      MatthewSquirrel The tools of discrimination, prejudice, ethnocentrism, and hate are used by a person to ensure his or her existence-to continue to climb up the economic ladder of life. In today’s society, like anytime in history, it’s boils down to what one needs to do to ensure one’s survival. As a PEOPLE , I sincerely believe that with self love, self preservation, most especially in maintaining the SAFETY of communities and UNITY, our survival will continue to be ENSURED, despite the facts that forms of inequalities that will continue to exist, almost every where , centuries and decades later! The most important thing is not to be anyone equal, but to continue to have a clear understanding that our survival depends on each other, as a group of people at home and abroad!

    I turn 70 this month. I was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama and none of this information was in any of my high school classes, nor was it readily available elsewhere. Thank you so much for this video! I remain furious regarding the lack of actual education I received during high school. Everything related to the Civil War and our violently racist past was, for lack of a better term, whitewashed in school.

    I love this. Straight information. Not indoctrination or misinformation. (that I can tell as yet). This video has spawned a pretty massive research project. This is the 'systemic racism' that we are now digging out by the roots. Not by destroying cities or creating 'safe spaces'; but standing together, getting educated on TRUTH and FACT, and becoming successful together. Admitting when we are wrong. And admitting that HATING OTHERS IS INSANE, that if you HATE another race: YOU are wrong, confused, and turned away from Love.

    I went through segregation with one of my really young students (around 7-8 yrs old) and she thought that it was made up cause of the things that were done as a whole. Its amazing that the kids now, even when I was young, are horrified that humans threated each other that way. Definitely a good sign of the future.

      3. Did the confederates love enslavement of blacks? YES
      4. Who in 2020 still support confederates? People from the south? YES
      5. And what political party are those people from the south affiliated with? REPUBLICAN PARTY
      6. Why? Because in the MID 20th century THE PARTIES FLIPPED! And the north became mostly Democrat

    I am watching this outside the US and I searched this term "Jim Crow" because I heard it so many times... After watching this video all I can say is that the US has come from very far thanks to all the good people who fought for equality and justice in all races. Without people who stood for what is right imagine how bad the lives of millions of people would have been. The black people have it a lot better; but there are still some areas where I can see there is a modern Jim Crow like the justice system. There are also many groups who want things to stay the same, as it is still common to see groups who are against black people who demand equality like groups who are against BLM movement or the Race Theory... all in all though things are million times better than before thanks for great people who fought for change.

      The term Jim Crow Laws was coined by a NY journalist in 1890s. My take on Jim Crow the character is it wasn't a flattering character however at the time in my opinion based on certain things such as the character being referenced in Uncle Tom's Cabin ( the second largest English language book sold in the 1800s behind the Bible , the most famous piece of abolishionist fiction based on reality), I don't think the character was particularly offensive. If you were to apply such a standard today the gangsta rappers make the black minstrel shows which were also performed by black people look decisively polite and non offensive. I am waiting for the outrage against the modern day performers who are in reality far more offensive. Do I think gangsta rap should be banned no but it should be seen for what it is and hopefully most people consider it fantasy.

    • @rayr5950

      What's in a name? Jim Crow laws were also called Black Laws or Black Codes especially in the Northern states where they existed before, during and even after the so-called Civil War. They were legal codes to discourage even free blacks from moving into and settling into Northern states or making black residents ineligible to vote.

      It hurts so much because despite all of the things that have changed, the Jim Crow system is still active not only in America but even here in South Africa. It's a lot more passive now due to all the sacrifices and blood shed of Black people (and in my country even some white people) over the decades. But still today, the majority of white people truly believe they are superior to any and every other color group, even when they don't say it. They certainly show it.
      Also I just found out from one of my white friends that he paid half the price of the exact same COMP TIA A+ IT qualification we are both studying right now in the very same class. In my last job, I was working with a white junior employee in the cyber security analysis department. He had no IT qualifications, I have a BSc Degree with an Masters in Artificial Intelligence. I had been working their 7 months, he had worked there for a month.

Could you imagine how much more prosperous the country would be if after Slavery, they decided to educate the 20% of blacks in the country and not segregate them into Ghettos and destroy/assassinate their businesses and leaders when they became influential and prosperous?

There are many History books about the struggle to achieve a desegregated society. I confess my ignorance as to why most large cities in America whose politics have been dominated by the Democrat party still have very large racially segregated communities. If anyone knows of any books that delve into this subject and the main cause for this continued segregation I would be interested in reading on the subject.

    I didn't learn about Jim Crow in depth until college. It really needs to be taught earlier in high school, even if its not a deep dive. Its a missing area in the reason why there is a disparity between Black/white wealth, treatment, and the original cause of most of our problems
    Some white people say "Slavery happened a long time ago! No one is around who was a slave or slavemaster!" and they're partially right. The period in history that affects Black people today is the JIm Crow era. They impeded and destroyed all of the progress made by the freeing of slaves from then until...Civil Rights in the 1960s??
    Thats decades where Whites could legally get ahead while (most) Blacks her held down, held back. Some of us thrived but the majority of us were purposely held back
    The mentality of Black inferiority and White Superiority was reinforced during the Jim Crow era, and continues to this day. Otherwise, wouldn't that belief have died out as ALL slavemasters and their families died decades ago?

    I’m Haitian, when I first started learning about Jim Crow back in 7th grade I never understood it since in Haiti we didn’t really these experiences since we had independence since 1804. Even though we had independence France & America still make us suffer to this day. My teacher taught us some of this in 7th grade since it was a predominantly black school she took the risk by teaching us more about this. I was not that old and I had very little knowledge about Black history in the. All we learned in school in Haiti was Haitian history and world history at a very young age. I knew Europeans countries connected to slavery. When I learned about Black American history it bring out anger out me sometimes I would cry while search on the internet, especially when we read Emmett Till. But now I’m older more older, more influenced by history. I’m basically used to the system if evil.

      It’s very real people out here who like and are attracted to kids, dogs, cats, trees, and it’s people who like to masturbate in public parks, are you attracted to and ok with does same thing? No right. Would you know who they are unless they say it? No right.
      But,
      Now if they say they’re struggle and treatment is equivalent to Nazi concentration death camps you would think they are crazy right.

    Lincoln and Grant, especially Grant…my Great Grandmother was a Grant Republican and she told my dad she could remember leaving the plantation heading for Vicksburg to “get her papers” so she could attend one of them colleges Booker T was putting up, 1872.

      Well the first effort has to be to educate the masses. If public schools don't teach our real history then we are all at a disadvantage. We can't improve anything when we deny it's existence. If Betsy DeVos was a real human she could spearhead that. Get new history books written and approved immediately.
