Description:
Between 1889 and 1930 there were around 3,700 known lynchings in the US. The perpetrators ranged from single people to small mobs to huge crowds of 15,000. The reasons given were broad. While most were accused of murder of rape, many were lynched for simply being rude, for arguing, for taking the wrong job or having the wrong beliefs.
Like during Holocaust, as I explored in a previous video, these were ‘ordinary men’ and women, and often even children.
And as in my exploration of the psychology of the perpetrators' Holocaust, I want to try and understand the factors that led both to the violence of lynchings, but also ask how ordinary Americans justified their racism more broadly.
I want to use lynchings to try and examine racism more broadly, taking an action, an event, and slowly zooming outwards, looking at the psychological, sociological, and historical conditions that led to it.
We’ll look at a number of what I’ll describe in as ‘justifications, rationalizations, or causes’ - to try to understand what led to violence, and how the beliefs, attitudes, and psychologies of perpetrators were produced more broadly.
We’ll look at propaganda, sexuality, scientific racism, nostalgia, economics, stereotypes, and first, the power of a feeling of defeat and victimhood, on the part of whites.

I truly appreciate the depth that you went into in this documentary. This is a truly difficult subject but it is important that it is dealt with. We do not seek punishment, as that ship has sailed long ago. If America is to survive, however, sweeping this shameful period under the rug is not the answer, but actually dealing with the mentality that produced this wickedness and allowed it to perpetuate is the work that must be done.
As much as I’m in awe at your video, it also hurts... Here in UA-cam creators like you are civilized & conscious enough to tackle such topics but during the process of creating your content you use Artistic materials as a disposable tool to add value to your own “masterpiece”. The first thing you add in your video & missing in your description & credits is [ SONATA NO. 14 IN C-CHARP MINOR AKA MOONLIGHT BY #BEETHOVEN ] I LEARNED THIS PIANO SOLO WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD 21 YEARS AGO. I’m a classically trained pianist for 25 years since I was 7 ! I’m not a “highly skilled UA-camr” to react with a video as a response to this ongoing uncivilized “TREND” All I can do is writing this comment reminding you of the importance of our classical music legacy, yes you may exploit us but at least have the decency to mention the details in your description ! It took me 6 months to master this piece it won’t take you 6 seconds to mention it .

I just can’t understand how white people act like the very next day that a law was passed that white people stopped being racist and act like it doesn’t still exist in them today and know they would freak out if their daughter or son comes home with someone black or
Has a child with one!!! White people just lie to themselves! Because as black people we know what we go thru with you people trying to get jobs from you people is like a 120 pound man up against a 220 pound football team!!! They know they don’t hire us and dam near only want to hire white men and try to hire white women to say that they are fair but that’s a lie because white women were oppressed enslaved and discriminated against like black people all the way up until today and by law up until 1964 so I don’t understand why white people just don’t live in their truth you are racist and always will be racist!

It’s crazy how America hated Hitler so bad but he literally got his playbook from what America did to us black folks
They never hated hitler for what he did/believed in lol their hatred for him only came after Germany declared war on America with Japan. People were literally protesting against the government for aiding Britain & France against Germany before PH
I seriously think about if they didn't attack america's allies, they probably would've joined them
Not at all
The only reason why Americans hated hitler was because they were afraid Germany expansion would explode so much the U.S. wouldn't be number 1
Total BS
The “protection of children and women” seems to be the go to argument for any kind of bigotry
And most of the people who hide behind the sugar-coated tripe are doing the MOST harm to the wimmens and childrenz. =_=
That's why I just wave those people off. They don't really mean it. It's a fluffer-buffer to make them seem somewhat noble, but look behind their closed doors. A horror show.
“We need to protect our children and women by killing someone elses women and children! and countless horrific atrocities that’d make the Devil shake”
I guess black children and women didn't count
Yep. They're protecting children in Florida and Texas from the gays right now.

I couldnt even watch a cat or dog being lynched. The psycological state of people who could watch a human being lynched and not even flinch should be studied for generations. To completely remove empathy and humanity from someone's psyche...It's literally like having the mind of a serial killer, except on a massive scale.

I think the fact that these people did what they did shows they weren't christians. It's a myth that you bought into that's all. You're buying into bad myths I say you get your money back
You take a people from their native country enslave them, make it illegal for them to read and write punishable by death then call him illiterate. This behavior is deranged at best.
Seems like these people were massively insecure and had nothing better to do. Imagine calling yourself a Christian and thinking you’re going to heaven while simultaneously oppressing a group of people. Like wtf?
@Yasuke happens all the time. Human minds are easily twisted.
Tiffany, what angers me to the same degree as this horrible history itself, is the amount of negroes intellectuals who sit around spinning, rationalizing or mitigating these historical facts attempting to sanitize it and make it seems to be something other than what actually is. Candace Owens, for example, will tell us not to make a big deal of it because "it was *only* a total of 122 black people that were lynched." Where from or how she came up with that exact number? But even if it was just one lynch it was one lynch too many. And paradoxically--though not surprising--the most vociferous group of people pushing back against the mere idea of *Reparation* happens to be these negroes! This is insurmountably unsettling to me.
They were already slaves
@@masterson0713 Just because someone is a slave when they come into your possession doesn’t absolve you from their sins and allow you to lynch, burn, hang, bomb, torture, and kill people as if they are animals. . .
It’s like saying Jews don’t matter because hitler wanted to exterminate them. We are all people and all bleed the same.
My mother was a Southern WASP who grew up in a small town in the Ozarks in the 30's. Though very intelligent and college educated, she was very bigoted. For some reason she was able to rationalize marrying my dad, who was half Filipino and half Jewish! Anyway, he told me that when they moved to California in the '60, they went to a department store where my mom was helped by a black saleswoman. My dad came up to find my mom literally frozen in place with horror, her arms extended and her mouth hanging open. He was so embarrassed that he grabbed her by the hand and dragged her away, later telling her to grow up and never do that again. When I was a child, she would nostalgically talk about how black people "really knew their place" in her home town. The odd thing was that my grandmother, who was born in 1897 and also a Southerner, was not bigoted! She told me that a person's character, and not their skin color, was what mattered. There's one more part of the story- though she chose to marry my dad, she seemed openly disappointed that I, who was part Filipino and Jewish, didn't look European. Especially when in my teens my hair became very curly and frizzy, probably taking after my Jewish and Filipino tribal anscestors. She said in tones of horror that I looked like "a native" and forced me to get my long hair cut and use hair straightener. When I left home I never cut it again in honor of my anscestors, and now at 62 I can practically sit on it. My boyfriend loves my "ethnic" hair.
It made sense when you said Ozarks. That area is racist af. Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado... All that shit is racist af. My wife's mom has a lake house in the Ozarks. I don't fuck with her and she don't fuck with me. I don't fuck with her bc she's not a good person. She don't fuck with me bc I'm black. Of I was the same guy in YT skin, she would LOVE me😂 Oh well🤷🏾♂️
Hey! Im curious what you think led to your moms bigotry when her own mom was accepting of everyone, so i asume she didn’t learn it from upbringing? Have you ever talked with her about it?
@@jorma8785that's an interesting question.
My own grandmother was like the OP's mom... she told me once about her favorite maid, "She was my favorite because she knew her place." Even as a child it disgusted me that she would WANT someone to be... _performatively subservient_ to her. To me it was just grotesque in general, but even moreso because for her in that time and place, her maids were so _easy_ to treat that way.
I think oftentimes these are malignant narcissists, and racism is perfect for them because skin color (and systemic racism) make racism just so damn _convenient._
Jewish ? Hmmm
@@suzbone I also think racism and narcissims have a correlation because you would think that a persons own moral compass and ethics would tell you that no human is superior to an other. But i also think that older generations just were wrongly educated and actually believed in the ”scientific and biological proof” that support racist ideology.
The most painful part of this video is the that the hate is still here today, as strong as ever in some
getting worse
True things persist across time, lies get purged eventually.
It's on both sides. Black Americans aren't the only target of racial hate.
Why wouldn't it be. You expect me to teach my children to be victims? Not happening.
@@magallanesagustin4952there is no other side, stop this both sides nonsense
The irony of leaving church and going straight to a lynch mob I’m sure was lost on them…
No irony - Christianity is an evil religion. The fact that black people have donned the racist oppressors dogma are dumb and stupid
No irony at all. Bible has no trouble with the crucifixion of the thieves on either side of Jesus or prescribing stoning for adultery. Stoning was a communal event.
@@pauleohl We’re not talking about crucifixions & thieves. We’re talking about murdering innocent people strictly based on the color of their skin. Not the most religious person, but pretty sure that’s one of God’s biggest “no no’s.”
@@Messiah_BlackGod I don’t think has any statements on racism, at least there’s nothing in the bible calling it wrong. Old Testament has a lot of stuff with God ordering genocides, but the New Testament doesn’t have anything calling racism wrong.
@@Messiah_Black "Not the most religious person, but..."
People weren't executed "strictly based on the color of the skin". They were executed because they had committed some sort of offense.
A picnic at a lynching had forever changed my attitude at how humans are. The kids smiling and playing, the parents talking and eating among a body. Many of them would have called themselves Christians too, believing that they will enter heaven in open arms. It takes a lot to make yourself believe and do something evil.
They also took photos and shared or sold them or turned them into postcards
Europeans are not Human as you can see
Little did they know that their hatred would grant them the opposite
Democrats did that
@@franklinloll2229 Aka, "They're not our kind".
My grandparents lived in Missouri and I remember as a kid my grandpa saying when he was a fire fighter, he wouldn't rush to save black people. I was shocked, it was very disturbing to me. I would say it's getting better but as a white person some of the stuff I hear is so racist that I remember how little time has passed in our country since things like segregation were normal. And now, bringing this stuff up is considered "woke" and people will say it was so long ago we should move on but those are the same people that are racist behind closed doors.
This is historical. It was routine for them to leave black people (even babies) in burning buildings. They would turn around and act like they didn't hear the crying. This still rarely happens today also.
Originally "woke" meant exactly that - being aware of societal issues. It was coined by black people only to be taken over by the people who don't want to see any issues in current society. Racial or otherwise
Same with CRT. Critical race theory - questioning societal construct of race. 1/4 black person is still considered "black" even though they're 3/4 white. It's stupid but it still influence lives of people
You are correct, people insist these are things of the past, but evil is the same as yesterday. We always have to be ready to do good. The bible even confirms it. "For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2
The Idea that you could call a human being an inherently malevolent person due to their blood, yet see no hypocrisy in burning them alive after cutting them to pieces, is an irony beyond no other.
Probably because they aren't humans. They're more closely related to orcs than anything

The sad part is that when the minority who suffers, become the majority, they behave no differently
We see this with blacks, Muslims
Blacks as majority Christians have no problem condemning unbelievers to hell
Morals, values, who they are as people does not matter - belief alone will condemn them
Just as the Jews were condemned for being Jews
Just as blacks were condemned for being black
And of course Muslims as a minority here in the west are all for equal rights for all, see people for who they are and not their religion - morals that they drop so quickly once they gain in numbers
Might Makes Right & that is the sad truth
What I find awful is even if a black man were to accept his circumstances, put on a positive attitude, and do the best he can, the racists would still commit violence towards him out of envy. How DARE a black man have self esteem!

And to think people like Ben Shapiro believe that all of this magically disappeared and we have no remnants of these issues in modern day America.
When wokeness destroys “hate symbols” (such as statues of confederate generals) they get rid of history in doing so.
oh no they definitely don’t believe that, they pretend like they don’t believe it so they don’t have to deal with the shame that comes from their ancestors being fucking monsters.
We do still have it in individuals on both sides and it's getting worse.
Its worse than that. The MAGA crowd want to ban books that even talk about these things as parts of history.
He gets paid to believe and espouse that. So of course he does.
The fact that they were accusing black men of the acts that they were actually committing against black women makes me sick. This is why we must honor our ancestors. They survived 400 years of hell for us to even be here.
Yeah I’m white I love my ancestors
Me too brother. The whole thing just a distraction. They make the average white male look responsible for everything bad on earth. Its the elite in the background who is to blame...
Because they saw black people as sub-human, so they never even considered hypocrisy. Violence against black people was seen as violence against a wild animal.
@@zanecampbell711 No one said you shouldn't. Just like you shouldn't deny your ancestors uncivilized savagery.

cognitive dissonance, psychological projection, and low self esteem are all factors in this. Insecurity and fear.
The south isn't the only place in America where segregation and Jim Crow law existed. When I was a kid, my dad was a night watchman at a concrete factory in Cincinnati, Ohio. On weekends, he would sneak me into work with him. There were white and colored only water fountains and locker room showers. This was about 1973 or 74. School desegregation bussing didn't start until about 76 or 77. It was fully implemented in Cincinnati in 1979, state wide by 1980. Racism isn't just relegated to the south. It's everywhere.
There's a bias in American history with the lynching of BM period. A vast majority of BM lynched were not BM involved with WW but BM who achieved economic success. How BM were lynched was something similar to Black Wall Street. American history completely omits that there were many black cities and towns like Tulsa that were very economically successful and independent. One by one they were all massacred. There's a saying never get your history from the people who oppressed you.
m Johnson, well said.
I went through a bunch of incidents of lynching, and honestly, economic success seems like it would vaguely reasonable, if evil, compared to the frequent reality.
Crime is committed, nearest black man apprehended and killed, case closed.
The even more fucked up part is that loads of pedophiles got away with brutal rapes and murders because they’d just pin it on the nearest black man.
Well that's true but lynching were overwhelmingly committed in the south!!!

Full disclosure, I'm a historian. Overall, this is a very good video, but it makes it sound as if this was a Southern problem alone. While the South was the bastion of hard-core racism, the Klan was very active in the North. There's an image if the Klan in this video in which banners proclaiming that this is the Muncie, Illinois chapter are prominently displayed.

In my view, its kind of an European problem. The Roman Empire - European colonialism - Hitlers fight for «lebensraum» - US world Empire. Its the mind of «I know best, I am strongest, I have rights». US once attacked black freedomfighters. Today China and any country opposing US capitalism are attacked. Due to propaganda, most americans today support a war with China, just like they once supported slavery. Nothing really change.... it just mooves to another place.
The historian Whitman recently made this same important observation about how nationwide (that us, far from exclusively Southern) US racism went in the Jim Crow period, it's in his 2017 book *Hitler's American Model: the United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law.* Thank you for the video.

My dad has personal experience with the concept of racial purity. His father was from Mississippi, and his uncles were clansmen down there. When you brought up the anecdote of the white boy sharing an apple with a black boy it reminded me of this story my dad told me about a friend he had in his neighborhood who was black, and that he would share food with him all the time thinking nothing of it. Well, it wasn’t an issue because his dad wouldn’t be home from work at least. One day his dad got home early and saw my dad sharing an ice cream cone with the boy, and naturally my dad unfortunately got beat because of that. All because of an ice cream cone. Thankfully this attitude had the opposite affect his dad wanted it to.

My roommate in college was a white supremacist from the south. I’m personally Indian American, having grown up exclusively in the north east. And until I lived with her, I truly did not know how alive racism true and fully was in this country. This history isn’t taught and I remember how she would behave if she saw a person of color walk her way. She would ban me from speaking to my parents in our room as I often would speak a mix of Hindi, Tamil and English, foreign tongues that bothered her. She banned me from bringing my friends (many of whom were nonwhite) as she was afraid they’d “dirty the place”. She’d rant and rave over affirmative action, over feeling unsafe passing black classmates in the engineering department. And I remember one day, I opened up to someone about her treatment, how she would force me to clean after her as “that’s what you people do”, how she would kick me out for engaging with my culture, or my friends, or doing anything that disturbed her sensitivities, about how she used to call different revolutionary figures dirty names, and how this girl used to throw her underwear at me when drunk because I should be cleaning after her… well one of her friends on campus found out and told her. That’s when my true nightmare began.
She began a campaign of trying to get me kicked out of the dorm for informing on her. She lied that I threatened her and was scary and aggressive (she had physically pushed me at a point to where I dislocated my shoulder… who was the aggressor here?). And her family came from money in the south. With a $100K check, I was made to lose my dorm room and for 3 months, I slept on people’s floors until my university realized I was building bad press against them and was finally given a room. In those months, I’d starved, been hungry, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t focus. All I did was try to survive.
White supremacy never died. It never ended. They will never learn because they see the rest of us as nothing.
It’s terrifying how much you can hurt somebody by just deliberately making shit up about them. I cannot imagine my existence being politicised and seen as inherently lesser 😞

I hate that they target anyone and everyone outside of a small box they seem to be right or good or “correct”

Scariest part is that these atrocities were carried out by Christians. Even right after church service....
they weren’t true christian’s
That's really not surprising. Christians have committed violence for centuries, especially toward each other. It is odd that the violence in this case was racist though, seeing as Christianity is a very antiracist religion despite being regressive in terms of gender and sexuality.
nothing more dangerous than christian love
Jesus once warned of the hypocrite. Matthew 23:27: “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.”
Yeah and people wonder why I as a black woman do not subscribe to Christianity. But the funny thing is white people have been understanding as to why I feel the way that I do. Versus the black people in my life be it family or friends. They have called me the devil, wicked or evil. The irony!
I am disabled and have been digging into history with the extra time I have now. This... is gut wrenching.
How do we, as community, heal from these horrific acts?? How do we ever atone for the sins of someone elses father????
I feel the pain trickling through the generations and have no idea how to help any of this. 😔😔
Reparations
from what i can glean from black voices, the best thing we can do as white people is call out our white peers when they perpetuate subtle (or overt) racism. fight it in your friends, family, anyone who will take you seriously. protest when you can and how you can. dismantle your own racism. read as much as you can. it makes a difference

slavery was never abolished. it was simply limited to punishment of crime.
Not even that. There were towns were it was illegal for anyone who was not propertied to be unemployed. And your employer could force you to stay employed with him. You could run away to another town, but it was hardly freedom.
limited? what about prohibition? the war on drugs as if its not a war on things that hurt people. It sucks but the war on drugs is being paid for with opioid abuse. its an escape for people

I lived in one of the counties were one of last REPORTED mass lynchings happened, a family was murdered and the woman who was pregnant was massacred and her belly was specifically targeted, some of my classmates were the grandchildren of the people who did this and they were not allowed to talk about the subject at all. These are the people that are complaining about CTR, they want to hide what they did. I had classmates less than 5 years ago say that someone was a “n--er lover” for saying something positive about a black classmate. I also want to emphasize that I still hear TO THIS DAY of black people “mysteriously” going missing and then their bodies showing up hanging from trees. Ahmaud Arbery was murdered with this sentiment too it was just caught on camera. Police do little to nothing to investigate this because they themselves believe in the racist rhetoric that is extremely prevalent in all of the states but definitely the south. This shit has never stopped it’s just hidden a lot more.

Never forget the victims of this domestic terrorism. They were people too. They were people's sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, grandmothers, etc. They should never be forgotten.
Domestic terrorism is EXACTLY what it is.
The word "Terrorism" needs to b used a lot wen describing racial violence.
It’s not just the acts of the past. Every one of the 3000+ lynched people had friends, relatives, children, family, neighbors and every one of their descendent’s is living with the trauma today as well as current day racism.
white people were lynched too, you know that right?
I just finished watching Till which is abt Emmet Till, young boy who was brutally lynched when he went to Mississippi, and Congress just in the March 2022 passed a new act named after him that makes lynching a punishable hate crime, of course there was previous anti hate crime legislation and he was well known for being a catalyst for civil rights but it’s crazy it took that long to be specifically outlawed to me.
More white people were lynched
The thing that causes me to be taken back a little is that many young black people have no idea about any of this, and many don't really care all that much. Met a 19 year old black girl at the apartments I used to manage when she moved in, out on her own for the first time. We've become close friends for the last year and a half. She has no idea about any of this, nor seems too concerned about knowing her ancestors history and what they went through. Maybe it's for the better, in the end, considering we can't change what's been done, we can only keep focus on moving forward

I remember first learning about the Civil Rights movement (and racism in general) in 2nd Grade. I was never exposed to any racism at all up to that point and as a kid I remember being enamored with other kids who were black. I wasn't afraid or hateful I was curious. I remember being blown away at learning that ADULTS bullied and teased black folk nevermind EXECUTE them in full view of the neighborhood just because of the color of their skin.
It blew my mind then, it blows my mind now.
As an American, and especially a southerner, I cannot even begin to articulate my shame, disgust, and hatred for the people of this region who did this to other human beings. Not just doing it, but taking joy in it. It fills me with a feeling beyond rage
This is a valid feeling. And exactly why people like governor DeSantis wants to ban this kind of conversation. To help it perpetuate by denying an uncomfortable crucial analysis to eliminate it.
As someone who grew up in the south, its scary just how normal it felt being raised with actual racists in my life, to just pick up those same beliefs as a child and maintain the status quo.

exactly like how tf is there racism in these comments?? I thought the point of the video was that racism was horrible why are we still doing that? of course, none of them will admit they’re racist out loud anymore, but we all know what’s going on.
i grew up as a minority in a mostly white school. this really shaped my perspective when learning about the jim crow and civil rights eras in 2nd grade, although i am not black. as a child, i had no mature concept of race, but i did experience being treated differently whether during art projects or kids pointing out how i was different than them. it drove me mad. how could humans do this to each other? i thought as i paced back and forth with immense anxiety in the hallways of my school in 4th grade during a video on mlkj's childhood. how can my teacher just speak so nonchalantly about such horrific events? i tried to wait until the video was over to go back because i knew if i went back in, i would just be haunted by the white faces in the room that robotically stared at the screen like it was nothing. this was in like, 2004. i had many nightmares, and was tortured by not the ideology itself, but by the reactions of people. i avoided literally anything about race. including movies and tv shows that played during black history month. one time my sister was watching one and i covered my ears in another room the entire episode. it ultimately led to my self hatred in middle and high school, where i actively ignored, ran away from, and avoided any poc who came to me. my parents are white, so its not like i could talk to them about it, as i was even a minority in my own family. i just feel like if i had someone to sit me down and expand on whitewashed versions of the history i learned, it would've helped alleviate some of the trauma. now as an adult, i actively do the opposite of what i did as a child. i actively search for information about race, i openly discuss it with people, and i strive to educate others about it. the reason i did a 360 is simple. i met and befriended other people of color and talked about my experiences, and representation became better in media. without the exposure and representation i gained i would've stayed the naive child i always was. without moving away from my childhood town, i would've probably been destroyed by trauma. white people here in the midwest hate talking about race and thats why theyre so ignorant about it. but it doesnt affect them because they are the winners in that history, so they ultimately dont care. this leads to black and indigenous people that live here to accept lies about their own history. i accepted many lies of my own history as well. if white people were open to talking about it more, they would learn so much. i majored in sociology and anthropology because learning about the theoretical frameworks of race in academic terms positions the topic in social context, rather than centered in my emotions. now the "edge" of fear that existed is gone and i have a more complex understanding of why society accepts these things.
I feel like your story shapes the other end of my experience as a white person. I live in Switzerland and my father is a racist and a far right conservative. I grew up very sheltered from the realities of slavery and racism, because we were told that it has happened in the past, black people were liberated over 100 years ago and have no reason to still struggle with unstable governments. The first time I had a black classmate was when I was 13, and because I was someone who was raised in an abusive household and only got a disgnosis for her ADHD after moving out, I was the weird girl in the class, though not the ugly one (but that in a way paved the way for people to think this girl looks nice she is probably normal and not a neurodivergent abused mess) so the circumstances led more to the black girl targeting me, because she was actually quite populat in our classroom. I never connected that she maybe did that because picking another target would maybe get people off her back, but I can only speculate that that was likely the case.
So the thing is that, because I was sk sheltered I literally thought that racism was done with. Society has moved on and we trest everyone the same, and for that reason, I feel like I didn't actually think there is a difference between white and black people. I don't recognize colour as an important factor to a person, because what matters more is the story of their life that made them. That ignorance is a bliss in that sense. I definitely have some internalised racism in me aswell from that, that I even to this day have yet to discover and put into perspective.
What changed my course was, when my sister decided to work in Ghana as a teacher for half a year and returned to tell us just how beautiful the place is and she fell in love with the country. In order to keep up with her, I also had to start reading about the place and I one day decided to visit Ghana with her, while I simultaneously decided to read a history magazine (Geo Epoche, it's german and I wish it had english versions for me to share with people). The introduction reads that we nowadays look at Africa as a puzzling place, we do know that slavery happened, but we struggle to explain how they still struggle with corruption, finances, systems etc. this magazine tries to read explore the history of the traumatised continent that is Africa.
So during my journey through Ghana, I met just so many kind people and read the first pages sbout the colourful cultures in Africa, and I was happy to also see that represented in my surroundings. Then they started zooming in on the first people that arrived and struggled to even make it far into the land, and how people died from disesases and the heat. It took europeans a long time to actually "arrive".
At this point My sister urged me to go to the Elmina castle, which is a former "goldmine" of the portugese, but became a slavery marketplace, and a guide explained how over the span of 400 years, people went from trading gold and other goods, to selling slaves snd then tried to make that profitable, and eventually make it so efficient that they kept people in tiny spaces, gave them the minimum amount of food snd water and shipped them like animals across the waters to be sold for profit. The process of robbing the black person of their humanity took us white people several years, each generation was out to do more efficient trades and make more profit than the last one.
I really came out of this place so hit by reality and disgusted with my own rationalising of the past and how I was not even the worst person I have met, that was justifying such a past.
I was outside of the castle still meeting people that were all just so kind and I was just thinking "how can you be so nice, when you know what the people of my colour have done to you? How are you still so willing to give me a chance when you have every reason to act like we're horrible people and go ahead to avoid us like a plague to protect yourselves?" I continued my read in the magazine about priests that bragged about converting people or slaughtering them, and I met people in Ghana still that shared their own wisdom with me, taught me how to do things and it just made me realize a cognitive dissonance in everything around me and in me. I sometimes wish I could have remained ignorant because I can no longer pretend all is fine. We spent 400 years traumatising and exploiting a full continent, and even to this day are not interested in returning any of the goods or even apologise for what we did. On top of it all, our media still presents Africa as a place of poverty so little of significance we forget it's a continent at all, and while treating people of colour the way we do.
I am sorry for it all.
On another note, I have to say that I myself am not white as I said in the beginning. I'm actually half taiwanese because my dad is the type that went to work in asia 40 years ago and married a taiwanese woman and I and my older sister are a product of that.
But I look white and I was raised white. The abuse I experienced by that man is mirrored by how he treats my mother.
It would be easy to pretend history away...go back to act like colour does not matter, but it does, nor because I think less of people of colour (really my experience was shaped my how all were mostly kind and fun, despite the history both of us carry), but by realizing what my colour says about me.
It says that you have reason to be scared that I will use it as an advantsge, that I in society people treat me differently from you.
I will try for my lifetime to make up for the things we have done, but I will live for 60+ years and it will never be anything compated to400 years of several people being lost in that genocide.
I want to apologise for what was, and say that I admire how people were willing to forgive and give us a chance to oftentimes prove that racism still exists. I don't know if I could be so forgiving.
@@corneliahanimann2173 young lady, I can appreciate your journey and the fact that you've recently discovered a reality that was both amazing and terrifying at the same time. I'm a black american who was raised in a middle-class household, both parents whom are still married, two brothers and one sister, and countless neighbors and friends in my early childhood. I went to school with mostly white students, and had many white friends. Race issues were not evident to me until several of my black associates, including cousins and schoolmates, ridiculed me of "talking white," because my father and mother ensured that our vocabulary was advanced and polished enough to be able to have conversations and interactions "from the executive office to the gutter," as my father so profoundly put it. Being ridiculed by so-called "my people" caused me to grow resentment, among other factors I had no control of. I never had a big circle of friends, and the ones I had were white and black. As I grew older and experienced life, I found that there are so many people who are so emotionally charged and driven, that logic has no place in their experiences. I've been called the n-word by blacks, whites, latinos, and asians. I've taken the sting out of that word because the meaning is dumb or foolish, so the persona of the word as characterized by those driven to direct it at me because of their emotions doesn't cause me any level of harm or concern. A few times, I've laughed and called them the n-word in return, and was amused by the look of shock on their faces... but the self control to rise above the insignificant and ignorant things is something I consider a gift. A wise person told me "choose your battles CAREFULLY; life's full of them as it is..." I charge you, Ms. Cornelia Hanimann, to wean yourself off of feeling any sense of responsibility, sorrow, or remorse for the crimes against humanity and atrocities committed against blacks as a whole, and instead, do your best to make as positive an impact on as many lives as you encounter. The only life you can control is yours, but the power you have to positively influence and impact those around you can be as immense as you wish! I wish you and your sister success, peace, and longevity!
What a Beautiful person you seem to be. In Malcolm X's autobiography, he mentions speaking at college and after his speech, a young college girl came up to him and said she was soo sorry about slavery. She was white. He said she asked him what SHE could do to help matters. He said he saw the sincerity in her. He said it was one of the few times that he was rendered speechless. After a few minutes, he told her to just try to help people when she could. After that he went to Mecca and saw people of ALL colors shapes and sizes praying to the SAME GOD! He realized then that just like MLK. said(people should be judged by CHARACTER and Not skin color. He realized that the Devil comes in ALeeL colors shapes and sizes! YOU are not to blame for History. YOU were not THERE! Let's maybe just try to help the best that we can, RIGHT NOW! IT kind of makes me sad to think that OTHER people feel as you felt. Someone keeps bringing this OLD STUFF UP! Some SAD ass people that try to manipulate people by using GUILT! F THEM! I am a BLACK man. Best of ALL to YOU!
Ps: The first man to sell a black man was ANOTHER black man, the first man to sell a white man was ANOTHER White man. First murder? A man killed his own brother. To me, not much has changed. It's just www. Cain and Abel. com. That's ALL.

@@franklinloll2229 aka modern day Republicans. But let’s not act like it wasn’t white people from both sides.
I’m glad that such a brief summary exists to educate people who are far too many that don’t know these things. It was painful and goddamn atrocious to watch this. But I shared it. And look forward to doing so more in the future. This is important and should be explained more to everyone in this country. EVERY ONE!!!!
thank you for covering such an important topic in history. it is so important never to forget history and in this specifically to remember the reality of how this country came to be. if history is forgotten it is doomed to repeat itself.
It's disgusting that there Americans that celebrate this barbaric behavior.

This is a terrific, high quality video. Thank you for making it.
This is such a fantastic video. I do wish you had gone into some of Ida B Wells’ research about the reasoning given for lynchings. Her research showed that contrary to the popular narrative of lynchings being a direct consequence of rape of white women, they were either random or largely due to petty theft or even loitering. Her research really helped begin to change the view and use of lynching in the 20th century.
That hate for sure still exists in the descendants of these people. It is not possible for that to be completely gone in less than a couple generations.
Especially, when they refuse to acknowledge that it even exists.
I agree, people have to raise the youth to not follow that way of thinking. Otherwise they just pass down hatred.
And some white people hate racism and injustice with all their might.
Hate comes in many forms, racism is only one of them. Using resentment against, or demonizing, a particular group of humanity can turn out badly, please see history: Jews, Catholics, Muslims, etc…
@@elainehiggins713 / and Ukrainians !
I'm still early in the vid, but I want to make one correction: the 13 Admendment don't completely abolish slavery. It still allows forced labor in the prison system, which has been a form of slavery used for decades since the 13th amendment
Correct. If a person has been convicted by a court of law and is imprisoned for a term of years to a prison, the 13th amendment permits the prison to use the prisoner's labor without paying him. Some states, like CA, pay their prisoners who labor a nominal wage. Others, like AL - do not.
Slavery is not one thing. I could argue that wage slaves are in fact slaves, or that inmates in AL are slaves, but frankly - neither of those examples rise to the level of inhumanity found in 19th century American chattel slavery.
@@romanmanner
You might want to look into the convict leasing system, if you haven't. It was used to take the place of chattel slavery, to a degree.☹️
@@romanmanner I believe that all three types are abhorrent human conditions. Comparing atrocities solves nothing and comparing status quo to worse times in the past generates stagnation and/or regression.
It's like Doug Stanhope said: Your suck doesn't make my suck, suck less.
My neighbor being morbidly obese doesn't change the fact that my extra five pounds makes my belt too tight. I have that problem regardless. But I can compare myself to him and feel an unearned sense of accomplishment by default, _or_ I can stick to comparing me to a personal ideal of myself in the future.
One makes me complacent, the other sends me to the gym.
This.
To anyone (especially living in the US) I highly suggest researching how police departments came to be.
Yes but it did abolish traditional chattel slavery. Prison slavery is different but still awful
Thank you for this video and all the research you put into this.
This is the most pronounced documentary on racism in America l have ever listened to. This documentary has been extremely informative. This article has afforded those who experienced these past experiences a vision why the south has and it’s present actions, practices and beliefs.
This was extremely hard to watch. I'm so sorry to all of those who died in this way...I hope they rest peacefully.
i'm very spiritual, the bill come due sooner than later. That's just how things work and I can already see the signs.
It's not really that hard when you realise, most of our history has been atrocity after atrocity.
Fear. Chicken-hearted fear caused the perpetuation of these acts against the victims. In the course of human nature, on both sides of the issue, it is what it is, and happened just as should have when people cower instead of fighting.

Im not an American and it’s a bit hard for me to imagine living with this sort of history behind your society only so recently and live harmoniously with with the other group.
The fact that so many turn a blind eye to it being a terrible injustice and in some cases actually justifying the fact that it happened makes one ashamed and embarrassed to say they're from America. We have made progress but we have a long way to go.
It's not so harmonious, bad things still happen everyday from this legacy of ours

OMY lord such inhumanity!! It’s soooooo heartbreaking what my ancestors endured…… all people MUST know all AMERICAN HISTORY !!! 👆🏾
Sadly they ban books with the facts, in favor of oil and gas induced curriculum instead..
I've been thinking about the psychological effects of dividing people by white and black. I'm very proud to be of mixed heritage and always have been but regardless of the fact that my dad looks like Will Smith, speaks fluent Spanish, has a black afro; I'm extremely light-skinned esp if I'm not constantly outdoors so I am still thought of as "white" by the world around me. That means answering things like "ethnicity" on a form with "white" which is just the color of a dang crayon not a heritage.
I was learning about Bacons Rebellion and it's aftermath including the entering of the words "white and black" into the creation of the laws that separated us by "race". I was thinking about that experience and it got me thinking of the Stanford prison experiment and the consequential studies on it. What we can learn from that is that the introduction of a single word such as "prisoner" or "guard" can majorly impact a person's behavior. It can also seriously impact the way people look at you when you have that lable put on you. When I was 5 and the only light skinned kid on my block in a Hispanic neighborhood (I'm part El Salvidorian mind you) when I had my cat drowned in front of me and the other kids gathered to throw stones at me sending me to the hospital. Because I was "white". These ideas like "black" and "white" are extremely damaging to everyone who thinks in these terms and even when you don't think in that way you can still be tremendously impacted by the world holding these ideas.
I have come to the conclusion that this is a result of a brainwashed society. We still actively engage in this kind of brainwashing every day and it is extremely difficult to disentangle ourselves from it. I just want to remind everyone as we look at the most grusome things in our past and present that we are one race. The Human Race. Unfortunately we are a very poorly behaved species and a very easily manipulated one. Bless Y'all and love one another as best you can.
Edit: Another note I think is interesting is that with the invention of racially based slavery the 1% rulers also invented the "white middle class". Before this time the majority of the people here were indentured servants of mixed heritage. We all toiled together in the same bottom class. With the new race laws, it was like suddenly seeing the floor drop out from under you and half your friends and even family members in many cases thrown into a newly created basement level class you didn't know could exist and the only thing keeping you out of it is the idea that your skin color matters. As a white woman by law if you had produced offspring with a black man (even a freedman with land) not only was your baby taken and sold you could be too. Think about what that does to you mentally. Add a few generations and you have a lot of people saying that thing I know you all hear and we all laugh at cuz it sounds so dumb " we have to protect white women from black men". Now that the mentallity is solidified several generations in, imagine suddenly that that bottom class dissapears and bottom of that social pit is getting closer to you. The middle class suddenly became the bottom class again only this time they were used to being in the middle as the "guard" role so they found new ways to enforce the guard role. I don't think it's shocking at all that these people did everything they could to escape the idea that they were down at the bottom because they have associated the bottom with that pit of dispair that was slavery. They have been brainwashed to associate class level with "race" and by removing the boundaries between ourselves they panic. I think they feel like the floor is rushing at them.
Mind you I'm not forgiving people for doing this shit this is evil as F. I'm just trying to understand Why. Why when Jesus says "Love the stranger as you love your neighbor" and "you are all one under god' can people go straight from that (or even within that) to lynching people for things like "race" or even "gender". It's scary stuff and something we all need to watch out for in ourselves when we engage with the world around us.

this is what Republicans don't want their children and grandchildren to learn about In school. our not so long ago past was truly savage and barbaric
Do you know that the Democrats are the once’s that started the KKK? it was White people in general!!!
Democrats have been actively engaged in an ethnic cleansing and genocide of the black community for ages. They enslaved the black man for decades, they created the KKK to terrorize and coerce the black community into submission, wrote/passed/enforced racist Jim Crow laws to segregate, prejudice, persecute and dehumanize the black community for additional decades, lynched both black and white Republicans for helping black people to obtain their rights, HEAVILY resisted the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960s, passed the Open Society Act which destroyed the black family pimping black women into welfare dependent baby-mommas and then passed racist drug laws throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The racist white supremacist Democrat KKK slave master party has decimated the black community and has shoved satanic and demonic ideologies down the throats of the black man and woman such as the victim complex which seeks to make black men and women into dumbed-down, lazy, dependent, ignorant, ungrateful substandard to mediocre voting slaves and the gender confusion of the transgender cabal. All of which is designed to keep black people from excelling and achieving their goals and dreams and creating godly, Christ-like families. The Democrats have turned black people into hateful, vengeful radical activists to destroy the American population. The democrats have no room or moral authority to advocate for a racial community that they are guilty of erasing by encouraging and legalizing the abortions of 30 million unborn black babies. The black community has stagnated at 13% of the American population for decades due to such radical and racist policies. It is literally in the Democrat DNA to enslave and subjugate the black man and woman, reversely it is in the Republican DNA to liberate and magnify the black community.
This level of detail about slavery and racism isn't taught in school. The truth is, they don't want slavery mentioned.

Instead of trying to sincerely and honestly repent of their political, civil and moral sins, they are trying to use ungodly, satanic and demonic ideologies to sweep their filth, their cobwebs and skeletons under the carpet. Instead of making a contrite and substantial apology for their inhumane treatment of minorities, offering to make restitution out of the Democrat party's coffers and political funds for slave reparations, coming to terms with the fact that their party's brand has such a notorious stain to the point of disbanding and dissolving altogether and to make and keep promises to root out racism, they push this bullshit marxist critical race theory to the point where it further divides the American population. Innocent, non-racist Republicans and Independents have no need to allow crt in their lives and in the lives of their children. Godly repentance is sufficient for Republicans and Independents to root out sin wherever it is found in their hearts and minds, not satanic forms of mind and behavioral control mechanisms. The racist leftist Democrat jackass party has a long way in trying to salvage their evil reputation as slave masters and tyrannical dictators. One of the best ways to build up the black community is to get a divorce from the racist Democrat jackass party. Trillions of dollars and decades of a sick allegiance to the Democrats have done absolute damage and destruction to the black community. After all that the Republicans have done to liberate the black man and woman from the vile clutches of the racist Democrat jackass party and for the black community to swear allegiance to their prior slave masters is just sick and wrong. I don't care if you all go join a third party or go back to the Republican party, you must divorce the Democrats who have done nothing for you all but ride you for votes and money. The Democrats have done nothing but keep you all in their inner city plantations and abuse you physically, emotionally, mentally, economically, electorally and spiritually.
We can never be quiet about this horrible history and atrocities perpetrated upon our ancestors!
How is it possible to watch someone burning to death and not be horrified? Yet clearly, there are many people who can do it and not only not be horrified but actually enjoy it. Like someone said below, these people are all around us, from ordinary working people to people in positions of power. It's sobering how much psychopathy exists. Look at those crowds attending the lynchings. I can't imagine humans have outgrown these tendencies in just a few generations.
White people
They are convinced from a young age that this is normal, that they deserve it, and that they are subhuman anyway so it's fine. Children are very impressionable and what seems like minor things in their childhood can have a huge impact for the rest of their lives.
It’s not hard humans have abused each other’s for ever science suggests that being overwhelmed and disgusted by horrors is more recent in modern times and it is considered unnatural and defective in fact I wonder how is it possible to be horrified by things that have happened for ever

We cannot avoid genocide or evil if we other it. Ordinary people committed the gravest sins of history. Only if we remember that we are all capable of it. Can we hope to try and avoid it.
Hell yeah! This guy gets it!
Thank you for your research & presentation, it is greatly appreciated
I met a girl who saw the lynching that took place in the small coastal town of Bahia, Brazil. The population invaded the prison and dragged through the streets of the city two prisoners who had killed a couple. The two prisoners were beaten and burned alive. The girl was 10 years old and ran away from home to go see what was going on. In the months that followed, the girl started having nightmares and reliving the scenes of ultra violence she witnessed. Whenever the mother did laundry, the girl would become extremely depressed and cry. With delicacy and care, the mother discovered that when smelling the coconut soap she used to wash clothes, the girl immediately remembered the smell of the poor guys burning. This happened many years ago. But I assume that girl will carry the trauma her whole life. Ultra violence deeply marks the victim, curses the perpetrator by forcing him to live intimately with a criminal and traumatizes those who witness it. This does not fail to occur even when the violence is racially or religiously motivated.
We were dehumanized so much. And people think that we’re sensitive about our image when it was tarnished from the beginning. I mean how could anyone think that we’re overreacting about anything when this is what like was like for us barely 70 years ago. And there’s still people who think this shit.
All over social media like Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, tiktok and even here on UA-cam, there's extreme anti black american sentiment. Even from Africans and POC

The Sam Hose events actually happened in my hometown, on my high school's campus where the Cranford home used to be. I just did a project for it for my AP Lang class, and let me tell you it is just as gruesome as described in the video. Events like these are so crazy and seem so fictional, it's absolutely unreal until you realize what horrific events had happened right over where you might be eating lunch. We even have a rumor that if you're at school early enough Sunday in the morning, you can smell eggs and bacon being cooked by the maid.
I go to Northgate currently!! I only recently found out abt this from my teacher at CeC and I’ve heard the rumors but never knew the story of Sam Hose or the graveyard till recently. Its so weird to think of all the coverups they do down here around racism because of stupidity from parents.
Here in northern Delaware, there was a similar incident in 1902 in a Wilmington locale called "Prices Corner." Today it is simply the location of a small shopping center, and many probably do not know of the horrible crime that took place on that very same area of land. I stumbled across the story in a small-circulation booklet I found in a local library. It was horrifying.
Are the identities known of the people who lynched Sam Hose?
this is what should be taught in history class...
i feel nothing but anger and immense sadness....
They won't teach it because there's a fear that black people in America will revenge.
