Washington D.C. - Clash of Rich & Poor 🇺🇸
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- Washington, D.C., the nerve center of American power, has some of the richest and poorest people in the country living right next to each other. It's a city deeply divided on class lines. Join me and D.C. locals to better understand what this complex and fascinating place is like.

BIG LOVE BROTHER. WELCOME TO AFRICA ILL BE YOUR FREE TOUR GUIDE. ILL TELL YOU THE BEAUTIFUL STORY OF KENYA B4 INDEPENDENCE AND AFTER INDEPENDENCE
thank you & your amazing wife for all the videos 👉🏻💪🫶🏻
At the end of an empire, the money that would be spent on the citizens must be spent on the protection of the empire. The multiple overseas wars happening now are sucking up money. The amount of federal employees does nothing for the GDP. Romney lost his election bid because during his time he wanted to take away government assistance. You that, at that time, 51% of americans needed federal assistance. To many weak dumb people in our society. To may people grew up in the educational system that left know child behind. How do you have the best citizens when the teachers union lobbied congress to make their jobs easier? I have paid attention to my world since 10 years old, since the first desert storm and where I found my role model, general Colon Powell.
We are taught from out very childhood to make a name in the world, to become famous, well-known, successful, a prime minister or a president, a Nobel prize winner - but somebody special, somebody. Every child is poisoned with the idea of being somebody, and the reality is we are all nobodies. And the reality is tremendously beautiful! Just being nobody brings such joy and ecstasy that one cannot even imagine it. Fame brings nothing. It is a very stupid game, very childish and immature.
My definition of real achievement is that which cannot be taken away by death. Anything that can be taken away by death is not a real achievement but only a pseudo achievement, toys to play with.
Become a nobody from this moment and enjoy the freedom that it brings. Become anonymous and see the joy! There is no worry, no anxiety. Because there is no ego you don't feel hurt. Nothing can hurt you. Somebody can insult you and you can stand there watching and enjoying it because there is nobody inside you to feel hurt, there is nobody to be wounded. You can enjoy and laugh.
The day a man can enjoy and laugh while he is being insulted he has already attained something, he has become part of eternity. He has entered into the world of the immortals.
Osho
Hey Peter! Love the authentic style of journalism you present to the world. I was thinking, if you have not done Cleveland Mississippi before that would be a place to highlight. They literally still had school segregation( east side high for black/cleveland high for white)until their 2016 prom. Would be nice to see an update as to how it’s been since then.
Hey Peter!
This D.C story needs to be done again, with a true D.C person. ❤
Agree. He made a really bad choice in this tour guide. Guide seems like a huge grifter.
Same thing I said💯
Yup what I said!! This guy just wanted to be on Peter’s RUclips!!
Exactly this kid isn’t even American he knows nothing about DC this is so BAD
I think he sounds credible..
Bro looked scared to talk to the locals, this video needs a real local lol
I’m happy that I wasn’t alone in noticing this!
Lived in the DMV my whole life. You need a DC native for this tour. This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Right I said the samething
Facts. He's a transplant and doesn't know s**t. Been here my whole life. There needs to be a better vetting process.
23 years in DC, I also agree he doesn't really know what he's going on about. Georgetown and Alexandria existed before the district was created. "The French guy" didn't "design it to keep the metro station out " or whatever that nonsense claim was.
30 years born and raise
Dude not even wearing NB Grey's
You right
I've lived near and worked in DC 40+ years. Your "guide" doesnt know squat.
Yeah I don't understand why he didn't get with a true DC native. It wouldn't of been hard whatsoever.
I’ve lived in DC since 1965, live in PG County now and have spent a lot of time in Anacostia. Anacostia is a dangerous food desert that is very hard to get out of. Education and good jobs (e.g. government) are ways that people have moved up in this area. I think having a guide that’s not blind from living here for a long time gives a perspective that locals can’t see. Democrats are happy as long supporting the poor as long as they vote for them and stay in their neighborhoods. Try putting low income housing in an affluent DC neighborhood - NIMBY activists will fight hard against it but donate to programs to keep the poor in SE DC.
Agreed!
As someone who has worked countless hours in the city, On the streets, night and day. Peter, your host DOES NOT KNOW DC
THIS 1000%!!!!!!!!!!
Truth
They are Probably only saying the good things lol and not the bad stuff
There’s a lot of edits.
@@guitarstalkandtech9085 Yeah and they need to be careful because their jobs are in a political environment call Washington, DC.
With all respect to Sagnik, he did not come to the US broke. He said he had a graduate degree from London and just did an AirBnb stay in Anacostia for 4 months before getting a yuppie job
Not representative of Anacostia struggle and DC culture.
But i appreciate his obvious love for the city.
Just wish someone who really lived it would have spoke on it.
I came from Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world, at the age of 19. Raised by a single mother who was herself struggling economically. I arrived in Washington, D.C., as a foreign student at the University of the District of Columbia, one of the historically black universities. To afford the international tuition, which was three times higher than the resident tuition, I worked tirelessly at Ben's Chili Bowl on U Street until I graduated with my bachelor's degree. Subsequently, I earned a scholarship for my master's and then for my PhD, which allowed me to travel the world.
I came to the United States with nothing, but now I have everything I could want. America is truly the land of opportunity. For those who cannot succeed here, it often comes down to a lack of ethics and ambition, which are deeply rooted in one's cultural background and the values instilled by parents from an early age. The greatest wealth in America lies in the values and drive that individuals possess. There is no excuse whatsoever!
He doesn't seem credible- re graduate degreee from London? Seriously doubt it
Yeah someone who has everything handed to him and paid for. Of course he has a big resume.
He posted here in the comments that he lives in NYC now, but loves to visit DC.
@@tanyahouston5635Found what he was looking for
I'm 68. I moved to DC in 1988. I watched the video till 6:18. This "guide" is talking out his a**. Have a good day.
I think thats the only part he got right
Was thinking the same thing
First video I didn’t finish because of the guide. Maybe there will be another Washington DC video
It was painful to watch…didn’t finish it either.
Yeah, I watched it until the last guy showed up.
That guy is totally a clout chaser
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Urban culture is straight up trash.
@@mapk4315 Wait, are you the guy from the video? Sorry if it's explained in the video, I just started watching it.
@@robh1961 Nepal is not India 🤦♂
works in media...
guy said there is no working class neighborhoods in London? Seriously? Zero credibility from that moment...
Yup...he has no idea what he's talking about.
I thought the same all working class are in Manchester or Liverpool what a stupid comment he has No idea
@@soniagallagher7087 Neither of those places are London, both of them are their own cities.
Does London proper, the actual city, have working class neighborhoods?
@@offensivearch the "city of london" is just a square mile with lots of banks and guilds and official buildings nobody really lives there.
I'm from Alexandria, VA, and I was taught about DC history and when Alexandria used to be part of DC. I have worked in DC and have friends in DC. This guy knows absolutely nothing about the district.
Damn I'm from DC and I didn't know that about va
Most of Dc was part of Md or Va…. Nothing new
@michaelf8541 va was apart of dc also
DC was originaly a ten by ten mile square which overlapped across the river. The incorporated City of Alexandria (a Scottish Rite dominated city) as opposed to Alexandria in Fairfax County, occupies one corner of the square.
all of it.
@@michaelf8541
Peter I watch your channel often. I am a local and I am disappointed that this is the guide you picked. Definitely a misrepresentation of DC.
This one needs a redo. Sagnik is a transplant not a local.
Yeah I'm going to India to give the tour over there. 😂
@@thirdeyelabs And I'd watch it - always interested what newbies think of my city.
@flygirl2b I imagine I'd be saying, "What?" A lot!
@@flygirl2b And, ewwww!
Peter usually does an amazing job in lining up his guides. I usually wonder how he finds them. Can't win them all of the time.
You came to America with the baggage of a grad degree.😅 Stop it. Get a resident for a redo tour...
Totally agree.
Prejudiced.
Yes he is prejudiced. Able to attend grad school which means 4 to 6 years of college and two parents. He has no clue, yet spouts Jim Crow and solutions for the black community 😢@@pcatful
IKR!
@@mapk4315 How much is a Master's and PhD scholarship? It's better to receive than give. Oh wait a minute.
Really if you have so much repay your scholarships! Just sayin'
Only 10 minutes in, he takes him to a bad neighborhood and it just looks like a quiet nice place
Peter please consider returning and having a DC local show you around! There are many of us who grew up here who would be happy to help! :)
Terrible tour guide this time. Seems like a guy who'd seen Peter's videos and REALLY wanted to be featured, but doesn't have the depth of experience and knowledge of the area to tell the real story. Just flipping his water bottle happy to be on a big youtube channel.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
He just didn't think through it enough to realize "the comment" section. LOL
You are just being jealous cause he made it. He put in the effort unlike you.
@@bluelivesmatter8502 Jealous of an Indian's American dream? NOPE.
100% bad choice,Peter.
Probably the best channel of its kind on RUclips. But nobody hits a home run every time.
I can assure you there’s more people living in poverty in London than those with wealth. He can’t have been there long if he thinks that!
Whew as someone from DC this was cringe to watch. I usually love your videos but this video is not an accurate vibe of what DC is. This shows what transplats think of DC and not what an actual resident goes through. There were soo many spots you missed. You really need to come back and get someone who actually was raised in DC for a true authentic experience. I was sad and a little angry to watch this one 😢
Wrong PERSON SORRY DUDE HE LED YOU DOWN THE WRONG PATH...........It sucks but it happens.....keep up the great work brother
Something about that guy is rubbing me the wrong way.
Racist vibes
@@robbielott7017He's not from DC! Peter got scammed by this guy.
Stop being racist, Sagnik is just as credible cause he made it there from nothing.
She’s not being “racist”.
She’s just stating that there’s something not quite right about this guy. An she’s not wrong! He has a vibe about him that just doesn’t feel right. (To me it’s a very snotty car salesman vibe, know it all type.)
Everyone gives off some kind of energy. An especially for women you’re better off listening to your gut instinct! Peoples color or ethnicity doesn’t matter, as shitty people come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, backgrounds, races, nationalities, & ethnicities!
Young and different.. If you think he's racist after speaking up for Anacostia then your clueless🤡💩🤖 Same people would find me mean because I wouldn't be polite about Liberal Fool's, lazy people, Victimhood idiots and sellout black face politicians🤔🤨😎
You totally dropped the ball with the choice of guide on this one, Peter. All it demonstrated was that a foreigner with a graduate degree can make it in America. Hardly a revelation.
Translation, he’s not brown enough
"Make it" is a whole other conversation. That guy is even more enslaved by the education system and student loans than the people in the hood.
I cannot believe this “guide” so disappointed
The Asian bling or display of wealth seems to be the most elaborate of all races. It's mind-blowing sometimes the extent they get to.
Absolutely! I mean, have you seen some of those mega yachts and private islands they own? It's like they're living in a whole different world.
And don't even get me started on their custom-made supercars and designer wardrobes. They definitely know how to flaunt their wealth.
Yeah, it's pretty impressive. But you know what's even more interesting? Most of these wealthy Asians have someone like Desiree Ruth Hoffman managing their portfolios.
@@LeahLewis-ny9iu Desiree Ruth Hoffman? Who's that?
@@OliverLiam-px3vx DESIREE RUTH HOFFMAN she’s known for her assortment manager and holistic approach to financial planning of high-net-worth individuals , considering factors like income, expenses, and long-term goals. she's been making some serious waves in the industry
"Tour guide" gave off the biggest phony vibes.
He knew he scammed Peter into the video as he did with his “Resume”47:20
Typical Indian scammer
Kid is a scam bro.
He gave off racist vibes to me
He gave off that Steve from Microsoft vibe. I bet he convinced Peter to give him his seed phrase before the interview concluded.
Peter im from NY but ive lived in DC for 6 years. I really think it was a mistake not finding someone who grew up in DC. There are two cities, one that those of us who grew up there know, and one that those of us who moved there know.
Someone who remembers the "Chocolate City" days wouldve been best.
Agreed. I lived there for 12 years and I would not have been the perfect guide. There are certain things only a legitimate local can show you and explain to you
It’s not a mistake per se. It might not be what you would have liked to see. Peter can do another video on DC and likely will. But for this video, it’s this person’s story and experience as an immigrant and DC resident.
To be fair, he interviewed a lot of natives on the streets. We get the gist of DC.
I totally agree with you. I kind of find it marginally an insult to have a non-black, non-American who has not lived in that city for a significant length of time to opine on it. I'm pushed through it to hear this guy's viewpoint but he is coming off as disingenuous and using black people for clout.
I think Peter showed one perspective, this one being from an immigrant: getting to achieve his American dream. A dream that most Americans aren't privy of anymore, not because it isn't achievable, but because there are systems in place that are designed to keep the eyes off the prize. I hope we get see more perspectives. Great work Peter, as always.
Yeah this is a rare miss. I’ve lived in the DMV area for 18 years and still wouldn’t feel qualified to be giving a tour of DC. You need someone who was born and raised in the area, this guy seems to be just in it for clout, don’t know how you chose this dude
We desperately need a redo absolutely not. He has no idea what he’s talking about at all
I’ve never heard anyone say, “don’t cross the bridge.” DC resident 15 years.
Blacks scare everyone
Blacks should leave
Blacks
But nobody does anyway. Anacostia has always been off on it's on.
@@TOCC50you’re a clown…have 2 seats.
The guide is way over his head. At 50:50 he claims L'Enfant the architect of DC, didn't want metro in Georgetown. L'Enfant died in 1825 and the Metro construction phase started in 1969.
Facts.
LOL great example of how this tour guide was so clueless! Plus, Georgetown was not part of the city of DC until 1871, it was an independent town. Georgetown is decades older than the rest of DC and it was already built when L'Enfant came.
So now you idiots want to be Monday night Quarterback🤡💩🧐🤔🤨🤷♂️🤦🏽♂️ At least he reached out to show the city.. You *Crickets
@@allyjmjm Great info! I had no clue Georgetown was built before the rest of DC👍🏻
OK, but Georgetown definitely didn't want Metro 🚇, that's a fact!
As someone who has done business with Sagnik, I can say he's not reliable. Peter, please redo this video with a genuine DC native.
Yikes. Not surprising. He seems like a grifter.
Carjackings in Georgetown are non violent? That’s rich.
Swing and a miss, Peter.
The history of DC and Georgetown shared in this video is incorrect.
Factz
This tour guide was so terrible
Truth
Your statement is shallow🤔🤨🤷♂️🤦🏽♂️
Georgetown was black!
Really missed the mark in this one. I am a white canadian transplant who moved to the DC suburbs 18 years ago and I could have done a better job hosting this video.
Disappointed that you didn’t have a DC native show you the true heart of what Washington is.
No disrespect to Sagnik, but to a city nickname "chocolate city" I was expecting a black dc native to show Peter around
Agreed. This guy lived EOTR for a few months. Not the best host at all. No inside scoops
@@wheresdalove312 Chocolate City is New Orleans.
Maybe Peter should have had Goocheese come back and host with him!
Guys, remember Peter normally does like a series of 5 or 6 videos on each city or area or subject. I'll bet you he'll have a DC native on one of the coming weeks. I think it's interesting to see and hear about all perspectives, native and non-native alike. Be patient. People did the same to him when he covered Chicago (my hometown). But by the time he was done with the series, he really rounded it out with several perspectives. There's still lots of value listening to what others have to say - and fascinating what others consider areas that Peter must see or stories and experiences that must be told.
Why is a person from India critiquing the USA? He doesn't have a clue
they always got something to say about usa, ive noticed alot onlin efrom indians but say one thing about india and they cant handle the criticism
Have you been to Anacostia? Talked to residents? Tried to buy groceries there? Even though you’re a local it doesn’t sound like you’ve been there.
This was the worst video you ever did because that guy was the worst tour guide
Please don't call him a tour guide. He is no tour guide. Just a "yuppie" who wanted You tube exposure. BTW who says "yuppie" anymore? 😆.
Sagnik was not the right person to show you around DC.
He usually does several videos in each city, this was perspective #1. I’m sure there will be more.
SUCKNICK
Alex Ovechkin is better
Sagnik made his was from poor to rich. it shows that anyone can make it in the US economy if they are willing.
@@bluelivesmatter8502 I get that and hats off. But that's his individual success. But to collectively give wrong information and narrative on DC is silly.
I agree with most of the commentors here, I dont think the first guy was right for the interview. Among MANY things, he has no clue what a ghetto truly is.
Horrible choice of host. How the fck are you in D.C. not talking a black host?
The white “bro” is worse than the Indian guy(if that’s possible). Peter, what were you thinking?
I mean if he spent any time in India he sure does 😂
5 minutes in and NOPE. Get a true DC/DMV native to show you whats up.
The city is so big, diverse and rich with history.
A part 2 and maybe even part 3 is needed!
There is a DC native. You all from the burbs do not count as Dc
The guy in the hat was the worst tour guide to ever be on your channel.
You need to get a REAL DC NATIVE to do another video. This guy isn't the one to do this.
Awful tour guide. This guy not even from the DC area, let alone the actual city itself. Gotta get an actual local who grew up in the culture and knows what they’re talking about to take you around. This guy is an outsider.
As a transplant, I found this to be a grotesque representation of a common mindset amongst many of the transplants here in the DMV area. Nonimmigrants usually know how to hide it better though.
This video could have been great if only you'd have gotten a real Washingtonian to show you around.
A guy from India who moved to England and came to DC is going to be a guide to you in Washington and its CRAZY history and talk about solutions ….. brother Peter you could have done better . Wrong guy ( nothing against him )
Thats what i was thinking. feels about right. Someone who has lived there 20 years+ would be ideal.
Indian guy using his t shirt to clean his face/nose ?!
I got halfway through the film and stopped. The Indian guy has memorised lots of media talking points about why people can't succeed but he is talking complete nonsense. Still love your videos Peter but can't stand this type of victim narrative.
He's friends with a dude from the Washington Examiner. Not exactly the cream of the crop of truth telling news. Lol
@@dzed5579he is friends with fake media. It says it all
@@dzed5579 I live in Washington dc. These guys are not lying, you may need to come to DC and see for yourself. It's a beautiful city.
they are both like 4'6" 😂
Same these guide guy was insufferable. He has no clue what is goin on in the Real DC. This didn't show the real tough parts or the nice parts even for that matter...
the least authentic video you've made
Thank you. Why would he not get with a true DC native?? This dude meant well but didn't take him anywhere to get a true feel of the areas they were in.
Yes! 100000% agree! This guy is a disrespectful transplant!
Damn Peter, you got scammed by this so called "local"
As a DC native for the last 60+ years, I have seen "the hood" basically disappear over the past six decades. Places like Dupont Circle went from needle park in the 1960s to too expensive to afford in less than 20-years. Anacostia is 100x better than it was in the 1970s. The gentrification of DC proper is almost complete. All the people and issues that WERE in DC now have migrated to PG county, Maryland and elsewhere.
Your "tour guide" did not reveal to you the true DC. He took you to a "fake hood", one emptied of young minority men who created it in the first place. You saw only old people and crazy people living in post-gentrified SE and SW DC. The child care center you passed is not affordable for 99% of the people who need it. The reason most grocery stores are not in SE or SW is because they soon become theft centers and adult day care for what is left of the poor population.
Anacostia is not an "issue" for anyone except your host. Everyone who had a sound mind or body is out of there and happily living somewhere else. Developers need to finish the job they started in the 1980s and clean it up, move it out, and get on with enjoying life in the new DC --which, by the way, is 1000% better than DC ever was in the last 60 years.
You just can't get an accurate picture of DC unless your tour guide actually understands the dynamics over the past decades that have formed 2024 DC. This guy has no clue.
You're spot on. PG is the trashcan of Washington DC. Having lived in the district until 2000, it's not at all like it was
You are right - the person who showed Peter around doesn't really know DC. My mom was born and raised in DC, but grew up in Tenleytown. When she was young, it wasn't a "rich" neighborhood but it was lots of middle/upper middle class families. She ended up moving away to college in the 60s and then in the 80s after my parents split, she moved back here with me and my brother, but to Maryland because it was more affordable. So I've lived in the area since then. DC definitely has improved a lot - I remember it being called the murder capital of the country in the 80s. But you're right - so much of the crime has moved out to the suburbs.
@@victorialopez9717 I was thinking the same thing how it would have been better if a Washingtonian gave Peter the scoop on DC. But on the flip-side Sagnik is giving his perspective. Also I think DC was considered the "murder capital" in the early 1990's, not in the 80's.
the city has it's issues, but yeah, SE is much better than it was in the 80's and 90's. I only went down there a couple times and it was definitely a place not to go hang out in.
So you kick all the bums doing exactly the OPPOSITE of what “ blue states” stand for and do what we in the south have been saying all along. LOL. Thank fir admitting that blue policies DONT WORK, are nothing but money laundering operations and that removing the blacks solves the problem by making it tk expensive to live there via chitty policies and extreme taxes. Where only the truly wealthy can afford.
YOU NAILED IT!
can’t believe you walked down the exorcist stairs and the guys didn’t say anything lol
Well, these are Gen Y. What do these clueless kiddos know about that movie?
Your guest fed us word salad Peter 🥗
I hate when out of towner move to DC for a few years and think they locals. Please let someone who really know about the city show u around. There’s real history u missed getting toured by that dude.
The gentleman in the cap would have been better to walk around with instead of this guy..
Why cause he made his way up unlike others, just portraying themselves as victim instead of putting in the actual effort.
Ahh no..go back to sleep🤔🤨👍
I wondered if someone was mentioning him in the comments. I would have loved to hear more from him, seemed like a really interesting person and wanting people to learn about his neighbourhood
WAY BETTER
Do you got it wrong, Peter. The people up there, have not forgotten about the people down there. They just don’t care.
Democrats control DC is been that way for decades their city mayors and local politicians that run the city have been Democrats for a long time, they like to keep minorities living like this, specifically blacks and Latinos so that they would be dependent on them forever with their handouts.
do peter get wrong peter do it from up here peter do it
What?
50yrs in DC & this dude just pissed me off. I had my 19 & 23y/o sit & watch with me the 2nd time and they went off because he is NOT representing the city, he has 0 clue as to what he’s talking about. Peter, you’re my guy and my family loves your videos, especially the Titus videos, but this guy? Sheesh! I would’ve come back to DC to film a 2-3 part series of DC period and that’s including ALL 4 quadrants, NE, NW, SE, and SW.
That guy sucks. Worst host you could have chosen to show you the city. He claims he had no money yet he is a native Indian who went to graduate school in London and them came to the USA. And speaks near perfect English. He had no money but has a passport and visa to come to the United States and study abroad in London.
This guy has money and a product of the Indian caste system.
9:24 dude is shaking in his boots you can tell he’s spent next to no time in that neighborhood
how does he vett these "hosts"? This guy has no real clue of what's going on in DC
It don't take but common sense to see what's going on in DC
Totally your worse so called tour guide Brother! You need to do a retake on this one!
you interviewed the 2 goofiest people from DC. These people aint connected and don't know anybody from DC/
I hope you have another episode dropping soon with a DC native giving you the real history. Like how you did the Chicago series.
Yes! This! Get a real local. I know exactly who would be perfect!
as an immigrant myself. no matter how long i live in an american city, i would not volunteer to be a guide for a documentary video like this...maybe a guide for "where we can find great foods" or "what's my personal experience as an immigrant living here" but not "here is the local community where you can see history evolves" i understand the boundary, no matter how many local friends i have, how many books i read, how many people i have talked to..i would never be fully knowledgeable about the culture, history and community here..maybe my children would be able to do that, since they would be born and raised here..not me....
DC is diverse. You have people from every state and country in a small city. Dallas Cowboy fans for example are everywhere.
Well said.
I live across the river in Virginia. I hate to say it, but this video comes up short.
I wish you would have found someone that actually had lived in DC for a few decades. I moved to the area in 1986 and could have provided better context than this guy. I wish there was a guy that could have talked about DC back when RFK stadium was where the Redskins played...and before Nats stadium.
Yea no. Bad choice. You need an actual DC native.
To correct Sagnik who is wildly incorrect on a lot and a non native. Metro started in the 1970's in DC, L'Enfant had nothing to with that or keeping people out as he was long gone. For the Metro to reach Georgetown, the line would have to tunnel under the Potomac and go beneath private properties, not just city streets. The depth of that hypothetical tunnel under the Potomac would have created an incline too steep for Metro trains to handle. Please get better people who can give correct information and history.
For the first time I feel like Peter chose the wrong person to guide him on a video. I have nothing against immigrants but this guy is not enjoyable to watch or listen to.
He sounds like someone who still doesn't recognize how much better he had it "starting from zero" as he claimed compared to the folks who grew up and lived in DC. It's not even the same. Is he going to get the same type of love from cops as the folks he's talking down to about "losing their baggage"? Christ...
AGREE 💯
@@jackolantern7342 And none of those poeple in DC had it as bad as the poorest people in India. If you want to whine about oppression, you can do it all day. The guy clearly talked about how his situation was different from those who grew up in DC 23:50
The retarded self-hating white american pot head gives the indian from london a chance, to come here on a "student visa" to make it, exploits him J style that he learned in anti-american high end university and pays him in chipotle bowls, then the indian proceeds to "fake it til u make it" and take his job and fire his ass for being a retarded self-hating pot head hahaha i love it
AGREE.. with this one i tuned out at 35min...
I had to turn this off after watching 1/2 of it. This was not the normal Santenello video I normally watch. This guy was not “vetted“ very well and does not represent DC. I’ll take this as a one-off and let it slide.
DC deserves better than Sagnik.
Having trouble getting through this video. The tour guide is all about him and his achievements. He brings up Jim Crow twice. I don't think Jim Crow laws were that prevalent in DC. This guide is not really that good. Should have interviewed a true resident not a transplant from India.
Jim Crow is the only history he knows I guess. He has no idea what he's talking about. Especially when he talks about Georgetown and L'Enfant-he is objectively wrong on the history there. Georgetown was a separate city from the rest of the DC from before L'Enfant was born until almost 50 years after he died! L'Enfant had nothing to do with it being secluded.
Rich Mannion
This was not a good video and Pet does great work. This was a 60% Grade
@@staceygillmore6518 I think we could all tell he really wasn't into this one. He did not break bread with this group, He usually does that.
You both said Jim Crow and redlining don't exist now, which is wrong. Institutional racism still exists today. The GOP suppressing the Black vote today is just one of many examples.
Hoping this is 3-4 part series on the DMV, because you scratched the surface on our region. Such rich history and communities in other parts of DC but also Maryland and Virginia.
Yes! I hope he makes it into Virginia and Maryland as well.
Peter used to be my favorite you tuber. The Hawaiian series, now this has me questioning my thoughts. Content can be tough but go back to your old school ways.
Peter, this guy is not a DC native. You should have found a true born and raised DC native. Someone who could have given you the history of DC.
Peter all your videos are spot on!! This one... not so much I won't say what the other 1000 commenters have said, I guess by now you get the picture.
Living there and growing up there are two different perspectives. Peter can you interview with a black elder who grew up in DC that has seen more and lived it?
This guy seems like he read a bunch of articles about DC.
Your idea would be way more informative than this yuppy as he calls himself, he is wrong about many things in the video.
Now you are being racist, he is as credible as any other other Americans cause he started from nothing and still made it here.
'i studied at George Town for four years middle eastern language and culture, and I only use it in cabs' this guy's is the epitome of what's wrong with America.
Why because it's truth??🤔 must be a chaotic liberal🤡💩🎪🧐🤨👍
She already lost me at studied language and culture at Georgetown.
This is getting reported for hate speech and being down voted
the arrogance of the tour guide made this hard to watch.
Not getting the feeling he’s with the right guide
Definitely isn't. Should've found someone who grew up in the city
Definitely not in Hawaii anymore😅
Why? Because he’s speaking the reality of things? His perspective is not polluted with delusions
Speak for yourself pal. @@lifeisagamble3615
@@lifeisagamble3615 The reality of things? lol...
You REALLY made a mistake by letting someone not from D.C. give you a tour.
If you haven't lived here 30+ years, you're not even fit to give a tour.
So only old people. Prejudiced.
IMO he should have split the video and did both, an old-time resident and someone who has located there within recent years. Who knows, maybe he will do both and post another Washington DC video. He usually does these as a series to give a balanced perspective.
Calm down in your rocking chair I’m sure he’ll interview someone else 🤣
@@pcatful GEN X is not old
Yeah Peter video's are usually on point and heart felt. This is one I'll pass, would've love to see someone born and raised in DC, can tell his story before Generfacation and his or her opinion on it now.
who qualified him to be the spokesperson of Dc.
This guy doesn't have a clue where entry level gov't workers live, how much they make or anything.
Tech bro transplant ain’t the guy. Love your channel Peter but this was disappointing.
This is the first time where I thought the story was about the guide and not the city. It was mostly "I found...". But you generally hit it out of the park Peter, so I'll always watch.
I really wished you would have talked to a native Washingtonian. I was born and raised in the city and could have given you a good history of D.C. I live East of the River and There are so many good people living there working and doing g their best to live in such an expensive city. It’s great that this young man received those opportunities but we have young people here who are great smart and would want those same opportunities also.
Oh well the rest the country doesn't care about DC near as much as those of you who live their would like to beleive we do.
As a Washingtonian this host is a bama 😂😂😂
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO yes sir that is the perfect word a bama 202 all dayyyy
I'm not quite sure how you managed to fall into this hosts trap, Peter. You are usually very careful who you travel with to show you an area. I found it very hard to listen to a person who originally came from India talking about racism and solving "class" solutions. Perhaps this gentleman should look to his own counrty to help solve their horrendous "Caste" class system still in effect that has "untouchables" "secheduled castes" that are considered outcasts and belong to no social order. It would have been much better I feel to speak to someone who fully understands the issues of the city because they were born and raised there and have experienced all sides and facets of their city. I found this man very arrogant and frankly he said it himself, at 25:14 "I don't know what it's like to be them." as he pointed towards Anacostia.
I have lived here in DC since 1979 and moved to the area soon after college was completed. The food desert areas had major grocery chains like Safeway and the local chain, Giant. They had to leave SE when the thefts became too much to sustain their businesses. That is also why none are enthusiastically going back. It is a terrible thing when people and businesses are afraid to go into an area of town due to its bad reputation. This happens in cities all over America. They go where the money is and unfortunately, lately, the crime has followed. Peter, you really should have spoken with a person who was born in DC and has lived here a long time. Many points were missed.
Oakland, CA is currently being destroyed.
A people cut off from their God, yet people can't see nor have any understanding of what is written of this people, but gave them the religion of their church fathers, all while they keep them cut off from the commandments of their God. You wonder why we do evil? IT IS WRITTEN IN THAT BOOK CALLED THE BIBLE THAT A PEOPLE CAME SAYING THEY WERE CHRIST AND DECEIVED THESE PEOPLE BY TEACHING THESE PEOPLE WE A RE NOT UNDER THE LAW OF GOD WHICH IS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD KINGDOM EARTH. NOW WE TRANGRESS THE LAW OF MAN, YES THAT SMALL NUMBER AMONG THE NATIONS WHO ARE UTTERLY DESPISED!
This was maybe the worst video ive seen from Peter, totally misleading and didn't even see anything REAL.. Now im questioning if all Peters videos are so misleading.. this was the worst representation of past/present DC
@@rumoret Oakland has a lot of opportunity if they controlled crime, sadly its run by woke liberals that care more about seeming "progressive" than fixing the problems going on
Yes I had to skip this video a lot.
Sorry Pete, not your best video.
It’s because he was dealing with arrogant DC people. That’s not his thing
I think this is America now and He is just the messenger. We all need to respect that He and His Wife bring Us True raw America as it stands today whether We agree with it or not. I personally have high anxiety and live on a tight budget My Husband and I do not travel much anymore so I appreciate all of these it puts things into perspective for Me so I am equally grateful for all of these 🇺🇲
You little f’ing chickenshit. F you. The video was great!
Sorry Peter, I am a big fan but struggled to get through this one. Found the guides self proclaimed ‘Yuppie’ attitude a bit cringe and hard to watch
This tour guide is clueless to the real DC.
This rich kid guide lived 5 months on the other side of the tracks so that makes him a know it all. This kid sucks.
Smells like curry powder too
He already made it there while being young. Stop victim mentality. Your jealously won't fix poverty.
@@TOCC50😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you can tell he was uncomfortable being in the hood part until they got around Georgetown lol
Horrible guide - I’d have loved if he were an interview during the video, but he’s far from ideal as a person to help showcase
Like others mentioned DC is an extremely diverse community. I think with this in mind it might have been a good idea to have multiple people be tour guides. There are so many different topics to broach. I think a really interesting one, for example, would be what I would phrase as ‘suburban sprawl’. A lot of immigrants that got their start with businesses in DC really started to move out of the city during the 70s and 80s at the height of some of its worst crime. So now you have these pockets of micro cities in the Suburbs such as Chinese in Rockville and Ethiopians in Silver Spring. Talking to some of the older generation that lived in DC and moved to these would be a really good idea.
How did you find this guy??
Wrong person for this interview
A DC TRUE native is who you needed!!
As a native Washingtonian with deep roots I really would have appreciated you having a guide that was actually born and raised in DC. I’m sure this is a great video for some but for other Washingtonians I’m not so sure. I will pass on watching this one and look forward to seeing other amazing content!
Your so correct, I just said the same, I couldn't watch it for the same reason.
The guy running the food stand with the DC flag hat that is born and raised there would have been probably a amazing guide!
I was scared for his safety for a minute.
I can get him in for next time!
Nonsense India was colonized and he was able to get out of the ghetto. He talks about Jim Crow but India has a cast system
No cast system in India it was created by British’s Indian’s are very educated they don’t believe in that . Update your info 😅
I am an Indian living in India. Yet we dont keep running around crying wolf every racist incident and try and destroy the very fabric of existence here. Our income levels are far below what US has. Yet the level of deliquency is far less. We dont have people shooting drugs on the streets. We have ghettos too, some of the largest in the world. But we dont have so much street crime. We currently have a government led by a Party who is using communalist "caste " related politics. Yet in the latest elections, they voted that party down.
We have a similar history as Israel and Gaza. Yet we dont run around bombing each other out to oblivion. We have big divides between the rich and poor. Yet we dont get into "class" struggle. We experimented with socialism and found it lacking especially in the visionary department. It just simply dont cut to keep giving freebies to the not so deserving. That gives no incentive for self betterment. And it pulls the rest of us down.
By no means our country is a paradise. There is a real poverty here. We have corruption and nepotism. We have social issues too, like treatment of women and rape.
But that doesnt mean that we go around looting stores and public property, exhibit general lawlessness and look down on our own cultural ancestory. Being real doesnt mean being stupid and destroying what was built. That is sitting on the edge of the a branch and cutting on it too!
@@gamernerd7139 You must be a man if you think India has so much less street crime and lawlessness. India is far less safe than anywhere in the United States, especially so for half the human population. India has a growing drug problem too among young people.
That is correct India was colonized by the British for 550 years. as soon as the British left in 1947, the corrupt Indian politicians have still not sustained the British infrastructure. Bridges streets are all collapsed. My grandmother used to always tell us that the British were there to save us from ourselves. And the British have always referred to India as “their younger brother “. But India has not kept their end of the bargain. This guy in this documentary is from South India they are a different breed of Indians. Low level.
Pretty sure india is racist towards foreigners from i have seen. Taking tourists cameras, putting them in jail for no reason. There is some who make their living scamming americans all day.
Struggle to watch. You weren't even in Anacostia at the start of this video, but kept referring to the area as if all of SE is Anacostia. You were actually in Fort Dupont a great working class community, less than a 5 minute walk from one of the most lovely communities in DC, Hillcrest. Your host, pointed out "townhomes" on Minnesota avenue that where actually apartment buildings. He was so ill informed that I couldn't finish this video.
Not to mention they're called rowhouses, not townhouses like in the suburbs.
As a Londoner I can tell you this guy has zero clue about the lives of Londoners. Not to mention that he turned down a 50k a year job just after leaving Uni which would make him very lucky. He probably never left the city of london which is the square mile of the money and financial district. The fact that he uses the acronym Yuppie which was last used in the early 90s is a testament to the fact that he is very out of touch with reality. Seems like another privileged ‘yuppie’ 😂.
You sound jealous of him for getting out of London.
With all due respect…I vehemently disliked the narrative of this video. But the disconnect from resident to resident as well as resident to power is a massive aspect of very complicated issues.
What was the narrative. It seemed like the real situation.
What are you going on about? Any solutions?
dude you need to meet some real localfolks
I can't even finish watching this video
