Speaker 1 (00:00):
The word Haitian is the new Nigga word.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
This is an invasion. That's all I have to say.
I love this town.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I love the people.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I love the immigrants. You're embarrassing your mother.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
You're feminine.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's my mother, all right.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Welcome to Charlotte Royce, a small four thousand person town
in Rusvelt, Pennsylvania. It's seen an influx of an estimated
two thousand, predominantly Haitian migrants in the last two years.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
And would you say your town has changed just a
little bit over the last couple of months.
Speaker 6 (00:33):
What the even is is it? After all these people
started coming in here, there is no future.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It's gone.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
We came here, we open businesses, we're paying taxes, were
contributed to the growth of this city.
Speaker 7 (00:47):
Hasn't been a drain on borough resources. We haven't seen
a spiking crime, we haven't seen any major problems. They
come here, they buy property, they open businesses, they work here,
they pay taxes.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Been a good thing for Charlotte Thatt, a good thing
for shadow.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Why are there thirty of them living in a house for.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Cheap to have them and they just like to give
you a snub?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Look at it.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
I want to they had.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
They want to do nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's terrible.
Speaker 8 (01:11):
They want the town revived, but it looks like they
didn't want the town revived by.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The darker color.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But what exactly is going on here? Are these migrants
training the local resources and destroying the town or did
they save it from certain death? Is this fear of
migrants from placing Americans just propaganda to collect votes out
of the fear of immigrants, or are the American people
slowly being replaced by new voter class flying in from
the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. I went to
(01:38):
Charlotroi myself to see how the town is handling the
influx of migrants, if they're assimilating to American culture, to
see if they're an asset or a liability to a
town that was mid death spiral monsieur uh see Grail Okay,
mazull messy love mozue interview.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Can I interview you okay in creole interview? Interview?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Okay, interview? What's going on here? I see the newest
a comment like a Haitian invasion?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Is that real? Is that overblown? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 9 (02:17):
I means, yeah, the immigrants always been here, but for
like last maybe year, maybe you got two. I mean
they've been heavy.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Did you notice like an overnight shift?
Speaker 9 (02:27):
Yeah, I may seem like it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
How did they get here?
Speaker 9 (02:30):
A good question. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Are their job opportunities out here?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I can't.
Speaker 9 (02:34):
I can't find a job to save my life.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
How are they getting jobs?
Speaker 9 (02:39):
I don't know. They all ride in them those bands
right there. Yeah, I mean you probably get paid dirt cheap,
more less than what we would want. Sure you know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Is there a friction between you, like longtime locals out
here and the newcomers?
Speaker 9 (02:50):
I mean, not me, but I mean I know there is.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Do they speak English?
Speaker 9 (02:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Do you think this town will be mostly Haitian soon? Oh?
Speaker 9 (02:57):
Probably? But at the end of the day, bonzo, Yeah,
I mean it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You speak English French?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
How disrespect is that?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
What do you mean I've spoken the most people here
have spoken French to that? All right? Fair enough?
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (03:12):
I hear it?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Come up?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Is that how you go to church?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I mean, if the church spoke predominantly French.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I would say most black people I've talked to you
today are from hating. That's why I I'm sure, okay,
I'll be straight up. I mean, I'm not to be
dick down now.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
That right, there is an understandable thought.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's me being honest.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, that's but that's not respectable.
Speaker 11 (03:35):
We're first of all, we're we're in America, right, That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
So why are you acting like we're not in America?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Because I from my experience here and in Springfield, everyone
spoke French.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Everyone spoke French every for the most part.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I'm being serious.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
No, No, you're saying black.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It's not that's very race. This is factual based.
Speaker 11 (03:56):
Because you're the first that's coming like this. And what's
original is like straight racist saying.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
How is that racist?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Speak English? But why don't they speak English? How's that
my problem?
Speaker 11 (04:09):
Okay, I don't want to do I want to get
at and you didn't want to make the bet you're
because this.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Is a predominantly white town. The democraphy is shifted. People
have come from Haiti because people speak French and the
most most of the black people I've talked to you
speak French. That was a fair educated Yes.
Speaker 11 (04:25):
Why are you saying everybody is Haitian, Like, you're not
even going as far as I'm not.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
You're even now, I'm not you You're not now, I'm
gonna be honest, you're not.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I said, it's not that, Evin.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Let's get to the subject of where we're at.
Speaker 12 (04:39):
The majority of the newscasters and all these people that's
coming around here, it's saying everybody is Haitian.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well, clearly not right.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
That's the issue with me.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, I mean looking around us right now, Japan.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
But here's what's happening.
Speaker 12 (04:54):
You know, I get it, But stop with the games
acting like you you you're blind and you don't see
that I'm American and you're Bojor and.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Me, well, it doesn't mean to be an American anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Though it's my fault. There's no answer to that. Are
they not American? Are the American? You tell me?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Stop? Stop with the games?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
What what's the game? What's the game?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Bajor and everybody?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Do you speak a second language?
Speaker 13 (05:14):
Now?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Am I supposed to know that? What's the official language
of the States? And eight out of ten people I
talked to you, that's black out here they speak French
and only French. So it's I feel like it comes
from a reasonable place.
Speaker 12 (05:24):
I guess we're going in circles, right, we're going in
circles with us.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, I think you're approaching it from a sign of disrespect,
but you don't call it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You don't think that's racist?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Ah No, if you want to support our boots on
the ground, independent journalism that is not bought and paid
for by corporate interests, along with uncensored early access to
all my videos before they go up on YouTube, and
exclusive DLC content that YouTube won't let me upload, go
subscribe that patreon dot COM's last Tyler olivera for less
than five bucks a month.
Speaker 12 (05:53):
What is your Let me ask you, what's your what's
your outtake? As far as what's going on with everybody
out here?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
What are you?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
How are you saying?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I see as business owners will do whatever it takes
to keep their business operating. Their argument is the jobs
are low pay enough for no one else will work them.
Then obviously the shops will be filled, and everyone wants
to come to America work and make it money. So
it's not surprising if people want to come here. How
did they get here? Is my basic question? Logistically is
interesting due to the political cycle right now, can they vote?
(06:21):
Is another interesting question. Given the importance of Pennsylvania. Would
someone have a vested interest in getting a lot of
people from a different place that need to make money
into a swing state to benefit their election?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Interesting question.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Beyond that, it's also a broader question of assimilation. Can
people just be dropped off in the town from a
totally different place that speak a language that's not English
and live life differently and adapt overnight similarly?
Speaker 13 (06:49):
Not?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
And the other interesting thing is I saw Zelenski dresses,
I saw the Asian store here.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
There seems to be waves of immigration that have come.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
The question then is if they were European would this
be less controversial if they weren't black.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
So there's a lot of interesting nuances this.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah with you, man, you got a pretty cool intellect.
You just about it like.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, I mean, I just got unlucky. I said boneour
to the long guy. I didn't mean it that one. Yeah, no,
I mean sorry about the boneour, but it ain't that.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
It wasn't Yeah, I don't. I don't know totally one
hundred percent agreed.
Speaker 11 (07:20):
But I see that you're not too delicious, You're not maliciously,
You're you have a somewhat of a valid.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Point, Banjoe, Look.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
She does that mean she's Asians?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Are you from eighty Haitian? I mean I guess she is?
And is that racist? And if that's racist? When can
we ever have a conversation? I don't mean it?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It gets crazy?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
How is that?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Because there's over thirty four different national check this out?
Speaker 6 (07:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Where are you from?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Come on? Clear?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Clar yeah? Where are you from?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Where you're from?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Fear? Okaying?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
No period?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Done? All right?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I have a question done? Was it offensive for me
to ask, if you're antient, why that was? That was racist?
That racist?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Clearly?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Honestly, I don't feel like you're racist. I just feel
like you're just a dick.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's your Adaly and that girl clearly was not patient.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That was racist, bro, clearly, clearly. I see that's where
we disagree.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Drink.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I'm trying to wake up your control.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
How am I a contest conflating a valid question of racism?
And I think that kills the conversation and then we
cannot talk about anything.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, that's cool, but that was racist right there?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
But I feel like that's what you throw that around,
willy nilly. It means nothing. What does that mean? How
am I racist? Because what does that mean? Seriously?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
To find your opinion towards dark color?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
You think I've treated you any differently?
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
How you don't think we've come at each other with
equal levels of You disrespected me as h is an
insult to speak French?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Why is that an insult to intelligent?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You can't play those games.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
With me, That's what I'm saying. How am I racist?
When you would it not be a compliment you gave?
Speaker 11 (09:06):
Let me ask you that I can't have an intellectual
conversation with somebody like you?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Why?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Because you're a peon?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
But why don't you educate me though you're because you.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Don't think, you don't listen. I just think you're smarter
than what your You're too smart for your own good.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You're clearly not right, clearly you are, So help me
understand you smart?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
For you person to listen to is your respectfully? You're
going to understand what I'm saying one day, I hope.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
So.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah man, yeah yeah, yeah, good man.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
This guy over here apparently I'm racist? What do you
think talk to me? Thou seip like, okay, fair.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
But that's not the type of care.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Man, I'm not trying to I'm opening the conversation.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Here because you wouldn't came here if Trump's saying that.
Speaker 2 (09:54):

Why did you come in here? Assuming we came in
and served trouble.
Speaker 2 (11:41):

the mayor.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Keep your your composure as a communist.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Keep your communist I mean gay racist communists.
Speaker 11 (11:53):
I didn't mean to say that commentary is whatever to
say you're racist.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I do believe you're you're in the closet. There's nothing
wrong with that.
Speaker 12 (12:01):
And there's absolutely actually there's there's nothing wrong with you
having a personal opinion and feelings, being racist and all that.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's when you be disrespectful to people.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Women.

Man, put that monster down. I'm double your age.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Duh, alright, it's you. It's been real.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
They come over here from their country and work their
asses off.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
So is everyone getting law out here? Do you think
Trump put you guys in the spotlight in the negative way?
That's caused conflict here.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Ain't gonna talk about Trump, got it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I'm out of here, man, I gotta go fill up
my two.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
All right, it's been real. He's spend enough time.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
What's up? Do you not talk?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Man?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I'm the devil.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I think when you start throwing around the R word,
the conversation becomes a lot more difficult.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Hello, can I interview you? What do you speak? How
long have you been here in Charleroy? How did you
get here? Where do you work here? What's up?
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yes? She only speaks hation creoles you might have to translate. Yeah,
you see yourself living here forever? Man?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Okay, messy are yes? Where? Yes? From Haiti? Okay? How
long have you lived here in Charleroy? And what do
you do for work here? If anything?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
How do you survive without a job to make money?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
How much do you get in food stamp? Okay?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Do you have family and friends that live here? How
much do you pay for rent?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Would be.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Okay. The fact that I walk up to the.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Next four people in a row and they're all from
eighty or speak French, I think proves my point.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I think at the end of the day, if all.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
You can do is spam racist, racist, racist, your points
are quite invalid and honestly quantos vivaki NOI in.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It portk Vena, Vena, Charleroi.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
Borg.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Michael to the Bajas okay? And did on the l s.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
No, you say yo know you're okay to to and
l factorio coma okay? The what is it?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
The factor? How do you like life here? Does everyone
get along or things tense?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Okay? Okay?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Do you plan on staying in Pennsylvania or are you
guys going to move somewhere else or go back home?
Speaker 14 (15:36):
And no?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
How many Haitians have recently moved here? Two thousand.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Okay, okay, that's the work bus. You take that to
do you work at the factory? Okay for the food. Okay,
So that is the van right in front of us.
This is picking up people and taking them off to work.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And now they're going.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Off to the next person right here, I assume, and
honestly fair play. If the business owner's funding this, what's
the problem. I think the question is if somehow taxpayer
dollars are paying for it, then maybe that's a questionable thing.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Be right.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I'm voting for the fellon Trump twenty twenty four. So
interesting political dynamic right now.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
This is the bus.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
We have some mation workers here, so they got unloaded
to work. Our boy who we talk to is going
to go to work now. And there you have it,
a shuttle system. Let's go downtown see what the people
on the street have to say and see what's really
going on here.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Are the Haitians a savior to this town? Are they
a blight to the town.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
After a quick change my jacket to avoid instant recognition
by my new ops on the block, I went back
downtown to see what some of the less emotionally fragile
locals thought what.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Are your thoughts on the Haitians. Right, that's what's made
the national news.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
N They got these guys here to cover the town up.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So you think there is a cover up story too.
Would you like to be a little more specific.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Yeah, there's awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Fifteen people murdered and twenty people murdered.
Speaker 14 (17:03):
Their celebrities he came here, Yeah, and Charlotte celebrities he
came here, got murdered.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I'm sure scaring on all that.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
I don't even know.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
It was actually like somewhat of a good community. I mean,
and now it's just this after all these people started coming.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
In here because people when I ask questions, they're just like,
you're racist. And a yellow man, I said, bonjour, and
the guy said, do you think because I'm black, I'm
not Haitian.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I was like, okay, my bad, there is I just
mentioned him.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Now you're telling people, what's he telling you about me?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
You'd say it? Say what I said. I said, that
isn't about what's happening in Charloroy. But you know, I'm
asking the hard questions that need to be answered here.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I mean, yeah, you're.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Doing your job, but you gotta do it correctly.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
That's all right, we've reached peace. Yeah, we've been so
we're cool. Now what is the future of CHARLOI the future?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
There is no future.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
It's going I mean, look what's going on now?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
What the fuck even is this? Are you guys like
that Nick Johnson dude that came here?
Speaker 8 (17:55):
No, I'm actually I hate that guy. We have beef
right now. I've seen a video with Nick Johnson. He's
riding around secretly recording people. He's going to the DMV
accent people who don't even speak English, do you have
papers to receive a license?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
And people didn't need to understand what he was saying,
and they replied no.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
And he's going with the narrative that you don't need
papers if you're from or a third world country, you
just get a license.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That's all false.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
Yes, there are a lot of car accidents here and
there because they're just learning how to drive.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
There are gonna be accidents. Did I hear their.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
Complaining about that you can't rent houses here? Before we
came here, the houses were here, but they weren't livable.
Now that the houses are livable, is now everybody has
a problem. But it's like where were they the past?
Twenty thirty years. Why didn't they fix the town up?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And why is it a problem now?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Right now that all the immigrants have gotten here.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Guess what when you're getting new stop lights, you got
new sidewalks.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
The city is really taking care of itself now right here.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Absolutely, that's all I have to say. And are you
born to race here?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I love all human beings.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
But you don't come in and they.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Tell me about the invasion.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Someone said they're letting the level devil in. I to
them with the good book. I do a lot of
good book reading the Bible. Absolutely, some talk like we.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Talk, sure, but they don't want to talk like we talked.
They just they're language and their trip. They don't want
to know her language. Then you got a lot of
them comes by. You say hi to them, and they
just like to give you a snub, look at you.
They want to say hi, don't want to do nothing.
It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Do you think they're adding value to the community.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I think everything is changing.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
It to be trueful or worse.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I think probably the worst. Because the reason why is
because now I tell you all that you don't see
no people like I thought her no.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
More, where are you from? You said we What does
that mean? Where you from?
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Yes, you're from I'm not from Haiti, but I'm I'm
born and raised in Florida. But what I'm saying is
I am Haitian and I feel what's going on like
it ain't right because.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I wonder if this would be a point of contention
if the people coming here weren't black. Basically, and listen,
I got called racist today because I saw my guy
I said on Joor and I honestly had eight out
of ten.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
People were being French to mean that I saw her
black and I was trying to be a day.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah you're the die that he was talking about.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
But okay, cool ohe him, that's me. But I mean,
I'm genuinely trying to understand.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Okay, from what I'm seeing, most of the people that's
voting for Trumps either I hate to see it racist
or money driven. What I'm thinking, what I'm seeing, the
word Haitiing is the new Nigga word I've heard.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
There's too many of.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
Them the police and the ambulance can't handle. I thought
the ambulance get paid for every call that comes out.
Wouldn't they be making more money. Now, wouldn't that be
actually helping the town?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Now?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
The question too is the landlords are making a ton
of money right off these people as well.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Yeah, they're making a count.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Why is everyone coming here.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Because there's working at the factories? Got the food factories?
And I heard he got trouble too. I heard that
gun shut down to all them people there.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I don't know, I can definitely say the sixty percent of.
Speaker 14 (20:56):
The people who did make up Charla Ray moved out
the statements on or true council claims their divisive. We
had a former council member and they seem to be
in a deal with the Fourth Street plant up on
the hill and up on this hill. For six years,
it's been largely people who were underpaid because they don't
(21:18):
qualify as you know, minimum wage.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
What's the financial structure we suspect.
Speaker 14 (21:24):
We are not totally sure about that, but there are
people who we did know of that were underpaid.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
One of the getting paid five dollars an hour two
bucks an hour.
Speaker 14 (21:32):
We don't know an exact number on that, but we
do know they were short and compared to like actual
Americans covered under the legal wage. You know how people
like us normal Americans were under housing rules like you
can't exceed a certain number of limits on capacity.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Right, Why are there thirty of them living in a
house for cheap?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
These people are just doing it just to get Trump reelected,
which I don't understand. Why do you have to down
a whole race just to win an election?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Does everyone here get along?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Everyone gets along? Where are the fights? The ex the police.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
They're saying that the immigrants are going around yelling and
cussing at him and looking at them angry.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
They're not looking at you angry you're riding by. They're
just looking.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
If you would speak and say hey, they probably speak
and say hey too, instead of you just having an
attitude and thinking they're against you.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Before you listen to something, at least get the facts.
Speaker 14 (22:20):
Just like a week ago, we had somebody at the
end of town apparently going the wrong way at a
one year old child.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
We don't know if it was yes, we don't know
if it was an American.
Speaker 14 (22:29):
We don't know if it was a driver that doesn't
know how to read the street signs telling you you're
going the wrong way. I will never not like anybody
just because of where they come from or where they
don't come from, but the whole multiculturalism influx without a
way to actually properly and responsibly handle it.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That is probably big conspiracy theory here.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
But where people's minds go right now in this election
cycle is Pennsylvania swing state? Are they trying to influence
the outcome of Pennsylvania's elect world votes? Right?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
What do you think? I think a lot of people
here are a little bit PTSD.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Of being in the spotlight, being misrepresented in their opinion,
and in their opinion, they came here to work hard,
make money, just like any other immigrant group class, or
my great great grandfather for that matter, and are being
vilified without context. Bye in this case Nick Johnson, allegedly,
this whole town is a microcosm of what one may
are you a lot of things that are changing in
the US. And I think what we're witnessing too is
(23:32):
Nick Johnson did not do a good job but paving
the way, friendnyone else to come busy here? How long
have you lived in CHARLEROIVV? How did you get here
to Charleroi? And how long did that journey take?
Speaker 13 (23:50):
But he didn't applicate them way for me to applicate
the way.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Do you have family and friends that also live here?
And do you live alone?
Speaker 13 (23:57):
Maviv Mavie think what do you do for work here
in Charleroi?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
No?
Speaker 13 (24:08):
More applicate my sperion as you last year?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Do you receive any benefits from the state or the
federal government in terms of money?
Speaker 13 (24:17):
Yeah, my friend superb imbited your party, your party.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
To Did you see that this town was recently in
the news and Donald Trump mentioned it?
Speaker 13 (24:32):
Wait exactly, my man, monk keeper normal year, keep speak
different national normal, normal, noomal if acting the fund no?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
No, no, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
How long do you plan on staying here in Charleroi?
Do you plan on going back to Haiti at some
point or is this a permanent move?
Speaker 13 (25:13):
Give me jetpam naqui sag and Mama dear.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Don't you think it's interesting that in Springfield the whole
they're eating the cats, they're eating the doors. It's not
a conversation point here, nor have I brought that up
due to YouTube censorship, And also I understand that at
the end of the day, and even at the core
of that video, that's not what it's about. It's about demography,
shift changing, culture changing towns and where are these people from?
(25:39):
How do they get here? And people being protective of
their homes. Anyways, this is certainly seemingly no longer predominantly
white town if it once was.
Speaker 10 (25:46):
If you walk past, men don't say anything. They won't
say anything to you. If you say hello, they'll smile
to you. How many times I still sleep with my
doors open? Oh yeah, I've never had to worry about it.
It's more to Americans. And I'll bring back the park again.
You go over there on Saturday and Sunday, you see
the Haitian families, mom, dad, kids, us in the park
(26:07):
exactly for what it's for. Because I am conservative, but
I really can't say anything bad about him.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Some of the conspiracists, I suppose is you know, are
they trying to impact which which direction Pennsylvania swings?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Oh yeah? And who do you think they're voting for?
Speaker 10 (26:22):
Oh god, they're gonna go Democrat walk because they're the
ones that open the doors.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Sure you know.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
I'll give you a quick story about a year ago.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I'm on the lot.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
It was pouring down rain. There was a guy comes
on a lot. He was from Liberia. Name is James
all right, and he came on a lot. He said,
is this Davy's Ford. I said, yeah, we're Davies Ford
and he goes accidentally got a package delivered to my
house with dav Ford. He lived almost two blocks down
that way.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
He walked up here in rain and it was those
led parking lights, about.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
Six grand worth of stuff. And he came and got
it and I said, well, come on, we're not walking
down in the rain. Let's I'll take you down. And
when we opened it up, like I said, it's like
six grand worth of lights. Yeah, And it never crossed
his mind to keep that. Now, the people here, I
know it would have been on the internet for sale
very quick. Every ethnic group when they first came here,
(27:18):
sure was persecute. Whether you got Italians, Irish, Polish, whoever
they were, Yeah, you had signs up no Irish, no this,
no that.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
They just hung in there, continued to work hard and
they made it. I to believe.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
I think you should do it legally, But if you're
just looking for a chance to better yourself and that's
a way to do it, I would have gone for
it too.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Same. I'd go into illegally if I had to. I mean,
I'll be honest. I mean who you voting for? Trump? Okay,
do you think Pennsylvania will go towards Trump? I think
the election's going to be stolen, you know.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
I mean, you got Trump putting thirty five forty thousand
people in stadiums, and you got Kamala with literally fifteen
twenty people coming to ze her.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Nobody's eating dogs and cats here. The Haitians aren't bothering us.
There's not more thousands here, maybe a thousand, maybe that's
really all. They're good people. Sure, they're all working. They're
going up to a school up here to learn English.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Ironically, we may have found the most accepting, loving town
in America. And if it wasn't like this, and the
people who didn't feel this way have already left, I
think it's sort of the case here.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
And look at that. This is what you call gentrification. Well,
this is revival. I'll be honest.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
That's literally brand new concrete that quickly and is a
brand new business. This is the symbolic shot right here.
This bus and this brand new building represent the positive
changes we're seeing with this way of immigration. With that
being said, our guy over there told me there's been
a white flight that has occurred a lot of the
white residents have left, but the city's being economically stimulated
and appears as if it's gone from dead town to
(28:45):
brand new concrete, brand new building revival. To some extent,
the question is, at what cost does it really benefit
the average American to import a cheap labor supply from
third world countries like Haiti that compete and undercut native
born American laborers. Can we criticize it's the struggling poor
American that wants to make a living wage and doesn't
take the job that pays eight bucks an hour. Well,
(29:06):
it's easy for people to point fingers at migrants coming
here to work. Seems like the real enemy may in
fact be businesses that capitalize in lobby for the admission
of a new slave labor class every year to exploit
a government that taxes us to build the infrastructure for
them to be here, and a broken border policy that
allows them to get here in the first place. But
perhaps we need infinite more people from totally different cultures
(29:27):
all across the world, and all poor Americans are just lazy.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I'm kidding, But what do you think
The word Haitian is the new Nigga word.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
This is an invasion. That's all I have to say.
I love this town.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I love the people.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I love the immigrants. You're embarrassing your mother.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
You're feminine.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's my mother, all right.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Welcome to Charlotte Royce, a small four thousand person town
in Rusvelt, Pennsylvania. It's seen an influx of an estimated
two thousand, predominantly Haitian migrants in the last two years.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
And would you say your town has changed just a
little bit over the last couple of months.
Speaker 6 (00:33):
What the even is is it? After all these people
started coming in here, there is no future.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It's gone.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
We came here, we open businesses, we're paying taxes, were
contributed to the growth of this city.
Speaker 7 (00:47):
Hasn't been a drain on borough resources. We haven't seen
a spiking crime, we haven't seen any major problems. They
come here, they buy property, they open businesses, they work here,
they pay taxes.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Been a good thing for Charlotte Thatt, a good thing
for shadow.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Why are there thirty of them living in a house for.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Cheap to have them and they just like to give
you a snub?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Look at it.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
I want to they had.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
They want to do nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's terrible.
Speaker 8 (01:11):
They want the town revived, but it looks like they
didn't want the town revived by.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The darker color.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But what exactly is going on here? Are these migrants
training the local resources and destroying the town or did
they save it from certain death? Is this fear of
migrants from placing Americans just propaganda to collect votes out
of the fear of immigrants, or are the American people
slowly being replaced by new voter class flying in from
the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. I went to
(01:38):
Charlotroi myself to see how the town is handling the
influx of migrants, if they're assimilating to American culture, to
see if they're an asset or a liability to a
town that was mid death spiral monsieur uh see Grail Okay,
mazull messy love mozue interview.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Can I interview you okay in creole interview? Interview?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Okay, interview? What's going on here? I see the newest
a comment like a Haitian invasion?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Is that real? Is that overblown? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 9 (02:17):
I means, yeah, the immigrants always been here, but for
like last maybe year, maybe you got two. I mean
they've been heavy.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Did you notice like an overnight shift?
Speaker 9 (02:27):
Yeah, I may seem like it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
How did they get here?
Speaker 9 (02:30):
A good question. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Are their job opportunities out here?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I can't.
Speaker 9 (02:34):
I can't find a job to save my life.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
How are they getting jobs?
Speaker 9 (02:39):
I don't know. They all ride in them those bands
right there. Yeah, I mean you probably get paid dirt cheap,
more less than what we would want. Sure you know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Is there a friction between you, like longtime locals out
here and the newcomers?
Speaker 9 (02:50):
I mean, not me, but I mean I know there is.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Do they speak English?
Speaker 9 (02:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Do you think this town will be mostly Haitian soon? Oh?
Speaker 9 (02:57):
Probably? But at the end of the day, bonzo, Yeah,
I mean it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You speak English French?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
How disrespect is that?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
What do you mean I've spoken the most people here
have spoken French to that? All right? Fair enough?
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (03:12):
I hear it?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Come up?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Is that how you go to church?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I mean, if the church spoke predominantly French.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I would say most black people I've talked to you
today are from hating. That's why I I'm sure, okay,
I'll be straight up. I mean, I'm not to be
dick down now.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
That right, there is an understandable thought.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's me being honest.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, that's but that's not respectable.
Speaker 11 (03:35):
We're first of all, we're we're in America, right, That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
So why are you acting like we're not in America?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Because I from my experience here and in Springfield, everyone
spoke French.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Everyone spoke French every for the most part.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I'm being serious.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
No, No, you're saying black.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It's not that's very race. This is factual based.
Speaker 11 (03:56):
Because you're the first that's coming like this. And what's
original is like straight racist saying.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
How is that racist?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Speak English? But why don't they speak English? How's that
my problem?
Speaker 11 (04:09):
Okay, I don't want to do I want to get
at and you didn't want to make the bet you're
because this.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Is a predominantly white town. The democraphy is shifted. People
have come from Haiti because people speak French and the
most most of the black people I've talked to you
speak French. That was a fair educated Yes.
Speaker 11 (04:25):
Why are you saying everybody is Haitian, Like, you're not
even going as far as I'm not.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
You're even now, I'm not you You're not now, I'm
gonna be honest, you're not.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I said, it's not that, Evin.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Let's get to the subject of where we're at.
Speaker 12 (04:39):
The majority of the newscasters and all these people that's
coming around here, it's saying everybody is Haitian.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well, clearly not right.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
That's the issue with me.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, I mean looking around us right now, Japan.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
But here's what's happening.
Speaker 12 (04:54):
You know, I get it, But stop with the games
acting like you you you're blind and you don't see
that I'm American and you're Bojor and.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Me, well, it doesn't mean to be an American anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Though it's my fault. There's no answer to that. Are
they not American? Are the American? You tell me?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Stop? Stop with the games?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
What what's the game? What's the game?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Bajor and everybody?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Do you speak a second language?
Speaker 13 (05:14):
Now?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Am I supposed to know that? What's the official language
of the States? And eight out of ten people I
talked to you, that's black out here they speak French
and only French. So it's I feel like it comes
from a reasonable place.
Speaker 12 (05:24):
I guess we're going in circles, right, we're going in
circles with us.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, I think you're approaching it from a sign of disrespect,
but you don't call it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You don't think that's racist?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Ah No, if you want to support our boots on
the ground, independent journalism that is not bought and paid
for by corporate interests, along with uncensored early access to
all my videos before they go up on YouTube, and
exclusive DLC content that YouTube won't let me upload, go
subscribe that patreon dot COM's last Tyler olivera for less
than five bucks a month.
Speaker 12 (05:53):
What is your Let me ask you, what's your what's
your outtake? As far as what's going on with everybody
out here?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
What are you?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
How are you saying?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I see as business owners will do whatever it takes
to keep their business operating. Their argument is the jobs
are low pay enough for no one else will work them.
Then obviously the shops will be filled, and everyone wants
to come to America work and make it money. So
it's not surprising if people want to come here. How
did they get here? Is my basic question? Logistically is
interesting due to the political cycle right now, can they vote?
(06:21):
Is another interesting question. Given the importance of Pennsylvania. Would
someone have a vested interest in getting a lot of
people from a different place that need to make money
into a swing state to benefit their election?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Interesting question.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Beyond that, it's also a broader question of assimilation. Can
people just be dropped off in the town from a
totally different place that speak a language that's not English
and live life differently and adapt overnight similarly?
Speaker 13 (06:49):
Not?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
And the other interesting thing is I saw Zelenski dresses,
I saw the Asian store here.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
There seems to be waves of immigration that have come.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
The question then is if they were European would this
be less controversial if they weren't black.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
So there's a lot of interesting nuances this.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah with you, man, you got a pretty cool intellect.

I mean sorry about the boneour, but it ain't that.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
It wasn't Yeah, I don't. I don't know totally one
hundred percent agreed.
Speaker 11 (07:20):
But I see that you're not too delicious, You're not maliciously,
You're you have a somewhat of a valid.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Point, Banjoe, Look.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
She does that mean she's Asians?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Are you from eighty Haitian? I mean I guess she is?
And is that racist? And if that's racist? When can
we ever have a conversation? I don't mean it?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It gets crazy?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
How is that?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Because there's over thirty four different national check this out?
Speaker 6 (07:49):

Fear? Okaying?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
No period?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Done? All right?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I have a question done? Was it offensive for me
to ask, if you're antient, why that was? That was racist?
That racist?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Clearly?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Honestly, I don't feel like you're racist. I just feel
like you're just a dick.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's your Adaly and that girl clearly was not patient.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That was racist, bro, clearly, clearly. I see that's where
we disagree.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Drink.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I'm trying to wake up your control.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
How am I a contest conflating a valid question of racism?
And I think that kills the conversation and then we
cannot talk about anything.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, that's cool, but that was racist right there?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
But I feel like that's what you throw that around,
willy nilly. It means nothing. What does that mean? How
am I racist? Because what does that mean? Seriously?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
To find your opinion towards dark color?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
You think I've treated you any differently?
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
How you don't think we've come at each other with
equal levels of You disrespected me as h is an
insult to speak French?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Why is that an insult to intelligent?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You can't play those games.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
With me, That's what I'm saying. How am I racist?
When you would it not be a compliment you gave?
Speaker 11 (09:06):
Let me ask you that I can't have an intellectual
conversation with somebody like you?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Why?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Because you're a peon?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
But why don't you educate me though you're because you.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Don't think, you don't listen. I just think you're smarter

Speaker 4 (09:35):
This guy over here apparently I'm racist? What do you

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Here because you wouldn't came here if Trump's saying that.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Okay, that's my whole point.

Speaker 1 (11:04):

Speaker 2 (11:06):

Speaker 1 (11:30):
What did I do to you?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
What's the problem.
Speaker 10 (11:31):
I don't need to be in shallow about these four
Haitian VFI are making money and they get hard.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
You're there you that's all we came here to understand.
Why did you come in here? Assuming we came in
and served trouble.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
This is my mother. All good to know we met
the mayor.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Keep your your composure as a communist.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Keep your communist I mean gay racist communists.
Speaker 11 (11:53):
I didn't mean to say that commentary is whatever to
say you're racist.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I do believe you're you're in the closet. There's nothing
wrong with that.
Speaker 12 (12:01):
And there's absolutely actually there's there's nothing wrong with you
having a personal opinion and feelings, being racist and all that.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's when you be disrespectful to people.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Women.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
She comes up, it's just the go to this means nothing.
You've ruined the meaning of the word. Yeah, you're gonna
come out all right, all right, you'll be the first thing.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
El I'm on a whole other level that you, my man.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
All right, do you know why I'm past you? Dumb it?
We're winning to take Bojo, my.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Man, put that monster down. I'm double your age.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Duh, alright, it's you. It's been real.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
They come over here from their country and work their
asses off.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
So is everyone getting law out here? Do you think
Trump put you guys in the spotlight in the negative way?
That's caused conflict here.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Ain't gonna talk about Trump, got it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I'm out of here, man, I gotta go fill up
my two.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
All right, it's been real. He's spend enough time.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
What's up? Do you not talk?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Man?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I'm the devil.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I think when you start throwing around the R word,
the conversation becomes a lot more difficult.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Hello, can I interview you? What do you speak? How
long have you been here in Charleroy? How did you
get here? Where do you work here? What's up?
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yes? She only speaks hation creoles you might have to translate. Yeah,
you see yourself living here forever? Man?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Okay, messy are yes? Where? Yes? From Haiti? Okay? How
long have you lived here in Charleroy? And what do
you do for work here? If anything?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
How do you survive without a job to make money?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
How much do you get in food stamp? Okay?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Do you have family and friends that live here? How
much do you pay for rent?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Would be.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Okay. The fact that I walk up to the.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Next four people in a row and they're all from
eighty or speak French, I think proves my point.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I think at the end of the day, if all.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
You can do is spam racist, racist, racist, your points
are quite invalid and honestly quantos vivaki NOI in.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It portk Vena, Vena, Charleroi.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
Borg.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Michael to the Bajas okay? And did on the l s.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
No, you say yo know you're okay to to and
l factorio coma okay? The what is it?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
The factor? How do you like life here? Does everyone
get along or things tense?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Okay? Okay?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Do you plan on staying in Pennsylvania or are you
guys going to move somewhere else or go back home?
Speaker 14 (15:36):
And no?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
How many Haitians have recently moved here? Two thousand.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Okay, okay, that's the work bus. You take that to
do you work at the factory? Okay for the food. Okay,
So that is the van right in front of us.
This is picking up people and taking them off to work.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And now they're going.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Off to the next person right here, I assume, and
honestly fair play. If the business owner's funding this, what's
the problem. I think the question is if somehow taxpayer
dollars are paying for it, then maybe that's a questionable thing.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Be right.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I'm voting for the fellon Trump twenty twenty four. So
interesting political dynamic right now.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
This is the bus.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
We have some mation workers here, so they got unloaded
to work. Our boy who we talk to is going
to go to work now. And there you have it,
a shuttle system. Let's go downtown see what the people
on the street have to say and see what's really
going on here.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Are the Haitians a savior to this town? Are they
a blight to the town.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
After a quick change my jacket to avoid instant recognition
by my new ops on the block, I went back
downtown to see what some of the less emotionally fragile
locals thought what.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Are your thoughts on the Haitians. Right, that's what's made
the national news.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
N They got these guys here to cover the town up.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So you think there is a cover up story too.
Would you like to be a little more specific.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Yeah, there's awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Fifteen people murdered and twenty people murdered.
Speaker 14 (17:03):
Their celebrities he came here, Yeah, and Charlotte celebrities he
came here, got murdered.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I'm sure scaring on all that.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
I don't even know.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
It was actually like somewhat of a good community. I mean,
and now it's just this after all these people started coming.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
In here because people when I ask questions, they're just like,
you're racist. And a yellow man, I said, bonjour, and
the guy said, do you think because I'm black, I'm
not Haitian.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I was like, okay, my bad, there is I just
mentioned him.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Now you're telling people, what's he telling you about me?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
You'd say it? Say what I said. I said, that
isn't about what's happening in Charloroy. But you know, I'm
asking the hard questions that need to be answered here.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I mean, yeah, you're.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Doing your job, but you gotta do it correctly.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
That's all right, we've reached peace. Yeah, we've been so
we're cool. Now what is the future of CHARLOI the future?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
There is no future.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
It's going I mean, look what's going on now?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
What the fuck even is this? Are you guys like
that Nick Johnson dude that came here?
Speaker 8 (17:55):
No, I'm actually I hate that guy. We have beef
right now. I've seen a video with Nick Johnson. He's
riding around secretly recording people. He's going to the DMV
accent people who don't even speak English, do you have
papers to receive a license?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
And people didn't need to understand what he was saying,
and they replied no.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
And he's going with the narrative that you don't need
papers if you're from or a third world country, you
just get a license.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That's all false.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
Yes, there are a lot of car accidents here and
there because they're just learning how to drive.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
There are gonna be accidents. Did I hear their.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
Complaining about that you can't rent houses here? Before we
came here, the houses were here, but they weren't livable.
Now that the houses are livable, is now everybody has
a problem. But it's like where were they the past?
Twenty thirty years. Why didn't they fix the town up?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And why is it a problem now?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Right now that all the immigrants have gotten here.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Guess what when you're getting new stop lights, you got
new sidewalks.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
The city is really taking care of itself now right here.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Absolutely, that's all I have to say. And are you
born to race here?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I love all human beings.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
But you don't come in and they.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Tell me about the invasion.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Someone said they're letting the level devil in. I to
them with the good book. I do a lot of
good book reading the Bible. Absolutely, some talk like we.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Talk, sure, but they don't want to talk like we talked.
They just they're language and their trip. They don't want
to know her language. Then you got a lot of
them comes by. You say hi to them, and they
just like to give you a snub, look at you.
They want to say hi, don't want to do nothing.
It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Do you think they're adding value to the community.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I think everything is changing.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
It to be trueful or worse.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I think probably the worst. Because the reason why is
because now I tell you all that you don't see
no people like I thought her no.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
More, where are you from? You said we What does
that mean? Where you from?
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Yes, you're from I'm not from Haiti, but I'm I'm
born and raised in Florida. But what I'm saying is
I am Haitian and I feel what's going on like
it ain't right because.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I wonder if this would be a point of contention
if the people coming here weren't black. Basically, and listen,
I got called racist today because I saw my guy
I said on Joor and I honestly had eight out
of ten.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
People were being French to mean that I saw her
black and I was trying to be a day.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah you're the die that he was talking about.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
But okay, cool ohe him, that's me. But I mean,
I'm genuinely trying to understand.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Okay, from what I'm seeing, most of the people that's
voting for Trumps either I hate to see it racist
or money driven. What I'm thinking, what I'm seeing, the
word Haitiing is the new Nigga word I've heard.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
There's too many of.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
Them the police and the ambulance can't handle. I thought
the ambulance get paid for every call that comes out.
Wouldn't they be making more money. Now, wouldn't that be
actually helping the town?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Now?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
The question too is the landlords are making a ton
of money right off these people as well.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Yeah, they're making a count.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Why is everyone coming here.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Because there's working at the factories? Got the food factories?
And I heard he got trouble too. I heard that
gun shut down to all them people there.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I don't know, I can definitely say the sixty percent of.
Speaker 14 (20:56):
The people who did make up Charla Ray moved out
the statements on or true council claims their divisive. We
had a former council member and they seem to be
in a deal with the Fourth Street plant up on
the hill and up on this hill. For six years,
it's been largely people who were underpaid because they don't
(21:18):
qualify as you know, minimum wage.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
What's the financial structure we suspect.
Speaker 14 (21:24):
We are not totally sure about that, but there are
people who we did know of that were underpaid.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
One of the getting paid five dollars an hour two
bucks an hour.
Speaker 14 (21:32):
We don't know an exact number on that, but we
do know they were short and compared to like actual
Americans covered under the legal wage. You know how people
like us normal Americans were under housing rules like you
can't exceed a certain number of limits on capacity.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Right, Why are there thirty of them living in a
house for cheap?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
These people are just doing it just to get Trump reelected,
which I don't understand. Why do you have to down
a whole race just to win an election?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Does everyone here get along?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Everyone gets along? Where are the fights? The ex the police.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
They're saying that the immigrants are going around yelling and
cussing at him and looking at them angry.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
They're not looking at you angry you're riding by. They're
just looking.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
If you would speak and say hey, they probably speak
and say hey too, instead of you just having an
attitude and thinking they're against you.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Before you listen to something, at least get the facts.
Speaker 14 (22:20):
Just like a week ago, we had somebody at the
end of town apparently going the wrong way at a
one year old child.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
We don't know if it was yes, we don't know
if it was an American.
Speaker 14 (22:29):
We don't know if it was a driver that doesn't
know how to read the street signs telling you you're
going the wrong way. I will never not like anybody
just because of where they come from or where they
don't come from, but the whole multiculturalism influx without a
way to actually properly and responsibly handle it.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That is probably big conspiracy theory here.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
But where people's minds go right now in this election
cycle is Pennsylvania swing state? Are they trying to influence
the outcome of Pennsylvania's elect world votes? Right?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
What do you think? I think a lot of people
here are a little bit PTSD.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Of being in the spotlight, being misrepresented in their opinion,
and in their opinion, they came here to work hard,
make money, just like any other immigrant group class, or
my great great grandfather for that matter, and are being
vilified without context. Bye in this case Nick Johnson, allegedly,
this whole town is a microcosm of what one may
are you a lot of things that are changing in
the US. And I think what we're witnessing too is
(23:32):
Nick Johnson did not do a good job but paving
the way, friendnyone else to come busy here? How long
have you lived in CHARLEROIVV? How did you get here
to Charleroi? And how long did that journey take?
Speaker 13 (23:50):
But he didn't applicate them way for me to applicate
the way.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Do you have family and friends that also live here?
And do you live alone?
Speaker 13 (23:57):
Maviv Mavie think what do you do for work here
in Charleroi?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
No?
Speaker 13 (24:08):
More applicate my sperion as you last year?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Do you receive any benefits from the state or the
federal government in terms of money?
Speaker 13 (24:17):
Yeah, my friend superb imbited your party, your party.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
To Did you see that this town was recently in
the news and Donald Trump mentioned it?
Speaker 13 (24:32):
Wait exactly, my man, monk keeper normal year, keep speak
different national normal, normal, noomal if acting the fund no?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
No, no, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
How long do you plan on staying here in Charleroi?
Do you plan on going back to Haiti at some
point or is this a permanent move?
Speaker 13 (25:13):
Give me jetpam naqui sag and Mama dear.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Don't you think it's interesting that in Springfield the whole
they're eating the cats, they're eating the doors. It's not
a conversation point here, nor have I brought that up
due to YouTube censorship, And also I understand that at
the end of the day, and even at the core
of that video, that's not what it's about. It's about demography,
shift changing, culture changing towns and where are these people from?
(25:39):
How do they get here? And people being protective of
their homes. Anyways, this is certainly seemingly no longer predominantly
white town if it once was.
Speaker 10 (25:46):
If you walk past, men don't say anything. They won't
say anything to you. If you say hello, they'll smile
to you. How many times I still sleep with my
doors open? Oh yeah, I've never had to worry about it.
It's more to Americans. And I'll bring back the park again.
You go over there on Saturday and Sunday, you see
the Haitian families, mom, dad, kids, us in the park
(26:07):
exactly for what it's for. Because I am conservative, but
I really can't say anything bad about him.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Some of the conspiracists, I suppose is you know, are
they trying to impact which which direction Pennsylvania swings?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Oh yeah? And who do you think they're voting for?
Speaker 10 (26:22):
Oh god, they're gonna go Democrat walk because they're the
ones that open the doors.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Sure you know.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
I'll give you a quick story about a year ago.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I'm on the lot.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
It was pouring down rain. There was a guy comes
on a lot. He was from Liberia. Name is James
all right, and he came on a lot. He said,
is this Davy's Ford. I said, yeah, we're Davies Ford
and he goes accidentally got a package delivered to my
house with dav Ford. He lived almost two blocks down
that way.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
He walked up here in rain and it was those
led parking lights, about.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
Six grand worth of stuff. And he came and got
it and I said, well, come on, we're not walking
down in the rain. Let's I'll take you down. And
when we opened it up, like I said, it's like
six grand worth of lights. Yeah, And it never crossed
his mind to keep that. Now, the people here, I
know it would have been on the internet for sale
very quick. Every ethnic group when they first came here,
(27:18):
sure was persecute. Whether you got Italians, Irish, Polish, whoever
they were, Yeah, you had signs up no Irish, no this,
no that.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
They just hung in there, continued to work hard and
they made it. I to believe.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
I think you should do it legally, But if you're
just looking for a chance to better yourself and that's
a way to do it, I would have gone for
it too.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Same. I'd go into illegally if I had to. I mean,
I'll be honest. I mean who you voting for? Trump? Okay,
do you think Pennsylvania will go towards Trump? I think
the election's going to be stolen, you know.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
I mean, you got Trump putting thirty five forty thousand
people in stadiums, and you got Kamala with literally fifteen
twenty people coming to ze her.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Nobody's eating dogs and cats here. The Haitians aren't bothering us.
There's not more thousands here, maybe a thousand, maybe that's
really all. They're good people. Sure, they're all working. They're
going up to a school up here to learn English.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Ironically, we may have found the most accepting, loving town
in America. And if it wasn't like this, and the
people who didn't feel this way have already left, I
think it's sort of the case here.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
And look at that. This is what you call gentrification. Well,
this is revival. I'll be honest.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
That's literally brand new concrete that quickly and is a
brand new business. This is the symbolic shot right here.
This bus and this brand new building represent the positive
changes we're seeing with this way of immigration. With that
being said, our guy over there told me there's been
a white flight that has occurred a lot of the
white residents have left, but the city's being economically stimulated
and appears as if it's gone from dead town to
(28:45):
brand new concrete, brand new building revival. To some extent,
the question is, at what cost does it really benefit
the average American to import a cheap labor supply from
third world countries like Haiti that compete and undercut native
born American laborers. Can we criticize it's the struggling poor
American that wants to make a living wage and doesn't
take the job that pays eight bucks an hour. Well,
(29:06):
it's easy for people to point fingers at migrants coming
here to work. Seems like the real enemy may in
fact be businesses that capitalize in lobby for the admission
of a new slave labor class every year to exploit
a government that taxes us to build the infrastructure for
them to be here, and a broken border policy that
allows them to get here in the first place. But
perhaps we need infinite more people from totally different cultures
(29:27):
all across the world, and all poor Americans are just lazy.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I'm kidding, But what do you think
