Welfare cutbacks against black people who need the welfare to buy food because segregation is preventing them from having jobs. Instead of increasing job access, creating higher paying jobs, or increasing welfare payments, he says "we built community colleges" as a copout. Wallace avoids it, but if you use context clues you'll understand.
As I am not a fan of George Wallace, I completely agree with what he is saying about the "man" staying in the home with the woman and kids that's receiving benefits. I don't think it's right. An able body man should not be free loading on a woman's money that is used to take care of her kids. I see it happen first hand all the time. Some men don't work, nor take the initiative to provide for a family. So the woman and man should be held accountable. If they are able to have sexual intercourse and have babies, and want to live together, they should not ask for government help by being in a two parent home to take care of their offspring, if they cannot, then that mean they were not ready to have kids. And I am sorry to say, but this happens a lot in the black community and I am a black woman.

I graduated High School in a medium sized town in eastern North Carolina. If you look at my yearbook, it is about 50/50 black/white. I looked at my cousin's yearbook who went to public High School in Cedarhurst Long Island and there is NOT ONE black or Hispanic face in her entire school. The South does not need lectures from these Yankee hypocrites.
It's actually very difficult to die of starvation in the deep South, especially back in the days where most folks lived off the land. Ponds, lakes, rivers are full of fish and readily available 12 months out of the year, trees are full of fruit half the year and can be canned for the other half, and gardens grow by simply throwing seed into the earth and watching vegetables grow before your eyes. Not to mention the chickens, eggs, cows and goats for milk, etc. You'd have to be either really lazy or really stupid to starve in the deep South.
You make an excellent point. My parents were children of sharecroppers in S. La. and their families never had any money to speak of, yet they never went hungry. They survived by working hard and living off the land. Poor city folk certainly don't have that advantage. The Great Depression essentially had no effect on their lives... in fact, the were in a rather enviable position compared to their poor city living counterparts.
unless they were dustbowl okies like my grandparents! you couldnt live off the land in oklahoma back during the dust bowl! ppl couldnt farm the land there then cause nothing grew but tumbleweeds! thats why they all went to california!
And its true we always had food....even if we didn't have anything else, because everyone grew their own garden . It was commonly known - it was a way of life
Fascinating. Illegitimacy was a problem then just as it is now. Mechanization of agriculture did throw blacks off the land. In the end, life in the rural South is better than in the urban slums of the North. Didn't hear segregation discussed at all.
It's interesting watching this In 2023 because it's clear to see that they are manipulative agents... back then people probably had more trust and thought they were honest journalists. Since Trump exposed MSM it's clear that the manipulation and tactics have been in play since at least the 1960's ...and gradually got worse
Luke Roman "Creating access to education-and job training-doesn't ease the plight of those without jobs???" Not if, as in the case of Alabama in those days, the state was only attractive to employers who favored a low wage economy built on systemic racism and class oppression. Alabama was hemorrhaging its work force- had been for the better part of the century- and was badly underdeveloped as a result of that "paternalistic" way of life the Governor refers to so sedately. Job-training without decent jobs is a dead end. Another factor in Alabama's poverty was the entrenched hostility to labor unions in the state. Combine that with a meager educational system, bad infrastructure, almost non-existent social welfare provision, and you had just about the poorest state in the union. On top of which, there was a religious culture of bible-bashing ignorance that held sway on most issues of the day. Alabama just wasn't an inviting location for uplifting investment.
Well in 68 there was a lot of folks in the south goning up north to work the pay was a lot better but in 2019 all those Yankees are moving south because liberal police's have destroyed a lot of north eastern states and once they move south they try to implement those same rules and laws that have crippled the north east
They wouldn’t let Governor Wallace Answer their Questions. All they’re interested in is sayin their peace & that’s all they Did. When you can’t give someone the simple courtesy of replying to your question you’re usually WRONG.
true it would be wonderful to all get along or at least have peace and a good life for all BUT as long as the US government continues to stir the pot, it shall never be
Mike if you listen carefully he did speak in his policies what the interview was trying to say and i feel made the point eloquently; " Your policy is not working"
It's crazy to say but this guy was against welfare and rightly so. Now we have a good portion of our population so dependant on welfare that they would die without it.
That's because your listening comprehension is shit. The "system" that he described in the beginning which he alleged kept people from starving in Alabama, *it's segregation that he's talking about!*
In 1963, George Wallace stood in the door of the University of Alabama to prevent integration of the University. By 1969, George Wallace was making phone calls to Black high school players to come play football at the University of Alabama. The south changed with dizzying speed in the '60s.
Mark Flierl They decided to go all Black. It was about 5 years ago. No idea how it went. In many mixed schools, they decided on not having police anymore under the pressure of BLM.
George is speaking the truth and I'm a black man, Mr. Ali said he liked Gov Wallace because he didn't sugarcoat highly debatable subjects like racial integration. I totally agree with his personal stances in this particular interview because he wouldn't waiver from his views even when it was clear the interviewers wasn't buying into what they thought was BS
If you look at today's comments on the News from Blacks, activists, BLM, Congressional Black Caucus, many are proposing "Segregation." Having a Congressional Black Caucus is one example of separating-segregating themselves from the other groups, but there are many who advocate separate Commencement ceremonies, dances, groups with whites absolutely not welcome---so, this interview isn't that abnormal, as blacks today advocate for separation in many ways. Look at Muslims--they want their own courts, halal food-handling laws, mosques, "No-Go" Zones, etc. Natural separation is normal, natural sorting. This what Gov. Wallace advocates is not that out of the normal.
I believe the caption writer was referring to the statement at 1:04, where Gov. Wallace defended the system that grew up in the South in the years after the Civil War. He may have actually been talking about the sharecropping system and the employment of African Americans as field hands, which in his view at least kept people fed. Although Gov. Wallace certainly opposed integration in his day.
Terri henricks i was looking for it too. And as soon as I don't speak english as my first language, I was having a bad time to understand what he was saying on that particular part. What a hard accent to me!
That was Tom Pettit and he actually worked for NBC. He is best remembered for reporting live from the basement of Dallas police headquarters when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald.
The video clearly tells us the interrogator's title. @ 0:25. I see no evidence of him being a reporter. It looks as if Gov. Wallace was speaking to a panel of scholars.
Notice how the talking-heads continually interrupt Wallace and change the subject when Wallace's answers start making sense? Just like today. It must be a 3-credit course in Journalism School: "Mastering the Purposeful Interruption of Anyone Who Disagrees With You -101"
you mean he started fact checking when he was saying bs? that's how journalism should be. now days we need more of this. he let him speak, and then corrected him when he said something factually incorrect etc... please clarify what you mean?
Who said it was BS? He gave a reason about certain welfare disbursements, and why they are not disbursed, and they interrupted him. I would have like to have heard what he said next, but it didn't fit the agenda of the media, so they cut him off.
early on it seemed like they were fact checking, but I did notice that i some parts they did cut him off and said "ok time to go before he could finish. they do have time limits, but they could have let him explain himself more. but you still do hve to fact check, the tiems I was talking about was when he was saying something and they were like "but actually... which is called fact checking.
"So segregation makes sense to your punk ass?" Lol why do blacks need to be integrated with whites? What makes whites so special, that whites have to be forced to associate with them? You aren't giving blacks that much credit are you? I mean they can make it on their own..right?
Why have a guest on and not allow him to speak ? How many times was Gov.Wallace interrupted in this 6 minute clip ? You may not like what he has to say, but why not allow him to say it ? You did invite him on the show after all.
This guy was crazy - he supported segregation, used black prison labor, went through two bitter divorces, and offended countless people in his lifetime.
@Jim Elliott yeah, prison labor isn't a good thing. It shouldn't have happened then, it shouldn't be happening now. Just because it still happens doesn't mean it's good.
The Nordic countries have the most developed welfare states of the planet, high taxes, and their standard of living is higher than the US, as well as reported happiness.
That will all change for the worse once their population becomes more than 10% non-white. Sweden has gone so far downhill since the early 2000s it's not even funny, just sad.
How many people in the United States, then or now, are hungry for any reason other than misuse of funds provided or failure to notify the appropriate official of their need? Just asking.
Yes, the title is fake but I find this interview to be interesting nonetheless. Interesting that the reporter wanted to end there when he was discussing non-white employment. If it wasn't mislabeled, would anyone have watched? I think it was eye-opening to a list of questionable narratives the reporter was trying to lead with.
5:15 "When a man is employed, the family cannot get public welfare. He must leave that family before they can go onto welfare rolls". This was by design. Target poor families & get them to choose between food and a family.
I agree with former Gov. Wallace if a man is able body he should work. My daddy worked by the sweat of his brows and my mama worked. But in this century we have stay at home dads. We continue having people getting over with the Welfare. If Gov. Wallace was still alive I think he would vote for Thrump. And btw I say it sound BLACK AND PROUD!!!
such a great man.. like when he tired to stop black from going to schools. but what can i expect from a trump supporter lol. aaww look at your photo looks like someone got offended :(. you are probably watching the nfl right now lol. using the anthem for money purposes because thats the only reason they play it, not because the nfl owners are patriots is much more offensive than what those players did.
"The results" are kidding?! Buhahahahaha. Alabama is the poorest state of the union, they leach from government programs just like all red state like there's no tomorrow.
I will give him a bit of credit for admitting that part of the problem was families moving to cities without being ready for city life. Where you aren’t able to live off the land and thus need money to eat, but for those black families who moved to Birmingham and not Detroit, segregation made the problem far far worse.
George Wallace was good. The south fell apart after segregation. This video was just another North vs. South video. If segregation stood, I would move to the Southeast.
George Wallace was a Segregationist and a Racist but most of all he was a Politician. He backed the issues that he thought would get him elected. Once Segregation and systemic racism became impossible to sustain; he embraced the new Democratic platform and embraced the Welfare culture that took over our country. He did do a lot of good things after that. Like he mentioned; the community college system in Alabama. Also; great improvement in rural infrastructure happened during his time. I was very surprised to find out that a lot of black people, in Alabama, that are old enough to remember him, actually remember him fondly
The south always knew what was coming (the results of the governments mandates and meddling) And its true we always had food....even if we didn't have anything else, because everyone grew their own garden . It was commonly known - it was a way of life
The governor’s double tongued idiocy, unabashed lying and whataboutism gave a little taste of what was to come in the form of the MAGA GOP decades later.
Curtis Rupp Except it really helped in eliminating racist traitors like Wallace. The man who shot him may have saved thousands of Americans lives considering how fascist Wallace was, so I am very thankful for the hero who shot Wallace and am sorry he’s not here now to take care of #TRAITORTRUMP
these commentators are totally unfair to him.. he's answering the questions they act like they don't hear his answer then they cut him off at the end rudely saying they're out of time , blatantly rude
That's because the goal of news reporters is NOT to REPORT....but to shake up and INTERROGATE and cut the interviewee off short so that they can make them (appear as if they cant answer) which makes the interviewee appear to have done something wrong
Give me a break, the news was probably at its peak during this time in terms of impartiality. Wallace is deflecting, trying to discredit the source, etc. Wallace was a racist and liar.
He said the inequality and disadvantages southern Blacks were having had absolutely nothing to do with institutional racism that segregated and successfully barred them from voting or getting a well-paid job. That is pretty much same as defending segregation. If you believe that it is true, then maybe you should go talk to your representative to bring back segregation.
Well we all know he was for segregation at one point and against busing. Turned out he was spot on about busing. But not only hurt white students but also Black students. The only people that benefited from busing where white northern liberals who could feel a little less guilty...
The problems stemmed from the pathetic and poorly educated parents. We kids were fine. Racism is taught at home...so most of the people in this discussion should have been neutered or spayed.
This guy was one of the most despicable racist bastards of his generation, many black people died due to this mans actions and words. Do your research.
Same damn bunch of bigots we have now. They want their side heard but they don’t want to hear your side they don’t think you have a right to talk at all
We have to remember that a mixed race society is a new idea. Were trying to learn to live together and get along but as we have witnessed, its not easy.
true it would be wonderful to all get along or at least have peace and a good life for all BUT as long as the US government continues to stir the pot, it shall never be
@Alabama Patriot southern democrats were not what we today see as conservative. to pretend otherwise is idiotic. many of them were socialists just not with blacks pretending they didnt have similar ideologies to todays democrats is rewriting history
George Wallace had flaws, but he was a better politician then than *any* we’ve got today. They don’t even get useful public works accomplished anymore, they just argue endlessly over frivolous dogma and only care about getting re-elected so they can continue to garner cushy benefits off the public dime. It’s disgusting.
Racists both then and now believe that we cant see their racism. But their racism is clear, evident, and blinding. Its like a naked person who streaks thinking that nobody sees his junk hanging out. In reality everyone sees it, but are too afraid to say anything.
Wallace was a DEMOCRAT who defended segregation. The Confederate flag is a representation of the southern DEMOCRATIC party. Why blacks choose to be part of that party is beyond me.
You know that is not the party that is the Democratic Party today. These former Dixiecrat Democrats became Republicans after 1964 and they are now parts of the Republican Party. David Hoffman filmmaker
@@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker I got to disagree with you there. That is the story liberals like to push. Malcolm X exposed that. I think the racism of the democrats is no longer in the open, but done at home at the dinner table. Blacks are worse off now than before thanks to Lyndon Johnsons "Welfare Bill". I will admit though that both parties now ain't worth a dime.
Democrats were the conservatives back then. It's surprising how many right-wingers there are that still don't know or deny the fact that the parties basically switched and try take credit for freeing the slaves. There was a major political realignment during the 1960s. Back in the day, white racist southerners overwhelmingly voted Democrat instead Republican. White racist southerners were outraged by the Civil Rights movement however and left the democrat party to join the Republican party. The political landscape we know today has only been around for a little over 25 years. In fact it's always changing. There are political realignments going on all the time. Georgia for example is looking like it graduated from red state to red-leaning swing state. The seeds of the party switch of the 1960s really started to get planted after WW2 when the democrats desegregated the army and included civil rights for black Americans in the 1948 democratic platform. Shit like this enraged white southern democrats so much they defected to form the dixiecrats or states rights democrats. This shows how irrational and uncompromising racist people are since the democratic support for civil rights back then was tepid at best. Republican leaders noticed the dissatisfaction and saw it as a golden oppurtunity to increase political support among white voters in the South so they consciously tried to appeal to them with candidates like Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was more effective in reaching voters because he appealed to racial fears without directly talking about race by using dog whistles like "the Silent Majority" or "Law and Order". This electoral strategy was what became known as the Southern Strategy. Republicans still use coded racism in their rhetoric to this very day. Trump's "America First" is another example, but Trump is mainly just recycling Nixon's dog whistles. I should probably clarify wtf a dog whistle is for those who are unfamiliar. A dog whistle is a political term for words and phrases that are harmless sounding enough to the point where most non suspecting people think nothing of it while others who can read between the lines know that said phrases are low-key racist statement. Some modern examples of dog whistles that have gotten popular right past five years are phrases like "All Lives Matter" and "It's okay to be white". Ok That second one isn't too subtle actually. About the Southern strategy, major Republican campaign consultant Lee Atwater even admitted that "Law and Order" is a dog whistle for anti minority sentiments. Here's an interesting youtube link for those who still think I'm lying because they're brainwashed by right wing propaganda outlets like PragerU. ua-cam.com/video/x_8e3enrkrq/v-deo.html While it's true the democrats in the south fought for slavery and founded the kkk, their racist great grandchildren vote for Republicans today. A modern kkk member would never vote for a democrat now. Saying shit like Republicans freed the slaves or Jefferson Davis was a Democrat doesn't prove a point. It just shows that you're ignorant of history and that you think the political dynamics of today are exactly the same as the ones 150 years ago. Although Abraham Lincoln did say racist shit in the 1860 presidential debates he was still the more liberal candidate back then. Some of the shit Lincoln said is actually surprising left leaning and sounded a lot like something Marx would say. Just look at this Lincoln quote bro. "As most good things are produced by labor, it follows that all such things ought to belong to those whose labor has produced them. But it has happened in all ages of the world that some have labored, and others, without labor, have enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor as nearly as possible is a worthy object of any good government," The first Republican president was a socialist and modern conservatives don't even know it lmao. Lincoln was even pen pals with Karl Marx. I'm not joking, you can look all this up if you don't believe me. Being against slavery is clearly the left wing position to have by the way. A lot of you might be more left leaning than you realize. No one should be able to profit off of human misery in that grotesque a manner. The Union army during the civil war was even led by an actual communist general. His name was August Willich! Willich plotted to kill Karl Marx for being too conservative. Willich publicly insulted Marx and challenged him to a duel, which Marx refused to fight. It's interesting to note that most confederate soldiers didn't even own slaves, the wealthy plantation owners did. Poor Southerners didn't benefit from slavery, but they hated black people so much that they fought and died for the right of rich people to own slaves, just so they can keep black people miserable. Bootlickers back then, bootlickers now. Modern conservative voters are the exact same way. The Republican is anti-worker and pro-corporation yet they still vote for them to uphold white supremacy when in reality they're voting against their best interest. It's very much intentional that stuff about Lincoln isn't common knowledge since the capitalist class shaped the education system and much of the media we consume. They clearly don't want to spread leftist messaging or acknowledge how a lot of revered historical figures were actually socialists or social democrats. Some of these figures include MLK, Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Pablo Picasso, and George Orwell. This is why it is very important for everyone to do their own research and not take the word of people who benefit from the working class staying willfully ignorant. Don't believe everything PragerU tells you, they're funded by oil billionaires. Which is why they have videos advocating for the fossel fuel industry. That Prager U party switch video of theirs has been debunked multiple times on youtube.
@@daryll4808 so you’re saying that you would of voted for Dwight Eisenhower, teddy Roosevelt and Lincoln? You might want to hear what Dwight Eisenhower said about his party. He was moderately conservative but socially liberal. And he didn’t like how his party was shifting more to the right, and that was back in the 50’s. Theodore Roosevelt was a Lincoln Republican. Moderately progressive. That’s when the Republican Party first started to split. Where the Lincoln republicans (Theodore Roosevelt) came up with the bull moose progressive party, and the other republicans went down a different road. Parties have changed and shifted throughout the decades. Same with democrats and republicans today! The MAGA republicans are splitting away from the republicans. While the socialist are splitting away from the moderate democrats.
If U don’t want to mix then fine and tbh segregation would have been fine if separate and equal meant separate and equal but it never did. Black people were forced to become second class citizens
Never liked G Wallace but I will admit that he had some similar ideas reflecting the Welfare Reform Act of the 90's. The single mother should be allowed the ability, resources and direct responsibility to provide a future and economic freedom. I still like the idea that a dead beat boyfriend/ex baby daddy CANNOT move in without providing his fare share or using that welfare money to support his habbits and comfort...
Eric Al I support it too. Too many of those men take advantage of women just to have a place to live! Fuck those worthless fucks. It was a great idea imo.
Mi Ri The same B.S. can be said for Hispanics. If you ask the older Hispanics (those over 60), they would say the same: Hispanics had it better in the 60s and 70s.
MC, In my original post where did it say "Had it better before?" Like I said, do your own research and educate yourself on "why" the Black Muslim movement of the 1960's. suggested that..

unless they were dustbowl okies like my grandparents! you couldnt live off the land in oklahoma back during the dust bowl! ppl couldnt farm the land there then cause nothing grew but tumbleweeds! thats why they all went to california!
And its true we always had food....even if we didn't have anything else, because everyone grew their own garden . It was commonly known - it was a way of life
It's the same bunch of meddling "do-gooders" that scream about obesity in the South today!
Fascinating. Illegitimacy was a problem then just as it is now. Mechanization of agriculture did throw blacks off the land. In the end, life in the rural South is better than in the urban slums of the North. Didn't hear segregation discussed at all.
They treated Gov Wallace horribly. They wouldnt even let him answer a question!

Creating access to education-and job training-doesn't ease the plight of those without jobs???
Luke Roman "Creating access to education-and job training-doesn't ease the plight of those without jobs???"
Not if, as in the case of Alabama in those days, the state was only attractive to employers who favored a low wage economy built on systemic racism and class oppression. Alabama was hemorrhaging its work force- had been for the better part of the century- and was badly underdeveloped as a result of that "paternalistic" way of life the Governor refers to so sedately. Job-training without decent jobs is a dead end. Another factor in Alabama's poverty was the entrenched hostility to labor unions in the state. Combine that with a meager educational system, bad infrastructure, almost non-existent social welfare provision, and you had just about the poorest state in the union. On top of which, there was a religious culture of bible-bashing ignorance that held sway on most issues of the day. Alabama just wasn't an inviting location for uplifting investment.
Tom-Some of those things-ie low wage/anti-Union-are very attractive to business investment.
Luke you obviously get it. Not sure what everyone else missed.

I didn't hear anything about segregation. False and misleading title. Fake title
That's because your listening comprehension is shit. The "system" that he described in the beginning which he alleged kept people from starving in Alabama, *it's segregation that he's talking about!*
@Dan D. Dirges They're talking about black families starving due to not being able to find work because of segregation. Context clues buddy.
In 1963, George Wallace stood in the door of the University of Alabama to prevent integration of the University. By 1969, George Wallace was making phone calls to Black high school players to come play football at the University of Alabama. The south changed with dizzying speed in the '60s.
Surprised? With a name like David Hoffman naming the title, did you think it was going to have an ounce of truth in it? 😂😂😂😂😂
@Milton Holley I didn't say he wasn't a good governor, I said he was a racist piece of trash
Here in Toronto in Canada, we are back to segregation. Some schools have decided to go All Black. Only Black students are allowed in these schools.
Mark Flierl They decided to go all Black. It was about 5 years ago. No idea how it went. In many mixed schools, they decided on not having police anymore under the pressure of BLM.
George is speaking the truth and I'm a black man, Mr. Ali said he liked Gov Wallace because he didn't sugarcoat highly debatable subjects like racial integration. I totally agree with his personal stances in this particular interview because he wouldn't waiver from his views even when it was clear the interviewers wasn't buying into what they thought was BS
I mistook Wallace to be a bad man; I no longer believe that.
You can't base that off one interview read the hold story not just the fun previews
If you look at today's comments on the News from Blacks, activists, BLM, Congressional Black Caucus, many are proposing "Segregation." Having a Congressional Black Caucus is one example of separating-segregating themselves from the other groups, but there are many who advocate separate Commencement ceremonies, dances, groups with whites absolutely not welcome---so, this interview isn't that abnormal, as blacks today advocate for separation in many ways. Look at Muslims--they want their own courts, halal food-handling laws, mosques, "No-Go" Zones, etc. Natural separation is normal, natural sorting. This what Gov. Wallace advocates is not that out of the normal.
I find it funny the color didn't work when Wallace was in frame.
Umm-I'm confused; when does he defend segregation?
I believe the caption writer was referring to the statement at 1:04, where Gov. Wallace defended the system that grew up in the South in the years after the Civil War. He may have actually been talking about the sharecropping system and the employment of African Americans as field hands, which in his view at least kept people fed. Although Gov. Wallace certainly opposed integration in his day.
Terri henricks i was looking for it too. And as soon as I don't speak english as my first language, I was having a bad time to understand what he was saying on that particular part. What a hard accent to me!
Pretty much his entire adult life till he was shot by Bremer and relegated to wheelchair. He admitted he was wrong and passed away.

Who said it was BS? He gave a reason about certain welfare disbursements, and why they are not disbursed, and they interrupted him.
I would have like to have heard what he said next, but it didn't fit the agenda of the media, so they cut him off.
early on it seemed like they were fact checking, but I did notice that i some parts they did cut him off and said "ok time to go before he could finish. they do have time limits, but they could have let him explain himself more. but you still do hve to fact check, the tiems I was talking about was when he was saying something and they were like "but actually... which is called fact checking.

That will all change for the worse once their population becomes more than 10% non-white. Sweden has gone so far downhill since the early 2000s it's not even funny, just sad.

Yes, the title is fake but I find this interview to be interesting nonetheless. Interesting that the reporter wanted to end there when he was discussing non-white employment. If it wasn't mislabeled, would anyone have watched? I think it was eye-opening to a list of questionable narratives the reporter was trying to lead with.
I just hate they wouldn't let him answers the questions. That's not proper dialogue
5:15 "When a man is employed, the family cannot get public welfare. He must leave that family before they can go onto welfare rolls". This was by design. Target poor families & get them to choose between food and a family.
I agree with former Gov. Wallace if a man is able body he should work. My daddy worked by the sweat of his brows and my mama worked. But in this century we have stay at home dads. We continue having people getting over with the Welfare. If Gov. Wallace was still alive I think he would vote for Thrump. And btw I say it sound BLACK AND PROUD!!!

Everywhere multiculturalism is there are big problems. Thank God Generation Z is waking up
I will give him a bit of credit for admitting that part of the problem was families moving to cities without being ready for city life. Where you aren’t able to live off the land and thus need money to eat, but for those black families who moved to Birmingham and not Detroit, segregation made the problem far far worse.
George Wallace was good. The south fell apart after segregation. This video was just another North vs. South video. If segregation stood, I would move to the Southeast.
"George Wallace was good"
So was Arthur Bremer.
Wow. You’re a piece of shit

The South fell apart for whites because they almost had to treat black people fairly in public, is that what you mean
George Wallace was a Segregationist and a Racist but most of all he was a Politician. He backed the issues that he thought would get him elected. Once Segregation and systemic racism became impossible to sustain; he embraced the new Democratic platform and embraced the Welfare culture that took over our country. He did do a lot of good things after that. Like he mentioned; the community college system in Alabama. Also; great improvement in rural infrastructure happened during his time. I was very surprised to find out that a lot of black people, in Alabama, that are old enough to remember him, actually remember him fondly
The south always knew what was coming (the results of the governments mandates and meddling) And its true we always had food....even if we didn't have anything else, because everyone grew their own garden . It was commonly known - it was a way of life
The governor’s double tongued idiocy, unabashed lying and whataboutism gave a little taste of what was to come in the form of the MAGA GOP decades later.

Give me a break, the news was probably at its peak during this time in terms of impartiality. Wallace is deflecting, trying to discredit the source, etc. Wallace was a racist and liar.
Where did he defend segregation?
He said the inequality and disadvantages southern Blacks were having had absolutely nothing to do with institutional racism that segregated and successfully barred them from voting or getting a well-paid job. That is pretty much same as defending segregation. If you believe that it is true, then maybe you should go talk to your representative to bring back segregation.
Well we all know he was for segregation at one point and against busing. Turned out he was spot on about busing. But not only hurt white students but also Black students. The only people that benefited from busing where white northern liberals who could feel a little less guilty...

Wallace was a DEMOCRAT who defended segregation. The Confederate flag is a representation of the southern DEMOCRATIC party. Why blacks choose to be part of that party is beyond me.
You know that is not the party that is the Democratic Party today. These former Dixiecrat Democrats became Republicans after 1964 and they are now parts of the Republican Party.
David Hoffman filmmaker
@@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker I got to disagree with you there. That is the story liberals like to push. Malcolm X exposed that. I think the racism of the democrats is no longer in the open, but done at home at the dinner table. Blacks are worse off now than before thanks to Lyndon Johnsons "Welfare Bill". I will admit though that both parties now ain't worth a dime.
Democrats were the conservatives back then. It's surprising how many right-wingers there are that still don't know or deny the fact that the parties basically switched and try take credit for freeing the slaves. There was a major political realignment during the 1960s. Back in the day, white racist southerners overwhelmingly voted Democrat instead Republican. White racist southerners were outraged by the Civil Rights movement however and left the democrat party to join the Republican party. The political landscape we know today has only been around for a little over 25 years. In fact it's always changing. There are political realignments going on all the time. Georgia for example is looking like it graduated from red state to red-leaning swing state.
The seeds of the party switch of the 1960s really started to get planted after WW2 when the democrats desegregated the army and included civil rights for black Americans in the 1948 democratic platform. Shit like this enraged white southern democrats so much they defected to form the dixiecrats or states rights democrats. This shows how irrational and uncompromising racist people are since the democratic support for civil rights back then was tepid at best.
Republican leaders noticed the dissatisfaction and saw it as a golden oppurtunity to increase political support among white voters in the South so they consciously tried to appeal to them with candidates like Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was more effective in reaching voters because he appealed to racial fears without directly talking about race by using dog whistles like "the Silent Majority" or "Law and Order". This electoral strategy was what became known as the Southern Strategy.
Republicans still use coded racism in their rhetoric to this very day. Trump's "America First" is another example, but Trump is mainly just recycling Nixon's dog whistles. I should probably clarify wtf a dog whistle is for those who are unfamiliar. A dog whistle is a political term for words and phrases that are harmless sounding enough to the point where most non suspecting people think nothing of it while others who can read between the lines know that said phrases are low-key racist statement. Some modern examples of dog whistles that have gotten popular right past five years are phrases like "All Lives Matter" and "It's okay to be white". Ok That second one isn't too subtle actually.
About the Southern strategy, major Republican campaign consultant Lee Atwater even admitted that "Law and Order" is a dog whistle for anti minority sentiments. Here's an interesting youtube link for those who still think I'm lying because they're brainwashed by right wing propaganda outlets like PragerU.
ua-cam.com/video/x_8e3enrkrq/v-deo.html
While it's true the democrats in the south fought for slavery and founded the kkk, their racist great grandchildren vote for Republicans today. A modern kkk member would never vote for a democrat now. Saying shit like Republicans freed the slaves or Jefferson Davis was a Democrat doesn't prove a point. It just shows that you're ignorant of history and that you think the political dynamics of today are exactly the same as the ones 150 years ago. Although Abraham Lincoln did say racist shit in the 1860 presidential debates he was still the more liberal candidate back then. Some of the shit Lincoln said is actually surprising left leaning and sounded a lot like something Marx would say. Just look at this Lincoln quote bro.
"As most good things are produced by labor, it follows that all such things ought to belong to those whose labor has produced them. But it has happened in all ages of the world that some have labored, and others, without labor, have enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor as nearly as possible is a worthy object of any good government,"
The first Republican president was a socialist and modern conservatives don't even know it lmao. Lincoln was even pen pals with Karl Marx. I'm not joking, you can look all this up if you don't believe me. Being against slavery is clearly the left wing position to have by the way. A lot of you might be more left leaning than you realize. No one should be able to profit off of human misery in that grotesque a manner. The Union army during the civil war was even led by an actual communist general. His name was August Willich! Willich plotted to kill Karl Marx for being too conservative. Willich publicly insulted Marx and challenged him to a duel, which Marx refused to fight. It's interesting to note that most confederate soldiers didn't even own slaves, the wealthy plantation owners did. Poor Southerners didn't benefit from slavery, but they hated black people so much that they fought and died for the right of rich people to own slaves, just so they can keep black people miserable. Bootlickers back then, bootlickers now. Modern conservative voters are the exact same way. The Republican is anti-worker and pro-corporation yet they still vote for them to uphold white supremacy when in reality they're voting against their best interest.
It's very much intentional that stuff about Lincoln isn't common knowledge since the capitalist class shaped the education system and much of the media we consume. They clearly don't want to spread leftist messaging or acknowledge how a lot of revered historical figures were actually socialists or social democrats. Some of these figures include MLK, Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Pablo Picasso, and George Orwell. This is why it is very important for everyone to do their own research and not take the word of people who benefit from the working class staying willfully ignorant. Don't believe everything PragerU tells you, they're funded by oil billionaires. Which is why they have videos advocating for the fossel fuel industry. That Prager U party switch video of theirs has been debunked multiple times on youtube.
@@daryll4808 so you’re saying that you would of voted for Dwight Eisenhower, teddy Roosevelt and Lincoln? You might want to hear what Dwight Eisenhower said about his party. He was moderately conservative but socially liberal. And he didn’t like how his party was shifting more to the right, and that was back in the 50’s. Theodore Roosevelt was a Lincoln Republican. Moderately progressive. That’s when the Republican Party first started to split. Where the Lincoln republicans (Theodore Roosevelt) came up with the bull moose progressive party, and the other republicans went down a different road.

Hence all the previous slave states that used to be blue before the civil rights act are now red to this day and beyond.Pay close attention to what states voted against the civil rights bill and note that they were democratic at the time. Now those states are deeply red. Better a useful idiot than a useless one.
