The Heritage of Slavery (1968) w/ Fannie Lou Hamer & Lerone Bennett, Jr.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 дек 2016
- News documentary from 1968 hosted by George Foster, exploring the legacy of oppression that remains over 100 years after the abolition of that peculiar intitution. In Part 1, Foster visits Charleston, SC and speaks with both descendents of slaves and slave owners. The cameras capture a sermon by Rev. Henry Butler of the Mother Emmanuel AME Church (where Denmark Vesey planned an unsuccessful slave revolt in 1822 and Dylan Roof would later kill 9 church members in 2015). In Part 2, the cameras go to Mississippi to speak with former sharecroppers and political activist FANNIE LOU HAMER. In the final segment, we travel to Chicago, where Prof. JAMES TURNER and activist CALVIN LOCKRIDGE educate young people about revolution. Ebony Magazine editor and historian LERONE BENNETT offers a poignant analogy to describe the times we are in today. From www.archive.org Assumed to be in the Public Domain.

How that interviewer remained so calm when his ancestors were described as superior pets, was an amazing display of self control.
....sometimes it's good to let people talk and listen to how stupid they are...hahaha!!!
Slap 👋 him.🤦♂️
His face says it all he was disgusted but remained professional plus it's good to hear it from the source
Ian Wynne ikr I would’ve went OFF

The woman who had a slave to work for her says, the slave was lazy.🤨.....You purchased a stolen person ...to work for you...so.......you didn’t have to work and they are lazy?
The irony right?!
Exactly!
@@stubs1227 So the person who does the WORK is lazy and the person flattening their backside from armchair supervising (and stealing the laborers pay though force) is honorable?
Same shit I was thinking...
@@stubs1227 But you keep your mouth closed in the real world....
I’m learning that everything each person said about a slave “lazy, uncivilized” was an exact description of themselves.
Contagious.
Its projection and deflection
Classic behavior from someone who doenst want to
1) see their own wrong doings
2) be held account lable and responsible for their own bad behavior
You couldn't gave read the above statements,lazy and uncivilized? Why did you bring use here, we were civilze in or country and hard workers, that is why we were stolen to work for your ancestors...lazy folks
Exactly, they we're merely projecting.

re "I’m learning that everything each person said about a slave “lazy, uncivilized” was an exact description of themselves." Most whites were treated badly too. Thus the Bacon Rebellion: When Elites Taught Whites Racism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon%27s_Rebellion
The f'ed up part was when elites suckered poor whites to stop fighting WITH blacks to end elitism, rather than playing elites' patsy, like this: Why Whites do Elite's Bidding ruclips.net/video/ZcQNOL2tQ4g/видео.html

I'm 61 years old. My parents moved to Brooklyn NY in 1962, I was 3, my sister 2. We would go down south to visit in North Carolina (their home) and stop at a gas station and i'd say mom i have to go to the bathroom. She'd take me and when we got back to the car she said to pop...."I'm so sick of this shit down here, i dont know what to do". Just like that. I didnt know what was going on, i'm just 5 years old. I didnt find out what that was about until i was grown and asked her. She said the gas satation attendent sent us to the back of the gas station and she pull my pants down and i pissed in the woods. That was 1964 in Virginia, just before getting on The Chesapeak Bay Bridge Tunnel, on our way to Severn, North Carolina.

that is heartbreaking. thank you for sharing your story
God bless your parents souls. My mom worked in a factory, in the mid 60's she was big pregnant, due anytime... The white woman said "the heat from the machine making my tummy hurt" the supervisor said to my (black) mother, work at the same machine? My mother said but I have a baby in my stomach? They said all sorts but my mother said no and walked out and never went back.It was me in her tummy. These people truly saw us as a lowest form of humans and still do to this day. Both my parents are gone too and dearly missed.
Thank you for sharing this history, please share it with the National Archives too.
My (Black) US History from 1865 professor was born in probably the early 1950s (he was like 11-13 when JFK was killed), & he grew up in California. When he was like 8, his family drove cross the Sun Belt to visit family in the South. After the family entered TX, the gas stations they'd stop at to gas up, stretch their legs, use the restroom, get something to eat, etc. would get further & further apart. Once they finally stopped at a station, my professor, being an 8-year-old, eagerly started towards the station like usual, only for his dad, who normally NEVER physically touched his kids, to grab him by his arm to pull my professor back. My professor was very confused by his family then having to go to the back of the station, where they ate surrounded only by other Black people. His parents explained the full situation to him a few years later.
Kudos to the interviewer for the incredible self control of hearing so much trash ignorance!
The black man has intelligence over the white man that's why the interviewer was calm cool and collect. Couldn't have been me I'd beat his ass Midway through the interview

I was just thinking this!!
I could not believe what I was hearing! He fully believed he was superior. Am Irish by the way, and disgusted. It reminds me of how the English aristocracy used to look at us generations ago
When a slave CAME from Africa? We didn't book a cruise. We were kidnapped and BROUGHT here!!
+Phyllis Russell So true. Did u watch the Testimony at 17:30 and Fannie Lou Hamer part? Very powerful
reelblack oh I've watched the whole video. Twice!! When the brother takes about how we were brought here for manual labor and now that those jobs are becoming scarce then our use is in question. This is something I have been telling people for years but it falls on deaf ears. We just can't see what is going on until it's too late.
And he said that shit with a straight face, like we flew here on delta airlines and they met us at the airport and adopted us smh... We were kidnapped.
What gets me is when they say "when a slave came from Africa". People were came from Africa. Calling them slaves is a way to take away their humanity and try to make them feel better about what they did.
How could you watch this documentary, then go on to mischaracterize a successful black man? At some point, we have to stop blaming white people, and demonizing our own and take responsibilty for our own actions.
George Foster, the interviewer, has an unbelievable amount of restraint and professionalism.
It's the humanity in us
This should be required viewing in all schools. Hard to watch.
Especially in these times
THE DEVILS WON'T ALLOW THAT...SHARE!!!

Listening to the white woman talk about her “ playmate” made me remember stories I heard from those German civilians talk about “ we didn’t know they were murdering Jewish people” I say BULLSHIT! They are lying, they knew exactly what Black people were going through! They were happy to oppress them and murder them... just like the Germans knew that all those Jewish people were being murdered and just tried to cover it up when they got caught.

Absolutely
He called slaves a superior pet! Woww this is heart breaking
I don't know how he finished the interviews. There would have been some ass kicking .
The same my grandfather talked about Africans. Just the equal way. The same time around. Teaching us about the superior white race. In Portugal. Those days Portugal a crimal colonial dictatorship country. Murdering millions of Africans and draining the African colonies of theirs wealth, up to the 1970s. Now, today I believe racism is the same inside just more political correct on the outside. And the theft more suffisticated.
Raymond Palmer Did you say there were more white slaves then black slaves in America?
It was true back then.

Deliver Us Oh Lord!!!!

Watching this video makes me weep. I am white, Scottish, and cant understand how any white could enslave blacks and convince themselves it wasnt evil.. Likewise, i cant get my head around any blacks assuming all whites either deny the extent of the horrors or are racist. Its just not true. I feel enraged on behalf of all those stolen from their homeland into the hell of slavery and saddened that racism still thrives, anywhere.

But in a different way
Another thing that is so starkly evident in this film is that the African Americans of 1968 were talking about making changes in all kinds of ways. They were sober, clear headed and knew what needed to be done and were prepared to do it! This is why drugs were unleashed on African America soon after Nixon was elected president in November 1968. The intent was to neutralize the discontent of inner city Black folks. It worked and we haven't been the same since!!
Pam you are intelligent 🤓, that's right coz you can tell that black people are not prepared as they were in the 60s
Pam so true

Yes drugs, churches on every block and no decent grocery stores.
Krystal Edwards I agree💯💯💯💯💯. Yes when the white man saw all those black women and men standing up for themselves and growing powerful organizations in the 20 century they got scared and start removing whatever made us powerful.
Fannie Lou Hammer preached reality over 50 years ago and her words are still resonat today.

Good to see our Democrat PROGRAMMING WORKED ON YOU, more whites ARE and were slaves than blacks. Instead of whining and cry babying all the time why not do like the organizations that are freeing slaves NOW. BTW TODAY'S slaves re treated FAR WORSE than any in America. ALL RACES have been slave ONLY blacks cry baby about it ALL THE TIME!
Fanny Lou Hamer!!!! What a brilliant,brave and articulate woman!!! She deserved a seat in the government!
A seat in the government for what?? What has any of our ppl in the government done for us? The same shit that was going on here goes on today. All these years later and nothing has changed.
She tried everything she could to have a seat at the 1968 Democratic Convention, but the party insiders were having none of that. Her speech at that convention was powerful and righteous. Anyone who isn't touched profoundly when they hear it isn't human.
So true

@@flatearth9140 Plenty of blame to go around but no accountability for the dead.

I have no doubt this is what SOME white people want but not most. They are guilty and confused about racial issues so they voted for Obama. Others are indifferent. Most blacks and whites live in a bubble out of fear. If you treat people the way you want to be treated...creating and sharing the same opportunities for education, housing and jobs this country would not be crumbling before our eyes. When you stir up the wind you create a whirlwind. 400 years of physical bondage is in the past. Blacks must come together; transcend victimhood and accept responsibility for the breakdown of family. Whites must deny white superiority over blacks.These attitudes are ungodly. Return to God and morality. Hate is not the answer. Only then will America be great again.

What was it like growing up there for you?
Rotten devil's never trust Satan

Maybe because he was smart enough to understand and not take it personally. Unlike you, LOL
Alexander A I understand the content of the interview in the context of history. I would be interested in re-enacting this interview with you to understand your position. Let me know if you’re up for it.
mulattoraver ... Why would you re-enact this interview with me when I have not experienced having a slave. My position is merely based on what I have read in books and stories that were told. Here, the person being interviewed was being TRUTHFUL and unfiltered. His position is what matters the most.
Alexander A I’m simply interested to know why our views are so different when it comes to this video. What is it you see that I don’t? I find the video upsetting, but you seem dismissive of that because of what you read. Okay. So why don’t you educate me? What should I have read?
I wrote down the interview questions, and I see now that it would be unfair to ask you to answer them. Here they are anyway. Some of them are somewhat paraphrased.
1. Do you think slavery is immoral?
2. What was life like in those early days?
3. What do you think are the differences between the races?
4. Is it possible that the white man has something to do with the failure of the black man to assimilate?
5. What has tended to make you more liberal?
6. What did you think of us before you thought of us as human beings?
The interview is a valuable historical record, but I wonder how many people still think of black people as high functioning pets.
Maybe we could reword the questions for a modern interview. Slavery is gone but racism and oppression are still here.
1. Do you think racism is immoral?
2. What is life like for minorities these days?
3. What do you think are the differences between the races?
4. Is it possible that white privilege has something to do with the failure of the black man to escape oppression?
5. What has tended to make you more liberal?
6. What do you think of black people?
The questions are rather stiff, but a modern version of the interview would be something like that.
Anyway, my guess is that you won’t answer this comment, because it’s getting rather long and useless. It was nice talking to you though.
mulattoraver ... Our views may not even be different about how bad slavery was. The difference is, I don’t hate the present for something that happened in the past. And I also understand that people and moral standards back then were very different. But yes, let me go ahead answer your questions.
1. Slavery is immoral
2. Can’t answer because I did not live in those times.
3. There are a lot of differences in races. Culture, traditions, history, values and principles, etc
4. Yes and naturally so. There’s always majority resistance against ANY minorities in ANY country or situation. For instance, Muslim countries for years, even today, have struggled with Christians assimilating in their land.
5. I’m more conservative than liberal.
6. I’ve always thought of any person as a human being.
Racism and oppression will always exist. Unfortunately, racism exists in us all. You can lie about it, but you are racist as well. Just at different levels. Oppression is a result of extreme racism that should not be tolerated and is already a crime. Now to answer your 2nd set of questions.
1. Racism is not always immoral. Could simply be a preference or opinion or sometimes a fact.
2. There will always be difficulties and challenges when you are part of a minority group. But the US is the best in the world when it comes to protecting their minorities and enforcing equality.
3. Culture, traditions, history, values and principles, etc
4. Advantage yes, privilege no. Being part of the majority group will always have its advantages over someone who is in the minority group. Always remember that the majority will always rule, never the minority.
5. I’m more conservative than liberal
6. I think a lot of black people are messed up with their thinking.
I’m speechless... I will have my children watch this. This was just only 51 years ago. WOW.
Why? So they can be hateful?

Cynthia X please dont dump all the white folks into the same category. Not ALL whites are racists. Many many whites find these stories repulsive and degrading and are ashamed of the ancestors who participated in slavery. In history,there have been whites, Indians, Chinese, and others who were enslaved, its never been only about blacks being enslaved,at least as far as History is concerned. ALL races have suffered through enslavement at some point. But the thing i have trouble trying to understand is this, slavery has been over with for over 100 yrs. . But yet it seems to me that blacks are still in that "slavery days mindset" and havent let it go. Most HATE white folks for what happened to their ancestors that noone alive even remembers. Im not trying to pick a " utube keyboard warrior" battle with you or anyone else. So please dont take it that way.ok? Im not attempting to offend you or anger you ,or Heaven forbid, hurt anyones feelings. I just want to gain a better understanding of WHY grudges and hatred are still so much in todays society. I Despise the fact that ANY race has been enslaved and treated like they dont matter. History tends to repeat itself at times, i pray to our God in Heaven that never happens again . Hopefully ,before i leave this world , that these issues have been resolved and ALL races can live in PEACE & HARMONY. The song lyrics from "Heal the World" by Michael Jackson will always come to my mind when there are race issues going on. MJ was an awesome ,talented and beautiful human being that loved "everybody" the same , i wish the rest of us could. God bless you and your family. Im very sorry for what happened to our great great great grandparents so long ago. 🙏🇺🇸

Slavery still exists corporately, contractually, criminally, religiously, and institutionally (scientists who are employed by universities don’t own rights to their own work, they are institutional slaves).
Prefer Not To Say Exactly!
FLAT EARTH Yup!
@@BeastmodeBeats THATS NOT THE KIND OF SLAVES WE ARE DISCUSSING HERE !!
The interviewee states that slave were happy because he remembers them singing while they were working.. he doesn't realize that singing is a coping mechanism of self- soothing in adverse conditions.
You can also laugh at times even while depressed.
She said this flag is DRENCHED IN OUR BLOOD.
don't forget about the part about the young people today not putting up with it if you're not going to let us have it then we going to take it
"Somebody had to take care of them" or you could have just left them alone....
LA L. They are talking about themselves. “We needed blacksto take care of us we were like little children.” That’s what she’s really saying.
YOU know what disputes that LIE, BLACK WALL STREET.
Unfortunately, someone had to buy them. They were captured by waring tribes.
Money makes the world go round, honey.
I love to pass for black then I get all that pity pu$$y from white and black girls. Plus everyone treats me better because they get are afraid I'll go all cry-baby and call them a racist...
I have no desire to make you cry. My goal is to make everyone happy. Especially you.
May the spirit of Denmark Vesey & Nat Turner bless every African-American.....ase
Amen
ProjectDystopia ayibobo ache
Nat Turner story is a fiction story
arny you got any document proof that is not true. Do you have document proof that all slaves were adaptable and compliant to racism and did not rebell and fight for freedom? Exactly what do you know about anything?
Gaspar Yanga's soul and the maroons as well.
As a Charlestonian, I am saddened to see this documentary but am thankful for it. My Aunt turned 92 last weekend and I love hearing her share her past (the good, the bad, and the ugly). My Dad is the baby of the family at 73 years young and his knowledge of Charleston is astounding - disheartening to know he grew up during this time.
I can see the pain in the old people’s eyes it’s heartbreaking like wtf
Mrs. Ruby Cornell is right. "As long as you were a doormat, you'll have wonderful relations." "It never occurs to them that we were good on who's terms?"
And here's the reason (s) I will never again recite the pledge of allegiance or sing the star spangled banner. Period.
Deidre Haynie me too
Exactly and I’m going to teach my kids to not participate
Deidre Haynie 100% Agree!
Free White and 21 Don’t mind the ignorance in stubs dude is in love with black folk for some odd reason 👀
I love to pass for black then I get all that pity pu$$y from white and black girls. Plus everyone treats me better because they get are afraid I'll go all cry-baby and call them a racist...
Whoo Chile 😓 I’m TRYING!!! I’ve been avoiding this documentary for a while now and I see for good damn reason
I’m @ the 5:33 mark....boy I’m trying HARD AS HELL to get through this. WHOOOOO LAWD GIMME STRENGTH!!!!
Whoo Chile😂I hear you girl, so hard to watch. Lord Remember us, your children. Remember your promise to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. Please open your children eyes to the truth.
Pat Hendric how bout you free your mind from the slave master’s religion
Smartana Jones what are you talking about? You don’t believe in the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. I’m at peace and I don’t have a slave master, but the Heavenly Father is my one and only master whom I love and trust.
Pat Hendricks
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽🕊
2019 and I’m at a loss still.. How did these people think their stolen persons survived in their homeland?
Tomera Mata Probably very well until we intervened.
In grass skirts
some people are totally insane and refuse to acknowledge the hardships of slavery and how these hardships affect us today.
Some are selectively insane.
How u steal us away from our home then say were lazy and we had to do everything from sun up to sun down. But nothing has changed
rayray o
ray 1 facts! 💯
@Jacklynn Jackson Many of us are Afrikan.
Tell me the interviewer didn’t wanna slap these people lmao.
It did
One thing that racist said that is still true today is “ old customs die hard”. That was true then and it’s still true today in 2020.
"The real warfare is not the training the use of a weapon, is the training the use of the mind" best quote I ever heard.🔥💯

Black power
Lerone Bennett is a genius, This documentary is OUTSTANDING!!! I have been sleeping on his works. I'm going to seek out all his works and share it with my children and grandchildren.
Left Mississippi delta almost 5 yrs ago...never looked back
Fannie Lou Hamer ... an amazing but humble woman from Mississippi was in my opinion one of the greatest Americans who ever lived .. she was a true hero for all African Americans.. she stood up against the tyranny and opresssion that our people were forced to endure .. I wish all black youth today could have some of her strength and her spirit and continue the fight ... God Bless your Soul Fannie Lou X
That MF said we were like superior pets!!
@amy benje .....smh....sickening.
Marcus Harcus crazy. He said that they needed to think for us !!!!
Marcus Harcus That’s how ingrained their ideas were! Sickening
Marcus Harcus I am so glad that this documentary was made to capture the way this white man thinks.
Pit bull on Steroids.🤦♂️
This documentary is 1968 and it is 2017 many parts of this documentary we still talking about today 50 years later, crazy, just crazy. Wake up people!
De Klerk in South Africa in 86 said about the same thing. And devised a plan to wipe us out. If things that happened in the past stayed in the past with realistic restitution then the entire conversation would be different. As it stands, it didn't. The legacy of those evils are strategically, clandestinely, and sometimes not so clandestinely being perpetuated to this day.
People who don't appreciate conversations about it aren't considering the ones who are still living under the ugly. They're tired of hearing about it, we're tired of living it.
Be honest and ask yourself which you'd rather be and do?
We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock. Plymouth Rock landed on us. We were already here. FACTS
The blood sweat and tears of my ancestors are embedded in the soul of Charleston
That noise you hear is the sound of my blood boiling!
Summers Time Entertainment the emotions you’re feeling or of God. Scriptures say if our situation and oppression don’t make you feel angry then you shall be trust through meaning killed 😌ahhhhhhhh God is good great and beyond man
So what?? Boil away
America will reap what it sows.
It did. They fought a war over it and something like 1/3rd of the population died
Not enough died in the civil war.
More death is coming to America for slavery, if it doesn't repent.
Isn't America.
America is another settlement.
America has been fighting against oppression just as Africa and Asia.
Europe is the one thinking they have the right to everything including people's lives and dignity. Thanks God, many of them are waking up to reality and understanding that something has been very wrong with their unlimited worth.
Funkchild Bass pro yea white People 😆😆😆
You can kind of see it right now, pay attention.
Thank you for posting this, I am trying to control my upset and anger that has boiled up into my brain. I am so impressed with George Foster's elegant narration and the cool head that he maintained.
What an incredible documentary from 1968...thanks for posting this. Mr. Foster was just an incredible interviewer and was so patient in letting the "white lost causers" speak their own perspective, even though their responses spoke volumes in terms of irrational nonsense, racism, and prejudice. He also gave such a powerful platform for those rarely given a voice to speak their hearts with such honesty and authenticity.
This video gave insight but pissed me clean TF offffffff!!!!
Major eye opener! Looks like it's time to study history from outside of school. This video gave the essence of what it was like at a time I was not born. It also helped me see why whites today are sooo oblivious to oppression of blacks. Slavery as it was ended and so it appears that we are equal. Couldn't be further from the truth. It this world is very tricky and only a few can see through the muck.
You are so right. We will have to wake up first, before we can save ourselves. We must stop falling for the white mans distractions. We come from a strong culture. We must study and rediscover who we really are. I am WOKE
The man who was first interview by the black reporter was really miseducated. It still the mind set of today.
Oh he was extremely educated. Don't think any different less you become confused about the reality of the situation.
“They didn’t speak the language” as if they asked to be stolen to somewhere where there was a language barrier 💀
this attitude from white people is very real today
SO true ....
Absolutely!! They want to deny the TRUTH!! We already know!
Annette Collier yes it is.
Strawberry We learn for the best you racist inbred!
Wow that's crazy these people hear what they're saying and still want to talk shit about black people wow now that we're more civilized the stuff these white folks are saying is really horrifying and Abomination
They talked about slavery in this 1968 piece as if it happened 10 years ago. The scariest thing is that not much has changed since 1968 when they spoke about slavery as if it happened 10 years ago. The major change is that the bigotry turned undercover and now it is turning back to overt. America has never dealt with racism, so we are doomed repeat it.
Kenya W at that point it had only been a generation ago which is crazy
America has never dealed with racism...they have been given many opportunities to repent....so now God will deal with America...my African American sisters and brothers...hold on to your bootstraps.. ......James 5:1-8 (KJV)
That's bc at that time it wasn't that long ago. Hell it still isnt that long ago in 2019. The last documented slave died in the 70s. My parents were already in their 20s by then.
Think about it ! People can live 100 years. So if one were born 1850 , these people very likely could have Grown up with a Formally Enslaved person in their Life.
Repeat?! A M.F. need to get they a.. to the bargaining table to settle up our people reperations! What's the difference between an African American & a N....?! The African American will try to explain it. The N.... Will just slap the F... out of the m.f. asking!
Isnt trafficking the same thing as slavery? I want the word changed back to slavery.
All I know is God has the first the middle and the last say and he will deal with all the hateful demons
California is having temperatures up to 130 degrees, Arizona 112 degrees on an average day,God is about to show them
I must admit... the spokesman (interviewer) had a lot of tolerance control when he interviewed the old ex-slave owners. I probably would've strangled them after the interview!
Just saying...
moron, they weren't ex-slave owners, their grandparents were.
Rico Mason well said !!!
Bradley same thing!!
@@bortloffsr ...They had the mentally of a slaveowner. I wanted to strangle them myself.
I would have jumped on them as some as they opened their mouths
They should’ve did they own work instead of goin to other lands and literally stealing people to do their dirty work😡
Exactly. They should of went out in that hot sun and burned to death. That hot southern sun would of snatched their life out quick. But they're lazy asl
Dana Glover they were too weak
Talk about lazy!
"All across this country ... they know what they've done to us." (32:00)
And still they pretend, even in 2020, that they don’t know why the people’s anger comes from 😒😒😒
@@uedomwonyi MESSAGE!
Consider yourself lucky, if blacks were never brought here to the USA you would be appearing on tv asking for money donations for the many hungry Africans living in poverty.
@@melinda537 u one stupid bitch! 🥴
From the very inception of the stolen land that is this country, they have plotted to erase every man woman and child who is not white as soon as possible
Am Latino and I've been in this country since I was 17, am 34 now and after a lot of thinking, am sure that the only way to have just a little bit of justice, in this civilized times, is to pay money to every black person, in a way that they don't have to work ever again
anymore, that is something that can be done, because i now that the political wealth and power will never be relinquish.
I think the best solution is to send them back to Africa “their mother land” so they can go back on to having the lifestyle their ancestors had before they were brought here.
Watching this just really pisses me the hell off!!! Blacks were cohesive, in unison, a collective...many of them! I'm an 80's baby but I SALUTE, RESPECT ALLL THE REAL WOMEN AND MEN WHO FOUGHT AND RISKED THEIR LIVES FOR OUR PPL 👸🏾🤴🏿👊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
now you know why OJ simpson was acquitted from murder of two white people🌚
You weren't listening to the video. The narrator specifically said those strong black people were "a minority of a minority" and in the closing scenes said that most blacks wanted "to be in the white man's parade." We've made virtually no social or political progress whatsoever. The "get along to get along" attitude alive today was alive and kicking back then. First and foremost, black people just want to have a peaceful existence in America. Standing up and fighting against white supremacy pretty much guarantees no peace. So most choose not to fight but instead choose/beg to assimilate.
@@tayl0rd553 do you think OJ Simpson is innocent or guilty?
forget what the jury said what do you believe?
@@David.lovesU Tell me what that has to do with the price of tea in China, and I'll give you my honest answer.
@@tayl0rd553 you off topic I just saw on Simpson on Netflix at the end of the show when oj was acquitted a black juror threw up a balled fist and said "black power" black folks are united no matter what be black and proud
In the 50 years since this was produced, there have been major changes BUT some things have stayed the same. They need to make this a MANDATORY film to watch in ALL high schools across the country. You cannot deny what is being said here.
Can you explain to me the major changes cuz I seek it all lesbian the same damn way it was back then as it is now
If you was in Africa, you couldn't speak the language.
Stupidest thing I've ever read....as if Africa wasn't were language began.....idiot
I had the privilege to know
A graceful elderly friend named Ms Mattie who lived in Mountpleasant
SC off Charleston. She
Was born at the Boone
Hall plantation .her parents
Were slaves. Ms.Mattie
Took me for a tour to the
Boone Hall plantation.
I saw rows of small brick
Cottages were the slaves
Lived. The floor was dirt.
She also showed me the smoke house where the
Slaves smocked sausage
And leftover meat the
Masters did not est. She
Took me inside the big house . Apparently the
Movie Gone with the
Wind was filmed there.
It is a beautiful place.
Since I am not born in
America I did not connect
But I feel hurt. But Ms Mattie was always pleasant. I appreciated
Her warm hospitality. May
She RIP.
Awesome experience
Fannie Lou Hamer was the real deal & dont get enough credit. Speaking jewels at 31:24
10 Eyes TV yes she was, I would like a movie about here.
Yes!! She needs more recognition, a lot of black people know nothing of her. I love the portion she spoke about our blood is drenched in the flag.. especially with all the stuff going on in the NFL today.
We are still suffering as black people today we must unite and instead of trying to leap over each other let's work together and create businesses, property, and financial wealth
If we as a people starte thinking postive looking ouut for each put our minds postive not wrong but right we can stop thinking so much saturnic mass think postive have something together are along but have something for our selk with out back biting hurting each other if you have a problem you be surpise can help you slow down an look out forself cover your butt dont be left in the rain with zero look out cor yourself dont let know one take from you if they dont mean right just leave do have be knocked in head forever no check check if it dont add up 2 +2=4 you out that it walk away before the mas hit the fan because because nobody got tbe time for bull thats that if you xont mean right move on life is to short we have wasted a lots time already that it bye an the beat goes on look at it pray an move hope you dont cause troble because it be on like you never see an hope you never see again so we better off you go your an we go ours an thats that a dont cross our patb an we will not cross your are you put us in hell put you haven seen hell keep up your hole generation will well keep it up because we are all tried of you folks an we mean it all this we know in our head you be some smoke in the dust that be kick a side wind we walk on Y'LL do you want to see happen an we do it witb our thinking now keep up

The eloquence of this largely self-taught man is astounding. Can you imagine anyone , especially politicians, writing and delivering such a speech today?
We should be able to sue them for all they done to us eventhough It's way deeper the money.

"Mississippi is either gonna have to change - or there will be no Mississippi!" Wow!! POWERFUL words - that ring true for America today!
Very true!!!
Its ironic i was reading your comment when he said that. Wow.
When people say "slavery was so long ago" "I had nothing to do with it" , BUT your grandmother did. This was recorded in 68....
WRONG! MY grandmother ( God rest her soul ) had absolutely nothing to do with this crap. And many didn't. In fact, many died to free slaves and many were abolitionists. Quakers never EVER believed they were better than anyone else and many people just by their nature or religion didn't think so, either. Generalizing a group of people by color is racist. So don't generalize with white people, either, because the truth of the matter is that most white people were against slavery and did NOT have the mindset of these creeps in this interview. Never label a person by their color or race or religion. It's not OK for *anyone* to do that. There are no double standards.
"When a slave came from Africa"? You mean kidnapped people.
Shuby Duby Pro blackness you are right
Shuby Duby Pro blackness
Exodus 21:16
"Anyone who kidnaps someone is to be put to death, whether the victim has been sold or is still in the kidnapper's possession.
Did y'all see Mother Emanuel church where the kids were singing and the pastor was speaking about Denmark Vessey that's the same place where a racist Dylan Roof killed 9 people
