Read ProPublica's feature piece on how the US is the most dangerous industrialized country in which to give birth, and racial disparities in maternal mortality make it even worse for women of color: www.propublica.org/article/no... And they're seeking your help in understanding the problem. If you nearly died during pregnancy or know someone who died due to childbirth related causes, check out this page for more information: propub.li/2Ae5RMi
At 0:54, a previous version of this chart mistakenly said "deaths per 1,000 live births," but it is "100,000" instead. The error has been fixed.
UPDATE: On Tuesday, April 17, 2018 - New York removed the statue of J. Marion Sims as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s review of city markers that could be deemed “symbols of hate.”

“Black people don’t feel pain”.
Right. I’m sure slaveowners were using those whips just for fun.
LEFT4BASS Wow that's true, if blacks felt no pain then the whip made no sense
Ha, that's kinda funny but in a messed up way. But I think the whip might've actually made people believe blacks felt no pains as they got used to the pain or their pain sensors just stopped after a while.
Green Man there is no getting used to the pain of getting whipped . My ppl just had no choice on what they did
omg i was about to comment the same thing
That mentality flipped in health care and culture where I read in an RNs book that black people are hypersensitive to pain do they are taught to not cater so to speak to a black person who is complaining notice the response after the two week mark of the same ailment
These black women who were tortured like this.. those are the ones that should have statues.
Yes exactly .as a women I can. Not admagine!!! but this went on and of course they keep it hidden ..I say this do your research people!!!
Agreed!!
Every Black Woman deserves a Statue in every city in America. 😪😔
I would tear down the statue of that torturer. Abhorrent man.
They have statues in some Asian countries commemorating the “comfort women” of the Imperial Japanese military in WWII, so it makes sense to have statues of black women who were tortured. Along with statues, we need more information about the inhuman practices against black people back then, so history can actually be learned.
The fact that he could have used anesthesia and didn’t, proved that he enjoyed torturing black women. Just terrible and this devil got a statue?
@@fiveguysinmymouth4258 a hero wouldn’t do what he did,
@@fiveguysinmymouth4258 just say your racist :D
While he was obviously extremely racist, I think the issue is more nuanced than simply calling him a "monster".
Because as the video stated, there are a few very significant discoveries he's made, which I'm sure has done a great deal of good over the course of history.
In fact, one might say if we're looking at objective "creation vs. reduction" of human suffering, that his work might even be a net positive.
So, I understand why five guys could say he was a hero.
@@duxater2331 no they are just people that want to make people mad they know when theys ay that they will get negative comebacks or attention they dont care about the positive things he made
@@duxater2331 Yes! Of course! You got it! He used, I mean "tortured" other humans (at the time were not looked as humans), without anesthesia, to discover new advancements in the medical field. He's such a great guy......
‘Excruciating experimental surgeries’
He tortured them.
He just tortured them because he believed they didn’t feel pain/just enjoyed hurting them and claiming they didn’t feel pain.
And yet he hear their screaming and kept doing.
He didn't care if they felt pain. He knew exactly what he was doing
I met a nurse two years ago, who said they still teach that in medical school, blacks don’t feel pain, I was shocked that she told me that, I found out later that she harbored other racist beliefs. A nurse here in Milwaukee two years ago. Wow
They knew, they were just heartless and didn't care. So disgusting!
Something tells me the latter because the story clearly states his colleagues could no longer handle the pain he was inflicting on her. He was psychopathic ... even his colleagues knew.
The fact that they had to go through this without anesthesia sickens me.
Right. It had already been invented! They just chose not to use it.
It sickens anyone with a shred of humanity in them. The fact that the experiments were done in the first place is awful enough, but this? This rivals the hideous experiments done by the infamous Dr. Mengele on Jewish prisoners during world war two.
@Khadijah Muhammad what if I tell you some horrible things that your prophet done to black people.
@@youngmoe7850 please continue. Who is this prophet and what happened?
@@youngmoe7850 please go on what did he do? im quite interested
When people say: what have blacks contributed to society?
Our lives
First of all, when has someone ever said that. Second of all, you didn't have to go through slavery. So don't say "our lives" like you went through that.
To everyone still replying: I don't think either of our minds are going to be changed. You can tell me all day how oppressed you are without any evidence to back you up, but at this point I don't even really care about your opinion on the matter anymore. All I know is I'm going to continue living my "white priviledged" life and actually take responsibility for my problems instead of finding things to blame it on. I'm just happy I'm not like OP and people like her who are so desperate to victimize themselves that they actually end up believing it.
Infernecrosis 57 I get into an online argument every other day with so called “high iq” people saying blacks never contributed anything to society.. this is something I see daily in every form of social media... and I didn’t have to live through slavery to experience what is was like... our justice system does a good job of keeping slavery alive and well... every other day there’s a video on RUclips that proves things haven’t changed much at all
@@selendriamuganogo7077 I have never heard anyone say that "blacks haven't contributed to society", much less every other day, and most of the "racism" nowadays is just liberals trying to Make things racist. You just compared living a pampered normal life, to someone in the 1800s being abused, whipped, and forced to work himself to death for no pay just because of his skin color. The fact that you just compared your life to those people sickens me.
Infernecrosis 57 of course it does but you aren’t black so how could you understand... but I bet you benefit from all the experiments that were done on enslaved women... you probably benefit more from it than we do
@@sqzmheckington4730 Enjoy your fantasy world.
Rest in Power Lucy , Anarcha , Betsey & all the other Black enslaved women who were abused by these evil men!!! We remember you now and WE hold in the highest honor for all you had to endure.
Now days " people" see and hear about wrongs, but don't do anything to help or change things for the better and whisper it to their friends
Sadistic, and im pretty sure that said """doctor"""" felt turn on by torture the 17 year old, 36 surgeries that other white men condone that leave him, that said something
Angelic TroubleMaker...WELL SAID!@!
“Poured boiling water on the legs to the negroe” these weren’t experiments or gaining a medical understanding of anything. This was just plain torture, this lack of humanity needs to be taught more and a bigger part of our history. How deep these horrific stories and memories go is appalling, but not as appalling as the fact that this discrimination still continues today, even with the knowledge of these horrors.
The statue should be replaced with a statue of his 17 year old victim.
I agree
Maybe they should put her statue next to his? The operation to treat fistula IS a medical marvel, so he deserves to be remembered for that. At the same time, he also deserves to be remembered as a white supremacist.

As a Healthcare professional I IMPLORE my people, especially BW, to be your own advocate. Use google and always do your research on your MD and their practice. Always ask questions and if you don’t know what to ask, request ALL the literature pertaining to your illness/ medication/ procedure. That way you have a starting point. Just like we do with anything else needing major repairs- get 2nd opinions. We do it for our cars don’t we? Do not suffer in silence and report those who mistreat you or your loved ones!
I guess they skip this part in history class smh. Brutal.
How much do you think children need to know over a hundred years later? Your kids can only learn so much and something they could use is worth learning. Myata history is not really worth learning except for personal interest.

We are according to the white man to be used and discard. We built and maintain this country. What do we get in turn, oh just brutal police murders, called ghetto and un educated. Oh it infuriates me! If you’re white and you don’t feel shame to your core, you’re just like the racist and bigoted “fathers” of this country.
The human psyche will allow you to believe anything just as long as you can keep doing what you like doing, right or wrong. Black women were plenty human enough to be desired sexually though...
@@wizcombo I hate the racism of this country and feel ashamed to be American nowadays for many reasons. I hoped that the obvious hypocrisy of slavery and genocide in a country with a constitution saying "all men created equal" was growing to a more perfect union. The mind control increased with the government timing the first black president to head it up during the witchcraft, perversion 2nd wave increase to the point where the big dipper turned upside down. Now some people want to think that was because of a black president ruling over whites instead of the real reasons of witchcraft blasphemy perversion sexism and racism. God is going to Rain Fire soon.
The fact that they exclaimed that black people had a higher tolerance of pain is ridiculous.
A thing to justify
Pronounced Van-Knee-uh It all began with the invention of human races. Western European enslavers (aka the original white supremacists) invented human races to rationalize their crimes against humanity. They stripped diverse ethnic Africans and lumped them into one group as “property.” They convinced themselves that they were not really human, but “humanoid”, a “thing” to be mistreated, dominated and controlled. Hence, it is not surprising they invented pseudo scientific theories to justify the atrocities committed against enslaved Africans. This is the whole process of dehumanizing Africans and racism is the system in which the enslavers (and their descendants) enrich themselves at the expense of the enslaved Africans (and their descendants). The people who commit to the system of white supremacy have always used DECEPTION and VIOLENCE as tools to maintain the system. And time and time again, it has been argued that America (as well as other colonized countries) have been a long social experiment.
As a nurse trying in Australia in the 1970’s I heard the fallacy that aboriginals didn’t feel pain the same way as whites. I knew it was a lie then as I do now.
@@jaynehorn151 😪😪
@Bela T.T Latinos, native Americans and other races have been under segregation, slavery and colonisation. Don't just state because you are specifically black that you have it worse for you .
I just gave birth to my 4th child, and I’ve had nothing but great experiences with each. I thank God for that 🙏🏿. I know so many other Black women have not had the same. That’s why I love my job as a doula. We are working hard to improve the mortality outcomes that plague our community.
It's so sad & horrible to hear this stuff. I'm a Black woman and i know i am treated differently as far as pain management. I tolerate severe pain daily and am 59 years old and still am denied pain meds that my White women friends were given upon request!!
There probably a reason they won’t give it to you
@@macaroniboi3202 sad
@@macaroniboi3202 Actually, they tend to give Black women less pain management than White women. Don't deny it.

If this is true...great!!!
Oh great! Now we can just pretend that the past doesn't exist and let this evil man get away with what he's done by silencing it. This leaves his evil deeds in the dark, thus making it harder to uncover the truths of what he's done.
They should have put a sign next to it with the truth instead of covering up what his heinous acts.
And I say “white people ?” as in why would he use white women when he could use slaves who weren’t considered people BACK THEN
PuppyLove1105 I was all geared up to to disagree with you and I kept reading then BOOM you sold me (no pun intended lol)
Fun fact: Hitler based his racial policies and actions during the Holocaust from American policies against black people and Native Americans.
And against Mexican Americans . Look up El Paso bath riots
Sounds right
They will never tell us that in schools tho
And native Americans
and anyone who was not white.
The books always talk about "Unit 731" from Japan, or "The Angel of the Death" from Germany, but no one talks about this, and that is sick
As a disabled woman in the us, it pains me that black women also have such a brutal history of medical truma. My heart goes out to y’all.

This information should be taught in the public schools.
I don't think many parents would want their children witnessing/ learning about literal human experiments on unwilling participants. Plus, I bet most parents, teachers, principals, or school board members even know of this. Plus they at least teach it in medical classes in universities which does make sense to some degree.

Yes. I was 3, kept vomiting, couldn't eat, ect. My parents rushed me to the E.R. and the MRI tech wouldn't even do it, claimed I had a virus and I nearly died. My parents took me to Children's Hospital, an amazing place. They were able to diagnose me properly. It was cancer!

I wonder if THIS is why doctors DO NOT LISTEN TO BLACK WOMEN WHEN WE SAY WE'RE IN PAIN.............
No wonder black people are so scared of hospitals and doctors till this day. It's deeply embedded
Sammi Walker Always tell them you want the refusal documented in your chart. I had a doctor take a medical condition she didn’t diagnose off my chart because it’s a pain condition. I had a young black woman tell me that she bleeds so bad during her period that she’s passed out before and the doctors told her it was normal! It’s important to stick up for yourself and not be afraid to change doctors if you feel disrespected or the doctor continues to do harm instead of good.
That's why I only request black doctors..
@th1smomentisfate Are you black?
@@The.Whoever I am and it does depend on the doctor. A couple years ago I was home visiting my family. I slipped....one foot went straight out, my body landed on the other foot.....I got up, laughed it off but the next morning I was in so much pain, I peed myself because I couldn't make it to the bathroom 15 feet and 2 steps away from me.
I had my mom take me to the emergency room.....I was asked the question about my level of pain.....8 when still and 100 when moving....I was given a anti-inflammatory drug and crutches!
When I got back to where I lived, I wasn't getting better so I went to My doctor.....I had torn my ACL.......
It DOES depend on the doctor......I know a lot of Black women who chose their doctor based on who is closest to them, due to lack of resources (time needed to vet doctors, transportation, lack of insurance, etc)........ but finding a doctor who actually listens to you is critical!
It’s sad that I have to go to RUclips to learn our real history

I was born with sickle cell which is an extremely painful blood disorder that sends me to the hospital quite often. The pain feels like your bones are on fire and glass is in your veins. I've had nurses ignore me and act as if I was some kind of drug addict looking for a high. I had to start calling my white doctor to meet me at the emergency room so he could tell them about my sickle cell and my medical history.
I was near death waiting to be seen one time and a security guard saw me pass out. If he hadn't seen me I would have died in the waiting room because I had acute chest syndrome. Every sickle cell patient has horror stories about the emergency room. I almost can't believe a modern nurses textbook said black people can handle more pain. I guess that's what some of the ER nurses were believing when they would ignore me. It's a proven fact that the low quality of adult sickle cell healthcare contributes to our low life expectancy which is about 41 on average and I'm 39 right now.

@Appletree thanks. Appreciate the encouragement. I hope I can live to see 60.

You don't realize how bad it was until you research
So true.
Elizabeth Hansen the only statistic they showed was a higher chance of death at child birth without counting for other conditions, and some researcher who died over 150 years ago.
There are other things that contribute to african american mortality rate, such as: scicle cell anemia, what percentage of african americas can afford hospitals, and what percent choose not to go to hospitals.
Besides doctors follow strict guidelines for each and every patient, so 'racism' doesnt apply when the same procedures are done to african american, and white women. And if they choose not to follow procedures, or screw something up the patient can sue.
noah Walters, people who can afford a lawyer can sue. Also, people. Systemically profiled and prosecuted statistically more are in my opinion less likely to look to the law to solve their problems.
dylan mier how are they systematically 'profiled and prosecuted'? If you can point to direct individuals and prove they are racist I will help bring them to justice, but if you just say 'society is racist' without any evidence I cant help.
I understand black women are more likely to die during child birth, but this can be due to genetic traits more prominent in african Americans, such as scicle cell anemia, or other dissorders. If patients didnt recieve care because of systematic racism the number of women dieing at childbirth wouldn't be 60/100,000 it would be more along the lines of 1000/100,000, or 1/100.
noah walters I did not mention race once. Implicit bias seems to be speaking to you more than what I can speak to.

I’m so grateful for this Channel and the amount of education it’s provided me with
I recently had to have a back tooth removed and part of my infected jaw. The surgeon was white and he prescribed me with ibuprofen after that. After getting home and sleeping. The anesthesia started to wear off and I took an ibuprofen. My jaw was in so much pain. I just laid there. The surgery was on a Thursday. My jaw was hurting so bad that I slept all day that Friday and sat. Sunday my jaw hurt so bad that I was rolling in the bed and I couldn't sleep. Monday morning I called my dentist office and they told me to come in immediately. My dentist is a black woman. I explained to her the pain and she asked me's what did the surgeon prescribed me and I told her ibuprofen. It's like her jaw dropped. She said he had to cut out parts of your jaw that was completely infected. Which is a painful thing. And then she prescribed me something stronger. When I got home I had pudding and took the medicine and I instantly started feeling better. I'm now able to talk and my jaw feels a million times better and it's healed. All because my black dentist new what was up with the surgeon. Smh. Life isn't fair when you're a black woman, especially when you gotta get a procedure done.
Stop going to be treated by those who have proven time after that they care nothing about you.
Positive Energy literally most doctors and medical practitioners are white so how tf.
Sorry you had to go through that. I must say that sounds more like mere incompetence though.
I am pretty sure that was more about the surgeon being overly concerned about the opioid epidemic. I literally had the same thing take place and I am white
@Dash93 She had a tooth that needed to go. How about medical professionals stop being prejudice?
And they ask why blacks are so angry
Who said that?
Hardev Singh How is history cherry picking??
@Hardev Singh your responses thus far have been irrelevant to the initial comment
@Hardev Singh and many ppl including myself disagree with you. Institutionalized racism is real and was never "abolished". Ppl like you either don't want to realize, dont care, or are happy with the systemic outcomes
@Hardev Singh your ignorance is very saddening. Not only that but you truly don't understand the concept as it is not about "blame" or " inevitability" at all....or don't want to understand
Can someone please explain to me how you could think someone doesn't feel pain if you have to restrain them for these barbaric surgeries and they're crying and screaming??!!??!! Ugh. This is so disgusting and cruel.
It’s still slavery in that pain is the biggest pacifier of the mixed servants as they’re called and they continue to this day to sterilize women of “bad genes” and for males they just cut out their foreskins and they become pacified.
When they say blacks don't contribute nothing to society 😞
We contributed our lives
We also weren't given the chance to express out brilliance
Well can you then tell the achievements of your ancestors before slavery.

soluvlyxoxo you think that’s bad.. look up goodbye Uncle Tom
Clover_ZD Never heard of it but I'll look it up.
Thank you!
For all that blacks went through I think you guys should be getting a check like the native Americans are.
Additionally, look up how whites made shoes and purse bags out of slave skin. A white doctor said African leather was the finest leather in the world.
DubG9 What? Is this true?
soluvlyxoxo Google "The Mercury human leather" the first link should be from Ferris State University. Click that and read the excerpt.
I'm sickened. So much of what we know today was built on human torture.
Most of economic expansion was predicated on human sacrifice..
The two great american economic expansions which created us as a superpower were caused by slavery and the great wars..
You should probably search up gator bating just in case you don’t know
Now it's built on animal torture, yay!
Human torture is part of the world's history
You would probablly be sick for real, If It wasn't like that. And It's the other side of the card we should also consider. Nowadays we don't need it, and also it just doesn't fit in our society anymore. Although it did ages before. Some day on the future, humanity will look behind and condemn pretty ordinary things for us, as for example animal's meat consumption or -who knows- the way modern prisons work. Time changes so do we, than we should extract what was good and never let the bad happen again.
I remember watching this movie called 'Get Out' some time ago. I thought it was a eerie and strange albeit great way to describe racism, but looking at videos like this I realize it wasn't THAT far off from reality after all. Thanks for posting this informational video.
Your research and exposé is very well done and convincing. Thank yoy. Being polish, I was mortified when young on learning about medical atrocities in concentration camps. The link should be rednerd explicit
they looked at us and claimed we had no souls to justify the twisted torture they put us through
Disgusting, horrifying.
They were the ones with no souls.
Ben P -
duh black people
@@karisima6060 Notice everything they say about us pertains to them.
Everything that they’ve done to us was only their projection of what they knew about themselves.
It is disgusting to think how slaves suffered. How could they not see the lack of humanity in what they did. This is so wrong and should be taught in high school. I never knew this.
We weren't considered fully human
Yup we were considered only 3/5th of a human being. Smdh. Those devious devils actually believed this nonsense.
@@EzeICE Actually that's wrong. The 3/5ths conpromise was about representation in congress. To southerners black people were considered livestock
@@thedoublehelix5661 no matter how technical you want to get, it's still wrong in the way they saw black people and a total disregard for black lives. That's all on saying.
@@EzeICE I wasn't arguing against your point. I was trying to strengthen it by pointing out that they saw black people as 0% human not 60%.
As a black person, this hard to watch, I stopped after a minute.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such essential knowledge accessible to all.
When my mother was pregnant with me, she had a lot of complications which made her stay in the hospital for 3 months up until she gave birth to me. When I ask her why she said she said gestational diabetes with me. Her doctors wouldn’t take what she said seriously and would often just ignore her until my mom fainted during a check up with her doctor because of low insulin. The doctors still didn’t believe something was wrong until she begged them to give her insulin and to prove to them that she had gestational diabetes. I was born early because the doctors didn’t want to believe my mom when she said something was wrong. My mom became a nurse so that she could understand how to treat me at home instead of going to the doctors because of her bad experience.
Angel wow I’m so glad you turned out ok. That’s an awful experience and as always your mum is a testament to the strength of black women
Bless her, gestational diabetes is rough on pregnancy
Amen
My wife had gestational diabetes as well , when she was pregnant with our son , who is now a healthy 8 year old , thank god. I have never heard of that condition until that time. She went to her regular clinical facility for a routine check up on her pregnancy , then her gynecologist suggested that she must taken immediately to Lincoln hospital , her health was in jeopardy. Once they got there an immediate cesarean operation was done , bringing our son into world two weeks early of full term.
go Angel's Mom!
It's really sad to find this out on RUclips and not be taught this in school!😠😠
Tawni Nino it is tho, it's taught in medical courses that go over the history of medicine
and they call the internet a bad place for children
this place is a place to learn
Tawni Nino same thing i was thinking 👍😢 thats why its beneficial to educate ourselves
I’m being taught this at the University of GA
It's taught in University courses, you just have to take the right classes.
It’s sad we’re still taught this in nursing school and I see it regularly as a staff nurse now. It’s so frustrating.
The pain I feel in my heart.
It runs deep
Do you know what annoys me, that people click on videos pertaining to blacks and go on to complain about how their ppl suffered too, the internet is free, create your own content exposing the atrocities you people faced. As a black woman I read about the holocaust etc and empathized with them, not once did I say o but it happened to black people too, why dont you guys include us. I have watched videos of the holocaust etc and not once did I write what about black people. Some of you have no shame
💯
I completely agree. I think they purposely click on videos pertaining to black people just to say “by what about-“
@@tarrynthedoula That is such an ignorant statement. 15,000 chinese workers came to America in the late 1800's to build railroad tracks that led to the expansion of an ever increasing industrial America. WW2 Navajo code talkers were crucial to the success of relaying information across the pacific theater which led to a decisive victory. 250,000 Filipino soldiers fought for America in WW2 . All in the hopes of attaining U.S citizenship which was denied of them. I can go on and on of the acheivements of various non white ethnic groups. Who have made signicant impact in improving and creating the America we know today. You saying that they had no role in creating this great nation is disrespecful to all of their sacrifices.
@@tarrynthedoula Their is literally an entire month dedicated to black history. Where public schools all across the country are taught about black history.
@@bazkoa5215 she was talking about BUILDING THE COUNTRY-not contributing certain aspects. Those are two difft things.smh. u hear what u want to hear or ur understanding is lacking. Smh. Dont bother replying......
Those 7000 dislikes proves the point that America doesn't like to be faced with its faults. America doesn't like being told its fat, its illiterate, its uninformed or that it's made mistakes in the past that still reverberate today. The fact that people think racism is in the past and that we're immune to making the same mistakes we've done before represents the dangerous hubris that's going to be the death of us.
If we didn’t like to be faced with our faults IN THE PAST then why are we making videos about it right now
Bryan Hines That’s easy. Don’t do or sell drugs. Not to hard to do
Bryan Hines this along with other countries including UK, Spain, Italy, and many other European countries
what do the 31k like prove? u do realize 7000 dislikes doesn't represent all Americans?

I couldn’t finish the video. The absolute anger and sadness I am experiencing rn…the chart claiming people of color came from a different origin?! WHAT 😭😭 these women suffered. And I mean SUFFERED. May they rest in the highest glories of heaven.
Amen.
Try to finish the video though, if you haven't already, so you can get a full glimpse of how bad it was.
Intentional lack of knowledge is part of the reason why things are still so bad for non-white people in the western world.
As a white woman I cannot begin to imagine what it must feel like, to know how much all your ancestors have been abused & to see that so many hundreds of years later, you are still not being treated as equal by so many. This breaks my heart.
Eve lion thank you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I don't want to be equal to you demons!
these replies should be ashamed, this isnt white guilt it's called HUMAN EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING. Thankyou Eve, not many white folk can understand the extent at which the black race has undergone since the dawn of time. It is nice to know that there are humans with understanding hearts who truly care for the well-being of others.
@@abryannahjames4315 For your safety, stop falling for symbolic statements. Eve Lion said she was heart broken. She didn't say she was doing anything to help. The "doctors" in the video became empathetic towards the black women's mistreatment but never stopped Simms. How did that help the black women? Look for clear actions that help your people and treat such people's words as them making themselves feel better. It is NOT intended to help black people.
@@sulabulunji Empathy and understanding is better than none at all a
regardless, and should be appreciated
What's even more heartbreaking this is why blacks will suffer rather than go to the hospital...geez
Yes, and many people with old black parents from the south especially know this to be true
"Black" people don't have to suffer, if they would repent and turn back to The Most High Power!

I’m a black man. When i was 16 i had surgery for scoliosis and had 2 metal rods put on my spine. When my epidural was removed 2 days after surgery instead of being given prescription pain medicine they gave me Tylenol because he believed that the pain was not great enough for any prescription pain killer.
Hey Team VOX. Thanks for the excellence in your reporting. As Rebecca Smaelie said it is sad that RUclips is the only outlet for real history. But, I am glad you are here to educate all generations. This is solid work you can be proud of and shows the best talent in journalism.
American history is so sickening.
Horrible, evil and hateful devil's doing those experiments.
Could you imagine the pain those women went through and they were tossed to the side like animals when they died.
Tommie Brooks that was the minority doing that.
boawesomeness the awesome shut up seriously
boawesomeness the awesome they literally said it wasn’t the minority...

Tommie Brooks it is. It’s very sickening and it kind of makes me sick to live in America.
But again, hey. I don’t live in the mainland so that’s not how my state became, so I’m kind of glad of that.
There is also a sordid history of medical experimentation of the disabled and those with mental and/or emotional issues. It breaks my heart to read stories like Henrietta Lacks and the HeLa cells. It breaks my heart even further to realize that even with the wealth of documentation, this comment section is littered with trolls, deniers, and racist who seem to be allergic to any history lesson that doesn't make them heroes and saviors.
BrythingRoom Facebook is doing it currently the former.
EXACTLY!!! THEAY ARE EVERYWHERE!!!! Yet they want peopleto let go. When you can't take critisism you can't fix history
BrythingRoom spot on.

This is almost unbearable to watch but it cannot be forgotten. African Americans have no obligation to forgive or forget this.
Did this happen to you?
You do realise every race that ever existed at one point were slaves, right? So if this was true, and should happen, everyone would hate everyone. Black African Americans aren't the only people that were inslaved.
Sorry,

@@magicalsquidunicornssovern7883 yeah but this video is talking about how the health system impacted on the black community now, not just slavery in the black community.
