As a 60 yr old White lady born and raised in a small S. Texas town I can remember the town being segregated. I remember the loose use of the N word, the separate schools and churches. It never felt right to me when the Bible taught me different. We can't go back to a time so fueled by hatred and cruelty. 💔
It looks like you MAY have paid attention in Sunday school. These modern day evangelicals have turn me quickly away from the church. Because I'm not down with THE JESUS these folks are spouting!
@capoislamort100 love it! Race I a man made construct created to subjugate and brainwash generations of people around the world! We live on the same planet! We have the same biological needs, organs, etc. So to tell someone based simply byTHE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, gives you the RIGHT to call me everything but a child of GOD, just because you lack melanin. If you want to get scientific-ish. Whites have thin hair, light eyes, thin lips, adipose fat is distributed differently [flat behinds, thin thighs] and other attributes. i would venture to say, whites are UNDER DEVELOPE. While the rich dark chocolate skin color, thick hair, lucious lips, genetically faster, stronger etc. You can see what im getting at! If broken down to dba there is only a 0.007% DIFFERENCE between the "races". That's an absolute fact!
We should have been encouraging them to write more books and journals when they were still vibrant now they are older and forgetting what it was like genuinely a sad situation
Really that's what you got out of what Byron Donalds said wow... I guess it's true what Pastor Manning said about his people which wasn't very pleasant. Which I'll repeat what he said in a much nicer way than what he had to say about his people.. You just can't fix stupid... So stop wasting our time and energy trying.. What Byron was saying is black people during the Jim Crow era were tough cookies compared to what we see from the black communities today with the victim hood mentality mindset, lack of responsibility and accountability,, lack of effort in their education, unable to be self reliant, generational welfare dependents, always expecting a hand out instead of a hand up. always has an excuse why they can't do something because something is always standing in their way, always someone else's fault. Black people during the Jim Crow era had morals, family values, respect, valued their education, self reliant, financially better off then than blacks are today, home and land owners, a better work ethic despite all that they had to endure ... What i took from it was him basically saying black people today are a bunch of pansy snowflakes who have a meltdown at a drop of a hat. Who can't wipe their own butts without someone else wiping it for them who display nothing but weakness .
Hi Karen,am 78yrs old,born ,raised,and still live in the south.Was a nurse at a major hospital,and we could not be called Mrs.,or Miss Jones,only the white nurses could be called that.Black nurses had to be referred to as Nurse Jones..If a doctor was at the nurses station writing orders,and a black nurse was present,along with a white clerk,he would explain,and give the orders to the white clerk so that she could give them to the nurse.This continued untill black nurses started refusing to receive written,or verbal orders from ward clerks.Mind you this hospital was receiving federal funds from the Hill-Burton act established in 1946 for hospital grants.So much,I could write a book.Love your podcast.
Ms. Jones! That sounds like a book and I encourage you to tell your story. Your experience needs to be shared especially to younger folk in our community who seem to not understand the lived experiences. Please write this book!
@KarenHunterShow Why do you black democrats keep lying on this black man ? He never said JIM CROW ERA was good for blacks. He just stated facts that the black family unit was intact at a much higher rate than today. The fact that you can go look at the video of him speaking then turn around and say he said it was a good time us ridiculous. You know that man was speaking about black marriage rates in America and how they fluctuate. There's a reason Malcolm X called you black democrats race traitors and political cowards. I guarantee you that if you polled your audience as to when black people got the right to vote in America the vast majority would say 1964 because you democrat operatives like to keep blacks miseducated.
The south was a cruel place to live during the 50's, 60's and even into the 70's. There has never been a time that we as black people can recall the good old days in America. Byron Donalds' is lost.
@@alexmarsh-adams3922 America was never great, even if you were a poor white it wasn't great. I was born in the hills of southern West Virginia where whites were just as poor or poorer than black folks. America will never be great... ever.
It's important to talk to your elders before they leave. You have to sit down and ask them questions, they will tell you things most of the time. I experinced that with my grand parents and great aunts and I am 70. This was a good clip.
As a brown Native American I am grateful for your show. I empathize that because I live in mid oregon as a small business owner and the questions I get from European Americans boggle my mind omg😮
Thank you Ms Yevett for sharing. The fact that she remembered what the woman was wearing tells me that this memory was seared in her mind. God bless you, Ms. Yevett.
I'm Gen X and I remembered walking into Woolworths hand in hand with my Grandma in 1978 as a 6 yr old remembering the opulence of the store and my grandmother saying "Son, there was once upon a time colored folks couldn't be in here." I never forgot that! 😎
Same. We had a Woolworths, big huge store, on your town's "main street". And my Granny wld take us in there and share stories of segregation. I do appreciate my elders and ancestors #RIPGranny #MissedDaily😢
I'm a Gen-Xer and my mom is a boomer. She grew up in Tennessee during Jim Crow Era, and she didn't want me to experience what she went through. She also told me about an incident when my parents moved to Missouri, when I was an infant (during the 1970s), my dad needed gas for our car. She said a white attendant at the gas station wouldn't sell to him. She said she yelled at my dad because I would have to experience the same thing they did. Well, I did experience a little racism while living in Missouri, during the 1970s and 1980s, but nothing like that incident. As black people in America, we still experience racism, but the good news is the discriminatory practices of the past are against the law. Our fear should be if and when they aren't? That's what makes fools like Byron Donalds dangerous because he either doesn't know or doesn't care and he's reaching some who are as clueless as he is, which absolutely boggles my mind.
As an African, I learn about what the black Americans went through, because you have to learn about your history. I am benefiting from the suffering of the slaves, that is why I am able to travel to 🇺🇸. I am grateful to all those people who give their lives for it to be possible!! It breaks my heart that some black people want to ignorant about what they went through! God bless their souls.
Slavery didn't really have anything to do with immigration laws in the 1960s. That was actually due to eastern European immigrants who were part of the Democratic party. They were the main ones pushing for the end of immigrant discrimination. That coupled with the fact that the US was living in a time where several regions of the world, including Africa, were gaining their independence and the US didn't want to look bad to those countries that it wanted to have trade relationships with. So it was a combination of internal pressures from mainly European and some Caribbean African immigrants coupled with external pressure from other countries like Mexico and others and the desire not to look bad in front of newly independent nations in places like Africa and Latin America that ultimately induced the US to allow for more relaxed immigration policies. It really didn't have anything to do even with what most civil rights activists were talking about never mind anything about slavery.
@@thekalamerchant You’re wrong. Black Americans fought for all Black ppl in this world to be given entry in this racist country to become immigrants or granted political asylum. You see in living color how they treat BLACK immigrants harsher. BLACK AMERICAN LEADERSHIP in America calls it out, addresses it and demands it stop immediately. Our Black congressional Caucus, in particular, CONTINUES to fight legislatively. This mess you write is the very paradigm WHITE RACISTS use to RE-WRITE American history. Immigration is so convoluted and needlessly discombobulating when it comes all “others” from places trump as sitting president called “S holes,” but immigration turns “complicated” when ppl invade from EUROPE🙄
I hear what you’re saying. BUT, don’t forget Africans assisted the racist murdering colonists who stole AFRICANS from Africa. Don’t forget that. We are not slaves, never were! We were AFRICANS who were ENSLAVED in America’s horrific Holocaust. We are STOLEN AFRICANS! We don’t need anybody from Africa-from anywhere on the continent, including African tribes, calling us SLAVES.
Couldn't have said better! Thank you for your platform! BTW when Byron Donalds speaks after the Jim Crow trash, everything he says sounds gibberish to me.. I am so sick of people selling themselves and ourselves for the "coin, power, or control"'.
I'll never forget when my mom took us to a dentist, after we walked in and sat down, the receptionist aggressively pointed her finger at my mom motioning her to come to her and said something to her. When we got home I asked my mom what the lady said, mom my said the lady said :if we ever wanted to see the dentist again, we better use the backdoor" This was Louisiana 1974.....
I am so grateful for the second caller; we need to understand that we barely just got these rights and that there is a segment that's determined to roll back those rights. This isn't ancient history-Ruby Bridges is only 69 years old. It wasn’t until 1974, when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act passed, that women in the U.S. were granted the right to open a bank account on their own. At minimum we have to vote to save and protect our rights.
Bob was afraid but that stance seems to rise from male insecurity. Black people in Jim Crow also raised our kids as a village. Byron and Bob seem to always forget that detail.
My father, my aunts, and uncles are in their 70s amd are just now talking about the traumas they went through during Jim Crow. Bob is an ignorant clown. I am from Bama born and raised. Bob knew he was misinformed and wrong, that's why he hung up.
Jim crow was so bad that a lot of black people moved up north to escape that Era for this Donald clown to say something like that he as a black man to say that
Oh lord, My uncle was making really good money as a business owner. We all drove to the shop (in North Dallas, the white part of Dallas in the 70s) in the basic ass looking car. I couldn't understand because he had purchased beautiful cars for himself and my aunt. So I asked him why we rode in the okay car,he told me, if these folks think I'm making more money then "they" think I should be making my customers and my business will go away. The less they know, the safer we are. That pearl of wisdom has stayed with me.
I told a friend of mine this just a few years ago. She was driving a brand new Lexus to work and she started having lots of issues at work. I told her, although it shouldn't matter, but trust me, you need to switch your car out and drive a lesser car to work. It worked out for her because her YT coworkers eventually calmed down. It's sad and wrong but true.
Yep. Back in 2009, I drove a 20-year-old Nissan Sentra. It was falling apart, literally. Mom and I saved-up for a Corolla so we could buy it without a loan. My mom saw a RAV-4 and fell in love with it so, that's what we bought. I'm black and was in my 30s at the time. I swear to god my white female boss was jealous. She'd always ask me how do you like your truck? It's an SUV but I didn't bother to correct her. I knew what was up so, whatever. Well, I eventually got fired but that's okay because I've moved on. It was a horrible job anyway 😁😁
Professor Hunter, I hear you in ref. to when people say Jim Crow was so long ago. I wish I could laugh. This is going to be a MIND BLOWER 🤯🤯 Due to the fact that my Grand Father was born into Slavery in 1853. It is definitely not a long time ago for my family. I get a pain in my stomach when I hear people make foolish statements, about Slavery & Jim Crow ...
My mom, who is 90, told me many stories about her childhood and teenage years in Good Hope Ga during Jim Crow. I'm so confused about this agenda that I'm starting to see amongst black politicians on the diluting or minimizing the effects of Jim Crow on the black community.💔
My mom who turns 70 this year is from a small town in Arkansas. They still had the hanging tree where they used to hang black people. I saw it as a child and remember my mom telling us about that tree. My dad's family had migrated to NYC but originally came from NC. He told me stories about not being able to eat at a bbq place because it was whites only back then. These people who have these rose-colored glasses view of past times are delusional.
My parents grew up in Arkansas as well. It was hell being black in the Jim Crow South. Separate and totally unequal. My parents shared their experiences when schools were forced to integrate and they talk about having to go in the back of stores and the separate fountains & bathrooms. Smh. It's amazing how people won't vote, but will just sit and watch these Republicans dismantle all of the gains made during the movement when so much blood, sweat, & tears were shed! I don't ever take that for granted.
What a great second caller! Us Californians & NY'ers often can't fathom what living in Southern places as a black person must reeaaally be like. A different perspective is truly sobering...and enlightening. Kudos to Professor Hunter for haaandling that first caller like the EDUCATED boss that she is! 👍🏾
Ms. Hunter is preachin today! My parents grew up in the South during Jim Crow. They've shared some of their experiences with us, but they don't talk about it alot. My grandmother used to talk about being afraid at night and sleeping with the shot gun because you just never knew when the night riders would show up at your home. Black families were close together because that's the only way they survived!
Hi Professor Karen Hunter I knew that 1st caller was going to get his head chopped off 🤣 and I loved the 2nd caller lived experience. I'm 60yrs old and I learned a lot about the history of this country in elementary school because we had a black history class plus they also had an American history class I went to both and the same in Junior High and High school I never made it to a university college but I did take Africans studies at a community college then I went to Desert Storm for 6 yrs came back and went to work at Chrysler. Then one day years later during COVID-19 I saw this lady named Professor Karen Hunter and Dr Greg Carr and started watching and it just refreshed all that I had learned and I was like ok I'm down with this then I saw Dr Greg Carr on Roland Martin and I knew I was HOME haven't left yet ❤❤❤❤
He clearly hasn't watched your show, as he would know to cite sources for his research. He should know not to call in unless you are prepared to provide verifiable facts.
Just last week Saturday, I had to correct a co-worker from calling me " boy ". Mind you I'm 59 and I explained to her the reason why I didn't liked being called " boy " She was unaware what grown Black men and women went through during Jim Crow. I explained to her that back then they were called " gal " and or " boy " by yts.
I had a grown YT man call me Auntie while I was working at the front desk at a medical clinic. I swiftly and loudly corrected him and the whole room fell silent. We are not going backwards ✊🏾.
I was born in 1956, in Manhattan, NYC. My siblings and I (to my Knowledge) never experienced any of those humiliating injustices. At least, not me. My Grandparents, all four, were born in the West Indies. I never got a chance to discuss any of these atrocities with none of them. Both Grandpas died before meeting any of their many Grandchildren. And as far as my Grandmas were concerned, it never occurred to me to ask, unfortunately.😢 I just didn’t know. I’m pushing 70 now, and wish so very much that I could turn back time so I could talk to them about any and all degradations they endured. 😢😢😢😢
I've noticed a trend over the weekend of people posting videos about how good things were for Black people during segregation. I bought up Plessy vs Ferguson but the reference was lost on the posters.
Thank you, Karen! I am so glad you challenge those who are out here just spewing mess under the guise of “their opinion!” This has got to stop! I love how you say if you can’t do….various tangible things needed to build the Black community-THEN, VOTE! Get informed first.
@@mangopeach stop gaslighting, he didn't romanticize Jim Crow. He brought it up because that was one of the heights of having the Black family unit in tact. The marraige rate was higher and we had about 70% father's in the home. Since then we now have about 30% of fathers in the home. In essence he is saying the government has become the father in the Black home. This adversely affects our children and our economics. Its strictly about that and not Jim Crow laws.
Yes mam…In 1985 I packed my bags hoping to be a walk on in track and field at a small Baptist College in Charleston SC I graduated …Today my 21 year old daughter text sent announcing she will be teaching 9th graders in Memphis Tennessee teacher’s Residency. This is the Lords doing. We must remember as a people full circle ⭕️ moments. Karen you are challenging us to take a look back so to propel us forward ❤❤❤
Please REPORTERS get that kind of person to HELP US REMEMBER AND LEARN AGAIN. SO MUCH GOING ON WE NEED THESE TYPES OF LESSON TO REMEMBER. PLEASE YOU AND HER ARE IMPORTANT TO US. THE KIDS and YOUNG ONE'S MUST HEAR THIS. 🎉MANY OLD NEED TO REMEMBER THESE LESSON OF JIM CROW. CHANGING LAWS AGAINST BLACK CITIZENS WHO LIVE HERE ALL THIER LIFE'S!!🎉PLEASE MORE LESSON🎉THIS WILL HELP 2024🎉THANK YOU ❤
A lot of people don't know U.S. history but most importantly THEIR OWN FAMILY HISTORY! during jim crow my family was fleeing Mississippi and relocated to Michigan because we were THREATENED AND HUNTED! We don't talk about it enough but my family does because my family fought everything and lost everything. My Grandma sat me down and talked about the kkk chasing them out of Brandon Mississippi!! Furious about this. They burned down our family home. I am who i am today because thet left. Im livibg in a gated community. My family were sharecroppers and farmers and preachers.
And through it all your FAMILY UNIT STAYED TOGETHER. That was Byron Daniels point. The Family was together then and it fell apart under the great society but you see the younger generation wanting to bring it back. That's what he said He never said it was a good time or better time. He just said the family was intact then.
Not every black family was intact my now beloved Uncle Nate lived in that era during his existence here in this realm he told me of the abuse & battery that his mother endured inflicted upon her being from his father. They were woodsmen and lived in the Pine Forest s of South West Georgia and Jasper Florida. My parental grandfather neglected his family and lost his income to gambling & drinking liquor My Uncle Nate had to hunt wild animals and birds to provide substance for his siblings. During a visit with my Uncle Nate in (2014). He cried tears of his childhood traumas from what he had endured in his own home the trespassing moments inflicted upon him& his mother and siblings at the time my uncle was in his mid eighties. That painful family living history moment is seared into my being!
Mercy Mercy for all of our Black & Brown people who endured the savagery of the cowards &brutes of that "Jim Coward era". Thank you to the caller for her living experience. My sister I pray that you are blessed here in this realm and if there is a realm named "Heaven" all the days of our lives upon "EARTH". Thank you Professor Hunter for your grace& kindness!!! You give us strength to make a way out of no way!
Karen, your conversation with the 2nd caller hit the nail on the head because I believe it’s all systematic. A lot of those who lived through and experienced the Jim Crow are dying off. Along with their kids and grandkids not talking about it, you have politicians and school board members making a grand effort to eradicate it from books, schools, media and music. This is all done in hopes of it phasing out in a way that they maintain and control the narrative when it comes to American history.
Do we know or remember what blk women endured in marriages in that time? Why do people forget the pains caused by the financial and physical abuse of blk women during that time?
Mama's baby, daddy's MAYBE...do we know or remember what Black men endured in marriages in that time? Abuse and infidelity in both directions were and still are the exception not the rule...why attempt to make the outlier experiences the mainstream? We can have compassion for victims while honoring and seeing the obvious benefits of the institution can we not?
@ There’s actual data. I don’t know why you don’t want to read. But if men endured so much within marriage back in the 60s, you are proving my point, that we shouldn’t seek to go back to that time. ✌🏾
@ There is no data to show abuse, violence, and/or adultery were the majority norms of marriage. Similar to how car accidents happen but that does not mean most car trips end in an accident. I am not advocating for returning to any era, I am not denying or being an apologist for abusive situations; I simply question the need to demonize the institution of marriage as a whole, when marriage is a powerful tool for self as well as community and the demonization is based on subjective false pretense.
@@pele914 @ there’s data for the abuse and lack of financial stability babe. You also seem to lack the skill to discern that my post is in fact about idealizing the marriages of the 1960s.
I love you Dr Hunter. Continue to put the ignorant and self haters on notice that they are not as smart as they may think that they are. They go unchecked spewing uninformed opinion and when confronted cannot stand up to question or scrutiny.
I’m from SC and up until about 10 years ago a white guy who lived on Main Street in my town not only used confederate flags as curtains but also kept a black doll hanging from a tree by noose.
This is another testament to how thankful I am for your show. You single handedly shook me out of being emotional. And start looking at facts and comparing and contrasting politics and not going off vibes… it’s a HUGE problem that perpetuates a lot of the issues most of us face…
It's high time Al "the race hustler" Sharpton got put in his place. Msnbc thought Rep. Donalds was going to be intimidated by him. Little did they know that Conservative black never had any respect for Mr Sharpton, a man who for decades sought after and honored Trump.
Tell this guy to look up "the man in the house" rule. Yes the impacts showed itself during the Civil Rights era. That was just a timing issue. Black men came back from WW2, couldn't find a job, then couldn’t stay with their family. It took a generation OF THIS JUST SPECIFIC policy to impact the black nuclear family. That was around the time of the Civil Rights movement
These fools keep framing their point with Jim Crow & Civil Rights as the reference point. That argument gives the appearance that Jim Crow was better for Black people or that we were better before the Civil Rights movement. It was not, and we were not.
I am 45 years old (well, about to be) from Birmingham, Alabama. I have stories of my own, not to mention the ones I grew up hearing from my teachers, my pastor who did his pastoral fellowship under Dr. King at Dexter Ave. Baptist in Montgomery (Rev. Warnock, the senator, did his pastoral fellowship under my pastor because of this), and so many countless adults that were part of the children’s marches. Dynamite Hill, so many bombs that most of the older people who lived there during that time have/had PTSD. My history teacher spoke of it often. I asked the questions, I paid attention. Trying to teach my children this stuff is HARD. I remember yt kids my age growing up HATING Dr. King, where now they pretend like all blacks should be more like him. Their parents hated him because he was disruptive. His movement was peaceful, what he was doing, not so much. My history teacher was part of the children’s marches in Bham. She said those fire hoses would blow the skin off of their arms and legs, not to mention being bitten by dogs. Then, they didn’t get any medical treatment. It was right to jail. My dad said if your parents had a decent job and one of their children was found to be participating, they’d lose their job and be hard pressed to find another. We grew up with these stories because they wanted us never to fall into the trap of waxing nostalgic of those times. This is the problem with history of this country being white washed, so that when the son of Jamaican immigrants, whose lineage never experienced any of this southern ish can look back and say, oh it wasn’t that bad. But yes, yes it was. It was THAT bad. I can’t imagine having to leave my whole family and never see them again or be lynched because I looked a white person in the face, or didn’t cross the street because they were coming down the sidewalk. Jim Crow was dehumanizing. And what ever Y-T said, WENT, with no accountability but your black body might pay in death. Cullman, Al just took down their “sundown town” sign in like 2020 and it probably was swept away by a tornado not taken down.
Cj The main thing is Byron did not experience the Jim Crow era I am a 75 year old from Texas.I was born during Jim Crow, raised during Jim Crow & lived during Jim Crow right here in Texas.
Trump will never pick a Nick car for VP. Not Khun Tim from Sc or Khun Bye Run from Flo Rider or Khun who was Housing secretary in the first administration...
Dad not in the family is a talking point. There were racist laws in place that took the fathers out of the home. It wasn’t Democratic programs put this in place. It was so many other things.
😂I love Karen's reaction to "I did my research". People who actually read legitime, verifiable work, do not say "I did my research" because they're not the ones doing the research. The journalist, scientist, or whoever wrote the essay, article, or book did or compiled the research. We're simply using their work.
I find a lot of young blacks don’t realize how bad it was whatever they want to add into the black plate they just will never understand they read other things into it to make a point but they never know and I pray they never will!!!
I believe it’s systematic. Along with many of them who lives and experience the Jim Crow era is dying off, their kids and grandkids don’t ask them about it and lastly, you politicians and school board members doing their best to eradicated from books, schools and the media. This is done so that it will eventually phase out allowing them to control the narrative of American history.
*He doesn't need to see those films, he knows damn well the foolishness he speaks of! Byron is totally pandering to Trump, PERIOD!!!!!! Karma will soon deliver him his **#Nig***erWakeUpCall☎️!!*
Your mention of children from the neighborhood working at your family store brought back memories. My parents owned a bicycle shop and young men from the neighborhood were taught how to repair bicycles and earn money, thanks to my parents
I’m about to turn 72 in July. When I was a senior in high school in 1970 I went to a newly integrated high school. Right before I graduated my dean of girls called me into her office and had my school file in front of her. She told me she knew I wanted to be a nurse. Since I was three years old I always wanted to be a nurse. She told me I could never become a nurse because my math scores weren’t good enough. That day was like someone hit me in my heart. And for years I believed her. It made me so sad and hurt. I carried her voice in my head for years until a traumatic event in my life snapped me out of that spirit of defeat and doubt in myself. In 1985 at 33 years old I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, in 2005 I received a double Masters Degree from Wheaton College, Illinois. Sometimes it takes a life tragedy to turn you around and make you see you’re better than that what evil woman attempted to steal from your future! I won!
Ms. Hunter I'm so glad I found your channel. Intellectual, HONEST debate and conversation. Love how your professional demeanor and those of your guest comes across.
Vote Demorcrat for every office on the Ballot. A Super Majority is needed in The House of Reps & The Senate. As many Democratic Governors as we can vote into office is very important to accept & carry out the policies that are turned into laws by Biden/ Harris.Their are 10 states with some of the poorest people in the nation that do not have The ACA (Obama Care) Which basically comes down to 10 Republican Governors that will not take free money from The Federal Gov. It would help poor people & everyone else in those states, they will be able to have Medicaid or Affordable Health Care. Aswell the state will have a boom in Health Care Jobs ! Some states appoint the Secretary of State. But other states the Secretary State are electable positions (Btw, The Sec. of State calls the election in their States🤔). All State & Local positions are equally important. Political positions are designed to work hand & hand. We would be at a deficit if one or more of our fingers are missing !!! Same premise. 🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙
Yes please do, but we need more than voting in the black community there are many issues that need to be reconciled amongst ourselves first , stand together or fall prey.
This whole Donalds Jim Crow apologist travesty only points out how important it is to EDUCATE OURSELVES and EACH OTHER in regard to our history. I'm glad he's being exposed but, I wonder, how many others like him are out there promoting ignorance, unseen and unheard by media, setting the stage for something like this to happen again. Sadly, when my grandparents were still alive, I didn't think to ask them about their experiences of Jim Crow when they were young. I'm left with asking my elderly mother about her experiences and at least gaining some insights about what she remembers from back then. To say that I have benefited from the Civil Rights Act (which I have lived entirely under) is an understatement. I love road trips and I feel I can go just about anywhere in this country. I always wondered why my grandfather hated travel and often stayed at home. My mother recounted to me that when Grandpa was young, he had to drive at night so white cops couldn't mark him as a black driver and pull him over to harass him. When Grandpa had to stop for groceries and gas, he had to enter the station through the back door. Traveling, for my grandparents, was an ordeal and an exercise in public humiliation. I'm thankful I don't have to put up with that BS and wouldn't want a return of that time for myself or those who come after me. Because of the history I've learned from my elders, I don't have time or inclination to listen to court jestering buffoons like Byron Donalds or Tim Scott. It's fine to learn history from a book but it's also important to hear history from those who lived it.
@hendrsb33 Well said!! It is important to EDUCATE OURSELEVES and EACH OTHER because there are forces who are at work and are hellbent on erasing OUR HISTORY!!
I was in a two parent household. In the '70's I thought my father was a sycophant, because of the way he interacted with white people. Later in life, I had to admit that he had done what was necessary to provide me and my siblings with a safe, secure, and stable home. He is my hero. Not because he was married, but because of what he endured, what he sacrificed to protect and provide for us.
A lot of these young folks just don't get it because they don't know about how impactful the civil rights act was and have gotten too comfortable. They are in for a rude awakening.
It also shows how bad our current education system is and how people don't respect their elders. My mom will be 78 this year and we still have great conversations. I'd say those are reasons why so many young people are ignorant these days.
Also, listen to how the media talks about Biden being too old like it's a bad thing. He's getting sh*t done because he's been in Washington as long as I've been alive, literally. I was born the week he was elected to The Senate so, that's many years of experience he's got under his belt, and he's using it wisely. That's the MAIN reason I'll be voting for Biden again in 2024.
Thanks again Karen for talking and sharing on the Jim Crow era! I can't even imagine! I m so glad that my parents who did live through it knew it was important to tell us what had been their experiences and those of others as terrible and hurtful as they were served as teaching lessons for their children
there are...the media only focuses on the same voices...there are plenty of smart, amazing voices...Lurie Daniel Favors and Clay Cane are just a couple. Follow them on IG and Twitter.
I love how you represent Karen!! 😍 Thank You for trying to educate the black people and you do it without disrespect but give them something to thank about. Love you keeping it real.. challenge the less educated.🤣🤣🤣😂 Where did the caller go 😂🤣
As a 60 yr old White lady born and raised in a small S. Texas town I can remember the town being segregated. I remember the loose use of the N word, the separate schools and churches. It never felt right to me when the Bible taught me different. We can't go back to a time so fueled by hatred and cruelty. 💔
Amen
It looks like you MAY have paid attention in Sunday school. These modern day evangelicals have turn me quickly away from the church. Because I'm not down with THE JESUS these folks are spouting!
@capoislamort100 love it! Race I a man made construct created to subjugate and brainwash generations of people around the world! We live on the same planet! We have the same biological needs, organs, etc. So to tell someone based simply byTHE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, gives you the RIGHT to call me everything but a child of GOD, just because you lack melanin. If you want to get scientific-ish. Whites have thin hair, light eyes, thin lips, adipose fat is distributed differently [flat behinds, thin thighs] and other attributes. i would venture to say, whites are UNDER DEVELOPE. While the rich dark chocolate skin color, thick hair, lucious lips, genetically faster, stronger etc. You can see what im getting at! If broken down to dba there is only a 0.007% DIFFERENCE between the "races". That's an absolute fact!
Amen

I was thinking the same thing. We need to record their stories in their voices.

When people can't defend what they're talking about, they get frustrated and mad. That's his ignorance....Fool
😁 Fool, he knew it when he called... Research 😂😂 old black fool in the oppressive South
He spoke on marriage during that time and he defended it perfectly! What are you talking about?
“I did my research” is coded language that really says “I listen to videos on UA-cam “ 😂😂❤

Nothing was good about Jim Crow.What is wrong with that man?
He can't cross the line with his Massa because he's married to a white woman he has to stay on code.
Donald’s couldn’t even live in the Jim Crow south. Not with his Caucasian wife.
Pandering to the racist white base.
Really that's what you got out of what Byron Donalds said wow... I guess it's true what Pastor Manning said about his people which wasn't very pleasant. Which I'll repeat what he said in a much nicer way than what he had to say about his people.. You just can't fix stupid... So stop wasting our time and energy trying.. What Byron was saying is black people during the Jim Crow era were tough cookies compared to what we see from the black communities today with the victim hood mentality mindset, lack of responsibility and accountability,, lack of effort in their education, unable to be self reliant, generational welfare dependents, always expecting a hand out instead of a hand up. always has an excuse why they can't do something because something is always standing in their way, always someone else's fault. Black people during the Jim Crow era had morals, family values, respect, valued their education, self reliant, financially better off then than blacks are today, home and land owners, a better work ethic despite all that they had to endure ... What i took from it was him basically saying black people today are a bunch of pansy snowflakes who have a meltdown at a drop of a hat. Who can't wipe their own butts without someone else wiping it for them who display nothing but weakness .

Hi Karen,am 78yrs old,born ,raised,and still live in the south.Was a nurse at a major hospital,and we could not be called Mrs.,or Miss Jones,only the white nurses could be called that.Black nurses had to be referred to as Nurse Jones..If a doctor was at the nurses station writing orders,and a black nurse was present,along with a white clerk,he would explain,and give the orders to the white clerk so that she could give them to the nurse.This continued untill black nurses started refusing to receive written,or verbal orders from ward clerks.Mind you this hospital was receiving federal funds from the Hill-Burton act established in 1946 for hospital grants.So much,I could write a book.Love your podcast.
Ms. Jones! That sounds like a book and I encourage you to tell your story. Your experience needs to be shared especially to younger folk in our community who seem to not understand the lived experiences. Please write this book!
yes.
@@TheVuduYuDuit'll be a banned book, some people are too fragile for the truth.
@KarenHunterShow Why do you black democrats keep lying on this black man ? He never said JIM CROW ERA was good for blacks. He just stated facts that the black family unit was intact at a much higher rate than today. The fact that you can go look at the video of him speaking then turn around and say he said it was a good time us ridiculous. You know that man was speaking about black marriage rates in America and how they fluctuate. There's a reason Malcolm X called you black democrats race traitors and political cowards. I guarantee you that if you polled your audience as to when black people got the right to vote in America the vast majority would say 1964 because you democrat operatives like to keep blacks miseducated.
Thank you for sharing.
There's no excuses for defending Jim Crow no matter how you slice it. That first caller should know better.
Nobody defended Jim Crow, Byron Donalds said black families were more together back then and he's right.
How did he “defend” Jim Crow?? By saying marriage rates were higher?

The south was a cruel place to live during the 50's, 60's and even into the 70's. There has never been a time that we as black people can recall the good old days in America. Byron Donalds' is lost.
But he supports MAGA. Make America Great Again.
@@alexmarsh-adams3922 America was never great, even if you were a poor white it wasn't great. I was born in the hills of southern West Virginia where whites were just as poor or poorer than black folks. America will never be great... ever.

And even in the 80’s I can attest too and the 90’s as well.
@@billybarnett2846 America is a cruel place to live because this hatred and bigotry is in the fabric of the country.
It's important to talk to your elders before they leave. You have to sit down and ask them questions, they will tell you things most of the time. I experinced that with my grand parents and great aunts and I am 70. This was a good clip.
As a brown Native American I am grateful for your show. I empathize that because I live in mid oregon as a small business owner and the questions I get from European Americans boggle my mind omg😮
Thank you Ms Yevett for sharing. The fact that she remembered what the woman was wearing tells me that this memory was seared in her mind. God bless you, Ms. Yevett.
I'm Gen X and I remembered walking into Woolworths hand in hand with my Grandma in 1978 as a 6 yr old remembering the opulence of the store and my grandmother saying "Son, there was once upon a time colored folks couldn't be in here." I never forgot that!
😎
Same. We had a Woolworths, big huge store, on your town's "main street". And my Granny wld take us in there and share stories of segregation. I do appreciate my elders and ancestors #RIPGranny #MissedDaily😢
I am a baby boomer and I went through that
I'm a Gen-Xer and my mom is a boomer. She grew up in Tennessee during Jim Crow Era, and she didn't want me to experience what she went through. She also told me about an incident when my parents moved to Missouri, when I was an infant (during the 1970s), my dad needed gas for our car. She said a white attendant at the gas station wouldn't sell to him. She said she yelled at my dad because I would have to experience the same thing they did. Well, I did experience a little racism while living in Missouri, during the 1970s and 1980s, but nothing like that incident.
As black people in America, we still experience racism, but the good news is the discriminatory practices of the past are against the law. Our fear should be if and when they aren't? That's what makes fools like Byron Donalds dangerous because he either doesn't know or doesn't care and he's reaching some who are as clueless as he is, which absolutely boggles my mind.
Yep, the ignorance has to stop. Thank you for putting it in simple terms.
As an African, I learn about what the black Americans went through, because you have to learn about your history. I am benefiting from the suffering of the slaves, that is why I am able to travel to 🇺🇸. I am grateful to all those people who give their lives for it to be possible!! It breaks my heart that some black people want to ignorant about what they went through! God bless their souls.
There are similarities with apartheid.
Slavery didn't really have anything to do with immigration laws in the 1960s.
That was actually due to eastern European immigrants who were part of the Democratic party. They were the main ones pushing for the end of immigrant discrimination. That coupled with the fact that the US was living in a time where several regions of the world, including Africa, were gaining their independence and the US didn't want to look bad to those countries that it wanted to have trade relationships with.
So it was a combination of internal pressures from mainly European and some Caribbean African immigrants coupled with external pressure from other countries like Mexico and others and the desire not to look bad in front of newly independent nations in places like Africa and Latin America that ultimately induced the US to allow for more relaxed immigration policies.
It really didn't have anything to do even with what most civil rights activists were talking about never mind anything about slavery.
@@thekalamerchant You’re wrong. Black Americans fought for all Black ppl in this world to be given entry in this racist country to become immigrants or granted political asylum. You see in living color how they treat BLACK immigrants harsher. BLACK AMERICAN LEADERSHIP in America calls it out, addresses it and demands it stop immediately. Our Black congressional Caucus, in particular, CONTINUES to fight legislatively. This mess you write is the very paradigm WHITE RACISTS use to RE-WRITE American history. Immigration is so convoluted and needlessly discombobulating when it comes all “others” from places trump as sitting president called “S holes,” but immigration turns “complicated” when ppl invade from EUROPE🙄
I hear what you’re saying. BUT, don’t forget Africans assisted the racist murdering colonists who stole AFRICANS from Africa. Don’t forget that. We are not slaves, never were! We were AFRICANS who were ENSLAVED in America’s horrific Holocaust. We are STOLEN AFRICANS! We don’t need anybody from Africa-from anywhere on the continent, including African tribes, calling us SLAVES.

*Well.....**#DAMN**!!!!!* 💔
I love this show … listening in the UK born In 1970. And want to be educated keep going Karen!
I am so grateful for the second caller; we need to understand that we barely just got these rights and that there is a segment that's determined to roll back those rights. This isn't ancient history-Ruby Bridges is only 69 years old. It wasn’t until 1974, when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act passed, that women in the U.S. were granted the right to open a bank account on their own. At minimum we have to vote to save and protect our rights.
Thank Republicans for the your rights. The party of slavery and Jim Crow didn't give us any rights. They denied us of our God-given rights. Wake up!
Wow 1974?? That really brings it home. That's only 50 years ago
Bob was afraid but that stance seems to rise from male insecurity. Black people in Jim Crow also raised our kids as a village. Byron and Bob seem to always forget that detail.
And the blk church condones this mess
Thank you for the opportunity to listen and comment.
Dr. Carr says that her memories are "BLOOD MEMORIES". Blessed Are The Ties That Sustain us.
My father, my aunts, and uncles are in their 70s amd are just now talking about the traumas they went through during Jim Crow. Bob is an ignorant clown. I am from Bama born and raised. Bob knew he was misinformed and wrong, that's why he hung up.
Talking about he did his research. His faulty research like Professor Hunter said.
He still have the foot on his neck mentality.
Jim crow was so bad that a lot of black people moved up north to escape that Era for this Donald clown to say something like that he as a black man to say that
Oh lord,
My uncle was making really good money as a business owner. We all drove to the shop (in North Dallas, the white part of Dallas in the 70s) in the basic ass looking car.
I couldn't understand because he had purchased beautiful cars for himself and my aunt. So I asked him why we rode in the okay car,he told me, if these folks think I'm making more money then "they" think I should be making my customers and my business will go away.
The less they know, the safer we are.
That pearl of wisdom has stayed with me.
I remember my dad saying the same thing about not letting the yt know what you have
I told a friend of mine this just a few years ago. She was driving a brand new Lexus to work and she started having lots of issues at work. I told her, although it shouldn't matter, but trust me, you need to switch your car out and drive a lesser car to work. It worked out for her because her YT coworkers eventually calmed down. It's sad and wrong but true.
Yep. Back in 2009, I drove a 20-year-old Nissan Sentra. It was falling apart, literally. Mom and I saved-up for a Corolla so we could buy it without a loan. My mom saw a RAV-4 and fell in love with it so, that's what we bought. I'm black and was in my 30s at the time. I swear to god my white female boss was jealous. She'd always ask me how do you like your truck? It's an SUV but I didn't bother to correct her. I knew what was up so, whatever. Well, I eventually got fired but that's okay because I've moved on. It was a horrible job anyway 😁😁
Professor Hunter,
I hear you in ref. to when people say Jim Crow was so long ago. I wish I could laugh. This is going to be a MIND BLOWER 🤯🤯
Due to the fact that my Grand Father was born into Slavery in 1853. It is definitely not a long time ago for my family. I get a pain in my stomach when I hear people make foolish statements, about Slavery & Jim Crow ...
My mom, who is 90, told me many stories about her childhood and teenage years in Good Hope Ga during Jim Crow. I'm so confused about this agenda that I'm starting to see amongst black politicians on the diluting or minimizing the effects of Jim Crow on the black community.💔
My mom who turns 70 this year is from a small town in Arkansas. They still had the hanging tree where they used to hang black people. I saw it as a child and remember my mom telling us about that tree. My dad's family had migrated to NYC but originally came from NC. He told me stories about not being able to eat at a bbq place because it was whites only back then. These people who have these rose-colored glasses view of past times are delusional.
My parents grew up in Arkansas as well. It was hell being black in the Jim Crow South. Separate and totally unequal. My parents shared their experiences when schools were forced to integrate and they talk about having to go in the back of stores and the separate fountains & bathrooms. Smh. It's amazing how people won't vote, but will just sit and watch these Republicans dismantle all of the gains made during the movement when so much blood, sweat, & tears were shed! I don't ever take that for granted.
Your response brought me to tears because of it's truth...DO WHAT YOU CAN OR SHUT UP! Yes, DON'T be the ONE!
She handle the first caller the correct way.
What a great second caller! Us Californians & NY'ers often can't fathom what living in Southern places as a black person must reeaaally be like. A different perspective is truly sobering...and enlightening. Kudos to Professor Hunter for haaandling that first caller like the EDUCATED boss that she is! 👍🏾
No California was not a cakewalk, I am 60 years old. We had our challenges.
@@paulwilborn185 Of course, and I certainly wasn't implying otherwise. I was referencing generalities in comparison.
You should have called BoB exactly what he was...A COWARD

Ms. Hunter is preachin today! My parents grew up in the South during Jim Crow. They've shared some of their experiences with us, but they don't talk about it alot. My grandmother used to talk about being afraid at night and sleeping with the shot gun because you just never knew when the night riders would show up at your home. Black families were close together because that's the only way they survived!
Hi Professor Karen Hunter I knew that 1st caller was going to get his head chopped off 🤣 and I loved the 2nd caller lived experience. I'm 60yrs old and I learned a lot about the history of this country in elementary school because we had a black history class plus they also had an American history class I went to both and the same in Junior High and High school I never made it to a university college but I did take Africans studies at a community college then I went to Desert Storm for 6 yrs came back and went to work at Chrysler. Then one day years later during COVID-19 I saw this lady named Professor Karen Hunter and Dr Greg Carr and started watching and it just refreshed all that I had learned and I was like ok I'm down with this then I saw Dr Greg Carr on Roland Martin and I knew I was HOME haven't left yet ❤❤❤❤
He clearly hasn't watched your show, as he would know to cite sources for his research. He should know not to call in unless you are prepared to provide verifiable facts.
Just last week Saturday, I had to correct a co-worker from calling me " boy ". Mind you I'm 59 and I explained to her the reason why I didn't liked being called " boy " She was unaware what grown Black men and women went through during Jim Crow. I explained to her that back then they were called " gal " and or " boy " by yts.
I had a grown YT man call me Auntie while I was working at the front desk at a medical clinic. I swiftly and loudly corrected him and the whole room fell silent. We are not going backwards ✊🏾.
My parents grew up in the South during Jim Crow and would share their horrible experiences. There was nothing just or fair about segregation.
I was born in 1956, in
Manhattan, NYC.
My siblings and I (to my
Knowledge) never experienced any of those humiliating injustices. At least, not me.
My Grandparents, all four, were born in the
West Indies. I never got a chance to discuss any of these
atrocities with none of them. Both Grandpas died before meeting any of their many Grandchildren. And as far as my Grandmas were concerned, it never occurred to me to ask, unfortunately.😢 I just didn’t know.
I’m pushing 70 now, and wish so very much that I could turn back time so I could talk to them about any and all
degradations they endured. 😢😢😢😢
Well said beautiful spirit Karen 👍💯👏🙏
You are spot on!
I wish I could like this video ten times. I hope everyone is listening. This year is no joke.
Love ❤️ love the way you let him have it … politely of course but we not having that BS
I've noticed a trend over the weekend of people posting videos about how good things were for Black people during segregation. I bought up Plessy vs Ferguson but the reference was lost on the posters.
Thank you, Karen! I am so glad you challenge those who are out here just spewing mess under the guise of “their opinion!” This has got to stop! I love how you say if you can’t do….various tangible things needed to build the Black community-THEN, VOTE! Get informed first.
The weird way some black people romanticize the Jim Crow era is disturbing.
I believe it comes from generational trauma. Not trying to excuse it's actually very sad. That's why we need to talk about this within our families.
@@mangopeach stop gaslighting, he didn't romanticize Jim Crow. He brought it up because that was one of the heights of having the Black family unit in tact. The marraige rate was higher and we had about 70% father's in the home. Since then we now have about 30% of fathers in the home. In essence he is saying the government has become the father in the Black home. This adversely affects our children and our economics. Its strictly about that and not Jim Crow laws.
Yes mam…In 1985 I packed my bags hoping to be a walk on in track and field at a small Baptist College in Charleston SC I graduated …Today my 21 year old daughter text sent announcing she will be teaching 9th graders in Memphis Tennessee teacher’s Residency.

Say it Karen!!
A lot of people don't know U.S. history but most importantly THEIR OWN FAMILY HISTORY! during jim crow my family was fleeing Mississippi and relocated to Michigan because we were THREATENED AND HUNTED! We don't talk about it enough but my family does because my family fought everything and lost everything. My Grandma sat me down and talked about the kkk chasing them out of Brandon Mississippi!! Furious about this. They burned down our family home. I am who i am today because thet left. Im livibg in a gated community. My family were sharecroppers and farmers and preachers.
And through it all your FAMILY UNIT STAYED TOGETHER. That was Byron Daniels point. The Family was together then and it fell apart under the great society but you see the younger generation wanting to bring it back. That's what he said
He never said it was a good time or better time. He just said the family was intact then.
Not every black family was intact my now beloved Uncle Nate lived in that era during his existence here in this realm he told me of the abuse & battery that his mother endured inflicted upon her being from his father. They were woodsmen and lived in the Pine Forest s of South West Georgia and Jasper Florida. My parental grandfather neglected his family and lost his income to gambling & drinking liquor
My Uncle Nate had to hunt wild animals and birds to provide substance for his siblings. During a visit with my Uncle Nate in (2014). He cried tears of his childhood traumas from what he had endured in his own home the trespassing moments inflicted upon him& his mother and siblings at the time my uncle was in his mid eighties. That painful family living history moment is seared into my being!
Speak Professor Hunter…💕
Mercy Mercy for all of our Black & Brown people who endured the savagery of the cowards &brutes of that "Jim Coward era". Thank you to the caller for her living experience. My sister I pray that you are blessed here in this realm and if there is a realm named "Heaven" all the days of our lives upon "EARTH". Thank you Professor Hunter for your grace& kindness!!! You give us strength to make a way out of no way!
Karen, your conversation with the 2nd caller hit the nail on the head because I believe it’s all systematic. A lot of those who lived through and experienced the Jim Crow are dying off. Along with their kids and grandkids not talking about it, you have politicians and school board members making a grand effort to eradicate it from books, schools, media and music. This is all done in hopes of it phasing out in a way that they maintain and control the narrative when it comes to American history.
She got in his uninformed a$$. ❤
In record time 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Do we know or remember what blk women endured in marriages in that time? Why do people forget the pains caused by the financial and physical abuse of blk women during that time?
Mama's baby, daddy's MAYBE...do we know or remember what Black men endured in marriages in that time? Abuse and infidelity in both directions were and still are the exception not the rule...why attempt to make the outlier experiences the mainstream? We can have compassion for victims while honoring and seeing the obvious benefits of the institution can we not?
@ There’s actual data. I don’t know why you don’t want to read. But if men endured so much within marriage back in the 60s, you are proving my point, that we shouldn’t seek to go back to that time. ✌🏾
@ There is no data to show abuse, violence, and/or adultery were the majority norms of marriage. Similar to how car accidents happen but that does not mean most car trips end in an accident. I am not advocating for returning to any era, I am not denying or being an apologist for abusive situations; I simply question the need to demonize the institution of marriage as a whole, when marriage is a powerful tool for self as well as community and the demonization is based on subjective false pretense.
@@pele914 @ there’s data for the abuse and lack of financial stability babe. You also seem to lack the skill to discern that my post is in fact about idealizing the marriages of the 1960s.
I love you Dr Hunter. Continue to put the ignorant and self haters on notice that they are not as smart as they may think that they are. They go unchecked spewing uninformed opinion and when confronted cannot stand up to question or scrutiny.
I’m from SC and up until about 10 years ago a white guy who lived on Main Street in my town not only used confederate flags as curtains but also kept a black doll hanging from a tree by noose.
Because, they act as if there weren’t non black families that weren’t intact.
This is another testament to how thankful I am for your show. You single handedly shook me out of being emotional. And start looking at facts and comparing and contrasting politics and not going off vibes… it’s a HUGE problem that perpetuates a lot of the issues most of us face…
Donald’s needs to b dealt with the way he was talking to rev Al. It made my blood boil
It's high time Al "the race hustler" Sharpton got put in his place. Msnbc thought Rep. Donalds was going to be intimidated by him. Little did they know that Conservative black never had any respect for Mr Sharpton, a man who for decades sought after and honored Trump.
True , sadly he is not the only one he’s just the face of it
Then why you supported blm for wanting the same policies and laws as Jim Crow laws so it's either u are confused or you are a follower
Trump will never give a black person a VP spot.
@@yvonneplant9434 Why do you think that?
Tell this guy to look up "the man in the house" rule. Yes the impacts showed itself during the Civil Rights era. That was just a timing issue. Black men came back from WW2, couldn't find a job, then couldn’t stay with their family. It took a generation OF THIS JUST SPECIFIC policy to impact the black nuclear family. That was around the time of the Civil Rights movement
ALL THIS PROF. HUNTER, AMEN, THANK YOU, I needed and felt this response, JERSEY IN DA HOUSE!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥
Why would Byron Donalds even mention Jim Crow? He had to know just using that term would create chaos.
You should go find your safe space. Victim.
His family are not even black Americans. They are immigrants. That is why he and Candice Owens are against reparations. They won’t get anything
Well said Professor Hunter ❤
The nerves to call, and get mad when being asked a very and respectful question?
Byron is a yes person, whatever you say.
These fools keep framing their point with Jim Crow & Civil Rights as the reference point. That argument gives the appearance that Jim Crow was better for Black people or that we were better before the Civil Rights movement. It was not, and we were not.
I am 45 years old (well, about to be) from Birmingham, Alabama. I have stories of my own, not to mention the ones I grew up hearing from my teachers, my pastor who did his pastoral fellowship under Dr. King at Dexter Ave. Baptist in Montgomery (Rev. Warnock, the senator, did his pastoral fellowship under my pastor because of this), and so many countless adults that were part of the children’s marches. Dynamite Hill, so many bombs that most of the older people who lived there during that time have/had PTSD. My history teacher spoke of it often. I asked the questions, I paid attention. Trying to teach my children this stuff is HARD. I remember yt kids my age growing up HATING Dr. King, where now they pretend like all blacks should be more like him. Their parents hated him because he was disruptive. His movement was peaceful, what he was doing, not so much. My history teacher was part of the children’s marches in Bham. She said those fire hoses would blow the skin off of their arms and legs, not to mention being bitten by dogs. Then, they didn’t get any medical treatment. It was right to jail. My dad said if your parents had a decent job and one of their children was found to be participating, they’d lose their job and be hard pressed to find another. We grew up with these stories because they wanted us never to fall into the trap of waxing nostalgic of those times. This is the problem with history of this country being white washed, so that when the son of Jamaican immigrants, whose lineage never experienced any of this southern ish can look back and say, oh it wasn’t that bad. But yes, yes it was. It was THAT bad. I can’t imagine having to leave my whole family and never see them again or be lynched because I looked a white person in the face, or didn’t cross the street because they were coming down the sidewalk. Jim Crow was dehumanizing. And what ever Y-T said, WENT, with no accountability but your black body might pay in death. Cullman, Al just took down their “sundown town” sign in like 2020 and it probably was swept away by a tornado not taken down.
Very good conversation. Thank you Karen

We can't talk it because our parents wouldn't... They didn't want us to know or ever experience those feelings.
Or no History about Black people, whoever that first caller was
Dad not in the family is a talking point. There were racist laws in place that took the fathers out of the home. It wasn’t Democratic programs put this in place. It was so many other things.
😂I love Karen's reaction to "I did my research". People who actually read legitime, verifiable work, do not say "I did my research" because they're not the ones doing the research. The journalist, scientist, or whoever wrote the essay, article, or book did or compiled the research. We're simply using their work.
I find a lot of young blacks don’t realize how bad it was whatever they want to add into the black plate they just will never understand they read other things into it to make a point but they never know and I pray they never will!!!
I believe it’s systematic. Along with many of them who lives and experience the Jim Crow era is dying off, their kids and grandkids don’t ask them about it and lastly, you politicians and school board members doing their best to eradicated from books, schools and the media. This is done so that it will eventually phase out allowing them to control the narrative of American history.
Them folks got him like a lot of other get on your knee for a pat on the head black people.
Congressman Bryon Donalds should watch old movies like "Sounder", " The Help" and "Nothing but a Man" to gage what JIM CROW was like!!
*He doesn't need to see those films, he knows damn well the foolishness he speaks of! Byron is totally pandering to Trump, PERIOD!!!!!! Karma will soon deliver him his **#Nig***erWakeUpCall☎️!!*
Donalds doesn't deserve that title you just mentioned or be acknowledged
This channel is everything. Thank you.
Your mention of children from the neighborhood working at your family store brought back memories. My parents owned a bicycle shop and young men from the neighborhood were taught how to repair bicycles and earn money, thanks to my parents
I’m about to turn 72 in July. When I was a senior in high school in 1970 I went to a newly integrated high school. Right before I graduated my dean of girls called me into her office and had my school file in front of her. She told me she knew I wanted to be a nurse. Since I was three years old I always wanted to be a nurse. She told me I could never become a nurse because my math scores weren’t good enough. That day was like someone hit me in my heart. And for years I believed her. It made me so sad and hurt. I carried her voice in my head for years until a traumatic event in my life snapped me out of that spirit of defeat and doubt in myself. In 1985 at 33 years old I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, in 2005 I received a double Masters Degree from Wheaton College, Illinois. Sometimes it takes a life tragedy to turn you around and make you see you’re better than that what evil woman attempted to steal from your future! I won!
That is wonderful that you accomplished your goals.
Ms. Hunter I'm so glad I found your channel. Intellectual, HONEST debate and conversation. Love how your professional demeanor and those of your guest comes across.
People’s just get out and Vote 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸President Joe Biden
Vote Demorcrat for every office on the Ballot. A Super Majority is needed in The House of Reps & The Senate. As many Democratic Governors as we can vote into office is very important to accept & carry out the policies that are turned into laws by Biden/ Harris.Their are 10 states with some of the poorest people in the nation that do not have The ACA (Obama Care) Which basically comes down to 10 Republican Governors that will not take free money from The Federal Gov. It would help poor people & everyone else in those states, they will be able to have Medicaid or Affordable Health Care. Aswell the state will have a boom in Health Care Jobs !
Some states appoint the Secretary of State. But other states the Secretary State are electable positions (Btw, The Sec. of State calls the election in their States🤔). All State & Local positions are equally important. Political positions are designed to work hand & hand. We would be at a deficit if one or more of our fingers are missing !!! Same premise.

Yes please do, but we need more than voting in the black community there are many issues that need to be reconciled amongst ourselves first , stand together or fall prey.

The state of Tennessee hasn't turned blue since Bush. However, I will still vote for Biden to speak with my vote.
Is this serious? What has he done for the Black community?
This whole Donalds Jim Crow apologist travesty only points out how important it is to EDUCATE OURSELVES and EACH OTHER in regard to our history. I'm glad he's being exposed but, I wonder, how many others like him are out there promoting ignorance, unseen and unheard by media, setting the stage for something like this to happen again.
Sadly, when my grandparents were still alive, I didn't think to ask them about their experiences of Jim Crow when they were young. I'm left with asking my elderly mother about her experiences and at least gaining some insights about what she remembers from back then. To say that I have benefited from the Civil Rights Act (which I have lived entirely under) is an understatement. I love road trips and I feel I can go just about anywhere in this country. I always wondered why my grandfather hated travel and often stayed at home. My mother recounted to me that when Grandpa was young, he had to drive at night so white cops couldn't mark him as a black driver and pull him over to harass him. When Grandpa had to stop for groceries and gas, he had to enter the station through the back door. Traveling, for my grandparents, was an ordeal and an exercise in public humiliation. I'm thankful I don't have to put up with that BS and wouldn't want a return of that time for myself or those who come after me.
Because of the history I've learned from my elders, I don't have time or inclination to listen to court jestering buffoons like Byron Donalds or Tim Scott. It's fine to learn history from a book but it's also important to hear history from those who lived it.
@hendrsb33 Well said!! It is important to EDUCATE OURSELEVES and EACH OTHER because there are forces who are at work and are hellbent on erasing OUR HISTORY!!
I was in a two parent household. In the '70's I thought my father was a sycophant, because of the way he interacted with white people. Later in life, I had to admit that he had done what was necessary to provide me and my siblings with a safe, secure, and stable home. He is my hero. Not because he was married, but because of what he endured, what he sacrificed to protect and provide for us.
Amen, that's what a call a real man. Byron Donalds needs to learn what that is. So does Trump and most of those cowards in the GOP.
Byron Byron you were caught. You cannot take it back.
A lot of these young folks just don't get it because they don't know about how impactful the civil rights act was and have gotten too comfortable. They are in for a rude awakening.
It also shows how bad our current education system is and how people don't respect their elders. My mom will be 78 this year and we still have great conversations. I'd say those are reasons why so many young people are ignorant these days.
Also, listen to how the media talks about Biden being too old like it's a bad thing. He's getting sh*t done because he's been in Washington as long as I've been alive, literally. I was born the week he was elected to The Senate so, that's many years of experience he's got under his belt, and he's using it wisely. That's the MAIN reason I'll be voting for Biden again in 2024.
Thanks again Karen for talking and sharing on the Jim Crow era! I can't even imagine! I m so glad that my parents who did live through it knew it was important to tell us what had been their experiences and those of others as terrible and hurtful as they were served as teaching lessons for their children
Very good ma I smile at your great work.
Thank you!
