Hosted by Ossie Davis, this 1965 educational film "Heritage of the Negro" was made by the National Educational Television and Radio Center. The film is part of a series called "History of the Negro People." This episode challenges Eurocentric accounts of African history. While the film features many outdated ideas and terms, and contains racist imagery of Black people, these images and terms are used as examples of harmful stereotypes that suppress the richness of African-descended people and their histories. The film is split between documenting the lived experiences of African Americans, critiquing the use of the word “negro”, and educating about the history of Africa.

I remember on an avant-garde episode of *Happy Days*, Richie Cunningham told his dad, "They prefer to be called Negroes." This term was "respectable and proper" for the time. The show probably aired in the late 70's, but of course taking place in the 50s.
My friend has Negro on his birth certificate 😮😢😮
I can tell youtube is going to take this down lmao
well it’s been a year 🤨
In Spanish it means black.
Big brain moment there.

The word "N****r is of Yiddish origins... no joke!
I was pleasantly surprised by the honesty of this.
Looking at Ossie in a 1965 doc tells me he aged very well.
If you put down your gun. And pick up a book. Then and only then can we be on the same page...
Put down the blunt and the 40.
Unfortunately, there are more guns than books available these days. 🙁
Nah. Unlike you, I can use both because I have two hands.
This is still relavent in 2022
The vast ignorance is of the origin of the word, which in Spanish means black. When you're in a country where everybody is black, of course the word is insignificant.
And Portuguese.
In New York, it was seen on WNDT {now WNET}.
We were AFRICAN first because under the more than 400 years of the institution of slavery in America we were not considered human and when we emancipated ourselves were not American citizens under the law😢
Wow, 1940s we wuz kangs. Always trying to steal someone else's culture.
Does anyone know what context or setting this video was shown?
Television is mentioned at the very end of the video.
NET, the direct predecessor of PBS has its titles at the very beginning of the film . It could have been shown there or paid for by them
Nothing changed from that time to now...
It means "dark". I'm sure there's a name for "light" or "fair" skinned people in Africa, and elsewhere.
I wonder what racist term black nationalists in SA have for White people this week?
Tourist/bait.
The deep need to have a heritage, culture that is associated with your genetics is stunning. But when others ostracize you you try to find your own.
Then 50 years later try to erase someone else's, and ostracize them.
These Mulato spokesmen make some good points...
My mom is white like me and she went to a mostly black school, she was one of few white students, never bothered her. One thing people should know is since the invention of the motion picture, movies, media, and music, they have always been a tool for social engineering...
I might mistake, but word "negro" was used 44 times in this 29 minute video. Wow. This youtube channel does not stop to amaze me.
What do you mean?
So, there has been many terms coined as being preferred or politically correct over the years I have roamed the surface of this planet..."colored", "negro", "black", "African American", "people of color"...which is the latest preference or politically correct term? Just trying to stay "current".
Free speech is not free speech around the planet.
Afro American
R.I.P to the great Ossie Davis. His role as JFK in Bubba Ho-Tep is still one of my all time favorite things ever.
A wiggling of the body is the most any European can achieve. That's my new excuse.
A mud hut is the most any African can achieve. 😏😉😜
Undermining a Western culture that brought down slavery is the most any African can achieve.
And not one advertisement... damn UA-cam your slipping..
Really utube allows this but I have to watch my comments??????. Allows judgement calls like this , is this not racist??? Wow let's see something like this about Spanish / Mexicans and other Latin back rounds?? Let's show something about the Germans, Italians ,Islanders, Chinese Japanese,and all the other Nationalities!!! ,,,,,,,, Still waiting !!!!
Annnnd, JOHANNESBURG!
School is the issue.
Too bad us blacks are our own worst enemies. Rap music killed us -
Bullshit the nazi not rap music
oh it's more than just rap my friend! it's the complete urban culture too, you're leaving out the effects that gangsta movies and the drug culture has had on fatherless boys the listening to con artist's like jessie jackoff and sharpton on one's self reliance and all of it comes from the effects of the demon rat's warping of welfare programs have had on personal responsibility in your people!! rap is merely a minor part of it!
@@TugIronChief show me good nazi
True
Along with the Democratic Party!
All I know is "they" built Western civilization and have a rich and valuable culture...according to them.
That's not true. Not in any sense of true factual history, but as you said "according to them".

According to them, they were Mozart, Caesar, and Leprechauns, built the Great Wall and the Pyramids, and invented everything including peanut butter. And if you disagree with them you will lose your job.

Most mammals do "bleed red". That doesn't mean that a man and a mouse are siblings.

Looks like someone commented before watching
Troublemakers?
That's a weird slant. Elaborate on that?

@@keithmoore5306 That's cuz "home-made' is a left-wing fascist clown who's only contribution in a debate is to stamp his left-wing fascist feet like a baby, and shout down anyone who disagrees.
There's no actual work involved in being a left-wing fascist clown.
Can anyone reading this comment point to single nation on the african continent where blacks
"ALONE" (no outside help from Whites or any other race) built up a civilization (government, infrastructure, etc.) from the ground up that is both prosperous and at peace? Note: south africa can't be used because whites were involved in that nation.
Keep in mind the majority of the worlds diamonds comes from africa. Also africa has one of the largest gold deposits on the planet. Why is it when I look at the african continent, on a whole, where blacks are the majority race that the people look like they are living in the stone age, living in grass and straw huts while "their" continent is sitting on so much great wealth?
Be careful. Europe got civilised from the middle east.
So as a Austrian/Hungarian (German)- American how should I feel. Oi. Oi Oi Rude boys.
Proud of your master race.
Really, you have citizenship in all of those countries? Or is it just that almost exclusively stupid American practice of prefixing your only nationality with that of other nations, as if it has any meaning. I don't go running around calling myself an Irish Gaelic Egyptian viking, just because it makes up my lineage.
@@skateboardingjesus4006 oh great and now a Gen z pops up. Enlighten me on your knowledge of the said documentry or STFU.
@MusicMaster1987 Nope, unless you're referring to yourself?
Just more whining
How many Caucasian could survive one year? Hence South Africa.
And, when the "Caucasians" LEAVE Africa, everything breaks-down, and the Blake Africans beg to have them come back and fix things..... 😏😉😜
@@johnharrison6745 And again you are right.
Caucasians built South Africa. Cape Town is the oldest city in SA. The Khosians were migratory and built nothing. The Bantu peoples came into SA as invaders much later. Of course no one wants to hear the truth.
@@lookoutforchris yep...and the truth is worse than the documentary.
are negros the same in africa? well let's see Detroit vs the congo killago vs angola oakland vs sierra leone compton vs rwanda? you tell me!!!!!

*Our Story*
I know there's a seed planted deep in our souls,
In this moment birth'writes a concept that grows.
An innocent child becomes easily shaped;
Modeled by their parents formed by their state !
A state not reality but a state in their mind !
Molded by the knowledge of his'story left behind.
In the seed is a life, the implanting not nature.
Nutured by past seams the present with future.
A foundation's established there's room for alot;
Lot becomes fool and full boundaries we got !
A line was then drawn sown the letter turnt Red.
Spellings of words gives rise to the dead.
Good versus Evil as God versed the Devil;
I AM Alpha thru Omega eye balance the level.
Musically noted the letter sings to all !
Truth splits right leaves the left to the fall.
The fallen believes in loves theatrical obsession.
Turning truths into sum fanatical re'creation.
Words become lifted in conversations we raise !
Our words first spoken, celebrated with praise.
Our language as art, words expressed not spoken !
Orchestrated words instuments tarnish not broken.
A contract, a seal, a script was then cast.
In the spellings a curse with the writings of past.
These word enforced Laws this knowledge did flow,
Watered by man the plants branches did grow.
Giant limbs of long arms embrace all the living,
A word to the wise God spoke *In the beginning*
Words are indeed GOD all righteous and true !
Symbolically are crops and the harvester is you !
In every field becomes all that we know,
Our motto in life is "We reap what we sow".
Out in left field we're lost while right's hard to find !
This right way is truth bear that in mind.
The ass bore naked, abandoned alone,
buried deep in our chest creatures unknown.
On the surface we're told not to dig to deep,
For in the depths a monster is awakened from sleep !
If your a LION, they're known as King of the Beast.
While SNAKES consumes everything whole as they Feast.
Angry BULLS trample all whom they meets head on !
The OX performs labor from dusk till dawn.
Those EAGLES soars high above all the rest !
The DRAGONS spits fire which lies in their chest !
These animals are symbols that left us a clue.
In all words are life and they represent YOU.
Your life stories unique there's no other one like it.
It's the light of your life that keeps your world lit !
Understand all WORDS and what words define.
Words make-up your character and your life's storyline !
I remember watching a film in school, I was probably 3rd or 4th grade, but I remember it because it had a profound effect on how I would forever stop using the word Negro & instead use the word BLACK, as Malcom X was shown in my class saying, “don’t call us negro we did not create that name, call us BLACK because that is what we is!”
Even after the politically correct word was later changed to “African American” I refused to say or adhere to. It is far from politically correct it is segregation by calling blacks African first before acknowledging they are American. Today I don’t hear anybody but idiots still referring to black as African American. But you NEVER hear the term negro anymore. Nor the term “Oriental” a derogatory term as evil as the word Negro was, rather is. Africa is where blacks in the Americas were all kidnapped from 400 years ago. They have been on this soil, died working this soil longer than most white Americans have… let’s be real. More American than most Americans black people ARE the backbone of what built this nation which we could never repay except in equality. What is so hard about that I simply have never understood. America and the resulting culture surrounds us everywhere. If people can’t take pride in that, they don’t take pride in America. Look in this film how the white people struggle between calling blacks anything other than the obvious… black. Calling them African, negro, spitting out outrageous behavior themselves in how much they reveal their own brainwashing is quite remarkable while others tell it like it is & they too struggle by ignoring the obvious. Black! I thank God for Malcom X for setting me straight & for an all white school district not yet polluted with the racism they later became (Marysville, WA) As children we were subjected to films deemed too offensive for children today. We watched police beat the crap of blacks & the occasional white protesters, some to a bloody pulp, in black & white film, how appropriate? We watched Martin Luther king have a dream and murdered for it. We were the first children our teacher ever had where nobody in her classroom could recall the murder of JFK (we were too young I was barely 3 in 1963) the look of bewilderment or fear in our teachers eyes that we did not experience memory of this was shocking, like a bomb went off. But we all figured out why he was murdered. Because of his support for MLK & his bill for the civil rights act, by far the reason or a catalyst for the reason to kill him, let’s be real. As a child I was told black is the reason for crime, black is the reason for poverty, black is the reason for welfare which today I say white is the reason for homelessness, because blacks don’t throw away their people. White is the reason for crime because white wont give homeless any other way to live. It hasn’t been easy but no doubt the passage of the civil rights act has proved lifting blacks out from poverty simply by making them equal to whites as well as women & gays and everybody else white men have suppressed since dawn of our civilization has proved to be the best thing we have done as a society. It gives people ability to prosper, reducing crime, reducing poverty, but sadly not doing a damn thing to prevent racism, nor to prevent society to create new victims to “legally” discriminate and hate… the homeless. Everything we call them, we once called blacks. Fact is, we all created homeless & have become victims of our own stupidity, black or white we ALL allowed it to occur & need only look in the mirror to find someone to blame. It was the same thing white men had to admit to & that JFK & Lincoln were murdered for when they looked in the mirror & realized they had the power to end it, and they died trying to end hate. Well now we all, white and black, created a new hate and it is prospering in numbers. Homelessness… the new negro of today, & he be white and male. What does anybody gonna do about that? Arrest it? Murder it? Or solve it? I can’t do anymore, I am growing old. It is up to the Millennials to save us from the wrongs we couldn’t solve and the wrongs we created. It’s your planet now.
im not an american and neither am i white but why do you african americans always pretend as if you wouldve been better off in africa? (starving) you dont realise how incredibly lucky you are. I have seen people starve to death and kill each other for food in Africa. Millions of people would love to take your place and won't mind not being treated well by someone
If it's up to the millennials for your future, you are screwed. Might as well quit now and save yourself the suffering.
This a sad introspective of the 1940's 1st world perspective of our African kin.
