- Weeks before Selma’s Bloody Sunday in 1965, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. urged residents of Gee’s Bend, Ala., to vote, and fed a continuing fight over a small ferry that would last for decades.

Another fascinating Retro Report. One of the best series on UA-cam.
I have been binge-listening to these while doing daily tasks for the better part of the past week, and there are always more, apparently.
Now the pbs retro report is boring

REEEEEEEEECIST!!!!
40 years ! OMG great and sad at the same time.
There might be a good reason against this idea , but can't we build a bridge for the benders now. instead of them waiting on a ferry, they should be able to cross and get the services they need
Maybe its the money...
Dealing with police officers in the US sounds more like dealing with wild animals than humans.
i was just saying, I'm white, and i got the same talk. pretty sure they taught us this stuff in Driver's Ed.
They barely talked about the police ...
There is a really good play about gee’s bend
my mom taught me the same thing with cops
The difference is, it most likely wasn’t from personal experience. Your parents probably haven’t been pulled over for “being suspicious”.
It's basic rules for ANYONE dealing with cops, tbh.
I have when i was in college. Searched whole car saying they smelled pot. I was not driving. Kept insisting i had been arrested before and wouldn’t let up. We had stopped at 7 eleven and my friend just forgot to flick their lights back on
So basically, the whites in power intentionally stranded this population of black of people and left them isolated for 40 years. Incredible. It's these smaller stories that further demonstrate the level of work invested into racism and its wide reach to practically every nook and cranny throughout the country. Thank you for the Retro Report, I'm forever grateful for honest history.
to short
Happy Black History Month🖤❤
You’d think after the fifth comment about white parents teaching their children how to interact with police, people would find something else to discuss in the comments, but nope.
Funny I remember my white mom telling me the same thing when I got my license
Yeah, that's just basic common sense.
Literally the standard for teaching your kids how to interact with police officers when pulled over. . .
Ma'am, that is for everyone.
If you didn’t understand what she said, you are certainly part of the problem.
🙄 obviously YT people have to tell their children to do the same. (i know yall like to think it is different nowadays) it is statistically shown AA people or POC is more likely to be stopped, shot and killed, stopped and frisked, falsely accused and arrested. Sorry but that is facts. If you disagree, I respect that. That is your opinion. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
@@BLUEGENE13 you're a moron.
there is nothing wrong with people of color I have a lot of friends of different color and nationality
Surely she knows that everyone is taught that when you're pulled over, put your hands on the steering wheel, be polite, and don't make any sudden movements.
I wasn’t. I’ll give you one guess for my skin color.
Not in australia, we don't fear the police like the USA. I just have my ID ready and don't be a smartarse
I never was taught that, but I'm white so I guess that's why.
white parents do have to teach their children that
I think you missed the point, after George Floyd and co. even you might have to acknowledge that, oh wait you’re some genius on the internet and must know more than a district court, of course
@@slimestoneexpert9804 sorry whats you're point?
Nope, I wasn't taught that. But then because I'm white I never have had to worry about a racist officer or official. Giving me grief just because of my skin colour.
I would have to disagree with one part the woman said about white people teaching their children about being pulled over by the police. My parents said the samething to me and I am white. Do what the police officer asks. keep your hands on the wheel.
Yep, the woman understated the issue. In some parts of the country, they even have to teach classes about dealing with police officers. The only class where no one will ask “when will we ever use this”.
Blacks < Black people
6:25 "White parents don't have to teach their children that" My parents literally taught me that
But your parents most likely weren’t basing it off of personal experience.
@LONtoLAX
If you just admit to the point that she was generalizing you would be more credible. The same as the fact that you are generalizing that they *have* to teach their children that. It sounds like you just want to push a perspective. The main reason I'm very distrustful of this idea is that it is incident-driven, you talk about statistics but these are not front and center generally in the argumentation.
6:49 no that’s not true
Why is it that white parents dont have to teach their kids that
Ok. Sorry to interrupt. But yes. White parents do teach thier children exactly that. The good ones do at least. I was taught that. My children have been taught that. And my parents were taught that when they were young. She just described the correct way to handle any interaction with police. Why did she insist on making it a racial issue.
I'm white & I wasn't taught that & my parents are very good people. But because I'm white I also have never had to worry about. A racist police officer or official giving me grief because of my skin colour.
HOw does she know what white parents do or don't have to teach their kids? she isn't white. I was taught to put my hands on the steering wheel and speak respectfully to police officers, and I'm a white Canadian.
+Mike Stolska But your parents didn't have to teach you how to interact with the police as a white person specifically. She's not saying there aren't white parents who talk to their kids about dealing with law enforcement, just that race is not a factor in those conversations. See what I'm saying?
MotionPictureMuse
So the exact same lesson, just with a "because you're black" tacked on to the end of it. Got it.
+Mike Stolska It's more than that. There's a different power dynamic between black people and cops versus white people and cops. When I get pulled over by a cop I get extremely nervous, but not because I fear being discriminated against based on the cop's perception of my race, race-based fears/assumptions about my character or background, etc. I'm white, so it doesn't even cross my mind. History and current events show that black people have to be much, much more calm/careful when dealing with law enforcement because to put it quite bluntly, it increases their chances of walking away from that situation. Consequently, it's a uniquely important lesson for black parents to share with their children.
Brenda Cameron You're missing my point, and I honestly don't how to explain it any clearer.
I see your point. But it isn't just blacks having to watch it.
6:40 I'm so sick of people trying to racebait with that argument. That's how you're supposed to deal with cops regardless of your race. :|
