How can we forgive and forget when we are STILL being oppressed? If another country attacked the United States, this country would be quick to retaliate and no one would be saying the United States should forgive and forget. People of color are the only people that are told to forgive and forget
People who don't like this video don't like it because they feel overwhelmingly ashamed of what their ancestors did and don't want to address it. We can talk about the Holocaust all day long but because they have to see us everyday then we need to just forget about it.
Ruby G if you’re truly sorry the best way to show it is to stand up and respectfully walk other whites through the same mental perspective you have come to have. I am grateful that you have this perspective and that you acknowledge history the way it should’ve been but if you’re truly sorry, pls put the effort to fight against other close minded perspective and/or ignorance and get them to understand the truth and how to deal with it as well. I’m sure many whites deny the truth cause they don’t know how to deal with the reality of how cruel their ancestors where. If doing this is to much to ask then pls don’t insult us by expressing grief while sitting back and doing nothing to end this ones and for all.

I visited this Plantation two weeks ago. The history that is there is like no other. The story of Victor Haydel being told and so much more. I advise everyone to take a tour of this Plantation you will not be disappointed.
Visiting and touring The Whitney/Haydel plantation was a wonderful experience and was a lifechanging experience that i will never forget. NOLA will forever hv a special place in my heart. I purchased Bouki Fait Gombo, written by Dr. Ibrahima Seck, and its a phenomenal book, his research was mind blowing and his detail for all the information was incomparable, which gives and tells the history of "The German Coast," known as NOLA. When touring the grounds of the Whitney Plantation, you can feel the presence of the ancestors and slaves who lived and worked there. It was emotional, sad, but beautiful all at the same time. We absolutely loved it.
Tours of the Antebellum mansions will always focus on gracious luxury, the lifestyles reflected in the cult of Gone With The Wind and other fictions depicting the proud Southern White as benevolent and ethical. Finally, a museum that reflects the true nature of Plantation culture for what it really was: a prison with barbaric tyranny against a whole race of helpless abductees. This shame is so great, much of the evidence must have been destroyed and it is heartening that a white man pulled together this museum to memorialize the devastating truth. See through the institutional applications of lies and always set your path toward truth.
True some white southerner are smarter. I have a cousin that truely believes only northern troops committed terrible crimes during the civil war. I have tried to enlighten him to no avail. Now he doesn't talk to me. No loss.
@@HandsofGlory1 what's worse is hiding the fact you were sold into slavery by your own people and of you weren't sold you were put to death. But let's not talk about that. Let's not talk about the freedoms you have now. Let's not talk about the opportunity you have because more often than not it's wasted, why? The culture
Well Chet, all I can say in response to your statements is Black people were never viewed as humans. And guess what, many whites still think Black people as "less than human!" Some give their pets more humane respect than they would ever give s Black person.
I’ve been to the whitney plantation. It is an experience like no other. It is a somber experience. The owner was there. I got to meet him he told us all about this place and how he restored it.
Hi🤗🤗 I have a few questions Is there a cost? Do you have make an appt? It is in Atlanta right ? Who was your guide? Me and my girls are looking to do something like this, I think it's something THAT's is needed right now😩😩who knows I might find some kin folk on that list🙂

While I agree that would be really hard to enforce. You would have to legally define what is and isn't black and im sure many people would fall to the wayside. I think it should be free for everyone honestly.
@@SchoolRumble4ever22 I don't have to define it on job applications or when the vendors charge me more because Im a black woman. Or when I apply for capital for my business, they only ask. So the same should apply. It didn't have to be defined when they had "white only and blacks to the back"
That's why I have a big respect to the black community in the US especially to those who are really trying hard to lift up the black reputation despite the media and social scrutiny.
Basically everybody in history has something to be ashamed of. Africans themselves captured, chained, and branded with hot irons other Africans to sell to the British slave companies. Europeans could not enter Africa as they didn't have immunity against malaria and yellow fever.
Yes, you are right. It is not taught in school. If the parents don't know they also cannot teach their children. I am German, have been here about 35 years. My children grew up here, went to school here and none of this was taught properly. I had to piece all my knowledge together myself by researching, reading, etc.
i dont think people understand how most not all light skin black people came about. i kno im pretty but when someone comments on my skin tone or try to tell me im not just black i have to be mixed with something... i think about the stories ive heard about the women in my family being raped by their masters and the pain i feel for them is unexplainable.
Some African Americans are overjoyed to read in their ancestry DNA test that they have British ancestry. It's sad to think that most African Americans don't realize how their British ancestry came to be.
YAAS! I came to know parts of history that were not often included or written in the books but because of my histroy professor, he shed light to a lot of important things. I wish I had known earlier! So you're doing great by teaching the young ones a part of a great big truth outside the shackles of the curriculum.
As a future teacher, I whole-heartedly support this! I have had plans to do the EXACT same thing. The truth needs to be shared; even the ugly parts that are hard to learn. P.S. I wish schools removed Columbus Day out of the curriculum lol!!!!
If we owned our history we’d have to acknowledge that our society is currently systematically racist, we’d have to revamp our history, and be honest about how this country became what it is...
How is it systemic racism, we had a half black president, we have black governors,mayors , city council members, police officers, black business owners, are you freakin kidding me!!!! 🤷🏻♂️
There would be no racism if people would stop talking about it and take responsibility for their own lives and stop blaming the white man for their own failures in life!!!
We here about the horror that happened in Mississippi; Alabama; Tennessee; South and North Carolina; Virginia; Arkansas, but we have heard little about the horror that happened in Louisiana. I plan to visit this plantation. Thanks to the gentleman who are doing this service for us who don't know all of our painful history.

I respect this man for what he did with this museum. I hope to on day visit. His opening statement is so true others accept and have uncounted movies in the holocaust but slavery gets people up in arm. We must acknowledge the pass, we must never truely forget, our ancestors had a LONG fight we should honor them.
Me and my family went to Louisiana a few months ago for family vacation and it was the first place we went to. It was so many emotions involved. Great guide spoke on all the history about the plantation grounds, the slavery quarters and the big house. I learned a lot of new things I didn't know. I found out that they still had some of their bloodline was either living on the plantation grounds or working there. People should go and get something out of it.
My ancestors were slaves. I find no shame in that. I am proud of them. I am grateful to them because they endured and made it through. May they ever RIP.

Wow.. this answered a lot of questions that we simply were not told about in school growing up in Canada. I can honestly say, I am ashamed. Every human being on the planet is just that, a human being. Everyone deserves their chance to be heard and live free.
@@southernman5839 The Caucasoids passivity to their ancestors' evil wrongdoings of the past, today, and plans for the future speaks volumes.

Thank you for posting this video. The sooner Americans deal with and own this part of our history the less it will hang over us and continually divide us. The Germans have already done this in regard to the Holocaust with memorials and open apologies and in other ways and they've been able to move forward. Its way past time America did the same.

The first thing this man said is very true,, which was maybe we are not forgetting, because we never knew,,,, Is all the more reasons why History should be taught in schools...
Houses and plantations still standing need to be burned to ashes. Any and all families who ancestors were slave masters should be ordered to pay retribution to those slaves' bloodline.
I viewed the video Diving With A Purpose, about diving for the location of slave ships at the bottom of the Atlantic. Again, I could not name my feelings but I was in tears as I watched. Watch the video. I think you will understand.
I wonder how long it will take me to read the comments and come across "well the Blacks sold their own", how many comments will i have to read before that line come up.
@@marthapalmer9667 those who sold enslaved people to Europeans did no sell their own, no more than whites committed genocide against other whites, ie the Holocaust. African is not a country never has been, it is continent with multiple nations inside it with multiple ethnic groups. For you to say this, you mind as well say that all Europeans are responsible for slavery, because they all shared the same skin color . This includes Russia and the Slavic nations, are they just as responsible for enslaving people?
If the slave masters didn't come with their trickery, lies and manipulation to Afrika none of this would of happened. They only sold their own cause they were lied to. Still the whites have a responsibility and the biggest role to play when it comes to slavery and you can never try turn this around on black people. If you're white you know very well what your ancestors were doing. Just like today's world people sell their soul willingly in the name of freedom, fortune and fame. Anyone who lies and controls another man is the devil and it runs deep in white peoples blood, the need and erg to control it's sickening and it's happening till date.
Thank you for posting this video. It’s healing to acknowledge our painful past. I wrote an article on the blog site Medium called “I’m Black, Not African American” by ReNina Minter. I’m talking about why being enslaved is something we can’t just “forget”. 🙏🏾 Praying for more museums like this. 💛😃
how about the trutb Dont you know? African kings and Chiefs didnt build any prisons or mental hospitals. Instead the kings and Chiefs traded their criminals and undesirables people into the slave market. And if these afrocans were turned down by the slave traders than those africans were but to death in the annual crematories. So in a summary Africa's kings and Chiefs had made america their prison system
Thank you sir for making this museum. I would like to visit this one day. I don’t understand why one race of people thought it was ok to have slaves when Almighty God created us equal, he made us and he gave us free will. He didn’t even take us as his slaves. A lot of people have a lot to answer to God for and he will see to it.
What about Charles H. Wright Museum in Detroit ? Been around since the 60s and still open to this day educating on slavery . I went there for field trips every year living in Detroit .

I cannot describe the experience of visiting Whitney Plantation. Ive visited a handful, even in DR. This was emotional & enlightening. I'd encourage others to visit this carefully curated experience.
The only emotion I feel about slavery is anger. It has always been my strongest and the mere word does not even come close to describing my feelings about this part of our past. Our foundation. My anger on this is never at rest.
juan hoshkaboo that’s not ur business or ur concern. She has every right to feel what she does for her ancestors and her self. if other parts concern u in this day an age go do something about it instead of acting tough on RUclips.
To juan, I don't have to play the victim, even though my portion of the human race is still victimized on a daily basis by racists. Since you don't have the guts to use your real name, you apparently use your cleverly thought up monicker to hide behind with your racism. The next time you think you have something to say, make sure you know what you're talking about. You call yourself a man. Be one. I'm sure you teach that garbage to kids, if you have any. What a legacy to leave them. I'm sure your klandaddies are proud of you.
Those trees are taunting in the beginning . Where so many souls hung like strange fruit as Billie holiday sang . If you all haven’t heard that song , please do .
Love what you're doing. Little word of advice though, there will be terrible people who will try to vandalize the property or worse. Guard the property day and night or install a lot of cameras around and hire surveillance personnel.
This is an amazing concept put into action. I am unable to leave my house much any more, but I do know that if I can choose a place to go if given the opportunity, this will be it. "Roots" the move, came out when I was a kid and I will never forget the lessons it taught me. When my daughter started watching "Reading Rainbow", she learned who Kunta Kinte was. I found it to be a great segway into that lesson. Unfortunately, this is the first I'm hearing of this, and it's 3 years later. Thank you for the information. Thank you to the beautiful people doing this. It's about time!
Thank you for this, I know my ancestors do not want me to forget them no matter what horrible torture they went through. Give me my identity! I’m not some of these people that want to forget about the horrible things that happened I’m not ashamed, I want to know more.

This needs to be taught in school, children need to continue to be mixed with one another, if you want a better future fix the present and let go of the past, educate the children, forget trying to change the minds of adults, the children are the future
Here in the states, when they talk about slavery it’s very watered down. They don’t teach about the extent of it and only talk about how it came to be, but not how it was. Even now I still learn a lot about the extent of slavery and how rooted racism is even in today’s society. I do research on my watching videos or reading. It’s sad to finally realize this. It’s shameful to not teach the complete history and show it as IT IS.
Thank you very much i am brought to such heartache though..as a black woman of almoat 2020 i hope that my grandsons see change in there life time.Thank you both well 3 for this history wake up call.
Very glad to see this. Lots of White people have craved to know more of this horrible history, especially those Whites who, as children, were shocked at the first televised images of brutality in the 1950s. This is history for all Americans.

Until our country as a true and meaningful conversation about slavery we will never truly be free. when I mean free I am not just talking about African Americans, but all people because slavery was not just about African's but all other brown people who were abducted and brought into slavery. This is a very important museum that does not gloss over what it was like at that time to be colored person.

My husband was a white Orthodontist. We had many Black friends. Our friends were doctors, lawyers, psychiatrists, etc. My doctor is Black. This is in the Deep South. Many many things have changed favorably for Blacks if they take advantage of the opportunities available for them. Much of racism has to do with the lack of education and the lack of exposure to other cultures. But we’ve made progress.
I'm a descendant of those enslaved and owners of this plantation. The Haydel family. my 4xGrandmother Celeste Haydel Favorette was freed and her father was Christophe Haydel (owner) is my 5xGrandfather!
I really enjoyed this video because some of the countries that showed up in my DNA test was Senegal Benin ,Togo . .What I would really like to see a video on is the countries in Africa that we’re involved in the slave trade and had a lot to do with slavery which no one else seems to want to talk about. Most of what we hear about Slavery in the United States are that Europeans and Arabs were the ones that were involved in slavery. No one mentioned the fact that quite a few of the slaves were Muslims.
I cried bc I could have been born during those times. All tho racism & slavery has changed to be more systemically correct & we all still endure it still to this day. I’m grateful for how long we have come & I’m excited To see the changes in the near future for our people!.

This shame is so great, much of the evidence must have been destroyed and it is heartening that a white man pulled together this museum to memorialize the devastating truth. See through the institutional applications of lies and always set your path toward truth.
Thank you. I wanted to say the same thing.
True some white southerner are smarter. I have a cousin that truely believes only northern troops committed terrible crimes during the civil war. I have tried to enlighten him to no avail. Now he doesn't talk to me. No loss.
@@mermaidwe2743 - im sorry to hear that. Its a shame he made it where it had to come to that
It's sad that some white ppl get mad when the tour guides tell the horrific truth about slavery
@@HandsofGlory1 what's worse is hiding the fact you were sold into slavery by your own people and of you weren't sold you were put to death. But let's not talk about that. Let's not talk about the freedoms you have now. Let's not talk about the opportunity you have because more often than not it's wasted, why? The culture
My heart breaks to think of how greed and brutality can make people be so inhuman to other human beings.
Well Chet, all I can say in response to your statements is Black people were never viewed as humans. And guess what, many whites still think Black people as "less than human!" Some give their pets more humane respect than they would ever give s Black person.
Greed? No hate, jealousy!

I’ve been to the whitney plantation. It is an experience like no other. It is a somber experience. The owner was there. I got to meet him he told us all about this place and how he restored it.
Amazing, Painful Place. I visited just last month. I will never forget it.
Hi🤗🤗
I have a few questions
Is there a cost?
Do you have make an appt?
It is in Atlanta right ?
Who was your guide?
Me and my girls are looking to do something like this, I think it's something THAT's is needed right now😩😩who knows I might find some kin folk on that list🙂
I visited it 2018, very powerful!

So go father back to Israelites all of these western nations in African are new set up by European governments
I'm a resident of Orleans Parish, they shouldn't charge African Americans to visit...
Same here and I also feel that we should not be charged, not even for our ancestry report
"Stamp Paid" .... Beloved ...Toni Morrison (Nobel Laureate)
While I agree that would be really hard to enforce. You would have to legally define what is and isn't black and im sure many people would fall to the wayside. I think it should be free for everyone honestly.
@@SchoolRumble4ever22 I don't have to define it on job applications or when the vendors charge me more because Im a black woman. Or when I apply for capital for my business, they only ask. So the same should apply. It didn't have to be defined when they had "white only and blacks to the back"
LilCaramel who will pay for all the buildings and the upkeep ....it’s good that it exists and remains ...
That's why I have a big respect to the black community in the US especially to those who are really trying hard to lift up the black reputation despite the media and social scrutiny.

Basically everybody in history has something to be ashamed of. Africans themselves captured, chained, and branded with hot irons other Africans to sell to the British slave companies. Europeans could not enter Africa as they didn't have immunity against malaria and yellow fever.

To see one of them…to tell their story and bring them back to life.- Dr. Ibrahima Seck
90 percent of Americans don’t know their history.
And they don’t want to know either..
True!
Yes, you are right. It is not taught in school. If the parents don't know they also cannot teach their children. I am German, have been here about 35 years. My children grew up here, went to school here and none of this was taught properly. I had to piece all my knowledge together myself by researching, reading, etc.
They have been brainwashed to be easier to control😟
And only 10% of African slaves were sent to America!!! Guess this makes 100% 😑
i dont think people understand how most not all light skin black people came about. i kno im pretty but when someone comments on my skin tone or try to tell me im not just black i have to be mixed with something... i think about the stories ive heard about the women in my family being raped by their masters and the pain i feel for them is unexplainable.
Beauty is pain....its sad to hear the truth about how the past really was
biracial or lighter afro?
yes and black women were raped in the 20th century and told no one if a white msn raped them because they knew nobody cared.
Some African Americans are overjoyed to read in their ancestry DNA test that they have British ancestry. It's sad to think that most African Americans don't realize how their British ancestry came to be.
I'm a first grade teacher..and I don't care what the curriculum says..I'm adding it.
That's the spirit !

YAAS! I came to know parts of history that were not often included or written in the books but because of my histroy professor, he shed light to a lot of important things. I wish I had known earlier! So you're doing great by teaching the young ones a part of a great big truth outside the shackles of the curriculum.
💯👏🏽✊🏽
As a future teacher, I whole-heartedly support this! I have had plans to do the EXACT same thing. The truth needs to be shared; even the ugly parts that are hard to learn.
P.S. I wish schools removed Columbus Day out of the curriculum lol!!!!
If we owned our history we’d have to acknowledge that our society is currently systematically racist, we’d have to revamp our history, and be honest about how this country became what it is...
How is it systemic racism, we had a half black president, we have black governors,mayors , city council members, police officers, black business owners, are you freakin kidding me!!!! 🤷🏻♂️
Nicohana exactly!
"...There Are None So Blind, As Those That Will Not See..." Some questions don't change who you are... they reveal who you are.
Countries with Antidiscrimination and Equal Opportunity laws cannot be "systematically racist". Your statement is an oxymoron and logical fallacy.
There would be no racism if people would stop talking about it and take responsibility for their own lives and stop blaming the white man for their own failures in life!!!
We here about the horror that happened in Mississippi; Alabama; Tennessee; South and North Carolina; Virginia; Arkansas, but we have heard little about the horror that happened in Louisiana. I plan to visit this plantation. Thanks to the gentleman who are doing this service for us who don't know all of our painful history.
I’ll be taking my boys to this museum this summer and other museums and after that we’ll be going to Ghana.

I respect this man for what he did with this museum. I hope to on day visit. His opening statement is so true others accept and have uncounted movies in the holocaust but slavery gets people up in arm. We must acknowledge the pass, we must never truely forget, our ancestors had a LONG fight we should honor them.
Me and my family went to Louisiana a few months ago for family vacation and it was the first place we went to. It was so many emotions involved. Great guide spoke on all the history about the plantation grounds, the slavery quarters and the big house. I learned a lot of new things I didn't know. I found out that they still had some of their bloodline was either living on the plantation grounds or working there. People should go and get something out of it.

Thank you for posting this video. The sooner Americans deal with and own this part of our history the less it will hang over us and continually divide us.

How can people be so cruel.. It breaks my heart..
I would love to sit and talk with Dr. Ibrahima Seck. I can't imagine a more informative and enlightening conversation for my mental freedom.
The first thing this man said is very true,, which was maybe we are not forgetting, because we never knew,,,, Is all the more reasons why History should be taught in schools...
I visited this plantation in March. It was an excellent experience
Houses and plantations still standing need to be burned to ashes. Any and all families who ancestors were slave masters should be ordered to pay retribution to those slaves' bloodline.
I remember visiting this plantation when I was in Junior High School as a school field trip.
This is something very powerful & something I would want to see.
I am glad an African is the curator. It feels so authentic, thank you Doctor.
Was thinking the same thing.
I viewed the video Diving With A Purpose, about diving for the location of slave ships at the bottom of the Atlantic. Again, I could not name my feelings but I was in tears as I watched. Watch the video. I think you will understand.
I wonder how long it will take me to read the comments and come across "well the Blacks sold their own", how many comments will i have to read before that line come up.
Thank you...
mike askme They did sell their own.
@@marthapalmer9667 those who sold enslaved people to Europeans did no sell their own, no more than whites committed genocide against other whites, ie the Holocaust. African is not a country never has been, it is continent with multiple nations inside it with multiple ethnic groups. For you to say this, you mind as well say that all Europeans are responsible for slavery, because they all shared the same skin color . This includes Russia and the Slavic nations, are they just as responsible for enslaving people?
If the slave masters didn't come with their trickery, lies and manipulation to Afrika none of this would of happened. They only sold their own cause they were lied to. Still the whites have a responsibility and the biggest role to play when it comes to slavery and you can never try turn this around on black people. If you're white you know very well what your ancestors were doing. Just like today's world people sell their soul willingly in the name of freedom, fortune and fame. Anyone who lies and controls another man is the devil and it runs deep in white peoples blood, the need and erg to control it's sickening and it's happening till date.

I'll check it out
I worked as a tour guide at this plantation for a year it was an amazing experience
how about the trutb
Dont you know? African kings and Chiefs didnt build any prisons or mental hospitals. Instead the kings and Chiefs traded their criminals and undesirables people into the slave market. And if these afrocans were turned down by the slave traders than those africans were but to death
in the annual crematories. So in a summary Africa's kings and Chiefs had made america their prison system

Pineapple Sunkist yes so true , still not free now 2019
Thank you sir for making this museum. I would like to visit this one day. I don’t understand why one race of people thought it was ok to have slaves when Almighty God created us equal, he made us and he gave us free will. He didn’t even take us as his slaves.

I cannot describe the experience of visiting Whitney Plantation. Ive visited a handful, even in DR. This was emotional & enlightening. I'd encourage others to visit this carefully curated experience.
When I watch videos like this, it makes me more determined than ever to support reparations for slavery.
The only emotion I feel about slavery is anger. It has always been my strongest and the mere word does not even come close to describing my feelings about this part of our past. Our foundation. My anger on this is never at rest.
juan hoshkaboo that’s not ur business or ur concern. She has every right to feel what she does for her ancestors and her self. if other parts concern u in this day an age go do something about it instead of acting tough on RUclips.
To juan, I don't have to play the victim, even though my portion of the human race is still victimized on a daily basis by racists. Since you don't have the guts to use your real name, you apparently use your cleverly thought up monicker to hide behind with your racism. The next time you think you have something to say, make sure you know what you're talking about. You call yourself a man. Be one. I'm sure you teach that garbage to kids, if you have any. What a legacy to leave them. I'm sure your klandaddies are proud of you.
This sinks deep into my soul 🖤🖤🖤
I've been here. It's so worth visiting!
Those trees are taunting in the beginning . Where so many souls hung like strange fruit as Billie holiday sang . If you all haven’t heard that song , please do .
I have been to this plantation . By far was one of the most informative tours I took.
I wish I could go. I would love to see what it was like.
I think all of us alive right now can change this country forever by just being good people.
Love what you're doing. Little word of advice though, there will be terrible people who will try to vandalize the property or worse. Guard the property day and night or install a lot of cameras around and hire surveillance personnel.
You must never forget the past to prevent reoccurrence. The guy effects of slavery is alive and well in America.
this video deserves WAY more views and appreciation
Who disliked this very real informative video. That's sad
They dislike because they don't want to acknowledge what happened. They'd rather bury it and pretend it never happened.
This is an amazing concept put into action. I am unable to leave my house much any more, but I do know that if I can choose a place to go if given the opportunity, this will be it. "Roots" the move, came out when I was a kid and I will never forget the lessons it taught me. When my daughter started watching "Reading Rainbow", she learned who Kunta Kinte was. I found it to be a great segway into that lesson. Unfortunately, this is the first I'm hearing of this, and it's 3 years later. Thank you for the information. Thank you to the beautiful people doing this. It's about time!
Thank you for this, I know my ancestors do not want me to forget them no matter what horrible torture they went through.

Yes the children is whom i reach best! Hard to get to the parents
The problem is that racist adults are teaching racism to their children on a daily basis. That's one reason racism continues in this world.
Here in the states, when they talk about slavery it’s very watered down. They don’t teach about the extent of it and only talk about how it came to be, but not how it was. Even now I still learn a lot about the extent of slavery and how rooted racism is even in today’s society. I do research on my watching videos or reading. It’s sad to finally realize this. It’s shameful to not teach the complete history and show it as IT IS.

WOW the African realized it could have been him...DEEP....
I like when he said”it was a rich white boy who started this mess, and a rich white boy, who is doing SOMEThing about it”
Until our country as a true and meaningful conversation about slavery we will never truly be free. when I mean free I am not just talking about African Americans, but all people because slavery was not just about African's but all other brown people who were abducted and brought into slavery. This is a very important museum that does not gloss over what it was like at that time to be colored person.

Of course you can't understand you were born in a different era but no doubt you'd be a racist in those times

You said that RIGHT!!
There are so many documentaries for slavery. It is also one of the first things we learned in school.
this house looks like the 1 in Django the movie
I think the movie was filmed there
It was filmed there
That's because it is that house in the movie. The field was edited a bit though to hid the cells in the background.
I was in the comments looking for this cuz I thought the same thing.
My husband was a white Orthodontist. We had many Black friends. Our friends were doctors, lawyers, psychiatrists, etc. My doctor is Black. This is in the Deep South. Many many things have changed favorably for Blacks if they take advantage of the opportunities available for them. Much of racism has to do with the lack of education and the lack of exposure to other cultures. But we’ve made progress.
They were not allowed to read or write but was quickly given that bible book....
Thats a lie .Slave holders didnt wantvthem to read the bible because later on they used it against the slave owners to fight for their freedom

I really enjoyed this video because some of the countries that showed up in my DNA test was Senegal Benin ,Togo . .What I would really like to see a video on is the countries in Africa that we’re involved in the slave trade and had a lot to do with slavery which no one else seems to want to talk about. Most of what we hear about Slavery in the United States are that Europeans and Arabs were the ones that were involved in slavery. No one mentioned the fact that quite a few of the slaves were Muslims.
Create the best version of yourself. That's what everyone needs to be focused on.
I’m just now discovering this video 😩
It's good to be aware of history so you can know where society stands! Don't nobody want to be kept in the dark about the past!
