Bwuan should be in sales somewhere…he might have it in his mind that he can’t do this and that because of his background but people love when someone is charismatic, chatty and genuine. You can feel this guy has a big heart
I live in LA and have had a few random encounters with gang members, surprisingly every one of them positive. One time two of them helped me change my flat tire at night in a dark parking lot. They could've easily mugged me with little effort, but instead helped me, shook my hand, and went on their way 👍
Okay? Their source of income is still stealing and hurting innocent people. It doesn't really mean anything that you you were lucky enough to meet the scum while they were in a good mood.
Spoken, exhaled human verbalisation (words) are just labels that we use to associate external experiences, to then internalise in our brains. Humanity has no label, morals are innate to each individual. Someone who leads with humble innate morals/beliefs, will create a ‘hive mind’ conscious. The hive mind mentality is then shared amongst other members, in or out groups - psychologically. You can be labelled a gang member but maintain certain morals/beliefs/codes that match of someone of another social class.
As a journalist for 20 years, you are doing naturally what we try to teach newcomers - with little success a lot of times - to tell the story, do not be the story. When you did not dance and did not participate in the game, you kept us focusing on the story instead of focusing on you while you were telling it with your brilliant questions. This is genius on so many levels. Great job, Peter.
The best part of this video, and all of your videos for that matter, is that you don't guide the conversations to an agenda. You always let the setting and the people represent themselves. Quality work!
I'm not forcing this but I have the most important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in. We all are sinners and we must get punished for all of our sins by spending eternity in hell, but God sent Christ, his only Son to take the penalty for all of our sins instead by dying on the cross to save us from going to hell and so we can have eternal life with Christ and God in his kingdom. On the third day after Christ died, Christ rose back from the dead. Christ ascended to heaven and he will come back for his chosen ones and take them to heaven. God bless you and have a good day😁
I hit the stock market big a few months ago, and I'm fairly certain it was the main reason one of my closest friends suddenly pushed me away. Hardest lesson of the year so far.
@@Beangoeszoom yea I’ve had the same experience as well with money and those around me. After making a little bit I only got 2 messages from people congratulating me. 50 others (some that are close and not so close) acted like nothing happened and always looked at me funny. Then some had the nerve to say I changed or saying things like “oh he thinks he’s this or that cuz he has money now” when really they were just jealous and saw my unchanged personality and every little thing that I did as suddenly being because of me wanting to show off (eating at a nice restaurant more often than before, getting a nice car) etc etc. the GOOD thing about success is it filters out the fakes. So, that friend of yours was always a phony; the money just brought it out. You should celebrate your departure

It's called editing. The point of these videos is to show positive things. He's not going to let you see him make really bad mistakes, as any human being doing this much is certainly doing.
@@chewychew8519 Better getting the cops called than being flashed a gun and told you don't belong around there like has happened to me in black areas. Fact is blacks do better when they are around White people than they do around other blacks. Quite honestly, every other race does better surrounded by Whites. That's why everyone wants to be in White counties. Not too many people breaking down the doors to get to Africa.
When I was kid, I really thought this shit was cool to me, hanging on the corner, doing dumb shit in the hood, now that I'm older and have a wife and daughter this shit is mind blowing, how this shit is normal to the black community where I grew up. I wish every black person could escape the experiment, aka the projects.
That Bwuan dude seems real down to earth and like he's got a good head on his shoulders. I checked out his music and hes actually pretty dope, hope to see him succeed!! Glad I came across this video.
pretty dope? The language comes from the ghetto how did you get it?' dope means good? Just because you talk like that I know you drink and I know you do drugs. That's pretty dope
@@jeffrenman4146 you are actually wrong. The word has changed meaning. To old people it meant drugs. To young people it means cool. Either way, youre still a douchebag though.
I think a cool series would be for Peter to take someone like Bwuan with him to experience a foreign country and hear his impressions on life and culture outside of not only the hood, but America.
Yeah it makes no point of documenting such videos and offer no help... He makes money through this videos so he should pay them for free content otherwise would look so selfish of him.
As a mom, of grown sons, I have to tell you that I couldn't love Bwuan more. He's working hard to make a life for himself. That's all any mom wants for her kids. You got this, Sir. 💜
Bwuan actually seems like a nice guy especially when taking about his mom and girl, hope he can find his way out of the streets, or at least live until a good age
He could make it out a lot easier if allocating money correctly The guy is wearing a $60k watch and Gucci Priorities Nonetheless, respect the guy and the hustle. Good episode.

I'm just so stoked to hear this young man speaking about the history of gangs. The new generation makes informed decisions. They, like many,are waiting on the world.
Yup, keep tellin' those stories, lionizing OGs like they're heroes and godfather idols in the eyes of young kids. These people are uneducated shi*t talkers. The new generation isn't making informed decisions. They'll wind up just like the idiots in this video. They are their own worst enemy. History? You know what they say about humans and history. This is proof positive, as if we needed more. Yawn.
@@woopazipper because your father was absent in your life, statistically you will suffer from poor impulse control, manipulative tendencies towards others, lack good judgment. I'm sorry, it is not cool to not have a father.
I appreciate these videos because you allow the world to see these communities for what they are instead of the narrative that's constantly spread on TV, social media, word of mouth, etc. Thank you for giving people who would usually be silenced, a voice.

This is so interesting. I've been jumping from the Amish series to the Hasidic videos to the East NY videos and now this, all of their one big message is very similar if not the same. Respect each other, Live life the way that makes you happy (bc life is too short/precious) and build community/ family bonds. So different from what is generally communicated in mainstream media which is fear, paranoia and distrust from one another. We all might live different lives but we are not as different as we think.
Message is the same because that's the only way people can prosper in communities with little mobility - but the Hasids and Amish are already living the message.
It was like that in DC too. DC was the murder capital 6 out of the 10 years in the 90s. MFs was killing like crazy. Everybody locked up, dead or reformed with wife n kids now
Peter...I don't know how you find the people who open the doors to let you into their lives but whatever you're doing, please keep it up and stay safe. If you could, I would love to see you take us behind the scenes to give us some insight on how you make these connections. Much respect to you and what you're doing to enlighten the world to the real stories that are our lives!
I was born in December 1982 in Long Beach,CA. My Father's family moved to L.A. from New Orleans in 1971, and my Mom's Family moved from San Antonio to L.A. in 1976. I've been to South Central Twice, first in 1988 and '89 then again in 2007. In 1988, my late Aunt stayed off of 56th and Normandy, I saw it as its lowest point during that time. The Boys and Girls Club Centers were WORSE. I saw a nigga get jacked over $80 by like 12 Crips, and saw Mexican Gangs slinging Kilos. But in 2007 when I went to meet my Father in person, it was a different story. My Uncle took me to a Bus Stop area in South Central/West Los Angeles close to the mansion where MJ died in 2009 to wait for my Father to show up, and I was told "Crips and Pirus won't mess with you if you just look normal and casual". I saw Dozens drive by heckling each other with signs thinking I was going see a throwdown, it never happened. It was more of a "Representing" Battle with each other. I don't feel any hostility towards Crips and Bloods anymore. These NEWER Generations seem to be more levelminded and understanding to each other. Hell, in 1994, the Set that got into a fight with Dooky from Boyz In The Hood, the ABC Bloodz RESENTED Bloodshed and TURNED in and snitched on one of their own after he killed Dooky, Dooky's friend and Paralyzed his GF. They beat him down and DISOWNED him for the killing.
Don't get it twisted...Ton from hoodvlogs got him connected here. He's been doing these videos in LA hoods for years. He's the one who laid the groundwork for series like this.
Peter really makes me glad I subscribe to him. Peter you've earned every subscription and like and deserve so much more for bringing this content to everyone you're a better journalist than anything I've seen since I've been born.
The stigma is crazy, but seeing the actual individuals, being mostly trying to have a positive attitude and trying to be good, it's good to see it out there for people to see
@@skweejee Typical white response..You whites love Police because theu treat yall good.They dont treat us the same way..But of course something tells me you just dont like Black people anyway..
@@knos360 No I dont like black peepol, you're right about that. Ever thoght there might be a reason why I dont like black peepol? Ever thought there might be a reason cops treat Whites better than violent blacks? I know you guys have low IQ but do your best to imagine. Believe it not people dont dislike you because your skin, they dislike you bc the way you act
really thankful for videos like this. Both those young men were well spoken and aware of their circumstances and really helped shed a light on WHY the problems continue in their neighborhoods. It stinks to know that a lot of these dudes really do know better but becasue of their circumstances and environment they dont have much choice to do anything else. I wish we could give more opportunities to more people like this.
Same! The system literally can’t afford to have that happen, though; it would significantly empty jail and prison cells, leaving the many who profit off them being full broke. The system has to keep that pipeline open. And a lot of these “activists,“ as some Compton residents said in another video of Peter’s, don’t really help matters in any purposeful sense; only going to those areas to protest when a police officer kills someone.
I'm not forcing this but I have the most important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in.

Do you really think we can't provide these men with opportunity? We put people on the moon & have machines that can be controlled be reading the state of your brain waves & we got all the free money & equipment in the world to fight wars for rich people or bail out their companies..... Capitalism as a system prioritizes opportunity for investors, if you have capital people bring you their ideas so all projects afforded development only in service of established power. The lack of opportunity is by design because desperate people are exploitable. This will continue till we either actually become civilized or we will kill ourselves off and this have played out within the next 100 years.
Yep they need to be prepared and showcase their businesses when these documentary guys come through not just speaking about their opps and all this thats just my opinion, but tbh the West is organized and they do help their communities already
As a 50 something white bloke from south london, I find these young men’s situations so stressful, confusing and frustrating, i can’t imagine having to live feeling like I’d have to defend myself from violence everyday, it must be so exhausting. Really feel for them.
@@SnailHatan 'Regardless of race' ? No, it's not a thing in White countries Go to an ACTUALLY white country such as Czech Republic or Poland and you will find the violence and crime rate to be very low even in the few poor urban areas. It might not have much to do with race per se, but simply the culture (or perhaps the lack of it) of blacks, gypsies, arabs etc. (third worlders in general)
Bwaun's speech at @13:00 was very moving to say the least. Sounds like a genuinely good person. Such a positive individual not to mention a successful hood entrepreneur. Bwaun deserves everything he has. Hopefully he starts making BIG bucks on the clothing and take it to the next level.
That’s all that was going through my head... even with the clothing and the logo, it’s actually so small but so smart. Hope he makes it out of the hood and lives long.
Everyone has a story no matter who or where they’re from. It’s good to see you focus on your own country and highlight all the diversity there is from one state to the next as well as from one city to the next. From London, UK
Bizz was a real one - he's so down to earth and willing to share his info and knowledge, even though it probably wasn't safe for him to do so. Mad respect for how humble he was without any of the gang bravado.
I remember living in that area. It is not safe for some of the people living there. You do have potential growth for the kids growing up there because they have seen their parents struggle and/or know how dangerous it is to live there. So thank you sharing this side of LA 🙏🏽
If you're a young person and lived in that area, you should know that it's dangerous because these clowns walk around trying to be something they not.... These foos are def not real OGs... I'm from Boyle Heights... Skinny Jean gangstas 😂 doing an interview... Rofl 🤣
@@l.s.a1990 "these clowns walk around trying to be something they not" Haha that is how it looks like. If you're into anything illegal you definitely don't do interviews.
"a lot of us got pain, a lot of us had no guidance..." That broke my heart. Alot of those young men have great perspective and you just hope and pray they can get out. Peter, you deserve so much credit for all you do. i watch your channel everyday when im at work on break. so educating, so fascinating, you have put yourself in danger...and you tell it all so well. Thank you!
Peter is an incredible and compassionate man that is trying to learn about the disenfranchised people and giving them a voice. This man needs his own show!!!
Ppl like you deserve way more attention, which brings attention to guys like this and their life stories. Ngl i wont survive there, cant bring myself to fight for life or death everyday but i guess you just have to get used to it, there is no other option.. mad respect for you Peter, you do a MUCH BETTER job than any other "reporter". Sub is out
I grew up in a working class neighborhood that was surrounded on 3 sides by low income housing. One thing I learned is that these kind of neighborhoods create bad circumstances, not bad people. Your videos back up this statement, keep up the great work! Side note, thought of the old Eddie Murphy movie "Trading Places" while posting this, going to have to watch it again!
Thank you so much for the subtitles! As a German, I have a very hard time to understand this strong slang, that's why I normally never watch those videos. But yours I can watch, so thanks again! Great work!
"Money don't change you, money change the people around you." Damn I can't imagine how difficult it must be to constantly watch your back. These guys are smart, they deserve better. 🤝
It’s so hard to hear him talk about his mom passing, these men are like boys with so much love in their hearts. And looking for the right direction to grow in the streets.
Thank you for presenting these young men in a positive light. What people see on the news dehumanizes young black men. For those that never been to the hood, negative images is all they have. You’re doing good work!
Genuine question- what positives do you think there are? I think of a brotherhood and a family for kids who don’t have anybody else. You look like a white dude in your pic so I’m curious to know what you think
@@adrianthroughtime exactly, seeing the same car twice in a short time span is a perceived threat, parked cars down the block with people in them is a perceived threat….a mental note is made of all cars that pass by and anybody walking down the street.
I had a job that took me into these areas a few years ago and it was very interesting and I met some great people. I had the chance to go into a lot of homes and see how people really live and I see that there's so many different perspectives that we live our lives through and there is no one answer to everything or everyone. I do feel sorry for folks that don't know what's outside of these neighborhoods, because the world is full of experiences and the more you get outside your own comfort zone, the more it opens up. Going into these neighborhoods gave me experience in life that I treasure to this day.
Beezy seems like a wicked intelligent man. He broke down the complex inter-workings of the hood into very simple terms. For people like me who didn't have any previous knowledge before watching this video, I really appreciated his input. I hope Beezy doesn't let his intelligence go to waste, he has so much potential.
I live in an estate in Northern Ireland, and i'm always so offended that people judge it straight off the bat via what they've heard or seen in media, without actually knowing anything about it or the people who live in it. It shocks me how much people feel they can judge without knowing. So I love watching someone enter an area perceived as 'all bad' and take a genuine interest in the people who actually live there and the positives as well as negatives. It's important to hear from the people who live it rather than seeing it filtered through multiple media sources. One thing I will always say about low income areas is that the sense of community here (and in any other low income area i've been in) is unmatched. I always want to leave my home place but living here I feel safer than I would anywhere else. Weird as that might sound. Here I know I have 100 Grannys, Mums, Aunts, Dads, Neighbours and friends who would drop everything to help me or anyone else in need. Our kids are so protected and our elderly are respected. I don't think anyone gives enough credit to that side of things when they talk about us low income folk. All people want to do is draw attention to gangs, drugs, single mums, whatever else frightens people these days lol.
@Riorozen kinda sounds like you know nothing about low income areas 🤣 you also don't know where I'm from, you don't know where my estate is, you don't know what it's like here. You just jump on and think you know best. I didnt choose to be born here and brought up here. Nor did anyone else. We're poor lol
Praying these brothas make it out. Seem like they have some good heads on their shoulders. And I the first guy needs to drop a website. I’ll support his clothing line!
They need to get the community right. Every gang member knows how gangs started and yet they kill eachother over petty shit. If people would get along and work with eachother you could make a beautiful community. Many cool characters over there and they got that nice weather , palm trees etc. It just makes no sense in my mind to be killing eachother over basically nothing.
I work at a county jail, and it's actually easy to get along with a lot of these guys once they're off the streets. It's a sad thing. A lot has to do with environment, a lot has to do with their own choices, but the shitty thing is knowing they could be super successful if they put their energy into something different. Then again, a lot don't have the opportunity to do much different. It just sucks.
These dudes seem like really genuine people. The media portrays people in this area to all be heartless gangbanging thugs. I bet if given the opportunity, they would do really well and be able to get out of there.
They can always move, if Syrians refugees with no money, can move on foot from Syria to Germany, so can these people, and all they have to do is move to a different state or county.
The one thing every hood has in common with every person you come across “I’m a rapper” these guys need better opportunities instead of a million or more ppl trying to make it big at the same time in a industry that takes in very few .
They could go to community college and better themselves but they don't. Standing on the corner hustling and rapping is way easier. I missed the part where you mentioned "personal responsibility".
" you can never control how stuff starts, but you can control how it ends"...that equals life ladies and gents....what a genius that man is...thank you!!!!
Amazing video. I thank you deeply for capturing this young man's words and ideas - and the perspective of someone who has grown up on the reservation and has ancestral knowledge passed down by his people. I truly believe that many of the native peoples have lost their way, and it's very very sad.
“That is what I love about life: you cant control how things start but you can always control how it ends!” Buwan ❤️ I just wish everyone could live in peace and confortable… and that the hate will vanish. There is too much hate in the world… hate for no reason.
This certainly was an eye opener for me. Everyone you talked to was so cool! I honestly thought it was a totally different place than it is. When the grown man said that he doesn't feel safe anywhere, the mother in me felt heart broken for him. They're good people just trying to get by. And not in the best circumstances. Much love to all of them. ✌🏻❤️
That is why supporting the content creators you love is SOOO important. YT is robbing them of their channels and their way to make a living giving way to mainstream news which was not on YT 5 years ago.
@@rozsheehy6146 yeah roz one thing i learned. If your a white guy or girl in one of these neighborhoods your instantly a mark. We have veiled ourselves too tje reality that race crime only goes one way that is totally not true.
When he said "Money don't change you, it change the people around you", I got the most chills out of the whole video. It's such a true statement and something I've dealt with before, but not at all to the extent they deal with in this video.
To Peter: being that this is your channel, I've been watching since just recently. I want to extend a sincere thank you. Your videos and footage are just amazing and the things that you have to share with us at the end are of incredible insight. Your channel shows viewers a very rare peek into areas that we normally don't see, know or may not even understand. So, again, thank you sincerely!
Bwuan and Beezy both were fantastic in this. They really did a great job of explaining the situation and their positive outlook and smarts really shone through.
This just randomly showed up in the algorithm, but was just such a genuine and different portrayal of it all. Both those dudes you talked to were really thoughtful in their answers to everything, really sweet video and I enjoyed it. Awesome work.
@@ClebyHerris So if you're talking about LA and things like that go to 24th in Vermont that's one place you don't want to go to Aguirre and Tia born and raised there I know how it is I got it out there in the late seventies because it was going to get dangerous so I know all this stuff you don't know what you're doing good but it's 24th in Vermont go to there that's the wax though
This was like an aperitif to a banquet I will never truly experience. For that, I thank you, Peter. For the people that live there, my heart is with your heart ♥️
Peter…I’m a new subscriber and I really appreciate the straight questioning, no BS videos. You let these people talk and express what they want the world to know as they want people to know it. The mainstream media needs to be on your channel taking notes!!!!!
This is such a unique video. He's walking around saying hello to everyone in the neighbourhood. Clearly he's a part of the community, not some gang guy who wants to hurt people. But it makes me wonder what about the kids who get recruited into gangs and who die with drugs, guns and violence. If there has to be a solution, I guess it would have to start by making a connection with the community including people like this young man in the video. Great video Peter, really gave me a different perspective.
One more thing I would do is get out of the neighborhood, with every respect to everyone living there, I would go as far as possible from gangs, shootings, and people not minding their own business.
You’re more professional than the main stream media, I am a new subscriber and I love your channel real raw ,in your face, punch in the gut Type Journalism keep it up man you’ll be next in line for an award!😊🇺🇸💯
Bro in the blue tracksuit was dropping real facts hope he gets out of the hood and don't stay until it's too late he could be doing a lot more he seems very Intelligent
22:07 was the most real philosophical and truest sh!t I've ever heard. "You'll never know whose loyal to you until you're at your worst and at your best". Very wise words and observation, young man.
It's pretty interesting how different these guys are when compared to the Bronx series Peter did. I left Cali about two years ago and can tell you that it's insane out there because these crazy little kids running the streets with no respect for anybody. Seems like in NY they have a lot more elders out there trying to hold them down and steer them a different direction, but there's a few things that are consistent: no fathers in the homes, single mothers raising sons to react on nothing but emotion, and the first inclination is to shoot someone instead of talking it out or fighting with your fists.
Haven't watched the Bronx episode, but have gone through half of the Brooklyn one. I got the feeling that the elders performing parental/guiding duties were largely missing in Brooklyn (evidently not in the Bronx). The most striking difference to me was the story-telling by the hood folks. Beezy in particular conveyed his story and thoughts rather clearly (slang aside) and the inter-personal complexities he described (money, entitlement) were eye-opening. The folks from the Brooklyn episode ... well, it was plain verbal diarrhea; I had to stop half-way through and got no meaningful information.
You got to be pretty fucking stupid to pretend that the reason for those problems are because single mothers are "raising songs to react on nothing but emotion." Where the fuck did you even pull that shit out of your ass?
@@cosmojetz2000 Instead of just wholesale inventing shit, you should instead look at the actual studies, research, and lived experiences of those people. It's a far better way of understanding why places like that turn out the way they do, instead of armchair theorizing with your amateur hour pseudoscientific psychology bullshit.
@@pierretheron8686 Not sure which of my statements you're referring to (elders, money, or diarrhea). The first two are paraphrased from the video contents and in both cases presented by the folks themselves. The third (verbal diarrhea) is a plain observation. Your choice of language isn't far off.
@@pierretheron8686 damn someone woke up on the wrong side of the cave, neanderthal out here getting all pissy over people's opinions that are based in science and study. Having no dad in the household does often lead to dysfunctional children.
Peter, your keen intuition is a breath of fresh air. Your way of highlighting the uniqueness of the individual which may buried within the layers of their community is top shelf investigative journalism. Keep it apolitical....keep it coming.
The more videos I watch on your channel the more I start to understand the people in these areas. Seems mostly good people in a rough environment. They want to be heard.

The best part of this video, and all of your videos for that matter, is that you don't guide the conversations to an agenda. You always let the setting and the people represent themselves. Quality work!
That's my goal for you guys so thanks for seeing that Richie! And feel free to call me out if I ever slip on this front.
I'm not forcing this but I have the most important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in. We all are sinners and we must get punished for all of our sins by spending eternity in hell, but God sent Christ, his only Son to take the penalty for all of our sins instead by dying on the cross to save us from going to hell and so we can have eternal life with Christ and God in his kingdom. On the third day after Christ died, Christ rose back from the dead. Christ ascended to heaven and he will come back for his chosen ones and take them to heaven. God bless you and have a good day😁

*”Money doesn’t change you, it changes the people around you”* 💯
I hit the stock market big a few months ago, and I'm fairly certain it was the main reason one of my closest friends suddenly pushed me away. Hardest lesson of the year so far.
@@Beangoeszoom yea I’ve had the same experience as well with money and those around me. After making a little bit I only got 2 messages from people congratulating me. 50 others (some that are close and not so close) acted like nothing happened and always looked at me funny. Then some had the nerve to say I changed or saying things like “oh he thinks he’s this or that cuz he has money now” when really they were just jealous and saw my unchanged personality and every little thing that I did as suddenly being because of me wanting to show off (eating at a nice restaurant more often than before, getting a nice car) etc etc. the GOOD thing about success is it filters out the fakes. So, that friend of yours was always a phony; the money just brought it out. You should celebrate your departure
Money don't change people, money expose them.

That's why everyone wants to be in White counties. Not too many people breaking down the doors to get to Africa.

This is so interesting. I've been jumping from the Amish series to the Hasidic videos to the East NY videos and now this, all of their one big message is very similar if not the same. Respect each other, Live life the way that makes you happy (bc life is too short/precious) and build community/ family bonds. So different from what is generally communicated in mainstream media which is fear, paranoia and distrust from one another. We all might live different lives but we are not as different as we think.
@@JustMe-po5sf my man maybe read what he's saying and try to stop living with so much anger gosh lighten up bro

Hi Peter, I'm consistently impressed by how you carry yourself and the positive way people respond to you. Excellent work!
Compared to the late 80’s and early and mid 90’s, these neighborhoods are friendly now.
L.A. was a war zone in the 80s and 90s
Yeah. Now go to the south side of Chicago and that would be more comparable to LA of that era.
That’s true
Black brothers still ride on each other though
It was like that in DC too. DC was the murder capital 6 out of the 10 years in the 90s. MFs was killing like crazy. Everybody locked up, dead or reformed with wife n kids now
Peter...I don't know how you find the people who open the doors to let you into their lives but whatever you're doing, please keep it up and stay safe. If you could, I would love to see you take us behind the scenes to give us some insight on how you make these connections. Much respect to you and what you're doing to enlighten the world to the real stories that are our lives!
I think they find him (as in reach out to him).
I was born in December 1982 in Long Beach,CA. My Father's family moved to L.A. from New Orleans in 1971, and my Mom's Family moved from San Antonio to L.A. in 1976. I've been to South Central Twice, first in 1988 and '89 then again in 2007.
In 1988, my late Aunt stayed off of 56th and Normandy, I saw it as its lowest point during that time. The Boys and Girls Club Centers were WORSE. I saw a nigga get jacked over $80 by like 12 Crips, and saw Mexican Gangs slinging Kilos.
But in 2007 when I went to meet my Father in person, it was a different story. My Uncle took me to a Bus Stop area in South Central/West Los Angeles close to the mansion where MJ died in 2009 to wait for my Father to show up, and I was told "Crips and Pirus won't mess with you if you just look normal and casual". I saw Dozens drive by heckling each other with signs thinking I was going see a throwdown, it never happened. It was more of a "Representing" Battle with each other.
I don't feel any hostility towards Crips and Bloods anymore. These NEWER Generations seem to be more levelminded and understanding to each other. Hell, in 1994, the Set that got into a fight with Dooky from Boyz In The Hood, the ABC Bloodz RESENTED Bloodshed and TURNED in and snitched on one of their own after he killed Dooky, Dooky's friend and Paralyzed his GF. They beat him down and DISOWNED him for the killing.
It would be hard at the beginning, but now that he's a big youtuber, they reach out to him
Don't get it twisted...Ton from hoodvlogs got him connected here. He's been doing these videos in LA hoods for years. He's the one who laid the groundwork for series like this.
Peter really makes me glad I subscribe to him. Peter you've earned every subscription and like and deserve so much more for bringing this content to everyone you're a better journalist than anything I've seen since I've been born.

@@skweejee yea as if cops dont provoke people to retaliate because they love harassing people on the street. people hate cops for a reason.

This is where the healing begins…
Convos like this need to happen more often.
really thankful for videos like this. Both those young men were well spoken and aware of their circumstances and really helped shed a light on WHY the problems continue in their neighborhoods. It stinks to know that a lot of these dudes really do know better but becasue of their circumstances and environment they dont have much choice to do anything else. I wish we could give more opportunities to more people like this.
Same!
The system literally can’t afford to have that happen, though; it would significantly empty jail and prison cells, leaving the many who profit off them being full broke. The system has to keep that pipeline open.
And a lot of these “activists,“ as some Compton residents said in another video of Peter’s, don’t really help matters in any purposeful sense; only going to those areas to protest when a police officer kills someone.
I'm not forcing this but I have the most important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in.

Move along, people; move along. Please refrain from feeding the racists and trolls.
They has choice but they wanna be like from 17th century.
Do you really think we can't provide these men with opportunity?
We put people on the moon & have machines that can be controlled be reading the state of your brain waves & we got all the free money & equipment in the world to fight wars for rich people or bail out their companies..... Capitalism as a system prioritizes opportunity for investors, if you have capital people bring you their ideas so all projects afforded development only in service of established power.
The lack of opportunity is by design because desperate people are exploitable.
This will continue till we either actually become civilized or we will kill ourselves off and this have played out within the next 100 years.

@@SnailHatan 'Regardless of race' ? No, it's not a thing in White countries
Go to an ACTUALLY white country such as Czech Republic or Poland and you will find the violence and crime rate to be very low even in the few poor urban areas.
It might not have much to do with race per se, but simply the culture (or perhaps the lack of it) of blacks, gypsies, arabs etc. (third worlders in general)

I had a job that took me into these areas a few years ago and it was very interesting and I met some great people. I had the chance to go into a lot of homes and see how people really live and I see that there's so many different perspectives that we live our lives through and there is no one answer to everything or everyone. I do feel sorry for folks that don't know what's outside of these neighborhoods, because the world is full of experiences and the more you get outside your own comfort zone, the more it opens up.

I live in an estate in Northern Ireland, and i'm always so offended that people judge it straight off the bat via what they've heard or seen in media, without actually knowing anything about it or the people who live in it. It shocks me how much people feel they can judge without knowing. So I love watching someone enter an area perceived as 'all bad' and take a genuine interest in the people who actually live there and the positives as well as negatives. It's important to hear from the people who live it rather than seeing it filtered through multiple media sources.
One thing I will always say about low income areas is that the sense of community here (and in any other low income area i've been in) is unmatched. I always want to leave my home place but living here I feel safer than I would anywhere else. Weird as that might sound. Here I know I have 100 Grannys, Mums, Aunts, Dads, Neighbours and friends who would drop everything to help me or anyone else in need. Our kids are so protected and our elderly are respected. I don't think anyone gives enough credit to that side of things when they talk about us low income folk.

@@vitosantoli1868 I'd still sell it...Real fam would understand....
I work at a county jail, and it's actually easy to get along with a lot of these guys once they're off the streets. It's a sad thing. A lot has to do with environment, a lot has to do with their own choices, but the shitty thing is knowing they could be super successful if they put their energy into something different. Then again, a lot don't have the opportunity to do much different. It just sucks.
Exactly right they have to cut loose all their negative friends and everyone who is not going forward
Punk
Damn, no kidding...
Corey That's a good nuanced take on situations like this, brother. A real deeply felt comment- nice to hear.👍
the biggest problem is segregation.
These dudes seem like really genuine people. The media portrays people in this area to all be heartless gangbanging thugs. I bet if given the opportunity, they would do really well and be able to get out of there.
Bwaun was on point with his words of street knowledge wisdom. Ton got his eyes on point period. Watchdog.
Hey Peter, I like your videos but I wished you had talked to some of the older folks also to get their perspective.
I agree. the young ones only have a certain viewpoint. a Lost one.
Old heads strung out or scared or dead or pen
Talking to the old generation is not good the young adults have a different view
These guys have to look over their shoulders so much. The latent stress in their lives must be tremendous.
Agree must an unhealthy life to be alert all the time ready to run and hide from the bullets.
They can always move, if Syrians refugees with no money, can move on foot from Syria to Germany, so can these people, and all they have to do is move to a different state or county.
Ya but no TPS reports to worry about.
They are sandwiches
@ThatOneDude 6969 Most Sudanese refugees are still internally displaced within Sudan. And people do make it out the hood and gang life all the time.
You can never control how stuff starts, but you can control how it ends... that is so simple yet so poignant
The one thing every hood has in common with every person you come across “I’m a rapper” these guys need better opportunities instead of a million or more ppl trying to make it big at the same time in a industry that takes in very few .
Well Bwuan has a clothing business which is legit and hes a good salesman
@@EvaLasta sure. selling masks to rob and Murder. Great product. everyone needs one of those. lol
They need fathers
@@kali-spy6046 Ahaha. Everything they do is for negativity.
They could go to community college and better themselves but they don't. Standing on the corner hustling and rapping is way easier. I missed the part where you mentioned "personal responsibility".
Nice job. You give us a side of the story we never ever get to see. I love it. Some really interesting people out there.
definitely, love this channel
" you can never control how stuff starts, but you can control how it ends"...that equals life ladies and gents....what a genius that man is...thank you!!!!
Why? How does that make sense? The only way of controlling how your life ends is if you kill yourself. Stop being so easily impressed.
@Austin Pass you can control parts of it. Definitely not the end. Unless you kill yourself, of course.
Amazing video. I thank you deeply for capturing this young man's words and ideas - and the perspective of someone who has grown up on the reservation and has ancestral knowledge passed down by his people. I truly believe that many of the native peoples have lost their way, and it's very very sad.
“That is what I love about life: you cant control how things start but you can always control how it ends!” Buwan ❤️
I just wish everyone could live in peace and confortable… and that the hate will vanish. There is too much hate in the world… hate for no reason.
You have same subscription preferences!!!!
You are right.... Hating all fo no reason....
Yes exactly. Self responsibility and accountability. Unfortunately, Democrats disagree with you...
ok bish 🤷♂️
@@AladdinBinLaden ok cuck allahoooo.
This certainly was an eye opener for me. Everyone you talked to was so cool! I honestly thought it was a totally different place than it is.
When the grown man said that he doesn't feel safe anywhere, the mother in me felt heart broken for him. They're good people just trying to get by. And not in the best circumstances.
Much love to all of them. ✌🏻❤️
That is why supporting the content creators you love is SOOO important. YT is robbing them of their channels and their way to make a living giving way to mainstream news which was not on YT 5 years ago.
You getting tje wool pulled over your eyes here. Go there on your own without a camera and see how nice it is.
@@capcrunch7838
You know what? You're right, I'd be too scared to.
@@rozsheehy6146 yeah roz one thing i learned. If your a white guy or girl in one of these neighborhoods your instantly a mark. We have veiled ourselves too tje reality that race crime only goes one way that is totally not true.
@@capcrunch7838
I totally agree with you. ✌🏼 Especially about the race thing. There's been a wall between us and I wish it wasn't so.
When he said "Money don't change you, it change the people around you", I got the most chills out of the whole video.
It's such a true statement and something I've dealt with before, but not at all to the extent they deal with in this video.
I Really Hope that Ice Cube runs for Governor in 2024. CALIFORNIA Needs him. #O'Shea Jackson For Cal 2024.
To Peter: being that this is your channel, I've been watching since just recently. I want to extend a sincere thank you. Your videos and footage are just amazing and the things that you have to share with us at the end are of incredible insight. Your channel shows viewers a very rare peek into areas that we normally don't see, know or may not even understand. So, again, thank you sincerely!
Bwuan and Beezy both were fantastic in this. They really did a great job of explaining the situation and their positive outlook and smarts really shone through.
Bwuan is really a big inspiration. you should link his merch for people like me who are interested in buying💯
This just randomly showed up in the algorithm, but was just such a genuine and different portrayal of it all. Both those dudes you talked to were really thoughtful in their answers to everything, really sweet video and I enjoyed it. Awesome work.
You know what randomly showed up? HORSES WHY DO THEY HAVE HORSES
@@ClebyHerris So if you're talking about LA and things like that go to 24th in Vermont that's one place you don't want to go to Aguirre and Tia born and raised there I know how it is I got it out there in the late seventies because it was going to get dangerous so I know all this stuff you don't know what you're doing good but it's 24th in Vermont go to there that's the wax though
"Money don't change you, money change the peopel around you"
That was so accurate
This was like an aperitif to a banquet I will never truly experience. For that, I thank you, Peter. For the people that live there, my heart is with your heart ♥️
Peter…I’m a new subscriber and I really appreciate the straight questioning, no BS videos. You let these people talk and express what they want the world to know as they want people to know it. The mainstream media needs to be on your channel taking notes!!!!!
Bwuan could go anywhere and do anything with his life. He has the IT factor! 💜💜
Peter, your videos are absolutely UNMATCHED.
“You never control how stuff starts, but you control how it ends.” Very true sometimes.
The second guy with the blue outfit seems so chill and nice, it's hard to imagine him as a jail bait.
This just goes to show the people living in these slums are in fact actual human beings and a lot of times not bad people.
@@wolveman22 Nope just in bad situations sometimes. Cant choose what your born into. Can try to change it though
@@GoodUsedGoods 💯💯
That's really cool that you linked up with Hood Vlogs for this one
This is such a unique video. He's walking around saying hello to everyone in the neighbourhood. Clearly he's a part of the community, not some gang guy who wants to hurt people. But it makes me wonder what about the kids who get recruited into gangs and who die with drugs, guns and violence. If there has to be a solution, I guess it would have to start by making a connection with the community including people like this young man in the video.
Great video Peter, really gave me a different perspective.
I like his message..bro inspired me to do better, be better, and most importantly be myself and not care about what ppl think fr
One more thing I would do is get out of the neighborhood, with every respect to everyone living there, I would go as far as possible from gangs, shootings, and people not minding their own business.
You’re more professional than the main stream media, I am a new subscriber and I love your channel real raw ,in your face, punch in the gut Type Journalism keep it up man you’ll be next in line for an award!😊🇺🇸💯
Sounds about white.
@@TheRealOfficialWiseOwlI see you like that "sounds about white "mcomment i see u used it a couple times if it works for you great
Exactly better then CNN crappie definitely 😆
@@TheRealOfficialWiseOwl sounds a little liberal socialist freaks
Bro in the blue tracksuit was dropping real facts hope he gets out of the hood and don't stay until it's too late he could be doing a lot more he seems very Intelligent
22:07 was the most real philosophical and truest sh!t I've ever heard. "You'll never know whose loyal to you until you're at your worst and at your best". Very wise words and observation, young man.
It's pretty interesting how different these guys are when compared to the Bronx series Peter did. I left Cali about two years ago and can tell you that it's insane out there because these crazy little kids running the streets with no respect for anybody. Seems like in NY they have a lot more elders out there trying to hold them down and steer them a different direction, but there's a few things that are consistent: no fathers in the homes, single mothers raising sons to react on nothing but emotion, and the first inclination is to shoot someone instead of talking it out or fighting with your fists.
Haven't watched the Bronx episode, but have gone through half of the Brooklyn one. I got the feeling that the elders performing parental/guiding duties were largely missing in Brooklyn (evidently not in the Bronx).
The most striking difference to me was the story-telling by the hood folks. Beezy in particular conveyed his story and thoughts rather clearly (slang aside) and the inter-personal complexities he described (money, entitlement) were eye-opening. The folks from the Brooklyn episode ... well, it was plain verbal diarrhea; I had to stop half-way through and got no meaningful information.
You got to be pretty fucking stupid to pretend that the reason for those problems are because single mothers are "raising songs to react on nothing but emotion."
Where the fuck did you even pull that shit out of your ass?
@@cosmojetz2000 Instead of just wholesale inventing shit, you should instead look at the actual studies, research, and lived experiences of those people. It's a far better way of understanding why places like that turn out the way they do, instead of armchair theorizing with your amateur hour pseudoscientific psychology bullshit.
@@pierretheron8686 Not sure which of my statements you're referring to (elders, money, or diarrhea). The first two are paraphrased from the video contents and in both cases presented by the folks themselves. The third (verbal diarrhea) is a plain observation. Your choice of language isn't far off.
@@pierretheron8686 damn someone woke up on the wrong side of the cave, neanderthal out here getting all pissy over people's opinions that are based in science and study. Having no dad in the household does often lead to dysfunctional children.
It takes SERIOUS guts to straight up talk to actual Bloods and Crip members in person. But it is nice to see that not all of them are so bad.
Peter, your keen intuition is a breath of fresh air. Your way of highlighting the uniqueness of the individual which may buried within the layers of their community is top shelf investigative journalism. Keep it apolitical....keep it coming.
The more videos I watch on your channel the more I start to understand the people in these areas. Seems mostly good people in a rough environment. They want to be heard.
