@@paulrudd2006 No. Jesse meeting Hitler was not an olive branch. You aren't the Judge of this man, extending from the continuation of the priveledged. NO.
Yeah. Also USA fighting in WW2 against racist Germany, and even 20 years after the war black people weren't allowed to do a lot of things. Why then fighting?

To know this man competed in the Berlin Olympics and took 4 gold medals and now he is speaking on my phone blows my mind. Great pearls of wisdom from a great athlete. The film was good too. Just finished watching it a couple min ago
Your comment is proof that nationalism didn't die with Hitler. People are still segregating via country if not skin color. Why not just say he was a great man, which he was. As Einstein said _"Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."_
His personality seem to be incredible real and trustfull. I mean I would trust this man 100%, today so many people put on a facade and shit. I wish all the world leaders had Jesse Owens personality. Wisdom, humility, intelligence and the charming likeable charcteristics.
God bless this legend's soul. He won 4 Olympic gold medals and came back home to a shitty country like the "Good ol USA" to prejudice, segregation and worked regular jobs to make ends meet and didn't make a dime of his celebrity like most Olympians do nowadays!
Jesse on Luz, "It took a lot of courage for him to befriend me in front of Hitler.… You can melt down all the medals and cups I have and they wouldn’t be a plating on the 24-karat friendship I felt for Luz Long at that moment. Hitler must have gone crazy watching us embrace. The sad part of the story is I never saw Long again. He was killed in World War II."
Please look up the other African Americans that were in the Berlin Olympics in 1936,,one of them even Jackie Robinson's brother! Yep, broke the record right behind Mr.Owens in a worn out pair of shoes. Thank you all for paving the way, let's continue God bless all people!
What a gifted athlete it breaks my heart the way he was treated in those days by his own country America came a long way let’s continue to strive to be the greatest country in the world 🇺🇸
Mohammed Ali (then Cassius Clay) was treated the same way in the US after winning the boxing gold medal at the 1960 Olympics. He was told at a restaurant that "we don't serve niggers".
I feel.he has been forgotten about in the last twenty years or so. For me he should be as reverred as Muhammed Ali. He had an incredibly tough life, a real.symbol of how messed up America was about race.
@k1ngw00d not rap music - and not ALL young black men. "ghetto" talk is derived from a lack of formal education and the environment you grow up in. growing up in queens i used to speak with ghetto slang, nothing wrong with it, still do with my friends. but after going to university i experienced a huge culture shock - nobody talked like me and everyone assumed i was dumb just because of my diction.
This man was pure class. The embodiment of class and good values. Compare this man to Lebrun James. Absolutely nigh and day. And to think of the circumstances he came from compared to lebron. Mr Owen transcended.
It is shameful that our own President FDR snubbed this great athlete when he was representing the U.S. in the Olympics, neither congratulating him or extending him an invitation to the white house. Shameful.
It’s regrettable that he won 4 gold medals 🏅 instead of 3 in Berlin. German officials refused to allow the two Jewish members of the 4x100 relay team to compete and Jesse at first refused to take place in it, but was forced to. He always regretted that the original two men weren’t allowed to run 😐
List of Jewish athletes in the 1936 Olympics.

@@TJsMusicUploads I didn’t say there were no Jewish athletes in the entire Olympic Games, but on that day, with the Hitler in attendance and Owen’s having won 3 golds already, they were specifically told that the two Jewish members would not be permitted to compete. The Nazi party hated blacks as well, but their intolerance of Jews superseded that. It’s well documented.
He did he won 4 gold medals, it was legendary. He was treated much better in Berlin than he was ever in the US, Hitler didn't snub him, FDR was the one who did that. He confirms this in his autobiography and interviews. Makes one wonder what else we have been lied to about.
Southern Nordic you do know that Germany had never seen a black person? And also he was on the usa team, it was not him traveling to Berlin by himself. Blacks had worse opportunities in Germany, unlike the south. Hitler was not gonna treat an American bad it would make Hitler Germany look terrible.
Read a kid's book about him and it is so sad what all he went through after all the glory, had mediocre jobs, and was exploited until he died. Not to mention not being able to eat with his white teammates. There was even a story where there was a diner that didn't allow Blacks so his white teammates bought extra food and brought it out to the car and the owner or manager came out and grabbed the food from them and dumped it on them. How anyone can be full of that much hate I will never understand.

shit he's the best athlete and a better intellectual than most people.
R.I.P.
What a legend
One of the greatest men to ever have lived, rest in peace king.
The GREAT JESSE OWENS
He was such a humble man considering his past hurdles

If every human being would have the kindness of Jesse Owens in our hearts, this world would be a planet without war and hate ❤
What a true athletic hero. Incredible man!
Mr. Owens was very articulate, and this should be widely known. He expresses himself most effectively here and with genuine conviction. Loved it.
such a humble person, the greats are such.
Wonderful gentleman and world class athlete. 💕

Great Great man !!!!

If Luz had not told him to draw a line few inches in the back of the board, things would have been a lot different. Its CRAZY! Huge Respect for both❤️

How many of our athletes today are as well-spoken as Jesse?
**crickets chirping**
I mean he's past & not of this time R.I.P don't forget muhammad ali was great
Lebron
Teriza Mamwad lol 😂😂
But there are more black athletes, these days.. What are you even implying?
Almost all of them. How many racists whites are there who don't know American History?????
The legend, the icon. 🙏
Wow, what a great man.
Thanks Jesse! What a man and a Legend!
Said much in less time such a great mentor J.C OWENS.(JESSE OWENS).
The fact that he feel very welcomed and treated better in germany even with Hitler than his home place
Yeah He was in the Usa team traveling to Germany, not traveling to Berlin as its just him. Germany barley had black people.
Secret to everyone's success lays right here

Hitler refused to meet and congratulate him. Owens describes on video that Hitler never met him.
@@CorettaJG What video is this? I heard he waved at him

This man saw Hitler in the flesh and racism at it's very worst. It blows my mind that I can hear him speak.
Which year is this?
It's right on the main title card...1976
Unleshsye sections us mine was to run 10s at 100m.
I want the truth.
A greater human being than an Olympic legend. 🏆

It is. Unfortunately, it was a political calculation so as not to lose Southern votes.
Yep, sucks he didn’t even pass the anti-lynching bill so he didn’t lose southern voters, he also didn’t invite Jesse for the same reason
