I wrote a paper back in the 80’s at Pitt on this subject. My professor scoffed at the title. African American life before segregation. Learned a lot writing it. Including black Wall Street and Rosewood. Don’t remember what I got on it. But I was proud with the research.
@@Kashi86 it did bc we were programmed that white is right while every other group is thriving and we’re unfortunately stopped when our ancestors were successful
Now I know why Mom would always get up super early to prepare our meal for the long trip with from Chicago. We never ate in restaurants, but that fried chicken that she made would be so good. We'd hit the road well before daybreak. To all of you reading this, we did this in the 70s. This video really saddens me for the way we were, and in some cases, still are being treated, but I'm glad I found it.
i always wondred why my parents did like to stop to eat alot when we traveled. And i remember that fried chicken tho sodas in a cooler. And we always left super early
I remember traveling down south from New York as a kid in the 1960s. We didn't stop at any restaurants to eat. Food was packed before we left, which was really early.
Summer 1955 I was 4 getting ready to turn 5. We lived in Michigan and daddy said we were headed south to Eufaula and Birmingham Alabama on vacation. Daddy had bought a brand new gray and peach Belair Chevrolet. It wasn’t just our family in the car but other relatives. Daddy had on cuffed blue jeans. I only mentioned it because daddy always wore dress paints. Momma cooked lots of chicken and other foods. So did our other relatives. I remember we were on the road in the south. Everything was smooth until this make shift truck pulled up next to us and tried to run us off the road while yelling words I’ve never heard. It was no wonder when I grew up I found out it was racism. Couldn’t stand to see nicely dressed black folks in a brand new car. Pitiful🤨🤨🤨🤨
Your parents generation which is my grandparents generation worked so hard and were so respectful. At 43 years old now I wish I would've had more deeper conversations with them when I was a child but now they're gone.
U know what,, They can’t (most/all non blacks) even pro create! Soon they will be gone due to their own doing.they just want to take us with them but we will survive!!
I dont believe we have politicians bringing this back. The media says that. What we do have is politicians trying to make America economically independent again, bringing manufacturing jobs back to America etc. A bad economy and loss of manufacturing jobs have created poverty for black people
@@missKushite I say dark skin because of the people who work the fields on a daily basis. Even among African kingdoms, the royalty and nobility had lighter skin than their counterparts. Same in India, China, Japan, Spain, Italy, Greece, etc etc. As long as an upper class exists, there will always be great distain for the lower class, so the people with the darkest skin will be loathed the most by the palm colored people.
@@JubeiKibagamiFez Yes, this! I know that sometimes I get all wrapped up in what’s happening here in this country (as I should) but there are a lot of areas in this world where colorism is still being practiced. In order to change this, we can’t just focus on certain parts of the world. I know it’s easy to say that’s none of my business, but that is why it still goes on. We can and need to care about each other. There are more of us than them.
I lived in upstate NY. In a small town called Summit, there was an amazing Black owned resort named, "JOHNSONS". There was a lake, with cabins facing the water along with activities for families. It was truly, a "Diamond in the rough"! I think of Johnsons fondly.😢
@@maxmx767 Because america realized that black comeradery, Self sufficiency and economic freedom is a direct threat to Y.T.E. American society, due to the fact that it would be mean ACTUAL competition since now the wealth gap has closed and African Americans in this hypothetical situation, Are starting to do better and or surpassing their Y.T.E counterparts, In which, their Y T.E. start to get scared and resort to inhumane and sub human levels of violence due to a fear of envy, jealousy and revenge, As you seen what happened to the many prospering black towns that were destroyed during reconstruction due to those fears.
🥲I am only 46 this month; but I keep The Green Book in my truck. It might be an old publication, but hateful people like them, tend to teach/show their children how to exhibit the same behavior and mistreatment to ours🤦🏽
@@shewhomustbobeyed1 I'm gonna see if I can find a copy of it. Maybe I'll take a motorcycle trip, just to tag those black friendly places, even if they aren't there anymore. Whites love talking about the "mother road", when it was anything but nurturing to us.
Thank you for sharing this information, this provides a visual overview just like the green book. This portion of history is locked in. Again thank you
Thank you for this insightful and informative video. Well done. It's important to acknowledge and remember our country's evolving history, as we move forward into new eras.
Trust me we still stick together, I understand it was more togetherness back then but dont let it fool you , majority of blacks wont watch our own get jumped or beat up by whites like back then .. we jumping in ready for war these days
My great grandmother was a victim while on traiñ going back home to see her baby a white man tried to make her move her seat hit put his hands on her and she beat his butt well he couldn't take a loss he chopped off her head they said she still was going.
I do a lot of genealogy for black people and what’s a common place is seeing that almost have the population was “mulatto”. These pictures clearly show that. wow
Now you understand why it’s ridiculous when immigrants try to separate us by skin tone these days. We’ve been biracial and mixed race since this country was formed. 😮
The black community was actually stronger and healthier then. Wealth was growing despite Jim Crow because the black family was intact. Feminism destroyed that healthy family. The book is called False Black Power by Jason Riley.
These are upper class blacks! Individualism and materialism destroyed the community! And these upper class blacks still push that narrative along with their celebrity counterparts!
I wish all these bad things never ever occurred in our American history but unfortunately they have. Now it's soon to be 2025 and I hope and pray we can all make things better for each and everyone of us and truly enjoy each other and simply love each other
As my sisters and I got older we discussed how well we were protected from racism until the time we were not as pre-teens. I remember those "safe spaces".
I used to live near the site of Paradise Park in Florida, the version of Silver Springs for black people opened in 1949, later purchased by ABC-Paramount entertainment and closed, in 1969. A historical marker was placed at the site about a dozen years ago. I am not aware of anything remaining.
Do you have further videos or resources on why black businesses declined after segregation ended? While I can understand wanting to go to some formerly white only spaces, I don't see why people would turn their backs on restaurants, hotels, guest houses...without cause.
We have politicians in 2024 trying to set us back to this time in history if we don't vote.. Kamala/Walz 2024 Vote my people it's crucial for our children future..
If you think Kamala and Walz gonna do black people any different, you’re in for a very long wait. Besides democrats have been the majority for several decades. And black have regressed in education, owned property, loans/banking, job market etc. Government has never ever had black peoples interest at heart. Never.
Man, ain’t shit changed, we just had a sister found in one of those sundown towns in Tennessee that was beaten beyond recognition and all implications point to a cover-up by law enforcement along with countless others ,mostly found on social media which the mainstream doesn’t talk about.
The problem is the peoples we have to worry about now when we travel is our own peoples.I cringe when i hear a black person was robbed or killed because he drove through a different black neighborhood,these fools that are claiming this is my city,my block,or my town yet they don’t own a pot to piss in but will kill you if you don’t check in with them.
Considering the success of Black enclaves of excellence like Black Wall St and others, seems clear to me that we would have done better choosing segregation...just saying. #loveyourchannel
the man that you supported in 2020 named joe "you aint black" biden was against desegregation in the past and created policies that helped to incarcerate millions of black men and women in america during his political career stop being brainwashed by the DNC and mainstream media remember black people are not obligated to stay on the democrat plantation until eternity its ok to try something new
Some of the younger generations like Millennials and Gen Z need to see what it was like for Baby Boomers and those that came before the Baby Boomers. There is a lot of finger pointing blaming the older generation during this campaign season from younger generations who never went through anything close to what the older generation has gone through.
so we stop supporting each other..... Got it. Im 24 years old and these videos are very informative but I get upset. because they did our people so dirty back then and now we do it to each other its crazy.
Why do we describe ourselves with color of skin? 😮 It does matter when you are describing desperate and dire situations for all ppl. Mainly ppl of colored decents and mixed decents. I believe sometimes the churches we trust continue to keep us oppressed by them the oppressor's. I 🤔 that we can just stop racist statements of selective ppl who may have worked and wanted to live better off than others because they can and choose too. Words have power; be mindful of what power of the tongue and 🙏 pray we as a ppl, culture, or belief.. what is the word blk; social prejudice.... Ijs. 😮pls let us try to grow up learning humble and empathy with every individual individually. I'm not perfect. No justice: No peace ✌️......
I was good listening until i heard the name “african americans”. This story is 50 years before this fake name was put on us. At some point, you all need to understand this is not a name to use. I will keep it simple, using that name is similar to italian American, asian american, or russian american, etc. What are these people considered? Immigrants! In order to be here legally you have to have paperwork allowing to into the country and a country of origin. Now, what do they call immigrants without proper documentation? UNDOCUMENTED! And what do they do with these people? They detain them and quickly send them back where they clain they are from. So unless you have the proper documentation on this “africsn american” nonsense i suggest you stop claiming you are the fictional name. Truth is some of you actually may be from somewhere on that Continient. But the reality is most of us were already here, that is for another day. Enjoy and please do your research.

@@tf5655…this was way after slavery ended. Most mulattos were marrying others of their kind. When lightskin women began marrying darker men was after the horrific wars their boyfriends and eligible bachelors were drafted into and died on the battlefields. So the women back home grabbed what they could and that’s why many people today speak of a mixed or lightskin grandmother and darkskin grandfather or lightskin mama and darkskin father. 🎉

Such hatred towards people with dark skin makes me sick. And what makes me sicker is that we have politicians fighting to bring this way of life back.

Also the “black hamptons “ in Long Island, New York! 😃

So wonderful to see nice black families goes on vacation.
