@live life You know that the Democratic Party and Republican Party switched, right? Why do you think that all of the descendants of the racist Democrats in the South vote Republican today and the descendants of the pro-abolition Republicans in the North vote Democratic today? Are you to tell me that it's just a coincidence that all of the most racist states historically once voted Democrat but now vote Republican? And these are the states that still have the most racism even today?
What I read was that the Depression killed off these towns -- it wasn't politics. A lot of people moved out looking for opportunities elsewhere and never returned.
live life Explain why the South used to vote for the racist Democrats and now the South only votes for Republicans. And also explain why the North which used to vote for the non-racist Republicans now votes for the Democrats?
They tell you it was the past, and to get over it for the fact that they do not want you to remember what blacks can accomplish, and keep you ignorant. Why blacks had a hatred towards whites and why so many of them feel the way they do now.
300+ black owned business destroyed in a matter of days. The black dollar was circulating 12 times over within the black community in those days. The black deli owner would buy from the black farmer who would in turn buy from the black hardware store owner. There was a solid support system in place.The dollars stayed in the community. There were no chinese restaurants or middle eastern owned bodegas for our money to escape to or through. No Korean nail salons or chinese hair care stores. I’ve always felt that desegregation was a ploy to gain access to the black dollar and more and more it’s starting to look like MLK was their paid puppet (either knowingly or unknowingly). Black businesses in places like Tulsa were doing international trades with Canada in those days that’s no small feat.
My friend it's called Group Economics which they don't teach in the public schools anymore. I remember my grandparents telling me about the Black Wall Street. When blacks had capital.
I can’t believe I’m just now finding this video! I’m from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and it bothers me when people question if there are black people in Oklahoma. Of course! We are still here even after all the turmoil that has happened. I grew up in the area where Black wallstreet once stood (north tulsa) and after the massacre, many blacks stayed. It’s a poor area and never recovered, but just like the black community has always done, we continue to survive without much resources. I wish the history of black people in Oklahoma was more well known. Myself and many of the kids I grew up with survived the poverty and violence and made it to college (I currently go to Oklahoma state) and I’m proud to be from Tulsa and I hope to make my ancestors and my community proud by being successful!

Well that's ignorant of you. Skin colour is based on where we live. Those who live near the equator have darker skin to survive the intense sunlight. Those who are near the poles have lighter skins. So technically speaking, black people are more stronger than white people in skin factor.
You're black by default, buddy. You come from a single point in Africa nearly 70,000 years ago. Refrain from using insults, it portrays the image of an individual who does not possess the intellectual capacity to provide a basis for a strong argument.
@ItzMikeOmg I had to illustrate this to an assoiciate of mine that said the same thing. I asked him to read the lyrics and show me any historical references...
My great grandfather Benford owned a whole town in alabama once the state deemed him too powerful the state and federal government slowly picked him clean of all of his land and establishments thru illegal taxation and banking practices
See how decent,United, hardworking and well organized they were back then. Being direct descendants of slaves no one worked harder than them. The biggest motivation here was now they were working for themselves and not for slave masters so they worked even harder. You can see that they lived in families too. They were responsible men and women. The hardworking farmer with his wife quenching his thirst for him. The break up of the family is the beginning of the end. Jesus said in Matthew 12:25 that " every house divided against itself will not stand".It brings tears to my eyes when I contrast it with what's going on today. These folks will be turning in their graves if they saw how their descendants have turned out. Where did it go wrong? So sad to see even as an African living here. How I wished this video was longer. How I wished it was shown around the projects for the people openly boasting about doing time in the "PEN" to see how progressive their forefathers were. Cry the beloved race !
Integration was the only way to enslave us economically and spiritually. Their goal was to destroy our economic block and destroy the Aborigine(Black-American) business.
A lot of trolling under this video. Every time a video makes me smile I scroll down to see the REAL in people’s minds and hearts. I gotta stay away from the comment section 🤦🏾♀️ process your thoughts below 😐 I’m glad my faith keeps me and not yall🤪👊🏾✌🏾
Yes hun. they are everywhere.😂😂how miserable can one be lurking around on different videos to spread their hate.lmao. I actually have a little petty for them.
This happened to my grandpa and his land he wouldn’t leave.he told the klan he prefer death to running.and I still have one of the 1863,38 Winchester rifles that my grandpa and our relatives had for protection. But the clan never came thank God because the klan would have won.
Yes. My husband and I discussed this yesterday. After the civil war where did all the free slaves go? Here! But their stories are not told. We need this for our people again.
I almost cried, it was almost like the pains of slavery kept us together. It just seems the more freedom we had, the more divided we became. Super sad for our people for so many reasons.
And BLACK claim that and its like u already dead on paper, that's how the police get away with laying us down like carpet. You can't kill what's dead legally on paper
THINK ABOUT IT.. if we were from Africa, how come no one has ANY stories or culture or songs passed down? How come no one can tell you what country in Africa we're supposedly from? How come if you talk to your great grandma, she will tell you what "Indian" tribe her grandma was from? Just an observation.
When “they” tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, so you do. Then they get envious and just take the boots. Classic example of good ole fashion American tradition.
@Mr. Devon Slavery ended in the 1800s. If you're in the US you've been free for years, to make something of your life. I grew up in poverty. But I made something of myself. It's a choice.
@Carl E Lee Djoy, spoken truth in your comments and the sad part most of the gloom and doom are coming from African Americans, sometimes i am so sad for my people. History is not suppose to ignite rage or violence, it is suppose to be a road map to do again what was good and to not to do what was bad, i wish people would learn from it.

I agree- but why are they jealous?; Once we know our true story, then it all makes sense. and a psychological shift brews- we are under a spell, as we know- psychological chains

This was truly beautiful thank u
It was like this all over America, sis. This is the land of our progenitors!!! We are not African related people.

America is the Land of the Serpent.
Figure out what that means and you won’t be as lost as you are. You think we were hunter gatherers or something else stupid but I guarantee you that we were magicians.
So black people made more money an did better when they were segregated? That's what I take from this 🤷
Yup thats why the Most high told us to always be seperate from everybody.
@@Zion_1010 😝o so world means other nations means other races? That's what I take from this,,, maybe the ones outside the 12 or 13 Bible tribes?
@@Master-n-Teachvirgo8557 Yes! The Torah speaks of different nations, basically different races. You read the Torah?
@@Zion_1010 IAM a different type of thinker,no I don't subscribe to Islam
@@Master-n-Teachvirgo8557 Its not Islam. We as the chosen are not of any religion. We have a special relationship with the Most High and His Son. The Torah/Scroll/Instruction is the original Bible before things were altered and tooken out. If you really want knowledge on this, this is for your soul and most of all your relationship with the Almighty YAH. Start with The Seed of Israel Videos. I first awakened with his videos, but of course all the credit is to The Most High. Start from there and come back and tell me how you feel.
You put this short doc exactly on what the focus should have been on.... the things we can accomplish if we ever learn to stop hating on one another! Wish it was a bit longer
Incredibly interesting. Wish there was a longer clip. Would love to learn more
We were doing so well back then.
+Dave Kemp racist alert
AI Webb if you're more evolved why do we have 100percent human dna and physically superior?
Well that's ignorant of you. Skin colour is based on where we live. Those who live near the equator have darker skin to survive the intense sunlight. Those who are near the poles have lighter skins. So technically speaking, black people are more stronger than white people in skin factor.
nobody has 100% human dna dumbass
You're black by default, buddy. You come from a single point in Africa nearly 70,000 years ago. Refrain from using insults, it portrays the image of an individual who does not possess the intellectual capacity to provide a basis for a strong argument.
They need to show this more. Thanks so much for sharing this!
The Gap Band song "you dropped a bomb on me" is about how the enemy came and destroyed their community. Facts!

Beautiful Black history ... clean and prosperous ...
Before Dad was replace with government, Thank you for posting this!
Whites set up the social conditions for him to be replaced though.
I love seeing old video of anything.
I luv my people so much. It's hard to watch that. Knowing how great we've always been and still having to endure so much hate.
Yes I love my people. Long suffering to the end. Eventually this will all seem like a dream.

I would appreciate the whole documentary

What’s is there to love about this knowing that so many of us were slaughtered in those times?
My great grandfather Benford owned a whole town in alabama once the state deemed him too powerful the state and federal government slowly picked him clean of all of his land and establishments thru illegal taxation and banking practices
what was the name of the town in Alabama
This is sooo powerful. What powerful people we are.
Makes the heart smile, peace and one love ✌❤🤗
See how decent,United, hardworking and well organized they were back then. Being direct descendants of slaves no one worked harder than them. The biggest motivation here was now they were working for themselves and not for slave masters so they worked even harder. You can see that they lived in families too. They were responsible men and women. The hardworking farmer with his wife quenching his thirst for him. The break up of the family is the beginning of the end. Jesus said in Matthew 12:25 that " every house divided against itself will not stand".It brings tears to my eyes when I contrast it with what's going on today. These folks will be turning in their graves if they saw how their descendants have turned out. Where did it go wrong? So sad to see even as an African living here. How I wished this video was longer. How I wished it was shown around the projects for the people openly boasting about doing time in the "PEN" to see how progressive their forefathers were. Cry the beloved race !
GREAT SPEECH!👏
Segregation was the way, for us. Intergration was sent to us!!
Intergreation was a trick
Integration was the only way to enslave us economically and spiritually. Their goal was to destroy our economic block and destroy the Aborigine(Black-American) business.
Today, Blacks want to live in segregated dorms on many college campuses. I wonder who are the haters now....
@@jayjimenez3453 Nice try, but remember blacks didn't start this.
@@jayjimenez3453
As Hispanics are not segregated ....lmao!!!
A lot of trolling under this video. Every time a video makes me smile I scroll down to see the REAL in people’s minds and hearts. I gotta stay away from the comment section 🤦🏾♀️ process your thoughts below 😐 I’m glad my faith keeps me and not yall🤪👊🏾✌🏾
mzeasha2 Amen Sister
mzeasha2 don’t scroll
Yes hun. they are everywhere.😂😂how miserable can one be lurking around on different videos to spread their hate.lmao. I actually have a little petty for them.
great video. I never knew about the black townships in Oklahoma. Very interesting.
This is where “Black Wall Street “ took place until the town was numbed and burned down by the devils offspring. Google Black Wall Street in Tulsa, OK
There are many other than this one city
I didn’t search for this video 🤎😪 Wheeeew, the timing 😩😫
This happened to my grandpa and his land he wouldn’t leave.he told the klan he prefer death to running.and I still have one of the 1863,38 Winchester rifles that my grandpa and our relatives had for protection. But the clan never came thank God because the klan would have won.
They were cowards even with numbers.
@dwone jones Exactly
Maybe they wouldn't have won.
2000 Barrels a day was alot in the 20s and it's alot today.
Them devil's couldn't stand my people doing good and they couldn't achieve what my people could.
We need this back...😔 2020...
in corners of the USA this does exist
These are the towns of the west portrayed in cowboy movies, but without the black faces.
Yes. My husband and I discussed this yesterday. After the civil war where did all the free slaves go? Here! But their stories are not told. We need this for our people again.
Every living breathing individual,needs to see this footage.allow yourself to be educated.truly.
I almost cried, it was almost like the pains of slavery kept us together. It just seems the more freedom we had, the more divided we became. Super sad for our people for so many reasons.
The National Geographic channel will never tell the whole story,
Only a 1:45 I need to see the full footage. It was so beautiful and inspiring.
This footage is beautiful. We can definitely get along, live, & thrive as a people. I love us for real
We need to refrain from saying African Americans
Black. Its. That simple
@@ericwilliamson5508 that has no legal standing either...Nationality
We are Africans.
And BLACK claim that and its like u already dead on paper, that's how the police get away with laying us down like carpet. You can't kill what's dead legally on paper
THINK ABOUT IT.. if we were from Africa, how come no one has ANY stories or culture or songs passed down? How come no one can tell you what country in Africa we're supposedly from? How come if you talk to your great grandma, she will tell you what "Indian" tribe her grandma was from? Just an observation.
That video moved me, greetings from turkey, the new generation needs to learn
Beautiful footage. I wish this story was told more. The stories of overcoming the pain. It's sad because I forget about this!
Beautiful?
To seem them moving in a path to upward mobility filled with hurdles.
WOW this information was very inspiring helpful and beautiful.
Yes its beautiful.
When “they” tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, so you do. Then they get envious and just take the boots. Classic example of good ole fashion American tradition.
Thank you for posting!
Been watching us close ever since. 😂😂
Every since they were shown how to get here in 1492.
When we live separate and not segregated it’s a beautiful thing.
Sad to see that our American dream has now become an American nightmare.
spanish rampage Aren’t those Mexicans who do that?
@Mr. Devon Slavery ended in the 1800s. If you're in the US you've been free for years, to make something of your life. I grew up in poverty. But I made something of myself. It's a choice.
FUN FACT: Cops were HEROS back then
Through this video you can feel the peaceful serenity
True.
So good to see my people thriving and flourishing. We can do it again - don't give up, we are overcomers!
They tell us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps but dont want us making our own boots.
Life before government dependency and the breakdown of the black family, sigh.
life before that same goverment bombed and burned this town in tulsa known as little africa/ black wallstreet to the ground.

Wow. This was amazing to learn. I am proud they were able to accomplish these feats.
Facts that are not taught in your local public school. I surely wasn't informed, until later in life.
Wow. What history I never learned including in an HBCU.
Awesome resource & news.
They've always needed us more than we've needed them.
I didn't know we had oil wells....!
We had everything
Looking at all of these "gloom and doom" comments, no one would never guess this was a positive video
@Carl E Lee Djoy, spoken truth in your comments and the sad part most of the gloom and doom are coming from African Americans, sometimes i am so sad for my people. History is not suppose to ignite rage or violence, it is suppose to be a road map to do again what was good and to not to do what was bad, i wish people would learn from it.
Thank you for showing this!
Nine years after this video was filmed, the Tulsa massacre took place.
Thanks for sharing this.
That’s so beautiful and heartbreaking. 🖤
Now I'm happy to see this kind of story people need too look up their own history. Become knowledgeable
and no one can take that from you
This is such a beautiful image just peace and happiness, thriving and successful black people💕 love it thanks for sharing!
This makes me cry. I wish we can do this again.
We're going too. You are loved and cherished.
Jealousy killed the dream. The reason she didn't focus on the destruction is because she wants us to focus on that we did it once before, WE CAN do it AGAIN.
