The fact that the viewpoint of black Americans in captive was one of submission is a LIE. Whether we talking about Nat Turner rebellion, John Brown raid on Harpers ferry. black seminoles that fought for freedom/stayed free/took in runaways just for a entire nation come together crush them.

There are no words to be uttered that slavery in America was a choice or humans in chains was 100% submission.
I’ve seen the pictures that bill duke is talking about when I was a kid... it’s not for the faint of heart. The most brutally disturbing pictures I’ve ever seen. But they’re necessary for the people to see. It shows the darkest times in American history and how we were treated during those times. As Mr.Duke said. “You can’t get over that.”

Bill Duke is a legend I grew up on many of his movies is good to see him doing well and so very articulate for us African Americans as far as Kanye he was a good lyricist past tense
Because some of them are ashamed of their ancestors. Most of them won't flat out admit it, but the lengths that they go to in order to keep things like that hidden, speaks volumes imo. I didn't learn about that in school either.
I have so much respect for this actor and didn't know anything about his life until this interview. My respect and admiration have grown tenfold. What an actor! What a man.
Yes, I purchased the book despite the 70.00 price tag. What gets me is some of my so called woke friends cry about the cost but have on 300.00 sneakers 👟. 🤔
Bro, and they wonder why all of these serial killers are spawned. You can't do this monstrous stuff for centuries and then all of a sudden take it from them and expect them to be mentally sane enough to handle it. Their families are cursed with the residual effects of this behavior. Some folks families weren't monsters like this, but it's scary to think how top-heavy the ratio is of people that are spawn of these sickos. To think how many families have passed on these sick practices with different and modern methods.

So to say the data on that is unreliable would probably be accurate.
We all know that hate is ungodly and that is the most disturbing things in life it was the worst thing that I ever witnessed and never will forgive whites for doing to our brothers
I also saw the change and felt that when Kanye's mother passed he was never the same. His mother seemed to have kept him leveled and grounded and when he lost her he lost himself. He been struggling to come out of it ever since. He does not have any other family close to him that has been made known other than his wife. I liked Kayne from day one, and I hold hope that he finds his way.
I do like that he still speaks about Kanye with a sense of compassion and respect. It's easy to let anger make you just say "F*ck him" and move on, but he doesn't let his anger and disappointment not see him as a human being. When you see your enemies as human beings, you can still be compassionate. You can still reach out and show them your side without causing more violence and grief. You can still treat them with dignity.

As a White Kid that Grew up w/2Black Best Friend's 1/2Black Child I juzt never saw Color ,My Mom Grew up in the Project's w/4Bro'&Sis. &it makez Me Sick's how History was🤔
As a Mexican with a white mother 2 black uncles , black cousins , a gay uncle that date a black dude , half japanese cousins, half Cambodian cousins, my granpa was dark skinned mexican grandma white I definitely saw color and culture because thats the reality. Black dudes are the ones that point out that im different and not accepted. Where you from , you aint allowed over here. Phony alpha males tryna be dpminant for once in their life
For what it's worth I believe this man. If America can go so far as to condemn an innocent child to death for murder and expect us all to get over it, they are joking. They need to own up to what they did.......
Everyone has a main source of love & when it’s removed from your life, it warps you emotionally. Kanye losing his mother damaged him more than that accident. If he’s able to replace where he gets his love fix from, everyone will see the beautiful soul he has always been capable of being. He should start with god his wife & children.
Bill Duke, Dick Gregory, Dr Sebi and countless others are Pinnacles of the black community. Raising conciousness, raising awareness of the horrors that the black community has gone through and raising up to an area of greatness, leading and showing the way to knowledge, wisdom, understanding, power.
This Bill Duke discussion about the oppression of the African American race in the past and how its still relevant today is far superior to the way goddfrey and lord Jamar talk about it. This guy shows passion in ways those guys can't. Not saying they aren't passionate but Bill has one of those auras that empowering figures have that can silence a room with his soft spoken wisdom. Love this guy!
One question, What can you do about it, i mean how you going to punish or get mad at the ones who actually done it, how do you punish them for there crimes against blacks when it happened 150 yrs ago, You hate them, Hate who there all dead, You are letting them live in space inside your head and there nothing you can do about it, so they are still holding you as a slave inside your head when you yourself was never a slave and the worse thing about it is YOU are doing it to yourself no one else is doing it those people are dead. Until you let it go they will continue to live inside your head with hate against someone who is not even here anymore. You are perpotraitinbg the situation inside your head to hate and punish someone who is or already been dead over 100 yrs. Think about it, You are helping the people you hate live inside your head and there dead. Your Livid? you should be livid at yourself, you cannot get anything or punish dead people your brain is living on dead end street move on.
3:45/ God, my mother feels the same exact away about Kanye's mental state! Leave it to the older generation of people to nail it completely in regards to youthful connections. When his mother gave him that inner strength to tell the world what it is, good Lord, Kanye was killing it! Once she died, a part of him died. Hell, he went looking for a motherly figure in the form of Kim Kardashian. That should tell you all you need to know about the severed soul that is 2020 Kanye! Thank you, Bill Dukes, and stay strong my brother....🇵🇷🇺🇸😎
I glad an elder said it cuz I said that right after she passed, she was his equilibrium she brought him back to earth when he gets lost in his genius. A piece of Kanye went with his mother.
Brother Duke is on point. From our elders comes knowledge and truth. Until the young ones listen there is no way for our future to progress. We are still on the plantation in ways. 24hr news and music. The internet spilling more lies than truths. In the end it becomes impossible to know fact from fiction. Pick up a book and turn everything else off and learn. Mr. Duke I still see you as Abdul a black militant who loves his people. Blessings Brother.
I’m only 26 ..... my family owns land in Mississippi we have an entire block almost the length of a football field. After my grandpas older sister died white people were trying to take the land from my family.... long story short one of my cousins was found hanging from a tree on the property during the dispute... that was only in like 2007. So you can imagine how whites were treating blacks when there weren’t any consequences for their actions smfh sickening....
My husband said the reason he left Hinesville Georgia is because in his naval uniform home on leave he still had to step in the street and bow to let white folks pass.we are late 50s children he went into the navy around 60s later. He never went back home not even when his dad died and they were land tenant farmers he never forgot 😔😒
In Defense of Kanye, it was a statement that was TOO dumb to have been actually said, therefore all that's left for us is to do is try and understand what was actually meant. And when you do that, you realize that what he said wasn't as controversial as the Idea that Africans decided to be enslaved by whites because they wanted to. Context is key, do your part if you expect Kanye to do his.
How did we become so far removed from what happened to our ancestors? To think about all these black men downing the black woman now & vice versa it saddens me. I've become introverted these last 5 years after finally learning my history.
I really like Bill Duke...an amazing man. I don't know how he he is so strong when so many give way to hate. Just listening to him... makes me admire his intellect.
He has a couple of interviews on Film Courage. They're all great! My favorite is "how many fingers am i holding up?" If you have time check it out. How intelligent and precise this man is, without even taking a second to think about his response is mind blowing.
Yea it’s misquoted and taken out of context, “400 years of slavery, sounds like a choice to me.” he’s pointing out the mental behind it. What people also don’t understand is the statement poses a threat to those who try to oppress us minorities because the last thing any racist who has financial and moral power is, that we have choices. The other problem is that after the fact it was a misquoted and taken out of context a lot of us black people, now cut him off which is actually not helping but rather damaging us. All it takes is a bit of misunderstanding and well set our own on fire. It’s why in what’s free Jay Z mentioned that not just he red hats got all this fucked up but the other side does too, because you can’t free yourself mentally to take in account the actual message and instead react of pure emotion as oppose to logic. Which is why despite the differences politically a brother isn’t going to cancel out another brother especially if they been down for each other for years. The problem with this interview is if taken in account what Vlad asked, Bill Duke has a point. Yet the media and most people can’t grasp the actual message because they are targeting the Maga hat and trump support not the actual message. We don’t care to learn about generational wealth but let excuses to keep us on hourly jobs yet we complain about our circumstances, mental...we believe that if a fellow minority is a trump supporter, he/she can’t still fight for us...that’s mental. We got work to do as a whole and this interview only supports that. Constant slandering on Kanye gets us as a community no where.
He said "When you hear about slavery for 400 years -- for 400 years?! That sounds like a choice. Like you was there for 400 years, and it’s all of y’all? It’s like, we’re mentally imprisoned.”
@afrikan08 doing that would have been a straight up suicide mission. White people had money, weapons and a bigger population. If every slave would have revolted half of y'all wouldnt even exist. Common sense
I really hate that people are taking Kanye salve comment the wrong way which was very true. Black folks have never stood up for ourselves to fight back the oppressor. It makes my skin crawl to hear black ppl talk like we couldn’t fight back at all even to this day. We not willing to die for anything except bull shit we will come together to kill each other but want come together to fight the ppl that came together to dominate us... crazy. We need to take that black panther movie quote to heart from Michael B Jordan

WEB Du Bois saw a man's pickled knuckles for sale in Atlanta in 1899 look up the lynching of Sam Hose
That pause before his answer said it all
I'd like to meet Mr Duke. He's one of the most talented people I've ever seen on the big screen. ..... Marsha.
For what it's worth I believe this man. If America can go so far as to condemn an innocent child to death for murder and expect us all to get over it, they are joking. They need to own up to what they did.......
Everyone has a main source of love & when it’s removed from your life, it warps you emotionally. Kanye losing his mother damaged him more than that accident. If he’s able to replace where he gets his love fix from, everyone will see the beautiful soul he has always been capable of being. He should start with god his wife & children.
Bill Duke, Dick Gregory, Dr Sebi and countless others are Pinnacles of the black community. Raising conciousness, raising awareness of the horrors that the black community has gone through and raising up to an area of greatness, leading and showing the way to knowledge, wisdom, understanding, power.
He didn't say slavery was a choice!!! He said the slave like mentality is a choice! Get it right
This Bill Duke discussion about the oppression of the African American race in the past and how its still relevant today is far superior to the way goddfrey and lord Jamar talk about it. This guy shows passion in ways those guys can't. Not saying they aren't passionate but Bill has one of those auras that empowering figures have that can silence a room with his soft spoken wisdom. Love this guy!
Very classy mr Duke. I'm more like D.L. Hugely
@ivory phillips go fuck yourself
This should be Bill Duke's 3rd or 4th interview on Vlad TV honestly. Excellent content.
I agree 💯% , the times that I've heard 'they need to get over it ' made me fkn livid smh
One question, What can you do about it, i mean how you going to punish or get mad at the ones who actually done it, how do you punish them for there crimes against blacks when it happened 150 yrs ago, You hate them, Hate who there all dead, You are letting them live in space inside your head and there nothing you can do about it, so they are still holding you as a slave inside your head when you yourself was never a slave and the worse thing about it is YOU are doing it to yourself no one else is doing it those people are dead. Until you let it go they will continue to live inside your head with hate against someone who is not even here anymore. You are perpotraitinbg the situation inside your head to hate and punish someone who is or already been dead over 100 yrs. Think about it, You are helping the people you hate live inside your head and there dead. Your Livid? you should be livid at yourself, you cannot get anything or punish dead people your brain is living on dead end street move on.
3:45/ God, my mother feels the same exact away about Kanye's mental state! Leave it to the older generation of people to nail it completely in regards to youthful connections. When his mother gave him that inner strength to tell the world what it is, good Lord, Kanye was killing it! Once she died, a part of him died. Hell, he went looking for a motherly figure in the form of Kim Kardashian. That should tell you all you need to know about the severed soul that is 2020 Kanye! Thank you, Bill Dukes, and stay strong my brother....🇵🇷🇺🇸😎
Without Sanctuary is the name of that website where they show post cards of lynchings.
I glad an elder said it cuz I said that right after she passed, she was his equilibrium she brought him back to earth when he gets lost in his genius. A piece of Kanye went with his mother.
Brother Duke is on point. From our elders comes knowledge and truth. Until the young ones listen there is no way for our future to progress. We are still on the plantation in ways. 24hr news and music. The internet spilling more lies than truths. In the end it becomes impossible to know fact from fiction. Pick up a book and turn everything else off and learn. Mr. Duke I still see you as Abdul a black militant who loves his people. Blessings Brother.
Powerful interview
After his mother died Kanye went completely crazy.
Its usually the crazy ones that end up right though.
cuz he killed his mom... just like bruno mars to his mom, and jennifer hudson to her mom... its a sick world we live in
His reaction after hearin Kayne's name is priceless... I felt the same way
Real AF!
Just googled old lynching photos and I completely lost my appetite (was eating cereal) the brutality many ppl have in their hearts is unbelievable SMH
Koonye West is under the Kardashian curse, it's not his fault really
I’m only 26 ..... my family owns land in Mississippi we have an entire block almost the length of a football field. After my grandpas older sister died white people were trying to take the land from my family.... long story short one of my cousins was found hanging from a tree on the property during the dispute... that was only in like 2007.
So you can imagine how whites were treating blacks when there weren’t any consequences for their actions smfh sickening....
What a guy, bill duke you are a certified legend sir. 🙏💯
My husband said the reason he left Hinesville Georgia is because in his naval uniform home on leave he still had to step in the street and bow to let white folks pass.we are late 50s children he went into the navy around 60s later. He never went back home not even when his dad died and they were land tenant farmers he never forgot 😔😒
Don’t forget to ask if Nas is a wack ‘beat picker.’
Bill Duke is a sage❤️
I am convinced that Kanye dropped all these deep lyrics not because he was enlightened but because he actually said it because of self hate
Watched several times!!! Great interview......😔 sad FACTS! KNOWLEDGE! 💪🏾💯
In Defense of Kanye, it was a statement that was TOO dumb to have been actually said, therefore all that's left for us is to do is try and understand what was actually meant. And when you do that, you realize that what he said wasn't as controversial as the Idea that Africans decided to be enslaved by whites because they wanted to. Context is key, do your part if you expect Kanye to do his.
1. Okay... sure it was a choice... a choice the African people didn't make to be enslaved.
2. Are you black?
This does not make any sense
A great actor, very underrated loved his role in "The Limey"
How did we become so far removed from what happened to our ancestors? To think about all these black men downing the black woman now & vice versa it saddens me. I've become introverted these last 5 years after finally learning my history.
I really like Bill Duke...an amazing man. I don't know how he he is so strong when so many give way to hate. Just listening to him... makes me admire his intellect.
Its funny, a population that doesn't want to be generalized, generalizes
He has a couple of interviews on Film Courage. They're all great! My favorite is "how many fingers am i holding up?" If you have time check it out. How intelligent and precise this man is, without even taking a second to think about his response is mind blowing.
National Security🤪🤙🏾
It is always refreshing to see and hear intelligent men.
This guy looks like he was BBQ'd before this interview...
I need wisdom like this man
Wow
CAN YOU SAY POWERFUL MOST DEFINITELY 🎉MUCH RESPECT 🙏 DO.🎉10-4
Can someone explain the kanye phrase? I feel its misquoted
Yea it’s misquoted and taken out of context, “400 years of slavery, sounds like a choice to me.” he’s pointing out the mental behind it.
What people also don’t understand is the statement poses a threat to those who try to oppress us minorities because the last thing any racist who has financial and moral power is, that we have choices.
The other problem is that after the fact it was a misquoted and taken out of context a lot of us black people, now cut him off which is actually not helping but rather damaging us. All it takes is a bit of misunderstanding and well set our own on fire.
It’s why in what’s free Jay Z mentioned that not just he red hats got all this fucked up but the other side does too, because you can’t free yourself mentally to take in account the actual message and instead react of pure emotion as oppose to logic. Which is why despite the differences politically a brother isn’t going to cancel out another brother especially if they been down for each other for years.
The problem with this interview is if taken in account what Vlad asked, Bill Duke has a point. Yet the media and most people can’t grasp the actual message because they are targeting the Maga hat and trump support not the actual message.
We don’t care to learn about generational wealth but let excuses to keep us on hourly jobs yet we complain about our circumstances, mental...we believe that if a fellow minority is a trump supporter, he/she can’t still fight for us...that’s mental. We got work to do as a whole and this interview only supports that. Constant slandering on Kanye gets us as a community no where.
He said "When you hear about slavery for 400 years -- for 400 years?! That sounds like a choice. Like you was there for 400 years, and it’s all of y’all? It’s like, we’re mentally imprisoned.”
@afrikan08 doing that would have been a straight up suicide mission. White people had money, weapons and a bigger population. If every slave would have revolted half of y'all wouldnt even exist. Common sense
Mental slavery
@@dickfitzwell3461 hes right it was a choice. They chose not to get shot in the back with a springfield rifle for fleeing captivity
Damn! the control with his words! dam. he not thinking what to say, he is expressing the realness of what he is saying.
Boul like 1000
Saying that to someone who grew up in his era is the equivalent of his line,”You know you done fucked up right?!
I really hate that people are taking Kanye salve comment the wrong way which was very true. Black folks have never stood up for ourselves to fight back the oppressor. It makes my skin crawl to hear black ppl talk like we couldn’t fight back at all even to this day. We not willing to die for anything except bull shit we will come together to kill each other but want come together to fight the ppl that came together to dominate us... crazy. We need to take that black panther movie quote to heart from Michael B Jordan
PABLOBARBICI why don’t you do it? Calling others cowards, I bet you haven’t done shit to a white dude but skin and grin...punk ass
