And don't forget people like me are learning from you folks, as we have been lied to as well. Bill is a top man!! He wanted to purchase a tv network, that's why they are trying to destroy this man. He is innocent. Plus you folks are the True (Jew)els. Greetings from Australia.
I have a funny feeling if you controlled their education they would learn about nothing but black history, then when they get to college theyd realize they don't know shit about stuff they actually need to know and would fail.
Afrosoul if more Black Parents had known that they were stolen and bought to America maybe they would have taught thair own children don't be foolish lady these were day's when I was growing up in Mississippi.
I chose to do the same! White America seems to forgive and forget the sins of their fathers, but refuse to let others do the same with their own. Although the messenger did some terrible things & is paying for his crimes (unlike others), the message is more important & Its last time out for the BS history we’ve been taught in our schools.
I vaguely remember in 1st grade art class, the teacher asking us to paint a self portrait. I'm Puerto Rican, so I have color. I picked up that brown brush and painted myself accordingly, teacher was white and after all these years, I understand why he was so happy & surprised that I painted my portrait the way I did. He asked my mother if he could borrow my painting to take it to some state or county art competition. I was very younge and don't remember all the details, I do remember how embarrassed I felt when a few weeks later he brought me in front of the class & told me I won first place.. such a crazy moment in time that I will never forget, and now watching this video almost 35 years later, I understand.
I first saw this film in the early 70's while in a Social Studies class in junior high school. I've never forgotten this film but could not remember the name of it. At last it has come into my life again and I am thankful that you posted this. This has not only brought back memories but it has renewed my faith. Faith in my people and what we have done and endured and what we can do in the future. This should be required viewing for all Black children.
White people too. My grandparents taught me about the cute Shirley Temple. They didn't mention the slave/master relationship. Things were different (and WRONG) back then and the struggle is still there today. It's because of a wise black man I understand now.
In New York, They Used To Show This On Channel 13 WNET. We Had To Watch This When I Was In The 6th Grade At P.S. 54 In The Bronx. We Had To Write A Report About It In Regards To What We Thought About It. My Father Was A Follower Of H. Rap Brown, Elijah Muhammad, Muhammad Ali, And Malcolm X. So, When I Wrote My Report, It Was Considered "Militant" By Educational Standards. When I Got To School The Following Day, We All Had To Stand And Read Them. The Rest Of The Kids Had Written Wholesome And Innocent Reports, But When My Turn Came, The Room Was Completely Silent, And There Was An Awestruck Look On My Teacher's Face! His Name Was Mr. Hirsch, Who Was Jewish, And I'll Never Forget Him As Long As I Live. Although I Went Against The Grain In My Report, I Still Received An "A" Because I Was The Most Honest!!!
OMG...😲... I'm blowing my nose, & wiping the tears. 😢... Those children were a little younger than I was in 1968. I was 8 yrs. old & was 9 by September. I recall this special, I can't remember which network aired it, but I remember it well. ** I just checked the footnotes, I was thinking CBS, but I wasn't sure.**📺📡I'm saddened by the way our people were treated, the parts that were available in cinema & T.V. The awful stereotypes that our Black Men & Women were subject to... It breaks my heart..💔💔 Mr. Cosby was on point with all of it... It saddens me about his present life. Albeit, he never wavered about who he represented. For that alone, I appreciate his candor & ability to educate. Thank you for sharing...😌💕💕💕
Make sure you teach him to work hard, pay his taxes, pay his bills, respect women, obey the law, contribute to society in a positive way, vote for quality candidates, take care of his home, and teach his children to do the same.
I'm 19 kinda knew this but the education system is irrelevant at this point. Kids are still uneducated they've given up in highschool my peers still struggled with one syllable words. Also they don't the necessity to gain a education. It won't create equality. Going to school I believe now weakens your mind to submit and be controllable your being taught to be a worker in someone else's success. I use to be apologetic bout life until emptiness filled my being. History is told by those who chose to tell even at that point it's someone else's perspective. Past, future and present. Explain to me how can a future exist if the present is forever changing. Past is the only history because it's has happen and not a possibility. Dis da being of my mind as a child who observed his community's. Witness chaos and destruction only to think of sorrow. Growing up into adulthood as a "grown child" filled with temptation ik 4 a fact the kid who may want to burn down cities is who I became mentally. This could be possibly self incriminating. Understanding America is you are a number used for economical growth. I hate this place I'm just an inhabitant that falls within a category. Crimes are considered illegal yet I'm somewhat entertained by hip-hop that promotes criminal activity, only to comprehend "police" can be called hero's. Do not misinterpret what I'm saying I liked both MLK and Malcolm X but as I grow older MLK methods became undignified imo for he simply wanted peace and was non violent they enjoyed his submission in frustration from the impact. MLK made a seemingly big difference to a problem so huge it actually seemed insignificant to my eyes. If explain my witnessing and get attention I'd be possibly killed. Considerably at this point i can't even clearly understand my opinion of death. From da hood you wanna make yo mama proud and get ha out...she dead from negligence and economics. Now I have to figure out a reason to live for myself America already know what I'm talking about. Already got unwanted attention from the gov. Gone head an classify me as a potential terrorist I'm slowly losing empathy and sympathy for anyone as human being, this 1st seemed optional then I realized it's not to answer who was raising the "blacks" kids it was themselves dumbasses the oldest was in charge and disregarded by there parents in terms of opinion. If u have any questions bout the youth actions I may have the answer, or I may make stupidity make sense not for me to interpret
Have you heard about the Ottoman slave trade? They abducted 1.25 million Europeans (mainly from Eastern Europe or from captured vessels) in addition to numerous North Africans and Indians; essentially, anyone who was not a Muslim. And this does not include their jizya tax, which meant that one in seven Christian children in the lands they conquered had to be paid as tribute (boys would be forcibly converted and conscripted into the army while girls were taken as sex slaves). This explains why so many people from the Middle East look as if they could pass for European. Roughly the same number of Africans were taken by the Ottomans as the British would later do. But the reason that there is almost no-one of African descent living in Turkey or the Levant is because the Ottomans were even more cruel than the Brits when it came to enslaved Africans, killing and castrating them in the tens of thousands. I just thought that this should be something that you could talk about, as it is a topic that is scarcely covered in the Western world, possibly because there are very few accounts of the Ottoman (or Barbary, as it was known) slave trade in English.
@Justin Clark So it is fine when you use historical stuff to have self pity but nobody is allowed to bring up history? It must be good to blame everything on things that happened to ancestors. You probably think all white people had slaves and were living in mansions, right?
@@MinimalistTheatre333 there are people of african descent in turkey and iraq , just a lil google and you will find out, even hier on youtube, trying to point fingers at others while deverting from yourself is kind of cheap dont u think, and your point still doesnt hide or cancel the fact that europeans did exactly what the ottomans did,or the arabs ,so what really is your point here?
I'm an African and this Channel is helping me learn so much more about American black history. Respect to our ancestors who built American for free and respect for their offspring for fighting for freedom that the world had witnessed and continue to do so. So thank you for uploads you took time from your life to bring great content. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you sam for learning about the african descendants who are now the african americans yes we did invent all that is used today all over the world and we built this country period ! so thanks for learning about us and knowing we arent the lies that came back to africa about ur brothers and sisters in america !

Old published books or papers coverage . THE TRUTH i did run into a lot of dead ends !!
Well, he probably wouldn't show it now, because now we know Bill Cosby raped dozens or hundreds of women. Your history teacher probably was too good a person to subject the girls in his class to watching a known rapist teaching them.
And a few other red states like Texas, and SC. I'm voting blue. The Republicans are already censoring books again. I learned about Frederick Douglas in a BOOK when I was 12 in 1978. Please, we've got to keep moving forward for the good of our future generations. I'm voting blue!
Bill Cosby will always be my Elder. and I will always support him. I was in kindergarten when he used to make these tapes. They mostly appeared on channels that a lot of people didn't watch. I will never take part of the assassination against him.
I am living in Africa and I am often frustrated to hear blacks who celebrate the 'lynching' of our own people It's so refreshing to read the comments that are so positive about Mr Cosby. Nice to know there are still Blacks who are still awake in the USA.
@@reasoningwithrema I wish more people in Africa would be sympathetic towards the black Americans in America because we are Africans that were kidnapped and sold into slavery. I wish more countries in Africa would put pressure on the United States to be accountable for what happened to black Americans/African Americans... But honestly African people are being oppressed in Africa as well as the whole world! We need unity as black people and Africans, we are one in the same but we have been separated by white supremacy.
If something has been beaten into, it has to be beaten out. I didn't grow up in a country that had racism but living here made me understand why things are the was they are.
In 1975 I was part of the Cooper Community daycare center in Roxbury Massachusetts. I can remember singing African songs and learning about African history and culture at the age of five. Ironically after this fact I was part of the Boston busting crisis in which I was sent to Charlestown Massachusetts for the first grade. Looking back almost 50 years later I can clearly understand how part of my cultural development was deliberately lost through the education system. Truly I tell you life opens your eyes when it's time. 🤔😌🙏🏽💯
Schools are just for programming the innocence out of our children and replacing it with softer minds that can be made to think , feel and do anything against their will . I have learned more of the truth from credible channels like THIS one , thankfully
On July 2nd, 1968, this classic episode of "Black History: Lost, Stolen, or Strayed," was first aired on WCBS-TV, Channel 2, at 10:00 P.M. in New York City. I was two months shy of my fifteenth birthday at the time. Dr. William Henry Cosby, Jr. was the host on parts one and two. This six-part CBS series entitled OF BLACK AMERICA, series was indeed, an eye opener and also left a lasting impression, PERIOD!!!
Mr. Cosby we need to know our history. Thank you!!! Hebrew (black people ) wake up. This history they have been telling us r lies and they don't want the truth out. so the white man had to somehow shut you up. we r waking up. my mother always told me what goes around comes around, now let them figure that one out
@@beckfordorganics When you grow up you'll realize nobody gives a shit about you regardless of skin color. You think white people get free handouts for being white? If so go visit some dirt poor mining town in west virginia.
There has never been a single black man in history as great as dozens of americans and europeans throughout history. Name a black man with even 1/10th the greatness of george washington.
The most moving part of this whole production, to me of course, was the black MAN imparting value and education to those beautiful black children. He gave them what other nations have had from the beginning of time, he gave them identity.
This has to be one of the greatest videos I've ever seen in life. Every single human living in America should watch this. 👏👏fantastic content and I'm definitely now a follower to your channel.
@@CatKingCole82 if the parents allow it. It starts in the home. Parents need to be more present and make sure their kids are consuming the education and information the parents want them to know.

Thank you Mr Cosby. I wish I had seen this video when I was a child in elementary school. Fortunately for me I grew up watching the Cosby Show and listening to Cosby’s records, and all the positive influences of Motown records, Bob Marley, Tony Brown’s Journal and so much more. Thank you to all the Vanguards !
Yes. That was my first thought too. I never stopped loving Bill Cosby for all the good he's done on screen and off. Trying to bring joy into our life with the Cosby Show,and Fat Albert. And every show was a teachable show that you learned something from. And not to mention his comedy movies, and on stage performances. Then to wait till he's an elderly man and pull the rug from under him. It was like they couldn't let a wealthy black man with no blemishes, go down in history like that. So they had to find some dirt to throw on his name. Well in my History book I'll always just remember him for the good he did.
That is sad but true. The whole situation from Dr. Cosby to police brutality, etc. has been an outrage. That is why ONLY REPARATIONS WILL BEGIN TO CORRECT and those reparations must start at $5,000,000 per person!!
@@paulj0557tonehead Reparations do Matter! And for the Longest Time Blacks were Never Considered, maybe the Native American or the Jew, but Never Blacks. To this day we are still being attacked. Over such an extremely long amount of time, Blacks are sadly disorganized because of the ways we've been treated! Now I don't hate many of the White folks out there, I have been around so many people, all of them kind hearted, all of them that befriended me and my family. But Let's not forget, while the good White folks exist...so do The Awful ones! The White Supremacists and their Unending belief that They are Better than us or Deserve everything that isn't theirs! These people have beaten, tortured, raped, pillaged and destroyed or tries to Erase us! Tried make our Very existence a Living Hell! And to belief that such a thing does not exist now is a Shameful mentality! Shame On You for Believing that Racism is over! Shame on you for thinking that Such Men a Donald Trump could ever Care about Us or Any Man of another race! Shame on you for Forgetting what your Ancestors Suffered, for You May Not Remember you, but they Know You exist, and They are Deeply ashamed that you believe in their lives! Even now the KKK and Neo-Nazi's plan against us and attack all of us in the Belief that they are better, all the while Our government pretends it's doing its job, pretends that it cares, when in fact they Founded and even support people like David Duke, even allowing such a man to be rewarded! It's disgusting! We are overdue for Reparations, but no amount of Money can can undo the Shameful, traitorous, and Decieving Lies that America has seeded with its own hands!
Seeing those drawings breaks my heart. This is a great documentary and it’s a shame that this isn’t shown in schools across the country. We really REALLY need to revise our American history books.
Thank you for sharing! This is hard to watch. Painfully hard. I am West African and I was adopted by a non POC family. I always knew about my African culture and my parents did their best. I learned about American African history. However, there is a lot I do not know. It hurts. It’s hard because my family is not like this. There is more to say. But, at this time I cannot say much else. I am doing more to educate myself. Thank you for the resources.
41:51...the teacher and the children in class at the end was so so very touching...i love the way he speaks power, beauty and love into them...priceless... ❤
This is an excellent program... it's like the teacher said to the younger ones.... its brilliant... and more people need to watch this classic from 1968.

I got teary eyed watching the drills with the children. Not sad teary eyed, I was actually smiling. I wish I lived in the times of strong black men like this teacher.
You do live in the times of strong Black men and women - they are all around and they set excellent examples, share strong, positive messages in a variety of ways and through various mediums - a prime example is this channels creator, content researcher and uploader, film maker, podcast host, educator and light shining motivator, Brother MIKE D.! And although we can now actively find numerous images and strong, positive Black men, thanks to the internet and even occasionally in the mainstream on TV and in movies and to a much lesser extent news, magazines, politics and pop culture, most do not have a camera on them or a microphone through which they are able to reach a wide audience. Most are ordinary Black men and women who live their lives, raise their families, contributing in various ways, being both recognized and over looked by the people around them every day - inspite of what michael shultz ignorantly says or believes!
This vid 's views should ve been up in the millions this is critical info and education that the blacks kids and alot of adults need to know today this is a powerful video. !!!!
Lol deep emphatically now cipher! This is simple teachings if you are not a Johnny come lately . To the knowledge of self. Not His-story the colored man ( Caucasian)
Rev 18:4 “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
So they didn't destroy him back then, but only waited until he was elderly and out of the public eye to somehow trump up 40 years worth of credible rape accusations? That makes no sense. He's a rapist. Accept it.
I find my self watching this video over and over, it never gets old, It just reminds me of the importance of knowing your history and correcting mistakes through our youth. I've always had love and respect for Dr. Cosby. I grew up in Philly with this same type of teaching from my parents and aunt. It's about knowing who you are in the world and taking your rightful and respectable place in it, also knowing while doing it you don't have to waste precious time and energy hating others. Peace and love. Free Dr. W. H. Cosby!!

Wow!!! This documentary was very powerful!!! Bill Cosby was a real one for this!!! I pray the children at the end are all successful and didn’t succumb to the poisons that were introduced in our communities..🙏🏾🤎🖤
Thank you for posting this. I'm White. I grew up in a historic town in South Carolina in the 1980s/90s. The schools taught us about US slavery before I was 10 years old but the only Black inventor I learned about in school was the man who invented the cotton gin. The only Black historical figures they taught us about were the civil rights leaders. In spite of my thirst for knowledge, I didn't know there were so many Black inventors, politicians, and historical figures in the USA (prior to the civil rights movement) until a few years ago, when I heard Glenn Beck talk about the hidden history of Black Americans on his radio program. It makes me sad that the contributions Black Americans have made to this country (outside of slavery or civil rights) are not taught in our schools or spoken of by our politicians. It feels like something important has been ripped away from the fabric of this nation. We're all worse off for it. Why are these things still kept secret now? The accomplishments of those great Americans should be celebrated!
But that’s also part of the problem we as a people aren’t teaching this either, but we’re expecting others to do it, others who may not know it or are willfully hiding it. I believe it was Booker Coleman who once said for 400 years other people have been telling us who we are and for 400 years we’ve believed it.

Big ups to reelblack as always. We appreciate ur efforts. 👏✴✌ Im still surprised that they aired this back then at all. They dont air these kind of docs now, thats for sure. They stick to the standards. U have to come here to find this kind of presentation. Everyone should remember that hollywood is a business with a purpose that is not in favor of the melanated community. So whenever something like this sees the light of day, trust & believe there were quid pro quo deals going on behind the scenes. A significant price or *prices* were paid. U dont get to tell a truth that doesnt make those in control look good without sacrifices being made in exchange. All u have to do is pay attention to see what Im talking about. That is, if u care to pay attention.
They aired it becaused beloved American property was burning or looted so... to calm people down threw them a bone. Ok ok here's some limited validation for your raw and wounded soul. There there stop burning our property now.
“Melanated” is not a word. Everyone has melanin in their skin. If they didn’t, they would be translucent. Every time someone says or types, “melanated” they’re embarrassing themselves. Btw, “u” is not a word.

I vaguely remember in 1st grade art class, the teacher asking us to paint a self portrait. I'm Puerto Rican, so I have color. I picked up that brown brush and painted myself accordingly, teacher was white and after all these years, I understand why he was so happy & surprised that I painted my portrait the way I did. He asked my mother if he could borrow my painting to take it to some state or county art competition. I was very younge and don't remember all the details, I do remember how embarrassed I felt when a few weeks later he brought me in front of the class & told me I won first place.. such a crazy moment in time that I will never forget, and now watching this video almost 35 years later, I understand.

Mr. Cosby was on point with all of it... It saddens me about his present life. Albeit, he never wavered about who he represented. For that alone, I appreciate his candor & ability to educate. Thank you for sharing...😌💕💕💕

The Bill Cosby they don’t want you to know.
I'm 19 kinda knew this but the education system is irrelevant at this point. Kids are still uneducated they've given up in highschool my peers still struggled with one syllable words. Also they don't the necessity to gain a education. It won't create equality. Going to school I believe now weakens your mind to submit and be controllable your being taught to be a worker in someone else's success. I use to be apologetic bout life until emptiness filled my being. History is told by those who chose to tell even at that point it's someone else's perspective. Past, future and present. Explain to me how can a future exist if the present is forever changing. Past is the only history because it's has happen and not a possibility. Dis da being of my mind as a child who observed his community's. Witness chaos and destruction only to think of sorrow. Growing up into adulthood as a "grown child" filled with temptation ik 4 a fact the kid who may want to burn down cities is who I became mentally. This could be possibly self incriminating. Understanding America is you are a number used for economical growth. I hate this place I'm just an inhabitant that falls within a category. Crimes are considered illegal yet I'm somewhat entertained by hip-hop that promotes criminal activity, only to comprehend "police" can be called hero's. Do not misinterpret what I'm saying I liked both MLK and Malcolm X but as I grow older MLK methods became undignified imo for he simply wanted peace and was non violent they enjoyed his submission in frustration from the impact. MLK made a seemingly big difference to a problem so huge it actually seemed insignificant to my eyes. If explain my witnessing and get attention I'd be possibly killed. Considerably at this point i can't even clearly understand my opinion of death. From da hood you wanna make yo mama proud and get ha out...she dead from negligence and economics. Now I have to figure out a reason to live for myself America already know what I'm talking about. Already got unwanted attention from the gov. Gone head an classify me as a potential terrorist I'm slowly losing empathy and sympathy for anyone as human being, this 1st seemed optional then I realized it's not to answer who was raising the "blacks" kids it was themselves dumbasses the oldest was in charge and disregarded by there parents in terms of opinion. If u have any questions bout the youth actions I may have the answer, or I may make stupidity make sense not for me to interpret

Have you heard about the Ottoman slave trade? They abducted 1.25 million Europeans (mainly from Eastern Europe or from captured vessels) in addition to numerous North Africans and Indians; essentially, anyone who was not a Muslim. And this does not include their jizya tax, which meant that one in seven Christian children in the lands they conquered had to be paid as tribute (boys would be forcibly converted and conscripted into the army while girls were taken as sex slaves). This explains why so many people from the Middle East look as if they could pass for European.
Roughly the same number of Africans were taken by the Ottomans as the British would later do. But the reason that there is almost no-one of African descent living in Turkey or the Levant is because the Ottomans were even more cruel than the Brits when it came to enslaved Africans, killing and castrating them in the tens of thousands.
I just thought that this should be something that you could talk about, as it is a topic that is scarcely covered in the Western world, possibly because there are very few accounts of the Ottoman (or Barbary, as it was known) slave trade in English.
@Justin Clark So it is fine when you use historical stuff to have self pity but nobody is allowed to bring up history? It must be good to blame everything on things that happened to ancestors. You probably think all white people had slaves and were living in mansions, right?
@@MinimalistTheatre333 there are people of african descent in turkey and iraq , just a lil google and you will find out, even hier on youtube, trying to point fingers at others while deverting from yourself is kind of cheap dont u think, and your point still doesnt hide or cancel the fact that europeans did exactly what the ottomans did,or the arabs ,so what really is your point here?

Well, he probably wouldn't show it now, because now we know Bill Cosby raped dozens or hundreds of women. Your history teacher probably was too good a person to subject the girls in his class to watching a known rapist teaching them.

This is the most interesting documentary I've EVER seen. Now I see why a lot of things are the way they are. " Nothing new under the sun. "
If something has been beaten into, it has to be beaten out. I didn't grow up in a country that had racism but living here made me understand why things are the was they are.
In 1975 I was part of the Cooper Community daycare center in Roxbury Massachusetts. I can remember singing African songs and learning about African history and culture at the age of five. Ironically after this fact I was part of the Boston busting crisis in which I was sent to Charlestown Massachusetts for the first grade. Looking back almost 50 years later I can clearly understand how part of my cultural development was deliberately lost through the education system. Truly I tell you life opens your eyes when it's time. 🤔😌🙏🏽💯
Many of our American Ancestors are not from the continent of Africa. Many were brought here the West Indies, South America and Central America.
Schools are just for programming the innocence out of our children and replacing it with softer minds that can be made to think , feel and do anything against their will . I have learned more of the truth from credible channels like THIS one , thankfully
What's the name of some of these so called African songs ?
On July 2nd, 1968, this classic episode of "Black History: Lost, Stolen, or Strayed," was first aired on WCBS-TV, Channel 2, at 10:00 P.M. in New York City. I was two months shy of my fifteenth birthday at the time. Dr. William Henry Cosby, Jr. was the host on parts one and two. This six-part CBS series entitled OF BLACK AMERICA, series was indeed, an eye opener and also left a lasting impression, PERIOD!!!
This was very powerful. I'll be taking notes on this.
Lol on God I was just thinking that
Especially the end. We have to teach the kids early.
Mr. Cosby we need to know our history. Thank you!!! Hebrew (black people ) wake up. This history they have been telling us r lies and they don't want the truth out. so the white man had to somehow shut you up. we r waking up. my mother always told me what goes around comes around, now let them figure that one out

I never knew this existed now I see why they went after Mr. Cosby
Yes. That was my first thought too. I never stopped loving Bill Cosby for all the good he's done on screen and off. Trying to bring joy into our life with the Cosby Show,and Fat Albert. And every show was a teachable show that you learned something from. And not to mention his comedy movies, and on stage performances. Then to wait till he's an elderly man and pull the rug from under him. It was like they couldn't let a wealthy black man with no blemishes, go down in history like that. So they had to find some dirt to throw on his name. Well in my History book I'll always just remember him for the good he did.
That is sad but true. The whole situation from Dr. Cosby to police brutality, etc. has been an outrage. That is why ONLY REPARATIONS WILL BEGIN TO CORRECT and those reparations must start at $5,000,000 per person!!

Now, far too many of them are in jail or prison, not working, abusing their women, and not raising their children.

And although we can now actively find numerous images and strong, positive Black men, thanks to the internet and even occasionally in the mainstream on TV and in movies and to a much lesser extent news, magazines, politics and pop culture, most do not have a camera on them or a microphone through which they are able to reach a wide audience.

Thank-you DR. BILL COSBY and Reelblack! I pray you all continue to flourish and that you Dr. Cosby return home to your family SOON😍
I needed to see this. Reignite my fire. Thanks for posting this. I subscribed 10 minutes into this and reading the about tab. Thank you for this.
Rev 18:4
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Thanks so much for sharing truth
Apttmh
white people created religion
@@ohfourbaby indeed this is true,they know truly the Bible that is in these churches is about us also
@@yehusala175 that's also true!
This is the most inspirational documentary I’ve ever payed eyes upon thank you
Just by watching this, makes me sick to my stomach. Even worse that no one was listening to Bill Cosby 🚮
The real ones know the truth... THIS is why the want him destroyed! Thanks Reelblack...Dope video like always!
So they didn't destroy him back then, but only waited until he was elderly and out of the public eye to somehow trump up 40 years worth of credible rape accusations? That makes no sense. He's a rapist. Accept it.
I find my self watching this video over and over, it never gets old, It just reminds me of the importance of knowing your history and correcting mistakes through our youth. I've always had love and respect for Dr. Cosby. I grew up in Philly with this same type of teaching from my parents and aunt. It's about knowing who you are in the world and taking your rightful and respectable place in it, also knowing while doing it you don't have to waste precious time and energy hating others. Peace and love. Free Dr. W. H. Cosby!!
This makes me so very sad. It's two centuries later and people still see us the same way. So very sad# heart breaking
Have you heard about the Ottoman slave trade? They abducted 1.25 million Europeans (mainly from Eastern Europe or from captured vessels) in addition to numerous North Africans and Indians; essentially, anyone who was not a Muslim. And this does not include their jizya tax, which meant that one in seven Christian children in the lands they conquered had to be paid as tribute (boys would be forcibly converted and conscripted into the army while girls were taken as sex slaves). This explains why so many people from the Middle East look as if they could pass for European.
Roughly the same number of Africans were taken by the Ottomans as the British would later do. But the reason that there is almost no-one of African descent living in Turkey or the Levant is because the Ottomans were even more cruel than the Brits when it came to enslaved Africans, killing and castrating them in the tens of thousands.
I just thought that this should be something that you could talk about, as it is a topic that is scarcely covered in the Western world, possibly because there are very few accounts of the Ottoman (or Barbary, as it was known) slave trade in English.
@Justin Clark - That makes no sense. I'm with Morgan Freeman: Stop talking about it.
@@sirkayda7205 I agree; 99 percent of whites don't think like this. This film is very manipulative and disingenuous.
Why am I just finding out about this series
The entire video is great but the last 12 minutes are the beginning to true power
Wow!!! This documentary was very powerful!!! Bill Cosby was a real one for this!!! I pray the children at the end are all successful and didn’t succumb to the poisons that were introduced in our communities..🙏🏾🤎🖤
Thank you for posting this.
I'm White. I grew up in a historic town in South Carolina in the 1980s/90s. The schools taught us about US slavery before I was 10 years old but the only Black inventor I learned about in school was the man who invented the cotton gin. The only Black historical figures they taught us about were the civil rights leaders.
In spite of my thirst for knowledge, I didn't know there were so many Black inventors, politicians, and historical figures in the USA (prior to the civil rights movement) until a few years ago, when I heard Glenn Beck talk about the hidden history of Black Americans on his radio program.
It makes me sad that the contributions Black Americans have made to this country (outside of slavery or civil rights) are not taught in our schools or spoken of by our politicians. It feels like something important has been ripped away from the fabric of this nation. We're all worse off for it. Why are these things still kept secret now? The accomplishments of those great Americans should be celebrated!
But that’s also part of the problem we as a people aren’t teaching this either, but we’re expecting others to do it, others who may not know it or are willfully hiding it.
I believe it was Booker Coleman who once said for 400 years other people have been telling us who we are and for 400 years we’ve believed it.
@@stewrobb2329 could you go in a school yard and talk to your child as you do at home.???.ask anny teacher if they are could teach a new subject when they feel like.much less about black history.
This is an amazing upload! Thank you!
This is simply wonderful. Thank you Mr. Cosby
This is the first time out of my 18 years of living I've ever heard or saw bill cosby teach I never new
Yeahhhh he used to have a show called picture pages as well. I eas born in 1976 so yeah, Im pretty old 😂.
That's the game bro. I'm in the same boat as you. Gotta have access to truth
*knew
@@PsychologyGeek76 I was born in 1976 too, I definitely don´t consider my self to be neither old nor pretty old.
I will be old if I get 80. Stay young! =)
@@PsychologyGeek76 I always thought it was picture perfect. I remember when I was about 3 I would watch it. I think he had a marker that would make noises.
So thankful for Mr. Cosby sharing this back in the 60s. It sickens me how we have regressed to an even more degrading state after brave men and women in the 60s and 70s risked it all to show us how far back and rich our history really is.
This was deep. The first black man was bilal r.a. He announced the azaan what gets played in every part off the world 🌍 5x a day. The Muslim call to prayer. Ameen.
Big ups to reelblack as always. We appreciate ur efforts. 👏✴✌
Im still surprised that they aired this back then at all. They dont air these kind of docs now, thats for sure. They stick to the standards. U have to come here to find this kind of presentation.
Everyone should remember that hollywood is a business with a purpose that is not in favor of the melanated community. So whenever something like this sees the light of day, trust & believe there were quid pro quo deals going on behind the scenes. A significant price or *prices* were paid. U dont get to tell a truth that doesnt make those in control look good without sacrifices being made in exchange. All u have to do is pay attention to see what Im talking about. That is, if u care to pay attention.
Hollywood has always been horrible and hasn’t served ANYONE well!!
They aired it becaused beloved American property was burning or looted so... to calm people down threw them a bone. Ok ok here's some limited validation for your raw and wounded soul. There there stop burning our property now.
“Melanated” is not a word. Everyone has melanin in their skin. If they didn’t, they would be translucent. Every time someone says or types, “melanated” they’re embarrassing themselves. Btw, “u” is not a word.
@@michaelshultz1590 aw!
@@Nisa1971 Thanks to the Democrats running my home city, we get to watch the Democrats burn the city. We are not allowed to arrest them unless we see a felony assault. Even then, those charges are often reduced or even dropped. We have a useless Mayor, Governor, and both Senators. They’re all Democrats.
