  • This video shows some of the territory of the notorious Detroit street gang 7mile Bloods on the eastside. They mainly operate in the 48205 zip code which they refer to as the Red Zone or 4820DIE. Some of the members were recently indicted for racketeering murder, attempt murder, drugs, armed robbery, and numerous other charges.

      @Johnny West I just read a book called "The Color of Law" Breaks it down how the whites of San Francisco strategically created the housing market to benefit whites FIRST. And when middle class.and poor blacks moved in for port jobs, they strategically built substandard housing and let companies go down the drain so whites would move to more affluent neighborhoods. It's clowns like you who mislead everybody talking that bs. I read a book and everything you said is a lie. Foh

      How do you take care of something when you have no education, no job, not much of anything. I'm white, but I grew up in a neighborhood not quite as bad as Detroit but close. A lot of blacks can't even get hired at department stores. I remember getting calls at 17. None of my black friends would. And as far as 'fixing up a house', my grandmother made 12$ an hour cleaning houses her whole life. She would usually have to call her friends to help her fix sometning. Sometimes she'd get ripped off. Be grateful for what you have. If you are one of the lucky ones to make it out of this it's usually because you got lucky. My education just being on that side of town was less than zero...disgusting. They don't care about you. I'm a woman so I was able to find someone, marry, and climb a social ladder out of it.

      @albundy6008 Před 7 lety +46

      ***** you are truely clueless. The level of addiction in the ghetto is staggering. The lack of education is another major reason why those trapped there can't get out. It is almost impossible for someone who is an addict to get a better education and secure a well-paying job.

    • @nightbeats5023
      @nightbeats5023 Před 7 lety +18

      I will agree with you about the level of addiction and lack of education, but those are symptoms of the poverty not the other way around. People turn to escapes like drugs when they are in a hopeless situation where they feel there is no way to get a better education or a job.
      There is plenty of research into the subject you can read about.
      However your statement about it being impossible for someone that is an addict to get a better education and a well paying job is also true. It's a cycle that starts with schools, economic opportunity, and public infrastructure leaving an area causing it to become destitute. People turn to alcohol and drugs to make money and to escape their collapsing community. This in turn leads to further depression and people become stuck in a loop that many are unable to escape.

    • @albundy6008
      @albundy6008 Před 7 lety +21

      ***** people turn to drugs and alcohol because they give up on themselves and their communities. They promote the degradation of their communities instead of working to make it better. More drugs leads to more crime, violence, and poverty. The family structure is also destroyed by these factors, in turn leading to more drug use, illiteracy, and hopelessness. It is a vicious circle, one that can only be broken by those who have the insight to say "ENOUGH!" and do something about their situation, not by government handouts or by rioting and looting.

    I currently live in Philadelphia and that city has many blocks that feature abandoned homes. But what's to do with these homes in Detroit, which must had been quite roomy and comfortable during the past times? Detroit needs to rebuild its economy and its school system if those houses are to be reoccupied and repaired. Otherwise another possible solution is that these abandoned blocks be seized, the houses torn down, and the parcels consolidated into large farmlands. Maybe agriculture could be the saving grace for Detroit (and many parts of Philadelphia).

    • @dergluckliche4973
      @dergluckliche4973 Před 5 lety +2

      They're already doing the big urban farms. Thing is, the city would have to know from whom to seize the homes which involves a lot of legal costs the city can't afford. Demolition costs a lot if the houses contain lead, asbestos or other hazardous materials. Detroit can try to rebuild its economy all it wants but there is a dearth of people who have the type of education needed to rebuild and sustain today's economy who want to _live_ in Detroit. The suburbs are still quite nice but the suburbs aren't Detroit. That's one of the reasons San Francisco and Seattle are so so expensive: lots of well-educated, well-paid people _want_ to live in those places. Detroit's school system there is NOTORIOUS for its mismanagement and without a tax base, it's WOEFULLY underfunded. It may not be as bad as it was ten years ago but it will never be what it was at its peak again.

    Used to hang out with these 3 brothers in the early 90s. They lived with thier grandmother in Brightmore. The grandmother died and the older brother caleb (chincy) got a job at rouge steel and he kept the house up, the youngest was craig, he got on that rock habit and quit high school. Warren was the middle brother he was the one we were all friends with. He got in with some bad people selling dope, someone killed him in 92 he was in 11th grade. I drove down that street about 6 years ago,there were not many houses left on the block and thier house was gone, all that remained was the overgrown driveway. From the looks of that area it looks like a few generations of people were wiped out! They were good people craig and warren were amazingly talented baseball players. I remember they never wanted to go home after baseball.

My neighborhood has homes from the eighteenth century (seventeen hundreds) that are in excellent condition, because generations of people have taken care of them. The saddest thing of all is that there is no personal accountability for this situation. I'm sure these people blame upstanding whites for the degradation of their own community.

      Racist white people love videos like this, they come with their skewed views and use videos like this to support their racism. Nevermind that all the jobs up and left Detroit and many could not afford to maintain, those that can do as the video clearly shows. You can look at any video of the predominately white videos with people in rural areas in the same situation but you will never see white people writing the same kind of comments. White people are incredibly delusional about every situation.

Racism does exist, doesn't mean some can't escape. I appreciate my good blessings and I am aware others were not. White people are the only people who systematically disenfranchise people, use them and then bash them. The funny thing is that you don't know history and every third world people always rise and the super powers fall. Also never forget, white people receive more benefits, the rich have fantastic tax cuts and many loopholes and no group receives public aid than white people. The fact that jobs are drying up everyone has made crime increase in predominately white neighborhoods across the nation, things are changing and the truth will keep exposing. Just like the Bundy's who used free government land yet considered themselves hardworking and paving the way is hilarious and delusional.

      Also Nico Cc I believe that despite what white people do or don't do we have a responsibility to do what is right regardless, that is universal for all people however it doesn't change the influence white people have over situations like Detroit. The jobs left and most of the residents who were black could not move up and out. Detroit could not recover fast enough, the same thing almost happened to Pittsburgh however they were able to recover big time thanks to a switch in industry from steel to health care and technology. Detroit is trying to come back and it is on the rise, sure they have stuff to work out but to go and just blame black people is silly, racist and disgusting...tell me what industry do black people control and where does a city rise or fall from blacks in power?? You need to see videos like this to fuel your lame sense of superiority and that is sickening. When crack hit the black communities they locked them and while whites now suffer from opioids and guess what they give them free drugs, milder versions to keep them functional....same problem different tactics...that bias is real and the results are real. The whites in coal towns are sufferings too, crime is up, building are falling down, drugs are everywhere and you won't see white people trashing them, watching videos and damning them.

    OK so I live in Detroit and grew up in Detroit and yes there’s a good side and there’s the bad side. the town is very beautiful and there are some neighborhoods that are more worn down than others I live in the warn down neighborhood but I still love it it’s not as bad as people say or make it look like! There’s also the more upkeep neighborhoods that look like probably your town houses such as a normal subdivision there’s just the worn down parts that people focus more on I guess. But either way the worn down parts are more gloomy than others because those are people that don’t have a lot of money because the rent is only ranging from 200 to 500 a month so people don’t have money will live in the one down parts, they don’t have enough upkeep money to put flowers on their porch. Detroit is working on getting rid of those old abandoned houses but there’s just so many of them Detroit is so big it’s hard. Yes there are killers that room the street but don’t mess with them and they won’t go for you!

    Detroit and Flint have had the same problem, the car plants left and nothing moved in to replace them. Both were cities with great jobs then the jobs left and this is what was left. Unlike most gang infested cities the violence in these two came after the jobs left and the money ran out. The gang culture also directly affects the levels of education, the businesses willing to open and the opportunities for the young men to get a way out. Violence is why good teachers avoid these schools, businesses close or never open, and everyday the people there feel like there is no way out.

    Like wow. I live in New Zealand and things are not well with us at the moment a gunman having killed fifty people at some mosques in the South Island a few days ago, we are all in shock here in our little country, but it's sad to see good well-built solid homes just go to such waste when there are homeless people. I did some investigative searching on Google Earth and I managed to find Pinewood and Pelkey streets/roads by seeing the green signs on your video therein and so I followed your course through Google Earth because I wanted to see more of this neighbourhood. I'm guessing there must be a Greek community nearabouts now or once because I see a park called Calimera Park. I'm half-Greek and Calimera means good morning in Greek (a blessing to the goddess of the morning or sunrise). I also see that there are still many people roundabout this area who look after their homes and love them possibly being homeowners, I'm not sure, but I see well-tended gardens, trimmed hedges and smarted up lawns. There's some pride here as well as some deprecation. I'm just very aware about all of us keeping safe, wherever we are, accepting our differences and creeds and having safer communities and just caring for each other a little more. Sharing is caring. I can see the good and the not so good here in this vid.
    You all have a nice day, do you hear 👍🧡

      Theodisc, this is the result of CORPORATE GREED. This town thrived on the automotive manufacturing industry which was more concerned with keeping the stock market shareholders happy than keeping the jobs in Detroit.

    Some of the homes look beautiful. This neighborhood needs to be taken back and cleaned up. What a shame. Prayers for all.

    Dang, I'd be out of luck if I got lost here. I wouldn't know I'm in unsafe territory (except for the houses where the grass is way overgrown..starting at 3:09). Some of those blocks look just like areas in the city I'm in (Spokane, WA). I go there all the time. I feel bad for the homeowners that do try to keep their yards and houses nice while they're surrounded by neglected houses/yards.

    That sad part about this is that nothing is done. The police and the military should really go into these places and clean it all up.

    Never understood why people would ruin their OWN community, devalue their own property, choose to live in squalor rather than comfortable houses, destroy their own lives over some stupid schoolyard shit.
