In my opinion, this was one of the most underrated movies of 1990’s. This movie was so powerful and well done. Rosewood definitely deserved a lot more recognition than it got.
Why do you think it didn’t? This is still a white world we live in. Ofc they knew the awards that this movie should’ve gotten, and yet they award them to Sandra Bullock bullet nosed ass.
I agree. It's just too bad it became a box office bomb. This story is so potent. The voices of the victims (both dead and survived) cried out so loudly.
ReadingJunkie he left because his father was a racist piece of shit and watching that Massacre would probably make him hate everything that racism stands for
@@zechariahfrink3707 Also he was friends with Arnette and his dad hated that and told him to stop playing with him and slapped him for saying that he was a good friend to him. Also when they showed that mass grave when they dumped all the Black bodies, the little boy started crying because there were little babies in the grave and his dad slapped him again saying that “A Nigger is a Nigger” No wonder why he wanted to get away from that scumbag.
I bet he would be disappointed if he found out that's over a hundred years since the rosewood massacre. No media coverage even talks about. They spoke about what happened in Tulsa but they never spoke about what happened in rosewood 🙄🙄🙄
0:41 I'm sorry to say this, but somebody should've done the exact same thing to the trash who lied on Emmett Till too. I don't care how old she is, she still deserve to get what's coming her the same way Fanny deserved it.
She confessed some years ago that the whole fiasco was a hoax, and that they practically beat and lynched him beyond worse than a martyred saint. She passed shortly after because of some ailment, which might explain her last minute confession.
Don't Subscribe. I Don't Need Subscribers. He’s saying that since the people of Rosewood got their proper reparations, Emmett Till’s family should receive something after it was confirmed he was murdered over nothing.
Aja Wilson same here watched it in the movies when it first came out. Black dudes had the nerve to have their white girlfriends and wives with them. Shit is sad
Angela Alvarez ANGELA have a multiple seats you wouldn’t understand. A whole town was killed over a WHITE woman lying. That shit still happens to this day. WTF are you talking about? Emmett Till??? Killed and the lady said she lied. Forgive but i dont forget
Looove the fact that the husband became enraged enough to do this to her! She disrupted a whole community and cheated. Had so many killed and was able to even still sleep or relax?? Yeah kudos to the husband once he realizes the truth!
@@joel8583 In 1993 the House of Reps for what ever state this was in granted the remaining families and victims(all of whom were children at the time) concessions and compensation for their trauma and suffering at the time when the real events occurred in 1919. Multiple blacks gave testimony but the only one white witness at the time got the motion granted.
I could honestly say that woman who started this sequence of events deserves all the pain from her beating. I don’t know if I’m considering myself human, but I smile hearing her cries of pain when she got beat up. I guess I’m more of a black person in spirit, than a white man.
No is not your spirit is black because our spirit does it have a color has colors but you understand morally what they did was wrong and what she did was wrong and you're not afraid to say that and to express it which is a good thing and for that I thank you because for you to say that you are a white man there are some Caucasian people that try to act as if this didn't happen or it wasn't that bad or wasn't that big of a deal so thank you for standing on the moral side of life versus what's popular in the world at that time because if you would have said something. You probably would have been lynched and probably called a Niger lover as you're taking your last breath so for being on the moral side of life and possibly sacrificing your life if you lived in that time window as a white man and you still thought that way thank you
No. He didn't. Not until the idiots terrorizing everyone laughed at the fact that she is promiscuous and sept with every white man she could in the neighborhood. That's when he found out she was never beaten or raped by a back man but beaten by a White lover.
He had no choice his daddy told him to do those horrible things and look what happened he had to leave he had to go he couldn’t take it anymore and I feel pretty bad for the little boy I really do the breaks a person‘s heart broken heart 💔
There's so much to be taken from this movie. The saddest point of the movie is that it is a true story. Too, the Justice of today STILL turns a blind eye to blatant injustice against Black people in general. In 2018, soon to be 2019, a white woman can tell that same lie today, and the aftermath would be a modern day witch hunt. Innocent Black men would be sentenced to life in prison WITHOUT possibility of parole! Just like the movie, corruption, incompetence, envy, greed, ignorance and blind hatred to name a few, is present in, and on every level of "law enforcement". The Penal system is crowded with innocent Black people, whole court system staff, administration, and some Judges continue to thrive and get rich off of the lies of lying white women/people. Just turn on your TV, go to the internet or just walk out of your home and look around you. Rosewood is alive and well and thriving all over the world. It took 70 years for court justice to be served on behalf of the survivors of Rosewood. My question remains unanswered; did the owners of the properties looted and burned in Rosewood get their property back? Do the heirs of those Black people that legally owned property have the right to take their parents property back? How can any of the survivors or their heirs have peace, when the jury is still out and Justice is still deliberating on "what is true, what is facts, and who to believe" in today's Rosewood stories.
I wonder if Emmett was actually a real person in Rosewood or was he just a fictional character? I'm sure not everything that happened in the movie took place in real life.
And if he was real,I wonder if he is dead or alive? If he is dead,I can imagine that him, Emmett Till, and George Stinney Jr is having the time of their lives in heaven.
Yes it happened 100 years ago and I haven’t heard a single media story I’m talking about like big media outlets talk about it all they talked about. Was that one that happened in Tulsa Oklahoma 1921. But they never even talked about it this year that just annoys me. Really does tell you that nobody really cares about what happens in Florida to anybody and again I don’t think anybody in United States and the media gives a crap about Florida just makes me sick..
Witnessing the massacre wasn't a dose of reality? If he's strong enough to walk away from his piece of shit father at that age, I'm sure he was strong enough to survive. Most grown men are less men than that little boy
Older generations of Black people often don't talk about experiences with racism. I could give examples from all over the earth how history is often forgotten.
This reminds me of the anti-Mexican violence in Texas during the 1910s and 1920s. Anglo-Texan vigilantes, and law enforcements lynched and murdered hundreds of Mexican-Americans. Burning down tiny villages that no longer exist all across Texas. This tragedy is called 'La Matanza' ("The Massacre" or "The Slaughter"). A dark US history not many people know about.
@@buttercup5920 There ain't any movies about those events in Texas. There's a lot of crap Mexican's and Native-Americans went through that no one talks about or are even included in U.S. History books in schools. As if our contributions and struggles in the States doesn't matter.
Yes you are right just like many people don't know that former enslaved people, including many in my own family,along with people of Mexican Descent and Native Americans helped recover the bodies of the Civil War dead.Both Confederate and Union. And I am talking from Texas all the way to Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. In fact one of my great great grandfathers who was on a body recovery detail mentioned that the White officials and newspapermen who were present were astounded at the level of respect that these Blacks, Mexicans and Native Americans paid to the bodies of these war dead. Because these 3 groups were always perceived as less than human and incapable of having any level of humanity. My mother's side of the family has had a presence in the gulf of louisiana since the 1700s on my maternal grandmother's side as slaves from Haiti. While my maternal grandfather's people came as free people of color from Haiti in the early 1800s.Both sides mentioned the presence of Mexicans and Mexican Americans in that area. And I do remember the elders mention that there was a greater influx of Mexican Americans by 1915.And they came from Texas .Those people used the term La Expulsion or pogromo.There are just so many things that people don't know about. But thank God there were a lot of things passed down through the generations in my own family.
@naejames3603 Yup. Same thing that happened in Porvenir, Texas. Back in 1918, equipment from a range was raided and stolen. Without evidence, Texas rangers went to the village of Porvenir and went door to door to capture whoever stole the equipment. Guess, just for the hell of it, the rangers took 15 men and boys to a nearby hill and executed them for no reason. The rest of 140 residents fled the village, and the rangers burned down their town.
@@allengreene9954 I can recall as a child many of my Southern African American elders who eventually migrated to Nothern cities say there were plenty of small towns burnt and razed to the ground and plenty of people buried in mass graves.The rest were thrown in the water or burnt in the woods. They hailed from LOUISIANA, FLORIDA, SOUTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. I mean the horror stories were almost endless. So as a child in the 1960s I am like how could this happen in the United States of America. I barely became aware by family accounts the Genocidal campaign against Native Americans. I knew that Black people were enslaved at one time on American soil.But I never really thought about the extent of the mass killings of Black people that happened so often and in many different places of the country after the civil war.And not just the Southern part of the country because our family also had people who settled in Indiana and Illinois as well.
@@frederickgriffith7004 It’s sad and horrifying to think about😢😢😢😢 I just wouldn’t feel comfortable living in towns were I know a bunch of Mass Rape, Murder, Genocide, Looting and Burning went on and no justice was never carried out on the Violaters🤬🤬🤬🤬 Plus the fact that this was left out of the history books🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿 If it hadn’t have been for the Movie and my Dad mention Black Wall Street, I wouldn’t have never known about all the massacres that took place. From the late 1880s to the mid-1960s it was just a free for all for White People to do whatever they wanted to Black People and others like Mexicans and Indians🤢🤢🤢🤢
I'm a huge ASOIAF fans, and I'll say right now, that 0:37 is what Ned should've done to Lyanna when he found out that she'd ran off willingly, resulting in a war that cost the deaths of their, father, older brother and countless others.
It sad when someone lies about being raped. I'm from Philly PA an we had a case 19 years ago this girl said she was raped so the guys in her neighborhood go to Rockledge PA in Abington .( My ex lived nearby around the time) these guys beat a random kid named Eddie Polick to death wit base ball bats on church steps to death. It turned out the girl wasn't raped !!
@@edwardgaines6561 As much as a good movie 12 Years A Slave and Birth of a Nation was?? I can’t watch those movies anymore without getting mad or crying.
Fanny learned what’s done in the dark will always comes to light that’s means you can’t always cover it up your misdeeds actions forever either way it’s will reveal sooner or later be prepared to facing the music
Sad thing is a lot of the rosewood residents worked for the citizens of sumner 😑 I can imagine how half of them help nothing having a extra hand anymore
Fanny deserved to be punished. However, people may be overplaying her role. The real monster in this is her husband James. James actively took part in the massacre of innocent people for no reason other then, giving the alleged Jesse Hunter a ride. And other “crimes” such as not knowing who the person is, hiding the person, or simply being a colored person in Rosewood. Fanny is nothing more than a tramp who’s misdeeds caught up to her. I doubt she wanted any of the massacre to happen, though she knew things could get out of control. However, James Taylor is the real scumbag here.
Wasn't that little boy being abused physically/sexually by that man who is trying to get him back in his house? It's been forever since I've seen the movie but I seem to remember that. (Movie summaries online offered me no help to my question)
I intend to watch it because I have come to hear about it from a pastor who was teaching on ALTARS OF LYING SPIRITS. He quoted this movie to show that lying can cost lives.
During that massacre, watching 40 y/o Mr Mann french kiss 17 y/o Scrappie on the back of that train, added to the horrific nature of all that was happening.
@@Quaronna Uh, why are you confused? No one is talking about Emmitt Till. They're referring to the character in the film named Emmitt. Did you watch the movie?
This movie just showed how Evil those type of people are. And to think it's just because of other people's skin color that they hate them. Quite mind boggling
I watched this movie when i was a teenager I'm 44 now I'm still shocked with what happened there, spme survivors that still wanted to come out say the movie wasn't even near what happened in reality... To spend many decades silent, the parts that haunt me the mass grave men, women and children even babies were killed and burried, but the train scene where many survivors tried to get on the train and were shot... I hope someday they find the mass grave to prove the size of the event
I'm glad Emmett was nothing like his dad it took a lot of courage to walk away from someone who was toxic and when he said i hate you i felt so proud of him
@@Butterfly22593everyone keeps blaming her. As if all the white town were innocent. Your reply explains things, well. We can hold multiple people accountable. Many things can be true at the same time.
Oh he had to leave because his daddy was a monster I feel sorry for the daddy not but it just learned his lesson is daddy is going to get sicker and sicker so he had to do was to leave and that’s exactly what he did he said goodbye to his father and that’s how it is you couldn’t take it anymore
I think all those Caucasians that were involved in destroying that town should have been forced to rebuild that town from scratch. Although the blacks may never return there, at least make Rosewood a historical landmark.
Lakiesha Powe because she was cheating on her husband and the white man she had slept with beat her ass really bad so she lied to the whole town and said a black man raped and beat her which caused a lot of innocent black people to get killed...the scene where u see the man beating her is her husband he found out she was lying about the whole thing
@@defundthepolice2007She cheated on her husband with a man, but knowing her, it was probably with more than one, then she lied and said a black man raped her so because of her lie, a whole town was destroyed and innocent black people were killed.
The lies and hate needs to die. Look what comes of it. We are all family no matter what race. Under god there is one family and that is all who walk this earth.
Okay, hypothetically speaking.Put yourself in this movie.Let's suppose a few of the Caucasian men were to approach you and apologize for the part they played in the massacre.Could you accept their apology? Could you forgive them?

@@StromLxrd6 Most of those towns in Florida and Georgia are haunted and have very sinister vibes.
@@allengreene9954 I can recall as a child many of my Southern African American elders who eventually migrated to Nothern cities say there were plenty of small towns burnt and razed to the ground and plenty of people buried in mass graves.The rest were thrown in the water or burnt in the woods. They hailed from LOUISIANA, FLORIDA, SOUTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. I mean the horror stories were almost endless. So as a child in the 1960s I am like how could this happen in the United States of America. I barely became aware by family accounts the Genocidal campaign against Native Americans. I knew that Black people were enslaved at one time on American soil.But I never really thought about the extent of the mass killings of Black people that happened so often and in many different places of the country after the civil war.And not just the Southern part of the country because our family also had people who settled in Indiana and Illinois as well.
@@frederickgriffith7004 It’s sad and horrifying to think about😢😢😢😢 I just wouldn’t feel comfortable living in towns were I know a bunch of Mass Rape, Murder, Genocide, Looting and
Burning went on and no justice was never carried out on the Violaters🤬🤬🤬🤬 Plus the fact that this was left out of the history books🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿 If it hadn’t have been for the Movie and my Dad mention Black Wall Street, I wouldn’t have never known about all the massacres that took place. From the late 1880s to the mid-1960s it was just a free for all for White People to do whatever they wanted to Black People and others like Mexicans and Indians🤢🤢🤢🤢
Crazy thing is these same type of white people today would bring up black on black crime 🙄 but ignore shit like this
Yep, “black on black crime”.
Also known as crime…
Ngl hearing Fanny getting beat up was satisfying
😭I cried a lot watching this 🎬🎥movie. 🎉🍿🎊I 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 applaude all of the ❤thespians for their compelling 🎭art.
1:34 little boy unlearned a sickness behavioral of pattern just that easy! But it is! Just a movie! And 2020! It continues🤷🏾♂️
Ving Rhames had quite a lot of cool characters to perform. This one is cool as well.
THAT NUMBER IS MUCH HIGHER THAN EIGHT. I LIVE NOT TOO FAR FROM ROSEWOOD
I'm a huge ASOIAF fans, and I'll say right now, that 0:37 is what Ned should've done to Lyanna when he found out that she'd ran off willingly, resulting in a war that cost the deaths of their, father, older brother and countless others.
It sad when someone lies about being raped. I'm from Philly PA an we had a case 19 years ago this girl said she was raped so the guys in her neighborhood go to Rockledge PA in Abington .( My ex lived nearby around the time) these guys beat a random kid named Eddie Polick to death wit base ball bats on church steps to death. It turned out the girl wasn't raped !!
1:17 is the realest part
2:18 I always remember that scene, as short as it was. 😢
With everything going on today I feel like this movie should be remade
Nah. I'm still reeling from _12 Years A Slave._
@@edwardgaines6561 As much as a good movie 12 Years A Slave and Birth of a Nation was?? I can’t watch those movies anymore without getting mad or crying.
A remake would only reboot the narrative of systemic racism?
@@conservativewarrior777. What are you talking about????🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
Pleasing to my ears hearing the lady get hear butt whooped at the end. Deserved every lick
Fanny learned what’s done in the dark will always comes to light that’s means you can’t always cover it up your misdeeds actions forever either way it’s will reveal sooner or later be prepared to facing the music
Sad thing is a lot of the rosewood residents worked for the citizens of sumner 😑 I can imagine how half of them help nothing having a extra hand anymore
Fanny deserved to be punished. However, people may be overplaying her role. The real monster in this is her husband James. James actively took part in the massacre of innocent people for no reason other then, giving the alleged Jesse Hunter a ride. And other “crimes” such as not knowing who the person is, hiding the person, or simply being a colored person in Rosewood. Fanny is nothing more than a tramp who’s misdeeds caught up to her. I doubt she wanted any of the massacre to happen, though she knew things could get out of control. However, James Taylor is the real scumbag here.
They all scumbags, her included. He was racist, but responding to her accusations. Still the flame that lit the fire.......
Did he beat her cuz he found out she lied I think so
Sounds like he beat the bricks off her.
That's part of it, but l read somewhere might be true might not is that Sarah Carrier was Fanny's husband nanny when he was younger.
Also because of the affairs she had.
That was the only justice black folks got in the movie
@@MrBlkthndr Woke up to an ass kickin
He ain't love his son too much ... he never ran after him not once!
Wasn't that little boy being abused physically/sexually by that man who is trying to get him back in his house? It's been forever since I've seen the movie but I seem to remember that. (Movie summaries online offered me no help to my question)
He wasn’t sexually abused but I believe verbally and physically because he got slapped when he felt some type of way about seeing murdered babies.
A hell of a movie..Sad but a great story
I intend to watch it because I have come to hear about it from a pastor who was teaching on ALTARS OF LYING SPIRITS. He quoted this movie to show that lying can cost lives.
During that massacre, watching 40 y/o Mr Mann french kiss 17 y/o Scrappie on the back of that train, added to the horrific nature of all that was happening.
Out of all this, that's all you chose to focus on?..
I don’t condone it but it was 1923. Age of Consent laws didn’t come for another 30-40 Years.
i gonna play that beating over look at me
Does anyone know what the actor is called who played Emmett?
Marina Mtz Tristian Hook but it appears Rosewood was his first and final movie
Emmet Till was born in 1941 and died in 1955. The Rosewwod massacre took place in 1923! I'm confused. Please explain?
@@Quaronna Uh, why are you confused? No one is talking about Emmitt Till. They're referring to the character in the film named Emmitt. Did you watch the movie?
This movie just showed how Evil those type of people are. And to think it's just because of other people's skin color that they hate them. Quite mind boggling
I watched this movie when i was a teenager I'm 44 now I'm still shocked with what happened there, spme survivors that still wanted to come out say the movie wasn't even near what happened in reality... To spend many decades silent, the parts that haunt me the mass grave men, women and children even babies were killed and burried, but the train scene where many survivors tried to get on the train and were shot... I hope someday they find the mass grave to prove the size of the event
3:07 _"The deposition of one WHITE citizen."_
I always wondered, was that "one WHITE citizen" the kid who ran away from home?
3:16 I think the white citizen is the kid from 1:31 all grown up.
0:24 0:47 0:48 1:50 2:37 3:31 3:37 3:46 3:47 3:48 4:04
I'm glad Emmett was nothing like his dad it took a lot of courage to walk away from someone who was toxic and when he said i hate you i felt so proud of him
Fanny got busted by her angry raging husband
Beat her ass James, she destroyed lives and ruined a community all because she was too sacred to admit that she was cheating. Smh
James isn't innocent in all this. Him ( and the whole town knew) knew his wife was a hoe but killed a bunch of innocent people anyway
@@Butterfly22593everyone keeps blaming her. As if all the white town were innocent. Your reply explains things, well. We can hold multiple people accountable. Many things can be true at the same time.
Oh he had to leave because his daddy was a monster I feel sorry for the daddy not but it just learned his lesson is daddy is going to get sicker and sicker so he had to do was to leave and that’s exactly what he did he said goodbye to his father and that’s how it is you couldn’t take it anymore
What’s the name of the music at 0:05
He is packing her up in that house 😂😂😂😂
Somebody saw that Wil Milz top 5 list
@@354allday 😂😂 that shit had laughing man
If that husband had sorted his wife out in the beginning it wouldn't have happened. He knew she was a hoe and he let her carry on acting like one.
She should've gotten worse
Fanny is deserve to beat
I think all those Caucasians that were involved in destroying that town should have been forced to rebuild that town from scratch. Although the blacks may never return there, at least make Rosewood a historical landmark.
0:45 we should’ve saw the conclusion of the matter smh. I mean she killed all those people with one lie smh
So damn mad that fanny lived to an old age smh
But got the beating of her life
Now they need to pay reparations to the entire community of black American descendants of chattel slavery .
Emmett finally has had enough of his Dad's Abusive Behavior
Emmett is done with his dad.
Jon Voight helping blacks in this movie is beyond unbelievable
A very grim film to watch.
Black people we have suffered man
Never again...
I had never seen this movie why did he beat her like that?
Lakiesha Powe watch the movie and you'll know
*She deserved every bit of it and than some. It's a really good movie. Watch it.*
Lakiesha Powe because she was cheating on her husband and the white man she had slept with beat her ass really bad so she lied to the whole town and said a black man raped and beat her which caused a lot of innocent black people to get killed...the scene where u see the man beating her is her husband he found out she was lying about the whole thing
@@defundthepolice2007She cheated on her husband with a man, but knowing her, it was probably with more than one, then she lied and said a black man raped her so because of her lie, a whole town was destroyed and innocent black people were killed.
@@amirriam8451 He already knew she was lying.
Can someone explain to me 0:43 why does the man go in there and who is he beating? Was it the woman who made the false accusations? Thanks.
She the trick that lied and said a black man raped her.
1. It was his home. 2. He was beating his wife. 3. Yes it the same woman who lied
A lie destroyed an entire town the brutality humans can inflict on each other really sad and disgusting
That's what a lot of people did in those days. And the sad thing is some people still do that today. Lie
The lies and hate needs to die. Look what comes of it. We are all family no matter what race. Under god there is one family and that is all who walk this earth.
Yes Lee I agree with that.
Emmett Purdy runs away from his bad dad Duke Purdy
Okay, hypothetically speaking.Put yourself in this movie.Let's suppose a few of the Caucasian men were to approach you and apologize for the part they played in the massacre.Could you accept their apology? Could you forgive them?
This is a true story that happened 101 years ago!
Emmett is what William Anderson should've done to Bill (Father) from Violette1st if William think Bill A Terrible Father.
A truly terrible act, evil 😈 as sin
Fanny Shouldn't Lie
Sweet!
So your idea of living in the world is destroying a town because of someone's skin color.
2:50
This was filmed 10 mins from my house and that fucking train would howl all night long
James Revenge on Fanny For Rejectfully Slapping Him While He was Trying to love Her while she was Cooking at the beginning. 0:41
I wonder did he kill her???? He was beating the brakes off of her.
