I truly appreciate the depth that you went into in this documentary. This is a truly difficult subject but it is important that it is dealt with. We do not seek punishment, as that ship has sailed long ago. If America is to survive, however, sweeping this shameful period under the rug is not the answer, but actually dealing with the mentality that produced this wickedness and allowed it to perpetuate is the work that must be done.
As much as I’m in awe at your video, it also hurts... Here in RUclips creators like you are civilized & conscious enough to tackle such topics but during the process of creating your content you use Artistic materials as a disposable tool to add value to your own “masterpiece”. The first thing you add in your video & missing in your description & credits is [ SONATA NO. 14 IN C-CHARP MINOR AKA MOONLIGHT BY #BEETHOVEN ] I LEARNED THIS PIANO SOLO WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD 21 YEARS AGO. I’m a classically trained pianist for 25 years since I was 7 ! I’m not a “highly skilled RUclipsr” to react with a video as a response to this ongoing uncivilized “TREND” All I can do is writing this comment reminding you of the importance of our classical music legacy, yes you may exploit us but at least have the decency to mention the details in your description ! It took me 6 months to master this piece it won’t take you 6 seconds to mention it .
I just can’t understand how white people act like the very next day that a law was passed that white people stopped being racist and act like it doesn’t still exist in them today and know they would freak out if their daughter or son comes home with someone black or Has a child with one!!! White people just lie to themselves! Because as black people we know what we go thru with you people trying to get jobs from you people is like a 120 pound man up against a 220 pound football team!!! They know they don’t hire us and dam near only want to hire white men and try to hire white women to say that they are fair but that’s a lie because white women were oppressed enslaved and discriminated against like black people all the way up until today and by law up until 1964 so I don’t understand why white people just don’t live in their truth you are racist and always will be racist!

Til this day. Which after awhile I would think Afri people would stop worshiping the god of the one that put them in bondage. Then again, Israel did the same thing in Egypt until freed and rediscovered their god.
@@FiveMCity those white people secretly worship satan, they dont have god's spirit in them but satan's spirit instead without realising it, the Christian God is not the God of white people but of all creation, God will denie them on jugement day
@@FiveMCity "We" (as in black people) weren't reason'd into Christianity so a reasonable objection such as the 1 u pointed out won't lead "Us" out... im a atheist tho so 🤷🏾♂️
@@FiveMCity man that never happened, they wasn’t enslaved in Egypt. You will never find anything in the Bible historically existing except for locations but the events never token place. You won’t find Adams skeleton or burial site. Noah’s ark. Jesus sandals. Nothing. The few things that they have are skeptical and have been proven fake.
I think the fact that these people did what they did shows they weren't christians. It's a myth that you bought into that's all. You're buying into bad myths I say you get your money back
A picnic at a lynching had forever changed my attitude at how humans are. The kids smiling and playing, the parents talking and eating among a body. Many of them would have called themselves Christians too, believing that they will enter heaven in open arms. It takes a lot to make yourself believe and do something evil.
There's a bias in American history with the lynching of BM period. A vast majority of BM lynched were not BM involved with WW but BM who achieved economic success. How BM were lynched was something similar to Black Wall Street. American history completely omits that there were many black cities and towns like Tulsa that were very economically successful and independent. One by one they were all massacred. There's a saying never get your history from the people who oppressed you.
I went through a bunch of incidents of lynching, and honestly, economic success seems like it would vaguely reasonable, if evil, compared to the frequent reality. Crime is committed, nearest black man apprehended and killed, case closed. The even more fucked up part is that loads of pedophiles got away with brutal rapes and murders because they’d just pin it on the nearest black man.
Negro Black, Hispanic and Native are True Israelite from the 12 tribes from the Bible🤔 Let God Speak: “And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.” Deuteronomy 28:68 KJV “Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!” Habakkuk 2:12 KJV “For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.” Isaiah 14:1-2 KJV
And most of the people who hide behind the sugar-coated tripe are doing the MOST harm to the wimmens and childrenz. =_= That's why I just wave those people off. They don't really mean it. It's a fluffer-buffer to make them seem somewhat noble, but look behind their closed doors. A horror show.
You take a people from their native country enslave them, make it illegal for them to read and write punishable by death then call him illiterate. This behavior is deranged at best.
Seems like these people were massively insecure and had nothing better to do. Imagine calling yourself a Christian and thinking you’re going to heaven while simultaneously oppressing a group of people. Like wtf?
Tiffany, what angers me to the same degree as this horrible history itself, is the amount of negroes intellectuals who sit around spinning, rationalizing or mitigating these historical facts attempting to sanitize it and make it seems to be something other than what actually is. Candace Owens, for example, will tell us not to make a big deal of it because "it was *only* a total of 122 black people that were lynched." Where from or how she came up with that exact number? But even if it was just one lynch it was one lynch too many. And paradoxically--though not surprising--the most vociferous group of people pushing back against the mere idea of *Reparation* happens to be these negroes! This is insurmountably unsettling to me.
@@masterson0713 Just because someone is a slave when they come into your possession doesn’t absolve you from their sins and allow you to lynch, burn, hang, bomb, torture, and kill people as if they are animals. . . It’s like saying Jews don’t matter because hitler wanted to exterminate them. We are all people and all bleed the same.
And it's people like that smiling little girl at the lynching who became senators, judges, police officers, presidents etc. No wonder things haven't changed.
@@wazgoodtwinspodcast9103 this has been disproving there were white men before the bible was written. Esau was not the first white man they were living in caves 1000s of years before the Bible was written
The sad part is that when the minority who suffers, become the majority, they behave no differently We see this with blacks, Muslims Blacks as majority Christians have no problem condemning unbelievers to hell Morals, values, who they are as people does not matter - belief alone will condemn them Just as the Jews were condemned for being Jews Just as blacks were condemned for being black And of course Muslims as a minority here in the west are all for equal rights for all, see people for who they are and not their religion - morals that they drop so quickly once they gain in numbers Might Makes Right & that is the sad truth
What I find awful is even if a black man were to accept his circumstances, put on a positive attitude, and do the best he can, the racists would still commit violence towards him out of envy. How DARE a black man have self esteem!
@@tias.6675Don’t give the white supremacists anything. Do you know just how many racist white trash are lazy af? People are lazy because of their actions, not their race
This was unsettling to me, as it should be. I spent the last half watching with my mouth agape. No matter how bad you think systemic racism is; it’s worse than that.
Well said.The history of american slavery is too horrific for most adults to wrap their heads around. But all the racist colonial thinking and propaganda that made it possible are still alive and well in the u.s. today. So public schools have to actually tell kids what happened and what is happening. I'm not sure how any society can heal from what's been done here but I'm sure that denial,whitewashing history,pretending everythings fine,or replacing the uncomfortable history with a more convenient mythology are all counterproductive.
@@anpdm1 indeed “If you stick a knife nine inches into my back and pull it out three inches, that is not progress. Even if you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound, and America hasn't even begun to pull out the knife, much less try and heal the wound. They won’t even admit the knife is there.” Malcolm X
No irony at all. Bible has no trouble with the crucifixion of the thieves on either side of Jesus or prescribing stoning for adultery. Stoning was a communal event.
@@pauleohl We’re not talking about crucifixions & thieves. We’re talking about murdering innocent people strictly based on the color of their skin. Not the most religious person, but pretty sure that’s one of God’s biggest “no no’s.”
@@Messiah_BlackGod I don’t think has any statements on racism, at least there’s nothing in the bible calling it wrong. Old Testament has a lot of stuff with God ordering genocides, but the New Testament doesn’t have anything calling racism wrong.
@@Messiah_Black "Not the most religious person, but..." People weren't executed "strictly based on the color of the skin". They were executed because they had committed some sort of offense.
@@meat-hv6uh Again, they weren’t “executed”, they were murdered. Only thing the residents of Black Wall Street were guilty of was being more successful than their white neighbors…
They never hated hitler for what he did/believed in lol their hatred for him only came after Germany declared war on America with Japan. People were literally protesting against the government for aiding Britain & France against Germany before PH
I couldnt even watch a cat or dog being lynched. The psycological state of people who could watch a human being lynched and not even flinch should be studied for generations. To completely remove empathy and humanity from someone's psyche...It's literally like having the mind of a serial killer, except on a massive scale.
oh no they definitely don’t believe that, they pretend like they don’t believe it so they don’t have to deal with the shame that comes from their ancestors being fucking monsters.
I lived in one of the counties were one of last REPORTED mass lynchings happened, a family was murdered and the woman who was pregnant was massacred and her belly was specifically targeted, some of my classmates were the grandchildren of the people who did this and they were not allowed to talk about the subject at all. These are the people that are complaining about CTR, they want to hide what they did. I had classmates less than 5 years ago say that someone was a “n--er lover” for saying something positive about a black classmate. I also want to emphasize that I still hear TO THIS DAY of black people “mysteriously” going missing and then their bodies showing up hanging from trees. Ahmaud Arbery was murdered with this sentiment too it was just caught on camera. Police do little to nothing to investigate this because they themselves believe in the racist rhetoric that is extremely prevalent in all of the states but definitely the south. This shit has never stopped it’s just hidden a lot more.
One thing that discusts me in my lifetime is not only watching the brutality that happeened in the sixties, but what in the living hell is wrong with the black maan today. Killing one another faster that a lynchman can tie a knoose!!!
@@johnlgreen7501 shut the hell up john, that’s not comparable to racist killing done by hateful racist white people. Your little opinion about how black people behave or do anything means absolutely nothing and sounds more like an old man who watches wayy too much fox news yelling at a cloud. People don’t care about your opinion nor do they have to. Learn to be silent when you don’t have anything of substance or coherence to say.
CRT has made black people bold about their racism and hatred of those not the right color. I'm not even white and have been targeted. My half black friend has also been targeted for "not being black".
@@amariiiii1461 @Izel C if you're making judgements about someone based on their appearance and not content of character, that's racism (not discrimination). Which I'm certain they would pull if they could get way with it, I'm not even allowed to approach black people anymore without getting shit on. They don't deserve a pity party. Perhaps they should do some self reflection rather than attempt to blame their poor choices on white people. They're not trusted for valid reasons. No amount of guilt trips and demanding power is going to change that.
@@amariiiii1461nah, people from Africa are fine, they're glad to be here. Older people are fine. Obnoxious children seeking power and a pity party that think they know something because the TV wants them angry are absolute morons. You're not gonna convince people targeted by assholes that there are only a few bad apples especially when their culture brags about murder and crime. I'm not about to forget fearing for my safety because they wanted to catch me in the parking lot. What is lynching? 😂 You're just a virtue signaler with theories. Spend some time in the hood and tell me how well you were treated 🤡
Full disclosure, I'm a historian. Overall, this is a very good video, but it makes it sound as if this was a Southern problem alone. While the South was the bastion of hard-core racism, the Klan was very active in the North. There's an image if the Klan in this video in which banners proclaiming that this is the Muncie, Illinois chapter are prominently displayed.
In my view, its kind of an European problem. The Roman Empire - European colonialism - Hitlers fight for «lebensraum» - US world Empire. Its the mind of «I know best, I am strongest, I have rights». US once attacked black freedomfighters. Today China and any country opposing US capitalism are attacked. Due to propaganda, most americans today support a war with China, just like they once supported slavery. Nothing really change.... it just mooves to another place.
The historian Whitman recently made this same important observation about how nationwide (that us, far from exclusively Southern) US racism went in the Jim Crow period, it's in his 2017 book *Hitler's American Model: the United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law.* Thank you for the video.
there was a human zoo in new york or something i think. there was probably only a handful of humans from european decent who werent racist in those days. it was as normal as breathing air to them back then..
My mother was a Southern WASP who grew up in a small town in the Ozarks in the 30's. Though very intelligent and college educated, she was very bigoted. For some reason she was able to rationalize marrying my dad, who was half Filipino and half Jewish! Anyway, he told me that when they moved to California in the '60, they went to a department store where my mom was helped by a black saleswoman. My dad came up to find my mom literally frozen in place with horror, her arms extended and her mouth hanging open. He was so embarrassed that he grabbed her by the hand and dragged her away, later telling her to grow up and never do that again. When I was a child, she would nostalgically talk about how black people "really knew their place" in her home town. The odd thing was that my grandmother, who was born in 1897 and also a Southerner, was not bigoted! She told me that a person's character, and not their skin color, was what mattered. There's one more part of the story- though she chose to marry my dad, she seemed openly disappointed that I, who was part Filipino and Jewish, didn't look European. Especially when in my teens my hair became very curly and frizzy, probably taking after my Jewish and Filipino tribal anscestors. She said in tones of horror that I looked like "a native" and forced me to get my long hair cut and use hair straightener. When I left home I never cut it again in honor of my anscestors, and now at 62 I can practically sit on it. My boyfriend loves my "ethnic" hair.
It made sense when you said Ozarks. That area is racist af. Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado... All that shit is racist af. My wife's mom has a lake house in the Ozarks. I don't fuck with her and she don't fuck with me. I don't fuck with her bc she's not a good person. She don't fuck with me bc I'm black. Of I was the same guy in YT skin, she would LOVE me😂 Oh well🤷🏾♂️
Hey! Im curious what you think led to your moms bigotry when her own mom was accepting of everyone, so i asume she didn’t learn it from upbringing? Have you ever talked with her about it?
@@jorma8785that's an interesting question. My own grandmother was like the OP's mom... she told me once about her favorite maid, "She was my favorite because she knew her place." Even as a child it disgusted me that she would WANT someone to be... _performatively subservient_ to her. To me it was just grotesque in general, but even moreso because for her in that time and place, her maids were so _easy_ to treat that way. I think oftentimes these are malignant narcissists, and racism is perfect for them because skin color (and systemic racism) make racism just so damn _convenient._
@@suzbone I also think racism and narcissims have a correlation because you would think that a persons own moral compass and ethics would tell you that no human is superior to an other. But i also think that older generations just were wrongly educated and actually believed in the ”scientific and biological proof” that support racist ideology.
My dad has personal experience with the concept of racial purity. His father was from Mississippi, and his uncles were clansmen down there. When you brought up the anecdote of the white boy sharing an apple with a black boy it reminded me of this story my dad told me about a friend he had in his neighborhood who was black, and that he would share food with him all the time thinking nothing of it. Well, it wasn’t an issue because his dad wouldn’t be home from work at least. One day his dad got home early and saw my dad sharing an ice cream cone with the boy, and naturally my dad unfortunately got beat because of that. All because of an ice cream cone. Thankfully this attitude had the opposite affect his dad wanted it to.
@@abstract5249 And just like denying education on the basis of being uneducated (among other roundabout, self-fulfilling pretexts), conservative social policy from segregationists to “law and order” (oxymoronic) has done everything possible to create those scenarios in ghettoizing people and subsequently placing blame for *government* failure onto ordinary citizens to deflect from any action taken to reverse course on the damage already done. Cyclical and self-perpetuating as always.
The fact that they were accusing black men of the acts that they were actually committing against black women makes me sick. This is why we must honor our ancestors. They survived 400 years of hell for us to even be here.
Me too brother. The whole thing just a distraction. They make the average white male look responsible for everything bad on earth. Its the elite in the background who is to blame...
Because they saw black people as sub-human, so they never even considered hypocrisy. Violence against black people was seen as violence against a wild animal.
The Idea that you could call a human being an inherently malevolent person due to their blood, yet see no hypocrisy in burning them alive after cutting them to pieces, is an irony beyond no other.
@@OscarDirlwood cuz it sounds like your calling people not human??? which is kind of the opposite of the whole point of my perogative?????? HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING???
That's really not surprising. Christians have committed violence for centuries, especially toward each other. It is odd that the violence in this case was racist though, seeing as Christianity is a very antiracist religion despite being regressive in terms of gender and sexuality.
Jesus once warned of the hypocrite. Matthew 23:27: “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.”
Yeah and people wonder why I as a black woman do not subscribe to Christianity. But the funny thing is white people have been understanding as to why I feel the way that I do. Versus the black people in my life be it family or friends. They have called me the devil, wicked or evil. The irony!
Never forget the victims of this domestic terrorism. They were people too. They were people's sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, grandmothers, etc. They should never be forgotten.
@@ravinderdhupia4779it’s a fitting word, lynchings and most hate crimes are done to instill terror and fear into the opposition whoever that may be, and sow further divide between “them” and “us”
My question has always been: why the violence? How do you convince yourself AND YOUR CHILDREN that the human you are killing is less than you and therefore it's ok? How do we go from slavery to lynching? The joy they took in killing Humans. And people wonder why we still tend to keep to ourselves.
If you view something as a lesser lifeform, killing it doesn't alter you. Nobody walks around avoiding harming insects and plants they walk on. It's not something meant to be looked at logically.
@@bazzfromthebackground3696 beyond the excuse of war, how can you LYNCH AND/OR BURN ANOTHER HUMAN AND WATCH WITH YOUR FAMILY? This isn't "the Enemy". This is a person accused of a crime. And the press even condoned it with rewards.
@@bazzfromthebackground3696 you don't think about the cow you're eating or the chicken and they treat people lesser than them like livestock something to be used abused and thrown away when useless
My grandparents lived in Missouri and I remember as a kid my grandpa saying when he was a fire fighter, he wouldn't rush to save black people. I was shocked, it was very disturbing to me. I would say it's getting better but as a white person some of the stuff I hear is so racist that I remember how little time has passed in our country since things like segregation were normal. And now, bringing this stuff up is considered "woke" and people will say it was so long ago we should move on but those are the same people that are racist behind closed doors.
This is historical. It was routine for them to leave black people (even babies) in burning buildings. They would turn around and act like they didn't hear the crying. This still rarely happens today also.
Originally "woke" meant exactly that - being aware of societal issues. It was coined by black people only to be taken over by the people who don't want to see any issues in current society. Racial or otherwise Same with CRT. Critical race theory - questioning societal construct of race. 1/4 black person is still considered "black" even though they're 3/4 white. It's stupid but it still influence lives of people
You are correct, people insist these are things of the past, but evil is the same as yesterday. We always have to be ready to do good. The bible even confirms it. "For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2
I'm half white/hispanic, but I look very white and growing up in the South in the 70's and 80's I heard a lot of racist talk. Just ignore the whole "woke" conversation. It's just an attempt at manipulation to get people to stop talking about racism. Another manipulative saying is that "the word racism is used so much it's lost its meaning", which is just more BS.
Wrong. CRT erases history, teaches young people that their history sucks and their future sucks. Rewriting history is something Communist do and that is the real truth behind the motivation.
It’s terrifying how much you can hurt somebody by just deliberately making shit up about them. I cannot imagine my existence being politicised and seen as inherently lesser 😞
This is happening to trans people in America rn, Maybe not lynching but some of us are being stoned to death and our lives are being heavily Politicized over things that simply aren’t facts about us. it’s kinda wild :( I hate that they target anyone and everyone outside of a small box they seem to be right or good or “correct” It’s horrible, even parts of our own community rather hate on us than be the ones hated on. Very different histories but the way the south and klans people treat us is horrific and there are quite a few parallels
@@freremartyr8311 And have you seen how they treat drunk drives. Just because a few of us crash and that’s somehow enough of an excuse for them to rob and kidnap us.
@@freremartyr8311 It really doesn’t help when you actively support exposing minors to male strippers in the name of “teaching them tolerance” and get defensive when people bring up de-transitioners because you feel like it would invalidate your pro-trans narrative since you only care about yourself. Oh yeah, the part where you think exposing kids to pornographic books has anything to do with the lgbt is also kinda weird, and also when you claim that nobody was medically transitioning minors while simultaneously freaking out about laws that makes medically transitioning minors illegal.
@@doIIsparts i assume they're talking about assumptions the far-right often likes to make about trans people, such as that we're supposedly groomers and rapists.
It’s not just the acts of the past. Every one of the 3000+ lynched people had friends, relatives, children, family, neighbors and every one of their descendent’s is living with the trauma today as well as current day racism.
I just finished watching Till which is abt Emmet Till, young boy who was brutally lynched when he went to Mississippi, and Congress just in the March 2022 passed a new act named after him that makes lynching a punishable hate crime, of course there was previous anti hate crime legislation and he was well known for being a catalyst for civil rights but it’s crazy it took that long to be specifically outlawed to me.

There's that old saying that, "if you don't learn from history then you're doomed to repeat it..." It's crazy when you think about how many people of the US are often arguing that to teach her kids a holistic history of our country means that we're teaching them to hate their country. In that very argument is the acknowledgement that our country has not always been on the good side of History!! And the irony is often lost on them...

@@williammcfarlane6153 No one wants to do that. That’s a figment of your delusion.

All you have to do is read CRT scholars like Crenshaw to know they explicitly state to use CRT as a tool to dismantle everything, including k-12 and all of our institutions. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Not even that. There were towns were it was illegal for anyone who was not propertied to be unemployed. And your employer could force you to stay employed with him. You could run away to another town, but it was hardly freedom.

As an American, and especially a southerner, I cannot even begin to articulate my shame, disgust, and hatred for the people of this region who did this to other human beings. Not just doing it, but taking joy in it. It fills me with a feeling beyond rage
This is a valid feeling. And exactly why people like governor DeSantis wants to ban this kind of conversation. To help it perpetuate by denying an uncomfortable crucial analysis to eliminate it.
As someone who grew up in the south, its scary just how normal it felt being raised with actual racists in my life, to just pick up those same beliefs as a child and maintain the status quo. Luckily I had plenty of good role models as well and once I learned how powerful and hurtful those words and ideas can be I decided at my core I wanna accept people for who not what they are.

I generally try to take anything I learn with a grain of salt but AP collage board is mostly neutral, leaning left if anything.
The south isn't the only place in America where segregation and Jim Crow law existed. When I was a kid, my dad was a night watchman at a concrete factory in Cincinnati, Ohio. On weekends, he would sneak me into work with him. There were white and colored only water fountains and locker room showers. This was about 1973 or 74. School desegregation bussing didn't start until about 76 or 77. It was fully implemented in Cincinnati in 1979, state wide by 1980. Racism isn't just relegated to the south. It's everywhere.
The scariest part about situations like this is that if you were born there at that time period you almost certainly wouldn’t be any different as for most people if something is implanted into their brains during childhood it’s pretty difficult for that to change without an outside factor
Bingo, but let's just remember, these people are someone's grand parents and these people are still around. These people have also raised children who are now in power lol this hasn't gone anywhere.
@@nocapnobs7845 well yeah lol racism hasn't just disappeared in the last couple years but I would argue a factor in it lessening quite a bit is that with the internet it's a lot easier to hear from other sources to get you to realize why you were wrong.

Today's racism is micro-aggressions, assumptions, gaslighting, being sucked into conversations that can be used to for example, get you fired or reputation damage lol be very careful, most black people just too naive.

i grew up as a minority in a mostly white school. this really shaped my perspective when learning about the jim crow and civil rights eras in 2nd grade, although i am not black. as a child, i had no mature concept of race, but i did experience being treated differently whether during art projects or kids pointing out how i was different than them. it drove me mad. how could humans do this to each other? i thought as i paced back and forth with immense anxiety in the hallways of my school in 4th grade during a video on mlkj's childhood. how can my teacher just speak so nonchalantly about such horrific events? i tried to wait until the video was over to go back because i knew if i went back in, i would just be haunted by the white faces in the room that robotically stared at the screen like it was nothing. this was in like, 2004. i had many nightmares, and was tortured by not the ideology itself, but by the reactions of people. i avoided literally anything about race. including movies and tv shows that played during black history month. one time my sister was watching one and i covered my ears in another room the entire episode. it ultimately led to my self hatred in middle and high school, where i actively ignored, ran away from, and avoided any poc who came to me. my parents are white, so its not like i could talk to them about it, as i was even a minority in my own family. i just feel like if i had someone to sit me down and expand on whitewashed versions of the history i learned, it would've helped alleviate some of the trauma. now as an adult, i actively do the opposite of what i did as a child. i actively search for information about race, i openly discuss it with people, and i strive to educate others about it. the reason i did a 360 is simple. i met and befriended other people of color and talked about my experiences, and representation became better in media. without the exposure and representation i gained i would've stayed the naive child i always was. without moving away from my childhood town, i would've probably been destroyed by trauma. white people here in the midwest hate talking about race and thats why theyre so ignorant about it. but it doesnt affect them because they are the winners in that history, so they ultimately dont care. this leads to black and indigenous people that live here to accept lies about their own history. i accepted many lies of my own history as well. if white people were open to talking about it more, they would learn so much. i majored in sociology and anthropology because learning about the theoretical frameworks of race in academic terms positions the topic in social context, rather than centered in my emotions. now the "edge" of fear that existed is gone and i have a more complex understanding of why society accepts these things.
I feel like your story shapes the other end of my experience as a white person. I live in Switzerland and my father is a racist and a far right conservative. I grew up very sheltered from the realities of slavery and racism, because we were told that it has happened in the past, black people were liberated over 100 years ago and have no reason to still struggle with unstable governments. The first time I had a black classmate was when I was 13, and because I was someone who was raised in an abusive household and only got a disgnosis for her ADHD after moving out, I was the weird girl in the class, though not the ugly one (but that in a way paved the way for people to think this girl looks nice she is probably normal and not a neurodivergent abused mess) so the circumstances led more to the black girl targeting me, because she was actually quite populat in our classroom. I never connected that she maybe did that because picking another target would maybe get people off her back, but I can only speculate that that was likely the case. So the thing is that, because I was sk sheltered I literally thought that racism was done with. Society has moved on and we trest everyone the same, and for that reason, I feel like I didn't actually think there is a difference between white and black people. I don't recognize colour as an important factor to a person, because what matters more is the story of their life that made them. That ignorance is a bliss in that sense. I definitely have some internalised racism in me aswell from that, that I even to this day have yet to discover and put into perspective. What changed my course was, when my sister decided to work in Ghana as a teacher for half a year and returned to tell us just how beautiful the place is and she fell in love with the country. In order to keep up with her, I also had to start reading about the place and I one day decided to visit Ghana with her, while I simultaneously decided to read a history magazine (Geo Epoche, it's german and I wish it had english versions for me to share with people). The introduction reads that we nowadays look at Africa as a puzzling place, we do know that slavery happened, but we struggle to explain how they still struggle with corruption, finances, systems etc. this magazine tries to read explore the history of the traumatised continent that is Africa. So during my journey through Ghana, I met just so many kind people and read the first pages sbout the colourful cultures in Africa, and I was happy to also see that represented in my surroundings. Then they started zooming in on the first people that arrived and struggled to even make it far into the land, and how people died from disesases and the heat. It took europeans a long time to actually "arrive". At this point My sister urged me to go to the Elmina castle, which is a former "goldmine" of the portugese, but became a slavery marketplace, and a guide explained how over the span of 400 years, people went from trading gold and other goods, to selling slaves snd then tried to make that profitable, and eventually make it so efficient that they kept people in tiny spaces, gave them the minimum amount of food snd water and shipped them like animals across the waters to be sold for profit. The process of robbing the black person of their humanity took us white people several years, each generation was out to do more efficient trades and make more profit than the last one. I really came out of this place so hit by reality and disgusted with my own rationalising of the past and how I was not even the worst person I have met, that was justifying such a past. I was outside of the castle still meeting people that were all just so kind and I was just thinking "how can you be so nice, when you know what the people of my colour have done to you? How are you still so willing to give me a chance when you have every reason to act like we're horrible people and go ahead to avoid us like a plague to protect yourselves?" I continued my read in the magazine about priests that bragged about converting people or slaughtering them, and I met people in Ghana still that shared their own wisdom with me, taught me how to do things and it just made me realize a cognitive dissonance in everything around me and in me. I sometimes wish I could have remained ignorant because I can no longer pretend all is fine. We spent 400 years traumatising and exploiting a full continent, and even to this day are not interested in returning any of the goods or even apologise for what we did. On top of it all, our media still presents Africa as a place of poverty so little of significance we forget it's a continent at all, and while treating people of colour the way we do. I am sorry for it all. On another note, I have to say that I myself am not white as I said in the beginning. I'm actually half taiwanese because my dad is the type that went to work in asia 40 years ago and married a taiwanese woman and I and my older sister are a product of that. But I look white and I was raised white. The abuse I experienced by that man is mirrored by how he treats my mother. It would be easy to pretend history away...go back to act like colour does not matter, but it does, nor because I think less of people of colour (really my experience was shaped my how all were mostly kind and fun, despite the history both of us carry), but by realizing what my colour says about me. It says that you have reason to be scared that I will use it as an advantsge, that I in society people treat me differently from you. I will try for my lifetime to make up for the things we have done, but I will live for 60+ years and it will never be anything compated to400 years of several people being lost in that genocide. I want to apologise for what was, and say that I admire how people were willing to forgive and give us a chance to oftentimes prove that racism still exists. I don't know if I could be so forgiving.
@@corneliahanimann2173 young lady, I can appreciate your journey and the fact that you've recently discovered a reality that was both amazing and terrifying at the same time. I'm a black american who was raised in a middle-class household, both parents whom are still married, two brothers and one sister, and countless neighbors and friends in my early childhood. I went to school with mostly white students, and had many white friends. Race issues were not evident to me until several of my black associates, including cousins and schoolmates, ridiculed me of "talking white," because my father and mother ensured that our vocabulary was advanced and polished enough to be able to have conversations and interactions "from the executive office to the gutter," as my father so profoundly put it. Being ridiculed by so-called "my people" caused me to grow resentment, among other factors I had no control of. I never had a big circle of friends, and the ones I had were white and black. As I grew older and experienced life, I found that there are so many people who are so emotionally charged and driven, that logic has no place in their experiences. I've been called the n-word by blacks, whites, latinos, and asians. I've taken the sting out of that word because the meaning is dumb or foolish, so the persona of the word as characterized by those driven to direct it at me because of their emotions doesn't cause me any level of harm or concern. A few times, I've laughed and called them the n-word in return, and was amused by the look of shock on their faces... but the self control to rise above the insignificant and ignorant things is something I consider a gift. A wise person told me "choose your battles CAREFULLY; life's full of them as it is..." I charge you, Ms. Cornelia Hanimann, to wean yourself off of feeling any sense of responsibility, sorrow, or remorse for the crimes against humanity and atrocities committed against blacks as a whole, and instead, do your best to make as positive an impact on as many lives as you encounter. The only life you can control is yours, but the power you have to positively influence and impact those around you can be as immense as you wish! I wish you and your sister success, peace, and longevity!
What a Beautiful person you seem to be. In Malcolm X's autobiography, he mentions speaking at college and after his speech, a young college girl came up to him and said she was soo sorry about slavery. She was white. He said she asked him what SHE could do to help matters. He said he saw the sincerity in her. He said it was one of the few times that he was rendered speechless. After a few minutes, he told her to just try to help people when she could. After that he went to Mecca and saw people of ALL colors shapes and sizes praying to the SAME GOD! He realized then that just like MLK. said(people should be judged by CHARACTER and Not skin color. He realized that the Devil comes in ALeeL colors shapes and sizes! YOU are not to blame for History. YOU were not THERE! Let's maybe just try to help the best that we can, RIGHT NOW! IT kind of makes me sad to think that OTHER people feel as you felt. Someone keeps bringing this OLD STUFF UP! Some SAD ass people that try to manipulate people by using GUILT! F THEM! I am a BLACK man. Best of ALL to YOU! Ps: The first man to sell a black man was ANOTHER black man, the first man to sell a white man was ANOTHER White man. First murder? A man killed his own brother. To me, not much has changed. It's just www. Cain and Abel. com. That's ALL.
My roommate in college was a white supremacist from the south. I’m personally Indian American, having grown up exclusively in the north east. And until I lived with her, I truly did not know how alive racism true and fully was in this country. This history isn’t taught and I remember how she would behave if she saw a person of color walk her way. She would ban me from speaking to my parents in our room as I often would speak a mix of Hindi, Tamil and English, foreign tongues that bothered her. She banned me from bringing my friends (many of whom were nonwhite) as she was afraid they’d “dirty the place”. She’d rant and rave over affirmative action, over feeling unsafe passing black classmates in the engineering department. And I remember one day, I opened up to someone about her treatment, how she would force me to clean after her as “that’s what you people do”, how she would kick me out for engaging with my culture, or my friends, or doing anything that disturbed her sensitivities, about how she used to call different revolutionary figures dirty names, and how this girl used to throw her underwear at me when drunk because I should be cleaning after her… well one of her friends on campus found out and told her. That’s when my true nightmare began. She began a campaign of trying to get me kicked out of the dorm for informing on her. She lied that I threatened her and was scary and aggressive (she had physically pushed me at a point to where I dislocated my shoulder… who was the aggressor here?). And her family came from money in the south. With a $100K check, I was made to lose my dorm room and for 3 months, I slept on people’s floors until my university realized I was building bad press against them and was finally given a room. In those months, I’d starved, been hungry, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t focus. All I did was try to survive. White supremacy never died. It never ended. They will never learn because they see the rest of us as nothing.
@Dude_of_the_twel-sevent_order my parents are both Indian (from India, they’re us citizens) but I was born and raised in the us hence I’m an Indian American (that is my racial classification).
Matthew 25:31-46 NKJV [31] “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. [32] All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. [33] And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. [34] Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: [35] for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; [36] I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ [37] “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? [38] When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? [39] Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ [40] And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ [41] “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: [42] for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; [43] I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ [44] “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ [45] Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ [46] And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” bible.com/bible/114/mat.25.31-46.NKJV
That hate for sure still exists in the descendants of these people. It is not possible for that to be completely gone in less than a couple generations.
Hate comes in many forms, racism is only one of them. Using resentment against, or demonizing, a particular group of humanity can turn out badly, please see history: Jews, Catholics, Muslims, etc…
I'm still early in the vid, but I want to make one correction: the 13 Admendment don't completely abolish slavery. It still allows forced labor in the prison system, which has been a form of slavery used for decades since the 13th amendment
Correct. If a person has been convicted by a court of law and is imprisoned for a term of years to a prison, the 13th amendment permits the prison to use the prisoner's labor without paying him. Some states, like CA, pay their prisoners who labor a nominal wage. Others, like AL - do not. Slavery is not one thing. I could argue that wage slaves are in fact slaves, or that inmates in AL are slaves, but frankly - neither of those examples rise to the level of inhumanity found in 19th century American chattel slavery.
@@romanmanner I believe that all three types are abhorrent human conditions. Comparing atrocities solves nothing and comparing status quo to worse times in the past generates stagnation and/or regression. It's like Doug Stanhope said: Your suck doesn't make my suck, suck less. My neighbor being morbidly obese doesn't change the fact that my extra five pounds makes my belt too tight. I have that problem regardless. But I can compare myself to him and feel an unearned sense of accomplishment by default, _or_ I can stick to comparing me to a personal ideal of myself in the future. One makes me complacent, the other sends me to the gym.
It is just as disgusting to have white supremacist groups still spewing their racist ideology to impressionable young people today. All of that ideology is just as harmful and dangerous as anti-Semitism. All the lynchings of African- Americans has left an ugly, troubling, and shameful legacy of rank injustice upon our nation.
How 's that lacking self awareness? You just aren't very sophisticated and you're intellectually bankrupt and of course you're perverted morally bankrupt (but that's a given).. Explain to me your point since u have such condescending Tone
I'm going to keep it real with you as a black man and as educating as this video is it makes me incredibly sad that I have to scroll in comments to take the attention off the video.
Me too. I'm a black woman living in the Caribbean. I feel this urgency of anger rising from the pit of my stomach. So I must only half listen and divide my attention.
exactly like how tf is there racism in these comments?? I thought the point of the video was that racism was horrible why are we still doing that? of course, none of them will admit they’re racist out loud anymore, but we all know what’s going on.
The psychology behind it is simple, "we need to make sure we're better than them." You can replace "we" and "them" with anyone. The point is to remain "elevated" over those around you to assert dominance.
Try religion - in the 21st century the top religions are those that preach division and hate Heaven only if you are with them - the rest - billions of Hindus, Atheists, Buddhists - entire families, women, children, even babies - to be set apart and dumped into gas chambers in hell! AND THEY PROMOTE SUCH IDEAS OPENLY! AND NOT ONE EDUCATED PERSON HAS PROTESTED! EVER! So much for all your big moral talk!
and this seems to me to stem from insecurities, an inferiority complex...I mean...honestly if guys were the main ones in charge then..the part about the size of genitals speaks volumes to me...because "why" even put that in writing...anyway, we have all interacted with insecure people at some point...we know how badly that can go...& you don't have to DO ANYTHING to become a target to those types other than exist
@@virallcullture8585 you’re correct it stems from insecurity and jealous also fear. that’s why they get mad when black people/poc get any type of attention, praise or success
Democrats have been actively engaged in an ethnic cleansing and genocide of the black community for ages. They enslaved the black man for decades, they created the KKK to terrorize and coerce the black community into submission, wrote/passed/enforced racist Jim Crow laws to segregate, prejudice, persecute and dehumanize the black community for additional decades, lynched both black and white Republicans for helping black people to obtain their rights, HEAVILY resisted the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960s, passed the Open Society Act which destroyed the black family pimping black women into welfare dependent baby-mommas and then passed racist drug laws throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The racist white supremacist Democrat KKK slave master party has decimated the black community and has shoved satanic and demonic ideologies down the throats of the black man and woman such as the victim complex which seeks to make black men and women into dumbed-down, lazy, dependent, ignorant, ungrateful substandard to mediocre voting slaves and the gender confusion of the transgender cabal. All of which is designed to keep black people from excelling and achieving their goals and dreams and creating godly, Christ-like families. The Democrats have turned black people into hateful, vengeful radical activists to destroy the American population. The democrats have no room or moral authority to advocate for a racial community that they are guilty of erasing by encouraging and legalizing the abortions of 30 million unborn black babies. The black community has stagnated at 13% of the American population for decades due to such radical and racist policies. It is literally in the Democrat DNA to enslave and subjugate the black man and woman, reversely it is in the Republican DNA to liberate and magnify the black community.

Instead of trying to sincerely and honestly repent of their political, civil and moral sins, they are trying to use ungodly, satanic and demonic ideologies to sweep their filth, their cobwebs and skeletons under the carpet. Instead of making a contrite and substantial apology for their inhumane treatment of minorities, offering to make restitution out of the Democrat party's coffers and political funds for slave reparations, coming to terms with the fact that their party's brand has such a notorious stain to the point of disbanding and dissolving altogether and to make and keep promises to root out racism, they push this bullshit marxist critical race theory to the point where it further divides the American population. Innocent, non-racist Republicans and Independents have no need to allow crt in their lives and in the lives of their children. Godly repentance is sufficient for Republicans and Independents to root out sin wherever it is found in their hearts and minds, not satanic forms of mind and behavioral control mechanisms. The racist leftist Democrat jackass party has a long way in trying to salvage their evil reputation as slave masters and tyrannical dictators. One of the best ways to build up the black community is to get a divorce from the racist Democrat jackass party. Trillions of dollars and decades of a sick allegiance to the Democrats have done absolute damage and destruction to the black community. After all that the Republicans have done to liberate the black man and woman from the vile clutches of the racist Democrat jackass party and for the black community to swear allegiance to their prior slave masters is just sick and wrong. I don't care if you all go join a third party or go back to the Republican party, you must divorce the Democrats who have done nothing for you all but ride you for votes and money. The Democrats have done nothing but keep you all in their inner city plantations and abuse you physically, emotionally, mentally, economically, electorally and spiritually.
It's the kids books that get me. You can't blame a kid for what they're taught. But once they're an adult, they become responsible for those beliefs. What's worse tho, is that it's really REALLY hard to unlearn what you were taught as a child, especially things that were so normal that they were in books and toys. It feels especially bad to me that the kids were taught "its for their own good," that these kids believed that it was good that they loved their black friends... only that they loved them like a dog.
This is heartbreaking to listen too but it’s a good reminder and this should be taught in every school because the more we censor and forget the past, the more we’re doomed and forced to commit the same atrocities.
@@valorie444it’s called freedom of speech if you wish to be free to say what you like and express your own beliefs then you should have no problem with the him “letting them”
Im not an American and it’s a bit hard for me to imagine living with this sort of history behind your society only so recently and live harmoniously with with the other group.
The fact that so many turn a blind eye to it being a terrible injustice and in some cases actually justifying the fact that it happened makes one ashamed and embarrassed to say they're from America. We have made progress but we have a long way to go.
The intro alone made my jaw drop wide open. They don’t teach about how bad this system was and just hint about it. Our education system must get better and stop hiding our dark past but rather teach younger generations so it never happens again!
We have a plethora of wannabe senators and representatives who would call a video like this Critical Race Theory or CRT. Who thinks we as Americans should forget that this happened? Or worst yet, pass a law not to teach this in schools anymore?
This video isn't critical race theory. This is just straight up history. Critical race theory wants to hind behind the phase" it's just teaching history " when it's teaching kids they need to be anti-racist. Teaching white kids they need to put themselves 2nd, 3rd, etc... behind other races to bring up that particular person purely on race. You can teach kids history without teaching kids to be race activists.

In the course of human nature, on both sides of the issue, it is what it is, and happened just as should have when people cower instead of fighting.

@@weego2585exactly y’all telling the truth. I been saying this everytime it’s brought up. Glad to know it’s people that think like me. 2 world wars and countless wars. Countless nations colonized and some want to talk about stuff that’s been going on for the past 30 years like do you not know of the 30 years war, 100 years war, war of the roses, crusades, list goes on and on. Deaths in the millions and billions and they talk about gang violence lol. Gang violence deaths is nothing close to the war started over killing to take a chair and crown lol 😂
There is a mindset in the U.S. that is older than the U.S. A culture of white supremacy, handed down through the generations. If anyone thought that a war, or law, or anything else would change their minds, their values and way of operating, even after centuries, they have been naive. Now we have a movement to wipe out any of this historic information of injustice in schools...can you guess who spearheads this movement? The generations that have been taught that their white supremacy supersedes all laws, rights, study, and even the words of the savior they worship, that is who. They will tell you proudly that they are backwards, will never learn anything new, and will never change their "values".
White supremacy in America won't end for good until they're all rooted out and taken care of. It sounds brutal but it's the only way. They don't want to co-exist with those they feel are interior than they are.
And truth be told the black woman was forced to give birth to millions of white babies, many of those children grew up, crossed the color line and quickly and quietly became “white “.. hating themselves and other blacks with a passion
American history is full of these cases, from Native Americans to the Vietnamese, a country built with the blood of billions of innocent souls, and yet there are still many of its citizens who still have the courage to call themselves "nationalists" to continue committing atrocities
I met a girl who saw the lynching that took place in the small coastal town of Bahia, Brazil. The population invaded the prison and dragged through the streets of the city two prisoners who had killed a couple. The two prisoners were beaten and burned alive. The girl was 10 years old and ran away from home to go see what was going on. In the months that followed, the girl started having nightmares and reliving the scenes of ultra violence she witnessed. Whenever the mother did laundry, the girl would become extremely depressed and cry. With delicacy and care, the mother discovered that when smelling the coconut soap she used to wash clothes, the girl immediately remembered the smell of the poor guys burning. This happened many years ago. But I assume that girl will carry the trauma her whole life. Ultra violence deeply marks the victim, curses the perpetrator by forcing him to live intimately with a criminal and traumatizes those who witness it. This does not fail to occur even when the violence is racially or religiously motivated.
I am from eastern europe and this video legit made me cry. I simply don't understand how people can even think of treating another human beings like that, worse than animals...
The same happened there also with millions of humans starved, beaten and butchered, not that you're not aware of that just saying. Humans are the only species that kill their own for pleasure or simply for just being different!
@@onyxphantom6762 It's mostly about the propagandas and fallacies built to demonize and continuously bring down groups of people with lesser power in the recent past and even future in a lot of regards. The efforts in keeping minorities, particularly blacks, down and dehumanized through radical ideas of skin color (see Colorism) and still has many noticeable remnants of it's effects, like skin whitening and the still-segregated communities resulting from the past. In today's society, it's all about explaining why the results of these lasting systems still exists, which is why examining the past objectively is so important. You're definitely right about Classism being a major part, too.
It saddens me how cruel humans are capable of being to each other. But this is important work you are doing in helping us see how these social pathologies infect society.
@@ursamajor6347 It's not. Every human race has committed genocide and atrocity. Including Africans. African tribalism is exactly the same as racism. We are guilty of irrational inhumane discrimination too.
@@ursamajor6347 Oh. So I just imagined the Rwanda genocide? The Darfur genocide? The Tigray genocide? The clan based warfare in Somalia? You're the one that needs to educate yourself. Africans are full to the brim of black on black racism. We have no moral high ground criticising any other race of the same. And by the way, go ask an "untouchable" Indian what they think of brown on brown racism. Humans are just nasty evil beings regardless of colour and being in denial about it doesn't help make anything better.
Even at my ripe ole age of 49, I continue to be perplexed over the fact that someone can actually hate someone simply over the color of their skin or racial classification. I am even more baffled on how people of other races who live or have immigrated to America often share the same nasty viewpoints about Black people without having met a single Black person. Personally, I have encountered more racist people who identify as Hispanic and to a lesser degree Asians than Whites which to me means that the powers that be did a good job conditioning POC to hate each other in order to take the attention off of their own "fuckery". We are still negatively sterotyped and hated in 2022 regardless to how hard many of us are actually trying to educate ourselves for gainful employment and financial stability. Let one Black person commit a crime and here comes all the racist comments. Let one White person mass shoot and kill, the comment sections get awfully quiet or here comes the "mental illness" excuses. I mean....they could have just sent our ancestors back to Africa after slavery was abolished since we weren't wanted here. I do not expect nor want any White person to apologize for what some Whites have and continue to do because of their hatred towards any/all POC and for the record... I do not hate White people. Simply acknowledge the truths being presented and how these atrocities have negatively impacted the Black community AND maybe...just maybe though not in my time, our descendants will do better as human beings.
FYI, if u haven't noticed Latino and Asian racial/ethnic communities are very anti-dark skin + mainstream Hip Hop culture and constant Western media depictions of black people haven't helped portray black people in a positive light.
@@NavyCook08 He actually suggested this. Reread the paragraph where he talks about even latino and Asian communities are racist against black people showing how deep this indoctrination goes to have what is considered "minorities" fighting against themselves. Absolutely the music industry rather the entertainment industry, it's not limited to videos, depiction and use of the negative stereotypes put upon black people don't help with the overall image of who we are and that is by design. You have to stop and wonder why is it that as time goes and blacks advance why more negative portrayals are given also with this industry we have to look at conditioning much as what is being offered in this video when we are lead to believe this is the only way we can be successful then what do we do. Its all conditioning and decades of it all part of the design. We don't have to follow along however that very indoctrination is what is making us go along. It's deep and crazy
The Sam Hose events actually happened in my hometown, on my high school's campus where the Cranford home used to be. I just did a project for it for my AP Lang class, and let me tell you it is just as gruesome as described in the video. Events like these are so crazy and seem so fictional, it's absolutely unreal until you realize what horrific events had happened right over where you might be eating lunch. We even have a rumor that if you're at school early enough Sunday in the morning, you can smell eggs and bacon being cooked by the maid.
I go to Northgate currently!! I only recently found out abt this from my teacher at CeC and I’ve heard the rumors but never knew the story of Sam Hose or the graveyard till recently. Its so weird to think of all the coverups they do down here around racism because of stupidity from parents.
Here in northern Delaware, there was a similar incident in 1902 in a Wilmington locale called "Prices Corner." Today it is simply the location of a small shopping center, and many probably do not know of the horrible crime that took place on that very same area of land. I stumbled across the story in a small-circulation booklet I found in a local library. It was horrifying.
I think of this video whenever people argue about the sensitivity of society today. I don’t think many people realize how little we’ve actually changed when confronting societal issues and prejudices. The only thing that has changed is the practice of dealing with such issues. Racism is still a major problem in the U.S. and with free speech being as important as it is today, it’s only getting worse
@@hithere748 I graduated in 1997. This was glossed over with sterile language. I didn't read an unbiased history book until college when I read American History through 1865. It is a brutal read from beginning to end.
@@merrytunes8697 yes, it's sterile because it's meant for kids. They didn't talk about how people had been blown to pieces during ww2 or get cut to bits by mg42s.
Being from the Delta in North Eastern Arkansas, my siblings and I grew up around people who genuinely believed these awful tropes and said truly awful things about others based solely on the color of their skin. They used the “n-word” to describe people who they believed to be trashy or disgusting. I remember hearing it mostly behind closed doors or in the car on the way to family events. It genuinely traumatized me. I found myself wishing I’d never heard the word to begin with. But, unfortunately in those parts it is still too common. You can still see the impacts of redlining in the town I grew up in and how some parts of Arkansas just froze in time. Some towns haven’t changed in over a century as they slowly fade out of existence as the residents die and the weeds take back the foundations of houses and honeysuckles cover old gas pumps outside of dilapidated gas stations. And if you listen to these republicans in the south- you can tell racism is still very much alive and well. Those children grew up and now make the laws and because it was comfortable for them to be discriminatory towards people of color they are trying to instill it into law so future generations can carry the torch of hatred for them. I said “to hell with that” and got out of there in 2011. And it still feels like going to a different country. Stay strong even if it feels like the bad guys are winning. Enough of us understand that we need to combat racism and bigotry. It’s easier said than done- we just have to work to educate others and not shy away from history even if it makes us uncomfortable. We can’t change the past- but, we can address the problems and fix them so we don’t have to relive the past.
I applaud you for leaving. I moved to NLR in summer of 81 with my parents at age 13 from a suburb of Washington DC. I had never seen or heard such racism or such poverty. We went to White Hall first and were so horrified we went to NLR. My dad worked at NCTR near Pine Bluff. I got married age 18 and left age 21 going as far north as we could. AR is a horrible place and the people are so deceptive with their sugar sweet words and evil hate just under the surface. I'd never seen such evil.
Nicely put. Must take issue with your assertion that Republicans are somehow traditionally more racist. The Klan evolved from the Democrats and Democrats have a long history of hatred towards Black Americans. Malcom X description of White Liberal encounters he experienced are very telling. We are going to need each other over as this world desends into chaos
My dad was from that area and although he never said the n-word infront of me, he would often talk about how black men were evil and inferior to the white men
So hard to believe people felt this way and just knowing like this wasn't really it that long ago as much as people want to make it seem like it was. It's so hard to have faith in people sometimes. I am grateful to those who have migrated and or survived long enough for me to exist. Sometimes I don't see the point of existing but I'm grateful I guess
I'm not even close to retirement age. I saw a RUclips compilation of 'banned racist cartoons'. I remember seeing most of them on broadcast TV as a child. It wasn't socially inappropriate to call someone a n****r in public until I was in high school. I grew up in the north btw. The story of how my father ended up in the north involves my grandfather being murdered for his land in Alabama. "Every year white people add 100 years to how long ago slavery was." -Louis C.K.
The point is discovering your own happiness and surrounding yourself in it. Kidding. There is no point, but the rest of that statement is advice. Enjoy the all-too-short ride.
No, it wasn't long ago at all. My parents lived under these conditions during Jim Crow. They are both still very much alive. So, some of the people who believe things should still be this way are also alive. And taught their children to feel this way, too.
I always think how many times people look at photos thinking how they miss some sweet grandparent, and that grand parent absolutely was a willing person in this horrible torture of fellow humans. These people committed these horrific acts and nobody was every really held responsible.
This was not that long ago…for context, my wife’s grandfather was born in 1937 and grew up in the south, and he was raised by his parents with all of this in mind with every decision they made. It’s exhausting to think about so imagine what they went through.
Obviously a very well-made video, but two things are missing: first, there's no mention of Girard or mimetic theory, which in my view are essential for understanding lynching; second, it was not mentioned that lynching didn't end but simply changed form. Now it's assigned to police, who murder black people on camera for the enjoyment of millions. In addition, Americans are able to fulfill their need for racial scapegoats through US terrorism around the world, communicated to us in vivid color by modern technology.
Girard's mimetic theory is flawed. It's the basic 'keeping up w/the Jonese'. Food, water and shelter are necessities, lynchings are optional. Western Europeans subscribe to Abrahamic traditions of biblical blood lust and genocidal tendencies. Burning people at the stake for hearsay was Christian. Judaism has Moses' genocidal rage and Noah's curse of generational servitude. Every white supremacist collective founds themselves on their interpretations of those religious texts. Through that lens, lynchings was viewed as a moral entitlement. That's demonstrated in the fact that many lynchings occurred as an after church event.
The police killings are only a part of it. One major shift is that the vigilante violence, which used to take the form of public lynchings, now is done largely out of camera range and isn't limited to killing black people. The reorganization of white supremacists has been a slow process, as has been the forging of clandestine links with conservative politicians, with conservative evangelicals and yes, with members of the police in various states. Today's white supremacists are fully aware of the various tactics fascists used to take over Germany and various South and Central American countries. They know what to keep out of public view. Although I'm sure the armed forces have also been infiltrated I haven't yet seen any indication that the upper ranks have been compromised, but with another president like Trump that may not matter. I'm convinced that what's been going on in Texas and Florida is a part of it. Fascism can switch its targets as needed. It's not just limiting access to abortion or counseling for gay and trans kids, it's keeping medical care under draconian control and severely limiting access period. Same with the education bills. If it fails they will never admit what they were doing. They were just protecting the children and "the BAYBEES" (i.e. fetuses). So-called Gender critical feminists will try to claim that they were against both, I'm sure.
The thing that causes me to be taken back a little is that many young black people have no idea about any of this, and many don't really care all that much. Met a 19 year old black girl at the apartments I used to manage when she moved in, out on her own for the first time. We've become close friends for the last year and a half. She has no idea about any of this, nor seems too concerned about knowing her ancestors history and what they went through. Maybe it's for the better, in the end, considering we can't change what's been done, we can only keep focus on moving forward
Do you know what those words mean? This is senseless drivel. Wtf is wrong with this whole comment section! The video is perfect and completely sensible and the comments are ridiculous unthinking crap, even for RUclips
@@memecathar1263 I believe this comment completes its attempt to expound the almost "soft" terminology of lynching and murder. When you look at every human person and you understand the infinite beauty of their capability to have a conscience-- to think, love, grow, compromise, to be rational-- you could find it almost disrespectful to call what happened to these people mere murders. But of course, these are murders brought about via the action of lynching, and the description could just end there. Just calling it a murder can give the same amount of sting to the reality of the situation, but some people may prefer a more complex description that would suit their own understanding. It would be like comparing two students who both got the correct answer for a question where one showed his work while the other did not. Yet there wouldn't be a penalty for showing or not showing the steps; getting the correct answer is worth all the points. Hopefully that makes sense.
@@ledguerrilla3170 regardless it’s still silly and demonstrates simple mindedness to the reality of human history and existence aswell as a prime example of manufactured weak modern mindset you attempting to explain someone’s stupid wording of something simple displeased me
@@snafuperman The book that was discredited by multiple academics and used flawed ways of measuring intelligence (like giving people tests in a language they couldn’t speak) to try and push scientific racism? That book?
This definitely needs a sequel because as phenomenal as it is I feel the final emphasis needs to include how, as others have pointed out, racism in the north is also very key to the psychology itself and the final “greater good” thought is yet underlying American “virtues,” racism, that is-in and for itself, so to speak.
The further down this rabbit hole i go down the more sickening this becomes to me, Im angry that no one has taught us this and I have to go seek this more myself.
We were dehumanized so much. And people think that we’re sensitive about our image when it was tarnished from the beginning. I mean how could anyone think that we’re overreacting about anything when this is what like was like for us barely 70 years ago. And there’s still people who think this shit.
All over social media like Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, tiktok and even here on RUclips, there's extreme anti black american sentiment. Even from Africans and POC
@@sageex3931 No he's anti white. If he talked about actual History he'd talk about Irish Slavery or the Barbary Slaves. Not single mindedly focus on Anti white narrative as the source of Slavery.
This truly is one of those topics where knowledge of history is essential. Today we are stuck in debates that, while comparatively watered down in rhetoric, are eerily comparable to ones from more than a century ago. When we look at them today, it’s easy to minimize things. It’s easy to think claims of racism are coming out of a vacuum. It’s easy to use more palatable language to speak of the same assumptions of inferiority or danger about blacks. To think criticism of stereotypical imagery is unwarranted. It all seems to come a bit out of nowhere. Like some kind of little current debate of this time. But when we look at the history, how far we’ve come, and the mechanisms behind these patterns… the light is indeed very different. This is not new at all. It’s always been this way.
I agree. My comment was: How is it that the plight of native born American Black people specifically "bad darkies" is not recognized for the genocide that it is? " Bad darkies," definitively those that are not beholden to their designated mental place in our American capitalist construct are the target of, point for point, the very definition of genocide. Of course the Black Boule and all of its many manifestations "the good darkies" play their part to maintain the status quo. They notoriously speak out about the injustice while advocating acceptance of it.......
Where in Earth was history abt better and not filled with violence and hatred? Why is the United States held to such a exclusive lens in the realm of oppression and racism? These things are components of human nature that span globally across the history of every nation that was ever conceived. Maybe it’s the fact that you hold America to higher, exclusive standards, Shirley the subconscious truth that the United States is a great country, not without many problems, but this is the nature of everything.
@@calundoconteal6851 True, and there were and are always consequences to those injustices....Now that we know better we have an obligation to do better.
It’s ignorance. That’s the reason why people are like this. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of “we’re good, they’re bad, therefore it’s okay to hate and kill.” The only good people are ones that learn, get experienced or have the fortune to recognize that they are wrong. The lesson here is that we’re not immune to evil. If we were born as a certain race at a certain time, we would be just like them, the lynchers. For me my family was a little bit racism. I was extremely patriotic as a young kid. I once viewed muslims as terrorists and killers. It wasn’t until I befriended muslims that I realized how wrong we were. And pulling out of Afghanistan made me realize how shitty America was. Befriending other races made me realize just how evil and rampant ignorance goes. I was given the priviledge and opportunity to change my ways. I was given a chance to redeem myself away from my family’s ignorance. We must teach the younger generations how wrong and how easily they can fall with racism.
This history should not be forget and should be studied for generations to come. Not for hatred, punishment or to blame anyone but to learn to not repeat it and to love each other
This is what it means to be "woke". To be aware of what has happened and what is happening to disenfranchised people. The far right in America are trying to bastardize "wokeness" so they can avoid people learning about these atricities in the past. What is ignored in history could happen again, and it's scary telling how the right wing want these atrocities to happen again today to black people... to ALL people who are not white, heterosexual, cis-gender, wealthy Chrisitans.
This is painful to watch, to force myself to not look away. But it’s so important for all, (especially kids!) to watch and absorb. In my opinion, this sickness is a response to the internal guilt of the perpetrators, and projection of said guilt. These people knew very well they were a living evil. It’s a thing that’s always sickened, and troubled me, since childhood.
My dad remembers going to a family function, as a party favor they were giving out licorice shaped like grapes, and calling them "n*gg*r toes". He remembers that giving him a really bad feeling. I'm so glad he always knew it was wrong. He is 66 now, that wasn't long ago...
My father used the same term for Brazil nuts. He was born in 1936 in New Hampshire, and he used this term even in the 70's and 80's. It wasn't just a southern thing and it wasn't just way back in the 1800's and early 1900's. It still happens today and everywhere.
But did he tell them it was wrong. These family members have children of their own. Guests what their being taught, so they can grow up to be big, strong and Healthy Racists. To us black people it's a case of here we go again.
What they called Brazil nuts too. Co-worker brought that up...I told her...you know they have white apes. Because she added that. Brought up on Racsist side of CO. I'm pretty sure it all was then.

My father was born in 1914, my mother in 1916 and my paternal grandmother in 1900, Lived grew up in these horrific times a very dangerous time for blacks, It traumatized them to an extent, If I'm being honest nothing has truly changed when it comes to race relations throughout the world.
Also it wasn't really abated but Jim Crow took new forms. It became less physically violent and more financially and politically violent by depriving Black society the same access and rights as white society. None of this has truly been rectified. It's largely been ignored and there are efforts to erase it from the national memory altogether. Black people are owed reparations for slavery and Jim Crow among a number of other things because these phenomena have set black people back politically and financially to an excruciating degree.

@@TrueNativeScot You say this under a video that talks about people violently murdering and mistreating black people yet, you call them the animals? You will continue to be miserable until you fundamentally change who you are as a person
What's missing is the economic deprivation and impact on Black people not only through racial terrorism, theft of land and wealth but by denial of the right to fully participate in society. Reparations is the debt owed for more than just unpaid labor as the film demonstrates.
I'm glad there are videos like this on RUclips because this is a conversation needed within society but more importantly within the education system especially as topics like this are being whitewashed or outright banned in schools.
I learned how to lie about slaves, what they do and where they are in places marketed as schools. My slaves are often kept from me so I dont ruin the flow of their act.
And it has also been the longtime unofficial 'role' of southern Black folks to be someone that whites, especiallly the poor ones, could always look down on, no matter one's own lowly station in life. And this unspoken social 'hierarchy' becomes even more important in a stratified Southern culture, that chose to go to war rather than change the 'system'.
We learned about it in Virginia. But not the number, just that it was a lot. We also had the capital of the confederacy so…. But you know what? Virginia is still a ve try cool state and all people are always growing and learning and getting better
Humans scare me. Even somehow removing the racist element of all this- how these people even had the stomach to do what they did, let alone to human beings is really shocking.
Yes. You are so right. Humans are capable of wonderful creativity ( think Shakespeare) and the most disgusting unimaginable savagery ( think many more, unfortunately... the instigators and the millions of followers )

We do not seek punishment, as that ship has sailed long ago.

There's a bias in American history with the lynching of BM period. A vast majority of BM lynched were not BM involved with WW but BM who achieved economic success. How BM were lynched was something similar to Black Wall Street. American history completely omits that there were many black cities and towns like Tulsa that were very economically successful and independent. One by one they were all massacred. There's a saying never get your history from the people who oppressed you.
m Johnson, well said.
I went through a bunch of incidents of lynching, and honestly, economic success seems like it would vaguely reasonable, if evil, compared to the frequent reality.
Crime is committed, nearest black man apprehended and killed, case closed.
The even more fucked up part is that loads of pedophiles got away with brutal rapes and murders because they’d just pin it on the nearest black man.

Tiffany, what angers me to the same degree as this horrible history itself, is the amount of negroes intellectuals who sit around spinning, rationalizing or mitigating these historical facts attempting to sanitize it and make it seems to be something other than what actually is. Candace Owens, for example, will tell us not to make a big deal of it because "it was *only* a total of 122 black people that were lynched." Where from or how she came up with that exact number? But even if it was just one lynch it was one lynch too many. And paradoxically--though not surprising--the most vociferous group of people pushing back against the mere idea of *Reparation* happens to be these negroes! This is insurmountably unsettling to me.

Well said.The history of american slavery is too horrific for most adults to wrap their heads around. But all the racist colonial thinking and propaganda that made it possible are still alive and well in the u.s. today. So public schools have to actually tell kids what happened and what is happening.

Full disclosure, I'm a historian. Overall, this is a very good video, but it makes it sound as if this was a Southern problem alone. While the South was the bastion of hard-core racism, the Klan was very active in the North. There's an image if the Klan in this video in which banners proclaiming that this is the Muncie, Illinois chapter are prominently displayed.
Very well said
In my view, its kind of an European problem. The Roman Empire - European colonialism - Hitlers fight for «lebensraum» - US world Empire. Its the mind of «I know best, I am strongest, I have rights». US once attacked black freedomfighters. Today China and any country opposing US capitalism are attacked. Due to propaganda, most americans today support a war with China, just like they once supported slavery. Nothing really change.... it just mooves to another place.
The historian Whitman recently made this same important observation about how nationwide (that us, far from exclusively Southern) US racism went in the Jim Crow period, it's in his 2017 book *Hitler's American Model: the United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law.* Thank you for the video.
there was a human zoo in new york or something i think. there was probably only a handful of humans from european decent who werent racist in those days. it was as normal as breathing air to them back then..
My father's father was a flaming racist...and a native of Columbus, Ohio. So, definitely not a purely Southern thing.
My mother was a Southern WASP who grew up in a small town in the Ozarks in the 30's. Though very intelligent and college educated, she was very bigoted. For some reason she was able to rationalize marrying my dad, who was half Filipino and half Jewish! Anyway, he told me that when they moved to California in the '60, they went to a department store where my mom was helped by a black saleswoman. My dad came up to find my mom literally frozen in place with horror, her arms extended and her mouth hanging open. He was so embarrassed that he grabbed her by the hand and dragged her away, later telling her to grow up and never do that again. When I was a child, she would nostalgically talk about how black people "really knew their place" in her home town. The odd thing was that my grandmother, who was born in 1897 and also a Southerner, was not bigoted! She told me that a person's character, and not their skin color, was what mattered. There's one more part of the story- though she chose to marry my dad, she seemed openly disappointed that I, who was part Filipino and Jewish, didn't look European. Especially when in my teens my hair became very curly and frizzy, probably taking after my Jewish and Filipino tribal anscestors. She said in tones of horror that I looked like "a native" and forced me to get my long hair cut and use hair straightener. When I left home I never cut it again in honor of my anscestors, and now at 62 I can practically sit on it. My boyfriend loves my "ethnic" hair.
It made sense when you said Ozarks. That area is racist af. Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado... All that shit is racist af. My wife's mom has a lake house in the Ozarks. I don't fuck with her and she don't fuck with me. I don't fuck with her bc she's not a good person. She don't fuck with me bc I'm black. Of I was the same guy in YT skin, she would LOVE me😂 Oh well🤷🏾♂️

@@jorma8785that's an interesting question.
My own grandmother was like the OP's mom... she told me once about her favorite maid, "She was my favorite because she knew her place." Even as a child it disgusted me that she would WANT someone to be... _performatively subservient_ to her. To me it was just grotesque in general, but even moreso because for her in that time and place, her maids were so _easy_ to treat that way.
I think oftentimes these are malignant narcissists, and racism is perfect for them because skin color (and systemic racism) make racism just so damn _convenient._
Jewish ? Hmmm
@@suzbone I also think racism and narcissims have a correlation because you would think that a persons own moral compass and ethics would tell you that no human is superior to an other. But i also think that older generations just were wrongly educated and actually believed in the ”scientific and biological proof” that support racist ideology.
My dad has personal experience with the concept of racial purity. His father was from Mississippi, and his uncles were clansmen down there. When you brought up the anecdote of the white boy sharing an apple with a black boy it reminded me of this story my dad told me about a friend he had in his neighborhood who was black, and that he would share food with him all the time thinking nothing of it. Well, it wasn’t an issue because his dad wouldn’t be home from work at least. One day his dad got home early and saw my dad sharing an ice cream cone with the boy, and naturally my dad unfortunately got beat because of that. All because of an ice cream cone. Thankfully this attitude had the opposite affect his dad wanted it to.
It really goes to show how hatred and tribalism are often times a learned behavior rather than an "ingrained" belief.

This is historical. It was routine for them to leave black people (even babies) in burning buildings. They would turn around and act like they didn't hear the crying. This still rarely happens today also.
Originally "woke" meant exactly that - being aware of societal issues. It was coined by black people only to be taken over by the people who don't want to see any issues in current society. Racial or otherwise

I agree
i grew up as a minority in a mostly white school. this really shaped my perspective when learning about the jim crow and civil rights eras in 2nd grade, although i am not black. as a child, i had no mature concept of race, but i did experience being treated differently whether during art projects or kids pointing out how i was different than them. it drove me mad. how could humans do this to each other? i thought as i paced back and forth with immense anxiety in the hallways of my school in 4th grade during a video on mlkj's childhood. how can my teacher just speak so nonchalantly about such horrific events? i tried to wait until the video was over to go back because i knew if i went back in, i would just be haunted by the white faces in the room that robotically stared at the screen like it was nothing. this was in like, 2004. i had many nightmares, and was tortured by not the ideology itself, but by the reactions of people. i avoided literally anything about race. including movies and tv shows that played during black history month. one time my sister was watching one and i covered my ears in another room the entire episode. it ultimately led to my self hatred in middle and high school, where i actively ignored, ran away from, and avoided any poc who came to me. my parents are white, so its not like i could talk to them about it, as i was even a minority in my own family. i just feel like if i had someone to sit me down and expand on whitewashed versions of the history i learned, it would've helped alleviate some of the trauma. now as an adult, i actively do the opposite of what i did as a child. i actively search for information about race, i openly discuss it with people, and i strive to educate others about it. the reason i did a 360 is simple. i met and befriended other people of color and talked about my experiences, and representation became better in media. without the exposure and representation i gained i would've stayed the naive child i always was. without moving away from my childhood town, i would've probably been destroyed by trauma. white people here in the midwest hate talking about race and thats why theyre so ignorant about it. but it doesnt affect them because they are the winners in that history, so they ultimately dont care. this leads to black and indigenous people that live here to accept lies about their own history. i accepted many lies of my own history as well. if white people were open to talking about it more, they would learn so much. i majored in sociology and anthropology because learning about the theoretical frameworks of race in academic terms positions the topic in social context, rather than centered in my emotions. now the "edge" of fear that existed is gone and i have a more complex understanding of why society accepts these things.
I feel like your story shapes the other end of my experience as a white person. I live in Switzerland and my father is a racist and a far right conservative. I grew up very sheltered from the realities of slavery and racism, because we were told that it has happened in the past, black people were liberated over 100 years ago and have no reason to still struggle with unstable governments. The first time I had a black classmate was when I was 13, and because I was someone who was raised in an abusive household and only got a disgnosis for her ADHD after moving out, I was the weird girl in the class, though not the ugly one (but that in a way paved the way for people to think this girl looks nice she is probably normal and not a neurodivergent abused mess) so the circumstances led more to the black girl targeting me, because she was actually quite populat in our classroom. I never connected that she maybe did that because picking another target would maybe get people off her back, but I can only speculate that that was likely the case.
So the thing is that, because I was sk sheltered I literally thought that racism was done with. Society has moved on and we trest everyone the same, and for that reason, I feel like I didn't actually think there is a difference between white and black people. I don't recognize colour as an important factor to a person, because what matters more is the story of their life that made them. That ignorance is a bliss in that sense. I definitely have some internalised racism in me aswell from that, that I even to this day have yet to discover and put into perspective.
What changed my course was, when my sister decided to work in Ghana as a teacher for half a year and returned to tell us just how beautiful the place is and she fell in love with the country. In order to keep up with her, I also had to start reading about the place and I one day decided to visit Ghana with her, while I simultaneously decided to read a history magazine (Geo Epoche, it's german and I wish it had english versions for me to share with people). The introduction reads that we nowadays look at Africa as a puzzling place, we do know that slavery happened, but we struggle to explain how they still struggle with corruption, finances, systems etc. this magazine tries to read explore the history of the traumatised continent that is Africa.
So during my journey through Ghana, I met just so many kind people and read the first pages sbout the colourful cultures in Africa, and I was happy to also see that represented in my surroundings. Then they started zooming in on the first people that arrived and struggled to even make it far into the land, and how people died from disesases and the heat. It took europeans a long time to actually "arrive".
At this point My sister urged me to go to the Elmina castle, which is a former "goldmine" of the portugese, but became a slavery marketplace, and a guide explained how over the span of 400 years, people went from trading gold and other goods, to selling slaves snd then tried to make that profitable, and eventually make it so efficient that they kept people in tiny spaces, gave them the minimum amount of food snd water and shipped them like animals across the waters to be sold for profit. The process of robbing the black person of their humanity took us white people several years, each generation was out to do more efficient trades and make more profit than the last one.
I really came out of this place so hit by reality and disgusted with my own rationalising of the past and how I was not even the worst person I have met, that was justifying such a past.
I was outside of the castle still meeting people that were all just so kind and I was just thinking "how can you be so nice, when you know what the people of my colour have done to you? How are you still so willing to give me a chance when you have every reason to act like we're horrible people and go ahead to avoid us like a plague to protect yourselves?" I continued my read in the magazine about priests that bragged about converting people or slaughtering them, and I met people in Ghana still that shared their own wisdom with me, taught me how to do things and it just made me realize a cognitive dissonance in everything around me and in me. I sometimes wish I could have remained ignorant because I can no longer pretend all is fine. We spent 400 years traumatising and exploiting a full continent, and even to this day are not interested in returning any of the goods or even apologise for what we did. On top of it all, our media still presents Africa as a place of poverty so little of significance we forget it's a continent at all, and while treating people of colour the way we do.
I am sorry for it all.
On another note, I have to say that I myself am not white as I said in the beginning. I'm actually half taiwanese because my dad is the type that went to work in asia 40 years ago and married a taiwanese woman and I and my older sister are a product of that.
But I look white and I was raised white. The abuse I experienced by that man is mirrored by how he treats my mother.
It would be easy to pretend history away...go back to act like colour does not matter, but it does, nor because I think less of people of colour (really my experience was shaped my how all were mostly kind and fun, despite the history both of us carry), but by realizing what my colour says about me.
It says that you have reason to be scared that I will use it as an advantsge, that I in society people treat me differently from you.
I will try for my lifetime to make up for the things we have done, but I will live for 60+ years and it will never be anything compated to400 years of several people being lost in that genocide.
I want to apologise for what was, and say that I admire how people were willing to forgive and give us a chance to oftentimes prove that racism still exists. I don't know if I could be so forgiving.
@@corneliahanimann2173 young lady, I can appreciate your journey and the fact that you've recently discovered a reality that was both amazing and terrifying at the same time. I'm a black american who was raised in a middle-class household, both parents whom are still married, two brothers and one sister, and countless neighbors and friends in my early childhood. I went to school with mostly white students, and had many white friends. Race issues were not evident to me until several of my black associates, including cousins and schoolmates, ridiculed me of "talking white," because my father and mother ensured that our vocabulary was advanced and polished enough to be able to have conversations and interactions "from the executive office to the gutter," as my father so profoundly put it. Being ridiculed by so-called "my people" caused me to grow resentment, among other factors I had no control of. I never had a big circle of friends, and the ones I had were white and black. As I grew older and experienced life, I found that there are so many people who are so emotionally charged and driven, that logic has no place in their experiences. I've been called the n-word by blacks, whites, latinos, and asians. I've taken the sting out of that word because the meaning is dumb or foolish, so the persona of the word as characterized by those driven to direct it at me because of their emotions doesn't cause me any level of harm or concern. A few times, I've laughed and called them the n-word in return, and was amused by the look of shock on their faces... but the self control to rise above the insignificant and ignorant things is something I consider a gift. A wise person told me "choose your battles CAREFULLY; life's full of them as it is..." I charge you, Ms. Cornelia Hanimann, to wean yourself off of feeling any sense of responsibility, sorrow, or remorse for the crimes against humanity and atrocities committed against blacks as a whole, and instead, do your best to make as positive an impact on as many lives as you encounter. The only life you can control is yours, but the power you have to positively influence and impact those around you can be as immense as you wish! I wish you and your sister success, peace, and longevity!
What a Beautiful person you seem to be. In Malcolm X's autobiography, he mentions speaking at college and after his speech, a young college girl came up to him and said she was soo sorry about slavery. She was white. He said she asked him what SHE could do to help matters. He said he saw the sincerity in her. He said it was one of the few times that he was rendered speechless. After a few minutes, he told her to just try to help people when she could. After that he went to Mecca and saw people of ALL colors shapes and sizes praying to the SAME GOD! He realized then that just like MLK. said(people should be judged by CHARACTER and Not skin color. He realized that the Devil comes in ALeeL colors shapes and sizes! YOU are not to blame for History. YOU were not THERE! Let's maybe just try to help the best that we can, RIGHT NOW! IT kind of makes me sad to think that OTHER people feel as you felt. Someone keeps bringing this OLD STUFF UP! Some SAD ass people that try to manipulate people by using GUILT! F THEM! I am a BLACK man. Best of ALL to YOU!
Ps: The first man to sell a black man was ANOTHER black man, the first man to sell a white man was ANOTHER White man. First murder? A man killed his own brother. To me, not much has changed. It's just www. Cain and Abel. com. That's ALL.

My roommate in college was a white supremacist from the south. I’m personally Indian American, having grown up exclusively in the north east. And until I lived with her, I truly did not know how alive racism true and fully was in this country. This history isn’t taught and I remember how she would behave if she saw a person of color walk her way. She would ban me from speaking to my parents in our room as I often would speak a mix of Hindi, Tamil and English, foreign tongues that bothered her. She banned me from bringing my friends (many of whom were nonwhite) as she was afraid they’d “dirty the place”. She’d rant and rave over affirmative action, over feeling unsafe passing black classmates in the engineering department. And I remember one day, I opened up to someone about her treatment, how she would force me to clean after her as “that’s what you people do”, how she would kick me out for engaging with my culture, or my friends, or doing anything that disturbed her sensitivities, about how she used to call different revolutionary figures dirty names, and how this girl used to throw her underwear at me when drunk because I should be cleaning after her… well one of her friends on campus found out and told her. That’s when my true nightmare began.
She began a campaign of trying to get me kicked out of the dorm for informing on her. She lied that I threatened her and was scary and aggressive (she had physically pushed me at a point to where I dislocated my shoulder… who was the aggressor here?). And her family came from money in the south. With a $100K check, I was made to lose my dorm room and for 3 months, I slept on people’s floors until my university realized I was building bad press against them and was finally given a room. In those months, I’d starved, been hungry, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t focus. All I did was try to survive.
White supremacy never died. It never ended. They will never learn because they see the rest of us as nothing.
@Dude_of_the_twel-sevent_order my parents are both Indian (from India, they’re us citizens) but I was born and raised in the us hence I’m an Indian American (that is my racial classification).
Matthew 25:31-46 NKJV
[31] “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. [32] All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. [33] And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. [34] Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: [35] for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; [36] I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ [37] “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? [38] When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? [39] Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ [40] And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ [41] “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: [42] for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; [43] I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ [44] “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ [45] Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ [46] And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

That hate for sure still exists in the descendants of these people. It is not possible for that to be completely gone in less than a couple generations.
Especially, when they refuse to acknowledge that it even exists.
I agree, people have to raise the youth to not follow that way of thinking. Otherwise they just pass down hatred.
And some white people hate racism and injustice with all their might.
Hate comes in many forms, racism is only one of them. Using resentment against, or demonizing, a particular group of humanity can turn out badly, please see history: Jews, Catholics, Muslims, etc…
@@elainehiggins713 / and Ukrainians !
I'm still early in the vid, but I want to make one correction: the 13 Admendment don't completely abolish slavery. It still allows forced labor in the prison system, which has been a form of slavery used for decades since the 13th amendment
Correct. If a person has been convicted by a court of law and is imprisoned for a term of years to a prison, the 13th amendment permits the prison to use the prisoner's labor without paying him. Some states, like CA, pay their prisoners who labor a nominal wage. Others, like AL - do not.
Slavery is not one thing. I could argue that wage slaves are in fact slaves, or that inmates in AL are slaves, but frankly - neither of those examples rise to the level of inhumanity found in 19th century American chattel slavery.
@@romanmanner
You might want to look into the convict leasing system, if you haven't. It was used to take the place of chattel slavery, to a degree.☹️

Democrats have been actively engaged in an ethnic cleansing and genocide of the black community for ages. They enslaved the black man for decades, they created the KKK to terrorize and coerce the black community into submission, wrote/passed/enforced racist Jim Crow laws to segregate, prejudice, persecute and dehumanize the black community for additional decades, lynched both black and white Republicans for helping black people to obtain their rights, HEAVILY resisted the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960s, passed the Open Society Act which destroyed the black family pimping black women into welfare dependent baby-mommas and then passed racist drug laws throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The racist white supremacist Democrat KKK slave master party has decimated the black community and has shoved satanic and demonic ideologies down the throats of the black man and woman such as the victim complex which seeks to make black men and women into dumbed-down, lazy, dependent, ignorant, ungrateful substandard to mediocre voting slaves and the gender confusion of the transgender cabal. All of which is designed to keep black people from excelling and achieving their goals and dreams and creating godly, Christ-like families. The Democrats have turned black people into hateful, vengeful radical activists to destroy the American population. The democrats have no room or moral authority to advocate for a racial community that they are guilty of erasing by encouraging and legalizing the abortions of 30 million unborn black babies. The black community has stagnated at 13% of the American population for decades due to such radical and racist policies. It is literally in the Democrat DNA to enslave and subjugate the black man and woman, reversely it is in the Republican DNA to liberate and magnify the black community.
This level of detail about slavery and racism isn't taught in school. The truth is, they don't want slavery mentioned.

Instead of trying to sincerely and honestly repent of their political, civil and moral sins, they are trying to use ungodly, satanic and demonic ideologies to sweep their filth, their cobwebs and skeletons under the carpet. Instead of making a contrite and substantial apology for their inhumane treatment of minorities, offering to make restitution out of the Democrat party's coffers and political funds for slave reparations, coming to terms with the fact that their party's brand has such a notorious stain to the point of disbanding and dissolving altogether and to make and keep promises to root out racism, they push this bullshit marxist critical race theory to the point where it further divides the American population. Innocent, non-racist Republicans and Independents have no need to allow crt in their lives and in the lives of their children. Godly repentance is sufficient for Republicans and Independents to root out sin wherever it is found in their hearts and minds, not satanic forms of mind and behavioral control mechanisms. The racist leftist Democrat jackass party has a long way in trying to salvage their evil reputation as slave masters and tyrannical dictators. One of the best ways to build up the black community is to get a divorce from the racist Democrat jackass party. Trillions of dollars and decades of a sick allegiance to the Democrats have done absolute damage and destruction to the black community. After all that the Republicans have done to liberate the black man and woman from the vile clutches of the racist Democrat jackass party and for the black community to swear allegiance to their prior slave masters is just sick and wrong. I don't care if you all go join a third party or go back to the Republican party, you must divorce the Democrats who have done nothing for you all but ride you for votes and money. The Democrats have done nothing but keep you all in their inner city plantations and abuse you physically, emotionally, mentally, economically, electorally and spiritually.

It's the kids books that get me. You can't blame a kid for what they're taught. But once they're an adult, they become responsible for those beliefs. What's worse tho, is that it's really REALLY hard to unlearn what you were taught as a child, especially things that were so normal that they were in books and toys.

There is a mindset in the U.S. that is older than the U.S. A culture of white supremacy, handed down through the generations. If anyone thought that a war, or law, or anything else would change their minds, their values and way of operating, even after centuries, they have been naive. Now we have a movement to wipe out any of this historic information of injustice in schools...can you guess who spearheads this movement? The generations that have been taught that their white supremacy supersedes all laws, rights, study, and even the words of the savior they worship, that is who. They will tell you proudly that they are backwards, will never learn anything new, and will never change their "values".
White supremacy in America won't end for good until they're all rooted out and taken care of. It sounds brutal but it's the only way. They don't want to co-exist with those they feel are interior than they are.

I met a girl who saw the lynching that took place in the small coastal town of Bahia, Brazil. The population invaded the prison and dragged through the streets of the city two prisoners who had killed a couple. The two prisoners were beaten and burned alive. The girl was 10 years old and ran away from home to go see what was going on. In the months that followed, the girl started having nightmares and reliving the scenes of ultra violence she witnessed. Whenever the mother did laundry, the girl would become extremely depressed and cry. With delicacy and care, the mother discovered that when smelling the coconut soap she used to wash clothes, the girl immediately remembered the smell of the poor guys burning. This happened many years ago. But I assume that girl will carry the trauma her whole life. Ultra violence deeply marks the victim, curses the perpetrator by forcing him to live intimately with a criminal and traumatizes those who witness it. This does not fail to occur even when the violence is racially or religiously motivated.

@@amorosogombe9650 does that justify what happened
Even at my ripe ole age of 49, I continue to be perplexed over the fact that someone can actually hate someone simply over the color of their skin or racial classification. I am even more baffled on how people of other races who live or have immigrated to America often share the same nasty viewpoints about Black people without having met a single Black person. Personally, I have encountered more racist people who identify as Hispanic and to a lesser degree Asians than Whites which to me means that the powers that be did a good job conditioning POC to hate each other in order to take the attention off of their own "fuckery".
We are still negatively sterotyped and hated in 2022 regardless to how hard many of us are actually trying to educate ourselves for gainful employment and financial stability. Let one Black person commit a crime and here comes all the racist comments. Let one White person mass shoot and kill, the comment sections get awfully quiet or here comes the "mental illness" excuses.
I mean....they could have just sent our ancestors back to Africa after slavery was abolished since we weren't wanted here.
I do not expect nor want any White person to apologize for what some Whites have and continue to do because of their hatred towards any/all POC and for the record... I do not hate White people. Simply acknowledge the truths being presented and how these atrocities have negatively impacted the Black community AND maybe...just maybe though not in my time, our descendants will do better as human beings.
FYI, if u haven't noticed Latino and Asian racial/ethnic communities are very anti-dark skin + mainstream Hip Hop culture and constant Western media depictions of black people haven't helped portray black people in a positive light.

Reread the paragraph where he talks about even latino and Asian communities are racist against black people showing how deep this indoctrination goes to have what is considered "minorities" fighting against themselves.

You have to stop and wonder why is it that as time goes and blacks advance why more negative portrayals are given also with this industry we have to look at conditioning much as what is being offered in this video when we are lead to believe this is the only way we can be successful then what do we do. Its all conditioning and decades of it all part of the design. We don't have to follow along however that very indoctrination is what is making us go along. It's deep and crazy

For the crimes they've committed maybe they should plead insanity,because no ordinary persons could commit these hateful deeds.
The Sam Hose events actually happened in my hometown, on my high school's campus where the Cranford home used to be. I just did a project for it for my AP Lang class, and let me tell you it is just as gruesome as described in the video. Events like these are so crazy and seem so fictional, it's absolutely unreal until you realize what horrific events had happened right over where you might be eating lunch. We even have a rumor that if you're at school early enough Sunday in the morning, you can smell eggs and bacon being cooked by the maid.
I go to Northgate currently!! I only recently found out abt this from my teacher at CeC and I’ve heard the rumors but never knew the story of Sam Hose or the graveyard till recently. Its so weird to think of all the coverups they do down here around racism because of stupidity from parents.
Here in northern Delaware, there was a similar incident in 1902 in a Wilmington locale called "Prices Corner." Today it is simply the location of a small shopping center, and many probably do not know of the horrible crime that took place on that very same area of land. I stumbled across the story in a small-circulation booklet I found in a local library. It was horrifying.
Are the identities known of the people who lynched Sam Hose?

Being from the Delta in North Eastern Arkansas, my siblings and I grew up around people who genuinely believed these awful tropes and said truly awful things about others based solely on the color of their skin.
They used the “n-word” to describe people who they believed to be trashy or disgusting. I remember hearing it mostly behind closed doors or in the car on the way to family events. It genuinely traumatized me. I found myself wishing I’d never heard the word to begin with.
But, unfortunately in those parts it is still too common.
You can still see the impacts of redlining in the town I grew up in and how some parts of Arkansas just froze in time. Some towns haven’t changed in over a century as they slowly fade out of existence as the residents die and the weeds take back the foundations of houses and honeysuckles cover old gas pumps outside of dilapidated gas stations.
And if you listen to these republicans in the south- you can tell racism is still very much alive and well.
Those children grew up and now make the laws and because it was comfortable for them to be discriminatory towards people of color they are trying to instill it into law so future generations can carry the torch of hatred for them.
I said “to hell with that” and got out of there in 2011.
And it still feels like going to a different country.
Stay strong even if it feels like the bad guys are winning.
Enough of us understand that we need to combat racism and bigotry. It’s easier said than done- we just have to work to educate others and not shy away from history even if it makes us uncomfortable.
We can’t change the past- but, we can address the problems and fix them so we don’t have to relive the past.
I applaud you for leaving. I moved to NLR in summer of 81 with my parents at age 13 from a suburb of Washington DC. I had never seen or heard such racism or such poverty. We went to White Hall first and were so horrified we went to NLR. My dad worked at NCTR near Pine Bluff. I got married age 18 and left age 21 going as far north as we could. AR is a horrible place and the people are so deceptive with their sugar sweet words and evil hate just under the surface. I'd never seen such evil.
Nicely put. Must take issue with your assertion that Republicans are somehow traditionally more racist.
The Klan evolved from the Democrats and Democrats have a long history of hatred towards Black Americans.
Malcom X description of White Liberal encounters he experienced are very telling.
We are going to need each other over as this world desends into chaos
My dad was from that area and although he never said the n-word infront of me, he would often talk about how black men were evil and inferior to the white men
So hard to believe people felt this way and just knowing like this wasn't really it that long ago as much as people want to make it seem like it was. It's so hard to have faith in people sometimes. I am grateful to those who have migrated and or survived long enough for me to exist. Sometimes I don't see the point of existing but I'm grateful I guess
I'm not even close to retirement age. I saw a RUclips compilation of 'banned racist cartoons'. I remember seeing most of them on broadcast TV as a child. It wasn't socially inappropriate to call someone a n****r in public until I was in high school. I grew up in the north btw. The story of how my father ended up in the north involves my grandfather being murdered for his land in Alabama.

No, it wasn't long ago at all. My parents lived under these conditions during Jim Crow. They are both still very much alive. So, some of the people who believe things should still be this way are also alive. And taught their children to feel this way, too.
I always think how many times people look at photos thinking how they miss some sweet grandparent, and that grand parent absolutely was a willing person in this horrible torture of fellow humans. These people committed these horrific acts and nobody was every really held responsible.
This was not that long ago…for context, my wife’s grandfather was born in 1937 and grew up in the south, and he was raised by his parents with all of this in mind with every decision they made. It’s exhausting to think about so imagine what they went through.
Obviously a very well-made video, but two things are missing: first, there's no mention of Girard or mimetic theory, which in my view are essential for understanding lynching; second, it was not mentioned that lynching didn't end but simply changed form. Now it's assigned to police, who murder black people on camera for the enjoyment of millions. In addition, Americans are able to fulfill their need for racial scapegoats through US terrorism around the world, communicated to us in vivid color by modern technology.
I think cops nowadays had rather not be caught on camera lynching a black man...
Girard's mimetic theory is flawed. It's the basic 'keeping up w/the Jonese'. Food, water and shelter are necessities, lynchings are optional. Western Europeans subscribe to Abrahamic traditions of biblical blood lust and genocidal tendencies. Burning people at the stake for hearsay was Christian. Judaism has Moses' genocidal rage and Noah's curse of generational servitude. Every white supremacist collective founds themselves on their interpretations of those religious texts. Through that lens, lynchings was viewed as a moral entitlement. That's demonstrated in the fact that many lynchings occurred as an after church event.
Eye opening comment, my friend. My jaw dropped and has yet to be picked back up
The police killings are only a part of it. One major shift is that the vigilante violence, which used to take the form of public lynchings, now is done largely out of camera range and isn't limited to killing black people.
The reorganization of white supremacists has been a slow process, as has been the forging of clandestine links with conservative politicians, with conservative evangelicals and yes, with members of the police in various states. Today's white supremacists are fully aware of the various tactics fascists used to take over Germany and various South and Central American countries. They know what to keep out of public view.
Although I'm sure the armed forces have also been infiltrated I haven't yet seen any indication that the upper ranks have been compromised, but with another president like Trump that may not matter.
I'm convinced that what's been going on in Texas and Florida is a part of it. Fascism can switch its targets as needed. It's not just limiting access to abortion or counseling for gay and trans kids, it's keeping medical care under draconian control and severely limiting access period. Same with the education bills. If it fails they will never admit what they were doing. They were just protecting the children and "the BAYBEES" (i.e. fetuses). So-called Gender critical feminists will try to claim that they were against both, I'm sure.

When you look at every human person and you understand the infinite beauty of their capability to have a conscience-- to think, love, grow, compromise, to be rational-- you could find it almost disrespectful to call what happened to these people mere murders. But of course, these are murders brought about via the action of lynching, and the description could just end there. Just calling it a murder can give the same amount of sting to the reality of the situation, but some people may prefer a more complex description that would suit their own understanding. It would be like comparing two students who both got the correct answer for a question where one showed his work while the other did not. Yet there wouldn't be a penalty for showing or not showing the steps; getting the correct answer is worth all the points. Hopefully that makes sense.

I’m not gonna lie, when I first heard of Jim Crow, I thought it was the name of an actual person.
It is the name of an actual person. Jim Crow was a cop who "sacrificed" himself to protect a child against a black person

@NightytimeExtras Retold as a Blood Libel Against whites
This truly is one of those topics where knowledge of history is essential. Today we are stuck in debates that, while comparatively watered down in rhetoric, are eerily comparable to ones from more than a century ago. When we look at them today, it’s easy to minimize things. It’s easy to think claims of racism are coming out of a vacuum. It’s easy to use more palatable language to speak of the same assumptions of inferiority or danger about blacks. To think criticism of stereotypical imagery is unwarranted. It all seems to come a bit out of nowhere. Like some kind of little current debate of this time.
But when we look at the history, how far we’ve come, and the mechanisms behind these patterns… the light is indeed very different. This is not new at all. It’s always been this way.
I agree. My comment was: How is it that the plight of native born American Black people specifically "bad darkies" is not recognized for the genocide that it is? " Bad darkies," definitively those that are not beholden to their designated mental place in our American capitalist construct are the target of, point for point, the very definition of genocide. Of course the Black Boule and all of its many manifestations "the good darkies" play their part to maintain the status quo. They notoriously speak out about the injustice while advocating acceptance of it.......
Where in Earth was history abt better and not filled with violence and hatred? Why is the United States held to such a exclusive lens in the realm of oppression and racism? These things are components of human nature that span globally across the history of every nation that was ever conceived.

It’s ignorance. That’s the reason why people are like this.
It’s so easy to fall into the trap of “we’re good, they’re bad, therefore it’s okay to hate and kill.”
The only good people are ones that learn, get experienced or have the fortune to recognize that they are wrong.
The lesson here is that we’re not immune to evil. If we were born as a certain race at a certain time, we would be just like them, the lynchers.
For me my family was a little bit racism. I was extremely patriotic as a young kid. I once viewed muslims as terrorists and killers.
It wasn’t until I befriended muslims that I realized how wrong we were. And pulling out of Afghanistan made me realize how shitty America was. Befriending other races made me realize just how evil and rampant ignorance goes.
I was given the priviledge and opportunity to change my ways. I was given a chance to redeem myself away from my family’s ignorance.
