It really makes the 60s and 70s much more closer to now when the film is in color...after watching most things from the 60s in black and white and earlier....makes you feel like that was soo long ago but seeing things in color makes it feel not so different from now, but it was a much different time in numerous ways....some for worse some for the better!! I guess like everything theres always the good side and bad side to everything like how far technology has come today but theres the down sides to having this tech too like people aren't as connected as once before...back in the day you had to deal with people face to face, and I think things were better that way
I grew up in Mt Vernon NY, the city is still fairly segregated along economic lines and the public schools are still underfunded and lack solid resources. The wealthier part of the city (Fleetwood) is trying to separate itself from the community. Love my hometown, but they’ve gotta get it together.
When still people was people, music was music, morality was morality, woman was woman, man was man, good was good and bad was bad. I haven't seen these days but I feel them precisely. I dunno why I should born late!
The 1960s and 70s look like a tremendous time of upheaval for our American cousins and thankfully things have changed so much and in such a relatively short period of time. Best wishes 🙏
That was a great time in Mt. Vernon to have a bus company because private companies did all the bussing in the city. The question at time was, why not exchange the teachers in the schools since they already drove to work and no extra costs would be incurred. It was a bonanza for the town's Catholic Schools since many parents with the means to pay for a private education send their kids there. The end effect was that the white families eventually moved out of the city and now the schools are essentially racially pure and thus not integrated. At the time integration was instituted segregation was maintained in the high school class rooms by dividing the smart kids from the not so smart or not up to speed kids.
As a southerner from Murfreesboro Tennessee. This is why I laugh when they say that North was more racially Progressive, than down south. Those major cities are more segregated, there's a black side of town, and a white side of town. It's easy to claim to be racially Progressive, when you're not interacting with each other, you're on different sides of town.
Racist housing policies existed across the US but at least up north they didn't have separate restaurants, buses, and you probably wouldn't wake yo to bring cross or be lynched whenever a European American felt like it
@@OMG-seriously Well maybe they didn't have the "colored and white signs only". But it was still segregated, you had a black side of town, and you had a white side of town. Of course the bigger cities we're not going to let race get in the way of Commerce and businesses. Martin Luther King himself said the most racist places he visited, was in Illinois, which is not the South. You better look at 1 minute and 20 seconds, into this video right here, it basically breaks down what I've been saying. ruclips.net/video/jMzjCCPPWhg/видео.html
I really don't see why it matters. It's just like with politics. Both the north and the south were racists. White racists come as both Democrats and Republicans. The only people having a pissing contest about who is nicer to "the blacks" are white people. The average black person already knows what's up.
They're were still slaves basically in Alabama I'm 19 50s theres a doc on yt about it , blacks didn't even really have freedom till 1968 prior to that they got killed for a bunch of shit they didn't do
there's there's alot of cases of black kids getting shot, and everytime a black man defend him self he was found guilty but its not suprising rlly if you know the us prior to 68
Born in la. Raised in san antonio tx. School system. I remember 1st r second grade w.w.white elementary.teacher told us to draw what we wanted to b..i drew a nurse.she told me black ppl cant b a nurse i told my mom when i went home. Mom went to school and the teacher was discipline.Today i have 10 grandbabies and home school them all as they learn to use there skills to survive..work the land and keep it .. Education is a joke now and, they teach them to b control by a white system design to make black kids feel unequal and the under dog in life. I have kings and queens that no there value and do things well. God Blessings..
It’s so crazy to think this was only in the 70s and most our grandparents was born in 30s 40s or 50s and there still alive and well and people think racism goes back to slavery when segregation was still around to people that are well in alive today there always gone be racism in our human era due to whites
It refers to their lineage. Many black Americans of those days shied away from the “African” as to better be seen as Americans when they weren’t always viewed as such.
Nashville still like that pretty much Pearl high was right across street from a projects called jo Johnson and up the street from the school another project called Andrew Jackson now that school is called Martin Luther king, hillwood is south nashville they was white even in the 90s it’s in a green hills area upperdy mall big fancy stores are there but vandy right down the street a couple of blocks up and another project is in walking distance to vandy edge hill projects all the schools was in city bus or walking distance if you lived in proverty back then in the 1980s 1990s up til 2000 and now now everyone mixed in but now private schools are more segregated in nashville more either u real smart or play sports real good and they need you cause they school is bad in sports tragic loosers even before a few kids go there and someone pay for you to go tax write off or your family well off college is the same here it’s jus now any kid can go where they want not by zip codes any more so that’s good but things are still kinda the same underhand back door the same
I went to a school where more than half the students only spoke Spanish...So my only friends were black kids and was called a NL by the other immigrant kids who didn't like blacks....The school felt more like a prison environment because of the fights..It was tough to actually get an education because of all the culture clashes....but I don't think the politics behind these chess moves cared ..
Yes. In the beginning of Europeans being here mixed marriages were a thing. So much so the Europeans (at this point they were calling themselves white) outlawed. There was a fear of being ruled by nonwhites. That is where racism stems from. Most racist ass white people don't even know that. Racism grew out of their own paranoia. Benjamin Franklin lays it all out in a letter. He says this country should be run by the Anglo-Saxon and the Red man. He didn't feel they should keep bringing slaves from Africa. Everywhere they went there were people with some shade of melanin and Benjamin Franklin felt basically white people should get to be the shot callers. Luckily I'm not from Europe, cause after reading that letter I realized somebody has been lying about European history. But my focus is the US.
@@freethinkinmelanin6795 I asked the question because in the Caribbean. black and white married. They mixed freely with each other. The only limit there was in attending higher learning was your own qualification. The only time Carribeans and Africans faced discrimination was when they went to the USA. I was wondering why Americans live apart from each other in different areas.
@@freethinkinmelanin6795 I’m that same letter Benjamin Franklin was complaining about the “tawny skin” people from Germany. Tawny back then meant a so called black person. A lot of black props came from Europe and originate from Europe.
@@MontChillin that's why I said somebody has been lying about European history. In the past I misquoted the countries he actually mentioned so I didn't want to take it there this time.
I was a government high school teacher from 2012-2014, and I can honestly say that the black kids of today don't listen; they're argumentative, combative, disrespectful, and just plain crazy; in fact, it's because of those kids that I don't teach anymore.
"black kids today are.... (Insert generalisation) you are disgusting. I am so glad you are not a teacher anymore. So many people are teachers for a paycheck and should not be teaching.
@Clif Diggz @Clif Diggz Your divide and rule narrative isn't going to work. More Arabs, whites , puerto ricans , Mexicans are finally refusing to be brainwashed by white supremacist ideas. Having issues with some black people does not mean black people or black children are bad. African American children , like most children spend most of their time in school and it's heartbreaking that small minded racist bigots like you are "teaching" them.
I love these old throwback news reports, those people that are still alive, I wonder what they think about todays society.
Probly that they were right
@@alexcorrea4828 Probably glad that most schools are integrated and that we don't have to worry about busing anymore 🤡

Hey are there any people here who are from the 60s or 70s?
Salaam my brotha ✊🏾
"YEAH WE SAY UCK SCHOOL/BUT WE STILL GET THRU!"
Pearl High School is a legendary black high school 💯👍🏾 Hillwood High School is in a upscale part of town. Una School is in a mixed race area
It wild how long it took to do this after the Little Rock 9 happened
Mount Vernon!!
Looking back the integration wasn't the problem the Bussing was
All I have to say is keep it coming ❣

THANK YOU
Okay I'll say it....integration wasn't good for anyone.
Speak for yourself, idiot. My grandparents loved their mixed school and I'm happy that I go to a school with other races 🤡
I think your right
The government should not force segregation or integration. I personally believe integration is morally correct, but it should happen naturally.
There videos make me cringe. I'm very appreciative of them. They just make me cringe. It's embarrassing where we came from
1970. WOW 😲😳 kinda Wish it was. Then NOW.
EXCELLENT VIDEO

That’s a racist statement in itself…. The effects of racism will always be felt in our country due to backwards thinking people like you. 😬👍
Notice the term black or black people not African American? Because none of these people were born in Africa.
It refers to their lineage. Many black Americans of those days shied away from the “African” as to better be seen as Americans when they weren’t always viewed as such.
