#RonDeSantis #BlackHistory #StopWokeAct
Perfect way to kick off Black History month right here. Thanks Mr. Calvin.
Yes, focus on an original progressive & dynamic thought inlieu of the derogatory & disrespectful history cast upon us, repeatedly told to the world i.e this MLK statue, that is a disgraceful & distasteful piece of junk that's just reprehensible mockery.
July is White History Month!!!!
@@briannichols4856 Really? Or are you just saying that?
@@briannichols4856 EVERY MONTH AND EVERY DAY IS YOUR DAY STOP THE BS
@@marthashepherd935 true but not to the full extent of GODS WILL
I took AP European History years ago. I never heard ONE complaint that this course was discriminatory or promoting racism.
Only when it comes to Black history then they think that shit is racist, the fragility with white people are on another level.
They fail to understand that every time they tell a lie and try and cover up their past. Their past will eventually come back to smack them in the face in some form or another💯
Facts.
Exactly. The more they try to cover up, the more they shine a spotlight on the very thing they're trying to cover. Idiots!
Right-on!!!!!
The more they do it it's going to expose them
I'll take ANY politician that will stop the STAMPEDE to nuclear world war 3 !
Take DeSantis to court because this is a clear case of discrimination simple and plain.
And he'll win
After the killing of Trayvon Martin, I'm not surprised by anything this haphazard state does. smh.
Florida is a cesspool of racism now like icing on the cake😏
I wouldn't even make a phone call to Florida. Leave them to their own demise.
@@seanvales391 Yep I have got family down there.They tell me don't even bother coming down there to live unless you're White, White passing, Wealthy or single with no children.Lol even the retirement communities are separated by Race, ethnicity and class.Which is why gated communities are so effective.Because often they have their own bylaws to keep certain people out.That state is called the sunshine state.But historically it has always been the state of darkness, pardon the pun,for Black people.But this is just my opinion by my own experiences and that of my relatives.Some are hardheaded and refuse to leave.
As a native Floridian (now living in the DMV) I want to thank you for sharing what you have about Florida in this video. There is so much more that most people don't know concerning Florida's history and how it directly relates to conditions today. People tend to think of Disney and beaches whenever Florida is brought up but it ain't all sunshine and oranges down there. I had a cross burned in my front yard when I was 7...in the 90s...not much has changed in some counties down there.
Yep, FL is an absolute cesspool with the history to go with, as you said.
Welcome further up north! #DMV. Not sure how long you’ve been here, but trust me, we have our issues too, especially DC 😏. At least you can find common tribe folks who share the same thoughts and feelings 😂
@@nerdsworthpoindexter6661 bish😏
@@nerdsworthpoindexter6661 LMAO! Ikr. What a bunch of nonsense.
Permanent victims over oppression they never faced.
Hello fellow Floridian! I left the state due to the racism! Florida is the only state in the USA where yt ppl are so propped up even the yt crackheads (and there are a lot) feel that they are above u and treat u as such! ASU said so much goes on there an external investigation needs to take place. In the 90’s I was forced to redo class work in front of jealous yt parents that were mad that I scored higher than their yt child!
As a black man and former substitute teacher, words don't describe my reaction to what DeSantis has done. He will get his, and we will all be there to see it. #enoughsaid
From your finger tips to God's ears.
He will fall soon and will do it out front and center SOON AS HE ANNOUNCES HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT😏
Isn’t it about queer African Americans ?
Y’all some stupid sheep the courses that are being offered are racist Black Lives Matter and black queer shenanigans, comparing Desantis to Reagan is a compliment and I pray he runs for President 🇺🇸
@@londafine8287 Who is the sheep that doesn't know that the course was OPTIONAL? As in IF YOU DON"T LIKE IT THEN DON'T LET YOUR KID TAKE IT. Kinda sick of you weak azz parents.
I call him Ron DeSnowflake or DeSatan
lmfaaaoooo
I like DeathSantis
Yes D. DeSatan is my fave.
And yet more people moved to Florida under lockdown than others 🤣 and have a higher happy index than most states. You salty lames need to stay out Florida's business 🤣 cause they have the right attitude 😏 and it burns the Dusts machinations to no end.
Poor wittle Liberals can dish it out but CANT take it
Calvin l know you hear this all the time, how history wise you are beyond your years. Thank you for always sharing your insightful opinion. My takeaway from this, as a Community it's up to "US" to inform and teach "OUR" children about our "HISTORY"! In my humble opinion.
💙💙💙✊🏾✊🏾
ABSOLUTELY! 🙂
*Yes!!! His vids are often a master class on American history...!!! True excellence...!!!* 👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽
*... BTW... how brutally disgusting & horrific does their history have to be for them to be so ashamed & mortified to teach it to their children???!!!!! Hopefully, DeSINtis & his minions will get their azzzez handed to them in court...!!!*
I agree.
People stay studying us tho and in our business tho. So we can do that but then what about THAT
AP art history is nothing but European art too
Yea it’s awful. I took it and what a snooze fest
True. And music theory is only taught through a European lens as well, though many cultures have their own music theory. All of our education is very whitewashed.
@@robynology101 No doubt about that.

I agree.
Not so fast… you have four Staunch racists on the SCOTUS… and Clarence Thomas…
Ron DeSatan is the second coming of Hitler whom forgot Hitler wouldn't F' at all with an Hispanic wannabe white man😅
Did you even read the curriculum that was banned or listen to DeSAINTis tell what was in it and why he banned it as well as the standard moving forward?? Nothing in it was showing the “brutal disgusting & horrific history” of white ppl. It was queer studies, blm movement. Political/culture war issues. Not african-american history or studies. Him banning that curriculum was not a slight to black ppl. Yal gotta think outside of racism.
@@kenW13 ... Kenneth...
DeSinner gave absolutely NO reason for banning the course at first, and neither could anyone on the board point to one single reason when asked. Then after facing days of backlash & demands that he pin-point his objections, he came back about a week later - not with actual evidence - but with PERSONAL grievances about the course.
Essentially, what he's confessing is that he hates Queer people so damn much, that he can't stomach the idea of even a brief mention of the intersectionality of Queer folks with Black history.
Well, If his overly sensitive snowflake azzzz wants to hate Black history AND queer people, well that's his business. But history doesn't care about one's feelings... It only cares about the facts...!!! History doesn't give a donkey's azzzz if it makes one feel good. It only cares about the facts! Period!
Furthermore, this is a course that's been in the making for 12 long years by many experts in the field. It's already being taught in many states without one single complaint or problem. The real truth is this is just his attempt to politicize something he feels will win him brownie points with the MAGAt crowd in his run for president.
Good luck defending his bigotry in court...!!!
Meanwhile in California my 2nd Grader has monthly BSU ( black student union) meetings at her elementary school. This month they planted a succulant and learned about believing in themselves. The other ethnicities have a monthly club too! Its all about HOW things are taught and presented ... mind you she is at a school that is 60 white and the school leadership is also white BUT the district has made diveristy a priority and gives everyone choice and context. I didn't get a BSU until I was in college so I am over the moon my daughter and her peers get the opportunity to learn about their identity through a positive lens so young. It's wild that the education is sooo different from state to state, hell from school to school even
That's so awesome!
This is so awesome! I'm in California as well, but my kids school dont have that😔 I'm definitely making sure they know their history. I love this implement tho.
I'm in California and may never leave because of this. I took AP US history in 11th grade. I learned all the dirt under America's fingernails
California always been on BS that why I moved 2 Memphis a got a lot of great opportunities over their my trade was cosmetics 💄💅 management I couldn't get the pay I was used 2 my employer told me we can't pay u that amount cause a mexi8 is bilingual and would do the same thing 4 much much lower that's when I moved to the south they paid me what I asked for the take horrible about Memphis it not true just like Africa America know we could do better the media brutalize those places make them sound dangerous when in actuality it's your better off 🖤💯
That’s so good to hear. I was introduced to BSU in junior high school (middle school)
DeSantis having a slogan of we built it is interesting considering he's a 4th generation Italian American. All of his great-grandparents came here in the early 1900s from Italy. The fact that he's trying to erase our history in this country is interesting----but he built it 🙄
Grandwizard santos is not white, Italians were only used to make up white numbers!!!
Factz! The same time his people were immigrating in(1904) Colored/Negro cities and towns were getting Massacre, Burned and Drowned by the influx of incoming immigrants from all over Europe and North Africa! This is why he does not want to discuss these topics. Information that teaches the youth the truth would make them (the youth) question the narrative like how were the American Colored/Negros slaves when at the same time Georgia and most of the South had Negros in Congress and General Assemblies during the 1860s-1890. Georgia had a Colored/Negro Senator in 1870 (Jefferson Hamilton Long) ( Republican). You had the Original 33 in Camilla, Ga. Who were the original 33 Colored/Negro Republicans elected to the Georgia Assembly in 1868. Mississippi had a Colored/Negro Senator (Hiram R Revel) (Republican) in 1870. As well as Alabama, Florida, & South Carolina. Also, the all Colored/Negro city of Wilmington, NC was thriving heavily before it was overthrown in a coup in 1898 (VOX has a video about it on UA-cam titled “When White Supremacy Overthrew A Government”. Texas Republican Party was founded by 150 Negros and just 20 Anglo Saxons in 1867. Doesn’t match what we were taught. Also, the Immigrants from European, North African and Asian nations only arrived in the mid 1800s through the 1920s (30 to 40+ Million through Ellis Island and six other ports of entry). This timeframe this up perfectly with the massacres/burnings/drowning of Negro towns and cities in the mid 1800s through the 1930s kind of like a coup of a Nation just as Wilmington, NC 1898. We were taught that the “Union Soldiers” were the good guys but when you research the “Devils PunchBowl” Natchez, MS 1865, you see that Union Soldiers corralled 100k Free Negros (Men,Women,Children) and locked them into a concrete wall concentration camp and worked and starved them to death. “The Union Army did not allow them to remove the bodies from the camp,” Westbrook explained. “They just gave ’em shovels and said bury ’em where they drop.” Now ask yourself, How could 100K+ so called slaves converge onto one city? In Mississippi of all places? Did they have cell phones, Twitter, or Instagram?🤦🏾♂️ The city of Natchez was most likely already their city and those houses and the luxuries in Natchez were theirs. I would highly suggest researching all of the Massacres below and with what you know now with regards to the Negros Republicans in running the Republican Party during the 1800s, I would take a lot of the slave narrative with a grain of salt and look at thing from what seems to be a military coup.

What’s also interesting is that DeSantis as an Italian, could’ve been a lynching victim approximately 100 years ago. He’s erasing his own history by trying to erase Black history. James Baldwin’s words keep ringing true.
Everyone that comes here, acts like they want to erase our history in this country.
@@jcurry3school They aren’t acting like it. They do want to erase the history of the American Colored/Negro. They have been try to permanently erase us since they arrived in the md to late 1800s! See my comments above!
As of this year, Ruby Bridges is still with us and not even 70 yet. But they're already trying to erase her?
Questions that need answers.
They bet not!
That is mind blowing to really think about. She’s just a year older than my father. We haven’t come as far as we think at all.
@@robynology101 also means many of those children who opposed her and the others from attending that school are now grandparents ....who have probably had children of their own...wonder what they may have inherited from their grandparents and par..parents....I keep telling those who coddle white fragility that we are not that far removed from segregation and some of our young black people born 90s to 2000...don't even realize where we have come from socially it's because many were never taught even by their own parents....we've come a long way yet we're still behind....history isn't pretty and white fragility can't handle it as it puts their forefathers in a very bad light. I could go on...
Young King you put so much knowledge out there...I'm subscribed
It’s funny how they call us inferior but won’t leave us alone. Oxymoron!
Facts! They obsessed with us it’s a disease.
They truly won't leave us alone. If we volunteered to leave, pay off debts, and give a substantial donation they'd still say no to that. Its a very sick and sociopathic behavior that they exhibit.
A dysfunctional relationship has two sides.
@@nkady2 Actually it's psychopathic when u see that there is no area of human activity that they left out. they are culturally speaking, vampires! and love and hate are like time and space. just two sides of the same coin.
@@skyjuiceification , Not in this case.
Ron Desantis is the second coming of Ronald Regan. We can’t let him take high office.
Albeit not charming or has any personality strangely as an Italian man. DeSatan is overall an azzhole. That is better educated, slicker, smarter with less baggage and better family optics than Trump. Don't think he can't win with his brand of bigotry with these MAGAgots out here. #RealTalk💯
No Joe Biden is the second coming of Reagan. DeSantis is WORSE than Reagan or Trump.
I'd say like trump with a sprinkle of Reagan or 50/50
No I think this is Hitler.
He takes a little something from all of them. He’s trying to invent himself into the consummate conservative for his base. He’s an amalgamation of stolen identities, a complete fraud.
your absolutely right about the rewriting of history by Making historically racist towns "happy" places by building amusement parks thereby changing the overall feeling of a place in peoples hearts and minds BUT its also a double edge sword. i had no idea about this until i watch ed this video, so it really makes me not want to spend ANY and i mean absolutely ANY MONEY in Orlando whatsoever.
Is that how Disney got the "swampland" so cheap? Destroy a town, buy it for pennies or get it free, gentrify, and raise the rates! Sounds like right now forcing people out through poisoned water, broken levees, bombs dropped, etc.
Parents need to be more active in teaching our history to their kids and not be so dependent on those teachers to do it!!!
Unfortunately U have younger parents who don't do it or the grandparents of those kids may or may not do it. There's the problem sad to say.
We can do that but also be offended that our country feels like our history isn’t worth teaching. There’s so much black history that I would’ve never learned about had I not attended college. I’m still learning about all of our contributions.
I can share this with my child but teaching is not my full time job unfortunately. This is essential to our curriculum at the very least being offered as an elective.
One of the few comments in this comment section that's true.
💯 can’t be mad when we let our oppressors teach us our history
Parents in Florida are overworked trying not to be gentrified. It’s so bad. No excuse but the reality is mental stability is failing and the state is winning. We needed reparations like yesterday.
Yep that's the only history they feel should be taught is white history and the history of these other groups that they consider honorary.
And how will this course not tell African American history through a white lens? What do black people gain from white folk in Florida learning this course
Any other history is fine expect black history but then these white people want to act and be black but when it comes to the history. They don't want to hear it, what kind of $hit is this.
@@lip124 it's simple. They want the joys of the black experience but none of the pain associated with it. Because ultimately they want the luxuries of black culture but don't want to respect those it comes from. Look at rap or rock as an example. They want to play Tupac or watch Hendrix play but really sympathize for the pain is no joy. Because at the end of the day they want to be like Tupac or rock out like Hendrix themselves, not keep getting the talent from those who are brown hence why Eminem became partly so popular or Elvis who are white faces administering the same black talents and easier to support and relate to. How many white rappers are more influenced by Eminem or rockers in the 60's by Elvis vs say Tupac or little richard
African history is WORLD history.
That’s because its not history its HIS STORY.
Black history is American history
Brilliant analysis. Thank you Calvin!
They keep saying the quiet part OUT LOUD. Tell on themselves 24/7
U can do that when ur in the end game.
I knew Calvin was gonna have a thorough read for the wannabe Grand Wizard of Florida. You deserve FAR more followers, brother. Very high quality content. As a Black Floridian, thank you for your work ❤
They cannot bury history the truth will always come out!
But love visiting slave quarters, historic places,
You are a great and natural teacher. I try to teach my kids at home but I become too passionate. You are truly an educator. Thank you for all that you do.
I love that you speak openly about black history and the black experience in America on your channel. I remember the Carter case in Miami. I was appalled and began to learn that black lives didn’t matter that much. I appreciate you and your authenticity. I’ll be intentional about making sure my kids know the truth.
Thank You Calvin, for speaking out especially to this Florida Governor, because he thinks everything he puts in florida law will work. He will never take away Black History. He will lose in the end.
He's lying to you Spewing Marxist ideology Unions are the biggest donors to the democrat party
Honestly, living in Florida is affecting my mental health. I'm gonna start saying Grand Wizard Desantis to cheer myself up.

Have you ever read about how one his great grandmother came here she just did get in .She was nearly consider not able to come to the If she had been a month later she would have been sent back to Italy..So he has a lots of nerve Not wanting our history to be taught.Have you notice people that are like him & Ted Cruz the ones that have benefit more than people that been here for 400 years and sweat and help made this country what it is want to deny the most basic. truth.
I grew up in Ocoee area. The history behind the town is despicable! It’s a lot of black ppl in the area now but depending where you go it’s still a sundown town.
Real talk. I live on the gulf side not too far from Perry and there are definitely places we stay away from after dark. These non white immigrants are now figuring that shite out too.
If Ron Desantis came to a class that I teach he’d probably have them throw me in jail. That’s wild to me because the content is child friendly black history
@3:41 We watched “Eyes On The Prize” in home room in high school. Thankful for that time. We never left home room or social studies w/hate in our hearts for what we saw. What we did leave with was knowledge of what was left out of school textbooks.

First time seeing you on my feed and first time watching a video. I must say that you do a great job explaining your thoughts without missing a beat!
When this story broke on my local FL news channel, my husband and I looked at each other like 🤔 did they just say that?
I hope that this sparks interest in all Americans to research and discover what politicians are trying to hide
He's lying Just more Marxist BS Seems he's using the race card again
Thank you for making this video. I shared it with all the young people in my family. My grandfather used to say, "Every knock is a push." We have to keep pushing.
Lol! I stayed in Ocoee a couple of years ago..I was volunteering at the Zora Neal Hurston Fest in Eatonville. I was compelled to Google about the area when I went to Mcd's and all the workers were...on the poorer..lighter hue. And I came across the destruction and running out of the black community there. I was not surprised. From Texas to Georgia to Florida...If there is a poor white community and No to few blacks
..it's because they were run out of the area. ..I haven't come across a town yet with no neighborhood of black people who's ancestors were there from 100 yrs ago
My school district was one of the first to offer the pilot African American AP course. We also have a 90% black student population and every single book on the summer reading list is a "banned" book. They think they can erase our history but we aren't about to let them put a hold on our schools here.
Thank you for bringing valuable & knowledgeable content to this platform 👏🏾 you are the truth! Awesome video!
Absolutely excellent take! I WISH A.P Black History was an option when I was a kid. I hate when they try to divorce our contributions to American History or limit it to just athletics or entertainment. Hell In hindsight I don't know what educational value my A.P European History courses added for me. Even my A.P American History was woefully underdeveloped in hindsight.
This man is very gifted and a blessing to me. I love anything that deals with History. Especially the truth and correction of History. Thank you so much Calvin Michaels ❤️💯🙏
Thanks for sharing. I feel it is time for Black families to start home-schooling their children. These people don't want their kids to know the trust but if we teach it at home, they can't stop that. It's a shame that countries like Germany don't shy away from their history. They learned from it!!!
you dont have to homeschool. parents should, as many always have, participate in their kids education. instead of pawning off your kids to the school system as if you dont know, act accordingly. teach your kids and fill the gaps. problem is, the parents don't know their damn self
Homeschooler here. Been saying it for years
Thank you for the research, time and effort in sharing this historically valuable information. You're brilliance is a beacon of light that is much needed.
And to all of this I say AMEN. I'm fifty years of age and I learn so much from your discussions.
This is why we need our own independent schools, not charter and public schools ran by the state.
The way I feel if there is no teaching of black history then we shouldn't teach no type of history at all.
We Will Teach Our Generation True History. Great knowledge Young Man. Keep Teaching
Truly happy I woke up to this message this morning. Thank you
This burns my soul
Makes me want to yell... scream.... educate.... cry... you name it
I'm black in Florida.....my God
I’m originally from New England and have been living in Florida since 2015. I visited here many times while growing up and dreamt of one day, living here. My memories were always happy ones with family and friends. I guess wanting to move here was wanting to feel those same good feelings. However, over these last few years, those feelings have dissipated. I always thought of Florida as a free wheeling kind of state, and at first, that seemed like a good thing. But I was ignorant to a lot of the history of the state. It feels like it’s only free and fair if you agree with the status quo or if your not the “other”. I never considered myself a Democrat, or even a liberal But down here I am a liberal, a yuppie, a woke person and it’s led me to feel very alone. In the DMV, it felt like there was many different points of view but with a general respect of those points of views. I am married now, and the conversation of children is becoming more and more timely for us. I can’t help but to be afraid or concerned about the education that my children would receive in this state. My husband is a firm believer that our children learn not just from the school, but from home. So he is confident that no matter where our children go to school, they will get a well-rounded education. I still have my doubts. I’ve been slowly trying to convince him that we should move out of state. It makes me sad because the state used to bring so much joy to me I have family here he has family here, but we are both originally not from here. He is of Guyanese decent born in London and moved here. When he was 13 years old. I am of Puerto Rican decent born in Massachusetts. Both of us have experienced prejudice and racism throughout our lives here and there. But We are both proud of our heritage and plan on educating our children about both their heritage and many others too. I feel the fact that we have lived in different places throughout our lives especially him being from a different country has given us a lot of space to learn about many different people & cultures. Deep down I truly feel when children are exposed to many different points of view, cultures, people etc they become the best possible version of themselves for society. If that makes sense. Slowly Florida is turning more & more into a space where that isn’t possible or even comfortable. I like to think that it shouldn’t matter where we live, but in my heart, it’s slowly seeming to be almost impossible. Wish me luck on convincing him of moving to a more open minded and loving place.
Thank you Calvin for this exceptional video and educational speech. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for sharing ✊🏾✊🏾
Please don't leave. We need as many folk who want Florida to be that way again to stay and fight. Please stay and fight.
Florida is a southern state. until recently people behaved as if it wasnt. I always thought that was interesting. Florida has changed ever since Jeb Bush was elected. Early 2000 you could see a huge Confederate flag flying off I-75.
@@jusletursoulglobaby LOL! You can still see them off of I-10 and the one on the tollway between Orlando and Tampa was removed and replaced with first a big azz Trump flag and then one for DeSantis.
@@TheVuduYuDu oh LAWD last time I rolled thru I took the back highways and stayed of the interstate. mfs be driving like toddlers now. the ones on i-10... where they start? guessing outside ol Madison county?
Wow! That was one of the most extraordinary presentations, speaking on behalf of our collective sojourn. Well done, Calvin Michaels. You covered an entire graduate course in black American studies.
I often wonder if other scholars have examined what Cheikh Anta Diop reports from his research, whereby he strongly suggests that the European's development of the ethnic European "Other"...its origin traces as early as the end of the 13th Century.
Diop connects a clear nexus between the mythology of "racism" directed at the Moor's stretching through time up to and lasting long after the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition (Inquisición española), established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile.
Many scholars point to the birth of "Ethnocentric European "Otherism" as being at the heart of the exploitation of black life, which began in the Church with the Doctrine of Discovery "Inter Caetera" issued by Pope Alexander VI on May 4, 1493".
The "Doctrine of Discovery" is the singularity, the advent of racialized slavery. Divergent from all forms of slavery up to and until that point in time, that document and the commandment of the Pope is what became the basis of colonialism and modern European globalization that continues to determine the basis of the formation of the United Nations and permeates all treaties and trade agreements claims is the legal instrument that plagues black life today. When the Pope ordered the Christian armies to "put the African people into perpetual slavery" and "to take all their possessions and property."
Calvin, you always speak the truth with historical context and facts that back it all up! I love and appreciate you brother!
I'm one of your "silent" subscribers. I rarely comment but when I heard about
Ron DeSantis shenanigans, I said "Where's Calvin?". I really enjoy your content. Also, I noticed your collection of books. Have you thought about selling them?
I’m actually more of a collector so I’ve been racking up on books, vinyls, and cds lately.
I was my children 's first teacher and I taught black history on purpose! It didn't stop there, I also taught my grandkids, they who they are.
This part!! I dont know we keep moaning and groaning about a school system that wasn't even set up for us and the lack of knowledge. That's on US as the parents/elders etc.
I can listen to you all day
I ran this back like a newly released Tupac mixtape...
Calvin was SPITTING with this one!
👉🏾💯👈🏾
I love an educated man like yourself
I enjoyed every minute of it! I listened eagerly because I knew you would dropping a host of knowledge.
They are afraid that Grandma and Grandpa will show up in one of those books at a Klan meeting, ex, Jerry Jones. It’s hard to explain to a 2nd grader why Grandpa was at that Klan meeting or a hanging photo or why Grandma was trying to stop kids from going to school based on their race. Ron DeSantis I family is from my hometown, his Grandmother lived next door to me before she passed now his uncle lives in the house and he never mentions any relations to him but we had a few black men writing on Facebook that they would vote for him because he’s a hometown boy. I put the article on my Facebook Paige regarding what he’s doing and no one commented. Make it make sense.
Respect and Love King, we have to keep educating our young black children about what is "owed" to us, no man made religions/gods is going to save us from these savages that we call Europeans. PHD in Common Sense/P.B.E/Pro Black Everything
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 One of best, MOST EDUCATIONAL videos I have EVER WATCHED…and there are receipts! And as one living in Florida dealing with the fragile and backwards ego of Ron DeSantis, this resonates with me.
We have to create our own. They know once we unite spiritually, mentally, and financially at any cost, the gig is up.
You dropped a bomb, the mic - hell, you dropped the whole damned globe on this one!!
Thank you for sharing the story of Ocoee, FL. The black community never recovered from the violence of that time. The land they were forced to leave is worth millions today.
Brilliant report Mr. Calvin Michaels! Thank you for making it plain.
It’s exceptional at racism and discrimination. Exceptionally hypocritical.
Exactly.
Hypocritical? Hypocritical is saying that all is at fault of white people, but Africans had practiced slavery for hundreds of years before white people got there.
@@Gingerly8362 AND white people kept slavery going for over 400 years while calling themselves followers of Christ…so what do you call that?
@@niknikki86 would have not happened, if the same black people hadn’t started it by selling their own people as slaves.
Brotha, you're rolling out!!! THANK YOU for bringing it. I wish this video could be played in every School system.
Why?
You want everyone to be a crybaby activist?
@@teamamerica5987 you mad? 😎
@@dorothyharris6596 Happy. Desantis killed it 😅
Listening on Apple Music “ Power “ by the temptations a great message and dance beat.👊🏽❤❤❤💃🏾🕺🏿👊🏽POWER!!!!!!!!
A great high energy track!
No wonder why they didn’t play it on the radio, I know because I was there. Positive messaging !!!
Thank you;)
Thanks for all the hard work that you put into your videos. I get so much information from your videos.
I remember Arthur McDuffie I was only five years old but I witnessed the riot or rebellion in Miami in 1980 in Liberty City, Overtown and the Black Grove.
I just found your channel with this video, and you more than earned my sub. The way you went in here.... Inject it directly into my veins, good content!
Preach! Calvin, Preach!!!!! Thank you Sir!
Well said, young man. Nothing but the truth!!! Thank you! 👍🏽 BTW. You're so right, "We have to RIGHT the WRONGS!"
I have also held that America was not exceptional because their wealth was built upon free labor. Who couldn't be successful with free labor???
LOL! You think America's wealth was built off of slavery?
Your post proves why CRT is garbage and its proponents nothing more than useful idiots.
I’m so appreciative that I had an excellent Black History education in College in NY, in the 80’s and 90’s; excellent black professors who were knowledgeable and current. Also the Libraries were current with All types of books.
MASTERCLASS...!!!
Black history lacking educational relevance?... This is not the first time this has been said. It's actually the fight we had to get black history to be taught in schools in the first place. Love this!!! Can't wait to listen again (writing while listening) ...something you said, though in the beginning...That is what has been going on for a very long time. Did you know that Florida and Texas have a lot of curricula that the dept. of ed. bases the foundation of education?
What's not to like? You have accurately narrated the truth and when the past doesn't repeat itself it does often rhyme
New sub,you are so very,extremely(I know that means the same thing twice,but just needed to emphasize),intelligent.I can literally listen to you talk (teach)all day.Thank you for your informative and enriching content.Wow,I am learning and retaining and spreading the knowledge as should be.🙏
I know this is random, but please interview to be the new host of the Daily Show. It just seems... right. You are a brilliant human.
Wow, great but sadd information!! I am glad there are people like you to bring out the truth!!
This was so informative and potent.... #FACTS 💯
It’s so refreshing to see someone around my age speaking truth to power!!
You’re a breath of fresh day, thank you for sharing your perspective.
I will continue to support your channel.
I am GLAD I found your channel, Calvin Michaels. I grew up and taught history in FL for many years. I agree with your points, and I appreciate your commentary. It is much needed.
Standing ovation today Youngblood
You are not only very intelligent and lerned, you also have the gift of being able to astutely discern to decipher the lies and cut to the chase with precision to get to the meaty truth. You are brilliant, and truly a GOD-given TREASURE.
Thank you. A lot of people appear to be afraid to comment on this issue.
Calvin you are a gem. The work you put in and the quality of the content that comes out. Thank you. 👏🏾✊🏿💚❤🖤
This whole video is incredible. 100% accurate. Thank you man.
Calvin, thanks for displaying the best of US minus the emotions that most people engage in when discussing race relations, history and education. There is certainly a fear of highlighting our history and what we have contributed in the past and present. "We are American History and We always have value."
Brilliant content as always
I have so many Black history books that I’ve collected over the decades that I taught my kid’s BLACK HISTORY at home. There was no way I was letting a non-Black person teach our history.
Well done, young brother. Need 8 million more just like you.
The worst part is all the people who go to bat for you, fight for you, make a fool out of themselves telling other people they are wrong about you.
That sucks, because we don't have those problems but we show up.
Much respect. A powerful sweep of Freedmen history in less than one hour.
I never say we “contributed.” Chattel slaves and Freedmen BUILT. Immigrants contributed a little here & there (as did descendants of the Mayflower). But nothing got big without us.
Not only make them look bad it's FEEL bad and that's the problem not wanting to FEEL uncomfortable
Yeah the Daughters of the Confederacy maintain a Confederate Cemetery in Columbus Ohio which is the largest Confederate Cemetery outside of the American South. These were confederate soldiers that died at Camp Chase which was a training camp / prisoner-of-war camp during the Civil War.
I told my friend about this. shes in Jacksonville and had no clue. that frustrates me to no end. I was and am still pissed. the school board found the class has no educational merit. Ben Crump, FSU alum apparently is filing suit. Grand wizard like u said is doing it as part of the OVERALL strategy. It started with the nonsensical CRT debate and that no woke bill is the outcome. so now they can point to things like the AP class and say that it's illegal. and that's what they did.
You did a great job on this breakdown brotha. Thank you
Carry the torch young brother, your generation needs to hear, to know, to act!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾✊🏾
