As a black male that doesn’t give AF about make up, my GF just got me hooked on your videos and I don’t think you know how necessary you are. I never miss one 👌🏾
The saddest part about this is there are so many towns where black people were thriving that have now been as I call hidden/erased from history. I am so glad there are so many people like Bailey doing research and educating us on all the parts of history that America tries so desperately to keep us from talking about. We need to understand the past so we can make sure we never allow this stuff to happen again. Education is power and that’s the one thing NO ONE can take away from you. Keep educating yourselves everyone and don’t ever stop questioning and taking it upon yourself to look things up.
I remember watching a documentary about the Pruitt Igoe projects…. And how strange and unjust it was. They wanted to move people of color from the suburbs into projects (I hope my memories right - pls watch the doc yourself). The absolute worst part of the entire thing is that it led to the now “black American dad story” of not being involved in their families lives. But! It wasn’t by choice. The families had to lie if their father did live with them and he would have to stay away during government check ins. Eventually the funding for these projects ran out as jobs left the city. Its an extremely emotional watch but educational. It’s been a few years since I watched it so I apologize if any information is off. Feel free to correct me & I will edit my comment.
@@briez9648 You're assuming she actually SAW your requests. She's a popular youtuber with tons of comments, i doubt she spends her day sifting through them all to find a single request.
I just saw this today and thought you'd appreciate it for this channel: "Studying history will sometimes disturb you. Studying history will sometimes upset you. Studying history will sometimes make you furious. If studying history always makes you feel proud and happy, you probably aren't studying history."
Bailey can you do a podcast about the boarding schools and all the Native American children they are finding in graves. People need to learn the truth about these boarding schools.
It could be that she was not having an affair and this was a plan she and the dude (and probably others) had set up to cause some problems, cause that big mob came in just a few days, which to me seems very quick
She may thought someone saw him come over and decided to start screaming so it would seem like an attack since word travels. May or may not have even been a black man. Who knows ? Karen's existed back then apparently.
I was literally like, “hasn’t she told this story before?” Because I’ve watched the Tulsa Race Massacre video. I find it so disturbing that it’s a completely different story but so similar and nothing was done about either times, plus it is hidden from the world practically. I’d never heard of them until Bailey. Disgusting. Thank you for videos like these though. It’s so important.
That's what I was thinking!! Took me a minute to realize it's a totally different story. So sad this happened once, let alone twice...and I'm sure many other times no one knows about.
And none of this is talked about even though it should because think about the karen video's half are like this but less severe. History repeats itself but if you talk about it we can see the signs.
I am Descendant of some of the rosewood survivors (beulah carrier-Sherman aka scrappy in the movie was my great great great grandma.) Thanks Bailey for shedding light on this. Not a lot of people know about it
Wow. My condolences to you and your ancestors. We need reparations for them (more than $100 smh) & so many others who suffered terrible tragedies like these.
@@BBB-rd2qi i mean yes, but these stories and the cases Bailey covers on Mondays are distinctly different. While true crime is comprised of various crime cases that have occurred throughout history, these history stories are bigger, involve more people, and generally have a broader influence. The history stories oftentimes don’t involve a “crime” in the sense that no one was criminally investigated, much less prosecuted and found guilty. Both are important and need to be shared - they’re just not exactly the same.
I'm glad she's spreading awareness of the horrific incidences that otherwise would not be recognized, or remembered by the public thanks to colonialism.
I grew up like an hour from Rosewood and we never learned about this. Which isn’t surprising given its Florida but every time I learn about something in history, that has been basically erased, I get so mad. Thank you for educating me so that I may better educate my son.
There is a movie about this. Its an old movie but most in the African American community watched it as kids. Even though its erased from school books, if more white ppl were willing to watch movies with AA characters or be okay with listening to AA people, maybe more wouldve been aware of what happened.
Why doesn't this woman have a tv series yet? This episode was not only funny, interesting, dark, AND educational but also just had a great well articulated message about keeping history honest. I love it so much
While I TOTALLY support the sentiment, if I were her I’d stay right where she’s at. She makes like all her profits and she has total creative freedom. Best place to be in my opinion. 🤔
Rest in peace to all the victims who lost their lives during this massacre. Their lives were lost because a white woman didn't want to admit she was having an affair. Disgusting
It used to happen all the time. Even children were hung for being inappropriate, as if a child would dare do something so foolish back then. Always to avoid public shame.
If i can remember correctly, i saw a case where a 14 year old black teenager was strapped to an electric chair and executed for being wrongly accused of something. His name was George Stinney
Can you do a “dark history” surrounding “residential schools/industrial schools/American Indian schools” in Canada they are now digging up around old schools and finding hundreds of unmarked graves of children as young as 3-4. This was overlooked for decades! Something to research !
@@jawaela she could have at least said it wasn’t the guy they blamed it on! If she was gonna lie, at least deny it was anyone you know or that they suspected. Eventually they just would have thought he was from “out of town”
As a black Florida native I learned the history of Rosewood when I was a little kid. That’s why Karens were so dangerous and still are. Thank you for telling this part of our history💛
@@mamat9067 it's hard to hear about it because they love keeping it a secret. We used to watch movies about it and that's how we'd find out. The ocoee I'm just hearing of... Goes to show and best believe there's hundreds more out there.
As a Black Floridian I’ve only ever heard about the Rosewood Massacre through my FAFSA application, and they didn’t even call it a massacre!! They were always super vague about it and I never thought to look it up for myself, thank you for talking about this 💛
@@elliemetz1887 Ohhh ok. I'm only 18 minutes into the video, but this comment was at the top so I read it and replied. I should've finished watching the video first. lol
I am crying like a baby. All those innocent people... I'm a black Floridian, and this is the first I'm hearing of what actually happened in Rosewood. Idk if Bailey knows just how special her videos are 💚
It says so much that they erase history like this. Is it because they're ashamed? They don't want the heat? Can't be because they're "not those people anymore" because those truly changed want to right their wrongs.
I am 60 years old. I have lived in Mississippi all my life. I’ve never heard of this massacre. It certainly was never taught in school. Thank you, Bailey Sarian for this very enlightening account of this tragedy.
Bailey: “ We have to make sure we keep history, and that we keep it honest and transparent because without that we are doomed to repeat it.” Yes, we need more of these.
I live in Florida and we DEFINITELY didn't learn anything about this. We also didn't learn about the Tulsa race massacre or the Native American boarding school's. Makes me realize how ridiculous schools are
They all but completely exterminated the Mohican tribe of indians as well. Today their is about 1500 left. About half of these people live on a reservation in Wisconsin.
See I must have lived in a bubble of reality growing up. We learned about all the stuff you mentioned. My mom was raised in Oklahoma and my grandfather worked for the federal government. His job was to give land back to Natives who asked for it.
I recently learned about thriving black communities that were flooded to make lakes. My ancestors will not be forgotten, even if they keep trying to erase us.
Born and raised in Florida and never learned about this in school. Even took an African American history class in high school and it was never mentioned. It wasn't until the movie Rosewood came out in the 90s that learned about the massacre. Literally NO ONE talked about it but if you asked an older black person they would usually know about it. The whole thing is so sad and bizarre.
Obviously you cannot learn the history of our ancestors from history books primarily written and published by white Americans…you always need to learn from from your Elders.
@nijuo joing Dude… are you a bot or something? There’s another person who has the EXACT same comment as you, only they made their 22 hours ago, and you made yours 9 hours ago.
Bailey, This was a horrible, horrible event but your storytelling abilities are exceptional and educating. I love all your videos but Dark History is a special treat. Thanks
What was the podcast about for #2? I don't really like listening to Podcasts and I prefer to watch them on UA-cam (I'm a visual learner). I agree that her storytelling abilities are amzaing. Many people would enjoy history more if they had a teacher like Bailey.
This is so heartbreaking. One lying, cheating person started a domino effect that destroyed a whole town and so many families lives. I truly believe they shall reap what they sow. Bailey I love the podcast and your backgrounds are beautiful! Love your outfit too! You do such a great job on these videos!
I don't know, I feel like they've all gotten away with it. No one was ever punished (besides the victims) and the perpetrators are mostly all dead. Yet the survivors & their descendants live with the scars. We need justice in a new way. Reparations, anyone?
Update - The family that bought last surviving home in Rosewood that survived the massacre, John Wright's house, was donated to the community by the family that purchased it. It will become a museum.
I learned about this in high school on my own. I grew up in a predominantly white town in rural north Florida. It’s maddening that the state is working so hard to keep such as race based parts of American history out of the classroom so white students don’t feel bad about their race. But what about minority students who’ve had to deal with those feelings for decades?
The overwhelming pattern of this kind of behavior goes beyond any human rationale. There were DOZENS of similar acts across the country in the time period that destroyed and disenfranchised Black populations for generations to come. The whole truth is the only way to heal
Right? There’s no way this happened just twice. Just look at the history of Central Park and all of the potential generational wealth and legacy that was just stolen from the black families that owned buildings there before it’s construction.
@@yourinnerlawyer4035 No, not the point.. she says it in quite a few videos that she doesn't do some stories because they're already so popular. In other videos she asks 'have you heard of them?' Therefore..
Hi Bailey! I'm hoping you see this but knowing that you have covered the Tulsa Race Massacre before, I was wondering if you would be interested in learning or covering the Wilmington Race Riot(Massacre) that happened in Wilmington NC back in 1989. It is something that has been really buried here in NC.. I was raised here and I just learned about it last week on a trip to the Poplar Grove plantation (which was known for being a Union loyal plantation until they were forced to succeed with the rest of the state.) The woman who led our tour had me in tears by the end and really expressed the true history of what went on at the plantation... it was an amazing experience. I would love for the sake of change and uncovering the history North Carolina is trying to bury.
Please Bailey, do something on the horribleness of Residential schools-especially in Canada. There’s a huge knowledge gap in the horrors. I love you!!! You’re amazing! Thanks for doing what you do!!!
@@OzmaOfOzz I don't recommend her video to be honest she ran a 3 minute long ad for glasses before that video on genocide and child kidnapping and torture and didn't link a single page to help raise money for the communities or families of those impacted. When I commented on her video and on Instagram asking her to donate a portion of the money she MADE OFF OF THAT VIDEO she ignored me. I've since unfollowed her. She care nothing for people and only wants $$$.
Miigwech for the suggestion! I would really appreciate Bailey covering this topic as she has a BIG fan base and this needs to be heard around the world!!!!!!!!!
I believe this also applies to the groups that want to tear down existing history or monuments. If they’re standing, people can point out the statues and explain why they exist.
As a black woman, I'm so grateful for you bringing attention to this part of history, please do more stories about the violence that was set upon black people and black communities. Love you Bailey!
I've now seen both the Tulsa massacre and now Rosewood. South Omaha, Nebraska (where I live) had 2 racially motivated fires. The first was in 1909 to drive out the Greek population in South Omaha. The second fire was in 1919 after the lynching of Will Brown, a black man wrongfully accused of r*ping a white woman. Even TODAY African-Americans living in Omaha all reside in the Northern part of Omaha.
I’ve heard of this story several times before, and each time it fills me with an overwhelming sense of dread and fear and astonishment. From Proudly being apart of the black community my heart breaks that we had to go through this. It started from a lie and then was escalated through racial motivations.
This episode hurt me to my core. The fact that there is still no recognition at this blatant hate massacre is baffling and quite honestly disgusting ! I couldn’t hold back tears picturing those poor children who had to hide for days in a swamp more than likely full of alligators.
Kudos not only for sharing this story but more importantly - for sharing the names of those who were lost. As long as we speak their names, they are remembered. Thank you for that.
Right? The number of people who I've heard say "Oh, it was just those 1 or 2 times" like even that isn't a big deal. It shouldn't happen at all, period!
Here’s what I found there’s probably more New York 1863 New Orleans and Memphis 1866 St. Bernard Parish 1868 Opelousas & Camila 1868 Colfax 1873 Vicksburg & Eufaula 1874 Clinton 1875 Thibadeaux 1887 Wilmington 1898 Atlanta 1906 Springfield 1908 Slocum 1910 Elaine, Chicago & Washington 1919 E. St. Louis 1917 Ocoee 1920 Tulsa 1921 Rosewood 1923 Detroit 1943 Philadelphia 1985 Charleston 2015
Bailey, could you look in to the “Indian Boarding Schools” ran by the Bureau of a Indian Affairs of Alaska? I love that you are doing this. As a high school teacher, I applaud your desire to teach the actual events as they occurred, not the heavily edited versions of the history books. You are so engaging, and I know a whole lot of people will be watching and learning.
YES!!! There have been almost 2000 bodies of native children found in unmarked graves from 6 residential schools in Canada. There are over 300 residential schools in the US alone.
Went to my local Murphy’s gas station today commented on the cashiers eyeshadow.. she said “oh I learned it from Bailey Syrian she’s on UA-cam” I looked right at her and said “literally my favorite UA-camr of all time🥰” then we sat there and just talked about how wonderful Bailey is and how great her personality and talent is🥰🥰👏🏼👏🏼 Fans out here in Florida
@@multiverse6006 shes telling a story that the masses have never heard before the same with the tulsa massacre. I live in England and have no idea things like this happened, shes educating who cares if she's getting paid while doing it. This is literally her job
She needs to eat and support herself while researching and disseminating the CORRECT American history. As a teacher, I am paid to do the same, but we often choose our topics like she does (more wisely as those who know the whole truth about America’s history come in). We are not paid, like she is not paid, to care intensely about the black youth’s pride and growth and hope to nourish it as it fights like a gorgeous flower through the concrete that is our RACIST society.
Kendall Rae is the one who’s really sensitive to true crime topics. But Bailey is cool too. Bailey definitely goes for the cash grab tho with the gruesome flashy stories.
For people searching for episode two I found it on her podcast playlist on audible. I'm not sure why she didn't post in on UA-cam. The episode is called Zoot Suit Riots and it came out on June 9th.
Right!! Although I might've been so distracted by how beautiful she is that I wouldn't have learned anything!! 🤣🤣🤣 P.S. I'm totally straight but no one can argue, she is absolutely stunning!! 💜
I'm not from the US but I think it's disgusting removing certain parts of history it's as if their pain and suffering meant nothing, so let's erase it....then again this has happened all throughout history. History is foretold by the winners basically and how they want it to be told and not how it actually was unfortunately.
I started crying when Bailey said people ran to the swamp for safety. A swamp… in FLORIDA… which probably had alligators. The safest place these people had was a place where they would still be in constant fear for their lives.
I hadn't thought about that at first. This makes my heart hurt, especially knowing this was for severally freezing nights and these poor people knew that leaving meant CERTAIN death and staying meant only POSSIBLE death. 😭
What you've really got to worry about at this point are the MOSQUITOES. The people that fled into the swamp may very well have contracted yellow fever, a Florida scourge.
I have to say this, however it might offend people. The continuation of the horrible Fannie legacy is happening and worsening because the Rosewood massacre was erased from public records. It is foolish to believe that just pretending these events never took place is the best way to treat with the trauma of what happened. Thank you Bailey for discussing these hideous apocalyptic event, and perhaps making sure people never forget so that this legacy might be ended completely.
So everybody heard her scream and didn't do anything to help her nor did they seem to care. But as soon as she said a black man did it, all of a sudden they're all up in arms about it and ready to "protect" her.......
I think the neighbors that would have been home at that time of day might have known what was going on, meaning the women since the men who took up their pitchforks and firebrands would have been at work. You just KNOW they were sitting there, gossiping about "Mr so-and-so is over there doing the winkie dinkie with Fannie again". In a small town like that those women HAD to know what was going on. And in the 1920s, in the south especially, women didn't have any say in what would be considered "men's business"
I can't believe it's not taught in American schools. I'm from Germany and we discussed that case in ethics class in high school as an example of mob mentality. Fun fact: Most of the times it's a powerful majority against a vulnerable minority...
Lol I can’t believe that Jewish history isn’t taught in German and Austrian schools. It’s easy to pick apart something to make yourself feel superior, right? Your country treated me awfully when I lived there as a Jew. Talk about that stuff there. You’re not perfect.
Wow that's crazy... I can't believe that you guys are taught it there. Goes to show america is trying to hide truths of those they hurt and continue to hurt. Go figure.
@@ginnyrosalia hello Ginny, I’m from a different country. I think it would be great if you could comment on the current situation of Jews in Germany. It’s not as much mainstream topic in international media as say black discrimination in America, which makes it seem as if everything got right after Holocaust, so I would like to hear from u.
This is just sickening. To have that much hate in your heart towards people for the color skin, that you massacre them. How ignorant and evil do you have to be? People that have literally have done nothing to them. It’s even more sad that people still think that way.
It has nothing to do with the country. Everything to do with the time in history. Or maybe you think all the other countries in the world don’t have dark histories?!?!
Yes and “lost” papers still goes on today, not only in US but here in Oz …..or they seal them for 100 years, so then no one is alive to be held accountable. 😡😡😡 really convenient isn’t it when all the papers or evidence are “lost”
For those interested, there's an actual movie on it. It's really heart wrenching and you'll see some familiar actors playing the roles. I think it's just called "Rosewood". I'm shocked at how many people never heard this story, but truthfully, our school systems don't really teach these things.
I believe that the woman who lied didn't even feel bad about what erupted out of her little lie. Even if she thought about telling the truth for one second, I bet she didn't care to go through with it because A.) what about her societal image B.) the damage was already done and she couldn't do anything to reverse it (not that she would care to). What a cold cold cold heartless woman!
Her and countless other white women who used black people as scapegoats or falsely accused them of crimes. It's still happening today. Obviously not resulting in an almost week long massacre though. Thank goodness.
The saddest part is that the murderers, and the past government of America doesnt feel guilty. No one is sorry. No one is embarrassed of what happened. Let's be real, if those survivors didnt push for recognition and remembrance, that event wouldve been dismissed and forgotten decades ago.
@@minnietall107 Not you guys (the new generations). I mean the people that carried it out. The rioters. The other white people that said nothing and did nothing during that time.
Could you do a podcast on Lake Lanier? There’s a lot of heavy stories and history surrounding it (as a town was flooded/submerged to create it) and I feel like you would do great at gathering all the info and explaining it!
I'm related to the Rosewood Family. recently we've been having a lot of zoom reunions and talking about our family history. Right now there's an in person family reunion going on! I never knew about the history of Rosewood until I heard it from the Rosewood family. I'm glad they're able to celebrate their survival and lives today while raising awareness of the tragic injustices endured.
Hey! I’m related too! And yes! I saw the reunion but no one in my family seemed like they were going to attend so I didn’t make it! Who were you related to?
@@loriemills8337 the city is rosewood not any of the last names. Think she meant she is an descendant. Because what she stated was true . The recent reunion was named rosewood family reunion because of the different last names I am assuming… I come from the carrier family
The Karen’s of today are the Fanny’s of yesterday…only difference is technology capturing it Wow I didn’t expect this to blow up, thank you all :) Those of you who are mad…stay mad. History doesn’t lie.
People hated on Bailey because “makeup shouldn’t be a part of true crime”. They’re running for the hills now though cause you don’t need makeup to be amazing, it’s just another cool thing you do. Love this new series!
sounds like you're saying you don't think makeup should be a part of true crime. she said a long time ago it's just to do something with her hands while she talks. you can watch something else.
@@ontxtteredwxngs ...They're literally saying the opposite of that. They're saying that, for those who *did* take issue with mixing the two, they should be eating their words because of the impact this podcast/series is having; whereas applying the makeup is just an added cool bonus to the series.
It was on my heart to rewatch Rosewood movie tonight 5/16/2023. was young girl when it 1st came out. I've always turned my children on to movies I watched as a child like this 1, Mississippi Burning, The Color Purple & Roots. Rewatching Rosewood led me back here tonight. I will forever remember. May 23rd is arriving✊🏾Rest on Ancestors Rest on🕯️🙏🏽✨💕
We learned about Rosewood and watched the movie in my African studies for high-school... too many tragedies start because of a white woman lying on a black man 🥺
Man, as soon as whatsherface told her husband “some black guy had assaulted her” I knew she was having an affair with some dude who punched her in the face and she didn’t want her husband to find out 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
So my ex is actually from this area and his mom was in the Rosewood movie, in the church scene. In Florida, when I was signing up for college courses, it actually asks if you were affected by this, that’s how big of a deal and how detrimental this was. SO sad. Thank you so much for bringing attention to it
"How can we ever learn and grow if we don't know where we've been?" That's the way they want us: uneducated and compliant. Thank the gods for people like you!
@@jillianc7485 that is a very ignorant take. As if the descendants don't carry scars (emotional, financial, etc) from the massacre & losing their homes & livelihoods. I see a lot of community & comradery in this comment section. No "race-based hatred". No calls for revenge. Only one hating is you. Sis.
I found the house on Google Earth. You can clearly see the swamp areas that the people had to hide in. Gives me chills to see that and know they were there, terrified and hiding for their lives.
It reminds me of Wilmington, North Carolina massacre. As the black people fled, black mothers clutched their babies to their chests so hard to keep them from crying and giving away their location, some babies died.
@@Arnelle_Art I live in Wilmington, NC and I don’t think I ever learned about our massacre. We were told we had an event in Wilmington and we learned about Martin Luther King because he was a major person here but don’t think they ever said a whole lot about it (I have bad memory lol so that’s why I am not 100% sure).
When the black community is told to “get over it” and “it was in the past” it just shows how badly some people want to gaslight them into thinking that events like this are “rare” and aren’t still continuing to happen to this day. This is so sad.
If it didn’t happen to you personally then why are you holding it over the heads of other people who weren’t involved? It sounds like you’re trying to gaslight people into feeling guilty for something they didn’t do.
@@sailorarwen6101 honestly hiding behind your avi you don’t know what any person of color has gon through. Here you are in the comments gaslighting cuz u feel a way. While no one is burning down my home today, please believe racism, red lining, and micro aggressions are real… but u know that that’s why you down here talking mess.
I actually knew this story being a black woman who's mom was born in Florida, she educated me about Rosewood. You know schools never did! Thanks for all you do!! ~Kay 💜
I knew this story from a dear friend of my mother's. She actually sat down with us and watched Rosewood and Mississippi Burning. She had A LOT to say from her 97 yrs on this blue marble.
i am the granddaughter of a residential school survivor (dark canada history) and this hits so so close to home right to the minor details. you should do a story about the 1600 unmarked graves of children found across canada as young as newborns.
@@SuperSizeMe81 It wasn’t just discovered. They were unmarked graves. The people and government have known there were bodies at these locations for years. Those unmarked graves are just recently being dug up.
This is one of those very public secrets that no one cared to see, so it got overlooked and ignored for ages. It's disgusting. Thank you for speaking on this!
My grandfather and I were riding horses and moving castle from one pasture to another and this was always our time for him to teach me things. He told me this story. He actually cried a little. He said, "My Lord people can be evil can't they?" He told me about the gypsies in Marion Ohio and how badly they got treated. He told me never tell no one you are a "Traveler".... I learned later that day we were going to a cousin's funeral who had been beaten to death because someone found out he was a gypsy. It was shocking.
I’m glad your grandfather told you these things, my family is travelers aka gypsies and to this day we still face discrimination of all kinds. Yet no one wants to talk about it. Keep telling the stories your grandfather told you. ❤
That’s so disturbing to me. So many small towns just burned to the ground in that time period. Makes me wonder how now. You’re right… there’s likely more than we’ll ever know. Horrifying.
Check your local history. I found out they did it to several neighborhoods in my city. Apparently somewhere there's a tiny memorial plaque but no one ever speaks of it and they definitely don't discuss it in school.
@@Prismet she just said we'll probably never know bc it isn't well documented. As I just pointed out, it's often locally buried history. It would take ages to go to each city, go through the archives and see if anyone mentioned that time they burned a Black neighborhood to the ground.
I live in Gainesville and Rosewood is still absolutely barren, and there's only like one sign to tell you it was Rosewood at one point. It gives me the worst feeling whenever I drive through there.
As someone who has lived in Oklahoma, near Tulsa, I had never heard of the Tulsa Race Massacre in school or college. In high school they even make kids in the public school system take Oklahoma history to graduate. The only reason I now know about it is because of a history tweet that popped up on my Twitter feed. Absolutely crazy that events in history have been allowed to be essentially erased. Glad to now know about Rosewood and hope you continue to share more events that are not well known.
I’m truly hoping whoever bought John’s house has kept it up and made it hopefully slightly a monument as much as they can maybe a museum and let people tour it
He died back in 2002 and I knew nothing about this until 04/05 The shop owner that Bailey mentioned is the same shop owner who hid my grandpa along with his grandparents under the floor boards until it was safe for them to escape.
So so beyond heart breaking, I've never understood how people hurt and destroy others, thank you for the victims and their families and you Sarian for sharing this terrible piece of history
I agree that she's horrible but I'm not sure that her coming clean after a while would have made a difference tbh. Those men were just looking for a reason to hurt black ppl and they'd never admit they were wrong.
@@NatTalks01 after a while yes, it clearly escalated but towards the beginning she definitely could have. Sure she couldn't have known it would escalate that far but the moment the pinned this on this "Jessie" person she knew that he would get hurt if they found him. She should've stopped it right then and there
@@tea_v684 I'm not sure that would have mattered. Racism in the south was deep rooted in a lot of white Americans. Even if she had "come clean" early on, I could easily imagine someone say she was forced to take it back because she was afraid of the "black man", etc. The shame & guilt of the past was too strong.
My mom told us about this when we were kids and...I love you Bailey, but as a Black woman I can't watch this. It stirs to many feelings of rage in me. I'm glad you're telling this story, though.
@@Mia_____________ not really. I’m from Florida and my great grandma was born in the 20s and I spent summers with her. Her mother was actually still alive when I was born. Our families could all tell stories
As a black man, I’ve watched the movie about a little over 20 years ago, but of course schools never mention all these horrible events. I’m a big fan of the dark and creepy, and I love that you brought this story up on your channel🖤
As a black male that doesn’t give AF about make up, my GF just got me hooked on your videos and I don’t think you know how necessary you are. I never miss one 👌🏾
Same here
This will make you a better BF and can provide wonderful gifts to your hunny 😜
I got my husband and son listening to her too 😂 we are house painters and while we paint we listen to Bailey
I feel like there needs to be a club for y'all😂 I got my hubby hooked on Bailey last year.
The makeup just makes her videos pretty. Unless it's a GRWM video, it's all about content.
The saddest part about this is there are so many towns where black people were thriving that have now been as I call hidden/erased from history. I am so glad there are so many people like Bailey doing research and educating us on all the parts of history that America tries so desperately to keep us from talking about. We need to understand the past so we can make sure we never allow this stuff to happen again. Education is power and that’s the one thing NO ONE can take away from you. Keep educating yourselves everyone and don’t ever stop questioning and taking it upon yourself to look things up.
This comment needs to be pinned! Yes!!
I literally wonder why she doesn't even know history
Just being ironic....bailey knows history so much.
I remember watching a documentary about the Pruitt Igoe projects…. And how strange and unjust it was. They wanted to move people of color from the suburbs into projects (I hope my memories right - pls watch the doc yourself). The absolute worst part of the entire thing is that it led to the now “black American dad story” of not being involved in their families lives. But! It wasn’t by choice. The families had to lie if their father did live with them and he would have to stay away during government check ins. Eventually the funding for these projects ran out as jobs left the city. Its an extremely emotional watch but educational. It’s been a few years since I watched it so I apologize if any information is off. Feel free to correct me & I will edit my comment.
Totally agree!!!

I just saw this today and thought you'd appreciate it for this channel:
"Studying history will sometimes disturb you.
Studying history will sometimes upset you.
Studying history will sometimes make you furious.
If studying history always makes you feel proud and happy, you probably aren't studying history."
SO TRUE!
💯
I love history so I’d be happy xD
This is the perfect quote for this series
Or of studying history makes you feel proud, you’re probably a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc, etc, etc 💀
Bailey can you do a podcast about the boarding schools and all the Native American children they are finding in graves. People need to learn the truth about these boarding schools.
Yes!!!!
^^
Yes please do something about the residential schools in canada!
Yes!
Yes, please! Residential Schools in Canada and the US. These "schools" were not taught in history books or elsewhere.
All this over a woman refusing to admit she was having an affair.
Sickening.
And she probably felt no remorse for causing it. She most likely was just relieved her affair wasn't made public
with a man who attacked her
I know right. I hope she was happy with herself and all the death a destruction she'd caused just to get her leg over!
It could be that she was not having an affair and this was a plan she and the dude (and probably others) had set up to cause some problems, cause that big mob came in just a few days, which to me seems very quick
She may thought someone saw him come over and decided to start screaming so it would seem like an attack since word travels. May or may not have even been a black man. Who knows ? Karen's existed back then apparently.
I was literally like, “hasn’t she told this story before?” Because I’ve watched the Tulsa Race Massacre video. I find it so disturbing that it’s a completely different story but so similar and nothing was done about either times, plus it is hidden from the world practically. I’d never heard of them until Bailey. Disgusting.
Thank you for videos like these though. It’s so important.
That's what I was thinking!! Took me a minute to realize it's a totally different story. So sad this happened once, let alone twice...and I'm sure many other times no one knows about.
Same thing happened in Oscarville Georgia which is now LAKE LANIER. Another black town erased off the map completely .
And none of this is talked about even though it should because think about the karen video's half are like this but less severe. History repeats itself but if you talk about it we can see the signs.
There are movies and documentaries available.
It's always basically the same story. I still haven't watched either yet. As a POC it's hard to hear over and over again.
Shout out to Bailey for acknowledging each victim by their name and not just by a number
Exactly. She takes the time and effort to find the names of these poor victims and to call out their names. I think that’s respect and dedication
netflix needs to give her a show
asap

I can only wish things were/are different. 💖💖. We need to know the history so we can make sure it never happens again.
So glad Bailey is stretching her wings and providing educational material to her audience beyond the true crime genre.
What?! True crime is History.
@@BBB-rd2qi i mean yes, but these stories and the cases Bailey covers on Mondays are distinctly different. While true crime is comprised of various crime cases that have occurred throughout history, these history stories are bigger, involve more people, and generally have a broader influence. The history stories oftentimes don’t involve a “crime” in the sense that no one was criminally investigated, much less prosecuted and found guilty. Both are important and need to be shared - they’re just not exactly the same.
@@qwitchyy Very well put.
Thank you.
❤❤❤ I absoulty love this
I'm glad she's spreading awareness of the horrific incidences that otherwise would not be recognized, or remembered by the public thanks to colonialism.
I grew up like an hour from Rosewood and we never learned about this. Which isn’t surprising given its Florida but every time I learn about something in history, that has been basically erased, I get so mad. Thank you for educating me so that I may better educate my son.
Feel the same way living not too far from Tulsa Oklahoma. Check out Tulsa massacre
There's a movie with Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle and John Voight called Rosewood. It's how I learned about this story. Check it out
There is a movie about this. Its an old movie but most in the African American community watched it as kids. Even though its erased from school books, if more white ppl were willing to watch movies with AA characters or be okay with listening to AA people, maybe more wouldve been aware of what happened.
Educate your son on your own history, not people long dead who mean nothing to his life. Or his future.
Why doesn't this woman have a tv series yet? This episode was not only funny, interesting, dark, AND educational but also just had a great well articulated message about keeping history honest. I love it so much

@@lizebarclay5747 rightt like what.
Rest in peace to all the victims who lost their lives during this massacre.
Their lives were lost because a white woman didn't want to admit she was having an affair. Disgusting
It used to happen all the time. Even children were hung for being inappropriate, as if a child would dare do something so foolish back then. Always to avoid public shame.
The OG Karen
I agree! This so tragic! Unbelievable!!
If i can remember correctly, i saw a case where a 14 year old black teenager was strapped to an electric chair and executed for being wrongly accused of something. His name was George Stinney
I agree with you 100% from baton rouge Louisiana 2021
Can you do a “dark history” surrounding “residential schools/industrial schools/American Indian schools” in Canada they are now digging up around old schools and finding hundreds of unmarked graves of children as young as 3-4. This was overlooked for decades! Something to research !
i would also like to hear about this
Please and thank you im from Alberta and I'm so heartbroken SCHOOLS SHOULD NOT HAVE SECRET GRAVEYARDS WITH LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN IN EACH

As a black Florida native I learned the history of Rosewood when I was a little kid. That’s why Karens were so dangerous and still are. Thank you for telling this part of our history💛
I’m from central Florida! Have you ever heard of the Ocoee Massacre?
I’m from central Florida too and I never heard of the rosewood massacre or the ocoee massacre!
Bingo, and I'm in S.Florida and learned about it when I was a kid.
@@mamat9067 it's hard to hear about it because they love keeping it a secret. We used to watch movies about it and that's how we'd find out. The ocoee I'm just hearing of... Goes to show and best believe there's hundreds more out there.
Baby Karen’s were dangerous even before the time of Rosewood
As a Black Floridian I’ve only ever heard about the Rosewood Massacre through my FAFSA application, and they didn’t even call it a massacre!! They were always super vague about it and I never thought to look it up for myself, thank you for talking about this 💛
What did it say on your FAFSA application about this!?
Just curious... Why does the FAFSA application in Florida mention the Rosewood Massacre? Does it ask if your family was affected by it or something?

love to you sis
so sorry for all that you have to grieve, the trauma is constant. 💚
It says so much that they erase history like this. Is it because they're ashamed? They don't want the heat? Can't be because they're "not those people anymore" because those truly changed want to right their wrongs.
Vero Beach another pit of death
there's a movie about it that came out in the 90s

Bailey: “ We have to make sure we keep history, and that we keep it honest and transparent because without that we are doomed to repeat it.” Yes, we need more of these.
Preach
I live in Florida and we DEFINITELY didn't learn anything about this. We also didn't learn about the Tulsa race massacre or the Native American boarding school's. Makes me realize how ridiculous schools are
It's not in the American history books. Never was
They all but completely exterminated the Mohican tribe of indians as well. Today their is about 1500 left. About half of these people live on a reservation in Wisconsin.
See I must have lived in a bubble of reality growing up. We learned about all the stuff you mentioned. My mom was raised in Oklahoma and my grandfather worked for the federal government. His job was to give land back to Natives who asked for it.
PS I was not born and raised in Oklahoma.
Read "Finding Florida" it's full of stories like this.
I recently learned about thriving black communities that were flooded to make lakes. My ancestors will not be forgotten, even if they keep trying to erase us.
They can never erase us
Born and raised in Florida and never learned about this in school. Even took an African American history class in high school and it was never mentioned. It wasn't until the movie Rosewood came out in the 90s that learned about the massacre. Literally NO ONE talked about it but if you asked an older black person they would usually know about it. The whole thing is so sad and bizarre.
Same here. Grew up in Bronson. Learned about it from the movie. 🤦
Obviously you cannot learn the history of our ancestors from history books primarily written and published by white Americans…you always need to learn from from your Elders.
@nijuo joing No, because supposedly a BLACK MAN hit a WHITE WOMAN. There’s a huge difference
@nijuo joing Dude… are you a bot or something? There’s another person who has the EXACT same comment as you, only they made their 22 hours ago, and you made yours 9 hours ago.

Everyone has some growing up to do.
Update - The family that bought last surviving home in Rosewood that survived the massacre, John Wright's house, was donated to the community by the family that purchased it. It will become a museum.
Being a black Floridian this is something we learned about from family members. They never spoke about it in school.
I've grown up in Florida and never heard of this. It's great that Bailey's shedding light on these past events.
I grew up up in rural Florida. We sure never heard this story either.
Of course schools won't teach this... I wonder why😒
My family also taught me this history because it wasn’t being talked about in schools. Smh
I learned about this in high school on my own. I grew up in a predominantly white town in rural north Florida. It’s maddening that the state is working so hard to keep such as race based parts of American history out of the classroom so white students don’t feel bad about their race. But what about minority students who’ve had to deal with those feelings for decades?
The overwhelming pattern of this kind of behavior goes beyond any human rationale. There were DOZENS of similar acts across the country in the time period that destroyed and disenfranchised Black populations for generations to come.
The whole truth is the only way to heal
Right? There’s no way this happened just twice. Just look at the history of Central Park and all of the potential generational wealth and legacy that was just stolen from the black families that owned buildings there before it’s construction.

Hi Bailey! I'm hoping you see this but knowing that you have covered the Tulsa Race Massacre before, I was wondering if you would be interested in learning or covering the Wilmington Race Riot(Massacre) that happened in Wilmington NC back in 1989. It is something that has been really buried here in NC.. I was raised here and I just learned about it last week on a trip to the Poplar Grove plantation (which was known for being a Union loyal plantation until they were forced to succeed with the rest of the state.) The woman who led our tour had me in tears by the end and really expressed the true history of what went on at the plantation... it was an amazing experience. I would love for the sake of change and uncovering the history North Carolina is trying to bury.
I liv in NC also an it was never talked about. I don’t think the state officially recognized it until 2019.
In 1989?!?!
Please Bailey, do something on the horribleness of Residential schools-especially in Canada. There’s a huge knowledge gap in the horrors. I love you!!! You’re amazing! Thanks for doing what you do!!!
Stephanie Harlowe covered it, in case u wanna see. She s always super documented and well researched. Highly recommended
I want Bailey to cover this as well!!
Yes yes please please
@@OzmaOfOzz I don't recommend her video to be honest she ran a 3 minute long ad for glasses before that video on genocide and child kidnapping and torture and didn't link a single page to help raise money for the communities or families of those impacted.

She care nothing for people and only wants $$$.
Miigwech for the suggestion! I would really appreciate Bailey covering this topic as she has a BIG fan base and this needs to be heard around the world!!!!!!!!!

True. We need to learn from the mistakes of our history.
@@chrisbennett1358 yes so past history doesn't repeat itself
@@ladynikkie exactly. Too many people have forgotten that. Scary
This is a very common saying in South Africa when learning about Apartheid or World War 2.
I believe this also applies to the groups that want to tear down existing history or monuments. If they’re standing, people can point out the statues and explain why they exist.
As a black woman, I'm so grateful for you bringing attention to this part of history, please do more stories about the violence that was set upon black people and black communities. Love you Bailey!
She did one on the Tulsa Massacre too.
I've now seen both the Tulsa massacre and now Rosewood. South Omaha, Nebraska (where I live) had 2 racially motivated fires. The first was in 1909 to drive out the Greek population in South Omaha. The second fire was in 1919 after the lynching of Will Brown, a black man wrongfully accused of r*ping a white woman. Even TODAY African-Americans living in Omaha all reside in the Northern part of Omaha.
As a human being racism makes me sick and despair for all of us.
I’ve heard of this story several times before, and each time it fills me with an overwhelming sense of dread and fear and astonishment. From Proudly being apart of the black community my heart breaks that we had to go through this. It started from a lie and then was escalated through racial motivations.
This episode hurt me to my core. The fact that there is still no recognition at this blatant hate massacre is baffling and quite honestly disgusting ! I couldn’t hold back tears picturing those poor children who had to hide for days in a swamp more than likely full of alligators.
Kudos not only for sharing this story but more importantly - for sharing the names of those who were lost. As long as we speak their names, they are remembered. Thank you for that.
Tulsa, Rosewood, and about 40 others. Ppl need to understand these are not isolated incidents.

I love that you are doing this. As a high school teacher, I applaud your desire to teach the actual events as they occurred, not the heavily edited versions of the history books. You are so engaging, and I know a whole lot of people will be watching and learning.
YES!!! There have been almost 2000 bodies of native children found in unmarked graves from 6 residential schools in Canada. There are over 300 residential schools in the US alone.
I second this motion.

Ooo, great suggestion! There's so much that isn't talked about in regard to the history of indigenous ppl in the Americas
Interesting one! I grew up in Alaska and would be interested.

First the Tulsa race massacre and now you're educating be on Rosewood. Thank you Bailey for not shying away from these topics.
This is why I love listening to Bailey. She is very sensitive to topics like this.
yeah cuz she includes tons of paid promotion. shes profiting off black tragedies. thats sickening
@@multiverse6006 you mean she's profiting by spreading information of black tragedies? Don't most TV channels do that and get paid for it

She needs to eat and support herself while researching and disseminating the CORRECT American history.
As a teacher, I am paid to do the same, but we often choose our topics like she does (more wisely as those who know the whole truth about America’s history come in). We are not paid, like she is not paid, to care intensely about the black youth’s pride and growth and hope to nourish it as it fights like a gorgeous flower through the concrete that is our RACIST society.
Kendall Rae is the one who’s really sensitive to true crime topics. But Bailey is cool too. Bailey definitely goes for the cash grab tho with the gruesome flashy stories.

weirdest part ab this vid so far is bailey being confused why we weren’t taught this😭they literally removed the trail of tears from textbooks last yr
I’m hip! That’s why Andrew Jackson ABSOLUTELY needs to be removed from the $20 bill!
I'm not from the US but I think it's disgusting removing certain parts of history it's as if their pain and suffering meant nothing, so let's erase it....then again this has happened all throughout history.
History is foretold by the winners basically and how they want it to be told and not how it actually was unfortunately.
Which State?
The only reason why we weren't taught this is racism. The US education system hates anyone who isn't white, straight, cis, or able bodied.
that’s so weird because i remember being taught this
I started crying when Bailey said people ran to the swamp for safety. A swamp… in FLORIDA… which probably had alligators. The safest place these people had was a place where they would still be in constant fear for their lives.
Don't forget the snakes 😬
I hadn't thought about that at first. This makes my heart hurt, especially knowing this was for severally freezing nights and these poor people knew that leaving meant CERTAIN death and staying meant only POSSIBLE death. 😭
Plus without food or water for two days 😣😣
What you've really got to worry about at this point are the MOSQUITOES. The people that fled into the swamp may very well have contracted yellow fever, a Florida scourge.
I’m more scared of snapping turtles than alligators. And the deadly and abundant snakes, and poisonous spoders. Gators aren’t even the worst thing.
The sound she did after saying “but did you know if you cut me open there’s a little pink inside” freaking killed me.
I went from serious to a full on LAUGH at that part 😂😂😂
I have to say this, however it might offend people. The continuation of the horrible Fannie legacy is happening and worsening because the Rosewood massacre was erased from public records. It is foolish to believe that just pretending these events never took place is the best way to treat with the trauma of what happened. Thank you Bailey for discussing these hideous apocalyptic event, and perhaps making sure people never forget so that this legacy might be ended completely.
So everybody heard her scream and didn't do anything to help her nor did they seem to care. But as soon as she said a black man did it, all of a sudden they're all up in arms about it and ready to "protect" her.......
Yup. All they need is a reason… or not.
I think the neighbors that would have been home at that time of day might have known what was going on, meaning the women since the men who took up their pitchforks and firebrands would have been at work. You just KNOW they were sitting there, gossiping about "Mr so-and-so is over there doing the winkie dinkie with Fannie again". In a small town like that those women HAD to know what was going on. And in the 1920s, in the south especially, women didn't have any say in what would be considered "men's business"
Exactly
I can't believe it's not taught in American schools. I'm from Germany and we discussed that case in ethics class in high school as an example of mob mentality. Fun fact: Most of the times it's a powerful majority against a vulnerable minority...
Wow. The fact you learned about this in school in Germany while it’s basically obscured in American educations systems says A LOT about America.
Lol I can’t believe that Jewish history isn’t taught in German and Austrian schools. It’s easy to pick apart something to make yourself feel superior, right?
Your country treated me awfully when I lived there as a Jew. Talk about that stuff there. You’re not perfect.
Wow that's crazy... I can't believe that you guys are taught it there. Goes to show america is trying to hide truths of those they hurt and continue to hurt. Go figure.

@@ginnyrosalia hello Ginny, I’m from a different country. I think it would be great if you could comment on the current situation of Jews in Germany.

I believe that the woman who lied didn't even feel bad about what erupted out of her little lie. Even if she thought about telling the truth for one second, I bet she didn't care to go through with it because
A.) what about her societal image B.) the damage was already done and she couldn't do anything to reverse it (not that she would care to).
What a cold cold cold heartless woman!
Her and countless other white women who used black people as scapegoats or falsely accused them of crimes. It's still happening today. Obviously not resulting in an almost week long massacre though. Thank goodness.
Even if she did tell the truth after they wouldn’t care
@@amirahm85able yeah that too.
The saddest part is that the murderers, and the past government of America doesnt feel guilty. No one is sorry. No one is embarrassed of what happened. Let's be real, if those survivors didnt push for recognition and remembrance, that event wouldve been dismissed and forgotten decades ago.
Will those that participated in the riots feel guilty or remorse fifty yrs from now? There's your answer.
Please don't say no one cares. I do.
@@minnietall107 me too!! That always hurts my heart when folks say that! It’s that we didn’t know, not we don’t care!!! This is heartbreaking 💔
Like millions of others than have been dismissed and forgotten.
@@minnietall107 Not you guys (the new generations). I mean the people that carried it out. The rioters. The other white people that said nothing and did nothing during that time.
Could you do a podcast on Lake Lanier? There’s a lot of heavy stories and history surrounding it (as a town was flooded/submerged to create it) and I feel like you would do great at gathering all the info and explaining it!
Yesssss 🙌
I was thinking the same. The history of Oscarville (the town Lake Lanier was built over) is very similar to what happened in Rosewood.
You know, I JUST heard about this like last week…. That’s so freaking sad
theres a podcast called Morbid that did an episode on Lake Lanier! it's episode 236, highly recommend
All those souls, that place is haunted
I actually heard of this story from my mom when i was a teenager and this story still gets me even today.
I'm related to the Rosewood Family. recently we've been having a lot of zoom reunions and talking about our family history. Right now there's an in person family reunion going on! I never knew about the history of Rosewood until I heard it from the Rosewood family. I'm glad they're able to celebrate their survival and lives today while raising awareness of the tragic injustices endured.
What do u guys think about the movie?
@@honeymustard8002 honestly I started watching it but didn't finish because of how heavy it was. I thought it was a decent movie though
Hey! I’m related too! And yes! I saw the reunion but no one in my family seemed like they were going to attend so I didn’t make it! Who were you related to?
I thought the town was named rosewood because of a tree. She didn't mention a rosewood family name.
@@loriemills8337 the city is rosewood not any of the last names. Think she meant she is an descendant. Because what she stated was true . The recent reunion was named rosewood family reunion because of the different last names I am assuming… I come from the carrier family
The Karen’s of today are the Fanny’s of yesterday…only difference is technology capturing it
Wow I didn’t expect this to blow up, thank you all :)
Those of you who are mad…stay mad. History doesn’t lie.
SAY THAT
FACTS
Girllll say it louder for the ppl in the back!!!!!! Factssss
Well said!!!
Couldn't have put it better myself🙄
People hated on Bailey because “makeup shouldn’t be a part of true crime”. They’re running for the hills now though cause you don’t need makeup to be amazing, it’s just another cool thing you do. Love this new series!
sounds like you're saying you don't think makeup should be a part of true crime. she said a long time ago it's just to do something with her hands while she talks. you can watch something else.
@@ontxtteredwxngs ...They're literally saying the opposite of that. They're saying that, for those who *did* take issue with mixing the two, they should be eating their words because of the impact this podcast/series is having; whereas applying the makeup is just an added cool bonus to the series.
I agree Jackson
There are so many ppl copying now it’s crazy 😜
I don't remember her getting any "hate" because of it???
It was on my heart to rewatch Rosewood movie
tonight 5/16/2023. was young girl when it 1st came out. I've always turned my children on to movies I watched as a child like this 1, Mississippi Burning, The Color Purple & Roots. Rewatching Rosewood led me back here tonight. I will forever remember. May 23rd is arriving✊🏾Rest on Ancestors Rest on🕯️🙏🏽✨💕
We learned about Rosewood and watched the movie in my African studies for high-school... too many tragedies start because of a white woman lying on a black man 🥺
no, it is the least prevalent of our problems, dont fan the flames of hate.
@@joejones9520 your dismissing of human lives being taken because of ignorant hate instead of acknowledging the hate speaks volumes
@@paulajgilles 🙌🏾
@@joejones9520 ignorant aint ya?
@@Sunken__heart f-off
Man, as soon as whatsherface told her husband “some black guy had assaulted her” I knew she was having an affair with some dude who punched her in the face and she didn’t want her husband to find out 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Right???!!! Side dude got a little rough
Same! I thought the same thing!
Saaame
For sure
Or... Main dude found out she was having an affair, punched her in the face, and told her to blame a black man? Maybe not...
i clicked faster than bailey could say: "i'm laughing because-" 💀
It’s one of my favorite sayings from her. I told her a long time ago in an old vid, she needs to make merch saying “I’m laughing because”
"but did you also know that if you cut me open ive got a little pink inside" -Bailey 2021
i cant stop laughing
So my ex is actually from this area and his mom was in the Rosewood movie, in the church scene. In Florida, when I was signing up for college courses, it actually asks if you were affected by this, that’s how big of a deal and how detrimental this was. SO sad. Thank you so much for bringing attention to it
Did the survivors ever get reparations?
@@rellysunshine9665 not the survivors but their great great grandchildren i believe
“Did you know if you cut me open, I have a little pink inside?”
BAILEY 😂😂😂
I died at the sound she made after 😂
If any one knows it's us true crime freaks 🙄
So random loved it!
That was hilarious 🤣
Ay 👅👅👅👅😂
"How can we ever learn and grow if we don't know where we've been?"
That's the way they want us: uneducated and compliant. Thank the gods for people like you!
except all learning about this does is fuel race-based hatred. sis this happened nearly 100 years ago-
@@jillianc7485 but u gotta know what happened before and as u can see racism still exist today .
@@jillianc7485 that is a very ignorant take. As if the descendants don't carry scars (emotional, financial, etc) from the massacre & losing their homes & livelihoods.
I see a lot of community & comradery in this comment section. No "race-based hatred". No calls for revenge. Only one hating is you. Sis.
@@jillianc7485 just as Bailey said, you never learned a thing.
@@jillianc7485 Of course, that'd be your take🙄.
I’m just getting into dark history and freaking love it. Can’t wait for more
I found the house on Google Earth. You can clearly see the swamp areas that the people had to hide in. Gives me chills to see that and know they were there, terrified and hiding for their lives.
It reminds me of Wilmington, North Carolina massacre. As the black people fled, black mothers clutched their babies to their chests so hard to keep them from crying and giving away their location, some babies died.
Can you please provide the link?
@@aschwa710
Thank you very much. 😀
Yea
@@Arnelle_Art I live in Wilmington, NC and I don’t think I ever learned about our massacre. We were told we had an event in Wilmington and we learned about Martin Luther King because he was a major person here but don’t think they ever said a whole lot about it (I have bad memory lol so that’s why I am not 100% sure).
When the black community is told to “get over it” and “it was in the past” it just shows how badly some people want to gaslight them into thinking that events like this are “rare” and aren’t still continuing to happen to this day. This is so sad.
My response is always you mean my grandparents
This is happening today?
Where? Because last I checked, the statistics show that this is actually happening in the other direction.
If it didn’t happen to you personally then why are you holding it over the heads of other people who weren’t involved? It sounds like you’re trying to gaslight people into feeling guilty for something they didn’t do.
Wow already 2 replies doing exactly what U mentioned lol the delusions of some ppl who only want to hate
@@sailorarwen6101 honestly hiding behind your avi you don’t know what any person of color has gon through. Here you are in the comments gaslighting cuz u feel a way. While no one is burning down my home today, please believe racism, red lining, and micro aggressions are real… but u know that that’s why you down here talking mess.
who else likes listening to these while cleaning or doing work?
I listen at work all day!!!
Same
I always listen when I’m making the kids breakfast or doing the dishes lol.
I put her on before i go to bed, i pick a Playlist and just lay there. Between her and stephanie Harlowe.
Exactly what im doing now
This just goes to prove that a group of scared individuals are much more dangerous than any psychopath could ever be. 🤦🏻♀️
Update: On July 14, 2021, The Real Rosewood Foundation announced that they will soon own John Wright's home.
I think that’s awsome
Your super pretty.
Happy birthday news to me!!
Woohoo!!
@@royslapped4463
You’re*
I actually knew this story being a black woman who's mom was born in Florida, she educated me about Rosewood. You know schools never did! Thanks for all you do!! ~Kay 💜
Born and raised in Florida and still live here and never heard of this story...
I knew this story from a dear friend of my mother's. She actually sat down with us and watched Rosewood and Mississippi Burning. She had A LOT to say from her 97 yrs on this blue marble.
@@kimberlymoxley104 Thanks, I was trying to remember Mississippi Burning.
Correct, schools shouldn’t tell little kids about massacres. 🙄🙄
@@LeneeLenee Who said anything about little kids?
i am the granddaughter of a residential school survivor (dark canada history) and this hits so so close to home right to the minor details. you should do a story about the 1600 unmarked graves of children found across canada as young as newborns.
Yes the Canadian massacre was just discovered.
@@SuperSizeMe81 It wasn’t just discovered. They were unmarked graves. The people and government have known there were bodies at these locations for years. Those unmarked graves are just recently being dug up.
This is one of those very public secrets that no one cared to see, so it got overlooked and ignored for ages. It's disgusting. Thank you for speaking on this!
@@samantham1643 Hi... I never said it was just discovered. I asked if she saw the movie?
My grandfather and I were riding horses and moving castle from one pasture to another and this was always our time for him to teach me things. He told me this story. He actually cried a little. He said, "My Lord people can be evil can't they?" He told me about the gypsies in Marion Ohio and how badly they got treated. He told me never tell no one you are a "Traveler".... I learned later that day we were going to a cousin's funeral who had been beaten to death because someone found out he was a gypsy. It was shocking.
I’m glad your grandfather told you these things, my family is travelers aka gypsies and to this day we still face discrimination of all kinds. Yet no one wants to talk about it. Keep telling the stories your grandfather told you. ❤
Gypsy is more than a lifestyle. It’s a nationality. One that is constantly ignored yet spit on. Thank you for your stories
This happened in SO many other American black towns. Probably more than we’d ever know
That’s so disturbing to me. So many small towns just burned to the ground in that time period. Makes me wonder how now. You’re right… there’s likely more than we’ll ever know. Horrifying.
Check your local history. I found out they did it to several neighborhoods in my city. Apparently somewhere there's a tiny memorial plaque but no one ever speaks of it and they definitely don't discuss it in school.
Do you have a reference for this or you are just speculating?
@@Prismet she just said we'll probably never know bc it isn't well documented. As I just pointed out, it's often locally buried history. It would take ages to go to each city, go through the archives and see if anyone mentioned that time they burned a Black neighborhood to the ground.
Yes, I read something similar about central park in NYC
I live in Gainesville and Rosewood is still absolutely barren, and there's only like one sign to tell you it was Rosewood at one point. It gives me the worst feeling whenever I drive through there.
Me too!!!
💔
As someone who has lived in Oklahoma, near Tulsa, I had never heard of the Tulsa Race Massacre in school or college. In high school they even make kids in the public school system take Oklahoma history to graduate. The only reason I now know about it is because of a history tweet that popped up on my Twitter feed. Absolutely crazy that events in history have been allowed to be essentially erased. Glad to now know about Rosewood and hope you continue to share more events that are not well known.
Yep I lived in Tulsa for a few years for graduate school where we had courses on trauma and diversity and still never talked about. It’s not right.
Yea, I grew up in Muskogee…..
Same!!
The history we’re taught in public schools isn’t accurate on complete any level. White washing racial issues is just the tip of the iceberg.
I’m truly hoping whoever bought John’s house has kept it up and made it hopefully slightly a monument as much as they can maybe a museum and let people tour it
Rosewood foundation bought it July 2021
I grew up in this county back in Florida. My great grandfather survived this night.
I’m so sorry he had to go through this. Please give him a hug on my behalf
Give him a hug on my behalf too, and deeply sorry he went through what he went through, I pray a peaceful life for him🖤🤞
He died back in 2002 and I knew nothing about this until 04/05 The shop owner that Bailey mentioned is the same shop owner who hid my grandpa along with his grandparents under the floor boards until it was safe for them to escape.
The “if you cut me open I’m a little pink inside🤪” really got me 💀
Me too- I laughed way too hard at that one 😂😂😂

Am I the only one searching for part #2? I mean, I don't want to miss anyone of these fascinating podcasts!
Where is #2? I can't find it.
@@paolaran5540 I'm wondering if she meant to put #2 instead of #3 because I can't seem to find it and I don't wanna miss out on these great stories
@@melia_596 I found episode 2 over on Google podcast; it's titled Zoot Suit Riot. Perhaps not all episodes will be made into videos? Not sure though.
@@enbashira hmmm. 🤔 let me go Check that out real quick...
@Itz Thee Unique she had trouble recording Episode 2 so it's only on the podcast channel Dark History.
So so beyond heart breaking, I've never understood how people hurt and destroy others, thank you for the victims and their families and you Sarian for sharing this terrible piece of history
I truly believe the worst person in this whole story is the woman. She started all of this and she could've stopped it at so many points.
I agree that she's horrible but I'm not sure that her coming clean after a while would have made a difference tbh. Those men were just looking for a reason to hurt black ppl and they'd never admit they were wrong.
I always thought that too.
@@NatTalks01 after a while yes, it clearly escalated but towards the beginning she definitely could have. Sure she couldn't have known it would escalate that far but the moment the pinned this on this "Jessie" person she knew that he would get hurt if they found him. She should've stopped it right then and there
@@tea_v684 I'm not sure that would have mattered. Racism in the south was deep rooted in a lot of white Americans. Even if she had "come clean" early on, I could easily imagine someone say she was forced to take it back because she was afraid of the "black man", etc. The shame & guilt of the past was too strong.
@@NatTalks01 Right! Even n the movie the mob admitted they knew she lied n didn't care. The husband was the only 1 who did n they clowned his 4 it
The 1.7k dislikes were from Fanny’s descendants 😂
🤣🤣
Lollllll
They're feeling the guilt for their ancestors.
Yo fr tf is up with that
& the descendants of the mob members
My mom told us about this when we were kids and...I love you Bailey, but as a Black woman I can't watch this. It stirs to many feelings of rage in me. I'm glad you're telling this story, though.
🥺😢❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love and prayers, my sister from another mister
It's put down as history. But really this foulness wasn't that long ago.
@@Mia_____________ not really. I’m from Florida and my great grandma was born in the 20s and I spent summers with her. Her mother was actually still alive when I was born. Our families could all tell stories
bailey is so mesmerizing the last 20 minutes you get to really see her soul and what makes her so amazing . i dont know her but i love her
Same
As a black man, I’ve watched the movie about a little over 20 years ago, but of course schools never mention all these horrible events. I’m a big fan of the dark and creepy, and I love that you brought this story up on your channel🖤
