David Anderson no it’s you people who destroy it, tell a baby he’s X and he’ll grow up as X. Race has nothing to do with behavioral issues like this, it’s made from the culture that the black community has been given not inherited. The moment we can truly see each tribe as the same can we not profile each other and look at everyone as individuals not a group. In history everyone is always opposed to people they perceive as different but can we tell the difference between these tribes now one wears a hat one doesn’t so because this fact we can alienate the other people as not like us
I even suspect she's probably "pocketing" some of that money for "herself" and "her family". I hope that also gets looked into as well.

Integration was a bad idea for blacks. What needs to happen is we need to file lawsuits to get more funding. If we can get more funding we can boost schools in black communities and create black scholars
rc car true, but you can also blame the students for not taking advantage of the free education that is given even though the educational system is bad
Francesca Bailey What is there to take advantage of if the education system is bad? “Take advantage of expired milk. Other person: but it’s expired and bad for my health. Other person: but it’s free.” Is basically what your saying.
@Victor theres no other explanation other than blatant racism and that's as a social worker who works heavily with the public school system and has multiple degrees in sociology social work and legal studies. Theres multiple direct connections between race, lack of funding in predominantly black schools, over criminalization of black people for lying about their address to get their children into better school zones, and theres the fun fact new prison sizes are built off the classroom sizes of predominantly black 1st grade classroom sizes. The excuse is black communities dont pay as much taxes and the school zones are funded based on that however can we EVER expect minority communities to pay more taxes and make enough money to do so if they arent given true equal education? Especially sense EVERY educator knows theres a direct correlation between a lack of education and poverty which leads to criminal activity.
Maaan Ellen just donated 50,000 to my kids school (which the district has ignored for decades) and deep in my heart i would rather these kids have😢 this is heartbreaking

Sudhir Kakar do not assume that just because a population of black people are not responsible, the entire black population is not responsible. You seem to have no idea how degrading and racist you are being by grouping one culture together and basically calling them a bunch of uneducated poor sluts. The reason it is like this is because of the ongoing rigging and racism in America, try not to be so ignorant next time you try to come up with something smart to say.

@@davidlafleche1142 are you kidding me? Why should her father do anything in the first place, it is the responsibility of the state to provide education. Why? BECAUSE IT IS FOR THE INTEREST OF THE STATE.

@@shawnfredericks5563 that's absolutely untrue lol.

Countries like Liberia were NEVER colonized, and remain among the poorest still. Africa is still stuck in a malthusian trap, and it's only by the grace of white men that its population cap has been allowed to increase.
That school onlly has 150 people in it sp there budget is alot less then the pther schools sp there going to get bairley any money its not racist its just that little schools arent going to get as mutch money two spends

@Ana Maria that is because of a parenting problem and how the schools have trouble keeping them focused. When will America learn that putting kids on a chair and making them listen to lectures or read chapter books not work? Schools focus on the cheap way to teach students and give standardized tests that does not help the student whatsoever but only cause stress and make them feel like dropping out is easier than completing school. How would I know this? Because I've been paying attention to the careless students in my school.
Our ancestors didn’t wait for people to fix things for them, they *MADE* it happen. You have to take what you want in this world by force because people will not help you or hand you anything especially if you’re black or brown. Racism never died and the social constructs that followed never died. These communities were left like this intentionally knowing that blacks couldn’t afford to move and couldn’t afford the upkeep. You have to invest in your communities though. Even if you spend every last cent, you have to. Even if you have to do it yourself you have to because these kids are the future. Give them some form of motivation. Begging for change never made it happen. 🤷🏽♀️
We integrated and Brainwashed now our ancestors were segregated thats why we were united our problem we think we free but we not we work in the land of our captors just cause the chains aint on our necks n feet we think life is great we free nope we not but its time too be United Babylon we in last days our ancestors are crying in they grave of stupidity we do daily and they suffered died brutal deaths not for this B.S. of today
If it's a poor area it will likely stay like that. The ones who make something of themselves will move out and the ones who are struggling will move in. The motivation for most is to get out of those areas since they're more likely to be riddled with crime and gangs.
Take things how exactly? Where do children take an education? Where do the parents of children take an education for their children when they're impoverished and disenfranchised and greatly punished even when they do simple things like lie about where their child lives for example so they can go to a better school. Its EASY af to say "take what you want" and not have any real plans as to how entire communities can do this.
Very true. As a black woman who went to school at a white school and a black school, the difference is stark. The white schools are prestige, everything new. The black schools didn’t have a/c or heat in the winter, textbooks were scarce, windows broken, mold you name it. I didn’t even learn Geometry because my teacher wasn’t certified to even teach it! As much as I loved it, I was the smartest in all my classes because they were severely behind the white school I had come from. Something has to be done
That's because Black schools are run by Democrats and refuse school choice! The conundrum is, why do Black people continue to vote Democrat, when the Democrats haven't done a damn thing for Black people since the War on Poverty begun in the 60's? Democrats have been promising they were going to fix the problem in the inner cities and yet nothing, but thank you for your vote!
Sudhir Kakar The parenting responsibility? Don’t even try to bring that up, the girl with the two braids seems to have a perfect capability of achieving in school. Do you know what the problem is?

Oh, come on!!! The Civil Rights Act of 1964 happened in........like the 60s. That was like, 200 years ago and everyone KNOWS that all racism and bigotry and racially based systemic issues went away the next day.
Not sure anyone claims racism here. ( yeah I am ). Are you not aware that all whites schools are not the same? Not sure why people are using the physical condition of the schools as an excuse. If you switched the physical schools that these kids went to do you actually think the output would change? Fff why are liberals so slow? It is culture and iq

@@almanac520 if Schools are private how are the kids their assets? They will never work for the school so it would be cheaper to collect money and then cut corners on Education.

Sudhir Kakar it’s funny that you’re saying this about a minority in a majority community, since your name tells me that you are most certainly a minority. It’s also a bit tough to be a “good successful parent” when you are born in a generation where people like you refuse to believe the world that, believe it or not, tends to repeat its own history.

We as a people need to do better for our own. We need to start by having black teachers, builders, financial advisors etc so we do not have to depend on white people for the things we need. We are POWERFUL people and need to take care of our own. We did it back in the day and need to do it now. What some need to understand is if we did segregate ourselves we would flourish to our potential.
Or maybe not many black people engage in finance or jobs in education as much as white people so it would be more difficult to find them especially in a white majority country?
@Felicia Finally, many blacks are waking up to who we REALLY are before being taken into slavery, the true Judahites/Israelites of the Bible. MLK didn't know this but the entire biblical narrative consists of Israel (you know them currently as "black" people) being taken into slavery (scattered among the "nations"), held captive under oppression and hatred, killed with impunity by their oppressors, and then freed in an ongoing cycle as they continue to rebel against their father who is in the heavens (outer space and/or beyond as we would call it). It's all prophecy. It's always been God vs. Satan, Israel vs. the nations, The church (which is actually Israel under different terminology) vs. the "world" (actually the "nations" under different terminology), the children of God/children of light (the Israelites) vs. the children of the Devil/children of darkness (the people of the world), the sheep vs. the goats, the wheat vs. the tares, and on and on. In fact, the rest of the nations are actually judged by the Lord BASED ON how they treated HIS people, his brothers and sisters (your so called blacks). The current White World Order is scheduled to be the last people under Satan's power, to hold them in the lands where they've been scattered through slavery (Trans-Atlantic slave trade). White people's cup of captivity/slavery, oppression, injustice, murdering with impunity (getting away with it), and hatred is almost full, then they will receive their recompense and punishment as will all nations that had their hands in it, according to the measure they participated. Ultimately, compared to the "black" men and women that will be arising in the future, especially the messiah himself, you're gonna wish you were still dealing with MLK, hahahahahaha. The comments that the young black girl in the video referenced her friends who went to the other predominantly white school heard are indicative of the sentiments and dispositions of whites here in the U.S., and pretty much worldwide, as a collective group. That's why in order for there to be peace, godliness, goodness, fruitfulness, etc. on the earth, white people as a collective MUST be rendered powerless and their White World Order destroyed once and for all. Obviously many actual white people would be destroyed in that process, but as it is written, "the cities (plural) of the nations (plural) FELL" and "the slain of the Lord will be many".
YT Responses your a troll right lol. “White people Must be powerless” I’m white and I’ve done nothing to hold black people back ever, keep blaming I on your race for why you won’t succeed
@Natural Gaming I’m black and the people in this comment section are actually idiotic. Suggesting that segregation is still prevalent when it’s ILLEGAL
Kyle E this statement is really not true. I don’t think a single black person has woken up and said “maybe segregation was better.” During that time, most high schools for black kids probably looked exactly like Block High School. They didn’t have equal opportunities in education, and that’s the same thing happening with schools like this. The only reason these people are talking about building our own black schools with better education, is because the government and the system obviously isn’t going to help us.
@@sunnyou5832 ikr I don't understand the idea of equal money like I live in a majority Chinese area my taxes should fund the majority Chinese school not some other school
This breaks my heart. These children are our future and they haven’t been given a fair shot when it comes to their education. I would bet my bottom dollar that some of them have the most brilliant brains but haven’t been given the essential tools to develop them. It’s sad that even still we’re going through this. Smh.

I don’t know if this thing, so-called inequality will ever change, but I do hope for everyone's betterment.
Blacks, Asians, and Latinos are also Americans. Maybe you should just express your view to its full extent by saying "White Americans". However, I would like to argue that Black, Asian, and Latino racially discriminate just as much as white Americans do.
and people argue that "its because the neighborhoods don't work hard enough". Like wtf African-Americans have been breaking their backs for this godforsaken country and y'all are complaining about them not working hard enough? WTF. They've been denied basic rights for centuries

Harrisonburg is cranking out more potential because of how unfair the school funding is. If Block high school was repaired into a better learning environment, and they had teachers who could teach the correct subjects, then you can bet the students of Block high school would show they have just as much potential as any other high school in the area. And you could also bet the number of students who went to college after graduating from there would increase as well. In the end the condition of the school's environment determines the students potentials which then in turn determines funding for the school. It's a cycle that will never end unless someone works towards ending it, or at least get it to change somehow for the better.
@@rickebare1126 not really considering they gave us the stats of how many black students are enrolled in Block high compared to those in Harrisonburg. Harrisonburg is a white dominated school, while Block is a black dominated school. In a way there is segregation going on here. And yes segregation still does happen in schools today, just not as much as it did in the past.
@Sudhir Kakar so you have to be rich to have kids? Only the rich upper class that can afford private school should have kids, these dirty peasants who pay taxes shouldn't expect their public schools to adequately teach their children.
@Sudhir Kakar sorry that the backwards policies that it looks like you support like free trade, low minimum wage, the expensive cost of going to the doctor and the cost of going to college to try and improve your life in the first place has left them with basically no money to contribute, nice try. So you're going to call poor people moochers for wanting proper education but youre just going to ignore the biggest moochers in this country which undoubtly is the big corporations that lobby our politicians for special treatment and corporate welfare, our oil companies and military industrial complex that lobby our politicians to go into unnecessary wars so that they can make their profit off the deaths of our young soldiers and the deaths of civilians, those are the moochers, not people who want education. Live without the labor they produce for a month and very quickly you wouldnt see our economy looking as pretty.
This is nothing new in the south. I grew up in Mississippi only a few miles north of Louisiana. All the schools in Southern part of county were decrepit. We had the same issue were teachers were uncertified and buildings were unsafe, the elementary had to be shut down because of this however it was turned into the alternative school aka where you had to go for ISS. Majority of students were black, Im white myself. I think there was maybe 10 to 15 white students altogether. The northern part of the county however was a slightly different story but that was due to a much higher income of family lived there. They had their own problems though since they had to travel to our school for vo tech. It was a little weird though looking in school books and seeing when school was segregated. Some of the stuedents became teachers that now work with each other. The problem was not racism but state unwilling allocated funds for education. Our teachers were frustrated by this. It was ridiculous thinking students had to travel 30+ by bus mins just to go to a class. The problems not segregation and racism but the southern leaders unwilling to allocate funds for education.
Sudhir Kakar Do refugees automatically get rich when they come to America? Because if not I’d recommend you’d hold off on having kids, since freedom leads to failure.
That just made me grateful because I'm always complaining about how my teacher is getting me in trouble but now I'm like ur complaining about how u getting in trouble but at least having education I never thought of it like that
There really isn't many of these schools around, I don't see why this hasn't been fixed with tax dollars yet which really wouldn't require a lot of. I think that someone is not doing their job causing this to happen.
When attending public high school in Harrisburg, Pa in the 90’s they didn’t even have books for us as students. Teachers were from outside the city and did not care.
Honestly I’ve been to a black school and it’s true almost all black schools are run down but then I moved to a white private school and realized it’s the mentality and how people were raised I noticed at the black school I went to pretty much everyone had that mentality that because of the white man and what they did we can’t succeed but when I came to a white school and made friends there I realized their mentality is that if I work hard enough I can achieve college or get a good job and the campus at the black school that I went to was even nicer than the white schools campus but still because of that mentality the white school that i attend right now is harder for me to be in the top 10% than it was for me to make the 5% at that black school I went to for 3 years!
Not always true. I lived in a poor area at some point, but the school was revamped/renovated with several extra learning programs (Saturday school so kids falling behind could catch up) new computers, classes, books, multiple libraries, etc. It's because the community & district, albeit poor, knows it's worth investing in schools.
Lottery revenue for schools is a sham as well. It allows state governments to cut taxes to the bone and place more of the school funding burden on the lottery.
I went to a majority black school and everyone got MacBooks the school was pretty much brand new. They had 4 40 inch flat screen tv's in every class. It's not a race issue but a rural/urban issue. White majority schools in rural areas with no money look the same as Block.
The only segregation i see is things that ONLY black people can go to. There are black graduations, black colleges, and so on. These people could go to a better school if they moved, but i understand that they might not have the money to do so.
I went to a school 50 miles north of NYC and we had similar conditions. The teachers we had in our middle schools were teaching English and science or math and history. We didn’t even have sports because they cut the programs
This is weird 'cuz my nation is a developing 2nd world country and our schools are mostly doing OK building-wise. It' s weird because you always hear about the powerful and great west and then you see this. That building is unacceptable I wish all the luck and determination to the students and their parents. The pay for schools is unjust everywhere and I always wondered why that is.
@Sudhir Kakar I guess it really depends where you go to school... but still I think there are some problems in the system when your teachers have to work two jobs to get by, again depends which school :/
@Sudhir Kakar we know you have strong feelings against black people, but argue more with logic than feelings ok, I know it's very hard for conservatives to argue with facts because they argue with feelings about things they hate
A district is like a parent and the schools are like their children. It will be easy to pick out the schools (favored children) getting high attention from the district, yet it will also be easy to pick out the schools (mistreated children) that are being kicked to the curb and neglected.
I was the only white kid at a black school growing up. 1st day of class 3 kids got expelled for fighting selling a gun and selling drugs. They fought everyday, backtalked the teacher trying to educate them. Didn’t wanna be there.. nobody did.
Aye palm but do you know why they act like that. Do you know there struggles they go through at home. How they don’t have food every night, lights, or run water.

Race has nothing to do with behavioral issues like this, it’s made from the culture that the black community has been given not inherited. The moment we can truly see each tribe as the same can we not profile each other and look at everyone as individuals not a group. In history everyone is always opposed to people they perceive as different but can we tell the difference between these tribes now one wears a hat one doesn’t so because this fact we can alienate the other people as not like us
I even suspect she's probably "pocketing" some of that money for "herself" and "her family". I hope that also gets looked into as well.

Integration was a bad idea for blacks. What needs to happen is we need to file lawsuits to get more funding. If we can get more funding we can boost schools in black communities and create black scholars

@Victor theres no other explanation other than blatant racism and that's as a social worker who works heavily with the public school system and has multiple degrees in sociology social work and legal studies. Theres multiple direct connections between race, lack of funding in predominantly black schools, over criminalization of black people for lying about their address to get their children into better school zones, and theres the fun fact new prison sizes are built off the classroom sizes of predominantly black 1st grade classroom sizes. The excuse is black communities dont pay as much taxes and the school zones are funded based on that however can we EVER expect minority communities to pay more taxes and make enough money to do so if they arent given true equal education? Especially sense EVERY educator knows theres a direct correlation between a lack of education and poverty which leads to criminal activity.

Our ancestors didn’t wait for people to fix things for them, they *MADE* it happen. You have to take what you want in this world by force because people will not help you or hand you anything especially if you’re black or brown. Racism never died and the social constructs that followed never died. These communities were left like this intentionally knowing that blacks couldn’t afford to move and couldn’t afford the upkeep. You have to invest in your communities though. Even if you spend every last cent, you have to. Even if you have to do it yourself you have to because these kids are the future. Give them some form of motivation. Begging for change never made it happen. 🤷🏽♀️

If it's a poor area it will likely stay like that. The ones who make something of themselves will move out and the ones who are struggling will move in. The motivation for most is to get out of those areas since they're more likely to be riddled with crime and gangs.
Take things how exactly? Where do children take an education? Where do the parents of children take an education for their children when they're impoverished and disenfranchised and greatly punished even when they do simple things like lie about where their child lives for example so they can go to a better school. Its EASY af to say "take what you want" and not have any real plans as to how entire communities can do this.
Very true. As a black woman who went to school at a white school and a black school, the difference is stark. The white schools are prestige, everything new. The black schools didn’t have a/c or heat in the winter, textbooks were scarce, windows broken, mold you name it. I didn’t even learn Geometry because my teacher wasn’t certified to even teach it! As much as I loved it, I was the smartest in all my classes because they were severely behind the white school I had come from. Something has to be done
That's because Black schools are run by Democrats and refuse school choice! The conundrum is, why do Black people continue to vote Democrat, when the Democrats haven't done a damn thing for Black people since the War on Poverty begun in the 60's? Democrats have been promising they were going to fix the problem in the inner cities and yet nothing, but thank you for your vote!

We are POWERFUL people and need to take care of our own. We did it back in the day and need to do it now. What some need to understand is if we did segregate ourselves we would flourish to our potential.
Or maybe not many black people engage in finance or jobs in education as much as white people so it would be more difficult to find them especially in a white majority country?
@Felicia
Finally, many blacks are waking up to who we REALLY are before being taken into slavery, the true Judahites/Israelites of the Bible. MLK didn't know this but the entire biblical narrative consists of Israel (you know them currently as "black" people) being taken into slavery (scattered among the "nations"), held captive under oppression and hatred, killed with impunity by their oppressors, and then freed in an ongoing cycle as they continue to rebel against their father who is in the heavens (outer space and/or beyond as we would call it). It's all prophecy. It's always been God vs. Satan, Israel vs. the nations, The church (which is actually Israel under different terminology) vs. the "world" (actually the "nations" under different terminology), the children of God/children of light (the Israelites) vs. the children of the Devil/children of darkness (the people of the world), the sheep vs. the goats, the wheat vs. the tares, and on and on. In fact, the rest of the nations are actually judged by the Lord BASED ON how they treated HIS people, his brothers and sisters (your so called blacks).
The current White World Order is scheduled to be the last people under Satan's power, to hold them in the lands where they've been scattered through slavery (Trans-Atlantic slave trade). White people's cup of captivity/slavery, oppression, injustice, murdering with impunity (getting away with it), and hatred is almost full, then they will receive their recompense and punishment as will all nations that had their hands in it, according to the measure they participated.
Ultimately, compared to the "black" men and women that will be arising in the future, especially the messiah himself, you're gonna wish you were still dealing with MLK, hahahahahaha. The comments that the young black girl in the video referenced her friends who went to the other predominantly white school heard are indicative of the sentiments and dispositions of whites here in the U.S., and pretty much worldwide, as a collective group. That's why in order for there to be peace, godliness, goodness, fruitfulness, etc. on the earth, white people as a collective MUST be rendered powerless and their White World Order destroyed once and for all. Obviously many actual white people would be destroyed in that process, but as it is written, "the cities (plural) of the nations (plural) FELL" and "the slain of the Lord will be many".
YT Responses your a troll right lol. “White people Must be powerless” I’m white and I’ve done nothing to hold black people back ever, keep blaming I on your race for why you won’t succeed
@Natural Gaming I’m black and the people in this comment section are actually idiotic. Suggesting that segregation is still prevalent when it’s ILLEGAL
Kyle E this statement is really not true. I don’t think a single black person has woken up and said “maybe segregation was better.” During that time, most high schools for black kids probably looked exactly like Block High School. They didn’t have equal opportunities in education, and that’s the same thing happening with schools like this. The only reason these people are talking about building our own black schools with better education, is because the government and the system obviously isn’t going to help us.
They have a gofundme/block-school-building-and-books-fund if you want to help.

To get those kids back on path? Sure we like to think thats how things should be but it isnt. Survival of thevfittedt bud. Not survival of the weak
Garrett Howard survival of the fittest? That philosophy doesn’t work in schools. How it goes now, minorities don’t even get a chance to be part of the fight to survive. I can tell these situations these kids deal with dont effect you. So I understand why you respond with such an ignorant statement. White privilege at its best
Education is way more powerful than a wall
Nope. Education doesnt keep economic migrants out.neither will stricter laws when california is a sanctuary state
Sometimes i feel like American people are so ignorant i feel ashamed of what they do/say to black, asian, and Mexican people like that really hurts me. It actually changed my perspective over white people they can have anything they want they can do things they want. I know there's american people who don't do anything that i just said. I just feel like most of us don't feel equal around each other. Each day i keep wondering if this will ever end. Sometimes I just wonder if I should even live. Anyone who sees this message please don't take my message as a
Offensive thing it's just my opinion.
I get your point... I think about this all the time and it makes me sad, but I just changed how I look on people through looking more on what’s really is inside and neglecting whatever their skin color or appearance may be... I don’t know if this thing, so-called inequality will ever change, but I do hope for everyone's betterment.
I understand completely.
Make her
MN what
Blacks, Asians, and Latinos are also Americans. Maybe you should just express your view to its full extent by saying "White Americans". However, I would like to argue that Black, Asian, and Latino racially discriminate just as much as white Americans do.
The superintendent gave her answer by skipping out. Terrible. My heart goes out to the families and their children. It's just plain wrong!
Yea its because their black
You can tell they want to learn and want to teach. They are just having resources denied to them because of systemic racism. Point blank period.
and people argue that "its because the neighborhoods don't work hard enough". Like wtf African-Americans have been breaking their backs for this godforsaken country and y'all are complaining about them not working hard enough? WTF. They've been denied basic rights for centuries
@Angel S which means that we have massive disparities in our education system. This means that the national government needs to step up.
Schools in Nevada are just as bad that’s why we’re 50th 🤦♀️
Dolly Showboaty very true
Lol it’s like that at all white schools too my dude
The similarities between here and my school is disturbing and it's even more disturbing that I find it to be normal..
My kids goes to school where the majority is black. My youngest was made fun of and bullied over his color but I was told it wasn't appropriate for us to file a claim since we were white. He's in the same school board but different school and doing well now. His friends are mixed and they gain so much from the coeducation. I wish no child gets to experience discrimination based on skin color or financial background.

@@felimryan5651 saying white privilege doesn't exist is the same as saying racism doesn't exist
@@aidanjames6368 then explain to me, how does white privilege exist?
@@felimryan5651 well, many business owners or bosses are more likely to hire a white person over a minority, because they are racist. And I've never heard of a cop giving a black person a warning
@@aidanjames6368 please give me an example of one business doing this. Also I suggest that the black person comment was sarcasm, so if it is you are saying black people should be above the law.

You know its sad my home state of indiana isn't very well known but now the only reason we are in the news is because of our governors being idiots and cutting school funding. That was a clip from my state in the upper right corner at 0:54.
Sad that only 22 grand to fix a school.
I feel sorry for the kids who go there
22 grand for three schools.
20 grand for the rich school.
@@samanthapeters8314 so if you spread that one school that gets 20 g money around to the other schools, now you have 4 schools that will be too broke to do anything. So do you have one good school and 3 poors schools and hope that the one good school can attract federal money are just have 4 poor schools.
Only seven grand was given to the black school that 22 Grand is for the whole community schools in total
Unpopular opinion:
it’s about economic classes not skin color.
True, but there is a thin line to that, yes, it is about economic classes, but when you have a majority of african americans in poverty....it's when you start to ask yourself if race has SOMETHING to do
They try to make everything about race
Nathan Haskell well hunny it is about race because black people are more likely to be in poverty....
Yeah right, the system was built this way and yes it’s not about skin color, it’s because african Americans are the children of Israel. Systematic racism is very real
Rural lousiana and not about race? 🙄
Maybe Harrisonburg has more funding because Harrisonburg cranks out more potential
Harrisonburg is cranking out more potential because of how unfair the school funding is. If Block high school was repaired into a better learning environment, and they had teachers who could teach the correct subjects, then you can bet the students of Block high school would show they have just as much potential as any other high school in the area. And you could also bet the number of students who went to college after graduating from there would increase as well. In the end the condition of the school's environment determines the students potentials which then in turn determines funding for the school. It's a cycle that will never end unless someone works towards ending it, or at least get it to change somehow for the better.
@@courtneymack8320 yeah, but complaining its segregation is bs
@@rickebare1126 not really considering they gave us the stats of how many black students are enrolled in Block high compared to those in Harrisonburg. Harrisonburg is a white dominated school, while Block is a black dominated school. In a way there is segregation going on here. And yes segregation still does happen in schools today, just not as much as it did in the past.
@@courtneymack8320 but the "segregation" is based on where they live, not race
Why is a run down high school in a run down neighborhood surprising? Idk about you guys but demographics are crucial here.
Salvador Amaya so is the political party that runs that district...
White flight is the same where I live in Conecuh County Alabama
the two schools are in the same school district but receive wildly different funding
take a wild guess which one gets the lion's share of the money.
@@toddpa-c3826 political parties dont inherently run the districs just by existing, schooling is seperate from politics
This is a cultural difference. Check these students homes. I guarantee the students homes look similar to their school.
Somebody start a go fund me page.
The pentagon just approved $800 billion for defense budget for 2019
Have a nice day!
its a state issue not a federal states can apply for extra grants a special ways but as a citizen of LA most of our school are like this
THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THOUGH!!
ik, and they say the wealth gap aint an issue
Not the richest , The STUPIDEST country in the world.
Loool
Were poor, we have no money. we have a debit we can never pay back. How exactly are we rich?
It is not only black students tho it’s all students attending
For many in these type of communities the military is their only escape college is really not a choice and it sucks they never stood a chance.
Children shouldn’t have to beg for change in their schools from adults
This is exactly what people mean by systemic oppression. You set these kids up to fail.
Its changed from seperate but equal to seperately funded but equal.
YES
@Sudhir Kakar so you have to be rich to have kids? Only the rich upper class that can afford private school should have kids, these dirty peasants who pay taxes shouldn't expect their public schools to adequately teach their children.
@Sudhir Kakar sorry that the backwards policies that it looks like you support like free trade, low minimum wage, the expensive cost of going to the doctor and the cost of going to college to try and improve your life in the first place has left them with basically no money to contribute, nice try. So you're going to call poor people moochers for wanting proper education but youre just going to ignore the biggest moochers in this country which undoubtly is the big corporations that lobby our politicians for special treatment and corporate welfare, our oil companies and military industrial complex that lobby our politicians to go into unnecessary wars so that they can make their profit off the deaths of our young soldiers and the deaths of civilians, those are the moochers, not people who want education. Live without the labor they produce for a month and very quickly you wouldnt see our economy looking as pretty.
This is nothing new in the south. I grew up in Mississippi only a few miles north of Louisiana. All the schools in Southern part of county were decrepit. We had the same issue were teachers were uncertified and buildings were unsafe, the elementary had to be shut down because of this however it was turned into the alternative school aka where you had to go for ISS. Majority of students were black, Im white myself. I think there was maybe 10 to 15 white students altogether. The northern part of the county however was a slightly different story but that was due to a much higher income of family lived there. They had their own problems though since they had to travel to our school for vo tech. It was a little weird though looking in school books and seeing when school was segregated. Some of the stuedents became teachers that now work with each other. The problem was not racism but state unwilling allocated funds for education. Our teachers were frustrated by this. It was ridiculous thinking students had to travel 30+ by bus mins just to go to a class. The problems not segregation and racism but the southern leaders unwilling to allocate funds for education.
The neighborhoods were pretty good before they moved in...
I'm born and raised in Senegal, I can definitely say I grew up in much better conditions than these poor souls.
Land of the free my @$!
Sudhir Kakar Do refugees automatically get rich when they come to America? Because if not I’d recommend you’d hold off on having kids, since freedom leads to failure.
That just made me grateful because I'm always complaining about how my teacher is getting me in trouble but now I'm like ur complaining about how u getting in trouble but at least having education I never thought of it like that
Fatima Rodriguez I’m going to try to stop complaining about school after seeing this! Good luck to you as well
There really isn't many of these schools around, I don't see why this hasn't been fixed with tax dollars yet which really wouldn't require a lot of. I think that someone is not doing their job causing this to happen.
When attending public high school in Harrisburg, Pa in the 90’s they didn’t even have books for us as students. Teachers were from outside the city and did not care.
Honestly I’ve been to a black school and it’s true almost all black schools are run down but then I moved to a white private school and realized it’s the mentality and how people were raised I noticed at the black school I went to pretty much everyone had that mentality that because of the white man and what they did we can’t succeed but when I came to a white school and made friends there I realized their mentality is that if I work hard enough I can achieve college or get a good job and the campus at the black school that I went to was even nicer than the white schools campus but still because of that mentality the white school that i attend right now is harder for me to be in the top 10% than it was for me to make the 5% at that black school I went to for 3 years!
Mhn
Please stfu dumbass.
Wow I’m glad I don’t live in America
Its ALL about the money, the budget. If your in a low income town best believe your education will be low as well.
Not always true. I lived in a poor area at some point, but the school was revamped/renovated with several extra learning programs (Saturday school so kids falling behind could catch up) new computers, classes, books, multiple libraries, etc. It's because the community & district, albeit poor, knows it's worth investing in schools.
empresstina876 the town was low income, but how come one school was obviously prioritized over the other? Hmm...
Lottery revenue for schools is a sham as well. It allows state governments to cut taxes to the bone and place more of the school funding burden on the lottery.
Thank you, it's not always about race. Poor people have poor services.
I went to a majority black school and everyone got MacBooks the school was pretty much brand new. They had 4 40 inch flat screen tv's in every class. It's not a race issue but a rural/urban issue. White majority schools in rural areas with no money look the same as Block.
B l o c k
The only segregation i see is things that ONLY black people can go to. There are black graduations, black colleges, and so on. These people could go to a better school if they moved, but i understand that they might not have the money to do so.
I went to a school 50 miles north of NYC and we had similar conditions. The teachers we had in our middle schools were teaching English and science or math and history. We didn’t even have sports because they cut the programs
I hope y’all follow up on this with another piece
“Moral character” lol yeah right
This is weird 'cuz my nation is a developing 2nd world country and our schools are mostly doing OK building-wise. It' s weird because you always hear about the powerful and great west and then you see this. That building is unacceptable I wish all the luck and determination to the students and their parents. The pay for schools is unjust everywhere and I always wondered why that is.
@Sudhir Kakar I guess it really depends where you go to school... but still I think there are some problems in the system when your teachers have to work two jobs to get by, again depends which school :/
@Sudhir Kakar we know you have strong feelings against black people, but argue more with logic than feelings ok, I know it's very hard for conservatives to argue with facts because they argue with feelings about things they hate
Yeah you see what the US wants you to see. Most of us are poor.
Y’all be the same ones not taking care of your school
A district is like a parent and the schools are like their children. It will be easy to pick out the schools (favored children) getting high attention from the district, yet it will also be easy to pick out the schools (mistreated children) that are being kicked to the curb and neglected.
I was the only white kid at a black school growing up. 1st day of class 3 kids got expelled for fighting selling a gun and selling drugs. They fought everyday, backtalked the teacher trying to educate them. Didn’t wanna be there.. nobody did.
Aye palm but do you know why they act like that. Do you know there struggles they go through at home. How they don’t have food every night, lights, or run water. You’re not black and you don’t understand the struggle. I’m not saying everything WE do is right, but psychologically it makes since it’s the environment.
Ok and what exactly does that have to do with this video??..
Rashellexo if you don’t understand then we’re not meant to be on the same page.. 😀 no big deal
@@foxyjai if you would have waited until you got your finances together and you got married to have kids maybe you could pay your bills. The typical black woman will always put herself in a very bad situation then blame everyone else for the situation instead of being accountable and learning from her mistakes. The typical black woman lacks wisdom and basic common sense so of course her progeny will suffer from her perpetually stupidity.
You don’t have to be black to go through the struggles of poverty. Smh.
I live in Louisiana and this is very true🤦♀️🤦♀️
Sooo sad why does nobody help??
Every school in nyc. I don’t see a difference
That's bad too! Kids aren't getting the education they need
