It's all summed up at 0:50 - 1:46. Mr Fate Buckles Jr said it right, everyone is only looking out for themselves.

The only bad place there is fucking scotlandville where all the blacks live.. Come up to 70810 whee university club and oak hills are, the crime rate is like some kid stole a candy bar that's it, this would make people who don't live here think it's a terrible city but it's grate just stay away from scotlandville😂

Have some pride about yourself and your surroundings, grab a hammer and a paint brush, not a razor and a scale.

THERE SHOULD BE DRACONIC PUNISHMENT FOR DRUGS EVEN THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF JOINT AT LEAST 10 YEARS JAIL WITHOUT PAROLE !
BUILD MORE JAILS AND PUT CRIMINALS BEHIND BARS EVEN FOR THE SMALLEST VIOLENCE EVEN VERBAL VIOLENCE ! -

MY FAVORITE AREA OF BR. MY FUCKING AUNT LIVED IN THIS ZIP CODE.

so many black people there
-
Is it true that the poor people with good diction - speech - have the better jobs. Hint, hint.
-
god will not feed you, you morons, what you need are jobs
-
Aw crap. Somehow I let these poor black folk be poor all the way from Indiana, because I'm white. I'm sorry, black student. I try to turn off my "Keep A Brotha Down" switch, but my ancestors who were in Germany, Canada, Scotland and even the Irish ones who were slaves themselves but, you know, still white...keep reaching through time and flipping the switch back on. I'm such a prick.

This is what's wrong with America! Jobs aren't the problem, it's the people who are applying. They are not qualified for the job.

Following your jesus cult wont solve shit
-
That's it! I better move to the U.K. and away from the United States with my dual citizenship. At least there is no crime in Great Britain or England. Maybe I'll try London. Where everyone is happy and drinks tea.

Life is sweet in western NC USA :),the neighbors make the neighborhood.............
Luton and London look much like this place!!! -
Its not actually all that bad if you know what your doing.

BBC doesn't really give a damn about the crime or poverty in Baton Rouge, its all about finding a good story to get attention which brings views and most importantly Money.. Its time for blacks in poverty areas of not just Baton Rouge or New Orleans, but any city in America with the same problems, to wake the hell up and realize "the white man" aint concerned with our problems. Once these bird brain negroes understand that and learn to stop hating themselves, then we can make some positive changes..

Did anyone do a spell check?

First of all I'm black! So, don't throw the racist card. Saying that the problem is racism or God is so ignorant. Why only black people complaining about this! Asian, Latinos... etc, they all suffering but still most Asians go to school and most Latinos go to work!!
If you are hungry or have bills to pay than get a job! If no one giving you a job then maybe that because you are an ignorant f##ker, or maybe you have a bad attitude. Go educate yourself and learn something!
Education is the key to succeed. No God will make the society better, but education always does.
The lack of fatherhood is another issue too, but is not an excuse! Actually, a lot of other kids are growing in a single mother homes too and they didn't end up criminals.
The funny thing is that young man who mentioned that he was the only kid with a father in his neighborhood, he became a musician!!!! I'm not saying it's a bad thing but isn't that remarkable that most of the successful ones usually became entertainers nothing more!!!
I guess we should for ones blame our selves for a change and maybe.....! Who knows?! -
Racism if for sure one! I'm am going through some racist bullshit here in Logansport Indiana, , never come here, Tell me where you know racism is at?

'why can't we all get along' yeah tell that too ISIS.
