I worked as a Social Worker for the homebound elderly in the Brownsville- East NY section of Brooklyn from 2008-2016 and was in the projects daily. Yes, there are many problems, but what you never hear about are the many good people that live there. My elderly clients were absolutely lovely people, many of whom were raising small children and busting their butts trying to raise them right. Happy holidays to you Hezakya and everyone out there.
Those elderly people raising those children are raising children their own children failed. And they’re not really raising those children - the American taxpayer is.
@@adm712 Whose children are these grandmothers raising, then? It’s why we call them “grandchildren,” you know. There’s a preexisting relationship that skipped a generation. You could have easily slide discovered this with just a little initiative.
I've been fascinated by these large Projects in America for years. Pruitt Igoe, Cabrini, Brownsville, NY. I might has well have grown up on another planet. We were goofing off on our family farms as kids. Not a care in the world. Driving pickup trucks and tractors around at age 12. The only thing we got lectured about was gun safety . yes, that's right, we all had our own rifles at that age.
Im a self proclaimed country city girl. I was raised between Brooklyn and Charleston all of my life now residing in Charleston. I’ve experienced living in the P’s, going to school in Brooklyn, fist fights, shootouts, dog fights, gang wars… my own mother was a victim of gun violence etc so for ALL holidays and school vacays I enjoyed walked barefoot in the grass, playing with the plethora of cousins, aunts/ uncles from different generations, picking fruits off the trees, forcing myself to have a green thumb growing things, seeing who can spit seeds the furthest, learning stick shift, target practice, i learned how to change motor oil and the brake pads on a car 😂 the moment we left South of the Border i cried. TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT WORLDS im blessed to have experienced them both. In the south I felt like a free bird, In Brooklyn i was a caged bird fighting not to become a product of my environment.
There is Cabrini in NY? And Lester. I grew up same as you. I had more rods and reels than I did guns. I was backing my dads boat in the water at the boat ramp at 12. So we could go fishing faster. Lol.
The projects are nothing to be fascinated by. They’re all run down dumps, infested with crime and drugs. It’s a shame they force decedent people to live amongst criminals.
Wow, that principal was gunned down in the projects I grew up in. I remember the day it happened. Things were so rough back then. I lived on the first floor and every one of my windows had bullet holes. I am glad I made it out.
If the same old problems persist and the players are all the same, the new generation of Black adults in this country must take heed and do something else. This consists of taking economic, educational and political control of the demographic's dealings in all areas of their own societal lives. The next few generations of Black children are THE most important ones and they need to be protected and built up to fulfill a destiny long overdue. Stop being scared of the hard work of undoing the mess Black people of today inherited. Those who aren't with it, leave them to their masters; like this vid, there are special mental and physical encampment opportunities waiting for them.
There needs to be major reforms to the system .. These projects were intended as a bridge to getting on your feet and progress, instead we are subsidising generation after generation, we programs and guidelines to help people help themselves and get out of the projects... There is no motivation for people to get out
Love the music used in this. Real hip hop shit. On the other hand nice documentary, got a couple rolled enjoying the vibezzz. Big up yourself for the upload..😤💨💨👊🏾💯
Folks who want to house their gang banging children, boyfriend, cousins, husbands, etc should be evicted immediately. I lived in HUD apts in the 80s and the manager of the apartments didn't allow any banging, crack selling those folks would have been immediate evicted. I knew young lady who was evicted because she allowed her apt to be a hang out for bangers. They didn't allow loud music playing, loitering, littering etc. It's managements fault for allowing criminals to continue to reside in the projects.
I wish the government would tear down every single project and built little houses. No apartments, this way people would feel safer. Also have nicer homes, affordable ones.
Charlieboi313 is a channel you should check out if you haven't already. Much respect to that man. He drives thru some very dangerous areas all over the US.
@@soniasg8639 the mentality has to change, there's hoods with houses that are crime ridden. the change of the structure's of the building are not going to make things better
Do you know how the “projects” got its title the “projects”? The first construction “project “ was never completed on the outside and always looked unfinished. More housing projects followed suit and figured it would cost less to worry more about the inside than the outside. Thus, the projects were born. Always looking like an unfinished project.
@@HelloooThere Your dead-end argument and your dead-end thinking. Why should I consume myself with their failure after they’ve already taken money from me to subsidize it? You don’t think of how much the projects are theft from productive people. You’re just not very smart or conscientious.
MC Lyte just dropped more knowledge in 2 minutes than 90% of these rappers now a days have dropped their whole career - sad shit going on in RAP/HIP HOP - moving downhill quickly - dam I miss the late 80s and 90s
You come from the projects but you can get out alive. I know because myself, my brother and my mom got out. My father and two sisters did not. I didn't come from a crystal stair, there were tacks and splinters. I would never go back.
@@HezakyaNewz I will give you that, all your videos are unique. I like the mafia and 1980s nyc videos best. You should make some wu tang mash ups, etc.
That lady was offended she would have to move from a 3 floor walk up to a 16 story high rise. I wonder how offended she would be if she actually had to pay rent.
You do pay rent in the projects, it's just less than standard rent. That said, high rises are notorious for having non-working elevators and crime and gang activity. It is a lot harder to monitor activity in a high rise than in a low rise.
@34:40 That's irresponsible as a father and a husband. Even Malcom X had plans on moving his family to an upper-middle class neighborhood before his death per Betty Shabaz's biography.
99% single mothers raising there sons with no structure or Discipline. I grew up in the projects a lot or the mothers with drug dealing criminal violent criminal sons they won’t kick out. These young men also need jobs so they can afford food in clothing so they don’t have to turn to drug dealing.
If their fathers hadn't run off at birth the family probably wouldn't be in the projects. The mother kicking the son out would mean he'd be engaging in the same activity elsewhere. Jobs are readily available everywhere so thats not an excuse for grown men selling drugs.
@@TomikaKellyI wish you could tell me how you know the fathers of ran off. Educate your dumbass so and watch the movie Claudine. The words it's always been a plan to separate the family the black woman is easier to control because of fear of her children being hurt the government knows get rid of the man the family fails
@@garyflythe1362 - Yeah. Isn't the father not being in the home a condition that a woman needs to qualify for welfare? And isn't that part of the plan to sow dysfunction in the black community?
I wish I could afford to donate to this man's channel. This is one of my favorite you tub channel's. Keep up the great work.
I agree. It's my favorite as well
We all do❤❤❤

Thank you for another amazing video that teaches and reaches us, Hez.
Merry Christmas, i enjoy your channel.
New subscriber thank fo having me... shout out from new orleans
Anything worth value will not be inclusive unless you’re on a vacation trip. Remember that
Remind of the projects back NYC they would beat police back in the eighties
You most likely feel the rush from obtaining past knowledge (myself included). Feels good.
Mayor Daley & His father set the city up to be this way!
There needs to be major reforms to the system .. These projects were intended as a bridge to getting on your feet and progress, instead we are subsidising generation after generation, we programs and guidelines to help people help themselves and get out of the projects... There is no motivation for people to get out
The projects weren't designed 4 poor living. It became a hell hole when the standards were removed.

More power to you. No way in the absolute Hell would I go to a housing project, and I'm Black.

@@soniasg8639 the mentality has to change, there's hoods with houses that are crime ridden. the change of the structure's of the building are not going to make things better
@@soniasg8639 Then it would just be a run down neighborhood instead of a run down project building.
Best music on TH-cam….. MC Lyte. Well done.
Atlanta projects were crazy.
ATLANTA WAS THE PROTOTYPE CITY FOR THE PROJECT!!
Amazing Hez. We gonna make a classic
Proper tune that. Hope youve had a good one Heza 👍👍
Great Video!!
GREAT CONTENT BRUH 👏👏👏☻
👹KRAMPUS👹 caught me last night! 😨!
But after 20 minuets he yelled at me and made me go home!
🤔He said I got on his nerves!😢🎅🎅🎅
That Mc Lyte tho 🎶
Looks like affordable housing is a prison

Projects are unnecessary to responsible people.
@@NoahBodze ignorance is bliss, right
@@HelloooThere You don’t know who pays for the projects and subsidizes they indolence. Yours is a kind of “bliss” that keeps you where you are.

Lol Robert Taylor homes. A deep granulated scar on Chicago’s face.

$150 a month for electricity in an apartment? I don't even pay that now in a two bedroom.
I wonder how you are able to replay these videos and songs without being sued or copyright struck.
The copyright holders get paid from the videos...I get nothing

What makes you assume she's not?? Everyone pays rent in public housing.
@@delesa08 No full rent

@@thetruthhurts131 The comment did not assume whether or not she pays full rent the comment assumed she didn't pay rent at all.
These projects needed to be decimated 50 yrs ago
They work perfectly well, and every other country. It’s a bridge to a better life.
Only the black communities do you find us type of behavior .
