I was born in California but moved to the south in the late 90's (Atlanta, Georgia). The poverty in the south is very bad compared to other parts of the nation. It's truly a sad thing.
Sam Wallace Skid Row is safe compared to trenches in the South and Midwest, shit even the east coast has plenty of fucked up areas but the west coast is very nice compared to the rest of America. The worst neighborhoods in Cali look better than best neighborhoods in a lot of other states.
I use to work at the Post Office in Selma. The busiest days were 1st - 5th of the Month. Churches Chicken stayed open 24 hours from 1st - 5th and had police directing traffic for the drive through. Winn Dixie would be slammed packed with young mothers buying several grocery carts full of food, using EBT cards and then had the elderly baggers, load it in new cars. Yeah, Selma is a shinning example of wonderfulness.
im 36 born & raised n the magic city!! i love Alabama but i moved out of the south when I was 19. Since then Ive lived & traveled all over the country. i have never seen anyplace, anywhere near the level of poverty thats in the deep south & it breaks my heart!
I live in Birmingham in the Vestavia suburb and these run down parts of town need to stop relying and demanding that the government fix their problems and do something about it themselves. The main problem is they don't care enough to do maintenance and basic upkeep on their communities and houses. They will just let them disintegrate and do nothing and then demand something else from the government. Hardly any of them work and they feel entitled to a house, utilities, cash money, food, cell phones and internet, and everything else free from the government. I'm talking about blacks and whites. You can't help people who just don't care and are not willing to put the work in.
@@youngmichigan231313 *eastside* all of the south is really bad. you guys just have 1 side. the gun violence in. the south is super high compared to anywhere else. born and raised in Alabama the poverty compared to when I go visit Detroit is no comparison
@@lindipearson9633 Vestavia being a majority white suburb is what the poor black folk want. They are too stupid to work so they hold their hands out. And when that fails the riots begin.
Oh I'm sure they can find worst then this in Alabama it's just who is willing to talk an be filmed.. Some folks are too embarrassed to be on camera but it's sad either way
I miss it so much had to move but its getting so bad i feel like I have to move my dad out here to Vegas with me thats some shit you shouldn’t have to think about at 18
All you people ASSuming these people dont want to work...has it ever crossed your mind that there may not be any decent living wage jobs available?? Use your brain
Mz Chae Chae I live in Alabama all my life, and I can tell you there is nothing in Selma as for jobs. it's poor old farm country! but expecting hand outs won't change anything either. so leave , because no one in their right mind would invest money there!
It's not my aunt lives there Selma needs more jobs I love it there I would love to move there if it were jobs it's so peaceful depends on where you are there......
I live in selma there are a lot of jobs here but they have to pull people from other cities that are qualified. Over 5000 people commute from bigger cities everyday to work in Selma. Not including the thousands of people in Selma that actually have jobs in Selma. East Selma is just a bad part of Selma! Rest of city looks nothing like this.
If you go to Selma and spend enough time there it becomes obvious why things are like this....just look at who's running this place...you'll get your answer quick
This is sad they living in poverty fr I was there yesterday for Bloody Sunday I feel so sorry for them these people are strong they are very friendly and keep a smile on their faces 🙏🙏🙏Praying for their City
So, John McWilliams wants a change in Selma, Alabama? Well he can start by picking up his trash! Do you see what he does at 1:08, throwing that piece of wood over the fence? That 'hood is full of dead trees and scrap wood, he could buy an oil drum and use it to make charcoal, with all that free wood and fuel. Those old auto tires in that yard could fuel the kiln. Then you have all the abandoned houses in the area, empty and falling down. They could be stripped of wood and used to build chicken coops. Then you have all this empty land everywhere, why aren't they plowing it and growing their own food?
I spent my childhood in Selma. It went to hell when Craig Air Force base closed. I escaped in 88 when I joined the Army. Jobs are few and far between. I’m white and 55 now The only jobs at the time was The Candy factory, Cigar plant, piliods, and the lawn mower factory. We. Had to chain the hoods down on our cars so the battery wouldn’t get stolen and sold at the scrap yard.
They've got to be kidding. The houses are decaying and they're complaining about it? It's their home, it's nobody else's responsibility to maintain it. Anybody who's worked in the building trades knows that a collapsed foundation can't be fixed.
ALL the old black men I knew as a child,built something,did woodwork.DO we think Thomas Jefferson built: his home,his smoke houses,barns,HIMSELF?We have lost/forgotten the trade.WHEN your fence,fell down we rebuilt it,put up a new roof, made furniture ,did brick work etc.
Crazy thing is most of these ppl dont even see what we see . They see nothin wrong with this. It take the kids joinin the military or somethin and leavin a couple years and comin back before they realize how they used to live
So typical of everyone in SELMA. I live here and we need the youth to see and put into the community an energy. No one gives a fat rat's behind. Everyone wants something for nothing. We NEED TO WORK TOGETHER and it will change. But until then, this decay and mold grows more and more. It takes a community that cares, not an outside government that does not care. We need to take care of ourselves and the community, working together. But what the hell do I know...
Thank you! I live in Birmingham but have family from Camden and I feel the same way you do. This didn't happen overnight. It took decades and Decades of them not doing maintenance or working to keep their communities nice. They need to take responsibility for their actions or lack of them
Yes we a struggling for a change from the city council to the mayor they're the reason why our town is suffering they aren't doing anything to bring life to our city they don't care about the people here far as im concerned we're stuck in the past the past has ruled this city for years and its not getting any better
hahaha this is just amazing... well how about you go to school and get an education... also unskilled labor does not require an education... you don't need a degree to serve food. It is the laziness and wants for free things that hold people in this poverty. This is liberal and socialist propaganda.
My folks come from Selma ...It should be a african American museum there ,so much history there ... .why a museum?? Because it would bring revenue all it takes is a major land mark ..I wish I had it I'd spend it all .. .Birmingham, al checking in mane.. .free Larry Hoover..
The community needs to fix it's self. Go find jobs even if you have to move out of the city. Put the down the guns and apply for financial aid for school. Make your community what you want your community to be. Just sitting around and watching the bad going on around you without doing anything about it will make your community worse and make you feel worse about the community. The blessedly Martin Luther King Jr didn't sit around and complain what was wrong with civil rights he went out and made that change. They need to do the same. Best wishes to them.
@@goodevening7870 was watching this video in Popeyes chicken in slema Alabama moments ago and read this comment. Then no exaggeration 5 min later a man approached me while I'm eating lunch to beg for money. This man was no doubt on some substance. Had maybe 10 teeth and was impaired. Drugs are a problem. Education is a problem. And their politicians are a problem. Oh and the restaurant I was at had a plywood board over the door from where someone had recently broken in... They claim they want change yet elect the same people year after year with empty promises.
It's interesting that they are taking no personal responsibility for their circumstances. They want someone to come in and fix their houses or give them new houses and clean up their neighborhoods and make everything shiny and new again. However, they have saved no money for repairs on their houses, nor have they done the basic maintenance needed for homes to stay in good shape. The same goes for their neighborhoods and everything else. It is their responsibility to fix their situation and not anyone else's. Why have they not been saving any money or why don't they get groups together to work as a team to better their situation and neighborhood. And just because no one seems to want to work these days and no one wants to save any money. They want to spend it as soon as they get it and demand that someone else give them the entitlements that they feel they deserve. It's disgusting these situations did not happen overnight. They happened over decades and Decades of not working or giving back into the community.
Lindi Pearson ....um my point is you should stay in Camden and stop worrying about Selma when you have no idea what’s going on ..I made this comments months ago you could of replied then boomer✌🏽
The living conditions observed in this video are appalling….. Why are the peoples taxes not spread out across the board more to combat these societies of of our own that have not been given the values of justice needed to get rid of the corrupt, the convicts, the narcissists and historic past violence and poverty. I advocate in a universal language of the world … that all needs to send support to this Community and many like it on our planet, for unconditional love and understanding of all that is, bringing peace to this region and all others💜💜💜💜
“We need a change real bad”. But,then they expect govt. or somebody else to come in and make it better. It’s up to the citizens to make that change. Sure a little outside help is good but you can’t expect anybody to change where you live but you. I worked in Selma building schools for around 10 years. We’d build a nice new school. Then we’d come back for repairs or whatever a short time later and they’re destroyed. Nobody came in from the outside and destroyed their schools. The people in Selma did.
You are full of crap & don’t know the 1st thing about development. You first have to have an economic base in which the natural resources are controlled by the residents…….whats the economic base in Selma? These residents don’t own appreciating assets with which to use as collateral. European immigrants were granted 1/4 billion acres & the tools & education to farm it in the homestead act for just showing up & being white. Black people didn’t get squat after 250 years of stolen labor & prevented from education. The 1st has had a 100 yrs + to build generational wealth while the later has not & probably still living just yards away from the plantation from whence they came. Go sit down & read a book. Start with the Color of Money & then the Color of Law. My parents literally ESCAPED a sharecropping system and the terrorism of that area to the west. My siblings & I are all Drs lawyers & engineers. Mindset my foot! We were lucky to get out, others weren’t as fortunate.
If the leaders could start bringing in jobs to Selma and surrounding areas there wouldn't be such a sore eye of poverty. If I was the leader I would start new with Selma there is no reason for people to live in these kinds of conditions
Why haven’t these citizens of the USA Ben helped through there taxed government appointed society fixes devision been in touch with these individuals to teach them how to pain there homes, restore there homes, and general maintenance of there property to sustain its value and there living quarters.? These are common sense human values that need to be implemented for our societies life sustaining balance and respect for every individual life.
The only way is a change in attitude stop blaming others and go to work stop the drugs and start cleaning up cleanup time is long over due. Stop I cant it"s to hard it"s so easy for hem or her ...It"so easy for them because they work there ass off they don"t stop and get drunk party every time they get the chance.Look it is harder for some than with others but if u keep trying do not give up...
id call the health department but they dont regulate rental properties or restaurants in alabama so yall watch eating there they might literally be putting their foot in it.
Habitat for Humanity tries to work with people who are willing to help themselves and these people are not. I live in Birmingham but family is originally from Camden/Selma area. Everyone there is on government entitlements and thinks that they have no responsibilities in their own lives and that the government owes them everything from housing to food and spending money and everything else in between
I was just saying they need to make jobs by demolishing the rotten buildings and houses there. I went to Selma a few weeks ago and was blown by how jacked up the streets are downtown. It's a dam shame
The main battle is between capitalists and workers. In order to end racism, misery racial segregation, unemployment we must destroy capitalism and the Bourgeoisie.
That was funny. I mean the way your video start out with that little speech from the White House Goblin. Did that help anybody? Did anyone get anything out of that? Better make sure Trump stays in the White House, kick those Democrats out of your town, out of your state.
