@@rustybennineoneonemajesty you're entitled to your views as I am entitled to mine in regards to the photos, however, your input is irrelevant in response to my comment as my opinion on the matter still stands✌
That's not true we had what they have us. This was the early 1900s slavery just ended for most. And if what you are saying is true if we did have out own. It was just because we were separated and segregated.
Making Gainz no there is no modern protection. As I’ve said to you before, White envy and the white “ supremacy” machine (which still stands today) destroyed, burned, and undermined thriving black communities/businesses. Black people are still trying to catch a damn break. In the interim, enjoy your white privileges and advantages. POS
Well done. Look at the class and style of these people of color. While it's important to live in the day, black people certainly can look to the past for some guidance, wisdom, and dignity.
I prefer our natural hair, knowing now that they hurt even their skin to have those white looks. I look at the hair and I see then having to forget their roots (as an imposition).

@SweatDeezTexas WELL, BROTHER, I HATE YOU FEEL LIKE THIS. POC AIN'T BAD AS BEING CALLED "BLACK". WE ARE NOT CRAYONS EITHER. IT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US PALES. PALE FACES DON'T HAVE ANY COLOR, CULTURE, OR CREATIVITY.

Us black americans at that time had businesses, our own schools, movies theaters, grocery stores etc, we were a self respecting race at that time, we loves each other, and were in unity.
Zenobia Russell thank you for bringing up integration. And let’s not forget Jim Crow. Black people were rising and thriving, then evil WS burned black towns and black businesses down.
WOW- these must have taken a lot of research to find! What are wonderful depiction of Black folks, who, apparently were doing much better back then. Great title.
I think the more dependent you are, the less class you have. If there is no welfare state or food stamps, maybe people will be forced to be a better class of people. The Blacks in this video stand head and shoulders above the generation of quick-fix hand-outs.
@@MrCJ-qz9dl That would be taking all those things from other Races who make up the largest percentage of people who are on those welfare programs. According to the Department of Children & Family it's not Blacks who make the highest percentage of people on welfare. You just assume black equals Welfare. That's a stereotype.
Damn, .. look at us, we always had style, class and were absolutely trend setters! Great photos! It was also good to see that none of the men or women had their pants sagging as well. Moreover, no Crip walking dances, no tattoos on their arms or face, no gang signs being thrown up or any other type of disorderly or cringe behavior. Yes, apparently we've fallen from the Most High Yah's grace.
@@princesspai1975 hey dick head! The African enslaved the European close to 800 years. The longest run of any enslavement! Learn real history. The African went into Europe & civilized the white man. He took the white man out of the dark ages! Read a real history book!
When Harlem was in Vogue by David Levering is a great read on Black people making miracles out of very little in the United States. These people prospered despite societal ills and in less than eighty years after Emancipation.
The later generations fell prey to the Communists looking for a foothold in America and unfortunately they didn't consider what these people would want in exchange for their help. Their ideology has caused this downfall. Sad.
Harlem was developed by a black real estate investor. Was an upper middle class neighborhood for upwardly mobile blacks in NY until the Depression. Certainly no ghetto!
Alot of times I think about the problems I would've had back then, compared to the problems I face today, & would I survive back then?They made it easier for us just by living💯
Thank you for this, these times are often left to leave us (black lives) discouraged and disgusted....thru these images my soul and spirit are fed love and honor. Thank you again...

I love looking at things like this it makes me appreciate my history and how far we have came yet we are stuck in this tumultuous mindset and we must learn to move forward with peace and gracefulness.
Yes, that lady was definitely wearing a corset as the style back then was to achieve a tiny looking waist, which often times was more harmful than helpful. My father told me how my grandmother had her corset pulled so tightly that it caused a large blister on her side; after visiting her family doctor to be treated for it, he advised her not to wear her corset anymore and she followed his advice and never wore it again. Thank goodness she listened to him instead of using a homemade medicine that she would often make to use as her "cure-all".
That was really great ! Such a nice surprise. You’re right, one rarely sees such photos. Beautiful ladies, so elegant..adorable children, dapper men. Thanks !
