That was nothing but colonization part 2. European immigration was big part of that. The idea was to reinforce white population which decreasing other native groups such as indigenous and Blacks or removing their rights. Even immigration history tells everything about it.

This is why reparations must be paid. No “minority” group has been treated this way, yet the others are quick to flaunt how easily they establish their communities and prosper. In fact, that only fuels the claim for reparations further. When Black Americans did attempt to prosper, their communities were burned out of hatred and spite. No white mobs burned down Chinatown, Little El Salvador, or Filipinotown. They exclusively targeted Black neighborhoods, and through hyper-policing, redlining, and home devaluation, they still do.
They'd have to take it from people who had nothing to do with the crime. How is that fair? Try to put your righteous indignation on hold and apply some reason. Stealing land to correct land being stolen isn't rational.
Those people bought stolen land, it's like driving around in a car you bought, not knowing it was stolen. When the law catches up to you, the stolen property have to be returned to the owners or their relatives...or it should. Then again, we're talking about America, a stolen country.

The fact that there was a story like this in the Stephen King novel "IT" and then they took it out of the movie version really pisses me off (along with the fact that they pretty much relegated Mike to a background character). It definitely added to the horror that was always baked into the existence of the town, that it was a place that was always haunted by evil. Why you would remove horror from a horror movie makes zero sense to me.
Sun downer towns, thankfully, it has been written about. Quite a few towns, actually according to American history, different races.Great film, Rosewood," John Singleton RIP 🙏 Thank you every day, Amy Goodman and team Democracy Now.
My wife and I visited and photographed the Historic Marker at Rosewood last year on our way to Cedar Key. Our photos are on Google Maps. In addition to the maker we also photographed the only remaining building from that era. The area has mostly returned to forest now. Florida has many small towns still entact that can be enjoyed to this day. It's a deep tragedy for the entire state that this place was obliterated by racist mob violence.
I agree but I think that's part of they can't just say something just for black people it had to be blacks in Hispanic of blacks and whoever it would be too much like right to just say black people.
As an old white man I am embarrassed for my ancestors, (mine fought for the North!) This is only a year after the Tulsa Race Massacre where hundreds were murdered and a town wiped out! The descendants of both massacres should be compensated for their families loss!
I'm embarrassed that people act like these same events aren't happening everyday currently. That overseas and inner cities still have Slavery and violence on this level.

“The truth will set us free,” said Sonia Johnson, “but first it will make us miserable”. Rage probably felt free, and letting habitual hate have a holiday from being human probably felt righteous when the destroyers were fired up and without limits. But now the very non-human status they projected onto their victims is plain to all. Time does it heal all wounds but it explains all scars. Murder will come out and shout names, numbers, species.
@@janettemasiello5560 The government and judiciary failed to compensate money, at the time of the crimes. ****Had The victims been Caucasians, they would have been compensated.
Hopefully, this adds context to understanding generational poverty in the black community. It's never been about the lack of initiative, lack of imagination, lack of a good work ethic, or the lack of a desire to build. Further disservice is done by not acknowledging the psychological trauma visited upon the community stemming from centuries of sanctioned domestic terror and shameless scapegoating.
Look into the history of every town and city in America and you will find a similar story. Not on the books, but talk to seniors, white and black...they remember, or have heard.
I remember learning about this, in private school. I wish all knew about it, not just blacks. Black wall street too. No! It was never presented in public schools.
This is what they call CRT this is what they do not want white children to know what their white ancestors did to poor people who was minding their own business
It’s funny that people are still alive to remember rosewood and Black Wall Street right now today that she says a lot about this country and their debt
@@bryantsells3640 The point is that we abolished slavery. Now let's talk about all those little kids in Africa slaving away in Cobalt mines for people's electric vehicles
@janette masiello sure we abolished slavery and then committed a hundred years of violent terrorism and denial of societal advancement from both the state and private citizens against black ppl. Americans always try to brush over that part. You can try to snarkily deny it if you want but the history is clear, this country owes us reparations.
We can no longer find it “unbelievable” or it will never change. And, it’s just power play. Begin with Bacon’s rebellion and look forward. You’ll find yourself saying, oh, that’s why we don’t have medical for the poor no matter what they look like. Follow the money

My mother don't know much about her grand folks and past because her father and mother didn't like to talk about it...Meanwhile in the Jewish community to not talk about what happened to their ancestors is dishonor. I think Black Americans who refuse to tell those stories are doing a disservice not only to their descendants but also to America as well as the world. Black American elders seem to bear a lot of shame for what happened to them or their parents back in those days but they shouldn't. They survived a living holocaust of their own and they should be proud to tell the story.
Thank you for this history! We will never forget❤️ The case for reparative justice for my people extends beyond chattel slavery. We're talking Jim Crow, lynchings, rapes, sundown towns, Rosewood, Tulsa, War on Drugs, Mass Incarceration, Redlining, Medical Apartheid, etc...The debt is owed!

Reparations for the descendants of the Black people who survived this horrific massacre and racial injustice and for the descendants of the Black people who didn't survive are long overdue. What happened to Rosewood happened to many Black towns and communities across the U.S. post-slavery. The government on all levels (federal, state, and local) failed to protect those Black towns and communities and failed to compensate them immediately following these horrific massacres and racial injustices to help them rebuild was only because the people adversely impacted were Black.

I blame the patriarchy for looking at females and minorities as possessions. I am both so this is double troubling for me. Compensation did not go far enough. This should be taught in every classroom! It is not! Both indigenous and black culture is erased from American history by design!
Blaming the patriarchy is shortsighted. Rightfully pointing the finger at white supremacy is technically correct because white women were just as complicity in perpetuating inequality for nonWhites and specifically targeting Black men and women for injustice and racial violence
“I blame the patriarchy.” This is white women evading responsibility. Maybe you’re not a white woman, but this is typically the BS they pull. In 2023, the white woman is equally as oppressive as the white man. She actually is starting to have more power than the white man. Regardless, all power goes back to the blanco society (I use blanco since I assume you’re Latina).

Also reparation should be 1 million dollars and building them a home of their choice wherever they want.

Watch how DeSantis will call this movie a form of CRT and ban it from the theaters.
So why don't they want the population to know about these horrible atrocities..

Because this history will show the whole world who the real criminals are and that racism is alive and well and has always been

Thank you Amy Goodman and team Democracy Now. As usual, the Comments are enlightening too.
What's even sadder if you was to ask a college student if they know anything about Rose Woods. They won't be able to tell you anything about it.
This is heart wrenching.
*Rosewood Genocide* This wasn't a mere massacre.
*Rosewood Pogrom*
The fact that there was a story like this in the Stephen King novel "IT" and then they took it out of the movie version really pisses me off (along with the fact that they pretty much relegated Mike to a background character). It definitely added to the horror that was always baked into the existence of the town, that it was a place that was always haunted by evil. Why you would remove horror from a horror movie makes zero sense to me.
Wow! Thanks for informing us as I love the 'It' movie. I'll check with my daughter as she had read the original book.
Cuz that kind of horror was real

Reparations Now
Cut The Check
My wife and I visited and photographed the Historic Marker at Rosewood last year on our way to Cedar Key. Our photos are on Google Maps. In addition to the maker we also photographed the only remaining building from that era. The area has mostly returned to forest now. Florida has many small towns still entact that can be enjoyed to this day. It's a deep tragedy for the entire state that this place was obliterated by racist mob violence.
Stop bringing up Hispanics when talking about reparations, we need to focus on ourselves first
I agree but I think that's part of they can't just say something just for black people it had to be blacks in Hispanic of blacks and whoever it would be too much like right to just say black people.
@@daphneytennard3267 I can't vote for anybody that's scared
As an old white man I am embarrassed for my ancestors, (mine fought for the North!) This is only a year after the Tulsa Race Massacre where hundreds were murdered and a town wiped out! The descendants of both massacres should be compensated for their families loss!
Ty Brother..
I'm embarrassed that people act like these same events aren't happening everyday currently. That overseas and inner cities still have Slavery and violence on this level.

“The truth will set us free,” said Sonia Johnson, “but first it will make us miserable”. Rage probably felt free, and letting habitual hate have a holiday from being human probably felt righteous when the destroyers were fired up and without limits. But now the very non-human status they projected onto their victims is plain to all. Time does it heal all wounds but it explains all scars. Murder will come out and shout names, numbers, species.
HalleluYah! That was beautifully written.
Thank you for covering this story. I watched the movie Rosewood yesterday based off this report. Highly recommend for all Democracy Now viewers
Thank you for this horrific education.
This is History, and should be taught never was taught in school I'm so disappointed in the way our ancestors was treated.

Hopefully, this adds context to understanding generational poverty in the black community. It's never been about the lack of initiative, lack of imagination, lack of a good work ethic, or the lack of a desire to build. Further disservice is done by not acknowledging the psychological trauma visited upon the community stemming from centuries of sanctioned domestic terror and shameless scapegoating.
Exactly, Tulsa, Oklahoma is another example of this.
@@wisdom1394 One of many. History is peppered with destroyed black communities: Lake Lanier, Lake Martin, and Central Park.

Look into the history of every town and city in America and you will find a similar story. Not on the books, but talk to seniors, white and black...they remember, or have heard.
It’s called “gentrification” today.
Stop 🛑 $2 million is not enough among 9 plus people.
Professor I’m so sorry for your loss 😮
I remember learning about this, in private school. I wish all knew about it, not just blacks. Black wall street too.
No! It was never presented in public schools.
This is what they call CRT this is what they do not want white children to know what their white ancestors did to poor people who was minding their own business
Dear Black community, please adopt the "We Will Never Forget" motto just like the you know who's have done.
That is not a nuff money. RIP.
It’s funny that people are still alive to remember rosewood and Black Wall Street right now today that she says a lot about this country and their debt
The Sick history of America it's absolutely putrid.
And there is still slavery in parts of Africa and the Middle East today.
Imagine that.
@janette masiello What does that have to do with America's history? Stop deflecting from the point
@@bryantsells3640
The point is that we abolished slavery.
Now let's talk about all those little kids in Africa slaving away in Cobalt mines for people's electric vehicles
@janette masiello sure we abolished slavery and then committed a hundred years of violent terrorism and denial of societal advancement from both the state and private citizens against black ppl. Americans always try to brush over that part. You can try to snarkily deny it if you want but the history is clear, this country owes us reparations.

FANTASTIC REPORTING 💔
My mother don't know much about her grand folks and past because her father and mother didn't like to talk about it...Meanwhile in the Jewish community to not talk about what happened to their ancestors is dishonor. I think Black Americans who refuse to tell those stories are doing a disservice not only to their descendants but also to America as well as the world. Black American elders seem to bear a lot of shame for what happened to them or their parents back in those days but they shouldn't. They survived a living holocaust of their own and they should be proud to tell the story.
Thank you for this history! We will never forget❤️ The case for reparative justice for my people extends beyond chattel slavery. We're talking Jim Crow, lynchings, rapes, sundown towns, Rosewood, Tulsa, War on Drugs, Mass Incarceration, Redlining, Medical Apartheid, etc...The debt is owed!
Everything will be exposed and completely revealed. Shalom.
Two lousy million dollars ...spit right in the face of every victim that suffered ..and now making money from Black American Horror ...not good
Wonderful documentary! Thank you. So much terror.
This is why its so sicking, that people like Thomas Sowell pretend not to know the reason the falling Black poverty rate was halted.
I love DN! Sometimes we need reflection for correction.. later this year in July (11th) will mark the 160 year since the 1863 Fort Tejon march, where Paiute Shoshone people were promised clothes, food, jobs etc… forced out of their homelands, over 1000 started, but only 150 made it to fort tejon.

Reparations for the descendants of the Black people who survived this horrific massacre and racial injustice and for the descendants of the Black people who didn't survive are long overdue. What happened to Rosewood happened to many Black towns and communities across the U.S. post-slavery. The government on all levels (federal, state, and local) failed to protect those Black towns and communities and failed to compensate them immediately following these horrific massacres and racial injustices to help them rebuild was only because the people adversely impacted were Black.
I feel you, I’m so ready to leave this GOD forsaken country. It’s horrible living in fear of your children And grandchildren’s lives because they are melanated and no Justice is ever served or ever will be.
Man that's fucked up. Shows how bad false accusations are
Sometimes whenever I read about or watch documentaries about these terrible events in the National Socialist states of America I really hate that country. I also hate the fact the NSA doesn't want to accept or acknowledge their dark past in regards to race.

When we were passing through on the way to Gainesville, I pulled over & took pictures of the plaque and green road sign that said Rosewood. I also took pictures of the forest.

2 million dollars in reparations is a joke compared to the damage that was done and what has happened since... It's horrible and not justified.
I blame the patriarchy for looking at females and minorities as possessions. I am both so this is double troubling for me. Compensation did not go far enough. This should be taught in every classroom! It is not! Both indigenous and black culture is erased from American history by design!
Blaming the patriarchy is shortsighted. Rightfully pointing the finger at white supremacy is technically correct because white women were just as complicity
in perpetuating inequality for nonWhites and specifically targeting Black men and women for injustice and racial violence
And capitalism. Capitalism was the reason why they needed slaves.
“I blame the patriarchy.” This is white women evading responsibility. Maybe you’re not a white woman, but this is typically the BS they pull.
In 2023, the white woman is equally as oppressive as the white man. She actually is starting to have more power than the white man. Regardless, all power goes back to the blanco society (I use blanco since I assume you’re Latina).
wow. 2 million dollars in reparations... between six survivors...
