Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson TELLS HARROWING TALES of RACISM in America!!!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 มิ.ย. 2024
- Jesse talks about an important answer given by Reggie Jackson to a simple question from Alex Rodriguez about being in the Major Leagues. Jackson chronicles the racism he was forced to endure at the hands of White people throughout his career. This answer should be instructive for people who stupidly argue that racism hasn't existed in America for a long time and act as though it is ancient history.

This is the truth that Ron Desantis Greg Abbott don't want you to know. They call black history critical race theory. Black history is history, period!
They think if we don't talk about it, people will forget the evil and maybe some will BUT GOD NEVER FORGETS, MATTER OF FACT HE REMEMBERS STILL. DOUBLE SHALL BE THEIR REWARD.
Absolutely Black history and American history not a side note
That's thing about The thing about race theory is taught in college The people have taken a lot that becoming lawyers.What is his republican soccer mode
2+2=5
@@truefacts404 It's a minor note. Never before in history has a group garnered so much attention for accomplishing so little.
As a white person, I made comment after comment over the years on many different TH-cam videos on my thoughts on racism; my views will never change. Out of all the wars America has ever been in, racism and the slavery and brutality that black people have endured is by far the most heinous and vilest of our history. I cannot even understand the illogic of how the color of a person's skin determines their social stature. This mindset is disgusting, and those who entertain this kind of mindset are less than human; you might as well be a bug under my shoe. Blessëd Be to the black community! You are a beautiful and powerful people. This should have never been a thing, and I am so sorry
Now let's imagine how the native Americans feel about these vile pack of human puses talking about making America great again on lands stolen from them nonetheless, stay blessed, strong and positive always because you're an empathetic soul.
I don't know about the should, because it did, and that's the way it is (we humans tend to be omnipotent about such things). That does not, however, make it any less heinous or despicable, sad or disgusting, nor understandable.
@@shelbykuenning2575 humans are not omnipotent.
*logic.
Otherwise, yes.
@kcbh24
illogic-(noun):
reasoning or thought which is not logical.
If Reggie Jackson experienced that type of racism, just think of the type of racism the average Black person had to go through.
That is for real.
RACISM IS STILL TODAY..AND IT IS DISGUSTING ..
Facts!
Truth is scary but facts
Jackie Robinson stories had to be way worst
That wasn't just Reggie Jackson that was black life in America. Our ancestors gave 250 years of free labor and still no respect.
Why would anybody respect you when you work for free that long? I respect Nat Turner, the Haitians, and any other rebels.
Also Harriet Tubman and any other runaways.

@@karenfife7914He's not dead... what the hell are you talkin about?
@@redmed10 Precisely
Glad he told his truth. This is AmeriKKKa
You hit the nail on head
The concept of "his truth" is absurd and maintains the fiction that there is not a relative absolute truth as well as embracing outright lies in some cases. Reggie has never hidden the reality of his minor league experience, nor did most other players of his generation but they either didn't have his platform or his intellectual heft: the guy is seriously intelligent. The "truth" is that their experiences of racism in Jim Crow America and beyond were universal and shocking.
The thing is...are those who lump all white people in the kkk category are just as bad as those who say all black and brown people are bad
Judge a person by what they do, not the color of the skin
Remember that the democrates created the KKK. They also wrote and implemented every Jim crow law
That's Socialism for you.
The ones who never want to talk about racism, are the ones who still practice racism.👍🏽
#reparations
💯💯💯💯💯
U got that right 👍
Thank you!!!
There is a difference between talkng about the facts of racism, as opposed to the centuries of bs and victims class- propaganda.
The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964. That generation is still alive.
And taught their kids and they taught their kids who are living next to you now.
I was born in 1964. yes I'm almost 60. Aint nothing changing in America. matter fact it's getting worse. . it's just a little slicker now. sad that with all this technology there are still stupid ass people
Yes, those people who upheld and perpetrated white supremacy and racism are still alive. I know this because I @65 had to go to the back of the store to shop in it. I couldn’t go through the front door, but I could spend my money. I couldn’t go to the whites only laundromat I had to go to the black laundromat, which is in the same building divided by a wall. When the white section got the new washers and dryer‘s.p the old ones were placed in the black section of the laundromat couldn’t go into certain restaurants. If I went to what used to be the dime store ( Ben Franklin) I was followed as a child. I was called the n word like it was my name, I was told to go back to Africa. I’ve never been there by no fault of my own you see my ancestors were brought here. We didn’t get to go through Ellis Island. We didn’t have a choice.
Yeah and they are denying reparations to black people and giving migrants who just got here handouts ! This country could burn but I’m getting myself out of it first. Not that I have been denied anything but still they have blood on its hands.
And in congress
NBA players still talk about the racists in Boston and Utah
Yes they did. Look up Bill Russell and his experience.
Racism is alive and well in this country and still doing just fine
@charliecoley2423 And anyone who denies it is a liar. Most of the time, when people are talking racist sh!#, the other white people around are so used to it that they will hardly say a word unless they have relatives who are black or a strong conviction about how incorrect the racist are. I have witnessed it over and over and over again.
Yep. Racism is very real . Woe unto you Edom on that great and terrible day 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
And yet still play for those cities. If I was that talented I would not give my talents to a city with a racist reputation.
Until there is no racism everywhere we must continue to talk about racism.
Until there's no White supremacy
@robsquared2....Talking is useless. Action is required to root out the evil spirit of racism. Send it back to hell where it came from.
@robsquared2, Only when Yahuha comes to cleanse the Earth of this stench. Only then sadly.
Racism is as every bit a disease as an attitude! ...Just like cancer, it's not going anywhere talk or not
Let's start by agreeing to pay the Descendants of American Slavery Cash Reparations and get a Hate Crime Bill designed ONLY for Black People who are the descendants of American 🇺🇲 Slavery and Jim Crow 🐦⬛ and The Civil Rights Movement in the 40s 50s 60s and beyond.😎💯
Overt and covert racism is a major reality for ALL Black people in America. Thank you Reggie
I was born in 1960. I am black, born in MS. My family came to Chicago in 1964 to reunite with my father who had moved there months earlier to find work. The first words I learned to read were "WHITES ONLY". My mom rode over 24 hours in the back of a Greyhound bus with 4 small kids. It was a nightmare for me and I was only 4 years old. Decades later when I joined the military racism was still rampant in America and unfortunately there seems to be no end in sight. Maybe my great grandkids will live in a world where they are not judged immediately by the color of their skin.
They weren't ready for his answer. He didn't sugar coat it and I'm glad. Too many want Black people to smile and show grace and strength in the face of oppression, but have no interest in stopping the oppression. I'm glad Reggie Jackson said what he said and how he said it. Good on him!
Dang, the way he told it. I had to sit down when he talked about the food and hotels. I ended up with my hands over my heart as if his words were healing a part of me.
He was my favorite baseball player when I was a kid. The courage to tell it how it was in reality makes me appreciate him even more. We can’t go back to the way things were and must be better than that as a nation.
He has always told the facts the way they were. His bravery is just not common. Big up's to truth. Respect 💯
Reggie Jackson spoke his truth to power about his experience being a black Baseball Player in this racist country that we Black Americans people love so much I get so angry or embarrassed when I hear some of my favorite sisters and brothers or unfamous sell their souls to a racist corporation business or politicians because they want to forget who back they have to step on from our past of this horrible and inhuman treatment of Black Folks it's disrespectful and shameful to care more about money or fame and not the struggle our ancestor live through we never forget our past We must stand together when I'll right and liberties are being threat by a racist agenda in this country leaders like MLK, Mandel, and other have fought and have died for our freedom to live as a decent human being in this world God Bless and VOTE BLUE on November 5, 2024 election
I believe this was a powerful statement... if only there had been punctuation! 😮
A group of Americans don’t want to talk about Racism in America. They don’t want to Learn Empathy

How?
I am 45. I fought in race riots against Mexicans and Whites. America acts like e are supposed to romanticize an American experience we never got.
Say it LOUD, Jesse. We all should be ashamed that this BS is still happening in our lifetime
"We" . . . . no, not "we" but perhaps a certain group of people who invented, lawfully created, and continue to build upon racism, the evil that beholds America in sin should be ashamed. But of course, the work of darkness never ceases and shame is never at the forefront of it.
This is American History, and it hurts.
Yes, it is and yes, it does.😢
More accurately, this is American reality.
It hurt our Ancestors & it still hurts their Descendants! There is & will not be any Peace- as long as the racists think Blacks are sub human & inferior to them! Most think that way!!😢😮

They're committing almost all the hate crimes.
@@RobertGivens-xr5yr prove it
Its a shame that so MANY B1ack people who face abuse are still "expected" to forgive and forget their abuser and the abuse inflicted upon them.
I can't anymore. . .any my therapist confirmed that I shouldn't. That's too much trauma to hold inside your body (trying to forgive/forget racist actions just to please and appease somebody's misinterpretation of scripture) so don't wait for me rush to nothing when trying to heal from the stench of sick people's vomit.
Why do you think people like Ron DeSantis are banning books? They don't want us to know what their families did, and they know if history is not taught these things will be repeated.
Think its not out in the open now, I have seen countless youtubers talk about it, I have seen more and more documentaries discuss it. Out of all the things discussing racism and cruel acts, it's always white people, if anything you rarely see any of the hateful things non white people did.
You mean own Slaves like Kamala Harris family
Ron DeSantis family was living in poverty in Italy and was treated like second class citizens when they arrived in America seeking employment as domestic workers. .

And almost all of it is coming from blacks.
Thank you Jesse for shining the light on racism and white supremacy here in America
As a black man living in Detroit Michigan. I take my life into my own hands. Whenever I walk out of my front door. I've been pulled over by the police. Because I fit the description of another black man. Whom I look nothing like. I've been followed by security guards, when shopping. Everything that Reggie Jackson said. Most black men have experienced. Even 2 this very day.
“You don’t fit the detailed description of the person we’re looking for. But you’re black. You’ll do. Y’all look alike anyway.”
I am sorry for the false harassment you have endured. It is true that white folks have a hard time telling faces apart in african americans. In oakland the criminals know this so nearly all crimes committed by blacks are against white (usually elderly) people. It's because the criminals are highly intelligent and don't want to be caught! But then the whites grow overly fearful because they are disproportionate targets due to their own visual deficit !!!

True Story, my Father, was a 9yr old when he went with my Grandpa to Rickwood Field to see then, minor leaguer, Reggie Jackson play. He witnessed, along with GPA, white people in the stands scream and yell all game at Reggie, racist names/things. Made him almost cry as a little boy. He said it changed him. For the better. A few years later, my Dad was a HS Basketball Coach, in Alabama after college. He was the 1st coach in his county, to field an integrate team. He saw the same BS but much closer up. He tears up today, at 85yrs old, talking about how wrong segregation/racism was back then. That 1st team he coached, was Runner-Up State Champions.

Thanks for sharing!
Has your dad every said why people were so weird and racist yet proud about being both?

My parents are in their 60s and lived through this in Birmingham Alabama. My mom was spit on and called the n word so it is upsetting when people act like everything ended with slavery.
Wow! I'm so sorry to hear that 😥
Folks forget (or it's not taught) that the ending of Jim Crow occurred in 1968/69 . . . .the residue is just 55 years old and counting.
Same with my mom who grew up down the road in Anniston Alabama in the 60s and 70s
I am from Alabama and I was the only black in 1st grade in 1965 at a formally all white school. Some white mothers escorted their child to the class room and stayed for a while. I was called N***** by several of the students who sat with their parents who said nothing.!! Finally the teacher said "You will not use that word in my class" We were then escorted to the auditorium where several teachers walked on stage and announced that they would never teach a black child and walked out!! I faced racism from 1st-12th grade. It's 2024 and not much has changed!!!
There were more lynchings after slavery. The civil rights act didn't stop racism. People don't understand that we were still afflicted with racism even unto this day. Granted it isn't as bad as it was but it is still going on. There are still bad situations people are dealing with be abuse of it.

Thank You for playing this interview.......as a white woman, I am shocked at how many people I have contact with daily who completely ignore the racism which continues today...I remember when Reggie had his own candy bar....
Thank you for sharing this. My parents were denied the house of their choice because they were black. My in-laws who are white refused to sign a petition to exclude blacks from their neighborhood. The Boston bussing riots were experienced by a kid in my church youth group. As you said, many want to characterize racism as something that happened long ago, but My family has first hand experience, I have first hand experience. It is a shame Oklahoma denied the victims of the Black Wall Street massacre their day in court. They were personally wronged and deserved to have those horrific events litigated and receive compensation for their losses.
Sorry, nothing has changed. If anything, it's reverting back, unfortunately.
That's the make America great again, like it was pre civil rights
So sad. While there has been some changes for the good. It's not looking good. They want to go backwards.
FACTUALLY FACTUAL FACTS AND TRUTHFULLY TRUTHFUL TRUTHS!
They want to make American great again... for them, not for us.
@spyder1364 The myth of greatness is exactly what keeps this poorly organized, illegally structured settler colony in the pitiful shape it's in. What nation wants it's people poor, sick, badly educated, miserable and unhappy, talking crap about making America great "again" instead of taking action to actually be great.
He didn't go through it he survived it
At what cost😮
Spike Lee’s “Four Little Girls” documentary about the four murdered children Reggie spoke about is one of the most traumatizing things I’ve watched. The type of hatred those monsters had to commit such a heinous crime is unconscionable. And many people who committed such heinous crimes are still alive and/or taught their children and grandchildren that same type of hatred.
I go and went through it and I'm 65 years old. As a child, teenager, adult and now as a Sr citizen racism is alive. Not enough good people 😮
I greatly appreciate all you do Marine, especially your efforts to keep Donnie Boyo and the Hard Right MAGA extremists out of office. Thank you.
Jesse... As a 77 year old African American female, I appreciate your bringing forth these racial issues. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Until I graduated from high school in the 1960's, blacks could not shop at certain retail stores, eat at many restaurants, attend colleges and universities with whites, etc. The worst part of all was that, if you were not a professional, you could only work on jobs performing menial tasks. This is the world White Supremacists don't want our children to know about.

If everyone has heard it "ad nasueam" as you claimed then today's American experiment has failed due to certain people's desire (who identify as white and their minions like Candace Owen's, Tim Scott, and the now dead Herman Cain types) to make America conform to the public relation lies it tells the world.
A large amount of White Americans and those that seek alignment with them are on a campaign to reinvent the American image and the clear power hungry, fearful and hate filled White types like the Daughters of the Confederacy. They push an ideological agenda that framed white men as the new victims of institutional racism, deny history and reject reality. So they can maintain power while playing victim.
Thank you Mr. Jackson.
Once again Dollemore… you’re reporting and calling out racist, discriminatory issues and facts so many are not brave enough to admit or report ❤❤❤thank you and Blessings
His experience is what Maga calls Great...Vote 2024
I saw Reggie Jackson play with the L.A. Dodgers back in the day - Go Blue! I think he’s wonderful for speaking out about his experiences of the racism he endured from ignorant hateful bigots. 🗽💙
Correction: He played for the California Angels, not the L.A. Dodgers. Everything else is spot on.
He was a radio commentator for the Angels for a while.
I'm 60, my childhood barber was the son of a civil war veteran.
WOW! That must have been fascinating if he retold some of his dad's stories. I'm curious: did you get to meet his dad?
@sharondowney9571 A lot of Freedman died in 1940's and 50's . Harriet tubman died 1913. Slavery ended and jim Crow started lie'n about reconstruction and separate but equal. Only revisionist think Freedman descendants aka FBA'S or far removed from that inhumanity. I'm 52 and my grandmother was born in 1911 grandfather 1908. A non foreigner non immigrant. Reparations heals
I’m 64, and I just lost a friend whose grandparents were past slaves. He was almost 90 years old. History is closer than we want to believe.
@@roxannecarr8355I'm 66 and my great grandfather was a slave. My grandfather died when I was too young to remember. My dad never knew his grandfather either.
I'm Fba Foundational Black American and you got a new subscriber brother thank u for not being willfully ignorant
Man thank you so much for bringing attention to this matter. Love you
I'm a black man ten years younger than Reggie and have been through the same thing. Went to a restaurant and was told to eat outside in the heat while we watched white people eating inside, we refused to eat, they tried to make us pay and we drove off. Even now it's still happening, it's just more subtle, at least before Trump got into office. I ask my white friends how many times have you been pulled out of your car and searched because your car registration expired, or had the police stop you walking down the street because someone said you looked suspicious. It still goes on, but it seems the older I get, the less it happens, thank God. So personally, I thank you Jesse and other white folks for speaking up for black folks, I say if it wasn't for some decent white people, we black people wouldn't have come as far as we have, and we would have never had our first black president.
Why would you stay there and eat? Why didn’t you leave?
As a 35-year-old black man, I have always known I wouldn't have made it in times from the past. I too, have too much pride to submit myself to the evil of others. Tremendous praise to Mr. October for exposing this raw reality to people uninterested in knowing the truth.
We had more pride in the past than we have now. Our ancestors defeated those racists not these so called full of pride current people.
It’s nice to have this open honest conversation so together as a nation we can heal.
Thank you Jesse! I watched Mr Jackson play ball & since my parents were "woke" I also knew about the horrors he & too many others experienced😢😢Thank you for putting this out in the front view!😊
Glad he brought this up. Not much has changed since he was attacked racially.
I saw this event happening in my city. I'm so ashamed of the history here in Birmingham, Alabama. I am ashamed, but I've spent my life trying to be the best person I can. I agree that reparations would be a great start, Jesse. It's not for me to say what else would help, but our country (the government) OWES the black people in our country. 💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊
This was a balanced historical truth he told and it was well-balanced. He talked about racism and credited some high-character whites who helped him. If this kind of history can't be taught, and if you don't want to hear this you don't want to hear truth.
Coming from a Black Native love your content fair and balanced 💯🔥😁❤️🖤💚🦁
This is what these disconnected clowns don't/don't want to think about. The actual terror black people lived/live under. This breaks my god damned heart.
Maybe focus on tomorrow instead of yesterday?
@@ron88303 maybe get a job?
@@ron88303 I guess that's helps the white hood sit a little easier, eh?
@@ron88303 Yesterday informs what happens today. If my tire went flat yesterday, today I have to fix it, or tomorrow I'll have a problem. Seems like we never fixed that flat tire and just drove the country around grinding that wheel into the dirt. That metaphor just kept getting better and better.
The thing about racial terror back then that many people don't think about is that there was no place you could call for help. Call the police? They were probably in on it or wouldn't respond. Somebody fire bombs your house or car in the middle of the night. All you could do was take it.
CRT is code for wanting to deny this story of us.
We allowed this to happen
Thank GOD for our allies in this ongoing conflict!!!
If given the same opportunity, black people would thrive so much more. Black people had many thriving communities like Rosewood, Tulsa (black wall street), Colfax, Wilmington massacre, Atlanta massacre, Elaine Arkansas massacare where one interaction with a white person caused their communities to be burned down and many lynched hundreds sometimes even thousands and left the living black people to flee and start from scratch. Goldman Sachs said black women were their best investment because black women value entrepreneurship.
Reggie is a member at my church. So humble. So awesome. A real Christian.
I'm 71, and I did indeed watch Reggie play baseball. I'm so sad to hear what he went through. At the same time, I'm glad he's choosing to talk about it.
@ 67 years Old I saw things I shouldn't have seen.
God bless Reggie Jackson and all of the people who lived through the tragedy and horror of Jim Crow America. 🙏❤
I'm a 60 year old woman and although I know racism is still around unfortunately it's getting worse.
Trump has made it worse.
I was taught as a child that EVERYONE is equal.
Doesn't matter what color you are no one is better than anyone else.
We ALL bleed the same color.
What makes some people think that because of the color of your skin your better than someone else?
I can't change the past but I raised my kids and grand kids to respect everyone.
That's how I can change the future.
We need more love in the world.
There's no room for hate.
Did Trump really make it worse or were some of them folk just looking for an excuse to get bold with something that has never changed? It's a new day. Things won't go like they used to. Our patience and tolerance has all but run out.
Trump didn't make it worse! He gave racists the courage to come out of the shadows!!!
Well said Jesse! Love your passion!!!
I’m in Canada, my wife is First Nation. We watched a presentation recently about First Nation children who got caught in the “Sixties Scoop”. I’m willing to bet one dollar you’ve never heard that expression. Anyhoo, the speaker referred to the kids from that debacle as bring “trafficked” around the world. In the twentieth century, children in North America being “trafficked “! It’s very difficult to review what the African Americans and First Nation people in Canada and the U.S. experienced with these shameful atrocities and then listen to the deniers without feeling extremely passionate. Great job!!! Keep it up! Love your diatribes!!!
Hearing Mister Jackson admit that he was too violent to get himself through the situation is a major boon.
In his playing days, you could barely tell the difference between him and an oak tree.
Can you imagine what Jackie Robinson and others during his day went through
I remember being in demonstrations in the 60's. It is not ancient history. It is around us where ever we live. You can't fix a problem if you don't think you have one.
Warren Moon was accepted as a quarterback in Canada's CFL. He was told in America that he could play a different position but not quarterback. I guess it was a job for white guys. Once he proved his talent, he was signed as a quarterback in the NFL.
I'm a football fan and older. I remember when I saw the first black quarterback. I was excited and very happy! It was long overdue.
@@sharondowney9571 The first one I saw was Jim Gilliam in 1973 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Been a fan ever since.
Hello, current MVP, Lamar Jackson, just a few years ago!!!
Lamar Jackson, our current MVP, just a few years ago...
My heart goes out to the awesome gentleman. Thank you so much Mr. Jackson for sharing these horrific racial experiences with us.
I cried listening to that man. How?? How am I suppose to look at the world and think things are ok? You know there are people like that still around.
Dollemore, even though you talk about your ‘privilege’, we know you didn’t have a ‘bed of roses’ life like Trump and his kids, but we understand your point.
If you dont learn from history. You're bound to repeat it. Its disgusting.
Sad to see an older man have to relive his PTSD on national TV like that.
This is why critical thinking should be taught.
Only person is mad, but the devil children's.
