@bill Johnson how is the black panther party a terrorist organization all they were doing was defending themselves from police brutality and the KKK and how is BLM all they do is protest police brutality you're a southerner who thinks Confederate flag aren't offensive are you
I turn 70 this month. I was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama and none of this information was in any of my high school classes, nor was it readily available elsewhere. Thank you so much for this video! I remain furious regarding the lack of actual education I received during high school. Everything related to the Civil War and our violently racist past was, for lack of a better term, whitewashed in school.
If a person of any color, creed, culture wants to dislike me, let it be because of my character. I can work on that. I have a choice in that matter. I can improve it. Not dislike me because of my skin complexion, something I had no choice in & can't change. Thank you for this video friend 💪🏿✊🏿
Why would you even want to change your skin color, it's beautiful? Has it ever occured to you that people who don't like your skin color are jealous because they don't have any? Your melanin is very strong.
This video was very, very enlightening. This kind of info we really don't hear in public schools or even some college. I stayed glued to this. Hung on to every word. Thanks for posting Keith Hughes.
Those Democrat's, never stop rolling that racist ball. Their goal is to divide. Most Trump supporters would agree, that we love "all" #Americans This war "now" is not about black and white, but a war about #USsovereignty vs. #Globalism
Jane Young it’s fine to use always and never if it’s precluded by everything or nothing. Those are absolutes which then the absolute of always or never negates the primary absolute of everything or nothing making it no longer absolute.
I am watching this outside the US and I searched this term "Jim Crow" because I heard it so many times... After watching this video all I can say is that the US has come from very far thanks to all the good people who fought for equality and justice in all races. Without people who stood for what is right imagine how bad the lives of millions of people would have been. The black people have it a lot better; but there are still some areas where I can see there is a modern Jim Crow like the justice system. There are also many groups who want things to stay the same, as it is still common to see groups who are against black people who demand equality like groups who are against BLM movement or the Race Theory... all in all though things are million times better than before thanks for great people who fought for change.
I went through segregation with one of my really young students (around 7-8 yrs old) and she thought that it was made up cause of the things that were done as a whole. Its amazing that the kids now, even when I was young, are horrified that humans threated each other that way. Definitely a good sign of the future.
Unfortunately some states don’t want to teach that segregation even happened to the same kids ages they’re trying to “protect”. It would be too much for their children. And my response is it wasn’t too much for Ruby Bridges and all the children that went through it?

MatthewSquirrel The tools of discrimination, prejudice, ethnocentrism, and hate are used by a person to ensure his or her existence-to continue to climb up the economic ladder of life. In today’s society, like anytime in history, it’s boils down to what one needs to do to ensure one’s survival. As a PEOPLE , I sincerely believe that with self love, self preservation, most especially in maintaining the SAFETY of communities and UNITY, our survival will continue to be ENSURED, despite the facts that forms of inequalities that will continue to exist, almost every where , centuries and decades later! The most important thing is not to be anyone equal, but to continue to have a clear understanding that our survival depends on each other, as a group of people at home and abroad!
the schools this society has are not worth a shoe without a sole. These schools now are not going to help you they were design by dewey who wanted to indoctrinate kids for communist ends....PLEASE LEARN ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS TREATED THE BLACK PEOPLE AND DON"T VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS...THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER OUR FREE SOCIETY WITH 1 of 3 GOVERMENTS BUT ALL WILL DESTROY OUR CONSTITUTION GUARANTEED RIGHTS.....THREE FORMS OF DEMOCRAT GOVERMENT they want are progressive (or alinskist),communist/socialist,or fascist which is what they accuse republicans of yet they will use given the right circumstance.....any of those can be utilized by the democats if they can kill our constitution....

It just seems insane that this was acceptable within living history. Not only is it almost incomprehensible that people thought like this, it’s also hard to believe that public opinion has changed so much in such a short time
At the age of 82 I can confirm that all that was said about the inhuman treatment of black Americans was true, I witnessed most of it in person. We desperately need a push to educate and not allow to have this part of history to br forgotten or worse, to not even have it known.
I love this. Straight information. Not indoctrination or misinformation. (that I can tell as yet). This video has spawned a pretty massive research project. This is the 'systemic racism' that we are now digging out by the roots. Not by destroying cities or creating 'safe spaces'; but standing together, getting educated on TRUTH and FACT, and becoming successful together. Admitting when we are wrong. And admitting that HATING OTHERS IS INSANE, that if you HATE another race: YOU are wrong, confused, and turned away from Love.
The scary thing is they figure they had all rights to treat black people or native American or Latinos or Asían people how ever they choose. I feel bad for blacks and other ethnic groups who faced them. Horrible people.
I believe that the history of Jim Crow needs to be taught in detail to high school students and see where the nexus of racism began and those who were brave enough to take it on.
@Rich Sullivan there is nothing more sheepish then the utter garbage you just wrote. Your party affiliation doesn't exempt you from racism, are you crazy? 😂😂😂
It really saddens me to hear that you learned so little. could it be that you were not into learning at that time? Perhaps you have reached a level of maturity that allows you to really consider what was being taught. for many cutting class or harmones could be to blame. "History is sooo boring" is what I heard no matter how creative one attempted to be in presenting information.
Rich Sullivan let me help you 1. In the 1800’s were most democrats in the south and republicans in north? YES 2. Were the democrats in the south confederates? YES 3. Did the confederates love enslavement of blacks? YES 4. Who in 2020 still support confederates? People from the south? YES 5. And what political party are those people from the south affiliated with? REPUBLICAN PARTY 6. Why? Because in the MID 20th century THE PARTIES FLIPPED! And the north became mostly Democrat You’re welcome (HAPPY NOW)
@@mariewheeler6522 schools do not go onto this much detail about racism. My 4th black teacher was reprimanded for going into detail about slavery because this goes against the school curriculum.
@Shawna Weiss you do realize school curriculums are designed differently all across the United states. There's are places in the south where the text books called the slaves "migrant workers".
Thank you. I was born in 1857 and though I've known and read about "Jim Crow Laws" since I could read, I can say this is about as concise an explanation as I've ever seen regarding it. Thanks!
Theres a logicla reason. If you elevate yourself over others as a group for example the made up white race, than you are atleast superior on the basis of your birth instead of what you achieve. A lot easier and stabler of an existence right? Humans all have about the same needs. Some people are just better at dehumanizing other parties than others.
ALL of this disgusting racial pain suffered by blacks was/is from demonrats! I would say read your history, but the dems are desperately trying to re-write it. From slavery, the kkk, Jim Crow, etc... the democrats are responsible!
In essence we all know black and whites alike that these laws are in place to disenfranchised black peoples so my question is “How long do you plan to continue with this travesty before making right the wrongs done to Black Peoples?
I’m 41. They’ve kept a lot of this out of the history books when I was coming up. I’m still learning. At 41. I didn’t know there was a Black Wall Street until yesterday. Just found out about the Great Migration a few years ago so thank u for keeping us informed.
I truly appreciate this video and it should be a course taught in all schools as a means of how the importance of diversity serves an essential role in how we coexist today! We respond to what our ignorance allows
I am a black woman and I want to thank you for your video. I’m 32 and actually thought Jim Crow was an actual man 😐. I went to one of the top schools in Central Mississippi and this was NOT EVEN MENTIONED!!! Oh, New subscriber 🤗
I didn't learn about Jim Crow in depth until college. It really needs to be taught earlier in high school, even if its not a deep dive. Its a missing area in the reason why there is a disparity between Black/white wealth, treatment, and the original cause of most of our problems Some white people say "Slavery happened a long time ago! No one is around who was a slave or slavemaster!" and they're partially right. The period in history that affects Black people today is the JIm Crow era. They impeded and destroyed all of the progress made by the freeing of slaves from then until...Civil Rights in the 1960s?? Thats decades where Whites could legally get ahead while (most) Blacks her held down, held back. Some of us thrived but the majority of us were purposely held back The mentality of Black inferiority and White Superiority was reinforced during the Jim Crow era, and continues to this day. Otherwise, wouldn't that belief have died out as ALL slavemasters and their families died decades ago?
Great video thank you for posting it. I'm a Spanish man born in the Bronx raised in New York City and I witnessed a lot of racial discrimination against black people and I remember my friends talk a lot of smack about black people and I have to say it it really bothered me a lot because I met some of the smartest and most wonderful black people in my life and I think to myself wow the people of the past were so Wicked and ignorant and I hope the new generation enter the future with a better mind a better heart and a better soul. And I love how you said "where your attentions go your energy flows".
Wonderful short video! If you do a new version of this, please take out the background, which is very distracting. In fact, I would be thrilled if you were to do a series of in-depth videos about the many topics that you raise in this video.
He may be more interesting to you, but sadly he's full of shit. Of cours, don;t let facts g in the way of learning anything. Try reading books instead of getting your info from hacks on UA-cam.
spot light I don’t have the time or inclination to be your history teacher, do your own research at a library...but UA-cam, while entertaining, is hardly the place to learn unbiased, accurate history
This is a really good video. I enjoy that UA-cam can be a platform for what schools and institutions don´t want to teach. I LOVE to see it! This needs to be taugh so we never forget how horrible this type of inhuman behaviour is and what effects it had! It is the only way to become better, kinder and more rational people. We all deserve peace, security and equality because we are all the same inside. Teach love for all humans, not just people that look like you. It can only lead to good things
It hurts so much because despite all of the things that have changed, the Jim Crow system is still active not only in America but even here in South Africa. It's a lot more passive now due to all the sacrifices and blood shed of Black people (and in my country even some white people) over the decades. But still today, the majority of white people truly believe they are superior to any and every other color group, even when they don't say it. They certainly show it. Also I just found out from one of my white friends that he paid half the price of the exact same COMP TIA A+ IT qualification we are both studying right now in the very same class. In my last job, I was working with a white junior employee in the cyber security analysis department. He had no IT qualifications, I have a BSc Degree with an Masters in Artificial Intelligence. I had been working their 7 months, he had worked there for a month. Even though I and a few other people were teaching him his work (he was working under us) he was making R 7 000 more than any of us ($ 557.86 more)
My grandparents were alive when brown vs board of education took places. These changes didn't take place that long ago. Then we want to act like racism is gone. How is it gone when the people who were promoting racism, committing lynchings, lived during segregation and etc are still living.
@rebnation ; Very few people who were adults or teens 70yrs ago (brown vs)are still alive today. Not all white southerners were racist many had to keep their mouths shut because like conservatives( white&black) today , they are bullied and harassed by liberals /progressives for being pro free speech pro America , pro Isreal ETC! Civil rights activist were extremely brave in the 40s/50s to march in the south.I went to the national Civil Rights Monument in Montgomery Alabama recently and was proud to see a beautiful monument honoring civil rights heroes in America ,many of these martyrs where white!! Yes theres a lot of history that gets bypassed in school!
Ah yeah my two older sister knew my great grandparents face to face my mother and father knew slaves face to face and I am so young that I have a 3 year old so yeah my great grandparents were slaves that wasn't so long ago
@@stalkingwolf1954 because a lot of people WERE MURDERED or had such terrible lives they died young others had their penises and or testicles bitten off by those snarling dogs in the old videos so they had no DESCENDANTS 😑 to pass on their stories too and like you said neither did all THOSE MURDERED WHITE civil rights workers
Systemic racism is well and truly gone. Individuals will always be stupid, but they don't have legal recourse now. I'm old enough to remember MLK. Things are way different now. If we want to improve things further, then that's on us.
Liyahhh K i can say that it wasn't the "Race" its the way the race was brought up, if a person was raised in the ghetto and grew up to hate crips or bloods being of white or black colour doesnt mean that the race hates the rival gang but the way they were brought up.
Eli Smoothie race is not real, it is a social concept put into existence in the 1600s by the europeans and esp. during the formation of this country in order for the weak struggle gene people to feel superior to non-melanated people by enacting laws etc.... No such thing as the black race, Mexican race... And on and on
These laws effected every POC, indigenous Asians (south and east). I just wish I knew earlier how we ALL were treated here from residential schools, to the railways in the west...
Because the teachers union officials, school administrators, and DOE bureaucracy are powerful Democrat constituencies. They can get their agents elected using the Democrat brand name, and those same politicians who run as Democrat block competition in the marketplace and public services. That's why you're forced to pay 2-5 times as much for most of these services.
We’ll she didn’t really ever put politics into any of it, which i was okay with. But, simply just knowing that folks were treated in this regard was the largest basis of her teachings. She wanted all of her students to be aware of the atrocities that minorities have faced. This is in Pueblo, Colorado District 60. I went to central high school all 4 years and i had the pleasure of having Dr. Aragon for my first 3 years. I feel like most of this was taught in US History 2 and Chicano Studies as well.
I think she didnt bring politics into it because it was a high school class filled with kids that hardly gave a shit about her message so she wanted us to understand the simplicities of what happened rather than teaching us politics for hundreds of years ago. 🤷🏽♂️
I went to school in the Northeast and graduated in 2016, it boggles the mind that I'm seeing so many comments from people that haven't learned about this. That's pretty disheartening
IStayJuiced fuck childish gambino this has been happening for many decades and has been brought up by other people of color weather they been black , Hispanics or native Americans...
D Lopez even though this has been happening for so long a lot of people are still unaware. So what gambino is doing is putting real issues into our mainstream pop culture and making it popular. It also encourages people to educate themselves. I’m here because of the gambino video cause i didn’t know the full extent of jim crowd history. Encouraging education and thought it one of the most important things artists could do in today’s society.
I've heard the term "Jim Crow laws" so many times, and still I assumed that Jim Crow was probably some racist politician who named these laws.... I've had to actively search these videos to get some explanation.
The term Jim Crow Laws was coined by a NY journalist in 1890s. My take on Jim Crow the character is it wasn't a flattering character however at the time in my opinion based on certain things such as the character being referenced in Uncle Tom's Cabin ( the second largest English language book sold in the 1800s behind the Bible , the most famous piece of abolishionist fiction based on reality), I don't think the character was particularly offensive. If you were to apply such a standard today the gangsta rappers make the black minstrel shows which were also performed by black people look decisively polite and non offensive. I am waiting for the outrage against the modern day performers who are in reality far more offensive. Do I think gangsta rap should be banned no but it should be seen for what it is and hopefully most people consider it fantasy.
What's in a name? Jim Crow laws were also called Black Laws or Black Codes especially in the Northern states where they existed before, during and even after the so-called Civil War. They were legal codes to discourage even free blacks from moving into and settling into Northern states or making black residents ineligible to vote. Like Ohio and or Illinois as two examples: slavenorth.com/ohio.htm www.lib.niu.edu/1996/iht329602.html
It is good to know historical facts about slavery so we never let it happen again. Today Racial issues aren't relevant due to the laws against discrimination. No one should be worried about being able to achieving the American Dream. The media is always announcing racial issues in a generalized way, but they don't give any facts. Always avoid issues of stupidity. Just be a productive member of society, live a good life and have fun, you only get one chance.
Interesting synopsis... I have recently been following the US political scene much more closely. I am a UK citizen. I have been reading Colston Whiteheads Pulitzer Prize winning novels and have Neen transfixed with the febrile politics in your country. I know school boards have become a vexatious issue with regard to various culture war issues/the faux critical race theory argument etc, but I just want to ask if these points you raised are taught in high school history? Thanks...
It's crazy! I am a proud immigrant I came to this country in 1995 graduated from Jr High School, High School and College and this is the first time I am learning about this. This shows you how broken our education system is.
Really? Then probably you don't know that Mississippi ratified the thirteenth Amendment until 1995. So, in a way, slavery was still legal there some 130 years after it was abolished. "Missing paperwork" was the excuse(!).
@@victorcarrillo1570 I'd like to add that Slavery in America is still very much alive It never ended blacks just got labeled criminals and mass incarceration started to happen. Every prisoner is a slave, its actually in the 13th amendment
Dang I'm black and some of the stuff you said I didn't even know because our schools don't teach us this stuff. I think we should have to learn history from all races because this is America it's not only white people who live here.
I had a similar experience as a Latina learning about Latin America. When I studied in London for a year I had the best and complete history/political/business education on Latin America and why each country got where it is today - not only Mexican Migration to US but all the countries
I don't understand why anybody would dislike such a stellar presentation of such vital history. Every American should know these historical facts. Very well done!
All of this is good history I will say. Thanks for a lot of the info that's needed. The problem we have now is the jim crow law still stands. Look around you everyday and everywhere people with color goes, there's still jim crow hanging on our backs. Watch this next election if you think I'm kidding. You think it was bad with Donald Trump?? Wait until November.
Mr. Hughes, I really appreciate your MORE-SERIOUS-THAN-USUAL approach to this theme, as it is a very sensitive one for my race. As sensitive as it is, I am more offended by the silence around it when it is obviously vital to a correct historical understand and also enlightening in addressing the tensions around contemporary race relations and institutional residue spill-over. I often refer to your lessons and I will continue to do that especially in consideration of your honest treatment of these matters. Thank you for your honest voice.
Michael Smith There is some hard truth that blacks don't want to face. One is our females feminalizion of males program. This is a Christian black Americans program.
It is the only power they have to hinder others' progress and the most powerful tool to energize their people. Their superiority lies in implementing jim crow pratices.
I still can't believe that this was the United States and the KKK still exists today. Just to see what Happened to George Floyd by the hands of a law enforcer says a lot and it saddens me for the black community in the United States.
"Inequality and racism exist not because of evil but because the unaffected majority put their interests above all others, and their inaction allows inequality to flourish. That is why I believe that silence in the presence of injustice is as bad as injustice itself. White people who are quiet about racism might not plant the seed, but their silence is sunlight." - Michael Harriot
They benefit. So to stay silent is in their best interests. Condoning in silence to not bare any responsibility is their play being called. The morally insufficient comments tells you how america feels about BLACK PEOPLE.

We have become just like them in our communities, lack of morals, values and most importantly LOVE!
Thank you for explaining where the term "Jim Crow" came from. I had heard this term many many times and knew what the laws did, but not how the term got its name.
I wondered for awhile. When I was married in 1966 my Great Uncle who lived in rural Jones County Mississippi could only imagine that I needed my chickens to start my family. He was going to send them to me as he couldn’t imagine a city that didn’t have chickens. That part of my family would not have passed a sophisticated literacy test. But I loved them.
My civics teacher is talking about how other teachers sugar coat this or brush over it because they don’t want to offend people, but if your reaction is anything but appalled then there is something wrong.
Adam Price if revealing troubling truths equates to silly for you it is what it is. Just to warn you there is a lot more silliness out there that you've probably relied upon as self esteem builders.
I’m Haitian, when I first started learning about Jim Crow back in 7th grade I never understood it since in Haiti we didn’t really these experiences since we had independence since 1804. Even though we had independence France & America still make us suffer to this day. My teacher taught us some of this in 7th grade since it was a predominantly black school she took the risk by teaching us more about this. I was not that old and I had very little knowledge about Black history in the. All we learned in school in Haiti was Haitian history and world history at a very young age. I knew Europeans countries connected to slavery. When I learned about Black American history it bring out anger out me sometimes I would cry while search on the internet, especially when we read Emmett Till. But now I’m older more older, more influenced by history. I’m basically used to the system if evil.
itsjustaguy -Emmett Till is unfortunate - however , only elitist care about segregation , power and cheap labor - everyday folks just care about family , work, bills, fun, food and to be around people who won’t harm them or their possessions . I have white folks and blacks folks and everything in between in my family -we Colombians -and no one plays the race game there- it’s about social economics - let us not let the elitist influence us into caring about what they care about - in the end -there are good folk and bad folk regardless of gender , sex, race, blood type , religion , politics, nationality ,etc,etc, etc
@Kev Cthulu France kept demanding money from them to pay France back for Haiti taking its own independence. And actually impoverished them by forcing them to pay.
Well the first effort has to be to educate the masses. If public schools don't teach our real history then we are all at a disadvantage. We can't improve anything when we deny it's existence. If Betsy DeVos was a real human she could spearhead that. Get new history books written and approved immediately.
Makiya Jackson agreed but I’m glad that it’s happening. It’s amazing how many Americans don’t know the history. I always say that majority of blacks under the age of 30 don’t know our history. Also, majority of white Americans 50 and under don’t know this history because of white flight after integration. This should be apart of the citizenship process in the US for all immigrants so that it puts thing in perspective so when they see the minority non progressive black people they don’t judge so harshly.
yeah it's insult to injury to look down on black people for getting here through a black man's work of art. lots of laws, mores, folkways, money and power went into holding us down. I praise the fact that we actually managed to wake up IN SPITE OF all that was done to keep us pinned down.
I agree with you that knowing about the Jim Crow era in this country should be a requirement! I find that time in our history shameful and disgusting, but also am proud of the changes made (and still being made) during the Civil Rights Movement. I showed this video to my 9th graders and while fast, it helped answer many of their questions other sources were unclear about. Thank you for the video.
Dude, it goes waaaay deeper. Convict leasing, redlining, land,property and business theft/destruction, drugs and guns brought in during the Nixon Administration thru the present, targeting by the criminal justice system. This has made us an economic underclass and without reparations, it aint lookin pretty. Simply knowing about this history aint enough. What are you gonna DO about it?
I want to thank you for this informative video I went to high school history class & now am in college & still have never heard this. It's unconceivable that our countries still attempting to keep this from us. But not really surprised
"Understanding Jim Crow should be a requirement of citizenship". I'm Canadian but having spent some time in the States, I agree with this 💯. I just did a video on the first black heavyweight champion Jack Johnson who rose to the title at the height of the Jim Crow era. So incredible given the history outlined here. New sub! Thanks for the video!
@@oliverphippen1957 "behaviour requirement" what a joke, the reason the black community still struggles to this day is because of what Jim Crow did to generations of blacks. Could you imagine how much more prosperous the country would be if after Slavery, they decided to educate the 20% of blacks in the country and not segregate them into Ghettos and destroy/assassinate their businesses and leaders when they became influential and prosperous?
Colour Commentary I hope you noticed the long term psychological effects on Mr. Johnson. This phenomenon of self-loathing and actively seeking that type of wife to procreate with continues... it’s kind of like self induced genocide.
For real, we have little to none education on black history, and Native American history. It’s crazy how much this country suffers from white savoir syndrome.
I was 12 when I was chased by a mob of white (grown and young) men in Oak Park Illinois in the 70s. An elderly white woman saved me. She screamed at the mob as I cowered on her porch.."yall leave that boy alone!" She allowed me to go through her home and out the back door to get back to my aunts home. My aunt was one of the first black families to live in that racist town. It still bothers me to this day because I sometimes can still sense that fear I had as a child of being hunted by the slavemaster and his mob. I struggle today because of what happened with believing that whites and blacks worship the same God.
@Carl Grove it's an easy way to look at it to deal with their hatred. But I'm sure that they considered themselves to be Christians with all that hatred dwelling in them. Overall, today I'm good because I know the truth. Yet I still think of that moment and it makes me think of my children who most likely have dealt with such hatred.
@@caspercares4131 Yes, bizarre how monsters can regard themselves as "good," but then so did the Nazis! Genuinely spiritual people never see themselves as good, because they are aware of all their flaws. Terrible that you had to go through that experience though.

Good video. Though reading through the comments and comments, in general, I feel like when someone tells you to “crack open a history book” They both miss the point and have also not “cracked open a history book” And even if they had, the part of the country in which you obtain your education probably has it wrong but will also fail to adequately explain cultural and socio-economic relations between classes of people.
I love how passionate and angry he became for a moment when speaking of all the missed opportunity the world could have basked in to this day. Inventions, literature, even more music etc. This never even occured to me until now.
I'm laughing. The missed opportunity was Islam changed their stance on education in 1100. They were the world leaders - universities, algebra, astronomy.... imagine what the world lost? One noble prize winner.... and people are living the way they are.
Watching Feb 2024. Still trying to educate myself. I came from a family that was, let’s say, not so nice. I was never really TAUGHT about these important topics. I went to elementary school in a higher class suburb of Cleveland Oh, even tho I lived in Cleveland. And in those schools they skipped over a lot of this country’s important history. I’m just so sick of all of the separation and hate we face even today. We are all people, we should all be able to stand as one. Together arm in arm without judgement, prejudice or racism. I have hope for OUR country. We. Are. All. Equal.
i’d like to say how much I appreciate the kkk being referred to as a terrorist organization
@bill Johnson you are obviously in the KKK.

@bill Johnson how is the black panther party a terrorist organization all they were doing was defending themselves from police brutality and the KKK and how is BLM all they do is protest police brutality you're a southerner who thinks Confederate flag aren't offensive are you

This video was very, very enlightening. This kind of info we really don't hear in public schools or even some college. I stayed glued to this. Hung on to every word. Thanks for posting Keith Hughes.
Racism is still here
I Cook Ravioli and You Watch Me Cook Ravioli Probably so, but I'd bet that it's watered-down.

Those Democrat's, never stop rolling that racist ball. Their goal is to divide. Most Trump supporters would agree, that we love "all" #Americans This war "now" is not about black and white, but a war about #USsovereignty vs. #Globalism
And then they say, “everything isn’t always about race”
Using absolutes such as "always" and "never" is not clear thinking.
Jane Young @ Exactly
I do not ?NOT want to share anything of mine with you ??? And I do not want to share your wife ????
Jane Young it’s fine to use always and never if it’s precluded by everything or nothing. Those are absolutes which then the absolute of always or never negates the primary absolute of everything or nothing making it no longer absolute.
Who is "they?
I am watching this outside the US and I searched this term "Jim Crow" because I heard it so many times... After watching this video all I can say is that the US has come from very far thanks to all the good people who fought for equality and justice in all races. Without people who stood for what is right imagine how bad the lives of millions of people would have been. The black people have it a lot better; but there are still some areas where I can see there is a modern Jim Crow like the justice system. There are also many groups who want things to stay the same, as it is still common to see groups who are against black people who demand equality like groups who are against BLM movement or the Race Theory... all in all though things are million times better than before thanks for great people who fought for change.
I went through segregation with one of my really young students (around 7-8 yrs old) and she thought that it was made up cause of the things that were done as a whole. Its amazing that the kids now, even when I was young, are horrified that humans threated each other that way. Definitely a good sign of the future.
Unfortunately some states don’t want to teach that segregation even happened to the same kids ages they’re trying to “protect”. It would be too much for their children. And my response is it wasn’t too much for Ruby Bridges and all the children that went through it?
Bring back segregation 🤘🏻🇬🇧

In today’s society, like anytime in history, it’s boils down to what one needs to do to ensure one’s survival.

It just seems insane that this was acceptable within living history. Not only is it almost incomprehensible that people thought like this, it’s also hard to believe that public opinion has changed so much in such a short time
At the age of 82 I can confirm that all that was said about the inhuman treatment of black Americans was true, I witnessed most of it in person. We desperately need a push to educate and not allow to have this part of history to br forgotten or worse, to not even have it known.
You witnessed it?did you not experience it then?or is that what you meant.

So true rooted and grounded in the democratic party, and 50 yrs later blacks still vote for them year after year. SMH
I love this. Straight information. Not indoctrination or misinformation. (that I can tell as yet). This video has spawned a pretty massive research project. This is the 'systemic racism' that we are now digging out by the roots. Not by destroying cities or creating 'safe spaces'; but standing together, getting educated on TRUTH and FACT, and becoming successful together. Admitting when we are wrong. And admitting that HATING OTHERS IS INSANE, that if you HATE another race: YOU are wrong, confused, and turned away from Love.
The scary thing is they figure they had all rights to treat black people or native American or Latinos or Asían people how ever they choose. I feel bad for blacks and other ethnic groups who faced them. Horrible people.
Facts on facts.
I only had a vague understanding of the Jim Crow laws and reconstruction was a void in our US History classes. Thank you for producing this!
I believe that the history of Jim Crow needs to be taught in detail to high school students and see where the nexus of racism began and those who were brave enough to take it on.
They won't teach this in school because it makes white's look bad.
won't teach it cuz it makes democrats look bad, thats why so many people, have no clue to real history, and think democrats are on their side.
Exactly.
79bnice. They don’t teach it in school because it makes democrats look bad. The history of Jim Crow is the history of the Democrat Party.
Check out pastor Omar Thibeaux he explains all of this.
I learned more in 17 minutes than in all of my History classes.
@Rich Sullivan there is nothing more sheepish then the utter garbage you just wrote. Your party affiliation doesn't exempt you from racism, are you crazy? 😂😂😂
It really saddens me to hear that you learned so little. could it be that you were not into learning at that time? Perhaps you have reached a level of maturity that allows you to really consider what was being taught. for many cutting class or harmones could be to blame. "History is sooo boring" is what I heard no matter how creative one attempted to be in presenting information.
Rich Sullivan let me help you
1. In the 1800’s were most democrats in the south and republicans in north? YES
2. Were the democrats in the south confederates? YES
3. Did the confederates love enslavement of blacks? YES
4. Who in 2020 still support confederates? People from the south? YES
5. And what political party are those people from the south affiliated with? REPUBLICAN PARTY
6. Why? Because in the MID 20th century THE PARTIES FLIPPED! And the north became mostly Democrat

@@mariewheeler6522 schools do not go onto this much detail about racism. My 4th black teacher was reprimanded for going into detail about slavery because this goes against the school curriculum.

Great video! I always like to refresh my memory on social issues that are relevant even today. Thank you
Thank you. I was born in 1857 and though I've known and read about "Jim Crow Laws" since I could read, I can say this is about as concise an explanation as I've ever seen regarding it. Thanks!
There is no logical or moral reason this sick shit should have ever took place.
agree on the moral side but the logical side is pretty real = POWER
The only one to blame for that is the people in power only a sheep would shift that blame.
Theres a logicla reason. If you elevate yourself over others as a group for example the made up white race, than you are atleast superior on the basis of your birth instead of what you achieve. A lot easier and stabler of an existence right? Humans all have about the same needs. Some people are just better at dehumanizing other parties than others.
ALL of this disgusting racial pain suffered by blacks was/is from demonrats! I would say read your history, but the dems are desperately trying to re-write it. From slavery, the kkk, Jim Crow, etc... the democrats are responsible!
In essence we all know black and whites alike that these laws are in place to disenfranchised black peoples so my question is
“How long do you plan to continue with this travesty before making right the wrongs done to Black Peoples?
I’m 41. They’ve kept a lot of this out of the history books when I was coming up. I’m still learning. At 41. I didn’t know there was a Black Wall Street until yesterday. Just found out about the Great Migration a few years ago so thank u for keeping us informed.

I didn't learn about Jim Crow in depth until college. It really needs to be taught earlier in high school, even if its not a deep dive. Its a missing area in the reason why there is a disparity between Black/white wealth, treatment, and the original cause of most of our problems
Some white people say "Slavery happened a long time ago! No one is around who was a slave or slavemaster!" and they're partially right. The period in history that affects Black people today is the JIm Crow era. They impeded and destroyed all of the progress made by the freeing of slaves from then until...Civil Rights in the 1960s??
Thats decades where Whites could legally get ahead while (most) Blacks her held down, held back. Some of us thrived but the majority of us were purposely held back
The mentality of Black inferiority and White Superiority was reinforced during the Jim Crow era, and continues to this day. Otherwise, wouldn't that belief have died out as ALL slavemasters and their families died decades ago?
I am in college now and am just now learning about all of this as well. I hate that my generation wasn't taught this stuff when I was in school.
Great video thank you for posting it. I'm a Spanish man born in the Bronx raised in New York City and I witnessed a lot of racial discrimination against black people and I remember my friends talk a lot of smack about black people and I have to say it it really bothered me a lot because I met some of the smartest and most wonderful black people in my life and I think to myself wow the people of the past were so Wicked and ignorant and I hope the new generation enter the future with a better mind a better heart and a better soul.

Storm Trooper that's not mans call!
Half black here. It made me very upset, very angry. Not towards white people as a race, but what was done and what is still being allowed.
It hurts so much because despite all of the things that have changed, the Jim Crow system is still active not only in America but even here in South Africa. It's a lot more passive now due to all the sacrifices and blood shed of Black people (and in my country even some white people) over the decades. But still today, the majority of white people truly believe they are superior to any and every other color group, even when they don't say it. They certainly show it.
Also I just found out from one of my white friends that he paid half the price of the exact same COMP TIA A+ IT qualification we are both studying right now in the very same class. In my last job, I was working with a white junior employee in the cyber security analysis department. He had no IT qualifications, I have a BSc Degree with an Masters in Artificial Intelligence. I had been working their 7 months, he had worked there for a month. Even though I and a few other people were teaching him his work (he was working under us) he was making R 7 000 more than any of us ($ 557.86 more)

My grandparents were alive when brown vs board of education took places. These changes didn't take place that long ago. Then we want to act like racism is gone. How is it gone when the people who were promoting racism, committing lynchings, lived during segregation and etc are still living.
@rebnation ; Very few people who were adults or teens 70yrs ago (brown vs)are still alive today. Not all white southerners were racist many had to keep their mouths shut because like conservatives( white&black) today , they are bullied and harassed by liberals /progressives for being pro free speech pro America , pro Isreal ETC! Civil rights activist were extremely brave in the 40s/50s to march in the south.I went to the national Civil Rights Monument in Montgomery Alabama recently and was proud to see a beautiful monument honoring civil rights heroes in America ,many of these martyrs where white!! Yes theres a lot of history that gets bypassed in school!

Sounds 1 sided. Segregation in the north was somehow different. Should have spent more time on reconstruction.
Because the teachers union officials, school administrators, and DOE bureaucracy are powerful Democrat constituencies. They can get their agents elected using the Democrat brand name, and those same politicians who run as Democrat block competition in the marketplace and public services. That's why you're forced to pay 2-5 times as much for most of these services.
Damn i was hella blessed my high school social studies teacher taught us all of this. Shoutout Dr. Aragon!
Dude you funny! Same goes both ways no days!
What school? District
We’ll she didn’t really ever put politics into any of it, which i was okay with. But, simply just knowing that folks were treated in this regard was the largest basis of her teachings. She wanted all of her students to be aware of the atrocities that minorities have faced. This is in Pueblo, Colorado District 60. I went to central high school all 4 years and i had the pleasure of having Dr. Aragon for my first 3 years. I feel like most of this was taught in US History 2 and Chicano Studies as well.
I think she didnt bring politics into it because it was a high school class filled with kids that hardly gave a shit about her message so she wanted us to understand the simplicities of what happened rather than teaching us politics for hundreds of years ago. 🤷🏽♂️

I've heard the term "Jim Crow laws" so many times, and still I assumed that Jim Crow was probably some racist politician who named these laws.... I've had to actively search these videos to get some explanation.
Bro I thought that to back when I was in in school some guy name Jim
So did I.
Exactly what I thought!
The term Jim Crow Laws was coined by a NY journalist in 1890s. My take on Jim Crow the character is it wasn't a flattering character however at the time in my opinion based on certain things such as the character being referenced in Uncle Tom's Cabin ( the second largest English language book sold in the 1800s behind the Bible , the most famous piece of abolishionist fiction based on reality), I don't think the character was particularly offensive. If you were to apply such a standard today the gangsta rappers make the black minstrel shows which were also performed by black people look decisively polite and non offensive. I am waiting for the outrage against the modern day performers who are in reality far more offensive. Do I think gangsta rap should be banned no but it should be seen for what it is and hopefully most people consider it fantasy.
What's in a name? Jim Crow laws were also called Black Laws or Black Codes especially in the Northern states where they existed before, during and even after the so-called Civil War. They were legal codes to discourage even free blacks from moving into and settling into Northern states or making black residents ineligible to vote.
Like Ohio and or Illinois as two examples: slavenorth.com/ohio.htm
www.lib.niu.edu/1996/iht329602.html
It is good to know historical facts about slavery so we never let it happen again. Today Racial issues aren't relevant due to the laws against discrimination. No one should be worried about being able to achieving the American Dream. The media is always announcing racial issues in a generalized way, but they don't give any facts. Always avoid issues of stupidity. Just be a productive member of society, live a good life and have fun, you only get one chance.

Really? Then probably you don't know that Mississippi ratified the thirteenth Amendment until 1995. So, in a way, slavery was still legal there some 130 years after it was abolished. "Missing paperwork" was the excuse(!).

Dang I'm black and some of the stuff you said I didn't even know because our schools don't teach us this stuff. I think we should have to learn history from all races because this is America it's not only white people who live here.
I had a similar experience as a Latina learning about Latin America. When I studied in London for a year I had the best and complete history/political/business education on Latin America and why each country got where it is today - not only Mexican Migration to US but all the countries

I still can't believe that this was the United States and the KKK still exists today. Just to see what Happened to George Floyd by the hands of a law enforcer says a lot and it saddens me for the black community in the United States.
"Inequality and racism exist not because of evil but because the unaffected majority put their interests above all others, and their inaction allows inequality to flourish. That is why I believe that silence in the presence of injustice is as bad as injustice itself. White people who are quiet about racism might not plant the seed, but their silence is sunlight." - Michael Harriot
They benefit. So to stay silent is in their best interests.
Condoning in silence to not bare any responsibility is their play being called.
The morally insufficient comments tells you how america feels about BLACK PEOPLE.
I use to always thought Jim Crow was a person.

Yawn
Yes it is! Now, if ONLY all the negroes in America alone just wake up, recognize who we are "for real", let go of the European ways of being taught! stop allowing our children to be continually taught the same lies generation after generation; with all this TRUE information out here ! We have become just like them in our communities, lack of morals, values and most importantly LOVE!
God is allowing the USA to destroy itself. God is not blessing this country. What you sow, you reap.

thanks so much for this teaching I'm a black woman and didn't know any of this and it's sad to say
Thank you for explaining where the term "Jim Crow" came from. I had heard this term many many times and knew what the laws did, but not how the term got its name.
Try reading--the answers are all in books. Moron.
He sounds like and looks like Jerry Springer- Jerry Springer Jr. with the "Final Thought". I can't shake it. I LOVE his commentary! - NO SHADE
I personally think he looks like and sounds a little like Tom Arnold.
Lol you know u threw the shade lol
Looks kinda like him too 😂
We get it:). He kinda does. :)
Now that you said it I can’t unsee it lol
I wondered for awhile. When I was married in 1966 my Great Uncle who lived in rural Jones County Mississippi could only imagine that I needed my chickens to start my family. He was going to send them to me as he couldn’t imagine a city that didn’t have chickens. That part of my family would not have passed a sophisticated literacy test. But I loved them.
There is no video linked in the description, now what?
My civics teacher is talking about how other teachers sugar coat this or brush over it because they don’t want to offend people, but if your reaction is anything but appalled then there is something wrong.
You mean offend white people, right? Funny how white people have the privilege to be offended by their history...
Holo Glitter isn't lying or not telling the whole truth just as offensive?
Adam Price when you cant rewrite history resort to writing silly shit in youtube comments...

Silly youtube videos deserve nothing more than silly youtube comments.
Adam Price if revealing troubling truths equates to silly for you it is what it is. Just to warn you there is a lot more silliness out there that you've probably relied upon as self esteem builders.
My entire perception of everything has drastically changed in the past month thanks to finding information like this.
Feel Guilty yet

Nice Job! You made it very easy to understand.

I’m Haitian, when I first started learning about Jim Crow back in 7th grade I never understood it since in Haiti we didn’t really these experiences since we had independence since 1804. Even though we had independence France & America still make us suffer to this day. My teacher taught us some of this in 7th grade since it was a predominantly black school she took the risk by teaching us more about this. I was not that old and I had very little knowledge about Black history in the. All we learned in school in Haiti was Haitian history and world history at a very young age. I knew Europeans countries connected to slavery. When I learned about Black American history it bring out anger out me sometimes I would cry while search on the internet, especially when we read Emmett Till. But now I’m older more older, more influenced by history. I’m basically used to the system if evil.
itsjustaguy -Emmett Till is unfortunate - however , only elitist care about segregation , power and cheap labor - everyday folks just care about family , work, bills, fun, food and to be around people who won’t harm them or their possessions . I have white folks and blacks folks and everything in between in my family -we Colombians -and no one plays the race game there- it’s about social economics - let us not let the elitist influence us into caring about what they care about - in the end -there are good folk and bad folk regardless of gender , sex, race, blood type , religion , politics, nationality ,etc,etc, etc

Salute to African Americans who had to fight and are fighting this injustice
✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
What injustice ?
SHUT UP AHOLE IF YOU WERE BORN BACK THEN YOU WOULD HAVE GONE ALONG LIKE THEY DID YOU SANCTIMONIOUS, SELF RIGHTEOUS F
We been fighting our whole lives... it’s exhausting but we are amazing people
Well the first effort has to be to educate the masses. If public schools don't teach our real history then we are all at a disadvantage. We can't improve anything when we deny it's existence. If Betsy DeVos was a real human she could spearhead that. Get new history books written and approved immediately.
What's scary is how recent all of this is
As a Canadian I had no idea what Jim Crow really meant... thanks for sharing some significant history.
It’s kinda sad that people are only educating themselves about their own country’s racist history because they watched “this is america” 🤦🏽♀️
Makiya Jackson agreed but I’m glad that it’s happening. It’s amazing how many Americans don’t know the history. I always say that majority of blacks under the age of 30 don’t know our history. Also, majority of white Americans 50 and under don’t know this history because of white flight after integration.
This should be apart of the citizenship process in the US for all immigrants so that it puts thing in perspective so when they see the minority non progressive black people they don’t judge so harshly.
Yeah take a win any way can get it
what is "this is america" Is it on UA-cam also?
yeah it's insult to injury to look down on black people for getting here through a black man's work of art. lots of laws, mores, folkways, money and power went into holding us down. I praise the fact that we actually managed to wake up IN SPITE OF all that was done to keep us pinned down.
It tells you a lot about this lost generation.
I agree with you that knowing about the Jim Crow era in this country should be a requirement! I find that time in our history shameful and disgusting, but also am proud of the changes made (and still being made) during the Civil Rights Movement. I showed this video to my 9th graders and while fast, it helped answer many of their questions other sources were unclear about. Thank you for the video.
You should not have shown this video to your class. It is incomplete and misleading. Or is that your point?
Dude, it goes waaaay deeper. Convict leasing, redlining, land,property and business theft/destruction, drugs and guns brought in during the Nixon Administration thru the present, targeting by the criminal justice system. This has made us an economic underclass and without reparations, it aint lookin pretty. Simply knowing about this history aint enough. What are you gonna DO about it?
@esaesa07 I know right, what changes???, ...lol white people are too funny, talking about he's proud!!
There is no change. Bug shame and your race will be judge by the right time.
thank you. i’m black and never learned about black history in America.
I want to thank you for this informative video I went to high school history class & now am in college & still have never heard this. It's unconceivable that our countries still attempting to keep this from us. But not really surprised
This, is Still Happening in the 21st Century!
👍🏿. The truth cannot be hidden forever. It WILL COME OUT, by the hook or by the crook.
This was never hidden.
Demokkkratic party is trying to whitewash its past

"Understanding Jim Crow should be a requirement of citizenship". I'm Canadian but having spent some time in the States, I agree with this 💯. I just did a video on the first black heavyweight champion Jack Johnson who rose to the title at the height of the Jim Crow era. So incredible given the history outlined here. New sub! Thanks for the video!
No it shouldn't stay in Canada we don't want you!
@@oliverphippen1957 "behaviour requirement" what a joke, the reason the black community still struggles to this day is because of what Jim Crow did to generations of blacks. Could you imagine how much more prosperous the country would be if after Slavery, they decided to educate the 20% of blacks in the country and not segregate them into Ghettos and destroy/assassinate their businesses and leaders when they became influential and prosperous?
Colour Commentary I hope you noticed the long term psychological effects on Mr. Johnson. This phenomenon of self-loathing and actively seeking that type of wife to procreate with continues... it’s kind of like self induced genocide.
For real, we have little to none education on black history, and Native American history. It’s crazy how much this country suffers from white savoir syndrome.
I was 12 when I was chased by a mob of white (grown and young) men in Oak Park Illinois in the 70s.
An elderly white woman saved me. She screamed at the mob as I cowered on her porch.."yall leave that boy alone!"
She allowed me to go through her home and out the back door to get back to my aunts home.
My aunt was one of the first black families to live in that racist town. It still bothers me to this day because I sometimes can still sense that fear I had as a child of being hunted by the slavemaster and his mob.
I struggle today because of what happened with believing that whites and blacks worship the same God.
I don't think the thugs that chased you worshipped any sort of God. They sound more like devil worshippers to me.
@Carl Grove it's an easy way to look at it to deal with their hatred. But I'm sure that they considered themselves to be Christians with all that hatred dwelling in them.
Overall, today I'm good because I know the truth. Yet I still think of that moment and it makes me think of my children who most likely have dealt with such hatred.
@@caspercares4131 Yes, bizarre how monsters can regard themselves as "good," but then so did the Nazis! Genuinely spiritual people never see themselves as good, because they are aware of all their flaws. Terrible that you had to go through that experience though.
@@miatap21 You express it very well. The thing that most confuses me as an English observer is that the US was allegedly founded on the principles that "all men are created equal." If that is so, how did such awful discrimination begin? And if it was accepted, then why was your constitution not amended accordingly?
@@miatap21 It's such a blatant and ludicrous contradiction!
Is Jim Crow a reference to legacy attitudes, and legacy political strongholds? I don't quite get it. I mean when is that figure of speech used?
Malcom X finally educated himself when in prison. We don't need to be jailed to go to libraries. We need to educate ourselves.
zelen plav
How many blacks choose to go to libraries to self educate. Too busy on street corners smokin da weed.
Mike Tyson did too
@Freethinkers yes and by his own people, Good Gawd !

Malcom X was around Elijah Muhammad long enough to make a name for himself once he felt that he was bigger,than he no longer needed him.
Dude popped up out of nowhere looking like Tom Arnolds younger brother haha.😂
Although much smarter.
Who watching in 2023 because of Mississippi passing the Jim Crow law..
Good video.
Though reading through the comments and comments, in general, I feel like when someone tells you to “crack open a history book”
They both miss the point and have also not “cracked open a history book”
And even if they had, the part of the country in which you obtain your education probably has it wrong but will also fail to adequately explain cultural and socio-economic relations between classes of people.
Who's here cuz of This is america 👍

I love how passionate and angry he became for a moment when speaking of all the missed opportunity the world could have basked in to this day. Inventions, literature, even more music etc. This never even occured to me until now.
Yeah,passionate and angry……for a moment…….WOW.
I'm laughing. The missed opportunity was Islam changed their stance on education in 1100. They were the world leaders - universities, algebra, astronomy.... imagine what the world lost? One noble prize winner.... and people are living the way they are.
What about women? That's a much greater loss, in scope I mean.
What invention? How come Free Africans didn’t invent anything? We keep kidding ourselves! Why are we not inventing anything now? Cuz we can’t!
Speaking of the Montgomery bus boycott, they’d say “I ain’t getting on that bus until Jim Crow gets off.”
Watching Feb 2024. Still trying to educate myself. I came from a family that was, let’s say, not so nice. I was never really TAUGHT about these important topics. I went to elementary school in a higher class suburb of Cleveland Oh, even tho I lived in Cleveland. And in those schools they skipped over a lot of this country’s important history. I’m just so sick of all of the separation and hate we face even today. We are all people, we should all be able to stand as one. Together arm in arm without judgement, prejudice or racism. I have hope for OUR country. We. Are. All. Equal.
