I’m truly moved by these testimonies... thank you!
Simon Kefas you should be Bc these type of situations still happening in the south till this day.
"This is my America too" - Damn right.
That hotel stuff was still happening in the1980's. When I was a little girl every summer my family would go on vacation. My parents liked Myrtle Beach, SC a lot because it was close to Charleston. For the first few years that I can remember my dad would call in a reservation to a hotel a few weeks in advance. But, when we got there they would say they were booked. So, it would take hours going from hotel to hotel before we could settle in and enjoy our vacation. To avoid that, my parents eventually bought time share on Myrtle Beach and we would spend two full weeks there during the summer until they decided to sell it.
May 11th 2019, day before mother's day. Store clerk refused me samples said I had to wait while she served other customers, all white. A gentleman spoke up, oh it's okay serve her first. She tossed a cup toward me not letting me pick my own. He took 2 and offered me the larger portion. she had a meltdown explaining she'd already given me one. I thanked him, waited till he walked away & dropped it in her trash. All the people still there just stood looking at her. I smiled, knowing she could only dream of being half the lady I am
And people think we're joking about sundown towns like black folks haven't been getting kidnapped and gone missing since the 30's....
This still happens in America in the work place
Life is hard enough as it is. Why do we have to make it harder for people just because they look different.
The mental stress is unrelenting.
Wow this must of sucked 50 years ago
What's worse it's still happening
So sad anyone was ever treated like that.
I believe his story at the end but why did the restaurant/diner have black records on it if they didn't serve blacks there? He said he walked away with the music playing.
Bando 1017 Most of this is propaganda.
Black musicians were allowed to play for a white audience. Chuck Berry?
You could tell how much it upset him that he spent his quarter to play his favorite music and then had to leave because of racist bullshit.
@@silvermediastudio you are a lonely person. I understand you're miserable, but you'll find no ompany here
I find all of this fascinating even though as a German, this American brand of racism isn't really part of my history. But there's many lessons to be learned from this for all future generations to come. Thanks to the speakers for sharing their stories.
I reccommend you look into Germany's history of genocide in namibia - before the Nazis
Your history is much worse.
Wow. These stories are so sad, but the least of the injustices Blacks face.
Please put in closed captioning
I’ve learned so much in this series than I did being in history class
Ya like jazz?
Wonder why utube didn't recommend this for me?
The comments of these videos need to be turned off because some of you guys are ridiculous 😭
Family Phone a hit dog hollers "family phone." Your name is dumb as fuck and you lack reading comprehension. 😘
The world isn't fair, but the society as a whole is moving towards equality. Gender, sexual orientation, the definition of marriage, and even race... the list goes on. It is not a perfect world and far from fair, but it is getting better with time.
Mary and Joseph's Story, yall need to wake up why people really hated Jesus! Went to Egypt to fit in, see with your eyes...
I like the program but not the title it doest show it historical not modern
Its a dishonest thing that the LGBT community does to compare themselves to our struggle. ..whose going through this like we did?
GraitBritton youre acting as if lgbt black people dont exist and arent treated worse than straight ppl now and in the past
leela gay people are being denied gas at gas stations? Lesbians are being told to only drive at night? Please stop being disrespectful.
Another person's struggle does nothing to diminish your own. Marginalized groups should unite in their similarities, not bicker over their differences.
yes thats true, the main aim
you're missing my point im saying that being black yes was awful but try being black AND gay, being disrespected by your own community as well as everyone else.
You'd expect a Washington Post video to have CC.
What's trippy to think about is that the south is less racist than the north is today. Like in New York I heard a landlord didn't rent to a doctor just because he was black and the other landlords would attack him for it. Like that shit would never fly here in the south. That's just awful but I guess the reason it's progressed so much is because we're the most diverse region of the nation
Not at all. The west is more diverse by far, And its still very somewhat racist to live in the south its "subtle racism" I'm born and raised In Tennessee.Not the funniest or most progressive state to live in.
I agree. Upstate Ny is full of miserable yt trash people who are hateful drug addicted bigots.
Leaving from a little more cultured part of America to a completely degraded Merica
Cyph3r -xx- culture... Like PEDophilia and rape in Hollywood and NYC?
What's with the lips..
Another video of how tough blacks had it...
Amerikkka's history is based on hardships of pale faced people braving the unknown.
I feel like all liberals should have to watch this to show them what it was like one generation ago and what real struggle feels like
Michael McClay Democrats were slave owners. They know exactly.
I'm aware of all that... I mean like the millennial's nowadays who say they are progressive
Michael McClay Democrats want this. Especially white liberals. They lost their agricultural plantations in 1865. Now they want to keep blacks on an economic and political plantation. Just look at the Democratic run cities over the last 75 years. The evidence is right in front of your eyes. Look up "Hillary Clinton hot sauce."
I love discussing racism in America. To us,people of color, its just a group a white people blaming another group of white people about shit white people did to black people. Just pointing fingers. No they did it, nuh unit was the Republicans,nnnooo it was the Democrats, nnooo it was the Africans who sold them blah blah blah
You are a dumb fuck
lie's
The struggle is real. Ever for white people. Hello!!!
Good old days...
Boo fuckin hoo!
I’m a Trump supporter. I 👍 this video!
NC Styles of course you did. All Trump supporters are fundamentally bad people.
Merrilou Neigenfind According to you 51% of Americans are “bad people”. 😂
Elijah Craig Just think. Our so called President supported a man for the Senate who referred to Asians as, "yellows." My beloved adopted daughter is Chinese. These people are disgusting bigots and racists. I have lived in the South all my life. I really believed when I was a child that when those old racists were put in the ground, things would change. I remember when we wanted to be better. I was wrong.
Merrilou Neigenfind Then move out the fucking country if you don’t accept the president of it! #Stupid
NC Styles did you move out when Obama was president? This is my country! This is OUR country!
What's the point today? This was 50 years ago and America has been vastly improved....
Fred C it's for these people to tell their stories about back then, so yeah it's not relavent now but it's interesting
“improved” lmfao not exactly the world for it innit
In some ways you are correct. However there are still some sleepy towns that aren't too minority friendly.
It's called History! Do you have a problem with history being taught?
O Jamrock I consider it propaganda attempting to make whites feel guilty about this “history”. Dosent work i don’t give a fuck blacks ruin our country daily
In my opinion, a true racist is one that uses skin color in any argument.
Joe F Are you white?
Joe F Just fyi, words have meanings not based on opinions.
Joe F, in my opinion, ur an idiot
Babi Circus,
If that's the case, and surely you have confirmed yourself as a racist. Thank you for the compliment. I never have and never will be a racist.
Joe F ok smart guy, let’s take your words and apply it to a hypothetical scenario, if I am arguing that skin color is irrelevant to job applications, and I say “since when does skin color determine your ability to work?” The point of the argument is to say that anybody should have opportunity to work, regardless of there skin color... but I used skin color in my argument... but according to your logic, I’m racist.. right?
I feel like all liberals should have to watch this to show them what it was like one generation ago and what real struggle feels like
So you're saying that having a resume thrown away is comparable to not being able to stop for gas at night because you might be lynched or beaten? I think if you can't see that there has been a MAJOR decrease in the amount and severity of racism in America you are the naive one. 50 years ago they couldn't even apply for the job you're talking about.
If you've seen that they you know individuals who are racist, but that doesn't mean that the system is broken
and when you turn to crime you can't work... all blaming "racism" does is cement the idea that all problems aren't due to their own moral failings.
The gangs are the only thing right now stopping the inner-city's/ghettos from moving up economically.
