literally ran a tight ship. If you slacked off or misbehaved in school, we got our asses whooped! Everyone living under their roof was expected to be at morning and evening prayers and to attend Mass every Sunday and Holy Day. We went to Confession on Saturday afternoon or before early Mass on Sunday; it didn’t matter if we didn’t do any mortal sins! Six of us are still living. We lost both parents to old age this past year, Dad at age 96, and Mama at age 98. Hard times are once again upon us, and they’ll get much worse before getting better. Too bad for those of us who had opportunity to learn from my parents’ generation and didn’t avail themselves, the selfish Boomers, the “Me” generation, Gen X, millennials, Gen Z, etc. Those of us who took time to listen, learn, and put into practice pulling together, sacrifice, honoring God, and practical skills will be the glue that holds society together when the SHTF. All the online “influencers” and IT experts will be worthless when the grid goes down. Most folks definitely NEED their feathers ruffled!
I understand about being poor, I really do. Not having the money to buy paint or being able to fix broken things, but PLEASE pick up the trash! It don't cost anything. Sometimes we are feeling down and sad and don't feel like doing anything but getting up and moving around really does help.
@@colacozby also the people living in situations like this dont really respect or care what the surroundings look like, or else they would pick up the trash. things like this just dont change. we have all seen it our entire lives.
When their brains dopamine centers are broken, it creates a dysfunction in where they can't handle every day tasks and are constantly agitated unless they're using. Simple things like cleaning or taking showers or staying up to date with information like bank accounts, license, insurance bills etc... all gets put off. My family member this happened to them, 8 years still never able to even keep their license.
Our State get funds from the Government it’s our State officials who decides what the money is spent on and as you can see majority of it goes in their bank account
Unlimited money for Ukraine but a bunch of bickering when it comes to helping Americans. If this happened to any other country they would have been overthrown the government.
@Ernest Sabatino Our Country has never taken care of our Soldiers & Vets. It's disgusting. They should be treated with nothing but respect. I don't get it. I would have no problem with sending relief to other countries if our own people weren't suffering. Thank you for your service sir.😁
This was very hard to watch. I grew up poor, my father was not in the picture, my mother raised 4 children by herself, we lived in not so good neighborhoods, we moved about 3 times, but I can say that our home was always spotless, our yards were mowed, there was no trash left everywhere! There is absolutely no excuse for the laziness of some people, disrespecting their homes and neighborhoods!!
So dam true! Thank you! And I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth either! I too had to go out and make a living, So whats that got to do with TRASHING the neighborhood.????????? WHY?????? PICK YOUR NASTY TRASH UP FOLKS AND DO BETTER! I'M GETTING OPPRESSED JUST LOOKING AT THIS BUT, IT WILL NOT STOP ME FROM DOING THE RIGHT THING!😳
You gotta come back to the T. You missed so many other neighborhoods that are historical in Tallulah. You hit the westside. You gotta roll by starrlodge apartments and the fairgrounds to the east, and the compress on the south. Glad to see you put Tallulah on your channel ❤️💪💯 I love my lil city. Had to get out of there though. Frfr
I think some people do not realize when Walmarts starting coming into small towns they put a Lot of small business out . All of these towns, Talluelah, Delhi, Wisner, ( where i was raised) all had stores on every corner and people had jobs to go to there everyday but Sundays unless you were in the medical field , or in the police department. Things have changed too much too fast , for the small towns 😢 We don’t even have a grocery store anymore that’s past pathetic , imo. js peace and love everyone .
I drove along the bayou once, just passing through. I thought the town was one of the best looking small towns I had ever seen. That was a long time ago.
So, who should make this a much better place to live, the government or the people that live there? These neighborhoods could be places of beauty and pride. There really is no excuse to live like this.
How about both? The govt. should hire and train, if necessary, local people to repave the roads. Community residents should be given trash cans and made to pick up their litter for regular, free removal. Give out paint and supplies, and let people fix up their own places or tell the owners they have X amount of time to do it. Make it a law to maintain decent housing. Start a community board and have events and activities for families, kids, teens, seniors. Make it a place you can be proud of. Open a general store plus gas station. Start a volunteer fire dept. and emergency service if there is none. Nobody wants to drive 45 minutes to Walmart to get some gas, coffee, and a pack of smokes! Kids always like snacks and Coke. They could grow private or a community vegetable garden, like a food co-op. The entire town would be greatly improved by a small park with benches for the old folk, a pond with ducks, and a playground for little kids, basketball, skateboarding or biking for the teens and young adults, maybe a clubhouse for meetings, movies, activities for children and adults to learn crafts and skills. Just because you’re monetarily poor doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to live in a house that’s in good condition and looking inviting. In fact, it’s a right!
Born in Tallulah , Fairground Griffith Street. Moved to Cali when I was a youngsta. Love Tallulah it really was a thriving community in the 80s once the paper mill closed it all went bad. Looking at childhood pictures you had paved roads and manicure lawns. Still go back every summer a lot of my immediate family there on both sides. Love my roots and it T town forever.
@@big-un9425 Meant the Chicago Mill. Lumber yard. My grandad James Gilbert worked there. Most of the men In Tallulah worked there. A lot of the city revenue was a result of the lumber mill. When it went so did a lot of jobs.
@@SHAYDEE3 right on I'm from around Tallulah and repair papermills for a living and never knew of one but sorry for the economic loss to your family and the area
@@big-un9425 Yeah I was born in 77 lived there until 1990. It was a Great place to live. It was a community I would do something bad and before I got home my grandparents knew about it. All the elders would reprimand you about your behavior. Tallulah high vs. McCall Star lodge vs. Fairground football games. Every 4th of July the fire cracker wars we had. No killings only head up fights...
@@SHAYDEE3 when I was a kid in the 60s we would go to T-town and go to Delta Village as a kid it was awesome and later played football for Mangham we would play T-town every year La. Has grown
These are trap houses! What they don't show you in this video Is the beautiful thriving cities right outside of this! Believe me, majority of these people live comfortably! This is where they do their dirty work!
Back in the 1990's we made many a trip through Tallulah going to Arkansas! My grandmother spoke of it as if she were familiar with it ...it may have been more prominent at one time? She was from La Salle Parish ... but very familiar with Louisiana in general.
I grew up here. My father's family were among the founders of the parish in the early 1800's. When I lived here Tallulah was a thriving little town, many businesses, nice home with kept lawns; but when desegregation came in 1967, the white people (I'm white) were terrified of having their kids next to blacks in the classroom or having blacks play a prominent role in the community. So they built a private school and fled the town to live in the rural part of the parish or in their own enclaves on the west side of the bayou. My youngest brother and I left there when we started college and never came back. We have lived in urban and suburban areas since, ( except for an 11 month period when I was between marriages) and have become "citizens of the world" rather than just our little hometown, intermingling with many of other races and faiths. Before our mother died recently, we'd go back to visit regularly, but found we could barely carry on intelligent conversations with the whites who stayed there. We had nothing in common anymore. The town is dying and we have no reason to even think about returning.
your post is so bewildering. look at how the black people live there. your tone is as if the whites moving away to their own enclaves somehow caused the poverty in the black neighborhoods? and being proud of being a world citizen. no wonder your home town is dying when everyone left to go to college and never came back. not even sure what your point is. now you get to live in globohomo
You are right It's difficult to understand why some people dislike or discriminate against other people about the skin colour of human beings Afterall we all human beings, as well as animals are born to live and to die.And as King Solomon said about life " Vanity, vanity..all is vanity "
Well I am black and never will live around black people unless there is one family in the naborhood 😆. And would never drive through that dam state.the most ignorant people of all colors live there lol
Yes you surround yourself with intelligent people at school, for instance and you become successful and you can see and hear that they can't speak correctly after you finish school, it's amazing
I used to run a pest control route in Tallulah . I know every one of those streets. Some of the nicest people on my route where back in those neighborhoods. Most of them were older people.
Just because you are poor does not mean your house cant look clean. You don't need to be rich to cut your lawn and make your property area look beautiful. These people choose to live this way. You may not have a large home but it does not mean you can't make what you have look nice. And if each person in the neighborhood took price in their little domain the entire neighborhood would look nice jus alike any other wealthier neighborhood. It would then change the mindset and culture of the area and outlook in life.
unless you work so DAMN many hours just to survive that you ONLY SLEEP THERE. ONE PERSON ASKED ME IF I LIVED ...I SAID NO I LIVE AT MY JOB HELL I JUST SLEEP THERE. WHEN I'M FINALLY HOME A FREE DAY I WALK THROUGH EACH ROOM SAYING HELLO@
@@jkkic426 not very single person there works 2 jobs. Many don't even work because the live off the government but still don't take the time to take care of their home.
@@diegolara4202 And you're right. Like the ones I see on the street corner holding a sign. When you look across the street you see their nice vehicle parked. Oh yes, I parked and watched to see how they leave. They want your @$$ to work long hours and give them YOUR HARD EARNED $$. LIKE THE MAN WHO WAS BUSTED BY THE NEWS ANCHOR. BEGGING WITH SIGN ON STREET, THEN GO IN BATHROOM AT THE SERVICE STATION, CHANGE INTO SUIT, GET INTO MERCEDES BENZ, DRIVE TO HALF MILLION DOLLAR HOME. WHEN HE GOT OUT OF HIS CAR, THEY ASKED HIM IF HE FELT GUILTY LYING TO THOSE PEOPLE LIKE HE WAS HOMELESS? HE SAID NO! WHERE ELSE COUKDVHEVMAKE THAT KIND OF MONEY A DAY AND LIVE HIS LIFESTYLE?😳 I THINK HE MADE LIKE $350-$400 A DAY. HE SAID HE DIDN'T PUT A GUN TO NOBODY AND MAKE THEM GIVE HIM MONEY.🤡
Most of the poor in the US live on some kind of government assistance and a lot of credit. I call it fake poor. Even though they're living in run down houses, they still got nice $20k + cars in the driveway. That's because credit is easy to get here. No one is truly poor in America, poverty is in the mind here. It's nothing compared to 3rd world countries with no safety net system.
@Mike V. at least they are giving it to American, a small portion anyways, they give billions and billions to other countries though, thats where a lot of your tax money is going, so Egypt can buy weapons and shitt
Just keep it clean bruh. And get rid of shit like old car you know you ain't gonna fix or use again. Just because you're poor don't mean you have to live with filth
We been telling people about developing a bartering system here like they did in the old days. Too bad everybody gotta measure their wealth with green.
My mother grew up here and lived right next to the bayou. After college she moved to Washington DC with her parents, where she met my father in 1955. All her friends are dead and buried.
Wow! Haven't seen or heard of this place in years and years! We have either old friends or distant relatives there! Gotta call my sister's and inquire exactly who is it that we know from this place!?! Wow!😂😁🙏❤️
Some of the homes look well-kept but surrounded by vacant lots and trash. Quite a few nice vehicles mixed in with junky ones. From the comments, I read that a paper mill closed, and with it went the jobs and the tax base. It's the same story in locations all over America. We need to bring jobs back to our country and stop sending them abroad.
u should came over here by starlodge and showd the apartments because ull see how it really is here .. but shout out to u homie , cause i been watching u for a min .. the street you were mainly on is where we lost a few of the brothers on to gun violence (east side of the city).. but how you here about the city ? u past by my house and my lil brother's house though .. the apartments around the 6 min mark is where all the shooting's at at the moment , they been having issues on the north side of the city .. so u were around here when i was shooting i see head to been around 3 pm fasho .. if u went up to the park , u woulda seen that we dont have a real park here and they dump trash here , our water is fucked up .. if you need info on the city , let mek now .. im in tuned with some people here (someone running for mayor) a few pastors , im a camera man , and also the city's gucci ( i produce the music here ) and do the graphics here ..
Dude house probably paid for. No rent. Ownership. Consumer ass American keeping up with the Joneses asses won't get it until inflation destroys their materialistic bougie asses.
Louisiana in the small towns can be fixed up if everyone in that community come together to make it beautiful again . It’s sad to see these small towns outside of New Orleans look like this.
Omg that pink house they need to do some serious cleaning of the yard dammm,and poverty is one thing but trashy is a whole nother thing a little bit of mowing clean up would help a lot .But it’s sad that some of these landlords rent shit holes for high dollar amounts ,and yes grant it you do have tenants that live trashy and ruin a rental property.And it don’t help when you live in an area that has low paying wages to where one can’t afford a new roof, or a new coat of paint 👉🏽America has become not the land of the free,but the land of the rich or poor middle class don’t exist anymore.
Lol... You clearly have energy been to Louisiana! You can spend all the money on the world fixing these roads up but because of the soil here and Louisiana being under sea level it doesn't matter how many times you fix these roads, they will NEVER stop deteriorating! Even the biggest cities here have major problems with the roads. It's just in the soil and that's the way it is
they say you can tell alot about a country by the way they treat the most vulnerable in society.......this looks pretty third worldish for the richest country in the world, smh
It's a town called Wilson I never had heard of that time before not even on the school map but this town look like it's worse than that I had to move there after I had got married after hurricane Katrina in 2000 5 but I moved at the beginning the middle of 2006 I mean they didn't even have on one gas station to church one of the church only open twice a month on a Sunday and you had to drive 30 minutes just to get to somewhere to eat that was too much for me coming out of New Orleans the city girl going to the country but I don't know and I wish I had a way I can just drive around and make videos like this probably when I get my car that's what I'm going to be doing when I don't have nothing else to do product like once a month thanks for sharing this video
Woww! This is nasty bad, with parts of it worse than Shreveport! Incidentally, I knew a young lady originally from NOLA named "Talula" way back in my college days... We hit it off one summer, but drifted apart, as young people often do... Last I heard she went back down to Louisiana, got married, and eventually had a family...
Wow.......what an eye opener.....!!! Hard to imagine scenes like this are still occurring as if we're living like a 3rd World country (when we're actually the richest economy on earth!!)
@@maameabena1458 , not all of them, but it has to be a group effort with all residents keeping the properties clean!! Also, pride in owning one's home is sometimes the key to maintaining it!!!
What you don't see is how teeny tiny these towns are and how right next to it is a thriving booming beautiful city! This is a choice, they are not forced!
I myself am from Louisiana. And no. There is lots of beauty in Louisiana. Most live much better than 3rd world countries. Some people choose to live the way that they do. Lots of people have choices. Don't be fooled.🤨🤨🤨❤️🇺🇸
Those so called 3rd world countries are better than what we are seeing here, unless what you see is what the biased western media shows you.Hard to belive this the USA land of the free and the brave as you call it.
@@sophieopiyo4906 1st of all I'm from Louisiana don't still reside there. But still have lots of relatives and friends there. And in other southern states as well. And I can tell you for a fact. That they are successful. And live very well. And besides Louisiana is a very large state. With multiple areas. Not saying that all are successful. However some of the people choose to live the way inwhich they do. And some are as not as successful as others. But for the most part government assistance is pretty good in America. For if it were not. Everyone would not be flooding the open borders of America. Seeking a better life. Are just full of greed and are perhaps are just dishonest about a better life.🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔✌️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm from Rapides Parish , Alexandria to be exact , One day i was on a warrant in Madison Parish , i drove through the town ( curious ) and the poverty humbled me , not that I'm not use to it , it was just worst than I was use to
@@2dxtreme1 same here. At least the town you are from has somewhat nice neighborhoods and not all of it is impoverished. It’s boring until community events are had, but for now it is what it is.
@@318DoubleE Absolutely , because of my jobs then and the job i currently have , i've traveled all over the county and i have yet to see a city without a hood .
Good morning, 1995 two had been sent over to 65th and Van Ness after my saved 1m. during 1993 from 1973 and while 1986 20 Million Dollars from Gibsland I had only 90 days it's on records from Coleman High School I trust Esther Ruth Kyle right now Happy Easter have a great year this Tyna Segundo 😘
The road to success, not to prediction, requires keeping one eye on today and the other ten years down the road constantly adjusting short and long term goals. I grew up in Vicksburg, MS, 22.4 miles from Tallulah, LA which clearly demonstrates geographical location means nothing to success. Patience, hard work and resilience are the three legs to the success stool. If one desires success and a productive life, get a mirror, look into it and make your choice. If you cannot live a good life in America, where can you?
Some people may not realize this but rural areas have abandoned farms and other signs ot decay. Sometime the owners of these farms die with no heirs and for some reasons the land stays unaquired and just decays. I was raised in the "then" dairy farm country(1970`s) of west central wisconsin and there are parts of that has never changed since then. Wilson township in eastern eau claire country wisconsin is a prime example of such🤔
It’s not. The white population moved away a long time ago and as a result this is what happened. But even before that happened the black and white neighborhoods were separated by train tracks. The whites lived on one side which was/is obviously nicer, and most poor blacks live on the side he’s showing. The side he’s showing the roads are horrible and has been severely under kept for years. The 2 of the 3 schools on that side became abandoned around 2007, I believe one elementary school still exists on that side of town. There are nicer homes and neighborhoods in Tallulah on the “white side”. The white people have migrated away, so now the black people with decent salaries live in the houses on the other side of the tracks or “white folks section” as it used to be called. There are no resources coming out of this town. Nothing but greed, and murders.
Usually stray car villages... which has its advantages like preying on small rodents and whatnot... but then there's that persistent cat shit smell lol
But yeah broke ass cars, mud, and the worst fkn roads in the universe. We should be able to have a tax write off for the new shocks, struts, cv joints we end up needing way prematurely
I dated a girl from up there. The area is terrible and dangerous. Recreation is dead. City government is dead. It's just a terrible place all around. Wildest thing was when some inmates had escaped the jail while I was there.
If you look in the hoods its piled with trash...you are how you live. My mom had no money but what she did have was a clean house & yard & Car when it was running.. She said the cheapest thing is soap & water...if you can't afford soap clean with water. But people rather live in filth...oh but they have a $800 cell phone..smoke cigarettes..drink...daily...even go to Starbucks... .thousands of dollars on rims for their cars that don't hardly work to begin with but oh the pretty rims. That's the difference...makes no matter how much money you have...its how you live...un filth or a clean run down place.
Really, this entire region of Louisiana and Mississippi has never recovered from the devastating 1927 flood. It’s one of the poorest areas of the entire nation. Heartbreaking poverty.
I'm trying to catch the next Flix Bus Company in Barstow CA it'll be closing soon I've been here yesterday from San Bernardino CA tbe same causes delayed of traveling I left Friday from LA Union Station
I was gunna say looks like Ukraine lol.....that's pathetic in America one of the richest states actually but like Iraq nothing is given back to anyone but those in government
One strong gust of wind would take out most of these homes. Wish I had the kinda money that would lift a neighborhood out of situations like this. Come on Oprah, help a neighbor out!
Sadly you could put many of these folks in a brand new home and it would look like this again in 6 months, only with nicer homes. There are folks who just live trashily.
All these celebs full of 💩 They could help but The govt wasting our time here. Why no homes are livable just shacks We pay for electricity and gas water why. They can fix nice stuff for them though 😠 America I don't know 😡
What angers me about our government? First of all, they took over 40 billion and sent it to a foreign country to get involved in a war. Perhaps to cover up some improper activities. Then they opened our borders to more people that are not citizens and they're taking care of them first. But we could be taking these communities that are going through tough times and build community gardens that people could work on and help feed their families. That land is not currently being used for anything. Can we please put the USA first? If you would invest just a little bit of money to help build community gardens and maybe build some small businesses, maybe people would be able to get some of the hope back and clean up their community? Just a thought
Louisiana gotta do better.. period …starting with the crime, streets and communities .. like fr…I had to move bt miss my city only been gone few months
Greedy Politicians period!!! Lotta money and jobs in oil n gas chemical plants but it's not put back into the state....my lady is from Louisiana and I been there but no way I'd ever live there.....

So dam true! Thank you! And I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth either! I too had to go out and make a living, So whats that got to do with TRASHING the neighborhood.????????? WHY?????? PICK YOUR NASTY TRASH UP FOLKS AND DO BETTER! I'M GETTING OPPRESSED JUST LOOKING AT THIS BUT, IT WILL NOT STOP ME FROM DOING THE RIGHT THING!😳
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that feels like this!!! I've always said you don't have to look or smell like your situation 🙏
Agreed !
You gotta come back to the T. You missed so many other neighborhoods that are historical in Tallulah. You hit the westside. You gotta roll by starrlodge apartments and the fairgrounds to the east, and the compress on the south. Glad to see you put Tallulah on your channel ❤️💪💯 I love my lil city. Had to get out of there though. Frfr
This is my hometown. Time brought on a change. Wasn't always this bad. Wish it was more cleaner. 😪 . This was a beautiful town at one time.
Delhi is the same way. You and I both know why
I think some people do not realize when Walmarts starting coming into small towns they put a Lot of small business out . All of these towns, Talluelah, Delhi, Wisner, ( where i was raised) all had stores on every corner and people had jobs to go to there everyday but Sundays unless you were in the medical field , or in the police department. Things have changed too much too fast , for the small towns 😢 We don’t even have a grocery store anymore that’s past pathetic , imo. js peace and love everyone .
I drove along the bayou once, just passing through. I thought the town was one of the best looking small towns I had ever seen. That was a long time ago.
@@buckfoejiden62True statement indeed! 😊
Exactly no big fancy house is need to have it looking nice just take pride in where you live
So, who should make this a much better place to live, the government or the people that live there? These neighborhoods could be places of beauty and pride. There really is no excuse to live like this.
The people that live there should be responsible. I agree it’s no excuse.
Just working together & caring for each other, could turn a rubbish heap into a paradise to live in.
How about both? The govt. should hire and train, if necessary, local people to repave the roads. Community residents should be given trash cans and made to pick up their litter for regular, free removal. Give out paint and supplies, and let people fix up their own places or tell the owners they have X amount of time to do it. Make it a law to maintain decent housing. Start a community board and have events and activities for families, kids, teens, seniors. Make it a place you can be proud of. Open a general store plus gas station. Start a volunteer fire dept. and emergency service if there is none. Nobody wants to drive 45 minutes to Walmart to get some gas, coffee, and a pack of smokes! Kids always like snacks and Coke. They could grow private or a community vegetable garden, like a food co-op. The entire town would be greatly improved by a small park with benches for the old folk, a pond with ducks, and a playground for little kids, basketball, skateboarding or biking for the teens and young adults, maybe a clubhouse for meetings, movies, activities for children and adults to learn crafts and skills. Just because you’re monetarily poor doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to live in a house that’s in good condition and looking inviting. In fact, it’s a right!

I grew up in a raggedy house, but it was clean and the yard was very well maintained.
Born in Tallulah , Fairground Griffith Street. Moved to Cali when I was a youngsta. Love Tallulah it really was a thriving community in the 80s once the paper mill closed it all went bad. Looking at childhood pictures you had paved roads and manicure lawns. Still go back every summer a lot of my immediate family there on both sides. Love my roots and it T town forever.
What papermill was in Tallulah
@@big-un9425 Meant the Chicago Mill. Lumber yard. My grandad James Gilbert worked there. Most of the men In Tallulah worked there. A lot of the city revenue was a result of the lumber mill. When it went so did a lot of jobs.

These are trap houses! What they don't show you in this video Is the beautiful thriving cities right outside of this! Believe me, majority of these people live comfortably! This is where they do their dirty work!
Back in the 1990's we made many a trip through Tallulah going to Arkansas! My grandmother spoke of it as if she were familiar with it ...it may have been more prominent at one time? She was from La Salle Parish ... but very familiar with Louisiana in general.
Not everyone can have a lot of money but everyone can be clean and neat so they should get started!!!!
I grew up here. My father's family were among the founders of the parish in the early 1800's. When I lived here Tallulah was a thriving little town, many businesses, nice home with kept lawns; but when desegregation came in 1967, the white people (I'm white) were terrified of having their kids next to blacks in the classroom or having blacks play a prominent role in the community. So they built a private school and fled the town to live in the rural part of the parish or in their own enclaves on the west side of the bayou. My youngest brother and I left there when we started college and never came back. We have lived in urban and suburban areas since, ( except for an 11 month period when I was between marriages)
and have become "citizens of the world" rather than just our little hometown, intermingling with many of other races and faiths. Before our mother died recently, we'd go back to visit regularly, but found we could barely carry on intelligent conversations with the whites who stayed there. We had nothing in common anymore. The town is dying and we have no reason to even think about returning.
your post is so bewildering. look at how the black people live there. your tone is as if the whites moving away to their own enclaves somehow caused the poverty in the black neighborhoods? and being proud of being a world citizen. no wonder your home town is dying when everyone left to go to college and never came back. not even sure what your point is. now you get to live in globohomo
You are right It's difficult to understand why some people dislike or discriminate against other people about the skin colour of human beings Afterall we all human beings, as well as animals are born to live and to die.And as King Solomon said about life " Vanity, vanity..all is vanity "
That whole region is dying
Well I am black and never will live around black people unless there is one family in the naborhood 😆. And would never drive through that dam state.the most ignorant people of all colors live there lol
Yes you surround yourself with intelligent people at school, for instance and you become successful and you can see and hear that they can't speak correctly after you finish school, it's amazing

Just because you are poor does not mean your house cant look clean. You don't need to be rich to cut your lawn and make your property area look beautiful. These people choose to live this way. You may not have a large home but it does not mean you can't make what you have look nice.
And if each person in the neighborhood took price in their little domain the entire neighborhood would look nice jus alike any other wealthier neighborhood. It would then change the mindset and culture of the area and outlook in life.
No pride, no hope. 😟

One thing about Texas/Louisiana is that they both have ditches on the sides of the street.

Same thing with Houston/Southeast Texas, with heavy flooding it causes a hurricane.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the United States is amazing if you have money. Most of it is 3rd world though!
Most of the poor in the US live on some kind of government assistance and a lot of credit. I call it fake poor. Even though they're living in run down houses, they still got nice $20k + cars in the driveway. That's because credit is easy to get here. No one is truly poor in America, poverty is in the mind here. It's nothing compared to 3rd world countries with no safety net system.

Some of the homes look well-kept but surrounded by vacant lots and trash. Quite a few nice vehicles mixed in with junky ones. From the comments, I read that a paper mill closed, and with it went the jobs and the tax base. It's the same story in locations all over America. We need to bring jobs back to our country and stop sending them abroad.

The road to success, not to prediction, requires keeping one eye on today and the other ten years down the road constantly adjusting short and long term goals. I grew up in Vicksburg, MS, 22.4 miles from Tallulah, LA which clearly demonstrates geographical location means nothing to success. Patience, hard work and resilience are the three legs to the success stool. If one desires success and a productive life, get a mirror, look into it and make your choice. If you cannot live a good life in America, where can you?

Some people may not realize this but rural areas have abandoned farms and other signs ot decay. Sometime the owners of these farms die with no heirs and for some reasons the land stays unaquired and just decays.

@@jdubbdorsey1680 No, I'm not. If you look up the history of towns like this, you would know that they hold histories of sharecropping.
It’s not. The white population moved away a long time ago and as a result this is what happened. But even before that happened the black and white neighborhoods were separated by train tracks. The whites lived on one side which was/is obviously nicer, and most poor blacks live on the side he’s showing. The side he’s showing the roads are horrible and has been severely under kept for years. The 2 of the 3 schools on that side became abandoned around 2007, I believe one elementary school still exists on that side of town. There are nicer homes and neighborhoods in Tallulah on the “white side”. The white people have migrated away, so now the black people with decent salaries live in the houses on the other side of the tracks or “white folks section” as it used to be called. There are no resources coming out of this town. Nothing but greed, and murders.

But we could be taking these communities that are going through tough times and build community gardens that people could work on and help feed their families. That land is not currently being used for anything. Can we please put the USA first?
