Thank you for this concise doc. As a 54 yr old white Texan, it should come as no surprise that none of this was covered in my Texas or World History classes in the ‘80s. Sadly, 35 years later there is still a fight to keep this history out of our public school curriculum .
This is why CRT will NEVER be hidden, no matter how they try to not talk about about it. The truth will always prevail! These types of videos will always be. Just as you weren't taught...this video peeked your interest. Now you know.
Not only American history but world history is apparently skewed in Red States in particular bc what happened in Germany with the Nazi’s and Hitler exterminating anyone they pleased is minimized. He did not only exterminate Jews.. he exterminated anyone who happened to be in a relationship with a Jew and any children he could!! Why else do you think that non-Jews stood up to him?! And helped to trick him. Also Russians invasion of Hungary to save them from the Nazi’s turned into their wanting to occupy and control Hungary with Communist Dictatorship which got the Hungarians together to kick Russia out of Hungary using their own war tanks!! Eventually Russia planted s Communist leader.. Orban In retaliation for losing. Many pieces of history are being hidden from Americans and all. It must be transparent or we will continue to repeat the failures of the past.. evil is counting on it!! Vote Blue wave 🌊

Unless you're in grad school studying civil rights law, you don't have any idea what critical race theory is. This is why using other people's talking points is bad, especially when the talking points are misused by race baiters who only want to sow discord and destruction.

Agree the needle 🪡 hasn’t moved
In a country where it's often illegal to teach actual history, it doesn't need a disguise.
It is recognized by many, unfortunately to many are and remain ignorant and blindly follow "their party".
Not always the case.
This is deeper than ANY black history I ever learned throughout Jr and high school.. Thanks for the TRUE education.
Yes it’s why many don’t want it taught to children or anybody really. Not, I would argue over some sense of generational guilt but because they want to return to this kind of society. They’ve been underground for a generation but never went away, only feeling empowered to come out due to the previous president’s dog whistles.
I knew about this and how terrible it was but I didn't know that Democratic party was behind all this so I guess they changed now. Are they trying to take down people of color in a different way in 2022
There were also BOMBINGS of black churches,homes,businesses and schools during the 1900s-thru-the 1960s.Lynching didn't get out-lawed until1938,but,still continued anyway.American indians couldn't be american citizens until 1938 and eskimos 1937.
Check out the Dred Scott vs Missouri case Fam, very popular and informative.
Stuff like this should be required viewing for American white people.
Best explanation of Jim Crow laws and segregation I’ve ever seen. Should be a lesson in every middle school in America.
This was apartheid and yet Western democracies gave the US a free pass while shunning South Africa.
i was actualy assigned this vid
It used to be taught in both middle and high school. Middle school was just the basics, high school was an indepth study of the Antebellum and post Civil War era, all the way to national desegregation of schools during the 70's. Which actually wasn't really history, as we were currently living and experiencing that historical time period firsthand.
Complete with forced bussing and the ugly protests about it.
I do agree, this is a really good video on the topic.
we saw/see the reason for jim crow laws all the time there are cctv cameras everywhere.
They'll teach you a little about Jim Crow they say "separate but equal" was the law and maybe do 15-30 minutes at most and maybe 1-3 questions on the exam. It's like they didn't want anyone to feel guilty or uncomfortable, it's like they'll say we'll figure it out down the road.
In 1943, when my Dad was in the Army Air Force, his life was saved by his army buddies by whisking him off a Biloxi Mississippi bus.
He had offered his seat to a pregnant black woman. His buddies educated him on southern prejudice, surprising and saddening him deeply.
The why I'll never understand.
I'm thankful as an American veteran that we can look through history and learn of Frederick Douglass, Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and Homer Plessy, The 7th regiment, Dr. King. So many, so great, so terribly overlooked and underappreciated.
There were and still are so many to look up to. Inventors, Statesmen, doctors, and, basically, our every field of life have been enriched with powerful, meaningful brothers and sisters.
I'm also proud of the abolutiomist of the past and to those who continue to stand shoulder to shoulder in concert to end the stuggle of each fighting Americans who suffer(ed) tragically at the hands of those who violently oppose(ed) equality.
May prejudice finally die a tired and deserved death never to be reborn.

Sadly, money is the root...
I love people like you.
Amen brother couldn't have said it any better..
Exactly right. A higher consciousness brings a higher world. For all.
Watching these segments about the true history of America, makes me cry. The harsh injustice my ancestors, and even grandparents, great grandparents, etc. etc. have put other humans threw is inexcusable.
We need more people like you to stand up... God bless you
Long ago people of different races, even ethnicities didn't mix at all. Some of it true even today. Most people don't want to mix with other cultures. The reason it happened in the USA is because the USA had different races within it. Most countries did not.
To late for tears!!!!!!!!!
@@gsr4535
Still no justification for all the injustices inflicted upon African American it seems those laws were implemented to hurt and spite the African American population, to make them feel like unwanted and rejected outsiders. The National Socialist states of America deliberately set out make things as unpleasant as possible for African Americans by excluding them.

@@joedevine5534 What do you mean?
And the great thing about teaching accurate history is that it helps us ALL become better people. We learn so much from transgressions of the past.
It should help us to move in a much more equitable manner in present & future.
Unfortunately, yours is a sentiment seldom heard from Scholl Board Meeting podiums as CRT is being contentiously debated!
I remember the story of our grandfather being free here. When he found out he wasn't free while going to the bar he went to after work every evening, his hair turned white. He caused a ruckus and his hair turned white. In Washington State here on the west coast. Black ,Japanese and Philippino folks had land, were teachers, book keepers, towns leaders and all kinds of wonderful jobs and not so, but freedom was here ad suddenly it wasn't. So They did it back then and they're wanting racial division now. They cannot stand the equaity and intelligence of a person of color. They rob us of our ideas, and spit in our faces by not allowing people of color to be among "them". America wake-up. Great video. I'm Sharing
Barbara: come out from under you rock, there are governors who want book's of anykind that are not your typical "SEE SPOT RUN" "JACK & JANET" !! WHEN ONE 🎓 GRADUATES IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO GO TO COLLEGE TO FURTHER EDUCATE ONESELF WHY?
What is the threat?
You have to be careful with the wording because this isn’t about people of color it’s specifically about black folk. Thats a problem we deal with this present day people including themselves in our struggles
Such well researched information should receive far more likes. I think the issue is that not everyone is willing to deal with the truth.
Yup so many lies, distortions and omissions make it so difficult to get facts..
But what a relief once the bigger picture is inderstood...it is easier to love oneself and the rest of humanity...and there is such comfort in empathy, sympathy and acceptance.
Almost all history of any kind is rare in many jr. and HS. The study the Egyptians....which is ridiculous...but you are RIGHT.
Nobody likes when truth jumps up and bites you on the balls... its SHOCKING..
lolol
Facts
It's not lies and distortion it's actually the truth it seems white people have an aversion to hearing or telling the truth . And you go to offense and defense it seems all the time is lying problem is lying can only get you so far and if it is recognized that your culture has a proclivity to lie why you have no standing whatsoever so be careful white man you don't want your race or culture to be seen as Liars in general or maybe you don't care or maybe you don't like it whatever but it seems that your nature @@elaineburnett5230
Beautifully spoken Sir, I am from Australia and this deep look into American history is truly educational. This video should be called “How America legalised Slavery”.
This must be taught in schools everywhere. Some of their decendants are in power today.
unfortunately, at this time, they are actually burning books and rewriting history.
Still, I strongly agree with you.

@#ALiAhmed wow. I said to myself, he speaks and sounds like Hakeen Jeffries. And voila, it is his brother. I didn't even know his name.
Kwame Hasan Jeffries is the brother of Hakeem Jeffries the Congressman from New York.
Excellent documentary. There are so many parallels to our current time. We, as a nation, are still embroiled with these same problems. This documentary is a "must see" for everyone, as it is informative for those who don't know our past history and a reminder to those who do know.
Glad you liked it!
Could you name a problem “ we are still embroiled with” from this era that is either sociologically codified or legally codified ? Having had a Black president and a multitude of famous Black millionaire entertainers, athletes and billionaire businessmen, the problem isn’t systemic racism. The problems we are having in the country today are cultural “victim hood” and a mentality of entitlement stoked by racists ( both POC and white) who pretend to speak for “the community”.
@@jamielynnwallace1125 The problem is systemic racism whether it is subconscious or in your face overt. Systemic racism is very much alive and doing well.
@@jjetta264 “sub-conscience” ...”below the level of being sensed or understood”. Please name an institution that practices any form of “racism”? In Japan, racism exist because it’s cultural...it’s very rare to see or hear of non-ethnic Japanese being at the top levels of any fields(sports, entertainment, business). They especially don’t like foreigners...immigrants...succeeding. In America, we encourage...by law and by culture...everyone to succeed , legal immigrant or established citizen. Just saying “systemic racism” doesn’t make it so...please give examples.
@@jamielynnwallace1125 I used the correct word to convey my point. Look up the meaning of subconscious mind. There is a difference between subconscious and sub-conscience. The two current examples of systemic racism are 'replacement theory' and 'CRT' (critical race theory). You will have to investigate online the vast amount of information. And, come to your own conclusions. Best wishes for you.
Fantastic documentary with excellent research. It’s a side of American history that I never heard in school as a white kid who grew up in the country. This information and more like it need to see the light of day with all Americans.
Williamcole: You think, think again cause it ain't gonna happen in the DIRECTION OUR USA IS HEADED!!
I must ask this question. Has the learning of the nation's Jim Crow laws made you more aware of your country's history?, or sad and ashamed hating yourself and race. I disagree with the logic that such knowledge will make white students feel hurt and ashamed. Sure, there will be some, but overall, it will teach that the mistakes of the past can't be hidden or repected.
@@user-ub7bk3sj2r of course I’m ashamed of my country’s past history and the mistakes its made. Especially as it relates to Native Americans and the slave trade. I’m also ashamed of this country’s lack of action in terms of dealing with the continued racism and institutional racism. But back to your question. I don’t think knowledge of the country’s history will make white students feel shame. All countries have something in their past they’d rather not remember. But openly discussing it in our classrooms will help deal with the past ever repeating itself.
Today’s right wing media has created a false narrative that whites of today are to blame for institutional racism and the actions of past generations. I disagree with them wholeheartedly. We’re only responsible for our actions. But ignoring the past is an action that we’re responsible for.
Germany had serious discussions with following generations after WWII and the role their country played in it. It led to greater healing and an inability to ignore what had been done. In America right wingers act as if it was America ended slavery following the civil war. Slavery had been on the way out all over Europe. America fought a civil war in order to keep slavery. Thankfully the south lost.
But I digress. These are all discussions that should be held in classrooms across America. I find my country did me a disservice by not teaching this country’s true history with all its warts and blemishes. The version I received had been watered down and white washed with decades of institutional gaslighting. I feel my lack of nuance and a diverse perspective underprepared me for life as an adult. Thankfully, when I entered the military I was introduced to an entirely new world filled with people from all over the country with dozens of cultures and ethnic backgrounds.
It’s an interesting question. No one has ever asked me that before. I’ve tried to gain more knowledge on the topic after seeing my biracial nephews growing up in white America. I’d seen how blatantly and openly racist people could be firsthand. So I attack all forms of it head on when I see it.
Take care.
@@sassylady54 I certainly hope not. I’ve been working hard to get those around me to see the right wing of today for what it is and where they’re heading. In view of that I’m also pushing everyone to vote blue regardless of whether Joe Biden is the candidate they wanted. What matters is saving democracy and not letting the country try slip back to the pre civil rights era where people are blatantly racist, homophobic, bigoted, etc. We see it all the time with Trump.
Anyway. I hope you’re wrong. I’ll keep a positive outlook. But I’m still going to stress until after the election in November.
Take care.
I, as an Englishman, am very grateful to have seen this video. I had no idea that so much of the terrible segregation started in the northern states.
Blacks were a part of the South. Look up the American Colonization Society and its creation of Liberia to get blacks out of the US.
You realize that segregation was started in the north while blacks were still slaves in the south.
@@B_Bodziak Slaves were freed in the North to get rid of them and move them out of the State. Oregon's original constitution banned blacks and Chinese from settling in the State. Slaves, as property, were only allowed to stay for a set time.
You probably also don't know that your king and queen wiped out entire indigenous people from all continents of the world.
@@MGTOWPaladin In Sonoma County, rich white Southerners emigrated here but as soon as they stepped into California their slaves had to be freed. .I think the wealthy ex-plantation owners probably kept them, hopefully paid, as servants of some kind.
The South is represented in the many Magnolia trees here. Amongst the tallest trees on earth, coastal redwoods.
Santa Rosa backed the Confederacy...yuck. Petaluma backed the Union. My Great-Grandfather fought for the Union.
There were not, and still aren't, many black people in Sonoma County. Someone told me or maybe I read that there was a black section in the theatre in Santa Rosa. I was astonished. I guess it was in the 1940's and I wasn't around.
There was a very popular black barber in Santa Rosa who had a few barber shops around the State... When he died there was a huge funeral procession.
When one reads Justice Harlan's eloquent dissent in Plessy,one can almost HEAR him thunder ,,"NO ONE is fooled by what we do here today.the Constitution does not permit the extension of the badge of slavery by other means."As the narrator notes,the man had owned slaves before the war.
His Family. But he chose to support the north against his brothers

@@dh5380yes, families divided over slavery: justices, legislators, businessman, lawyers etc,...
An excellent account of history.
I found this to be interesting. I grew up in a suburb of Houston, TX in the 1940's and 50's. This was before the Civil Rights act of 1964. The school district that I was in was segregated as were all the neighborhoods in the area. As a result I was 10 years old before I ever even saw a black person. I was in high school from 1958 - 1961. This was a period when the seeds of racial unrest had begun to stir. The school district thought it was important to show us that they were providing equal or better education to the black community that was in the district so they bussed to a new high school that they had built for the black students. That was a very effective move as we were convinced that the black students were treated very well. After graduation I joined the navy and served on a nuclear ballistic missile submarine. We had a crew of between 90 to 125 and in that crew there was one black sailor, a chief petty officer with nuclear power training. After the Navy I got married and worked for a few years at an oil refinery as an operator in various units. There no black operators that I was aware of. The only jobs that back men had were labor jobs of cleaning and filling tank cars and trucks. I started college in 1969 at the University of Texas at Austin. I do not remember ever seeing a black student at that college, Darryl Royal was the football coach and they would not let him recruit any black players until some years later. Since this was still a time of change in race relations I was fortunate that the English department made us read a number of books about race topics in the literature classes. Some of the ones that I remember were several of James Baldwin's short stories and articles, These works and others opened my eyes to some aspects of what it was like to be black in the US. After college I got a job as an electrical engineer a large computer manufacturer. In addition to my engineering assignment I was tasked to mentor a new black engineer to help him learn how to deal with everyday interactions with the mostly white members of the engineering department. I was a new engineer but I was older and had experience in working in industry and the military and that is why I was given that assignment, I relate this because it ties in with the story about Homer Plessy. Even in the 1970's the education including higher education opportunities available to persons of color were not really equal to that available to blacks. I would have been really helpful if our school district had put some of the works I read in college in 1969. Instead of teaching us how and why the education system was failing black people they chose to teach us that there was not really a problem. That was a disservice to their students. It became clear to me that just building a new school building did not do anything to address the real issues of lack of job opportunities due to lingering discrimination and the lack of motivation caused by that for the students and teachers. Fifty years later some progress has been made but I fear that Trump and his MAGA movement will set that back 50 years or more.
Hello, what suburb of Houston did you grow up in and what school did you attend? I was born and raised in Houston; I still live here. I was born in 1969.
I remember learning Black History, and I mean REAL Black History, as early as the 2nd and 3rd grades. I was eight years-old when ROOTS first aired, and I watched it EVERY SINGLE DAY. I can't remember when I first saw the AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITTMAN (it was some time between the 2nd and 4th grades) but those two movies really helped to shape my interest in Black history, as well as my awareness of racism. I was still a LITTLE naïve, though, as I didn't realize just how racist Texas is with its Good Ol' Boy attitude and system until I was fully grown. I didn't face a lot of in-your-face racism. My experiences were subtle and very few, at least as far as I'm aware of, so I was unaware of the way others saw Texas. Interestingly enough, I was also fully grown when I realized just how racist Louisiana is. Boy, was that a shock!
I can't stand Abbott and his ever-so-eager attitude intention to do away with Black history. He and many Whites speak of critical race theory as if it's something bad. In my opinion, what CRT teaches is the causes, effects and continuing aftermath of racism. How dare Whites say they don't want their kids to feel badly about being White and for being on the RIGHT side of history (and that's not Blacks' intention AT ALL), but I can't help but to sarcastically ask, "Oh, but it's OK for OUR kids to feel badly about being Black and for being on the WRONG side of history, right?"
Ya'll yte people had it made denying blacks economic opportunities so easily available to ytes. Blacks are hundred years behind average because of Jim Crow segregation and discrimination

@@B_Bodziak Lincoln's invasion of Dixie was about MONEY but that's not what is taught.
English author, Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist) said it best: "The Northern onslaught against Southern slavery is a specious piece of humbug designed to mask their desire for the economic control of the Southern states.

"Whereas an insurrection against the Government of the United States has broken out in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and the laws of the United States for the COLLECTION OF THE REVENUE (TAX MONEY) cannot be effectually executed therein comformably to that provision of the Constitution which requires DUTIES (TAX MONEY) to be uniform throughout the United States:..."

Very informative. It is terrible what “we” did to our fellow citizens who were just trying to live as good a life as they could. This needs to be taught in the public schools. It is a part of our history as a country and we need to really open the eyes and hearts of people who think this kind of behavior to people of color or anyone they deem different than they are is “Christian.” The “white supremacy” movement in this country is made up of sick people, not of people who love God and country. Thank you for creating this wonderful video on racial discrimination in this country.
Ok what about reparations
Not all "whites" shared the opinions of segregationists. Slavery and discrimination, in the United States are the worst part of our history. White people abolished slavery and passed equal rights amendments, for the betterment of this great nation.
Please don't lump hate-filled white people in with the majority of good and kind white people.
@@joeroan1064 That wasn’t my intention which is why I put “we” in quotes. Of course there were and still are white people who fought and continue to fight against slavery and discrimination of all people of color. Emancipation, voting rights as well as many other freedoms could not have happened without the minds and hearts of freedom loving white people.

Separating people in this way is so absurd when you stop and think about it for just a second. Even cemeteries were segregated?! Absolutely ridiculous. Is your sense of self so fragile that being buried next to someone who is simply different offends your sensibilities?!! Absurd!
They separated the cemeteries not because of the dead, as much as it were for the prejudices of the living that visited. Cemeteries were places where people used to frequent quite often. We still separate people in cemeteries today, but it’s usually religious reasons.

Abraham Lincoln's *Invention of Presidential War Powers:* Facing the unprecedented crisis of civil war in 1861, President Abraham Lincoln invoked *his* (not the Constitution's) "war power" as commander-in-chief to "take any measure which may best subdue the enemy."
*DEFYING the Chief Justice of the United States,* he (Lincoln unconstitutionally) suspended the writ of habeas corpus by presidential decree. He also declared martial law, authorized the trial of civilians by military courts, (created illegal income tax on August 1861) and proclaimed the emancipation of (only specific) slaves--all on the grounds that *"I may in an emergency do things on military grounds which cannot be done CONSTITUTIONALLY by Congress.*
Your turn! Good luck!
Oh, just in case.....
Lincoln illegally declared emancipation in the following locations in his Proclamation:
"Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, *(EXCEPT* the Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the City of New Orleans) Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, *(EXCEPT* the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkley, Accomac, Northampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth), and which *EXCEPTED* parts, are for the present, left precisely as if this0 proclamation were not issued."
NOTE: Does Lincoln release any of the estimated 1 million slaves still held in the Union States? *NO!* Does he release any slaves in the Union Territories? *NO!* Does he release any slaves held in Indian reservations or territories? *NO!* Did he release any slaves in the Southern Border States? *NO!* Does he release any slaves in West Virginia? *NO!* Does he release any slaves in the Confederate State of Tennessee? *NO!* Does he release slaves in select counties/parishes of the Confederate States of Virginia and Louisiana? *NO!*
@@MGTOWPaladin just like you didn’t wanna read the other book. No one wants to read the book you’re suggesting either. You’re here to troll and you should just go away.
This is an amazing video that explains what happened in America during Jim Crow. It's not overly political, he explains what happened and why it happened. This video allows for people to discuss what happened in a calm way.. great job.
Thank you for your comment. We are glad you enjoyed this video.
Brilliant video so well put together and informative, shame that now in America schools are not allowed to show this let alone discuss it because some people can't handle the history of their country.
Racism is NOT a left or right issue, it’s a humanity issue.
Ridiculous! What a milk toast comment.
We as a country won't get anywhere until white people give back that thing called "white privilege", that unearned, unmerited privilege. Black people can't end white supremacy. Only white people can do that.
White privilege, based on the [cult]ure of "supremacy", is based on artificial scarcity of rights, liberties, and material and social resources, bolstered by legal, but wholly immoral and unethical violence.
Racist white supremacy in America transcends party politics. Racism that benefits white people is inherently inhumane, immoral, unethical, illogical, and evil.
No it's a white man's demonic issue. He's talking about nothing but white people invicting pain and injustice upon black people. It was not a human thing it's a white person's thing
You didn’t see them attack Candace Owens

Everything is political these days... Obama was elected then elected a 2nd time but he turned his back on the black community... he didn't help the black community rise up from poverty-stricken areas across the United States! Donald Trump helped The black community by providing them employment opportunities... before the Pandemic happened of course, more people in the black community had jobs, unemployment was the lowest after 8 years of Obama! 🤦♀️
I hope humanity can rise above this sickness.. 😰so much pain and suffering caused by power-hunger and dependency on slaves to do the hard work... it makes me sick that this happened only a generation or two ago and still is in play in many other ways in the World today...
This is today what it's meant by Make America Great AGAIN.
So we’ll researched and well executed. Love your style. I want to see you on the history channel! Let the masses learn.
The pace, direction, and execution of this topic is absolutely flawless-very well done!

That was a really enjoyable lecture, glad I stumbled upon it.
“There are many noteworthy examples of ordinary evil in every culture and country around the globe, but in terms of preventable evil I am hard pressed to find any examples that approach those systematically perpetrated by humans against the members of other species.”
Lawrence Pope
Thanks for this well researched video though it is painful to listen to the horror that was perpetrated it is a history that should never be forgotten. Unfortunately there are still people in this day and age that would like to return to those days. Freedom one is also freedom that can be lost and there are many that would like to take it away.
Thank for this painful yet wonderfully crafted condensed history lessons. It was tough to fight back tears and not allow rage to consume me. What the world doesn’t understand is that this period of radical injustice paved the way for the massive economic, civil government, educational, and wealth disparity we have between Blacks and Whites in this country. I have a 3rd grade daughter and they don’t even teach history in the classroom anymore. Rather than to truly discuss ALL US history and confront this country’s past sins, we rather teach none of it. Shameful and very sad 😢
The best of ANY presentations on social and political history videos I have ever watched. Thank you.
I'M SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND AND WATCHED THIS VIDEO.. EVEN THOUGH I LIVED IN VIRGINIA DURING THE COLORED AND WHITES ONLY ERA I AM AMAZED AT WHAT I LEARNED FROM WATCHING.. EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH THIS AND LEARN!!!
Southern Democrats started the KKK after Republicans fought to free the
slaves, Democrats Drafted and implemented Jim Crow laws in the South, Ya herd me? Don't get it twisted!
The main problem with this was not even the train or school separation. The main problem is that it sets precedent for other stuff like housing discrimination and access to cresdit
How can I be in my 40s and never heard of this "leasing" ? Oh yeah, it's an "uncomfortable to recall" part of history so best to let it out of the history books!!
I'm just starting this video and I hope you're talking about Prisoner-Leasing and vagrancy laws b/c this is rarely spoken about and it's so much of the reason attitudes are the same today as 150 yrs ago
I live in FL and we have an overweight, racially dog whistling gov who energetically labors to eliminate slavery from teaching in schools.
@@B_Bodziak in my 60 and a college graduate I didn't know about most of this either. Two years ago I found out about Juneteenth. Education is key and I hate no one.
The reason why we haven't heard a lot about all of this is because we were moving on to a better place. Until. People like Trump came in. And gave voice to those who wish to regress. The others who wanted to regress. Just kept quiet. Until now. Now they full on one to take advantage of the situation.Any Jim Crow laws that were left on the books will probably beReignited. If you look into the black. Wall Street, USC. How black people. Rose to. What point of success? And the white people sat back and they didn't do anything until they got there. And once the black people got there, they decided to destroy it. This is where we are now. A lot of black people are successful. And apparently there are a lot of white people who are meant to destroy it. We just keep going on a vicious cycle. You let black people get to the point where we actually had a black presiden tnow It's time to step in and shut it down, right?
Not aware of chain gang or prisoner labor contracts? Prisons got paid not the prisoners (pennies on the dollar if at all). Stuff's been going on even up to recent decades. Just another form of cheap labor.
A truly inspirational and factual insight to a subject/reference "Jim Crow" that we all are familiar with. I should add, but I didn't study the history on this - probably 99% of others as well. Thank you!
A concise documentary, informative and thought provoking. Keep up the good work.
We need people of all flavors telling their story out load; so we hear it.
It's not the dark side it is American history!
This was a great documentary and also a great history lesson. Thank you.
This part of US HISTORY wasn’t taught in school. Thank you for the video. Some of the things are still happening NOW.
There is no wicked nation that have stayed in power for ever just like Babylon, and those that followed it America and British now according to the Bible are seventh world power and the last one and God kingdom will also destroy them Daniel 2: 44 read it.
The dark side of Am history?
Uhhhh..........an understatement
Love the speaker. Excellent, clear, no filler words, and SHARP
I do own a book about this and gave it good ratings. Many people did not like it. HOW ELSE COULD I LEARN THE TRUTH...
This could not have been done better. Impeccable.
They knew what they did to black people was wrong now they don't want it talks in school to show their descended what a monster 👾 they were and still is this should be talks be the truth is always right.
Because
add this to it...Southern Democrats started the KKK after Republicans fought to free the
slaves, Democrats Drafted and implemented Jim Crow laws in the South, Ya herd me? Don't get it twisted!
Good morning to everyone who has read this article.
As I sit here today and recognize the issue of JIM CROW, still exists.
Jim Crow was never mentioned in grade school or even high school in the sixties or seventies....it's important that this story stay alive....they were the foundation of the civil rights movement.....we should not forget....ever
This is great material. Thanks for sharing. Just in time for my presentation this weekend.
Well done , thank you
Should be viewed with humility in one's heart
✌🏽❤
Love how people are trying to stop this from being taught.
who are these people? Point me in their direction...
The term "Jim Crow" is often used, it is great to finally have it explained in detail.
Thank you, it is good to know, though even more depressing than I had thought.
Here is the rest of it...Southern Democrats started the KKK after Republicans fought to free the
slaves, Democrats Drafted and implemented Jim Crow laws in the South, Ya herd me? Don't get it twisted!
Excellent research and work...
Economics, politics and codes and customs aside, where did the hatred come from, which is what nobody can seem to explain. I still don't understand that part.
I think it is fear. People fear they will lose something of another person gains something. It is stupidity, but some people who are scared and cowardly often feel safer if they are surrounded by clones of themselves. Just a thought.
@Guilt, the guilt and the fear and the shame, and pride and the debt, plus the blood on ones hands from generations to generations.
Unbelievable......feels like he's talking about now, not century ago.
What are you talking about?
Sound like maga to me.
Thank you Sir for the history lesson, very informative, it is Appreciated 👍👌👏
Unsurprisingly, I was never taught any of this growing up in NC. Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Good work!
I really enjoyed this history lesson learned a lot
This is such pertinent information thank you... Willl share and subscribe..
Excellent! I look forward to more content!
Fine historical presentation.
Great historical video.
masterful presentation... Thank you! 🙏🏾
Wow. I didn't know most of these details. Important video!
This is one of many reasons why I am so thankful to all the people who made it possible for me to get one step more towards freedom!!!
Absolutely well said! Thanks
Great video. Keep up the good work.
Very informative. Thank you.
WOW!!!!!!!
Great History Lesson
Thank you for the video. It was well informed and very appropriate. A lot of Americans really don’t know about the truth and should watch this.
Southern Democrats started the KKK after Republicans fought to free the
slaves, Democrats Drafted and implemented Jim Crow laws in the South, Ya herd me? Don't get it twisted!
Thank you, Sir. 🙏 I certainly learned a lot from your detailed explanation. 🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this!
@11:23 This "seperate but equal" argument sounds exactly like what was being said in South Africa during Apartheid - here it was famously called "a policy of good neighborliness'". Upon learning about Apartheid in school as well as the civil rights movement in the U.S, it is striking how similar they were. There were many laws, used against the native Americans & other minorities which mirrored the laws drawn up in S.A. Very interesting if history is your thing - good video!
A_god THE SOUTH AFRICANS MODELED THEIR GOVERNMENT AFTER THE U.S. IN 1948....SO DID ISREAL AND THE NAZIS IN GERMANY
There are so many parallels. So interesting and sad!
Thanks for sharing this story Black History ancestor and the education ❤
Nothing’s really changed. Thank you so much for this.
Very eloquent and detailed eplaination in such a brief moment, on the dark History of America's past.
Cuz there was something about Slavery ;
" DARKER
THAN THE BLACKMAN himself " .
Wonderful job sir.
And don't forget the massacre of BlackWallstreet in 1921,300 innocent black women,kids old men and young men were shot down like dogs for NOTHING.Entire town burned to the ground,plus bombs were dropped on the black community also.Then there's the Bloody Summer of 1918,where many other black communities suffered the same FATE.I was told by a white youtuber to forget about these SAVAGE incidents,just move on,they create division.I told him these things happened in america,it's a part of american history.Needs to be TOLD.I asked him what was he AFRAID of ???
I stop believing in Caucasian when they refuse me of my mule and forty acres years ago.
THESE PEOPLE WERE PURE DEVILS! ALL OF THEM AREN'T DEAD AND SOME OF THEIR OFFSPRING STILL MAINTAIN THE SAME MINDSET!
Great talk.
Thank you, this is a great presentation and seriously important to know.
here is some more...Southern Democrats started the KKK after Republicans fought to free the
slaves, Democrats Drafted and implemented Jim Crow laws in the South, Ya herd me? Don't get it twisted!
Thank you for your informative videos
Thanks, very much. Clear, wide-ranging and important details about American history, for everyone, because we're ALL of mixed race. Knowledge is always the most fabulous tool, and since the mid 1950s it's the Democrats that work for equality, and the Republicans keep knocking it down.
Absolutely history tells this story. Especially after the Brown versus the board of education Supreme Court 1954 ruling In favor of integrating American schools. Starting a Republican party war against black civil rights.
Berry Goldwater's operation Dixie1960, Richard Nixon's Southern strategies 1970s Lee Atwater former Republican strategist Raeganomics 1980-2022 political Ideology of dividing black-and-white America over religious cultural social issues Instead of economic fairness and Justice ⚖. Still fighting voter suppression and gerrymandering in America in 2022 .
Truth + Wisdom = Peace ✌ 🙏 🙌. The only wokeness America is experiencing Is A history of hiding black history that have always been a product of their own CRT - Caucasian Racist Teachings 🤔.
Emma, the Democrats were the slave owners before the civil war. The Democrats were the ones who implemented Jim Crow laws against the black population as well as being the party that enforced segregation in public schools throughout the 50's and 60's.
Joe Biden was still supporting segregation in the 70's and 80's.
It wasn't Republican law makers who were blocking the doors of schools in order to keep the black students out. It wasn't Republicans unleashing dogs on the civil rights protestors as they marched on the streets.
It was Democrat leaders doing that. Republicans didn't embrace the racism of the Democrat Party back in the 50's, nor have they done so to this day.
The Democrats pathetic and shameful racist history is owned totally and completely by them and them alone.
In 1957 the Republican Party had drafted the Civil Rights Act legistlation and brought it to the floor of Congress to be voted on.
But the current Speaker of the House, Lyndon Bane Johnson, wouldn't bring it up for a vote because he knew if it passed, the Democrat Party would never win another national election.
Johnson blocked it from even being discussed until he became Vice President to President Kennedy in 1961.
Kennedy wasn't interested in passing the Civil Rights Act, so nothing came of it until after his death. But during the 50's and 60's it was the Democrat Party leaders in the south who were enforcing the Jim Crow laws, filling the ranks of the KKK as it Lynched blacks and their white Republican allies.
In 1964 3 men, who had traveled to Mississippi to register African Americans to vote went missing. Investigation was launched an uncovered that they had been murdered by members of the KKK, with support of local police, and their bodies buried in an earthen dam. No Republicans participated in this crime.
Saying the Republican and Democrat Party switched ideologies in the 50's and 60's is just the Democrats revising history to cover up their shameful racist past.
President Johnson didn't care about the well being of African Americans, he was still calling them the N-word. His only concern was how the Democrats could keep control of the government.
Democrats had a super majority advantage in 1964, yet still couldn't get enough votes from their own party to pass the Civil Rights Act. Without support from the Republican Party, the bill would've failed to become law.
Knowledge is only valuable if it is based on the truth.
Great summary of a terrific time. This video illustrates why we ALL need to vote in November and every election. We need to standup against the current right wing Christian nationalist that will & is already taking us back. Please vote! 🗳
1st class thankyou for sharing
Lincoln whom I support, made one critical mistake, he pardoned the instigators of the civil war,and passed on to the next generation the same argument that started the civil war,today we experience anew these same problems that existed before and after the civil war,
Excellent documentary. Slave class has, and will always exist. Courts pander to make it so. The scale of justice is bias. The end results always overstretch the intent. And swing the pendulum further then the needed result. Maintaining constant resolutions for future generations.
The truth is that everyone has African ancestry since the first humans evolved in Africa and then dispersed throughout the world. Skin color evolved to protect those people living near the equator to be protected from UV rays from the Sun and help people who live away from the equator to receive adequate UV rays to form vitamin D.
White supremacy is a social construction, not a biological fact.
FACTS
That is true!
The Original Hebrew Israelites from the tribe of Yeshua lost in a weary land ain't got no identity. Been down so long, no help from no one. Praying for a better day and a new way.
Nobody evolved from Africa... the dark people in africa are from the Americas... Caribbean, W African & many other countries mostly cane from S America.. time to do some research
Beautiful lecture ❤
Well done. I love history.
This should be seen by many more viewers - it is excellent. I do wonder who the lecturer is, though. I don't see a reference in the video or description. Surely, he can't be in witness protection?
Thank you for the feedback! The lecturer is Victor Dupart.
@@TheGreatCourses I thought Victor Dupart was Homer Plessy's step-father and the lecturer was Kwame Jeffries. I can't remember the first name. 🤔
@@TheGreatCourses Hasan Kwame Jefferies. 🙂

They should teach this in schools instead of trying to erase it from his story.
Evil at its worst.
Right now today in 2024, a number of Southern Sates along with some of its elected Republican politicians on the local, state and federal level are working hard to bring back the Jim Crow era again through devious means when ever it can politically and through either enacting laws, not enforcing laws, legislating new laws, electing and confirming conservative judges on the local, state and federal level.
All to control people of color in general and black Americans in particular. IMO!!
But it will fail in the long run.
Because just like in the Movie Gone With the Wind:
The days of Ssavery,Jim Crow Era Laws, 2nd Class Citizen, sometimes overt segregation, being marginilized, and Voter Suppression are:
🗣GONE WITH THE WIND.
To some of the current Southern States in 2024, I say by using force , you lost the Civil War and by currently using LEGISLATION as a weapon today to divide the Country and take us back pre civil war and the Jim Crow era again:
It will not happen!!
Bob Dylan could not have said it any better when he said:
THE TIMES ARE A CHANGING!!!!
Progress will not be denied.
