This is where the real strength of America lies: in it's decent citizens.
*its (possessive)
it's = contraction of "it is/has"
@@alvallac2171 A typo, but thank you. You know, I immediately sent in the correction but it never appeared next to the first. Thought it might be elsewhere. Karma has struck! I have taught this rule for years and been irritated by those who break it. Cheers!
Indeed.
,@@t0t3m68 Of course! 'Tis central to her strength. But, whisper now, for hate-filled
minds cannot bear to acknowledge it.
Facts
So glad to have people like her =)
Every comment section I go to, ray mak follows me
@@hfjiswnation4338 What can we say; He sure gets around!
Unlike some people, I've never seen you before
AND him... We need the energy and conviction of both sides to move the goal of unity forward. Appreciation to them both for excellent leadership!!!💯
🤝🤜🏼🤛🏾🤝
We may not have the same skin color....but we should be united on the basis that we are in the same high tax, low wage class ----- we should rise up against government systems that keep us poor!
This is what American Patriots look like, Americans standing up for other Americans. You dont have to understand the cause, but just listen with an open heart.
Absolutely. There's more to our country, than just the Slave Master.
It was quite interesting to hear him talk about just how white supremacy came to be.
Absolutely right! ✌️
Kind of hard to do when their burning your city down.
The Media Report nice, standing up for Marxist & associates.
Real “patriotism”
As a native mississippian, and current tennesseean, I am so glad that someone is creating an organization that represents how MANY southern millennials are feeling right now.
YAAAAAS ! Hallelujah ! Sending love from the West Coast to my Southern family working on equity and fighting the 1% !
💙❤️💙 TOGETHER WE STAND !
In the 'Sipp, I stand! 💜💚💛✌️
And seeing comments like this warms my heart!
This has happened before in 1969. It was called 'The Rainbow Coalition' that was driven by Fred Hampton of the 'Black Panther Party'. He understood that poor White people were being pitted against BIPOC folks so the attention would be taken off the creators of White Supremacy. I wish all poor White people could let go of the privilege they have that does more harm to them so we can defeat our common enemy.
As a black woman learning this gave me hope in America
Not in America as much as people here
Yes
Oh, so you hope for privileges? Nice, seems fair enough.
@Message huh?
@@valentinarepina3906 Not sure if that's what her comment stated~
This is what we need more of...
indeed
Definitely
For sure
Agreed.
Bring in our poor hispanic and aisian brothers and sisters and all of us vote blue.
So real human beings standing up for their fellow man. This is who America should want to be.
We are UNITED! trump will not drive us apart
this should also be what the world could be. ;)

@@melindabraun6060 We can make it so. God bless.

This is a nightmare for the system, a union of the poor, oppressed, and disenfranchised
1000% we need to unionize the work force
This has been Bernie Sanders's message all his life.
This is the best thing I've seen in a while, this is how America should be, way to go!
Love this woman. We need her and her generous spirit.
This is powerful stuff. White and black unity against the rich and powerful landlords and company owners is a story that reaches back through American history to the beginning. Rejecting racism is the first step; unifying in solidarity for the betterment of all poor and oppressed Americans will put an end to the runaway wealth and income inequality that is even now destroying our nation from within.
Drop the Americans part
This ain't just an American thing comrade, it be global
@@superbananas7792 the topic is American racism. Try to keep up.
@@ttystikkrocks1042 Well it's not when you say "oppressed Americans"......cus that's making it more Nationalistic which definitely ain't what this discussion is about.
It implies its American people instead of ya know the working class ya know all of us that need to unify.
@@superbananas7792 you're working way too hard at this.
@@ttystikkrocks1042 Eh probably
Very heart warming, America needs this Now. Great piece
Finally Someone who gets it I would fight for this woman. She must be protected.
This is what should've been in our history books from the beginning
AFRICAN AMERICAN INVENTORS SHOULD'VE BEEN TAUGHT IN OUR SCHOOLS ASLO.
Exactly
I get this comment but it was💀 so were black inventors🤦🏾♀️😂❤ but more positive representation would've been better for sure!
Truth!
@@constancejenkins3867 I'm not sure where you went to school and honestly it doesn't matter, you're speaking from a personal experience, and a rare one at that if you're looking to the entire nation as a whole...which I assumed we all were. The subject of black & poc inventors and unity pacts were/are definitely neglected in majority of American School curriculums.
This needs to be taught in schools - throughout elementary thru high school.
They will defund the school system in a heartbeat
Definitely one thing is true nobody's going anywhere so we're going to all have to learn to live together and respect one another it has been far too long for us to have not grown in this way
We all humans need to stick together for a better future of “we the people “ and not just for a few greedy people
72marshflower15 and that’s exactly why we can’t come together.
As long as the rich can convince the poor whites that they are better thank a black person, it will never happen.
Shantia Aikens Yup. Racism is such a great way to con people.
What if someone breaks into your house and steaks all your stuff
momo how does Someone “steak stuff” ?
What a great woman
Just lovely and peaceful
When will people realize that it is not about black vs white, reps vs dems or men vs women....it is all about rich vs poor.
@Epic Dude 69 Truth
Epic Dude 69 the movement is about reaching a point to where they aren’t seen by others for their race. Smart v fools, what divides them? Ignorance compared to willful ignorance? Just people who didnt ask to be born as anything trying to find themselves and be safe in a world with some people who hate them for who they are.
Class consciousness.

@@42svb58 You're replying to a guerrilla im all for it lol.
Every once in a while, when I think the world is a loss, something like this comes along and renews my hope in humanity. Thank you! 😍
YES! Exactly how I feel! After 4 years of hate, bigotry, division, inequality being " revived" and enabled in the trump presidency, this give hope and belief in a better, inclusive future.
Wow...just learned some American history that I never found in any books in high school. Thank you for sharing!
That’s one strong woman! It sucks that diversity is “news”, though.
V: It's not. The powers that be just want us to think it is. People have organized multi-racially based on class lines many times in the past.
@@milascave2 exactly ; "news" is not always 'new'
Man you said a lot in that one sentence..
U can say dat again. “The MEDIA” wants u to know wut it TEL-U- vision.
This movement has many things in common with Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Time to come together.
I love Rev. Dr. Barber, the leader of this movement! He’s awesome!!
That may be true. Though if you look at what happened during the women's march. White women consistently betrayed black women. It is still happening now.
Just when it seems like RACE RELATIONS are deteriorating..PPL LIKE [BETH HOWARD] have WONDERFUL SUGGESTIONS OF RACIAL UNITY.
They ain't though that's just the power of the media and the Far-right pretending like it is to stop us uniting as one class in a common fight against oppression.
That being us the working class.
She’s the kind that makes one burst with pride as an American. In this current environment, I needed this.
Google Jane Elliot ....American Educator on race!
@@apache7074 I love Jane Elliot so much! She's a literal queen and has done so much throughout her life to help
Rae Smith ...I agree, she’s a little badass!!! Speaks truth!
"Solidarity of the working class, white and black folk, that those in power will do absolutely anything to stop!"
God bless that good woman, we need many more good people like Beth Howard.
The true problems in America are class based, rich versus poor, racial tensions always stem from economic issues.
It's always been about class
Class based and economic issues are the foundation of racism. The upper class/rich have the power and that coupled with predjudice leads right back to racism.

@Antifastan Collective Farms 😅😅😅yeh ok 👌👌gotcha 😉
☺️🤟
It’s dumb how racism is even a thing. Like really you don’t like colors?
Agreed
It's fear not necessarily colors black is elegant and they know this
Most underrated comment in UA-cam history
Racism was made a thing - specifically it was made a tool of division and oppression. It serves no other purpose.
Don't play dumb. It's about the behaviors of black people not the fact that they are the color black.
This makes me very proud that my hillbilly cousins, brothers and sisters are standing up for the rights of all color God bless you all you're fighting a good fight
We have always been in this together. We just forgot.
Well done. Encouraging news. Hope more emphatic individuals join you.
@Helen Pauls We certainly need them to do so, as soon as possible and as many as possible. Now more than ever.
This is cool to see. If you think about it, it just makes sense. Racism is stooooopid.
Agreed.
This needs to be taught in schools.
They NEVER will.. I'm 45 years old and the ONLY reason I know even a little of this is because my grandmother would speak on it. I have a mixed granddaughter and I just forwarded this to her parents and captioned it
"WHAT SOME WANT TO FORGET AND OTHERS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW.. EACH ONE TEACH ONE WHAT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM NEVER WILL"
Absolutely
👍
Yes it does it would gap the divide of black and white. The truth will set us all free

@Op Shacknasty sorry. have you moved since then?
I've always wondered about this!
Seems like poor people of any race would have a lot in common.
I just came across this heartwarming piece of our history I didn’t know anything about! I plan on doing more research that wasn’t taught ‘in school’!
Such inspiring people❣️
We the black delegation, would like to trade her for Herschel Walker
And they can have Candace Owens too
Okima Wilcox well played, well played.
Already done
Yed
Yes
I’m so happy to hear a normal response to a whole group of people feeling disenfranchised. A human to human feel. There is always good people in any group. Awesome.
This video is gold. Racism is pointless, if you're that jealous because someone else got more sun than you then you need to check yourself. We are literally ALL the SAME. That's what makes the united States great is how DIVERSE we are. Human beings are beautiful, doesn't matter where you come from or what you look like, we should have respect for each other.
💯
Agreed. But the system doesn’t treat everyone as the same so we can’t act colorblind.
What if you look like Jabba the Hut
Exactly
So basically, what you're saying is "All Lives Matter?" Got it 👍
Thank you. We need to stand together now! I'm a Mexican southerner. Seen stuff, a lot of stuff. This brings joy to my heart.
Magnificent!! This is good stuff, no hate just being a person who loves her country and it's people.
From NZ. That lady is to be much admired.
This gave me goosebumps. ❤️
Me too!💙🌹
Ditto
It happened to when the hippies in the Civil Rights people realized we were fighting against the same thing that's when the government brought out the guns Kent State
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Lets go!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is incredible and brings a tear to my eye to see people like her who have seen the injustices done to black people in particular and will stand with us and not against us calling us self victimizing people who lives don’t matter. I pray for more people like her 🙏🏽
This brings back my hope in humanity...
This is what we truly need nowadays. Standing together in solidarity. So beautiful 😭😭😭
Fact.
Class solidarity
Trump is going to have an apoplectic fit
History will not remember "president" Trump kindly at all - he will be a cautionary tale for future generations about how hate, bigotry and divisiveness can and will tear a nation apart.
Black lives matter as an organization is the worst thing ever, the statement is also racist if you have to put a color in front of “lives matter” it’s racist, the only hate, racism, bigotry I see if coming from the left
Billy Bobby you clearly do not get it, so maybe educate yourself before making bigoted statements on youtube
Love that word!
ONLY IF HE IS ALIVE ;)
You go Girl!!!!👌🏽
Even the deep south, economic and social progressives exist. It’s always refreshing to see them speak up.
Go ahead girl, I hear you. Much love and respect coming your way.
She reminds me of A Southern Belle with so much class!
Thank you for showing this they would have us think that we never agreed on, or cared about each other. Thank you for the editorial.
This is surprising!!! Finally i am see something postive in like weeks.
Should put that confederate flag away though.....
Thank you guys! We need all the help we can get and so we are down with you too!
Its so sad that we can't be all in one, having a leader poisoning this country with his racist rhetoric, he has divided this country. God made us all. Its so beautiful to see unity. I'm so proud of have three races in one,African ,European and Indian. I was taught right by my parents to love all people regarding of their race.
This is awesome. You have done something that needs to be done everywhere. Great job!
God created one race. The human race. And humans created racism.
not to nitpick, but....
"race" is a human construct; "species" is the word you're looking for.
also, we can argue all day about whether god actually exists or not, but clearly he didnt "create" the human species. he (assuming he exists) may have created the beginnings of life, but that life evolved on its own.
@FTF.Eli Techincally we are all black. But the reason why there are different colors of skin is because of UV Rays in different regions.
@@eternal5930 actually we all aren't black. Whites and Asians are descendants of Neanderthals who mated with homosapiens. Please look it up
God created one race. European and whites created the construct of racism to subvert and enslave others races. I think all races have a caste system but whites invented the hateful cycle of racism.
@@vj1294 "species"......its not that hard people

I'm curious, which "god" is that again? Thor? Zeus? Yahwey? Vishnu? Hera? Ra? Or one of the 2000+ other "gods" that have been worshiped by tens of millions? And is your "god" all powerful? If so does it choose to watch us suffer and die, for the 200,000 that have died of Covid? Or the children that starved to death while you read this? If I was able to cure or feed them and just watched them die wouldn't you think I was a monster? Why does your "god" get a pass? Maybe I'm wrong and your "god" is powerless to stop any of that, either way why worship such a horrible or weak thing? I've been asking these simple questions for decades, can you believe I never get answers, only crazy assertions without any evidence or even worse attacked personally just for asking questions. But I'm sure you won't do that, right?
@@ross-carlson I don't get why people hate on faith :/ people don't have to explain their faith to you, who refuses to even let fellow Faithfuls live in peace. It should be, "I don't quite get it, but good for you". Geez, the incessant need to put others down can be left at the door
@@sci-fiky7054 because religion and faith is also used as a tool for division, often by the faithful themselves. Considering the subject, it was also used to subjugate and supress black dissent.
@@sci-fiky7054 maybe because religion brews racism and sexism?
How many times was the word "slave" mentioned in the bible?
@@ross-carlson normally im the one who does this kinda comment but im so tired of writing hundreds of lines trying to put some facts and logics insides this peoples mind but its just so pointless but the fear of death must be great
Born and raised in the south and I had no idea the term "redneck" came from wearing a red bandana around your neck. Learn something new everyday.
This video here warmed my heart and makes me feel that there is hope for our nation. Thank you very much...if I could "thumbs up" this a 1000 times I would.
😪 If everybody was like you, there would be no civil unrest. I love you😘
Thank you for sharing your voice in this movement! 👏🏾 It gives me great hope that the people will defeat the ruling class.
Also, I hope this incredible breakdown of the history behind the word "redneck" goes viral.
I want to see our whole country loving and caring for each other. Hatred is so beneath us as a species. Humanity first!!!!
I was visiting my good friends in Kentucky, in the Appalachian foothills. I had met them for the first time. We stayed with them all day till the next day. They called themselves hillbillies. They were so kindhearted and treated us something like royalty. I will always have great love for my hillbilly brothers and sisters because of that one encounter.
This makes me think of the Bob Dylan song "Only a Pawn in Their Game."
That is CORRECT
I love this! You MADE ME DAY. This is the LOVE that lies inside the hearts of true Americans. Thank you Thank you THANK YOU.
Here is where the poor and rich can create new life :
Permaculture...check out loads of videos.
Poverty is curable
It’s not for everyone. How do you have time to maintain and start a food garden if you work 2 or 3 jobs, take care of family, have no land or green space (or even extra space in the home to grow indoor plants), and have no disposable cash? It is privileged to stay “poverty is curable” because for people struggling to just SURVIVE every day, it is about the day to day, not 4 months from now. Running on empty. If they come across extra money, it is much better to save.
As communities we could create community food gardens, etc if people have money and if the government allows them to do so, but it’s privileged to make it seem so easy to do.
Sydney Michelle if people come together as a community, with shared work this can be achieved. Some cities have vacant lots that can be legally transformed. There is an urban man that creates gardens on curb sides. He may be called the urban gardener? I forget but look it up. We need help each other.
The problem is it's the RICH we have to cure of it!
Andjulia that’s exactly what I said. As a COMMUNITY we can make it happen. I have started and helped build several urban gardens. But I am not in poverty. The people in poverty were not the ones that had the time to build it. That’s why I said it is privileged to say “poverty is curable” because to me that implies 1) that poverty is just related to the food we eat and 2) it implies that people in poverty should be doing more than they are to get out of poverty.
Sydney Michelle I understand what you at saying and I agree. I think I meant to reply to the original poster.
The man I was thinking of is the gangster gardener. I think it’s wonderful that people like yourself are able to help people this way. I have a backyard that I plan on transforming into a large garden then I can donate the veggies. Keep up the good work!
Is there a website to learn more and share with others?
There is a org mentioned in the video

An uncommon moment where I find myself proud of my Southern heritage. That this could be a thing can restore some faith in humanity.
Never knew that this was the origine of the word "redneck". Be proud of it.
Ì love this. Poor people come in many different colours and speak many languages and the mantra of the rich is and all ways has been DIVIDE AND RULE!!! ALWAYS REMEMBER THEY LIKE YOU AT EACH OTHERS THROATS WHEN YOU SHOULD BE IN EACH OTHERS ARMS💖💜
And sing Kumbya around a fire with marshmallows
No. Unite and fight the strangle hold the rich have on the poor.
Always remember you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars, to change the world. From the United kingdom in Europe, I salute your resolve, resilience and stregth. God bless you.
Thank you my friend across the pond ☺
