What a strange mix of mental illness, gangs, children playing, neighbors talking, dudes just walking home with take out. And the last place I would ever want to find myself, but people are just living their lives.
It's sad tbh. When I was living in the Bronx, we had our nice and nephew over and they were in front of the building started running down the sidewalk, wanting to be kids and my sister in law yelled at them to stay put because they could get shot. There's gangs hanging out on the corner, even sitting on my stoop. I mean you share a building and living space with all these people.
@@rudeculture4399Harlem is a mixed bag, really nice and really bad. I used to walk to Harlem from the Bronx. Back in the day I lived there for years although I was born in Brooklyn. Harlem wasn't sweet. There are some nice parts but a lot of it is projects. It can get crazy there.
I worked at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital in the 70s. I commuted from Queens and worked the night shift. How I am alive today is a mystery to me and my family. Nothing I see on the internet today shocks me.
I was born at the old Bronx Lebanon hospital 1970. Family lived on and around 167th/Grant/Sherman/Sheridan/Clay/Webster. We survived by the grace of God and because we still had a village that protected us. Thank you for your medical services. ❤🙏🏾
@@frank-xp6pj violent crime is down massively from those days and if you look at overall stats they keep going down too, despite what media tries to tell you
@@Rosterized that’s right, you know I’m 49 years old & I was having this conversation with a 55 year old coworker & some youngsters in there mid 20’s jumped in the conversation & said “ Yall crazy it’s much worse now “ ……we had to literally pull out our cellphones & show these young dudes….We told them the only thing worse today is the perception on social media, even in hiphop everybody is a so called gangsta today but yet they never come outside…..just drive through any hood / ghetto in the United States & you will see that youth don’t post up on the block like we did in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s….i remember hanging out with a friend of mine back during our senior year of highschool, this friend had left during middle school to move to a neighboring city after his father was murdered but returned to our school district when we both was seniors in highschool. He lived in the projects with his mom, sisters & brother & he had become a drugdealer ….i rode around all night with him from one housing project to the next selling crack cocaine….I didn’t know anything about it at the time so it was a life changing experience for me….I collected the money after every sale & put it in the glove compartment, my boy had two pistols in the car & at the end of the night like 2 am the next morning he had made $2k…but every project we went to in Norfolk Virginia & Portsmouth Virginia had at least 25 to 40 goons posted up smoking weed & drinking 40’s…..My wife & I moved here to Cali like 6 years ago & I kinda thought that with the warmer weather that maybe California dudes still posted up in the hood but to my surprise even out here they don’t….This generation does more online / social media But in our day we was on the block always into something & always a fight or rival neighborhoods beefing with each other…..I remember a guy from te neighborhood I grew up in was shot & he had to wear a colostomy bag so the older goons in my neighborhood went over one night & shot a dude on the corner in there project….it became a thing where they was saying we gonna put one of yall in a colostomy bag….See back in the day having so many goons outside hungry in every housing project made the perfect breeding ground for a lot of violence but in this generation kids are inside on the internet or high tech PS5 video games….but back in the day before social media coming outside with a football or basketball was our form of social media.
to be fair not the entire city is like this. I also live in a very quiet neighborhood within the city, with grass and backyards and trees. I've been to this neighborhood less than five times in my life and the junkies and gang members all over the street isn't common in most parts of the city.
And when it gets brutal it's going to get racially divided like prisons. Videos like this are warnings to who you may not want to be living around when things collapse.
He blends in but he's also a huge dude, which stops groups of guys from trying to mess with him. Some guys lip off a little bit but never directly challenge him. I think he's some combination of being big while also having a disarming aura to him.
How you gonna call them “fatherless street pansies” when you say that to their face… (*cause) and they proceed to take your life from you??? (*effect)…
@@ryanoglesbee1075if it wasn’t for the badges, cops would be victims. That’s literally v the only thing saving them. It’s actually opposite from what you said
In the 90’s NYPD would have collared all of those punks for the verbal threat and hand gestures alone. These are the same clowns who the ghetto minded population will celebrate and scream about if he is killed by police.
Gotta get that content. Besides, what's a drugged out person that can barely stand gonna do to him? Charlie's a huge dude. Not even groups of young guys mess with him.
The very beginning is a prime example of why police shoot first ask questions later. Then you got these same dudes that probably complain about being "harrassed" by police.
A friend of mine was visiting new york city last summer and witness an NYPD officer attempt to stop an assault. The attacker pushed and held the officer by the throat up against the side of a panel van. The officer put his hands up and the man released him and the cop walked away! There is no law in NYC.
@@Kushert tbh they pretty much are. NYPD changed out the stock Glock triggers at a 5lb trigger pull with 12lb triggers. Reason being because of negligent discharges. So instead of correcting the problem with better training, they made it nearly impossible to pull the trigger. Even when the officers do pull the trigger, they have to muscle it so much that they stand a better chance at shooting a bystander rather than the suspect they're aiming at lol.
You been to Hella places charlie you been to South of the border in Tijuana BC , Mexico and all the way to Toronto, Ontario, Canada in a different video of the past you gotta Hella Big wingspan brotha
Back then when gangs threaten the police, those gangs would be rounded up and face jail and prison time depending on their criminal histories. Now it's ???
If you live here then you naturally understand how to move around the City and nothing that you see phases anyone. I work around there daily and I've pretty much seen it all but Its really simple mind ya business and keep it moving! 💯
Safest city charlie been to in a min. Tons of people live, work, travel, etc thru Harlem and every other "bad" city. Mind your business, keep it moving, and show respect. most importantly, you need to act as if you belong. Like fake it till you make it. If you ain't lookin like prey, you'll be good. I say this as a skinny young white dude that's been to a few of the east cost blocks featured on Charlie channel.
@user-js8eg2fp3x It would surprise many how much diversity is out here. Mother nature makes most of the rules and folks have to watch out for each other.
I really miss the 1950s and 1960s oh my god what's happening in America 🇺🇸 the crime rate is way to high we need change. That neighborhood is absolutely disgusting I would never ever want to walk there even if someone paid me money Horrible environment people there have absolutely no class
i love my neighborhood. showed an interesting section of it. 2 aves west is a whole different world. 2 aves east, same story, but for vastly different reasons. 125th and st nick all my life 👀
No jobs, not much going on in their lives, no desire to do much in life besides hang out in the streets. A lot of these people feel defeated because that’s how they grew up or have been taught. That “they ain’t shit” and it’s tough to break that cycle. I’m not condoning thug or gang behavior whatsoever but poverty is a motherfucker and a lot of people do not break out of that cycle.
Me and a friend went to NY in 2017. Didn't do a whole lot of research and apparantly booked our hotel in the middle of Harlem. Here we were: the two whitest dudes on the planet strolling through Harlem for a week. It was a different world than we were used to but we didn't have one negative experience just for being white. Even at night time everybody just seemed to mind their own business. Quite the experience though.
lol harlem is mad gentrified. tons of white people everywhere. y’all seem to write anything. dude is acting like he expects black people to attack like hyenas.
