in America and guess who's number four. San Bernardino is on the list, yes it's San Bernardino so you know what. it means it means we're leaving now the world don't move to the beat it's just a drum what might be right for you may not be right for some a man is born he's not a man of means then you come along and he like he's looking out for me because we have to get out people we have to get out people we have to get out people we have to get out people ruin the world the

ghetto

such a powerful word in the American language only the word can generate racial tensions and political arguments the term Originally referred to large Jewish neighborhoods in Europe and was later used to describe large Jewish neighborhoods in New York City here in the United States.

Then, in the early 1900s, black people began using the word ghetto to describe their own racial segregation. They were being unfairly separated from whites. communities and protested because they had to live in the ghetto, while white people lived here in their own part of the city, the term stuck now, before we get too far, let's define what a ghetto is, this is the actual definition, like this let's not start with the negative comments people a ghetto is now defined as an urban neighborhood with criminal gang violence and extreme poverty and with a significant number of minority citizens living in it, so it's not too difficult to measure those things to see what American

cities

are the

most

ghettos to do. so we just had to measure the places with those things and the places we will mention won't be a big surprise, let's start at st.

Louis Missouri now of all cities was going to talk about st. Louis is the whitest, since we are measuring race as part of the actual definition of a ghetto, so the minority population is an important factor. Louis occupies one-hundredth of the 218 largest cities we measured, which means st. Louis is roughly in the middle of the list for the size of its minority population; It is whiter than it is not, but the factors that make St. Louis a true ghetto by the definition of a ghetto is poverty and crime st. Louis, as we have described before on this channel, is the fifth most violent place in the United States, where murders occur at a higher per capita rate than almost anywhere else in the country and the poverty rate of st.

Louis is ranked 37th highest in the country, so all of those factors make st. Louis or much of it, one of the real real ghettos in America, see how it works, don't bother, people. I was in st. Louis in December and drove all around downtown, it was quite nice, however all St. Louisans reminded me that I didn't visit the worst parts of st. Louis, we are on the north end of town here, maybe next time our next stop on our tour of America's ghetto will take us to the west coast for the first time to Oakland, California, now what stands out in Oakland is the poverty level in the Bay Area. a notoriously expensive place to live where people who earn big salaries still struggle to make ends meet here in oakland the poverty level is exactly one hundredth lower which means that on paper an entire city is not very poor, there are many parts of Oakland where the young rich Millennials are those who cannot afford to live across the bay in San Francisco and then there is the rest of Oakland.

There are large parts of the city where people live in poverty, in some neighborhoods that number is almost half; It is also estimated that about 2% of all housing units in Oakland are considered public housing or projects, so Oakland is somewhere between the haves and have-nots. Crime-wise, Oakland ranks 16th in the nation for everything from murders to car thefts, and 71% of Oakland is considered non-wife, add them all up and Oakland is a true American ghetto. I've seen most of the worst areas of Oakland. I mean, you go to an Ace or Raiders game at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum and you walk on a bridge and this whole area is full of homeless people, panhandlers, scammers. and bullies you learn not to make eye contact with them and you just get on the train and go home you get a superstar, that's what you come from a BA reaching for the stars run away with me to another place we won't go too far for our next stop in the ghetto, this is Stockton California, of course, Stockton ranks high in terms of minority population.

California is second only to Hawaii in the number of minorities in the state. In fact, California is one of four states with a minority majority, that is, whites. The population is less than the minority population here in Stockton, the Hispanic population is 40%, which is only 50th, but if you look at the Central Valley of California as a whole, five of the top 50 are in This region mainly due to the large number of farms, the majority of Hispanics here are Mexican. As for poverty, Stockton isn't that high, only ranking in the top 25%, but the violence here is terrible.

Stockton ranks 10th in the United States for violent crime per capita, now homelessness, trash littering the streets, rude people, high unemployment. gangs Stockton has all these things that we don't measure but they support the classification of Stockton one of my best friends one who is in Stockton but Mattie Shannon I don't think Matt was shot, she left him in Memphis and he got shot On his own, we'll talk about Memphis later in this video, though Mrs. mappy, can we look for one? I think it's possible that he's still alive. Yes, we will look for it. I promise.

Okay, that's a little sad. Now we have to go and we have all this pressure to find Karen's ex-boyfriend, but for now it is. It's time to visit one of our nation's most infamous ghettos tomorrow here in Baltimore things are not going very well, it is the fourth most violent place in the nation and Baltimore rivals St. Louis has the most murders in poverty per capita of the country, why isn't it nice here in general? Ranks third in the U.S. for public housing stock as a percentage of all housing, more than three percent of all homes here are reserved for low-income residents.

The Baltimore ghetto is the Senate aureus that HBO said its hit series The Wire in West Baltimore there's just something really really. sad areas here and some very desperate people here too. I visited Baltimore twice the first time I was downtown which is eerily quiet at night. I walked around to see Camden Yards and it was totally alone, it was a pretty clean center and there are some really nice things. restaurants along the coast, but then I got on a train to go to DC and it had like two exits out of downtown and it was bleak like mile after mile of terrible looking neighborhoods.

The second time I went to Baltimore I stopped to let my driver go to the bathroom we chose a Burger King in a really bad area the parking lot had about a dozen very shady people hanging out we didn't feel safe at all they just stared at us a little taken aback by how naïve we were anyway it's places like Baltimore that prompted President Trump to claim at a campaign rally in 2016 that our African American communities are in the absolute worst situation they've ever been in before taking a look at the city centers, you don't get an education, you don't get a job, you get shot. walking down the street, so anyway dr. former Trump-appointed Baltimore resident.

Ben Carson as our nation's Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to try to solve the problem, we wish him success. Hartford may not be a place you hear about very often, unless you're from Connecticut, then you know that very well. Could Hartford be a worse ghetto than Baltimore, well if you're measuring ghetto statistics then yes, Hartford has an 85 percent minority population, is the ninth poorest city in the country and ranks 26th in crime violent, all, but the crime figures are higher than Baltimore. Here are a couple of examples of How Statistics Prove Our Stereotypes About Modern American Cities.

The city with the most property crimes in the nation is Las Vegas, primarily due to the large number of casinos, but income levels in Las Vegas are far from low and in Brownsville, Texas, minority populations rank fourth . In the nation it's 95 percent and the poverty levels are huge, but it's relatively safe in Brownsville compared to the cities we've been talking about anyway, going back to Hartford, it carries the homicide nickname Hartford for a good reason. Right, there has been a lot of racial tension. here and if you're not from the northeast you probably haven't even heard of it.

Cleveland won't surprise anyone by making this list. Ohio's most infamous city has lost one hundred and twenty thousand people in the last 20 years. Here's why it's the second poorest city in the nation to begin with, thirty-five percent of the people here live in poverty and Cleveland has the most children living in poverty in the entire country. As for crime, it is not pretty either, the tu-16 is in ninth place. in the US for violent crimes where there have been one hundred and twenty murders here in the last two years in a row, of course the big problems were the huge industrial job losses and a continuing series of corrupt Democrat politicians and mayors.

I visited Cleveland once downtown wasn't the worst it was. a little rough around the edges but East Cleveland is scary. I stopped the left dogs, went to the bathroom and realized I was in a housing project and just like in Baltimore everyone looked at me like they were doing this crazy white guy in our hood bone thugs and harmony come from Cleveland Annie is not from here although it's a hard life for us it's a hard life for us instead of treating us they cheat on us kisses setec they kick us it's a hard life coming Fourth on our list is San Bernardino California what's my native city?

Well, I can surely attest that things in San Bernardino have certainly gone downhill. This was once a great place and then LA rejected the garbage and took over and it's been miserable ever since. all you YouTube commenters who say I'm entitled or that I'm an elitist who has nothing to do but belittle the misfortunes of others, you can all get behind, you know what I call my mom, I bet she's onto something. What to say about this too, so how has San Bernardino changed or is it worse or what's going on out there? Yeah, it sounds like a lot of San Bernardino huh, well, okay, it was good talking to you, I'll call you again.

A couple of days, okay, I love you, bye, there you go, my mom said it all, bye mom, back to the east coast, we'll go again when we get to Paterson, New Jersey, now Patterson is the only town in this list I've never been on but it's actually an actual ghetto by definition Paterson was once home to a Jewish population numbering 40,000 people and remember the original term ghetto referred to Jewish neighborhoods today Paterson ranks fifth for its minority population and the majority of that population is Hispanic, it is the tenth poorest city in the country. to where poverty levels are double the national average, however, Patterson's crime numbers are not as high as they once were, meaning that perhaps Paterson is becoming less ghetto than it was before.

Memphis Tennessee is our second most ghettoized city, it is downright terrible when it comes to crime, here it is the third most violent city in the country and it also ranks fifth for property crimes per capita. North Memphis is particularly bad. Some have called it the most dangerous community in the country. Graceland, on the south side of town, is unfortunately a really run-down area. gangs were so bad in Memphis that there is a Wikipedia page about it. He is their hope for Memphis. Of course, motivated community members are always looking for change. Recently, a community member spoke about crime, blight, and the lack of opportunities for young people here. the community to make this work and get our communities back to neighborhoods where we know our neighbors and we know the kids in the neighborhood, that's how I grew up and that's a place we need to get back to, okay?

It's mathematics, I see. I'm getting one out of here you met this gangbanger no you're not the map e1 is my prisoner of course many of you probably guessed that Detroit would be at the top of this list, Michigan's crown jewel takes the top spot in poverty, first in violent crimes and seventh for its minority population, where 90% of its residents are non-white. Detroit is trying to see its downtown undergoing major improvements, but as we haveDocumented many times before, there are large parts of the city that don't look like the United States, at least the United States of old. days, if you're curious which cities just missed the top ten spots, like Baton Rouge Jackson Mississippi Shreveport Louisiana Houston and New Orleans are also up there, that's three cities in Louisiana and you might be curious which places are the less ghettos.

Big cities in the US are Naperville, Illinois, Thousand Oaks, California, Gilbert, Arizona and Cary, North Carolina, hey I live right next to Cary, I guess I'll move so that's it, our tour for ghetto America, hope you get your fix, YouTube weirdos. Now to keep our karma in check I wanted to mention volunteering if you are looking for a way to give back consider helping the senior community there are already programs you can contact if you would like to donate your time and energy to help people greater. citizens, you will probably make new friends and also brighten someone's life.

Now the world does not move to the beat of a single drum. What might be right for you may not be right for some. A man is born, not a man. of media, then you come and he says: I'm taking care of myself because it takes people from the ghetto, it takes people from the ghetto, it takes people from the ghetto, ruining the world and everyone has a special kind of story, everyone finds a way to get ahead , hello hello. It doesn't matter that I don't have much. Well, you have yours and they have theirs and I'll take mine, then my family will be fine because you have to stand up, people ruin the world, yes, it takes people from the ghetto to rule the world. mmm world is our hope in San Bernardino, right?

Trying to fix things, yeah, okay, stay safe out there. Oh, and hey, for the record, I live in your basement. I had to clarify that because there are a lot of people who say I live in your basement.
