Nazis and white supremist belived people of color were not smart. I don't know if you know this but museums like the Smithsonian have Black, Native Americans and other people of color brains. Called racial brains Mostly brains of Indigenous and Black's without the consent of the family or the person, if they were dying like happened to a Indigenous woman. Most of the remains, were collected in the early 1900s under the direction of anthropologist Ales Hrdlicka, who sought to advance his now-debunked theories that White people were superior to people of color.

I remember back and the day. Times were much easier. They try to force people to the k a certain way instead of letting it happen organically so it sticks. People will always group together we are animals. Get over it
U guys understand this is from a time of ignorance these ideas failed horribly. Because some people were criminal. This is the racial equivalent of Reefer Madness. The woke said we should pay attention to race instead of ignoring it the woke wanted free easy jobs not to have to work hard
I think sometimes we tip toe around the harsh reality of human interactions because we disagree with it (AND WE SHOULD), but the best thing to do is let it speak for itself in all it's terrible honesty.
Hello! I'm Black/ African American and I don't know why but You're video ended up in my " recommended" category . I clicked on it and was prepared to be all kinds of offended 😂😂😂 thankfully I AM NOT OFFENDED and surprisingly i feel very enlightened! Thank you.
In what way do you suppose he is "enlightened"? He is using many of the exact same pseudoscientific ideas about evolution to justify his "progressive" views about race simply in an inverted way to that which was common among others of the time. All the stuff about straight hair, absence of body hair, extremity length, etc. being more "evolved" away from apes is complete garbage. Further still, the ending thesis of the film that "there's no relation between race and criminality" is laughably false. It's a happy fantasy lefties like to delude themselves with. The relation is trivially easy to observe, and is borne out in objective statistical form from FBI figures tallied up every year.
@@youknow6968 what you See about America from Afar is Propagandized Trickery from their Media Outlets - white Americans Own ALL OF THEM, so you See ONLY what they want you people to See. Want to know the TRUTH, Befriend One Black American, particularly one whose family Roots go back to Amerikkkan Slavery. Otherwise, keep believing the white American LIES. That is all, my friend... 💯
Growing up in the 50s in a multi-cultural NYC, there were epithets for every ethnic group. Calling someone "White" was meaningless. Anyway, keep in mind that as Dr.Kelly is recording this video, civil rights workers are being lynched in the south. Afa color, the reason White ladies in the South wore big hats was to prevent darkening. How to identify Whites with mixed ancestry was a cottage industry when having "one drop" of the wrong blood would destroy someone's (especially a woman's) social status and marital opportunities.
Really interesting perspective. I grew up as a white kid in an Air Force family (1960s). We traveled a lot, but lived mostly in the civilian community. My dad was a closet racist and anti-semite ("I have a black friend!"). That said, he was very supportive of Native Americans as it was rumored that we had Blackfoot heritage (never proven by documents or DNA). The things he taught me as a kid kind of rubbed me the wrong way, but I also accepted because he was my dad and my hero. Once in college, I began to challenge his views more openly as my own personal exposure to other cultures grew. Thanks for your comment.
My grandmother born in 1888, maintained the whitest pearly skin as did my mother. As a curious child I asked my grandmother why she never exposed her skin to the sun. She said that she did not want to look like a common labourer. Her reasoning was to denote social class and not race.
@@davidpritchard604 Absolutely, white skin was a class marker. However, even field workers covered their heads from the sun. My point was specifically about the lengths to which people went to prove the lack of unwanted ancestry. This was particularly true in areas where there was a history of mixing, such as Louisiana. Of course, some people wore hats and gloves just to prevent sunburn.
@ParaQue-lc2wv"Because they were aware that they may have had African blood themselves." Not so. There were no such laws because none were needed. A person was either white or, if his/her mother was a slave, he/she was a slave, regardless of his/her phenotype/looks. Then, after the Civil War, there were no more slaves. But there were hundreds of thousands of mixed-race people, many of whom, despite having African ancestry, could pass for white. (FWIW, my personal observation is that a person with as much as 20% sub-Saharan African ancestry is indistinguishable from a person of 100% European ancestry.) But that couldn't be allowed to happen, because it would introduce pollution into the otherwise-pure white race. At that point, in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century, racial-purity/blood-quantum laws and segregation were felt to be necessary to maintain the purity of the white race in the United States.
@ParaQue-lc2wv The late 19th and early 20th century was when so many such laws were codified after the Southerners and their Northern sympathizers had neutralized every effect of Reconstruction. Pres. Wilson was quite a proponent of segregation and racial hygiene. This group of laws proved to be quite an inspiration to the growing Nazi movement in Germany be it in dealing with mixed race Germans (Rheinland Bastards) as well as mental and physical defectives (T-4 program). The US was ahead of its time in this area of social engineering (but no one is proud about this achievment today, so much for American exceptionalism).

As you suggested, I researched this doctor's life and it is sad that he did such great work and passed so young. He made a great contribution to humanity, yet we have not progressed beyond where he left off in his documentary. Keep doing the work that you do. It is priceless to explore the human condition with the truthfulness, attention to detail, and historical fact that you present on this channel.
So well-stated! Echoing my own thinking, “1958, & there’s been No Progress, globally!” I can only shudder at the pushback, derision, & hostility Dr. Kelly faced-THEN. Followed by the decade of assassinations against almost anyone publicly expanding on his notions as to so-called “race,” which should’ve been exposed as virtually meritless, stupid, & entirely unscientific outside of being “observable” based on phenotype appearance as its sole & invented substance. Evil genius credit has to go, however, to the maintenance department who’ve kept hope alive in bypassing no stone being turned to “demonstrate” superiority because of their largely happenstance incarnation, & in knowing automatically whom to criminalize & pronounce as “guilty,” also based on the identical pseudoscience. At the latest, by the era of color TV, intelligence should’ve prevailed, but never has at any given juncture of “discovery.” Just proves beyond doubt to me that the desperation to believe in something so futile, so asinine & so seriously worthy-of-ridicule I have to LOL at SOME of it, is genuinely ensconced as an emotional pillar which many governments/religions rely on so heavily to justify their own existence, that there’s almost little point in mentioning key differences in “beliefs” & “Truth.” I just tend to do so because I can’t abide untreated Insanity, having experienced it firsthand. I find that it has a contagious effect that few ever apprehend. I hope you & others like yourself can do so, & arrest it before more waves of it eviscerate the planet & the species on & in it, claiming to have “evolved.” 🌲🌱🌵
As much as I hate this, and I know hate is a strong word, but this is needed. It shows the world how ignorant some ppl were, and they're coming back to roost with a vengeance
I feel the same, Alicia! It made my stomach turn. But this was a year before my dad was born. This is not ancient American history. It's being buried though....and then folks act like they dont know why America is so racially divided.👀
@@majorlazor5058 America just being America.. Now it ain't just the kkk but you got poc supremacy groups almost outnumbering the white supremacy ones (nation of islam, Hebrew israelites, LaRaza, etc). Same racist crap, new generation of racists
People are so concerned about what "box" they fit into and what "box" others should be in. They forget to just be their own person. American society has been trending to adding more boxes, but it's still trying to shoehorn individuals into a "box" by some arbitrary trait.
I think it’s a good thing that more and more babies are being born biracial / triracial and multiethnic. Pretty soon, they won’t fit into any boxes, because they would have to check every box. I completely agree, I hate how Americans keep creating more and more labels and call it “freeing.” It’s weird how many people WANT a box to check! It’s strange meeting someone and basically being told, “label me this.” Like, I’m sorry, but I would like to see you as a unique individual, not a label.
@@findingbeautyinthepain8965 Labels can be confining and freeing. It just depends on what the label is, how society sees it and how the individual sees it.
Cara Danielle, sono italo-australiano , ti voglio portare a conoscenza che sino al 1966 un aborigeno era considerato fauna australiana. Stai facendo un lavoro eccezionale per salvaguardare la memoria neanche così lontana. Sei una ispirazione. Continuerò a scriverti nella lingua dei nostri antenati. Un saluto affettuoso.
Love your channel, you talk a lot about race. A topic that many people don't like to talk about. You cut straight into topics that many people find offensive. Love what you're doing, in our day and age we need it.
I appreciate it. I started because when I started digging into my family story, I found out it wasnt not as Black and White as I thought it would be.... you can watch those videos on here, too!
I'm 1/4 Portuguese and 1/8 Italian with the rest of my heritage being Dutch and Welsh. Because I can tan quite deeply, most likely due to my southern European heritage, I'm often taken to be someone of mixed Native American and Caucasian heritage. I've been asked what my tribal affiliation is, and have even had somewhat uncomfortable interactions with people who clearly don't like Native Americans. Then I would tell them what my actual heritage is and see a total shift in their attitude towards me. It's bizarre!
@@Xxx-y9d yep, I've heard this before. There's a common ancestry with the Upper Paleolithic Mal'ta Buret' culture in Siberia dating back to 24,000 years BP
The reason why people did not like native Americans was because they slave traders they would take freed blacks and sell them right back to whites so that's probably why
What I notice is that notions about Irish, Italians, French, Germans said in this video for the most part don't exist and seem silly. However when it comes to blacks, mexicans or jews people STILL feel this way and media and institutional racism has reinforced these stereotypes in 2023!! When black people get a karen or ken approaching us and asking why we in this neighborhood or do we live here. Its based in this! That we are criminals or dont belong in certain areas
Up until the 1960s the negative characterization of people by race, ethnicity, and national origin was pretty common! The Irish were considered violent reactionaries, Slavs (Czechs and Poles) were considered stupid, Germans were considered punctual and warlike. Racial, ethnic, and national slurs were used everywhere! I grew to hate such slurs because the “B” word and “P” word were used against Czechs and Poles!
The thing is, statistics do clearly show that African Americans commit a very disproportionately high amount of violent crime and theft. So it's not like this belief isn't based in reality... Sorry, just stating the facts 🤷♂️
I’m white…mostly Scottish and English with some welsh, Irish, German and Norwegian mixed in. My wife is from Ecuador…60% indigenous, about a quarter southern European (mostly Spanish), 7% sub-Saharan African, and a dash from the British isles. When we had children in the 90s, we were very conscious about discrimination and perception, so we decided to give our children Anglo-American names for fear that they’d be discriminated against if they had Spanish names. Our children are racially/ethnically ambiguous…very dark hair, brown eyes, high cheekbones, lightly tanned skin…and some freckles on their faces. Two of them have straight hair, one has thick wavy/curly hair (my dad’s side of the family had the same type of hair).
People need to understand that this is not from times very long ago. This is only 70 years ago. Most people who faced this type of racism are still alive and people think racism is over.
What's terrifying to me is how people who have been persecuted for race and religion can turn around can you turn around and do the same exact thing that was to them to a group of people that they look upon as being interior because their race skin color and religion does that mean as people we can't learn from the pass 😮😢terrifying to me
I come from a multi-generational mix family. That means I can see the conflict going on in the world from a unique vantage point. I'm talking about man's humanity to man. How we cannot learn from our mistakes. To be truthful it's not even about race or religion.It's about money and power.How people use religion and race to gain power.My opinion is America doesn't really care about the Israeli state. Americans care about money. The oil rights , protect their investments in the region.Corporations don't have a race or religion.so what if people die. that's what happens when corporations do business on a global scale.The greed is what's terrifying to me.
@@moonbay2399 Agree with you 100%. It annoys me when people say “religion causes all the world’s problems”. No, religion is just a tool some use to subjugate others or justify their reason for committing horrific acts against other human beings. If not religion, they just use some ancient claim to land or a decades long conflict to fuel their war.
I have had that same question in my mind for years how can a person dominate and discriminate against anyone when they have been done the same way in the past❤❤
No they didn't stop in the 1970's, equal-rights made people hide their slurs in certain situations. It's still there even worse in say police departments than in the 60's.
Danielle, you forgot a very, very important, semi comic short film about prejudice and racism. It was done by Bill Cosby and he is in clown face and he’s going through all different stereotypes and prejudices people have against people of different races and religions. I know he is a controversial figure, but it was one of the most important films I’ve ever seen, because it came down to just him tolerating himself because he found something wrong with nearly everybody

I understand your input and feedback, but not for nothing, but anyone can look that up and it doesn't correlate with the context of Danielle's research, content, and platform.
Your story about being called a woman of color is interesting. It's fascinating the many stories of people now through DNA tests discovering surprising ancestry, where they recount being identified as such prior. Sometimes of course those stories are also sad because of family secrets. Nonetheless I find them all so intriguing.
Im always intrigued, too. I think sometimes people see things in us we miss in the mirror. But either way, the assumptions based on the shade of someone's skin AT THAT MOMENT, is something we need to move away from
Yeah, let's leave it to Republicans! They are trying to erase history by burning books and telling us CRT makes people more racist, yes this is the kind of crazy we are dealing with nowadays. Hell, they even say that America was never racist.
One thing I have encountered is the tendency of some not to look more deeply into history in order to rationalize their own hatred. Even well respected media outlets have done this. The positive outcome is that more scholarly individuals will do the research to counter this kind of bias.
Good presentation. There should be no relationship between so-called race and behavior. But there is a relationship between culture and behavior, as shown with the Nazis and other cultures. Books of slurs - very interesting.
Yes I'm interested to see more of these. Speaking of blood types between the races. I'm black American and my wife is Filipino. Years ago out daughter was pre mature and had complications that caused her to need blood. All three of us have A+ blood type, but my wife and I were not able to donate blood. My white American friend had A+ blood type and was able to donate blood for my daughter. So much for different blood types between the races.
You also have "Blood group" antigens to go along with Blood Types. If you are getting a blood transfusion they do a "Type and Screen" (an antigen-antibody screen) along with Blood-typing you. I was a lab tech in the military and I know all about this stuff. Having an O Blood type is not the same as having "Bombay Syndrome". But anyway, what they have found out (and it is scientifically documented by geneticists) is that a lot of BLACK PEOPLE have an extra set of DNA CHROMOSOMES. Some people call it "hidden DNA".
Lol, wow that is shocking, in a good way. People have been using colorism, classism, sexism, casteism and creedism to measure human superiority for a long time in this world. This is how we've justified things like segregation, slavery, oppression, genocide and other things in our minds. Racism has been just another way. 👍Good video.
I agree with you this needs to be talked about and shown to younger Generations to understand where we were and how far we have come when it comes to race here in America.
So glad you are putting these videos out for study Seeing and learning about how our perception of race and people has evolved is priceless and something we all need . For a civics project, my child, who’s autistic and nonverbal, and myself tried together to take the literacy test you linked and one of your videos. Sadly, we did not make it in time.
@@nytn thank you! We have also been studying our family tree; what life in their home country was, why members immigrated, what life was like in America, traditions they had, and anything else we can find. This channel has been very valuable for us, and I’m sure many others!
I was in a terrible car accident in 2001 - brain injury, broken bones, internal organ bruising, etc. My dog had to be put to sleep. If I were a dog, they'd have put me to sleep. It took 3 years to recover. When I was able to read the police and hospital reports, I was described as a well nourished Mexican woman of 35 yrs of age. I am very fair, have blue eyes, and dark curly hair. My "ethnicity " is English and German. So my family and I couldn't figure out why I was described as Mexican. I certainly do not look "Mexican ", I look like a white European American girl. Also, I was never asked for ID or health insurance - which I had. I was treated/ stabilized in the small rural hospital and released. A few days later was taken to the big city hospital were I was really examined/ treated - e-xrays, MRI, pain meds and received a real diagnosis. It just goes to show how subjective physical observations of a person can be. I never got a bill from the rural hospital. We decided the rural hospital made a judgment call based on my appearance that I was indigent and maybe couldn't pay the bill? They did estimate age correct, tho....... 😑
Sorry to hear about your accident. But you are also goofy for thinking that Mexicans are a race and not a nationality. I'm mexican American and look white. Mexico are just like America. They have different variants of everything.
@felipenunez2058 I used ethnicity and nationality to describe myself, not race. Mexican is a nationality with many different ethnicities. The point is that the hospital made a judgment call on my appearance and assigned an ethnicity/ nationality and based on their assumptions, maybe my ability to pay without asking for ID or insurance?
Wow, I had never heard of Dr. Kelley. He is saying some good things, and presenting them very clearly. I will have to look him up and see how 1940s and 1950s America treated him!
It's sad becuase many generations of brown skinned people internalized this and passed it on and on all this time. Smh. Gratitude for sharing this. Its heartbreaking.
The term " race" only appeared in the language in the 12th century. Before the term came about in the English speaking countries most people were id via tribe, religion language but as many in tjose group had various skin color. So became the division of race according to skin color😊
It’s more than just skin color it’s phenotypes often times in order to discriminate specifically those of African decent and then snowball into all other categories or countries one despises.
Its great that you are putting this all in one place... im American of Mexican heritage... over the last 100 yrs we have been browbeaten into "hispanic"... shamed for being Mexican... America "calls" us white, but only when it's convenient. Many times in my career I heard "u got hired only because your mexican"... or f'n n_ _ _ s and meskans" and this person looked at me and said, "not talkin' bout u" (in my best east texas hillbilly accent)... youre right, race is used to justify people's failures or ambitions... good job...
He's talking about profiling before they had the term. But you can understand why an Army doctor would need to focus on breaking down racial pre-judgments, since the work of putting together a cohesive fighting unit would mean getting rid of hostilities within the group.
😰😰 i’m only 45 seconds in i just watched your 1950s debate video; i love your commentary style. you’re one of the only essayist/react content person in youtube who presents with what feels like 0% bias. digging your work!
That's so kind of you. I cant really have a bias because Im realizing I an 38 and don't really know history. Learning in public is my style. Glad to have you!
@@nytn I found your content and I’m here because I’m on the same journey! i’m 54; it took years before i realized how utterly laughable my knowledge of history was real talk on leaving out bias- i simply couldn’t do an essay or react vid with that horrible woman moderating the vid with the kids’ debate. i’d easier sprout wings and fly vs presenting the video as you did- perfectly matter of factly. “we value the small and delicate” HOW ABOIT THOSE GIANT AMERICAN SOLDIERS THAT TORE THROUGH YOUR COUNTRY? YOU SURELY LIKED THE HUGE, SCARY AMERICAN SOLDIERS!! i had to pick my jaw up off the floor
This old video is low key not racist at all, i was born in the early 80s and think i was lucky enough to experience the last of non politcally correct life in america, my friends made racial jokes about me and me about them and we all stayed friends afterwards, no hard feelings.
With the last name Kelly it’s obvious the doctor’s ancestry was Irish so he’d have a first hand knowledge of what it means to be considered second class , his ancestors probably had to leave Ireland because of colonial oppression, ethnic cleansing, slavery and famine caused by the British colonization of Ireland that sparked endless conflicts, rebellions and civil strife. Every Irish person is acutely aware of their own families history and how they survived the barbarism of colonialism and subjugation , racial abuse and bigotry .
We were taught this in school and also discussed and debunked in class, but this video is great to show what was taught in earlier America but not that long ago. I remember those were the "era" of the "disaffected white supremacist" that needed a scapegoat and someone [racial groups ] of people to blame for their lack of mobility, and their entitlement on employment and racial hierarchy in America. I have actually seen worse, and this type galvanized me to act. I would love to know what motivated or what happened to the people in the video. I wonder if they were uncomfortable with these pseudo-racial stereotypes. This man and his presentation are to make you think about what is America, and what is still controversial and problematic to society since this place is nothing but racial designations and assumed racial designations ! If you really want to research someone that has horrible pseudo-scientific views is J. Philippe Rushton book "Race, Evolution, and Behavior. Peace
Yes, definitely. And, I would love to see a collab with you and David Hoffman. He also has a channel here on RUclips with a lot of interviews with many people throughout the decades, recording their experiences and lives.
i just read a book by Jack El-Hai "The Nazi and the psychologist" yes and this guy, from the Nuremburg trails has a starring role. Its very good and has an audiobook version, too. 1945 was a real eye opener for Americans and their own racism and what it ultimately leads to
It is good to see where race and skin colour stereotypes come from especially when they debunk assumptions. Thanks for keeping the conversation around race alive. ❤ * Let me go look up Dr. Kelley, though I am a little fearful of what I will find... *
Danielle, you mentioned this doctor was in the military service! Oof!! Ughzz!! Lol, he said Sicilians were nappy!lol! Well, he made one good point in where he said other countries might view Americans gangsters like Chicago gangsters. I'm sure that's historically true.
To censor thoughts and ideas is to drive them to ground and let them grow roots. Bring ideas into the open and let them face the test of scrutiny, analysis and time. Truth can face critique, lies cannot. How is it they were more free and honest in expression, in 1958, than we are today ?
Hmm, I don't think his views were mainstream by the late 1950s. Yes many nonscientist believed it, but how many actual paleontologist, anthropologist, biologist and other experts on human evolution held these views by the 1950s? The late 1800s and early 1900s yes, but by the 1950s? I doubt it. I need to know about his scientific background. Being a psychologist and criminologist is not even close to being enough.
I just looked him up. His biography doesn't mention a thing about him being say an anthropologist, just a psychologist evaluating accused Nazi war criminals. In that he was respected, but for that field, not human evolution. His end was tragic though, shortly after he made this film.
@arrow1414 people have these views today! Yes in 1950 there are numerous sociologist and RELIGION taught about how black people were inferior or cursed. Read the book medical apartheid. There are medical notions that black people don't feel pain like white people do. There are European far right groups that still believe in ethno and nationalistic purity in the UK, Germany, Italy just to name a few
@@Theinfamouskiki411 I have no doubt with all of that. I was just saying that was not the mainstream expert view in the relevant sciences like anthropology or biology by even the late 1930s. There are many people who are expert, even brilliant in one field of science but don't know what the hell they are talking in a totally unrelated branch of science. After all, William Shockley, the co inventor of the transistor in 1947 and so started the high tech world we live in today with portable electronic devices, was an award winning physist (including the Nobel Prize) was also an amateur eugenicist and stone cold racist. But yes many people in power who were not scientist in the relevant fields (although there were a small number of racist there too, just not the consensus) had racist beliefs and it affected people's day to day views and some government policy.
I really love your work . Most of us who watch this stuff are ofcourse in many ways pretty aware of our nasty past but u really have a way a showing some wild stuff that just some of us have probably just haven't seen..
Thinking that determining race by blood type instead of colour would irradicate racial discrimination is the most observed thing i have heard this year. On the bright side, this is also one of the most interesting videos I've seen that logically and intellectually talks of the issue of race and how to deal with racial discrimination. I much say, the problem is beyond interlect more so about social culture.
I really enjoyed this. Dr. Kelly was very impressive. One thing I really hate is the term "person of colour" I am from New Zealand and to my disgust this expression has made a belated appearance on our shores in the last few years.(Sadly American 'culture' pervades every nook and cranny of the world). Whatever the motivation is that users have, all it does is 'other' the 'person' they are referring to in my book and I can't see how its use is justified.I wish people would just stop using it.
You just did something no one else has accomplished. You shared something profound and sad, aggravating and hopeful? This is AMAZING info from a time gone by yet still existing today just as strong. That laid the system out clearly.
I love how scientists and mainstream television used to be so much more honest and interesting! What a find that clip is. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I was born in 1956 and I wish I could live longer enough to see human being realize that drawing a arbitrary, imaginary line between them is totally insane. You have a new subscribe.
Oh Wow I was born in 1959. Just think I had to live through this and my grandmother was born in 1908 is sad that we have to live our lives believe in a lie. The facts are at the end of the day. We are all human is just like, a bouquet of roses, different color and yet it is still a Rose❤❤
I'm fascinated by physiognomy and skin tone and where I live in Southern Europe many of us Northern Europeans develope a year round tan which somewhat alters our appearance and makes us look different from our paler countrymen ( the British can look quite palid). I'm 100% British, but I am almost always mistaken for German - mostly by Germans. It happeneded again yesterday, when an Austrian told my wife he assumed I was German, and when she told him I was English he said that, to him, I didn't look English. Not a problem now, but a few decades ago when Germans were not so popular with the British, I would probably have been quite upset about it.
Imagine how little prejudice we'd actually have when we realize we all came from a common ancestry. There always has to be justification. Irish, Greeks., even Native Americans had slaves!
@@muddyhotdog4103 Exactly. If you look at slavery like murder. If one person commits a murder that does not excuse someone else's murder. Even if many people have committed murder that does not make murder right. So if one society practiced slavery that does not excuse another society practicing slavery. And even if many societies have practiced slavery that does not make slavery right.
Yup. This went on into the 70s. I was bussed from my local elementary school. Which was actually a science school. When "Blacks" moved into our neighborhood there was white flight. Germans and Italians attended the school before us. My first day of school I walked in the classroom to find Sambo on the chalkboard. Sambo was used to tell the weather. When it rained Sambo had a rain hat and boots. We were not, and still are not seen as human by many people. Walter Plecker, the eugenicist who initiated the work on classifying "Blacks." Formally differentiating us from society.
Sister Girl, you just broke my last brain cell. I can't right now begin to tell you the struggle I'm in. Some I fell into from birth and most, I've brought up on myself. You fell into my feed and it was at the exact moment I was about to raise. You made it possible for me to 'pass' another night. Now, I've got to run through your work and try to not fall out while doing so. Keep on; we need you. Appalachian town next...
Interesting but it is important not to overstate the case. Culture certainly can contribute to criminality (and not just arbitrary notions of criminality). Some cultures are more conducive of law, order, and flourishing. There are often measurable different patterns of criminality among different races, and when acting on limited time and information, one must consider this; but what makes that irrelevant in many cases is you often do have time to get to know specific individuals for whom averages are irrelevant. Finally, descriptions are more helpful the more descriptive they are; and yes, average differences and the typical range of characteristics associated with races and ethnicities can help one narrow one’s focus to better identify someone.
Professor James Walvin said this about Europeans envolvment in the Slave Trade "'they [Europeans] didn't become slave traders because of racism, they became racist because of the slave trade.'

Hi Danielle, I just watched this and it was very interesting! I really like your content its informative... But I wanted to ask you, how were you able to search your ancestry, I am in the process of searching because I am of African and Native American descent...I was born in Georgia, Thank you❤
16:00 Even if it might be the human condition, it's better to be aware of it and understand why people behave the way they do, so that you have some control wether to behave that way as well
haven't even watched yet but in the unclicked play i caught something about the n hair not being silky soft. in a pharmacy waiting next to me were an elderly white couple and i am beige. the gent asked to touch my hair and i said sure. my white companion was more offended and appalled that i assented. i did so to dispel mistaken ideas about black hair. he reacted like i knew he qould. "it'a so soft," he said in softly voiced surprise and he thanked me after. they were of a certain generation, open enough to learning something new about what i already knew. it's just hair. 🙂
I appreciate you sharing this. I was sitting there reacting to this video after JUST having had my hair relaxed at the salon. It should be just hair at the end of the day... :)
Lt. Colonel, Dr. Douglas Kelley sadly committed suicide the year this film was made by ingesting Potassium Cyanide in front of his wife, father and eldest son in New Years Day g1958. It was tragic and bizarre.

Nazis and white supremist belived people of color were not smart.
I don't know if you know this but museums like the Smithsonian have Black, Native Americans and other people of color brains.
Called racial brains
Mostly brains of Indigenous and Black's without the consent of the family or the person, if they were dying like happened to a Indigenous woman.
Most of the remains, were collected in the early 1900s under the direction of anthropologist Ales Hrdlicka, who sought to advance his now-debunked theories that White people were superior to people of color.

HOW ABOUT YOU SPEAK ON RACIST LATINOS WHO IDEOLOGIES COINCIDES WITH WHITES
I remember back and the day. Times were much easier. They try to force people to the k a certain way instead of letting it happen organically so it sticks. People will always group together we are animals. Get over it
U guys understand this is from a time of ignorance these ideas failed horribly. Because some people were criminal. This is the racial equivalent of Reefer Madness.
The woke said we should pay attention to race instead of ignoring it the woke wanted free easy jobs not to have to work hard
What a gem. I can appreciate the blunt demeanor. Also, the way they put a mirror to society then explained the facts, misinformation, and effects.
I think sometimes we tip toe around the harsh reality of human interactions because we disagree with it (AND WE SHOULD), but the best thing to do is let it speak for itself in all it's terrible honesty.
It should be mentioned that by 1958 "race science" had been widely discredited. Very few people actually believed this.
I was in a fender bender and the state police officer said I didn't look white and asked me what I was,I'm half Native and half white.

Hello! I'm Black/ African American and I don't know why but You're video ended up in my " recommended" category . I clicked on it and was prepared to be all kinds of offended 😂😂😂 thankfully I AM NOT OFFENDED and surprisingly i feel very enlightened! Thank you.
So glad you tried it out. I was prepared to be offended, too until Dr Kelly started talking and.... surprised us both!
Me too
That’s the problem…..you expected to be offended
You are doing important work. The world needs you.
It funny that we can't even have conversations about race anymore. We need our history out there
Im so grateful to find people who want to have these conversations, I appreciate you
💯💯😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
What nonsense?!!! Everyone was a racist during that time . Only difference is they were more powerful. None are victims.
You ARE doing important work. This video by Dr Kelly is remarkable. Not all old white men are evil. 😅 I would like to see more.
Surprise, a man from 1958 is way more enlightened than most people are today.
he's "enlightened"? Really? 🤣🤡
In what way do you suppose he is "enlightened"? He is using many of the exact same pseudoscientific ideas about evolution to justify his "progressive" views about race simply in an inverted way to that which was common among others of the time. All the stuff about straight hair, absence of body hair, extremity length, etc. being more "evolved" away from apes is complete garbage. Further still, the ending thesis of the film that "there's no relation between race and criminality" is laughably false. It's a happy fantasy lefties like to delude themselves with. The relation is trivially easy to observe, and is borne out in objective statistical form from FBI figures tallied up every year.
It really is, it's an America I wish existed today, although I've never visited America. But, we get to see aplenty from afar.

Want to know the TRUTH, Befriend One Black American, particularly one whose family Roots go back to Amerikkkan Slavery. Otherwise, keep believing the white American LIES. That is all, my friend... 💯
Considering the populus was Dumber yea
Growing up in the 50s in a multi-cultural NYC, there were epithets for every ethnic group. Calling someone "White" was meaningless. Anyway, keep in mind that as Dr.Kelly is recording this video, civil rights workers are being lynched in the south. Afa color, the reason White ladies in the South wore big hats was to prevent darkening. How to identify Whites with mixed ancestry was a cottage industry when having "one drop" of the wrong blood would destroy someone's (especially a woman's) social status and marital opportunities.
Really interesting perspective. I grew up as a white kid in an Air Force family (1960s). We traveled a lot, but lived mostly in the civilian community. My dad was a closet racist and anti-semite ("I have a black friend!"). That said, he was very supportive of Native Americans as it was rumored that we had Blackfoot heritage (never proven by documents or DNA). The things he taught me as a kid kind of rubbed me the wrong way, but I also accepted because he was my dad and my hero. Once in college, I began to challenge his views more openly as my own personal exposure to other cultures grew. Thanks for your comment.
My grandmother born in 1888, maintained the whitest pearly skin as did my mother. As a curious child I asked my grandmother why she never exposed her skin to the sun. She said that she did not want to look like a common labourer. Her reasoning was to denote social class and not race.
@@davidpritchard604 Absolutely, white skin was a class marker. However, even field workers covered their heads from the sun. My point was specifically about the lengths to which people went to prove the lack of unwanted ancestry. This was particularly true in areas where there was a history of mixing, such as Louisiana. Of course, some people wore hats and gloves just to prevent sunburn.
@ParaQue-lc2wv"Because they were aware that they may have had African blood themselves." Not so. There were no such laws because none were needed. A person was either white or, if his/her mother was a slave, he/she was a slave, regardless of his/her phenotype/looks. Then, after the Civil War, there were no more slaves. But there were hundreds of thousands of mixed-race people, many of whom, despite having African ancestry, could pass for white. (FWIW, my personal observation is that a person with as much as 20% sub-Saharan African ancestry is indistinguishable from a person of 100% European ancestry.) But that couldn't be allowed to happen, because it would introduce pollution into the otherwise-pure white race. At that point, in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century, racial-purity/blood-quantum laws and segregation were felt to be necessary to maintain the purity of the white race in the United States.
@ParaQue-lc2wv The late 19th and early 20th century was when so many such laws were codified after the Southerners and their Northern sympathizers had neutralized every effect of Reconstruction. Pres. Wilson was quite a proponent of segregation and racial hygiene. This group of laws proved to be quite an inspiration to the growing Nazi movement in Germany be it in dealing with mixed race Germans (Rheinland Bastards) as well as mental and physical defectives (T-4 program). The US was ahead of its time in this area of social engineering (but no one is proud about this achievment today, so much for American exceptionalism).

As you suggested, I researched this doctor's life and it is sad that he did such great work and passed so young. He made a great contribution to humanity, yet we have not progressed beyond where he left off in his documentary. Keep doing the work that you do. It is priceless to explore the human condition with the truthfulness, attention to detail, and historical fact that you present on this channel.
So well-stated! Echoing my own thinking, “1958, & there’s been No Progress, globally!”
I can only shudder at the pushback, derision, & hostility Dr. Kelly faced-THEN. Followed by the decade of assassinations against almost anyone publicly expanding on his notions as to so-called “race,” which should’ve been exposed as virtually meritless, stupid, & entirely unscientific outside of being “observable” based on phenotype appearance as its sole & invented substance.
Evil genius credit has to go, however, to the maintenance department who’ve kept hope alive in bypassing no stone being turned to “demonstrate” superiority because of their largely happenstance incarnation, & in knowing automatically whom to criminalize & pronounce as “guilty,” also based on the identical pseudoscience.
At the latest, by the era of color TV, intelligence should’ve prevailed, but never has at any given juncture of “discovery.” Just proves beyond doubt to me that the desperation to believe in something so futile, so asinine & so seriously worthy-of-ridicule I have to LOL at SOME of it, is genuinely ensconced as an emotional pillar which many governments/religions rely on so heavily to justify their own existence, that there’s almost little point in mentioning key differences in “beliefs” & “Truth.”
I just tend to do so because I can’t abide untreated Insanity, having experienced it firsthand. I find that it has a contagious effect that few ever apprehend. I hope you & others like yourself can do so, & arrest it before more waves of it eviscerate the planet & the species on & in it, claiming to have “evolved.” 🌲🌱🌵

People are so concerned about what "box" they fit into and what "box" others should be in. They forget to just be their own person. American society has been trending to adding more boxes, but it's still trying to shoehorn individuals into a "box" by some arbitrary trait.

I think it’s a good thing that more and more babies are being born biracial / triracial and multiethnic. Pretty soon, they won’t fit into any boxes, because they would have to check every box. I completely agree, I hate how Americans keep creating more and more labels and call it “freeing.” It’s weird how many people WANT a box to check! It’s strange meeting someone and basically being told, “label me this.” Like, I’m sorry, but I would like to see you as a unique individual, not a label.

Love your channel, you talk a lot about race. A topic that many people don't like to talk about. You cut straight into topics that many people find offensive. Love what you're doing, in our day and age we need it.
I appreciate it. I started because when I started digging into my family story, I found out it wasnt not as Black and White as I thought it would be.... you can watch those videos on here, too!
I'm 1/4 Portuguese and 1/8 Italian with the rest of my heritage being Dutch and Welsh. Because I can tan quite deeply, most likely due to my southern European heritage, I'm often taken to be someone of mixed Native American and Caucasian heritage. I've been asked what my tribal affiliation is, and have even had somewhat uncomfortable interactions with people who clearly don't like Native Americans. Then I would tell them what my actual heritage is and see a total shift in their attitude towards me. It's bizarre!
One of the ancestral populations of Europe the Ancestral North Eurasians had ancestry that peaks amongst Native American populations.
@@Xxx-y9d yep, I've heard this before. There's a common ancestry with the Upper Paleolithic Mal'ta Buret' culture in Siberia dating back to 24,000 years BP
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have you done a DNA test?
The reason why people did not like native Americans was because they slave traders they would take freed blacks and sell them right back to whites so that's probably why
What I notice is that notions about Irish, Italians, French, Germans said in this video for the most part don't exist and seem silly. However when it comes to blacks, mexicans or jews people STILL feel this way and media and institutional racism has reinforced these stereotypes in 2023!!
When black people get a karen or ken approaching us and asking why we in this neighborhood or do we live here. Its based in this! That we are criminals or dont belong in certain areas
America was at war with Germany and Italy 13 years earlier the country finally view Irish as White a long time ago
Up until the 1960s the negative characterization of people by race, ethnicity, and national origin was pretty common! The Irish were considered violent reactionaries, Slavs (Czechs and Poles) were considered stupid, Germans were considered punctual and warlike. Racial, ethnic, and national slurs were used everywhere! I grew to hate such slurs because the “B” word and “P” word were used against Czechs and Poles!
Yeah those groups became “white” in time. That identity began to supersede the nationality of those groups.
Even in the '80s in the Southwest I heard Polish jokes even though not many Polish people lived in my area
The thing is, statistics do clearly show that African Americans commit a very disproportionately high amount of violent crime and theft. So it's not like this belief isn't based in reality... Sorry, just stating the facts 🤷♂️
I do this same work BUT it is heard when it comes from someone who looks like you. You are doing an excellent job.
Im glad we are doing this together, it takes both of us.
I’m white…mostly Scottish and English with some welsh, Irish, German and Norwegian mixed in. My wife is from Ecuador…60% indigenous, about a quarter southern European (mostly Spanish), 7% sub-Saharan African, and a dash from the British isles. When we had children in the 90s, we were very conscious about discrimination and perception, so we decided to give our children Anglo-American names for fear that they’d be discriminated against if they had Spanish names. Our children are racially/ethnically ambiguous…very dark hair, brown eyes, high cheekbones, lightly tanned skin…and some freckles on their faces. Two of them have straight hair, one has thick wavy/curly hair (my dad’s side of the family had the same type of hair).
People need to understand that this is not from times very long ago. This is only 70 years ago. Most people who faced this type of racism are still alive and people think racism is over.
Exactly, some like to pretend we’re living in a post-racial society! Only “some” of us are.
What's terrifying to me is how people who have been persecuted for race and religion can turn around can you turn around and do the same exact thing that was to them to a group of people that they look upon as being interior because their race skin color and religion does that mean as people we can't learn from the pass
😮😢terrifying to me
You wouldn’t happen to be referring a current indiscriminate bombing campaign in reaction to a hostage situation?
I come from a multi-generational mix family. That means I can see the conflict going on in the world from a unique vantage point. I'm talking about man's humanity to man. How we cannot learn from our mistakes. To be truthful it's not even about race or religion.It's about money and power.How people use religion and race to gain power.My opinion is America doesn't really care about the Israeli state. Americans care about money. The oil rights , protect their investments in the region.Corporations don't have a race or religion.so what if people die. that's what happens when corporations do business on a global scale.The greed is what's terrifying to me.

Agree with you 100%. It annoys me when people say “religion causes all the world’s problems”. No, religion is just a tool some use to subjugate others or justify their reason for committing horrific acts against other human beings.
If not religion, they just use some ancient claim to land or a decades long conflict to fuel their war.

Your story about being called a woman of color is interesting. It's fascinating the many stories of people now through DNA tests discovering surprising ancestry, where they recount being identified as such prior. Sometimes of course those stories are also sad because of family secrets. Nonetheless I find them all so intriguing.
Im always intrigued, too. I think sometimes people see things in us we miss in the mirror. But either way, the assumptions based on the shade of someone's skin AT THAT MOMENT, is something we need to move away from
Fascinating. Dr Kelly was way ahead of his time. I'm very interested in seeing more.
Again thank you for doing this! This really should be addressed better in schools.
Hahaha! Florida has outlawed it!
Yeah, let's leave it to Republicans! They are trying to erase history by burning books and telling us CRT makes people more racist, yes this is the kind of crazy we are dealing with nowadays. Hell, they even say that America was never racist.
Thanks for sharing Danielle , that was very interesting. What a brave man to challenge stereotypes and racism that way back then.
One thing I have encountered is the tendency of some not to look more deeply into history in order to rationalize their own hatred. Even well respected media outlets have done this. The positive outcome is that more scholarly individuals will do the research to counter this kind of bias.
Exactly, well said.
Good presentation. There should be no relationship between so-called race and behavior. But there is a relationship between culture and behavior, as shown with the Nazis and other cultures. Books of slurs - very interesting.
yes, I meant to try to look up that book
Yes I'm interested to see more of these. Speaking of blood types between the races. I'm black American and my wife is Filipino. Years ago out daughter was pre mature and had complications that caused her to need blood. All three of us have A+ blood type, but my wife and I were not able to donate blood. My white American friend had A+ blood type and was able to donate blood for my daughter. So much for different blood types between the races.
You also have "Blood group" antigens to go along with Blood Types. If you are getting a blood transfusion they do a "Type and Screen" (an antigen-antibody screen) along with Blood-typing you. I was a lab tech in the military and I know all about this stuff. Having an O Blood type is not the same as having "Bombay Syndrome". But anyway, what they have found out (and it is scientifically documented by geneticists) is that a lot of BLACK PEOPLE have an extra set of DNA CHROMOSOMES. Some people call it "hidden DNA".
I have heard you can tell race by blood type but I don't think that's an exact science. Especially in the Americas.

I was in a terrible car accident in 2001 - brain injury, broken bones, internal organ bruising, etc. My dog had to be put to sleep. If I were a dog, they'd have put me to sleep.
It took 3 years to recover. When I was able to read the police and hospital reports, I was described as a well nourished Mexican woman of 35 yrs of age. I am very fair, have blue eyes, and dark curly hair. My "ethnicity " is English and German. So my family and I couldn't figure out why I was described as Mexican. I certainly do not look "Mexican ", I look like a white European American girl. Also, I was never asked for ID or health insurance - which I had.
I was treated/ stabilized in the small rural hospital and released. A few days later was taken to the big city hospital were I was really examined/ treated - e-xrays, MRI, pain meds and received a real diagnosis.
It just goes to show how subjective physical observations of a person can be. I never got a bill from the rural hospital. We decided the rural hospital made a judgment call based on my appearance that I was indigent and maybe couldn't pay the bill?
They did estimate age correct, tho....... 😑
Sorry to hear about your accident. But you are also goofy for thinking that Mexicans are a race and not a nationality. I'm mexican American and look white. Mexico are just like America. They have different variants of everything.
Sounds like they categorized you as Mexican so you wouldn’t get billed. Of course when you were categorized correctly you then got billed
Wow!! It goes to show how people perceive people and their limited experience.
@felipenunez2058 I used ethnicity and nationality to describe myself, not race. Mexican is a nationality with many different ethnicities. The point is that the hospital made a judgment call on my appearance and assigned an ethnicity/
nationality and based on their assumptions, maybe my ability to pay without asking for ID or insurance?
@@marydlutes1792 I hear you and dig that. That's 4Real!

The term " race" only appeared in the language in the 12th century. Before the term came about in the English speaking countries most people were id via tribe, religion language but as many in tjose group had various skin color. So became the division of race according to skin color😊
It’s more than just skin color it’s phenotypes often times in order to discriminate specifically those of African decent and then snowball into all other categories or countries one despises.

With the last name Kelly it’s obvious the doctor’s ancestry was Irish so he’d have a first hand knowledge of what it means to be considered second class , his ancestors probably had to leave Ireland because of colonial oppression, ethnic cleansing, slavery and famine caused by the British colonization of Ireland that sparked endless conflicts, rebellions and civil strife. Every Irish person is acutely aware of their own families history and how they survived the barbarism of colonialism and subjugation , racial abuse and bigotry .
We were taught this in school and also discussed and debunked in class, but this video is great to show what was taught in earlier America but not that long ago.
I remember those were the "era" of the "disaffected white supremacist" that needed a scapegoat and someone [racial groups ] of people to blame for their lack of mobility, and their entitlement on employment and racial hierarchy in America. I have actually seen worse, and this type galvanized me to act. I would love to know what motivated or what happened to the people in the video.
I wonder if they were uncomfortable with these pseudo-racial stereotypes. This man and his presentation are to make you think about what is America, and what is still controversial and problematic to society since this place is nothing but racial designations and assumed racial designations !
If you really want to research someone that has horrible pseudo-scientific views is J. Philippe Rushton book "Race, Evolution, and Behavior. Peace
Yes, definitely.
And, I would love to see a collab with you and David Hoffman.
He also has a channel here on RUclips with a lot of interviews with many people throughout the decades, recording their experiences and lives.
i just read a book by Jack El-Hai "The Nazi and the psychologist" yes and this guy, from the Nuremburg trails has a starring role. Its very good and has an audiobook version, too. 1945 was a real eye opener for Americans and their own racism and what it ultimately leads to
Some people in the US would say Dr. Kelley was too "woke".
This is the CRT that they would really hate!😂😂😂
It is good to see where race and skin colour stereotypes come from especially when they debunk assumptions. Thanks for keeping the conversation around race alive. ❤
* Let me go look up Dr. Kelley, though I am a little fearful of what I will find... *
Danielle, you mentioned this doctor was in the military service! Oof!! Ughzz!! Lol, he said Sicilians were nappy!lol! Well, he made one good point in where he said other countries might view Americans gangsters like Chicago gangsters. I'm sure that's historically true.
To censor thoughts and ideas is to drive them to ground and let them grow roots.
Bring ideas into the open and let them face the test of scrutiny, analysis and time.
Truth can face critique, lies cannot.
How is it they were more free and honest in expression, in 1958, than we are today ?
I love how you worded this. I am planning to bring more things from the archives over the next few weeks.
Political correctness has a good side and a bad side.
I'm curious to know where you found this information. All I've been able to find is information on his work with the Nuremberg trials ☹
Periscope films has it!
7:00 He circled Poland thinking it was Germany! 😂 That's hilarious
Hmm, I don't think his views were mainstream by the late 1950s. Yes many nonscientist believed it, but how many actual paleontologist, anthropologist, biologist and other experts on human evolution held these views by the 1950s? The late 1800s and early 1900s yes, but by the 1950s? I doubt it. I need to know about his scientific background. Being a psychologist and criminologist is not even close to being enough.
look up his work with the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials!
**With** the Nazis or refuting them?
I just looked him up. His biography doesn't mention a thing about him being say an anthropologist, just a psychologist evaluating accused Nazi war criminals. In that he was respected, but for that field, not human evolution. His end was tragic though, shortly after he made this film.
@arrow1414 people have these views today! Yes in 1950 there are numerous sociologist and RELIGION taught about how black people were inferior or cursed. Read the book medical apartheid. There are medical notions that black people don't feel pain like white people do. There are European far right groups that still believe in ethno and nationalistic purity in the UK, Germany, Italy just to name a few
@@Theinfamouskiki411
I have no doubt with all of that. I was just saying that was not the mainstream expert view in the relevant sciences like anthropology or biology by even the late 1930s.
There are many people who are expert, even brilliant in one field of science but don't know what the hell they are talking in a totally unrelated branch of science. After all, William Shockley, the co inventor of the transistor in 1947 and so started the high tech world we live in today with portable electronic devices, was an award winning physist (including the Nobel Prize) was also an amateur eugenicist and stone cold racist. But yes many people in power who were not scientist in the relevant fields (although there were a small number of racist there too, just not the consensus) had racist beliefs and it affected people's day to day views and some government policy.
I really love your work . Most of us who watch this stuff are ofcourse in many ways pretty aware of our nasty past but u really have a way a showing some wild stuff that just some of us have probably just haven't seen..
Thinking that determining race by blood type instead of colour would irradicate racial discrimination is the most observed thing i have heard this year. On the bright side, this is also one of the most interesting videos I've seen that logically and intellectually talks of the issue of race and how to deal with racial discrimination. I much say, the problem is beyond interlect more so about social culture.
I really enjoyed this. Dr. Kelly was very impressive.
One thing I really hate is the term "person of colour"
I am from New Zealand and to my disgust this expression has made a belated appearance on our shores in the last few years.(Sadly American 'culture' pervades every nook and cranny of the world).
Whatever the motivation is that users have, all it does is 'other' the 'person' they are referring to in my book and I can't see how its use is justified.I wish people would just stop using it.
Great work, this is an excellent HISTORY lesson 👏. I'm baffled as to why I never before saw any of the video you showed. Continue to enlighten.
You just did something no one else has accomplished. You shared something profound and sad, aggravating and hopeful? This is AMAZING info from a time gone by yet still existing today just as strong. That laid the system out clearly.
Keep shining a light on our history because there is a movement to make it disappear from the ears and eyes of new generations.
It will never disappear
I love how scientists and mainstream television used to be so much more honest and interesting! What a find that clip is. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I was born in 1956 and I wish I could live longer enough to see human being realize that drawing a arbitrary, imaginary line between them is totally insane. You have a new subscribe.
I appreciate you being here and agree with you 100%. I hope the next generation learns to love each other a little bit more
Oh Wow I was born in 1959. Just think I had to live through this and my grandmother was born in 1908 is sad that we have to live our lives believe in a lie. The facts are at the end of the day. We are all human is just like, a bouquet of roses, different color and yet it is still a Rose❤❤
Brilliant 1958 reel, accurate descriptions, truth spoken on tv!
This is fascinating, both the original b&w film and your take on it
I'm fascinated by physiognomy and skin tone and where I live in Southern Europe many of us Northern Europeans develope a year round tan which somewhat alters our appearance and makes us look different from our paler countrymen ( the British can look quite palid). I'm 100% British, but I am almost always mistaken for German - mostly by Germans. It happeneded again yesterday, when an Austrian told my wife he assumed I was German, and when she told him I was English he said that, to him, I didn't look English. Not a problem now, but a few decades ago when Germans were not so popular with the British, I would probably have been quite upset about it.
Imagine how little prejudice we'd actually have when we realize we all came from a common ancestry. There always has to be justification. Irish, Greeks., even Native Americans had slaves!
Other cultures having slaves does not excuse your culture.
@@johnnyearp52 his culture doesn't excuse your culture either. And mine his, and yours mine, and mine yours lol.
@@muddyhotdog4103 Exactly. If you look at slavery like murder. If one person commits a murder that does not excuse someone else's murder. Even if many people have committed murder that does not make murder right.
So if one society practiced slavery that does not excuse another society practicing slavery. And even if many societies have practiced slavery that does not make slavery right.
Yup. This went on into the 70s. I was bussed from my local elementary school. Which was actually a science school. When "Blacks" moved into our neighborhood there was white flight. Germans and Italians attended the school before us. My first day of school I walked in the classroom to find Sambo on the chalkboard. Sambo was used to tell the weather. When it rained Sambo had a rain hat and boots. We were not, and still are not seen as human by many people.
Walter Plecker, the eugenicist who initiated the work on classifying "Blacks." Formally differentiating us from society.
The best video of this era on racism I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
Yes I would like to see more from the archives. This was very enlightening.
Keep making these videos. They are a beacon of light for humanity.
Sister Girl, you just broke my last brain cell. I can't right now begin to tell you the struggle I'm in. Some I fell into from birth and most, I've brought up on myself. You fell into my feed and it was at the exact moment I was about to raise. You made it possible for me to 'pass' another night. Now, I've got to run through your work and try to not fall out while doing so. Keep on; we need you. Appalachian town next...
I just want to know how the "subjects" were chosen to participate and what they thought about the discussion.
I thought the same thing!! those guys sitting there silent was a little 😳
Awesome, I’d be interested in seeing more videos from the past.
Interesting but it is important not to overstate the case. Culture certainly can contribute to criminality (and not just arbitrary notions of criminality). Some cultures are more conducive of law, order, and flourishing. There are often measurable different patterns of criminality among different races, and when acting on limited time and information, one must consider this; but what makes that irrelevant in many cases is you often do have time to get to know specific individuals for whom averages are irrelevant. Finally, descriptions are more helpful the more descriptive they are; and yes, average differences and the typical range of characteristics associated with races and ethnicities can help one narrow one’s focus to better identify someone.
I was going to say it sounds like a trip back to the 1950s. I grew up hearing these things.
I'm Mexican and I approve this message. LoL Very interesting video and information. Hope to see more.
Professor James Walvin said this about Europeans envolvment in the Slave Trade
"'they [Europeans] didn't become slave traders because of racism, they became racist because of the slave trade.' As a means of proving that the process of African enslavement was justifiable the concept of a hierarchy of human races existing was employed."
His hair is Wooly .😮
Please continue! Can't believe that guy, and his points, were televised in 1958.
America, originally applied to the aboriginals, or copper-colored races(negroes), found here by the Europeans; but now applied to the descendants of Europeans born in America.
7:00 Unfortunate mistake marking Poland as Germany lol
He was doing so much better live than I could, LOL
Ahh, there goes Germany trying to take over Poland again lol
Hi Danielle, I just watched this and it was very interesting! I really like your content its informative... But I wanted to ask you, how were you able to search your ancestry, I am in the process of searching because I am of African and Native American descent...I was born in Georgia, Thank you❤
This is a wonderful video, and an important endeavor.
I’m looking forward to sharing this with my parents. ✌🏼
16:00 Even if it might be the human condition, it's better to be aware of it and understand why people behave the way they do, so that you have some control wether to behave that way as well
Loved this one. Definitely important because these were never confronted properly in the first place.
Watching from the UK 🇬🇧 😊
haven't even watched yet but in the unclicked play i caught something about the n hair not being silky soft.
in a pharmacy waiting next to me were an elderly white couple and i am beige. the gent asked to touch my hair and i said sure. my white companion was more offended and appalled that i assented.
i did so to dispel mistaken ideas about black hair. he reacted like i knew he qould. "it'a so soft," he said in softly voiced surprise and he thanked me after. they were of a certain generation, open enough to learning something new about what i already knew. it's just hair. 🙂
I appreciate you sharing this. I was sitting there reacting to this video after JUST having had my hair relaxed at the salon. It should be just hair at the end of the day... :)
How can you be ‘cunning’ and ‘stupid’ at the same time?
Lt. Colonel, Dr. Douglas Kelley sadly committed suicide the year this film was made by ingesting Potassium Cyanide in front of his wife, father and eldest son in New Years Day g1958. It was tragic and bizarre.
The information that’s been collected and shared from your platform is so valuable that I can only describe it as humans entering the vast complexity of space; yes you’ve reach space but that’s only the beginning or is there nothing more ?
there’s so much more. I’m excited to share what I’ve been learning!
Wow! What a gem I found. We are all human beings.
Definitely ahead of his time. Very interesting. Good video.
