“I dont want Black History month. I dont want White History Month. I dont want Women, Hispanic, or Asian history month. This is American history. American history is Black history” -Morgan Freeman
I would say *its a part of* rather than it is _de facto_ Taking that assumption you would be erasing the irish and the influence in new england the italians and the mafia in the u.s.a The english and the civil war...
The fact that we as a people subconsciously separate everything by race is the problem. If we get rid of the concept of race people would begin to see how separated we really still are.
Condumb politics are stupid but necessary. For example I’m an independent so I’m not with either ideology, but that also means that as a person I have to ignore people’s political beliefs and see them as a person. Same thing with race. I’m not talking to a republican, I’m talking to a person. I’m not talking to a black person, I’m talking to a person.
its pretty normal people have groups. humans can in general only process a few numbers and have certain fear of unknown for survival reasons. rome collapsed because it got too big. EU and other big groups are facing resistance because theyre so distant from everyday life yet have control over it. in Americas the difference between 2 states can be night and day in about everything still, hes right. there are people who embrace traveling and exploring. then there are people who see even the same colored, same aged and same economical status person living next door an enemy
I am in awe of this man every time I hear his ideas. They are beautiful, all inclusive, ideas. He wants real unity, real understanding, and for us to love each other, be friends with each other. If you think about it, he really teaches the gospel.
Real inclusivity Is appreciating each part of the machine for its individuality. This “color blind” mentality is bull shit 😂 and is the reason why the “left” in the USA is still right leaning. Wolves who think they are sheep
@@coledoucette5116m not a Christian but im gonna go ahead and say the main message of being a Christian is to ask Jesus to forgive you and believe that he is gods son since that is literally the only way the Bible says you go to heaven. Just because i think all humans are equal will not get me a ticket to heaven so says the bible. Not sure where you get your facts about Christianity from 😂
@@ArcTHC yeah I’ve grown a lot more over the last few months and that is true, but it is still very true that believing you are better than others is a sin and if you don’t repent of that you may be damned. We are all worthy of Hell and all deserve to perish, but since Jesus sacrificed himself for us we can have eternal life as long as we believe in him and his resurrection
Daryl is one of the coolest dudes in this country. The guy knows wtf he's talking about and he's the real deal. He speaks the truth and some people can't handle the truth.
The dude makes a very thoughtful and caring argument about why black history month needs to be assimilated into American history and dumbasses don't take 10 minutes to listen to it and instead read the title and call him Uncle Ruckus.
I mean he didn't have to call out Ben fucking Franklin. That man did more in his life than 1,000 Americans together. There is a reason we study that man for more than a month. His impact on our government and inventions are just a start.
General Woofles Watched it, just more blacks with their hand out. Nothing to see here. Has nothing to do with being racist, just facts. If any other race acted as entitled or as much a victim as blacks do, I’d be on their ass, too. Everyone has an opinion, but mine is the correct one. Be mad if you want to.
I agree with this man. I am a Mexican-American and I have to say the the exact same thing for Chicanos. Gabriel Iglesias said the exact same thing on one of his stand ups. Gabriel Iglesias constantly gets called a Latino-comic but it makes it sound like he only performs for Latinos when we know he performs for everyone. He said that literally had to travel all the way to the Middle East to finally be called American. God bless you, Daryl Davis.
I laughed when we got Asian history month. They were like "why is it funny to you?" And I went "we can just teach it we don't need a month to validate Asian history"
@Chad Langlois my parents didnt teach me who invented the lightbulb or who was the first president, the school system did. I did absolutely nothing with that information. I think school is kind of unnecessary after a certain point because they start teaching you things your not really gonna use in life. I agree with you my parents taught me more important things than the schools too
Fun fact, he actually came to our school and turn a whole school that usually are rowdy, disrespectful, and never pay attention to speeches or presentations to be completely captivated and focused on the message. He is a wonderful guy and is really a great speaker.
The story of how he befriended klansmen and they realized they could no longer hold those views is incredible. That's a truly special kind of empathy and connecting with others.
@@josephdockemeyer6782 Have you never bee to a high school. What do people expect to happen when you lump unstable minds form hundreds of different back grounds in one area expect them to play nice.
Ive been arguing this for years and I used to get a mixed bag of responses. Im glad people are getting more “woke” to the idea that having a literal month after a whole race, versus just calling it history month and involving all races would do a lot more for mankind.
I'm all for making it American History, but part of me feels like they'll phase out the facts and white wash it like most schools already do. At least the month gives people more incentive to look into black history and inform themselves.
@@lex_rodriguez If a school is intent on whitewashing history...shoehorning the entire history of a race into one 28 day month isn't going to change that. As it is now, they teach the necessary curriculum...and tap dance around the touchy subjects. Whether it's February or September... The only thing that is going to force schools to change is the parents in their district demanding it. Schools answer to the residents...if they lose funding, things will change. Government honors and faux holidays don't actually impact sh*t...they just make people feel good, with as little real effort and change as possible.
46 years old, and I remember having both Washington and Lincoln days celebrated in grade school, and remember the Presidents’ Day sales that started showing up for local shopping malls not too far afterward.
Makes an “outrageous claim” Gives historical context Gives personal experience Gives plenty of detail Makes his argument Gives historical context Ends his argument
I agree, but the issue is how schools teach history, it is a writing class with historical elements that are glossed over. The education system is a joke to history and why so many Americans do not know what the Crusades were, that the Holocaust happened during WWII, or even simple geography like where China and Russia are on a map...
@@notoriousriot250 maybe, but not spending more than 5 min, most people dont know basic geography at all for where countries are. And due to how you are taught WWII and the Holocaust separately some people fail to realize it was even happening at the same time. These are things that college educated doctors, nurses and english teachers do not understand. Personally I just dislike how so many Christian's have such strong belief in a religion they do not know the history of. And how little people learn of WWII, especially WWI, and more. But I guess there isnt enough time to teach all of that when you are writing 10 page papers about it.
I'm a firm believer in what Morgan Freeman said in regards to how to get rid of racism. "Stop talking about it" All my kids are mixed and I am dreading the day that I have to explain to them racism. We are all innocent until our parents show us the path we are going to follow.
@@claudeyaz Yup, our public education system is a complete joke. It was designed to pump out factory workers when we were doing back to back world wars. It's supposed to teach kids to get used to doing menial tasks for 8 hours a day.

The Darkfrost Yes, saw him do a talk in Ohio and managed too have a little convo with him afterwards about how he started his music and all that. Was amazing and he’s so kind!
White dude here: I see Black History Month as essentially the same as See No Colour... We needed to make some anti-racist stuff OVERTLY public before enough people were kinda like "Yaaaa, I get it... Whatever, I won't say the N word in public anymore." 😂😂😂 They were overcorrections! But when your car starts to skid? You freak out, swerve the other way too far, then back the other way, etc But you're always getting closer to "driving true"
I'm pretty young, recently graduated from high school, and I can confirm that we already do teach about historical black people throughout the year, depending on the subject of course. When were talking about 1800s and slavery, we discuss Frederick Douglass and WB Dubois. Mid-late 1900s and were taught about Malcolm X and MLK. However, we are not taught about who made the traffic light, and why should we? We also don't learn about who made the electric-powered fan, who made the first vacuum, so I dont know if any white people made that. The only reason we know about Benjamin Franklin and his stuff is because he was a founding father, which is pretty huge. I do agree the black history month should be removed, because we shouldn't divide ourselves anymore. American History should envelop all citizens of the US.
I dont get why we focus on our differences instead of our similarities. Race is a social construct, there is no difference between black american history and american history.
First black contestant on Miss America was in 1971. First black winner of Miss America was in 1984. On the other hand, Miss Black America was founded 1968 and has continued indefinitely since.
Adam Irishconundrum not to mention the many thousands that fought and died in WW1 WW2 Korea Vietnam etc disrespecting the flag dishonored their sacrifices as well. I think we can agree that was the wrong time and place for a political statement.
Adan Gallardo yes and to your point if blacks weren’t born in Africa then they’re just Americans. I don’t call myself a Scandinavian American just a white American .Society seems to be so PC and hyper sensitive some people just want to be victims
@Adam Irishconundrum they knell to the national Anthem as a form of protest against the way the American police seem to have a more severe response to black people the white people. I would not say thats ignorance. I would say thats a pretty good reason to protest and I also wouldn't say its disrespectful to soldiers to use the first amendment that they fight to protect.

hoBBes that is a quote from person who never felt the true hurt from not being appreciated for your talent and accomplishments because people who really fought for civil liberties would never suggested such a thing one thing Trump show me racism not dead it’s been hiding
I agree with this 100% there shouldn’t be black history month or women’s month. It should be all included in American history. This guy is talking straight facts
Say what! No I know I did learn that too but the point is that we learn the same stuff each year when it should be just incorporated into American history throughout and have more people including modern times as well not just during the era of slavery and civil rights.
GLADIATOR GAMING INFO yea I learned the same stuff every year as well. Though you were saying you didn’t learn anything. And I do agree we should learn more modern stuff as well. I just feel we should focus more on actual history rather than skin color...
I've been thinking about this for a while now, it just doesn't make sense to push groups into a spotlight to get rid of the difference seen between them. It just distinguished those groups more in peoples minds. Society needs to just stop showing difference that isn't there, and treat people like people. Look behind what you see. Look at the individual themselves, and judge them on their personality. Not because they're black, or white, or straight, or gay, or female, or male. People are people. Treat them like it.
The sad thing is that Gen Z would totally try to just tear this man apart, call him white washed and stuff like that just because he is trying unite everyone together 😔

@@drfunk1986 How do you cover up someone's racism, if they put it put in the open face and all, for everyone to see? Are you saying people are incapable of changing?
As a teacher - I’ve been in agreement with this man for ... well. Forever .... and black history was simply part of American history. No race about it. Amen.
I dont think people should be remembered or taught based on the color of their skin, it should be based on what they accomplished/did, and how that impacted the world
Okay but we can’t do that equally is the issue. That’s why we fought for people of certain colors to be recognized for stuff. White people were being unfairly recognized and the excuse was “they accomplish more” when people of other races were accomplishing as much if not more. So we need that
They don't need to be remembered or taught based on the color of their skin. But for too long, people of a particular color of skin have NOT been remembered or taught, specifically because of their skin. If you watched the video, that's why the month came about in the first place.
Lmao. Is Morgan Freeman the pope of black people? People already know this! Besides, I don't see how ignoring actual racism would solve the problem. If anything, it'd probably spiral back out of control.
@@TheRhynamo You misunderstood the quote then. It doesn't mean "ignoring" racism. Just recognize that "race" is just a social construct, and can be changed If enough stop with the bullshit.
@ATL 1 lol "the chosen few". Is someone paying you to play this much of a victim? Yes, the guy that lived though Emmett Till, the civil rights movement, and riots had it so much easier making it to the top than you have. You blaming others and making excuses is why you are where you are on top of you being an idiot that completely missed the point of what he was saying
Yes that make sense. In college, my professor didn’t have time to teach us black history and insisted to wait for February to teach it. It’s almost normalize to learn about “black” history only in “its” month.
"How do you discover something when people are already there" while that's fair, if they have no way to record anything then history wont remember them, and they will be forgotten and to us, they never woulda existed...
Hey may I raise awareness with you on something? I had some gay experiences when I was younger, sex. I was bi but now I'm just straight and I'm now suffering some repercussions. In my country, Romania, they put a "coward" system in place and it started in Brusels, they call so everyone who doesn't want to get maried. The punishment for it is constant ridicule for a lifetime, and constant means constant. I'm subjected to this and everyone is told to tell me I have hallucinations if I confront them, ofcourse they insult me back and forth before this line of theirs, in my face with everyone else having a blast. My family agrees with my harassers and I'm living a nightmare for some time now, I've changed cities multiple times and I'm almost out of money. I've been locked up for slapping people and once for getting in a fight because of it. I've been beaten for spitting and treated with light violence for giving lip.

At the school I teach at, there's a US History teacher that a lot of students would complain about because according to them, "all she talks about is black people." So out of curiosity, I asked her if I could see some of her old lesson plans and syllabi from past semesters, and even sat in on a couple of her classes: Turns out, what a lot of the students called "only talking about black people" was her covering the history, using the assigned textbook plus additional readings, just like any regular US History teacher, _and then she would supplement (not replace) the usual material_ by talking about how black people in America were affected during those events: Information that wasn't given in the textbooks. The biggest irony: Of all the history teachers, she was the only one who during the spring semesters would NOT alter her curriculum during the month of February and would treat it like any other month, as opposed to the others who would ONLY talk about black history, and then go back to business as usual in March (and for those teachers, none of the shit covered in that month really counted; it was just treated as "side content" that didn't impact the overall material). THAT'S how you do black history right. There's a certain sad hilarity that in a misguided attempt to increase awareness of black people's place and role in US history, we've essentially SEGREGATED black history into one month of the year instead of integrating it into the greater canon of American history.
I just graduated high school last year and all we did was talk about minorities primarily blacks. And if we did talk about white people it was always bad. I asked my history teacher why don't we talk about any good things white people did and she said, "because all they did were bad things" my teacher was the whitest thing I have ever seen. I was so shocked like how could you say that, imagine if she said the same thing but about black people. She wouldn't have a job for sure.
I mentioned this elsewhere but, to be the goal of history class is to answer the question, "how did we get to where we are today?" Anyone that doesn't go towards answering that pivotal question wouldn't be mentioned as they were immaterial to those events. Like or not, American history is, by and large, white man's history. The parts of history that involve black people are the ones that don't as such affect the country as a whole but black people (Slavery and Civil Rights). By and large, the only real times I would even mention black people separate from America is during the Civil War period (both leading up and post) and then the Civil Rights Era. Everything else, it's white men. At least it's not the women; I'd mention them during the suffragette period and that's about it.
Caleb Huskey they are shit talking someone who is making millions when instead you should look at why they made it. People will argue with mark Cuban on a point instead of soaking up everything he says.
Caleb Huskey shit talking someone who can work 1 year and then hibernate their whole life and still be richer than you means they are doing something right.
Caleb Huskey yea if they don’t do anything immoral and use common sense I think you are a fool and jealous to shit talk someone but we got people like antifa who just protested a trash cleanup group yesterday calling them raciest so a bunch of apes in this world.

Mr. Lynx you might be too quick to write off the masses. It’s true that there are those who will be outraged by it, but those are a mere few who get the attention. They aren’t the opinions of common people. It’s always the extremes that get the spotlight. People need to stop writing off everyone that disapproves of trump as a “libtard” and everyone who likes him as a white nationalist. (I’m aware you didn’t personally use those terms). There’s more in between those extremes than people acknowledge.
@ Mr. Lynx He is totally wrong as a black man we should have never assimilated to nothing in America history. No one should love adore or try to be in the good grace of their oppressor. So any Black person that wants to be integrated into American history is an oppressed mind like this fat fuck. So miss me with the we are the world BS.
John Banks 11 hours ago This is a guy who has de-radicalised many hardcore white supremacists and KKK members. Many of them have given their clan robes to him because he made them realise how ignorant they had been and he changed their lives.

The over commercializing of the month is also alarming. Walked into a Target last year and saw a black month shopping section go up in advance, as if it were Christmas merchandise. To each his own if wearing a shirt gives you a sense of belonging but if there's anything that's not about material things it'd be this.
Just because a black man said something so outrageous that white people wan't to hear, doesn't make it right, what he said is completely ridiculous. The reality is the total opposite of his desire. Black people who were brought to america, were stripped of their names, language, culture, religion/god, and taken totally away from the history of themselves. Here are 30 million who don't wear their own names, they wear your names. Who don't speak their own language, they speak english which is not their language. They were never allowed their own cultural expression of Africa. Don't you realise that when you turn the people upside down and inside out, then sell them, not for a day, not for a year, but for 300 years and deny them the human right to know, to read a book, to learn, to understand. And then after 300 years of that, you allow them into churches but by then you have painted Jesus white, God white, Angels white. Then all the black people have been subjected to a white supremacy that producers a white superiority. Blacks in america will never be able to do what they need to do to be able to correct their condition, They did all this but now whites wanna talk about "American history is black history." Get the fuck outta here.

Even Malcolm X said white liberals are the enemy but he did hold white people from all parties accountable.
@Trevor Honer You realise Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba were successfully artists during the era of apartheid? Does that mean they weren't oppressed?
i think a point that he forgot to make is that by having a separate month, you are strengthening the divide. teaching that we are separate. it also creates a sticking point of "why do they have a month and i dont" which if you just absorbed it and taught history in general that would go away.
Conversely, at this day and age, "removing" (assimilating) it would probably cause a lot of outrage. People will demand that it be reinstated and probably call people white supremacists for even suggesting that it be assimilated into american history or some other nonsense. People these days are truly deranged and don't listen to reason anymore, unfortunately.

When people say that Columbus discovered America he discovered it for Europe, Africa and Asia. Before that people didn't knew there was a continent there. There where no clear regists of it nor any valid map. Yes there where rumors, but nothing more than that. After he landed there the news travelled to Europe, Asia and Africa. That's why it's considered the he discovered it with the perspective that no one in the "known world" knew about it. The rest of the world only knew what was there after and had now some maps. People try to deny this historical fact just because he was a bad person by today ethics. But that was every historical figure. Every king killed people indirectly or directly. Every person with power would violate and r**** peasents, noble men and women (but noble men would do it way more often). Everyone with some kinda of power that change history for the better or worst did those things. Including black people in the slave trades. Black people would also kill each other, r**** each other and sell their own. This was normal in the past. Understanding the historical importance of Columbus and celebrating his and other people that where with him achievement doesn't deny the fact that he was a terrible person like any other person with power. Literally every hero to every nation/ethnicity/country was a murderer that won wars and slept with any women they wanted. Doesn't deny the fact that they had some positive influence in history too. It's ok to admire Alexander the Great for his conquering skills while acknowledging that he was responsible for a mass murderer. But he was also responsible for helping and providing a better life for his own people. I've seen so many women in media and real life getting inspired by Cleopatra that was a woman that against all odds became a supreme leader in a world governed by men. She was also responsible for slavery and slave trades that covered half of Europe, southeast Asia and north Africa. She literally had slaves from 3 different continents working under her government. But no one seems to get mad at this fact when some girl says they like Cleopatra as a historical figure.

I had a black American history teacher for all of my junior year of high school, Mr. Fair, and this guy never failed to make things interesting. To this day (two years later) he is my favorite teacher I’ve ever had. He was involved with a lot of student run clubs, knew how to connect with his students, had so much energy, was liked by everyone, and he had posters across his classroom that showed he cared a lot about activism and art. Because of his passion for activism and change, Mr. Fair never sugarcoated history for us and I thank him for that. He brought to light more issues in modern day America and taught more details about history than any teacher I’d ever seen or heard of doing. Opened my eyes to a lot of shit. I was also involved in the school’s poetry club, which he supervised, and he helped make me more confident as a writer. Thanks Mr. Fair 🤘🏻💯
Beautiful story. It is great that you had such a wonderful teacher. I had to figure out all this black history shit by myself (but I am glad that I was able to do it, because many people are unable of or just not interested on it).
You had a good teacher. I’m out of college and just started looking up black American history on my own because teachers made it so boring it didn’t sink in or seem related to anything including modern culture.
He does make a really logical point. Black history in a way makes us resent each other. “Oh god.. it’s February... time to get black stuff shoved down our throats for 4 weeks.” It’s really much better to just spread it out and in a way it makes us forget about out differences, we’re learning it all blended together.

@Michael Johnson I think we are on the same team Michael, lol. I am not complaining about having to learn about black history, I'm just being real. That's what people say when February comes around. "Black history month, here we go." The more we try to put those types of labels on things, the more people will see the differences between white and black. And no, the 11 other months out of the year are not called white history month. That's a figment of your imagination. This tribal/team mindset is why we are still in this racial mess.
Skankhunt42 is asian heritage month the same as black history month? Cause if so, absolutely. But it sounds cool to have a month dedicated to general (insert any race) heritage. A month where America (being a multicultural place) celebrates the music, dance, art, historical figures, etc of (insert x race) descent. It would also be cool if the world stopped acting like the only place music ever existed was in Europe and if the world stopped prioritizing European history over everything else, but that’s another subject for another day.
Skankhunt42 just the european-Americans are... to them you will always be Asian-American, Mexicans born in the USA will be Mexican-Americans. Blacks will be African American. The real Americans are labeled native-American... but the Europeans-Americans like to forget where their roots cane from. Yet they label everyone else with a pretext American.
@@sederniokardia7133 I think that's a people thing; if someone is half Chinese half English in England people will see them as chines but if they were born in China they would be seen as English.

@@sederniokardia7133 I don't entirely disagree, but I do think it depends on where you come from. My family is very proud of their Irish-American and German-American heritage and identify as such, even though it's been several generations since our ancestors came over here. Certainly on a macro, national scale that is true though that whites are just American while everyone else is ___ - American.
It is literally segregation in the education system. It’s apparently okay though because it’s supposed to be good for black people. The same argument people used to use for segregation.
@@bierlichen1 Not Op, but giving a specific month to a specific ethnicity devalues their history in the other 11 months of the year. Daryl explains this in the video. The history of "american blacks" inherently singles them out of the rest of american history, when black americans are very much a part of everyday history. I'm native american so I'll elaborate that anything focusing on my ethnicity separates me from white americans, because my history is not combined with theirs.
Winston Leg-Thigh ok, first off Chinese, Hispanic, Japanese, and black peoples have objectively all been more discriminated against than Irish or Germans. Your comment is incredibly ignorant.
@Winston Leg-Thigh for the longest black history was NOT American history. They tried to suppress it and shut down all the successful that black people has done. They only maked up 15% of the population but has made a huge impact. They did not suppress Irish history or Japanese history nor where those demographics here from the very beginning of the American history. American recognizes Chinese new years.

He’s right. He’s so right. Americans are so separated. Everyone is a group rather than just being Americans.
The fact that we as a people subconsciously separate everything by race is the problem. If we get rid of the concept of race people would begin to see how separated we really still are.
@@afrigidfellow9449 Not just race, politics is also a major factor. It's stupid.
Condumb politics are stupid but necessary. For example I’m an independent so I’m not with either ideology, but that also means that as a person I have to ignore people’s political beliefs and see them as a person. Same thing with race. I’m not talking to a republican, I’m talking to a person. I’m not talking to a black person, I’m talking to a person.

I agree, but the issue is how schools teach history, it is a writing class with historical elements that are glossed over.
The education system is a joke to history and why so many Americans do not know what the Crusades were, that the Holocaust happened during WWII, or even simple geography like where China and Russia are on a map...
David H no we were taught that the crusaders were evil, we were taught about russia and china, we were taught about internment camps and holocaust
@@notoriousriot250 maybe, but not spending more than 5 min, most people dont know basic geography at all for where countries are. And due to how you are taught WWII and the Holocaust separately some people fail to realize it was even happening at the same time.
These are things that college educated doctors, nurses and english teachers do not understand.
Personally I just dislike how so many Christian's have such strong belief in a religion they do not know the history of. And how little people learn of WWII, especially WWI, and more. But I guess there isnt enough time to teach all of that when you are writing 10 page papers about it.

I'm pretty young, recently graduated from high school, and I can confirm that we already do teach about historical black people throughout the year, depending on the subject of course. When were talking about 1800s and slavery, we discuss Frederick Douglass and WB Dubois. Mid-late 1900s and were taught about Malcolm X and MLK. However, we are not taught about who made the traffic light, and why should we? We also don't learn about who made the electric-powered fan, who made the first vacuum, so I dont know if any white people made that. The only reason we know about Benjamin Franklin and his stuff is because he was a founding father, which is pretty huge.
I do agree the black history month should be removed, because we shouldn't divide ourselves anymore. American History should envelop all citizens of the US.

It just distinguished those groups more in peoples minds. Society needs to just stop showing difference that isn't there, and treat people like people. Look behind what you see. Look at the individual themselves, and judge them on their personality. Not because they're black, or white, or straight, or gay, or female, or male. People are people. Treat them like it.

At the school I teach at, there's a US History teacher that a lot of students would complain about because according to them, "all she talks about is black people." So out of curiosity, I asked her if I could see some of her old lesson plans and syllabi from past semesters, and even sat in on a couple of her classes: Turns out, what a lot of the students called "only talking about black people" was her covering the history, using the assigned textbook plus additional readings, just like any regular US History teacher, _and then she would supplement (not replace) the usual material_ by talking about how black people in America were affected during those events: Information that wasn't given in the textbooks.
The biggest irony: Of all the history teachers, she was the only one who during the spring semesters would NOT alter her curriculum during the month of February and would treat it like any other month, as opposed to the others who would ONLY talk about black history, and then go back to business as usual in March (and for those teachers, none of the shit covered in that month really counted; it was just treated as "side content" that didn't impact the overall material).
THAT'S how you do black history right. There's a certain sad hilarity that in a misguided attempt to increase awareness of black people's place and role in US history, we've essentially SEGREGATED black history into one month of the year instead of integrating it into the greater canon of American history.
Where are your likes?? Well said, very well said.
Sanguiluna for president👏🏾
I just graduated high school last year and all we did was talk about minorities primarily blacks. And if we did talk about white people it was always bad. I asked my history teacher why don't we talk about any good things white people did and she said, "because all they did were bad things" my teacher was the whitest thing I have ever seen. I was so shocked like how could you say that, imagine if she said the same thing but about black people. She wouldn't have a job for sure.
I mentioned this elsewhere but, to be the goal of history class is to answer the question, "how did we get to where we are today?" Anyone that doesn't go towards answering that pivotal question wouldn't be mentioned as they were immaterial to those events. Like or not, American history is, by and large, white man's history. The parts of history that involve black people are the ones that don't as such affect the country as a whole but black people (Slavery and Civil Rights). By and large, the only real times I would even mention black people separate from America is during the Civil War period (both leading up and post) and then the Civil Rights Era. Everything else, it's white men. At least it's not the women; I'd mention them during the suffragette period and that's about it.

Caleb Huskey shit talking someone who can work 1 year and then hibernate their whole life and still be richer than you means they are doing something right.
Caleb Huskey yea if they don’t do anything immoral and use common sense I think you are a fool and jealous to shit talk someone but we got people like antifa who just protested a trash cleanup group yesterday calling them raciest so a bunch of apes in this world.
He makes a strong valid point. Unfortunately, this country is so soft now that they'll be too triggered by the title of the video to even hear him out.
Mr. Lynx you might be too quick to write off the masses. It’s true that there are those who will be outraged by it, but those are a mere few who get the attention. They aren’t the opinions of common people. It’s always the extremes that get the spotlight. People need to stop writing off everyone that disapproves of trump as a “libtard” and everyone who likes him as a white nationalist. (I’m aware you didn’t personally use those terms). There’s more in between those extremes than people acknowledge.
Steven Stotler Hey steve, Mr. Lynx might be too “triggered” to agree with ya but hell I’ll give a nod
@@mopnem Except I do agree with him. Have fun being wrong. :)
@ Mr. Lynx He is totally wrong as a black man we should have never assimilated to nothing in America history. No one should love adore or try to be in the good grace of their oppressor. So any Black person that wants to be integrated into American history is an oppressed mind like this fat fuck. So miss me with the we are the world BS.
Don't confuse "this country" with "a small group of hyper offended people"
American history is black history. American culture is black culture.
At the very beginning- “we gotta fight.” (Me) “FOR YOUR RIGHT…..TO PAAAARTYY!”

This is a guy who has de-radicalised many hardcore white supremacists and KKK members. Many of them have given their clan robes to him because he made them realise how ignorant they had been and he changed their lives. Your ignorant ass sees mr. vagina 🤦🏻♂️ People are definitely getting dumber.

The over commercializing of the month is also alarming. Walked into a Target last year and saw a black month shopping section go up in advance, as if it were Christmas merchandise. To each his own if wearing a shirt gives you a sense of belonging but if there's anything that's not about material things it'd be this.
Listening to this guy talk has given me renewed hope for humanity.
This guy looks like the black teacher from Rick and Morty

"Black history is american history"
- Morgan Freeman.
Just because a black man said something so outrageous that white people wan't to hear, doesn't make it right, what he said is completely ridiculous. The reality is the total opposite of his desire. Black people who were brought to america, were stripped of their names, language, culture, religion/god, and taken totally away from the history of themselves. Here are 30 million who don't wear their own names, they wear your names. Who don't speak their own language, they speak english which is not their language. They were never allowed their own cultural expression of Africa. Don't you realise that when you turn the people upside down and inside out, then sell them, not for a day, not for a year, but for 300 years and deny them the human right to know, to read a book, to learn, to understand. And then after 300 years of that, you allow them into churches but by then you have painted Jesus white, God white, Angels white. Then all the black people have been subjected to a white supremacy that producers a white superiority. Blacks in america will never be able to do what they need to do to be able to correct their condition, They did all this but now whites wanna talk about "American history is black history." Get the fuck outta here.
@@omen9431 You really wanna start this?
@@omen9431 black people who were brought to america? i think you misspelled "brought" with "bought"..guess who sold them off. "they wear your names" like wtf does that even mean?
@@omen9431 people like you blame ghosts of the past it happened so wtf are we going to do. Nothing the same shit we done whenever niggas die in the streets. Cuz 2 Pac said it himself "They say it's the white man I should fear, But it's my own kind doin' all the killin' here." Even Malcolm X said white liberals are the enemy but he did hold white people from all parties accountable.
@Trevor Honer You realise Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba were successfully artists during the era of apartheid?
Does that mean they weren't oppressed?
Daryl Davis is such a smart guy it's a pleasure just to listen to him.
The sad part is MLK day is also what used to be Lee-Jackson day in Virginia.
i think a point that he forgot to make is that by having a separate month, you are strengthening the divide. teaching that we are separate. it also creates a sticking point of "why do they have a month and i dont" which if you just absorbed it and taught history in general that would go away.
He covered that in the full interview. It's worth watching all 2.5 hours
well said knaea
Conversely, at this day and age, "removing" (assimilating) it would probably cause a lot of outrage. People will demand that it be reinstated and probably call people white supremacists for even suggesting that it be assimilated into american history or some other nonsense. People these days are truly deranged and don't listen to reason anymore, unfortunately.
Its kinda Ironic that youtube is recommending this to me while its black history month, and youtube has put out ads, and other media supporting it.
I feel like it was in our recommended solely because of the title having BHM in it
Hey thats true
do you disagree with him? if so may i ask why? he seems like a very reasonable person at least to me.
@@dosran5786 I don't believe anyone here is saying that they disagree agree with, but rather are complaining about UA-cam's hypocrisy and virtue signaling.

I agree with Daryl Davis on this subject.
Every month should be American History Month.
Because each month has special people in it and show the diversification all cultures who contribute to this country.
When people say that Columbus discovered America he discovered it for Europe, Africa and Asia. Before that people didn't knew there was a continent there. There where no clear regists of it nor any valid map. Yes there where rumors, but nothing more than that. After he landed there the news travelled to Europe, Asia and Africa. That's why it's considered the he discovered it with the perspective that no one in the "known world" knew about it. The rest of the world only knew what was there after and had now some maps. People try to deny this historical fact just because he was a bad person by today ethics. But that was every historical figure. Every king killed people indirectly or directly. Every person with power would violate and r**** peasents, noble men and women (but noble men would do it way more often). Everyone with some kinda of power that change history for the better or worst did those things. Including black people in the slave trades. Black people would also kill each other, r**** each other and sell their own. This was normal in the past. Understanding the historical importance of Columbus and celebrating his and other people that where with him achievement doesn't deny the fact that he was a terrible person like any other person with power. Literally every hero to every nation/ethnicity/country was a murderer that won wars and slept with any women they wanted. Doesn't deny the fact that they had some positive influence in history too. It's ok to admire Alexander the Great for his conquering skills while acknowledging that he was responsible for a mass murderer. But he was also responsible for helping and providing a better life for his own people. I've seen so many women in media and real life getting inspired by Cleopatra that was a woman that against all odds became a supreme leader in a world governed by men. She was also responsible for slavery and slave trades that covered half of Europe, southeast Asia and north Africa. She literally had slaves from 3 different continents working under her government. But no one seems to get mad at this fact when some girl says they like Cleopatra as a historical figure.
Morgan Freeman once said “you gonna relegate my history To a month?”
-Ljb04 - genius
-Ljb04 - do you guys have anyone else to quote besides Morgan Freeman?
TheQtooshy I’ve never quoted Morgan Freeman in my life, it’s great what he said I dunno why that’s a problem
-Ljb04 - You literally just did and that’s the only quote you and others can conjure up with. If y’all feel so strongly about this issue then at a least produce another black symbol to parrot.
TheQtooshy listen, if I feel like writing a fucking Morgan Freeman quote while watching the joe rogan podcast, I’ll write a Morgan Freeman quote while watching the fucking joe rogan podcast, there isn’t anything you can do about it so just shut the fuck up man 🙄
I had a black American history teacher for all of my junior year of high school, Mr. Fair, and this guy never failed to make things interesting. To this day (two years later) he is my favorite teacher I’ve ever had. He was involved with a lot of student run clubs, knew how to connect with his students, had so much energy, was liked by everyone, and he had posters across his classroom that showed he cared a lot about activism and art. Because of his passion for activism and change, Mr. Fair never sugarcoated history for us and I thank him for that. He brought to light more issues in modern day America and taught more details about history than any teacher I’d ever seen or heard of doing. Opened my eyes to a lot of shit. I was also involved in the school’s poetry club, which he supervised, and he helped make me more confident as a writer. Thanks Mr. Fair 🤘🏻💯
Beautiful story. It is great that you had such a wonderful teacher. I had to figure out all this black history shit by myself (but I am glad that I was able to do it, because many people are unable of or just not interested on it).
Is a “passion for activism” inherently a good thing?
Lucky bro opposite of me
I might have had the same teacher as you, if this was in florida
You had a good teacher. I’m out of college and just started looking up black American history on my own because teachers made it so boring it didn’t sink in or seem related to anything including modern culture.
That part about not enough productivity is why there's not a universal world wide effort to go to work 4 ten hr days. 3 days at home.
Did this guy just try to compare the guy who invented the ironing board to Ben Franklin?😭😭😂😂😂
This guy sounds like a Neil degrasse tyson who has been smoking since birth
Evan Silva 😂😂😂😂
I think he had laryngitis.
And he doesn't cut over Joe all the time.
He doesn’t sound that much like Neil tbh. He just happens to be black as well. This guy’s certainly been smokin tho
This is all you get out of this conversation dude???
He does make a really logical point. Black history in a way makes us resent each other. “Oh god.. it’s February... time to get black stuff shoved down our throats for 4 weeks.” It’s really much better to just spread it out and in a way it makes us forget about out differences, we’re learning it all blended together.
Oh wow you can't handle 28 days to celebrate Foundational Black Americans. But we have had palm colored history for 182,500 days shoved down our throats. Fuck this dude.
@@stevemangram He is complaining that it's crammed not that he can't handle 28 days. It'd be similar to how you'd complain if you had all your exams in one day.
As opposed to white stuff shoved down our throats for 11 months.
@Michael Johnson lol I think you are misguided in your approach. you are missing the point. why have 28 days to learn about black history, when it really it should be spread throughout the whole year and mixed in with the regular curriculum. watch the video again and listen to him
@Michael Johnson I think we are on the same team Michael, lol. I am not complaining about having to learn about black history, I'm just being real. That's what people say when February comes around. "Black history month, here we go." The more we try to put those types of labels on things, the more people will see the differences between white and black. And no, the 11 other months out of the year are not called white history month. That's a figment of your imagination. This tribal/team mindset is why we are still in this racial mess.
The lack of education in your own rights should've been your first warning they don't want you to know.
I’m asian and i think we need to get rid of asian heritage month. It’s dumb. Either, we’re all just americans or none of us are
Skankhunt42 is asian heritage month the same as black history month? Cause if so, absolutely. But it sounds cool to have a month dedicated to general (insert any race) heritage. A month where America (being a multicultural place) celebrates the music, dance, art, historical figures, etc of (insert x race) descent. It would also be cool if the world stopped acting like the only place music ever existed was in Europe and if the world stopped prioritizing European history over everything else, but that’s another subject for another day.
Skankhunt42 just the european-Americans are... to them you will always be Asian-American, Mexicans born in the USA will be Mexican-Americans. Blacks will be African American. The real Americans are labeled native-American... but the Europeans-Americans like to forget where their roots cane from. Yet they label everyone else with a pretext American.
I'm Asian and I forgot there was even an Asian Heritage month lmao
@@sederniokardia7133 I think that's a people thing; if someone is half Chinese half English in England people will see them as chines but if they were born in China they would be seen as English. People always find it easier to see what's different than what's similar... Mainly because it more noticeable.
@@sederniokardia7133 I don't entirely disagree, but I do think it depends on where you come from. My family is very proud of their Irish-American and German-American heritage and identify as such, even though it's been several generations since our ancestors came over here.
Certainly on a macro, national scale that is true though that whites are just American while everyone else is ___ - American.

Well heaven forbid we don’t hold the ironing board and electricity at the same level🤣🤣🤣 poor example, there’s got to be better comparisons than that.
It is literally segregation in the education system. It’s apparently okay though because it’s supposed to be good for black people. The same argument people used to use for segregation.
The way he explains it, black history month sounds like segregated history.
It basically is.
@@LordVader1094 How is it segregated history please explain.
@@bierlichen1 Not Op, but giving a specific month to a specific ethnicity devalues their history in the other 11 months of the year. Daryl explains this in the video. The history of "american blacks" inherently singles them out of the rest of american history, when black americans are very much a part of everyday history.
I'm native american so I'll elaborate that anything focusing on my ethnicity separates me from white americans, because my history is not combined with theirs.
Winston Leg-Thigh ok, first off Chinese, Hispanic, Japanese, and black peoples have objectively all been more discriminated against than Irish or Germans.
Your comment is incredibly ignorant.
@Winston Leg-Thigh for the longest black history was NOT American history. They tried to suppress it and shut down all the successful that black people has done. They only maked up 15% of the population but has made a huge impact. They did not suppress Irish history or Japanese history nor where those demographics here from the very beginning of the American history. American recognizes Chinese new years.
"Columbus is not american" Lmao, got'em.
@Fuck Google Yeah........... People's........ Tiny.............. Mind.........s
Pretty much everything they said about Colombus is retarded. Serial killer, lol. Some people are just brainwashed.
@Deependra Singh Saharan The youtuber Knowing Better has a good video about it. Basically, Colombus isn't nearly as evil as school will make you think, and was actually significantly better of a person than his subordinates who he reprimanded for their behaviour. Funny how he went from a saint to a demon when he's neither
@@joshbaino3087 no i think your thinking of Herrnan Cortes and Fransico Pizarro they were pieces of shit in my history book but nothing was really said negatively about Columbis, at least in my Irish history book
@@ikjotbillen8238 Maybe we just went to school at different times but in the past ten years Columbus is taught as a villain
