unidee617 at first I thought you were being harsh and unreasonable...but actually you are right...we should search..it is our responsibility to learn as clearly history tells us they keep this from us. Thank you
+MG1387 Yes, and some barn living idiot like LBJ and his wife were jealous of her and racist, I always thought he was in on the assassination of JFK, so him having Eartha ostracized does not surprise me, but she got the last laugh.
Yes I agree, she was a powerful Character Woman ....it's amazing that we had a lady in Mexico that talks like her poses like her, and they stand for the same values ...her name is Maria Felix ..
marvin s AMERICA DID EXACTLY THE SAME WITH MUHAMMAD ALI, AFTER HE WON A GOLD MEDAL AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES FOR BOXING HE WAS THE AMERICAN HERO BUT WHEN HE SPOKE OUT ABOUT THE YANKEE INVASION OF VIETNAM AND REFUSED TO FIGHT QUOTE " THEM LITTLE YELLOW FELLAS DIDN'T INVADE MY COUNTRY, SO I'M NOT GONNA FIGHT THEM," UNQUOTE. THE GOVERNMENT TOOK HIS BOXING LICENSE AWAY FROM HIM AND STOLE THE MOST IMPORTANT YEARS OF HIS CAREER FROM THAT BRAVE BEAUTIFUL MAN MUHAMMAD ALI.
Among some of us, Muhammad Ali enjoyed respect all along not just at the end. This is because he spoke candidly about racism in America and the hypocrisy of sending young, African American men to fight a dirty war while those same young men were not treated like human beings right here in America!!!
Black women, we will always be seen as "the aggressors." Ms. Kitt never attacked Mrs. Johnson. But once again, she was a black woman spoke out and was seen as making the non black woman "cry."
It's sad that a lot of Black entertainer's had to move to Europe to get a way from racism. Josephine Baker and Nia Simone both moved for that same reason.
atlsong byrd Indeed...unfortunately...artists that we european reveared and perceived as an iconic part of contemporary american culture...that's why they were welcomed, praised and thrived here...although there's racism everywhere, we never quite understood why white America never fairly and justly treated these gifted people...All-true-americans even way before the civil rights movement and their full citizen rights were finally granted...sad...and still...nowadays white americans put them social segregation labels as the "african american" bull***...which is ultimately wrong, at least, for instance in Eartha's case...
Not necessarily...Nina Simone moved because after she got addicted to drugs she couldn’t get work in the us...Europe was the only place that was willing to still listen to her but eventually even that stopped
atlsong byrd This has absolutely NOTHING to do with race and more about speaking out against the government and communism paranoia on the part of the government during the 1950s and 1960s. Stop making everything about race and learn legitimate history.
I met her once, she had such a presence! I didnt even know whom she was. I was at work, working as a Sales Rep-Fashion Jewelry at the Fashion Mart in Los Angeles. I approached her, and asked if I could help her, she said" Yesss!" (Excitedly), I laughed....she then said, "Do you know who I am?" I replied, "No,"... Then she replied, "I'm the cat woman rrrrrrrrrrr...." I laughed and said, "Oh, Wow," she then said, "Darling, your too young to recall," I continued to help her...she needed jewels for a trip....She was sweet and entertaining as a customer❤😊❤
Ruth Schanuth ❤️❤️❤️ This anecdote about here really warms my heart. I feel so much love for Eartha Kitt, as a woman, a human being. Something about her feels somehow kindred to me. Inspiring to me. Reading about how she was as a customer and as a person toward you was great.
She was a great and honorable woman! I loved her and bought all of her music! I don't give a shit if they were offended or not she was correct! The best part is she never backed down! I give her great credit even though it hurt her career!
Yes, she didn't regret what she said, stood firm and never backed down! Some people, would have to stay in the limelight. But her morals and values, were important to her. She took a short hiatus, then finally came back. More beautiful and bold, very sexy. I miss Eartha Kitt. She was truly legendary. 🙏🏽🐈⬛🖤
Eartha Kitt was one of the strongest, most elegant, profound, beautiful heroes of our time and we should study her and learn from her...and try our best to be even a little like her...she, like all heroes, put her life on the line and paid the price for speaking the truth....
Im 73 and only just finding out the truth and the political history of the White House of the early years that had gone by. Shocking! Utterly deplorable. I am certain there are more ugly facts that still remain hidden and secret.
Melanie Ayako look at her daughter, she looks full white blonde hair blue eyes so earth Kitt' s dad was german and her mom was black. her child is black/white and full white= a basic white lady. Look at the document
Her voice there is a performance voice not her real speaking voice. She was never around her supposed father to pick up any accent in dusty old Orangeburg, South Carolina. It sounds like she adopted some of Marlene Dietrich's mannerisms.
That's why you dont send your kids to public school. My kids knew about MLK before they knew about Columbus. They knew about the Indians before they knew about the pilgrims. They know the good had and ugly.
@@marikiemarie7622 imagine being so privileged that you tell others to simply "send them private/charter" not all of us have 1000s of dollas lying around for tuition Patty. Not all of us have the ability to just pull our kids to another school. Instead of criticizing the education system by telling others what to do about, mabye YOU should help to actually correct the system you hate so much, ACTUALLY help the people who are struggling Instead of yourself. Also private schools often teach a white washed, Christian version of the truth. And finally we are not "indians" we are indigenous people. Dont give us the name that was forced apon us by the white man.
Iluv2bblk impossible just by looking at her you can see she is mixed race that's ridiculous she is half German or some kind of European with skin that light how can she possibly be pure African to me she looks Hispanic like my family you got plenty of Eartha's in Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic
I always loved you .. I’m a 70 yr old white Woman raised in the south and I always felt you were more a true spirit trapped in a human body .. hope you are resting with the angels as you so rightly deserve!!
It sickens me that Harry Belafonte told her he couldn’t be with her because ‘ a black woman couldn’t do anything for him or to advance his cause. Black men in the movement have been the most disappointing
He also spoke in DC and the first thing he said was he couldn't stand a certain famous African-Americans woman in a full room of mixed company. I was shocked and horrified. What a disgrace!
I saw her in Timbuktu on broadway, they gave her the most heartwarming standing ovation i had ever seen. I was so happy for her, Benedict College honored her (so sorry i could not be there) my alma mater and the write up stated she was humbled by the love, she is an American treasure, and recently President Obama visited Benedict College, so proud. I adore this woman because her life was a real struggle yet she didn't give up, what an inspiration to the youth of today.
Chris Harris you become a targeted individual and you are gang stalked by the government and the community.have been experiencing this sick,fucked up phenomena for the past 9yrs.
Colin Kapernick is a bad example of the injustice you're citing. He is free to do or say anything he wants while making his 9 million dollar salary. People pay a lot of money to go to a football game and it's not because they want to see their country trashed by a spoiled brat. no matter what color they are.
Eartha Kitt was amazing. She was incredibly smart, was extremely courageous, generous and beautiful to boot. She also didn't take crap from anybody. They don't make very many people like her.
This little lady was a great giant, with a wealth of intellect and talent, and most of us didn't even know it till she was gone. Thank you Eartha for all you've done and tried to do to make the world a better place.
I saw her in person at the Village Halloween parade. She walked through the crowd and no one bothered her. But I recognized her. She was wearing a turban. Great lady!
Really? Eartha Kitt on Bruce Springsteen: "I think that Springsteen is playing into the hands of the enemy," she said. "I think that it is wrong for us to stand on a stage where people have paid to hear us sing or play an instrument and entertain them - it is the wrong place for politics. But if you ask me a question, if I was in the dressing room, I would give you an opinion.'
This woman is so fucking brave, pardon my language!! I absolutely love her!! None of the current black celebrities would ever do that! She is one of my role models!
Simple, a "privileged white woman," (Mrs. Johnson) couldn't stand to see a black woman, star celebrity, express reality instead of kissing up to her. This is absolutely sad, and this has made people love and admire Ms. Kitt even more today....
“Let’s talk about whatever it is that is of the botheration you your conscious”. I just love hear her speak. I admire her ability articulate her thoughts and feelings in such a elegant way.
Eartha Kitt has lived a life of strength this is what it takes someone to speak the truth and it's unpopular with the masses like Eartha Kitt did the world would be a better place may God give her Eternal peace and rest bless her soul 💚
I wonder if she misspoke and meant FBI? CIA would be more in the international arena normally, but then, in the 50s and 60s they got all mixed together. “We’re all in the same alphabet soup” as the line goes in North by Northwest.
7:10-8:00 hit me hard... seems so true with some people, but especially with Eartha. It explains a lot about her, her songs , and her perception on life. I love her so much
Please America this woman should have had a statue or school named after her. She had balls of steel! No woman or even a man could have spoke up thus strong black woman who did not use color to succeed but never forget to help those suffering from oppression.
Holy shit is she an insightful human being and fucking self-aware. She is the embodiment of empathy. She can put herself in the position of everyone in the room.
I can totally relate to this story. I know everything about being targeted. And when sociopaths on high places make you their target ....well there is nothing you can do. What a strong woman she was.
The way the whyte guy looked at her when she spoke out at the luncheon was so evil but here stare she gave him back was priceless!! I think he was johnson
Common black man, bro. And she's mixed which makes it super awesome. Unfortunately many black women today can't see the plot against black men the way Eartha did. She really put it all on the line even though her father was white.
She is beautiful, elegant, intelligent and sincere and wise. I had not seen information about her, but I know that she lived unforgettable moments with James Dean, it can be noted that they are people of a very special spiritual level.
Only recently found out about this. I now have a new curiosity about her as I never thought the cat woman on batman show was also this beautiful human being .
Whenever I see my family members speak truth to power... (Direct truth... She was there) I know clearly overstand rhe concept of sharing truth with the masses! It Is Not Allowed. For if you share truth that goes against the idea the divided states of america would love its image to be, u are #silenced. Love you cousin! I thank you for bringing & beinging the joy our family needed. Miss u forever & a day! ❤💃❤💃❤👁
Johnson was notorious for targeting people who did not follow the “company line” about the war and his policies at the time. Also, I’m pretty sure the fact that she was black had something to do with it. It was a gross injustice what Johnson and the the First Lady did to Eartha. I hope they both are turning over in their graves. They certainly don’t deserve eternal peace.
She stood and fought for justice when no one else had the courage to stand with her and speak out, and use her power, to help end a war that the US never should have fought in the first place. The Vietnam War was " the wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place," as General James Gavin, US Army, (ret.), 82nd Airborne commanding general, said in 1966, and there were Americans with Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh in 1945--Major Patti and the Deer Team---who stated to Truman's State Department in fall 1945 that there was no way we should back the French coming back to power in Indochina. God bless Eartha Kitt. God hates cowards and liars, and she is neither, she was brave when we needed people to stand and fight against the Vietnam War and end it.
Im 30 and never knew this happened to her. This is the type of history they dont teach us.
sincerre 4real Neither did I️ , & I️ am 40
no excuse. everyone has access to a public library and black older people. if you aren't getting it, get out and get it.
brownin329 how are you supposed to know to “get out and get it” if you don’t know to get out and get it???? Doesn’t make sense.
unidee617 at first I thought you were being harsh and unreasonable...but actually you are right...we should search..it is our responsibility to learn as clearly history tells us they keep this from us. Thank you

We can be taugh something,,, BUT YOU DO LEARN IN LIFE

Earth Kitt was a strong, outspoken, and intelligent woman.
+MG1387 Yes, and some barn living idiot like LBJ and his wife were jealous of her and racist, I always thought he was in on the assassination of JFK, so him having Eartha ostracized does not surprise me, but she got the last laugh.
+martha jane EARTHA KITT WAS THE DIVA WHO PUT LADY BIRD IN HER SPACE&TIME.
The Capricorn woman
She exudes feminity.... strong womanhood.
She represents the " Truth" and she would be the 1st to agree with that. Truth doesn't have a " gender"!
true dat!
Yes I agree, she was a powerful Character Woman ....it's amazing that we had a lady in Mexico that talks like her poses like her, and they stand for the same values ...her name is Maria Felix ..
She is THE WOMAN ~ wish
Miss Kitt was still with US here to help us solve the El Paso Massacure! And give Trump a good SCHOLDING😤!
She exudes love, strength and compassion all at once.
I love how she speaks. It's so unique

Too- shay Ms. Eartha Kitt for speakin up for the Inner City people in the USA✊💫✌🌻
Her stories should be made into a Hollywood movie... Astonishing..!
Calvin Teh they should make a movie about her life story
tiffanchamberlain indeed... definitely about her life story...
Calvin Teh most definitely they need to get that into production ASAP
Calvin Teh yes what I think too.
Calvin Teh I think teraji p Henson would play her well

@@desireespence2317 Girl same. White corporate is the main place where this happens with black women smh. Everything is taken to offense.
Given Earthas demeanor I imagine she was calm but firm as she spoke. But she dared to be a black woman who spoke out to white southerners
Google “White Woman’s Tears”. It’s a whole phenomena, been researched and everything.

they say "incident" as if she did something wrong
According to them she did....I guess they thought she was gonna show up and not say nothing. Little did they know they had the right one that day
Well, if it was an incident, it wasn’t Eartha who made it one.
It's always an incident when certain women speak
I swear she was a cat in her past life
lol
True!!
Kita Lorraine Meow. :D
I think of a cute troll doll. She's absolutely adorable.
Catherine Mathers the words cute and troll don't go together 😒. I find what you said disrespectful, she was beautiful
She was always so spiritual. She ate organic foods before it was even popular.
All food was organic (unaltered) until fairly recently.
GMOs weren't on the market until 1994, so pretty much everyone did
kissit012 must be nice. Raw foods are so hard to find in the grocery stores
Organic food was all there was in her day. She grew up in North Carolina, everything came from a farm.
" you laugh it off.. and go to Europe" BIG MOOD
"What's that got to do with the CIA if I was?" Hahaha gotta love her
Larry O That look ! That slight row of the neck ? Row of the neck , with class tho . The interviewer knew she fucked up , and agreed . lmao !
This woman was a special, once-in-a-lifetime integration of grace, beauty, courage, and intelligence. They feared her.
Her voice is so beautiful and entrancing just speaking
WateverWatever04, I'm annoyed by here voice. But a great lady
This is a classic and profound part of American History and a part of Ms. Eartha Kitt's history!

Me as a 27 years old black man, mrs Kitt is the type of person I aspire to be.
“Let’s talk about whatever it is that is of the botheration you your conscious”. I just love hear her speak. I admire her ability articulate her thoughts and feelings in such a elegant way.

Am I the only that noticed when the interviewer said at 7:08 "wait let's stop..."what was eartha gonna reveal?! Classic
Oh yeah she was going to reveal something and she stopped her.
Right i noticed that as well
+naturalLady28 she was talking about the CIA file she mentioned before nothing that she hadn't talked about...
She did mention it later what the CIA man said had wanted her permission to print what they had found.

And when sociopaths on high places make you their target ....well there is nothing you can do.
What a strong woman she was.
KITT. THE POWER OF PRAYER AND FAITH WILL GET ONE THRU ANY OBSTACLE. YOU ARE WERE LIVING PROOF OF PERSEVERANCE
All of her mannerisms remind me of older Whitney Houston. Through and through.
@11:34 ..U can (always) feel when some "foreign spirit" has entered your space.. Prolific

Damn she’s speaking facts 💖💖
The way the whyte guy looked at her when she spoke out at the luncheon was so evil but here stare she gave him back was priceless!!
I think he was johnson
They tried to tells us "we" were immoral; reality says otherwise.
“the whyte guy”? That was the President of the United States.
@@californiaslastgasp6847 Yes, THE WHITE GUY, among many other words!
Eartha Kitt is a national treasure!
International treasure
She worked a lot in Europe after that. I remember seeing her in British movies and TV in the 70s
They black balled this woman for speaking the truth and her mind ? Bugged her phone and investigated by the CIA ? FOR WHAT ? C'MON MAN.
Common black man, bro. And she's mixed which makes it super awesome. Unfortunately many black women today can't see the plot against black men the way Eartha did. She really put it all on the line even though her father was white.
@@Second_Wind9 I absolutely agree with that , thanks.
White tears. Highly effective
A true legend!!!
Miss Kitt, stunningly beautiful, talented, passionate, brave, elegant, intelligent, articulate and all American Women.
She is beautiful, elegant, intelligent and sincere and wise.
I had not seen information about her, but I know that she lived unforgettable moments with James Dean, it can be noted that they are people of a very special spiritual level.
Only recently found out about this. I now have a new curiosity about her as I never thought the cat woman on batman show was also this beautiful human being .
Kimchiboy08 You and me both! I️ have been researching her all morning!
We lost a lot of Good Men in Vietnam War !!! Just like to days War ... Thank you 😊 for sharing , Bravo Bravo 🌹 Eartha Kitt . 💋
I have always thought she was fabulous...my favorite role of her's was in Disney's "The Emporor's New Groove".
Robyn Carlson Ioved the Yzma character
Whenever I see my family members speak truth to power... (Direct truth... She was there) I know clearly overstand rhe concept of sharing truth with the masses! It Is Not Allowed. For if you share truth that goes against the idea the divided states of america would love its image to be, u are #silenced. Love you cousin! I thank you for bringing & beinging the joy our family needed. Miss u forever & a day! ❤💃❤💃❤👁
Not Earthas fault that ladybird was made of fairy floss
She is a fascinating lady and I love to listen to her talk! Someone make a movie about her!!
...tiny things to a giant! Class.
Powerful statement
Johnson was notorious for targeting people who did not follow the “company line” about the war and his policies at the time. Also, I’m pretty sure the fact that she was black had something to do with it. It was a gross injustice what Johnson and the the First Lady did to Eartha. I hope they both are turning over in their graves. They certainly don’t deserve eternal peace.
Her life was so unfair she’s a true diamond 💎 May she Rest In Peace ... I wonder is her organization still around I can’t find too much info.
She stood and fought for justice when no one else had the courage to stand with her and speak out, and use her power, to help end a war that the US never should have fought in the first place. The Vietnam War was " the wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place," as General James Gavin, US Army, (ret.), 82nd Airborne commanding general, said in 1966, and there were Americans with Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh in 1945--Major Patti and the Deer Team---who stated to Truman's State Department in fall 1945 that there was no way we should back the French coming back to power in Indochina. God bless Eartha Kitt. God hates cowards and liars, and she is neither, she was brave when we needed people to stand and fight against the Vietnam War and end it.
