- In this video, I’ll answer the question - who was Jim Crow? If you still remember your American History classes back in high school, then there’s a good chance that you’re familiar with the term “Jim Crow.” This referred to racial discrimination in the South, particularly to the set of discriminatory and repressive laws that were once enforced by the United States to restrict the rights of Black people.
This video will make you known about the History of Jim Crow, Uncle tom's cabin and Jim Crow Law and much more. Are you curious? Watch the full video.

That means you’re a life long learner. 🙂 Thanks for watching! 🤓
if you do not know and learn from your history ! your steps will be retraced
It's hard for Jim Crow to wrap his head around Black lives matter
Did you know that Jim Crow represents Dictatorship?
@@Myfavoritecuties Say more, if you don’t mind.
I was never taught about Jim Crow in high school or college. Knowledge is power.
Yes indeed! Knowledge is power. Thanks for watching. 🤓
Same. I didn't know about Jim Crow laws until after I left High School. My mom was born in Texas while Jim Crow existed. I guess for her it was just a normal part of life down there because she never mentioned it until I asked her about it.
There was a reason for that
Same here...... Nothing in our history books. My parents and grandparents remembered at all the times.
Michael, I wasn't either and attended a predominantly black school in West Philly. Yes knowing our past is critical.
In my mind racism stems from ignorance. And it's down right scary how many ignorant people live among us.
Well said! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.🤓
Racism is a 6th sense and it keeps you alive 🙄
And some governors in Florida aim to increase that ignorance. Sad
It's more like willful ignorance. Deep in the heart of every human, they know right from wrong. Yet they choose wrong.
They're alive and well on planet earth
When will the world realize that there is only one race, Human.
Good question. In my opinion, it boils down to education. Racism and prejudice are taught and therefore learned and spread. So my question is, what are we teaching? Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤓
Really, it boils down the person's heart and mind and soul.
Yeah, racism is basically stupidity. Cretins who practice it forget that scientifically every person alive is descended from two of the 7000 breeding pairs of humans that survived the Toba near extinction event. Therefore we all share 99.997% of the same DNA. The 0.003% accounts for height, weight, hair colour, eye colour, skin tone (there's actually only one skin colour - just additional or less pigmentation) and mutant RNA strands. Those genes are constantly evolving to optimise survival in whatever environment the individual lives. So yes, racism is a construct, and a silly nonsensical one at that.
Evolution.
And there are fairies and angels! Signed: Reality!
As a Canadian, I assumed he was a politician that created this movement and created laws. Thanks for sharing this information.
I used to think the same. Thanks for watching!
I thought the origins had to do with Major James R. Crowe , who was a founding member of the Ku Klux Klan.Yes, I know of the version presented here, but I believe"Jim crow" was formed as an amalgamation of both.
So did I 🤯🤯
Yes, so did I.
Don't thank this man.
He smoked a wide open layup.
Jim Crow is code against everyone.
It has nothing to do with anything he said. Yoll stop giving big ups to misery.
This is a view chaser. Not a truth teller.
No truth teller has ads.
And truth is against RUclips Guidelines. The revolution will not be televised. The black man has to close his mouth. Revelation 20:7-10 warns where false prophets go.
It seems so strange to me when this period is referred to as "history" because I LIVED it! It really hasn't been THAT long ago, folks. I grew up in a Southern city in the South during the waning days of "Jim Crow" racial segregation during the mid to late 1950s just before the Civil Rights movement began to become strong and popular with black people. I can still remember riding in the back of the city bus practicing my newly learned reading skills by trying to sound out: "Colored in the Back of the Bus". IF any white person got on a bus that happened to be crowded and there were no seats in the front for them, the driver forced a black passenger in the back of the bus to give their seat to that white person. Believe it or not! There are other indignities black people had to endure, but I won't describe them here because the reason for my making this comment is to make people realize "Jim Crow" was real and it's legal enforcement wasn't THAT long ago. There are MILLIONS of us black Americans who lived under it and remember it well. Take care, people, and may God bless you all.😁😁
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and add value to the content by sharing your experience and thoughts. Thank you. 🤓
And some of us not all of us some of us still go to the back of the bus
I want to get in touch with you, I am black African with African cultures social studies background.
So terrible, I am very sorry for all your pain
Racism is not learned, it is TAUGHT! This is why silence is NOT an option. The easiest way evil succeeds, is when good people don’t stand up and call it out! Edmund Burke nailed it when he said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. AMEN, my Brother!
I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤓
Very much taught. Please do better people I know we can.
@@punothebear yup, it takes a very small mind to infect a child with racism. Look around you. It is taught with purpose out of fear and cowardice.
@@punothebear so you associate a bad experience with race rather than an individual? Seems kind of stupid to me. I generally hold individuals accountable for their actions, not the continent of their ancestry... derp!
@@punothebear let me give you an example. Assuming you are of northern European ancestry, should we hold you personally responsible for the genocide of native Americans? Or are you now conveniently not involved, I mean (in your previous example), the native Americans had a bad experience. Was that you as an individual, or was it just your ancestry? See what I mean? Kinda stupid to think that way really.
All this time i thought jim crow was an actual person that did those terrible things. Turns out its a fiction character.
Yes indeed. A fictional character that became the face of real injustice. Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it. 🤓
@@ozplasmic351 HUH 🙄 I see you've never read anything about the history of voter suppression! SMH
@@ozplasmic351 I just want to make sure we’re on the same page here. Jim Crow was a fictional character but the laws that were named after the character were very much real and fully steeped in racist ideology. Are we on the same page?
I thought it was a nickname for Joe McCarthy and McCarthyism ... which is kind of dumb when one remembers that situation was mostly centered around the "red scare" and anti-communism stuff. Not at all the same. The more you know...
@@LunarCrystal07 The more you know indeed. McCarthyism might be an interesting topic for me to research too. My dad used to mention it here and there but my knowledge of the topic is elementary at best. Anyway, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! I appreciate it. 🤓
I first realized I was black in1962 while traveling by train from Ohio to rural Georgia to visit grandma. We stopped in Tennessee, disembarked for refreshments and to stretch. My own mama like to tore my head off when I nearly took a sip from a ‘whites only’ water fountain. The fountain I was to drink from was around back. One look at that filthy fountain, let’s just say, I was no longer thirsty. I’ll never forget it... I was 5.
Wow! In this short comment, you said a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Thank you. 🤓
@@LetsTeach you’re welcome. It’s a lived experience from tragedy to tragedy, from JFK to Malcolm to MLK, the most peaceful, non-violent man you’d ever wanna meet! Got his head blown off! I was10! To the Panther, “no knock” executions to Vietnam, etc, etc, etc! I’ve no clue what’s “the good old days” The nightmarish list goes on and on and on and on without end! I’m not gonna beg anyone to recognize that my life matters! Is bloodlust really that hypnotic, that intoxicating?!? Words spoken with no apology!
Wow . I'm sorry you experience that at that point in history.
@@Simplelivingslowliving thank you for saying so. It almost feels as if there’s no empathy in this world, but I know unequivocally that there is empathy. At the same time, so many turn their backs on simple human decency. The idea that you wouldn’t dare do to another things that you don’t want done to yourself. It’s really not complicated. Perhaps I’ve gone off topic. But what could possibly go wrong with love and let live?
@@shangosankofa9560 exactly. Sad times we are still living in unfortunately. I'm 28 years old and I cannot imagine what it must've been like living in a segregated USA. 😔
I live in the south, born and raised so I knew what Jim Crow was/is. You did an excellent job explaining it. First time on this channel. Love it!!
I really appreciate that feedback! Thanks for the support. 🤓
Born in the south in the 50’s , never heard of Jim Crow until 15 years ago ! The laws existed just never heard that name applied to them . Did not have to read about them I experienced them !
WHEN I WAS A SMALL CHILD. WE WERE SO POOR. THE PEOPLE OF COLOR LIVED ONE STREET BELOW US. I PLAYED BALL WITH THEIR KIDS OFTEN. THANK YOU LORD FOR KEEPING ME HUMBLE
What I’m choosing to take away from your comment is a reminder that racism and prejudice are taught and learned. If it were natural, it would be innate. Thanks for sharing! 🤓
What I took from it was the fact that not only is it taught, but the poor seems to have similar experiences regardless of race.
At least , it is what I see.
@@jadedjene8786 I appreciate you making that point. Marginalization and discrimination of groups is not relegated to race, although race seems to be an overwhelming reason for bigotry.
@@LetsTeach Wow 🤩.
As if, it is the wedge that is used to separate.
Like if the races came together and realized we share the same burdens, there will come a time where we will learn who the real enemy is. 🤔
@@LetsTeach The next big thing talked about will be class.

You lived during Jim Crow
@@johnallenbailey1103 Yes, I'm Black and 69. Although Jim Crow laws were deemed unconstitutional by the supreme court it still remains as a practice and a custom. Jim Crow was much, much more then the video is telling you.
You grow up with Michael jackson, just 1 month younger than the man himself
I wasn't taught a lot on black history in my formative school years, however, when I got into college, I took a black history course and learned so much. Black history needs to be taught in all schools of the United States, it's a part of our history no matter how ugly and painful its past is. Without history, you are doomed to repeat the past, which is what's happening now.
All very good points. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🤓
This is actually not Black history. This is the part of America's history that it hides from the public. Much of America's true history is hidden and it comes out in the form of Black history.
@@FASBLAQUE Well said. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤓
Exactly, like I posted on the main page, this and the Tulsa Race Massacre are omitted from school history books!! WHY???
It’s just not blacks . Look what they did to Japanese Americans on the west coast. They never did that to the Germans or Italians during the war. How about Native Americans . Also Catholics and Muslims.
Thank you. I'm an old senior and didn't remember where that term came from.
No problem. Thanks for watching! 🤓
Thanks for educating us on this despicable topic. Everyone needs to know the horrible truth about Jim Crow. That was a horrible time in our history,but it needs to be remembered. Generations to come need to be educated and understand about Jim Crow.

The insane part of Jim Crow about "No Mixing" wasnt an issue when slave owners raped our ancestors, and sold those children like animals to the slaughter. As a race we still have so much healing to do. Thank you for the history of the name behind Jim Crow.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and share your thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤓

I agree. I appreciate your comment because it highlights the domino effect of callous and racist acts. An officer who completely disregarded Floyd's life, triggered events that led to chaos and more loss of life.
I had always thought that the segregation laws "jim crow" were named after some county commissioner who started the written laws that other jurisdictions copied. Thanks for the informative video.

I agree. If the joke is at someone else's expense, then it's not a joke. That applies to race, sexual orientation, etc.
@@LetsTeach learn to discrern, a joke is always at someone's expense, you can freely say that kind of joke is a "bad" joke or a "horrible" joke, but it is still a joke
@@digitalian99 Learn to discern? Learn the definition of a joke first. A joke is “a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.” Where in that definition does it mention a joke needing to be at someone’s expense?

I was born in the last years of Jim Crow. I remember the "Whites Only" and the "Blacks Only" signs over doorways and bathrooms and water fountains. One of the first towns to be forced to integrate was Clinton, TN in 1958. The year before, 1957, white citizens of Anderson County TN rioted in their county seat, Clinton, TN. The following year they dynamited the high school. My mother was a teacher in that school. The destruction of the school forced the school system to bus (years before forced bussing) students 9 mi. to Oak Ridge HS. THE EFFECTS OF JIM CROW WENT ON UNTIL I ENTERED COLLEGE. My 1st year I was part of a group of students who went to sing for scholarships at LSU in 1972. On the way back to Nashville, we stopped to eat in Jackson, MS. We sat for over a half hour in the restaurant waiting for someone to serve us but no one came near. We had young black woman in our group and they wouldn't serve us. Even the black folks working at the restaurant would not talk to us.Things did not begin to change until the late 70s, but I have watched racism grow and get even more dangerous over the years. As a white male, I have experienced racism in a variety of forms because of my association with folks of diverse ethnicity with my relationship to that young black contralto, with my year long relationship to a Chinese girlfriend, with my close black friends in HS. I've had problems with the Klan and their very dangerous hooliganism. Make no mistake. What is happening now is headed towards a very bloody end for several reasons. Blacks are armed. There's no leader with the influence, poise, composure, etc. like Dr King to keep the lid on both sides. I fear greatly for this nation at this time.
Thanks a lot for adding value to the content by sharing your experiences and perspective. I appreciate it. 🤓
The Civil Rights Movement's strategy of attacking the Old South first where Jim Crow laws were in vogue was very effective. The North could feel smug and superior at first but soon had to face our own racism!
Thanks for your enlightening video. Jim Crow has been in news a lot recently. Now I've learned the origin of this term. Thanks from an American senior white woman who is embarrassed not to have known this.
No need to be embarrassed. At least you’ve taken the time to begin to educate yourself on the topic now. Thanks for watching! 🤓
Your effort to educate is applauded. Thank you
Thank you very much! I appreciate you taking the time to say that. 🤓
It is pitiful when anyone has to make fun, degrade, and lie on any people to feel better than they are. All people have value with various gifts and talents to benefit our lives.

Well said! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤓
Since so much hate is steeped in ignorance, your efforts to educate must be applauded. As a young child, I was uncomfortable with the dissonance between what was said and what I observed. I learned more from people, especially observation, and books than in actual school. When I was ten, I read a book titled Black Like Me. Many think this was just in the south but I was born in southern California which doesn't have such things happen, but they did.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤓

@@dawnegan3984 It is excellent. It should be required reading in the schools. Alas, that will never happen.
Same for Michigan where I live
CA had an anti-miscegenation law until 1948. The legislature didn't abolish it, the state supreme court struck it down, and the U.S. supreme court declined to review it, leaving the state court decision in place. Nevertheless, the U.S. supreme court didn't strike down anti-miscegenation laws until 1967.
As a European, I find this a very interesting part of American history.

America has a penchant for rewriting history.
@@hopsta5628 let me give you a quote
"On the matters of war and poverty
The Winner Always Write History"
All I seen recently is Democrats removing destroying history they created and trying to re-write it and not owning up to it.History being it good or bad can never be re-written.I can't take a knee for something I never did or be held responsible for the past others created..finger pointing just got old.Just my two cents..
@@cynthiaclarke3979 You’re absolutely correct. You shouldn’t be held responsible for what happened in the past. We should all, however, be held responsible if we allow new versions of past racist actions to take hold today. So not everyone needs to take a knee but it’s important to understand where those who kneel are coming from. That’s called empathy. Being empathetic or being an empathic listener doesn’t mean you need to agree. It just means that you take the time to see things from that person’s or that group’s point of view so that you’re able to make sense of their actions. Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time to politely share your thoughts. 🤓
The information is greatly appreciated. It makes me sad that any one person can make fun at someone else’s expense. I was taught better than that and my children were also.
“I was taught better...”. In my opinion, that’s the key. We learn what we’re taught and we act accordingly. The only way racism and prejudice will be subdued is if each generation is taught that we’re all created equal so that eventually, the majority of us will treat each other as equals.

True or false? The Jim Crow Laws represents Dictatorship

Of course! Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤓
Funny how this was left out of school history books as well as the “Tulsa Race Massacre” back in 1921. Why were we not taught this back in school??
I think it really just depends on where you went to school. I definitely get what you mean though. This isn’t mainstream because it consists of hard truths. Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate it. 🤓
I totally agree! Why didn’t we learn about the Chinatowns in America that were burned in the interests of ‘sanitation’ or Madrigal v. Quilligan?
The powers that be don't want people knowing the truth and do all they can to keep us divided. They live in fear that someday we shall take the time to learn about our neighbors and understanding and compassion will take root. It is divisiveness that gives them their power. Education and an open mind are key. Think of the power the people would have if they united against tyranny.
Right now I'm reading Riot and Remembrance about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Some people that lived in Tulsa just found out about this massacre a few years ago. Everyone in the city didn't want to talk about it back then (1921) and tried to hide it as long as they could.
Just like we we’re made to believe Christopher Columbus was a “Great Explorer” in elementary school!!!
We are taught little in school about Jim Crow, inequality and systemic racism. Also the number of the majority that refuse to see it is amazing.
True. It’s tough for some to acknowledge the need to teach inconvenient truths. By the way, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. 🤓

But it won't be taught in schools. It's not the best interest of the people who runs this country. Because knowledge is power and only white people write the history books in this country not people of color. That's why history only in this country favors white people.
When I was a little boy in Chicago, I heard the name Jim Crow and immediately thought of the whiskey ad whose mascot was the image of a crow with a top hat, monocle, and walking-stick under his wing. Haven’t seen that character in some years come to think of it. Can’t remember which brand of whiskey that was.
Little boy - whiskey - Jim Crow. That combo is so interesting. Anyway, out of curiosity, I looked it up. You’re thinking about Old Crow. By the way, thanks for watching! 🤓
@@LetsTeach Thanks for refreshing my memory. I looked it up. Old Crow was invented by...Dr. James “Jim” Crow. How’s that for a childhood memory and image association? Thanks again for that very interesting history lesson.
My dad's favorite
thank you for the information. I don't see
how people can be like this. to hate someone because of the Color of there Skin.
I agree! Some people fear what they don’t know or understand. It’s said that ignorance is bliss but in the case of racism, ignorance is dangerous. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤓
It is very hard for me to watch "Remember the Titans". I lived through that as a teenager.
If more people would research history & origins, more people would have a better understanding of how today's society came to be.
Very true.
Agreed! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🤓
I am so glad I watched this as I really didn't know the origin of the term. I was born in Alabama in 1948 and grew up there and the pics of the coloured vs. white sections is something I remember very vividly.
I really appreciate you taking the time to add value to the content by sharing your personal recollections. Thanks for watching. 🤓
Great content. Thanks for sharing..

Right, like racism ends at the Mason Dixon line 😒
Lol
Shit, even Canada is racist. Ask a Canadian native American.
@@themaggattack Well, racism exists wherever people reside. Racism is a disease that lives in some people. Wherever those people are, you’ll find racism. Anyway, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤓
Very informative video. I never knew the term "Jim Crow" was from a minstrel act. It is a sad testament to our past that Jim.Crow laws ever existed and an even sadder revelation that they still exist today!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and share your thoughts. 🤓
Such as?
@@petjobedet4650 the hundreds of voter suppression laws being pushed by GOP legislatures, less early voting, less polling places, fewer hours of voting, ect. Race motivated gerrymandering, new protest laws being pushed around the nation, ect
@@geraldmeehan8942 stop listening to media lies. Compare the Georgia voting laws to those of Delaware, Biden country. Then come back and admit you were wrong
@@dcsniper1874 Compare the population of Delaware's largest metro to Atlanta. 0 for 60 f'ing 2. Kemp and Raffenspurger both stood by 2020 results. Does Delaware's legislature have the power to unseat lical election boards and override the will of the people. You quit watching Faux news, One America, Newsmax and all your propaganda bull crap
This is the first time I heard of Jim Crow. Thanks. I learned something today.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment! I appreciate it. 🤓
I wouldn't call the black face routine as "innocuous" because it was so damaging. But I do appreciate the information. Keep it coming!
You’re right. I was using the word from the perspective of the spectators back then but I definitely see how that could be lost in translation. Anyway, thanks for for watching, sharing your thoughts, and your encouraging words. I appreciate it all. 🤓
Thank you so much. I knew the term and wanted to find out what it was about. This will give me a very good boost:)
Thank u
Very cool. I’m glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤓
During the Jim Crow era, laws that looked neutral on their face were specifically designed to target Black voters. Today, legislators across the country are considering bills that will have the same effect. Nowhere is this more obvious than in Georgia, where last week, Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law an omnibus bill that targets Black voters with uncanny accuracy.

Thanks "Let's Teach" for educating me on what should have been taught in elementary school. This will be shared by me.
My pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to watch and sharing the content. I sincerely appreciate the support. 🤓
I knew about Jim Crow but I didn’t know he was a character though I thought he was a real person damn smh
Same here. Thanks for watching!
Yes I have experiences as a white child in the deep South. I was very small, maybe 3 at the time I traveled w/ my great aunt to visit relatives. Her daughter and snl drove us in their car. But we came back by train just she and I. We arrived at a depot as the cotton wagons had just pulled up and she explained that is what went into making clothing. When we walked inside, she told me to sit on one of the long benches. When she came back from I guess the ticket booth, the laborers had come inside and sat all around me. She told me I couldn't sit there I would have to move. I said why I like this seat. But I obeyed. I knew the word 'color' written out because of coloring books. I asked her about that writing over a door. She said that is where they go to the bathroom. That other door is where you go to the bathroom.

Salty:
I am not a bum. I'm a jerk. I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman. Now I only have two things: my friends, and... uh... my thermos. Huh? My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my family, singin' and dancin' down in Mississippi...
I’ve always wondered.
Thank you for educating me.
Glad it was helpful!
Your video was very informative. Thank you.
I appreciate that feedback. Thanks for watching! 🤓
I am Native American and we endured same type dehumanizing caricatures named "Indian Joe and wife Mary" (named after parents of Jesus). Usually depicted shabby, drunk, potbellied and sometimes sitting wrapped in a blanket; women or "squaws" ugly, cross-eyed and bowlegged (to indicate promiscuity) w/papoose on her back.
Very true. Thanks for adding value to the content by sharing what you know. I appreciate it. 🤓
🤦🏽♀️ wow. I had no idea.
I had no idea. It is the Indigenous who also had very ill treatment, even to this day. I look at this country and think, “ man, the level of deceit you have to be to take people and their land. I apologize for that treatment and feel closer to all people that are under the oppressive thumb. We share similar plights.
Yes, this is another hidden fact in America's history. The first police in America had the job of hunting down our indigenous brothers and sisters so much so that they are almost extinct. Great comment, peziki. This history is the most hidden and the legacy of first nation people is still being stepped on and are being treated as not human. We must all stand up against it when and where ever we see it.
I am so sorry.
Thank you - I have wondered about this for years.
Thanks for watching!
Yet another thing that I did not know and had not really thought to research the roots of... Thanks!
I know exactly what you mean. Thanks for watching! 🤓
Nice to hear the actual origin of the term. Thanks.
No problem! Thanks for taking the time to watch. I appreciate it. 🤓
Very informative. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the feedback. 🤓
I remember being a kid in the 80s and asking my teachers who Jim Crow was, like was he real and no one knew.
Interesting. What part of the country?
Very informative and well presented. I hope many others find this channel and have an interest to learn.
I really appreciate the feedback and kind words. Thank you. 🤓
Disgraceful that our educational system "overooked" a vast part of our history, especially the Civil War & its aftermath that we have never dealt with.
I think it boils down to the school’s location and the teachers. I used to be a teacher and the schools I taught at would cover content beyond MLK, for example. I taught in inner city schools, primarily. Many of my friends who are still teaching, don’t shy away from this content either. I get what you’re saying though. These topics aren’t mainstream.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate it. 🤓
I’m in my fifties. My Western Pennsylvania teachers never shied away from reality. We learned about Jim Crow, labor history, the Scopes Trial, etc.
@Thomas Clendaniel What were you taught about the Scopes Trial? I ask because that is an often misrepresented case.
Thank you for the lesson. I had always thought it was from an old cartoon character I, ve seen before.
Thanks for watching! 🤓
This need to be taught in our schools today! Our children need to know their history . Very informative information!
I agree! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤓

Good to know, thanks!
I first heard of the name in a cartoon review video about films that involved stereotypes. I'm glad to have found this channel to learn more.
It’s so interesting the stereotypes that are embedded in films. The backstories are intriguing. Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching! 🤓
👍 I was curious about jim crow
Pretty interesting origin, right? Thanks for watching! 🤓
Thank you for sharing this and I have subscribed. I can remember watching The Black and White Minstrel Show in the UK as a child. It is amazing how long this continued. When it no longer aired, in my innocence and ignorance I recall asking my mother why the show wasn't on any more and she simply told me that it was actually disrespectful and rude to people who were black.
Thanks for adding value to the content by sharing your personal experience. Also, thanks for subscribing! 🤓
Wow are u serious..tell me more was it popular in the UK..black people have come a long long way
Now we know of another set of terms, and why to use them, that FB cant block us for using. Thanks for the additional info and back story on “Jim Crow”.
Thanks for watching! 🤓
Thanks for posting.

wow, great job.. i just found your videos, and am SUBSCRIBING, and will share from time to time... they are WELL DONE, and SHORT, for folks that want to LEARN QUICK
Thanks for the positive feedback and for subscribing! I appreciate it.
As someone who’s British (and happens to be black, I don’t use the term “black British” in my day-to-day life it’s simply not relevant) I thank you for explaining these often used but not really understood phases. 👍🏽✌🏽🇬🇧
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I appreciate it. 🤓
Being black and British you might like to know that Gene Colan and Marv Wolfman in the 1970s created Blade as a black person born in London and it was later decides that, for the movies, he should be an American instead.
@@rodneymarsden3003That is so interesting. And Wesley Snipes got that part? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for details on the history bit
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Of course! Thanks for taking the time to watch. 🤓
This period of our history is SHAMEFUL... In no way can we allow this stupidity to continue. People are individuals and need to be considered individually on their actions. I say this as a conservative and one that is disgusted with treating people other than as individuals and pursuant to their personal actions. Thanks for this informative clip and I would encourage it be shown to HS students.
I appreciate your thoughtful words. You've hit the nail on the head by saying "people are individuals and need to be considered individually on their actions." Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. 🤓
Couldn't agree more sir
I didn’t know where the era got its name from, so thank you for that.
It’s sickening to me that’s so many people haven’t evolved past that mindset.
Thanks for watching!
