No, we shouldn’t stop talking about it because we are still living the residuals of it.
Exactly! Every group here in this nation harmed by the US government have been repaired. We are the only group who hasn't been financially compensated for harms done to our people. Slavery, Jim Crow, mass incarceration, lynchings, black codes, redlining, horrible medical experiments, etc. Reparations are due from the US government. They owe it and they know it.
Never forget! Just like a certain group of other people suggest.

@@covertLLCYou’re right and this is not talked about often enough.
The thing that angers me with all this is that nobody talks about the economics of slavery. Imagine people worked all their lives and got noe economic benefits from their labor. People now tellus that we just have to eat all the loss.
Who's eating all that loss? In 2024, who should pay? What problem would it solve?

There are also many audio recordings of people who were born into slavery. Given that some people born into slavery could have lived to near 100 (1864-1964?), there are probably many people alive today who met someone born into slavery. This may not seem interesting to some, but it does show how this was not so distant in the past.

Slavery:
The worst thing to ever happen to American Whites (and their progeny).
The best thing to ever happen to African blacks (and their progeny).
Assuming, that is, that enjoying the rich, life-saving/life-enhancing fruits of western civilization is preferable to what, for blacks, would otherwise be an eternity of dwelling about malaria-infested mud huts (with not even so much as "the wheel" anywhere in sight).
Watching this family's journey gave me goosebumps... Theirs is a culture that could teach us much. Mr. Bell, sure looks wonderful for 83 years old!
He has a right to his opinion but it's one of the dumbest ones ever made. Stop talking about slavery? Should Jews stop talking about the Holocaust? Should Americans stop talking about 9/11? What else should we stop talking about? He should have kept that to himself. Forget history then your bound to repeat. Smh.
Noone talks about he holocaust and 9/11 24/7 like you guys talk about the slavery your ancestors suffered. Also the suffering of your ancestors is being misused by the democrats for personal gain. The irony is that the slavers were the democrats. The fact that the demoNcrats have the majority black vote is completely unbelievable to me. The ignorance of the black voter has never been seen in the history of the world.
We should never stop talking about slavery period! Peace
That is why you will always be a slave and there will never be peace between the whites and blacks. I'm a white Christian Serbian man and have been accused of white privilege and my ancestors of slavery and so on. You guys have to be specific when you talk about white people. A large part of the European people never took part in slavery and were actually slaves of arabs and Africans for 500 years. So please educate yourself and God bless you
Reparations reparations reparations
Reparations are the fact that you live in America today and are American. Otherwise go to Africa denounce your citizenship and then you have a case for reparations.

Good Job CNN for showing us these stories which should never be forgotten.Some people in the US still have close connections to slavery and these types of Videos are very educational.Kudos to CNN. Reminds me of the series Black in America which CNN used to run back decades ago.Good Job
This is American history.
We must not loose the knowledge of the hardships and struggles they had to endure and how they stood up and faced those struggles. This knowledge is a treasure. That is not to be bitter over something that cannot be changed. It is not something to be embarrassed about. It is not something to be shy about either. Those people were strong and resilient. They must be remembered. They must be talked about. Everyone in America, and the world for that matter, must know their stories and honor them. This is America's story. It is the world's story. All Americans, yes all Americans, should find pride in their story.
Myopic. Like most kids, I did *not* learn about slavery in school; I learned about *American* slavery in school. Without the context of 13,000 years of constant slaveries worldwide _(serfdoms, white slaves of Barbary, modern day trafficking, etc. etc.),_ students are led to believe America was uniquely evil. And you can see the guilt dynamic passed down to today's youth as well as the rejection of that guilt.
The gentleman is the epitome of the old saying or adage of, "if you take care of the body, the body will take care of you" over the years.

I’m a black veteran as well. My dad was a son of a sharecropper and a ww2 veteran and was unfairly treated after the war but he loved this country. But he held resentment for the treatment of black veterans as well as black people as a whole until his dying day. He never wanted anything but to be treated as an equal to his white counterparts. I really can’t understand why any black person, especially ones with this close connection to slavery and Jim Crow would even suggest forgetting about it. Have they ever heard Jewish people saying that about the holocaust? American Indians saying that about the trail of tears and reservations? I feel that this in itself is a type of black ignorance especially in the south. The powers that be would like nothing else but for the word to forget that slavery happened. I’ll-be-damned before I help them make that happen. In my opinion it’s disrespectful to this man’s father and all other black people that fought and died to defeat slavery to even suggest that it be forgotten.
Conservatives gaslight us by telling us that slavery was a long time ago.

Her father was full blood Native American and she also spent time with him on the reservation. She lived to be 101. I think about and honor my ancestors in everything I do.

What's up with the trash in these comments? This is an amazing story!
Malcolm x always said that liberals are black people's worst enemies. And by the comments we black people have no friends on the right or the left.
Crazy internet people. Smh
Trolls

You can't move forward until they repair the damage.
They need that show finding your roots
I'm so glad to meet him
Where did it say his father was born into slavery... they have no evidence, but all i heard was that his father was a farmer...
Harris is Not Black. Harris is Indian. Lmao hahaha 😁
Her father is black!
Beautiful Story, we love you Mr.Wilbur B.Bell! 💙
It was a Democrat who owned him.
Wrong! Keep talking about it. The Jews talk about it. And you can still move forward. I am a living witness.
Tomorrow may be Father’s Day but Monday’s another holiday. Butt Dial Your Crush Day.
WOW!!!!!!
He is definitely Due Reparations.....It Wasn't all that long ago.
I'm 46 and my Paternal Grandmother was the granddaughter of a Slave.
There you go again cnn..shameless
We still should talk about it, continue to commemorate it, just like they say never forget the Holocaust which took place in another country, then we shouldn’t forget slavery that happened in this country. This country was built on the backs of our ancestors that were enslaved so no we shouldn’t forget nor not talk about it because we still suffer from the system of slavery. No dont hate but teach the younger generation of what happened here in America.
Icecream!! Joey Cannibals Biden.
Actor Morgan Freeman said that we need to stop talking about slavery.
He's been paid off and does not care about his people.
Slavery is still alive and well today in Somalia. A healthy young black teenager can patch as much as $250 USD. If people are upset with slavery, go to Somalia and end of slavery now.
We should clean up our own yard before criticizing someone else's.
I didn't know Somalia was founded on freedom and equality for all like America 🤔
@@roberthollingsworth8940. We have cleaned up American government. We fought a war between the states to end slavery. We have laws in the United States, ending slavery and opposed to slavery. Most recently we have an acted equality laws. We have equal rights amendments to both the state and federal constitutions. We have laws requiring equal pay for equal work. We have done everything that you posted.
@@E-stylz-1967. I didn’t know that either, but I am pointing out that those individuals who oppose slavery might be interested in going to Somalia because slavery is alive and well. Thank you for reading my post and thank you for your response. I hope the remainder of your weekend is enjoyable. Stay safe and stay stay healthy.
@@t.r.campbell6585 Except we haven't completely cleaned things up here. Slavery is still legal in the US as punishment for a crime. It's no coincidence that, with a slavery loophole like that, that the US has the largest prison population in the world as well as one of the highest incarceration rates in the world. There's a huge incentive to incarcerate people, which is probably why so many crimes that don't warrant prison sentences, like simple drug possession, often carry prison sentences.
Man they still had slaves in Mississippi up until the 1960s..
I bet he didn’t smoke narcotics like Hunter.
Please don’t blame the victim.
