What's really sad is that some government officials don't want any of this history taught anymore. We've never been taught the true horror of what our past has been.
@@nikjoyner Excuse me, flippin what?? That’s so astonishingly evil. People need to learn their history and critical thinking now more than ever. They’ve got to be out of their minds if they think 2023’s peasants are going back to this bs.
they never have. i cant tell you how many times i got kicked out of class for properly educating about my ancestors and what we went through. I'm Pottawatomi and wasn't allowed to be apart of the lessons involving my tribe. i got suspended for disrupting the class too many times. i had to bring my native id to even prove i was native American and i wasn't allowed to do the class project on my own tribe in 5th grade because they didn't want me providing false information. that's when i learned everything i needed to know on how people felt about us... when i was punished for correcting false information about my own family. i only had one teacher allow me to do so in high school because she said "im not allowed to teach certain criteria and will get in a lot of trouble if im caught but theres nothing stating i cant allow a student to teach it for me" she was the only history teacher i felt seen by
I was taught that slaves liked being slaves and didn’t want to leave their owners and that they lived well and were comfy outside of a few outliers This was in tx 2019/20 b4 covid shut school down
Thank you for sharing this information in this episode. I am a black woman and when I was little, I remember at New Years Eve parties the older people would yell ‘Freedom Day is Here’. I never understood why and never really asked. Who would’ve known that was why. This country has so much hidden/one-sided history. Thank you!
As a white girl, living south of the Mason-Dixon line...this could easily be one of the most important episodes you've done. I'm a transplant, the amount of history denial here is unreal. ❤️ Keep it dark woman!
Born in raised in the South and thought I knew our history - learned something new today. Bailey is doing the Lord's work, from the dark shadows. Love her and the knowledge drop.
Harriet Tubman was rented out to neighbors when she was little. As she got older, she found out her "owner" was going broke and selling her siblings. That's when she escaped.
As a mother, I can't imagine having my baby ripped from my arms and knowing they were going somewhere where they weren't safe and were going to be harmed. I got sick to my stomach thinking about it. Those poor families.
@@moonwalkerangel7008 Yeah the 400 years we went through that as African Americans is insane. Then the oppression we still face to this day is disgusting. May your government pay for that.
If only ACTUAL history was taught in school. So many people are finding out the true horrors from social media and almost by "accident". We need to stop trying to rewrite history and learn from it. IMO
Wintf ya cuz it doesn't matter when the ancestors don't look like you. Even though their your ancestors too. I always knew all this is it cuz I'm from.the south. Even the white people here knew this I guess cuz the south is where they did it
@@pokeydot1975 ya.. like how Slavery was started by the africans and arabs who enslaves poorer africans and got rich.. an how the white men from england is the one who forced Africa to sign a anti slavery treaty
I've never felt more let down by the education system than I have today. I cried listening to this story, reflecting on my ignorance and feeling lied to. The truth hurts but it's not an excuse to ignore it. this is why history repeats itself. We can never learn from the past, because we are rarely given the truth.
I hope that people are really hearing you when you tell the stories of the past/history. I also hope that the world, and especially the US, will hop out of the cycle it’s been stuck in. Love you girl, thanks for educating us and learning with us!❤
The thing is though, are those people who need to listen actually listening? All those rich white men? They and and their enablers will never take notice 😢
Grew up southern and our history book definitely glossed over the dark parts of slavery, to "AND THEY WHERE SUDDENLY FREEE YAY!!!" The literature was also incredibly laddened with "These poor plantation owners.... These poor southern white people." They sure as heck left out the part on heartbreak day. Which honestly moved me to tears. I can definitely say I had so taught bias based on the lack of education in this subject, and I intend to shed them further. Thank you.
I really like how you said that we really need to acknowledge the truth of the pain and suffering these people endured if there's to be healing and the ability to move forward. It's the same for Australia's first nation peoples. How dare we tell them to get over it, without even acknowledging what 'it' is?
I agree, as a nation we cannot tell Indigenous people who underwent the trauma to “get over it”, we almost wiped out an entire culture despite being multicultural and accepting. That generational trauma lasts.
You can’t get ‘over’ anything by blaming others instead of taking responsibility for your own happiness and well being either. It’s not a one way street where everyone else is supposed to do all the work for you. At the end of every day YOU are the only one to answer to for your actions and reactions in this world.
The older a person is the more whitewashed their history was taught in school. There are still groups who want to purposely remove this part of history completely. When you hear the words "ban CRT in schools" this is what it means. They wish to never speak of this history. Why? They wish to repeat it. For real. The prison system is filled with people who work for pennies a day. The state or federal govt. literally owns these human beings.
As someone from a small (civil war) town in the south I feel like I learned more about slavery in this 40 minutes than I did all my school years. Thank you.
I literally have never heard about this in any of the history classes I've taken, even in college classes this was absolutely never mentioned. I'm appalled at America's lack of accountability for the terrible things we've done as a country, and every day I find out more about our past that has been covered up for decades and centuries. This is something EVERYONE should know about, learning about heartbreak day has given me a better understanding of what actually happened when the emancipation proclamation was enacted. Thank you for covering this Bailey, I hope it will reach more people who were never aware of heartbreak day and we can all learn more about our real history.
@@132robloxmaster pretty sure it's not regularly taught in the south where some still spout BS about the Civil War being about states rights. Yeah, the right to own slaves!
While I usually love bailey's quick delivery, sometimes when talking about truly serious topics that aren't super well known to to public like this, I kind of wish we could get a pause once in a while to let things sink in.. like I am taking a full pause after she talked about the mother who saw all seven of her children auctioned off..
We had to read Harriet's book for one of my college classes and it was so hard to get through. The rage and disgust I felt as I annotated it made me have to take breaks. The people who did those horrible things laughed in men, women, and children's faces as they were being tortured and still felt like they had the right to call themselves honorable and godly people. They even tormented them when they were able to go into church. There is more to it and I highly recommend both book.
I remember reading a book a while ago that recorded first-hand accounts of freed slaves that were in their 90's. One woman talked about heartbreak day and how her son was taken from her, and she never saw him again. Thank you for talking about this. We should never forget.
Thank you for this. I hear a lot of people tell me to get over it, but they don't understand how close this is. Im 3rd gen free from slavery and I'm 39 yrs old. Slavery was abolished 84 yrs before his birth he is the baby of 7 and is now 76. Yall get the math. It wasn't too long ago. And I remember night watch growing up in Texas. Again thank you
People say they just rather forget, so we should all forget.... How can you "forget" what you were never even taught in the first place? At the very least learn it first, THEN decide what you feel is worth "forgetting", ok?
Bailey, this is one of your best Dark History podcast ever! I had never heard of heartbreak day. It touched me very deeply. Thank you for all the work you put in these stories.
That is amazing that Jamaica still observes this. Here in Saint Lucia 🇱🇨 we don't have an equivalent of which I'm aware. But then we're heavily Catholic
I’ve always loved your videos but this one had me wrapped around your every word! As a black woman, I’ve been to several watch night parties at both small baptist churches and mega churches. I thought it was just a thing we did as black people, but now having this history behind it makes it that more beautiful. Thank you 🫶🏽
I'm so sorry you're in the ICU 🙏 my doctor is admitting me to the hospital today for surgery and IV antibiotics, and I can't stand being away from my daughter. It's so hard!! Praying for you! ❤
Hey Bailey. Do you think you could do a video about parenting and marriage in the 40s and 50s? I heard some parents did pretty messed up stuff that no one would do today.
it's kind of a known fact. pregnant women used to smoke like it was no big deal. people didn't know any better. and of course some people didn't care lol
Thank you Bailey. So many schools have banned the history of my ancestors, your channel allows people to get great peeps that intrigue their curiosity and eventually do their own deep dives.
Thank you so much for sharing our stories in the way that you do. As a black southerner I knew this from my grandparents/church community- and as a teacher I can confirm it’s not taught in schools. I really appreciate the care you take in keeping our stories alive, and introducing America’s history to a new audience.
I HATE the world we live in. The way humans have been treated is sickening. I can’t stop crying! Those poor families being ripped apart hurts my heart so much! It’s wasn’t bad enough what they were doing but to rip mothers/ fathers from their babies 😭😭 I really just HATE this world!
The generational wealth most white people enjoy now is because of genocide and slavery….. Jimcrow era… the when they wanted to make a political party the black panthers the FBI killed and jailed many of them some still in prison. Is Capitalism worth it? for few people to take advantage to of the labor of many. Western society is voilent and brutal. Look at what they are doing in Palestine.

Wow I didn’t know this part of history and I’m in my 50’s! Not in HS or college classes! I live in the north but all my family is from the far south and still heard nothing of this. Thank you doing for the Dark History series as I always keep as rn something new about history ❤
I just want to give a round of applause 👏🏽 thank you for explaining so well what I have been explaining to my community and my peers in America. How big new Eva is to us and everything else you explain I am not a Christian but as an AfricanAmerican I celebrate my freedom as much the slaves. I honored the ones who fought for our freedom today. I'm glad I have this video to reference and I love your storytelling skills. This is sad how history has been hidden and twisted. I hope this message gets out and correct the mind of many in society today.
My mother used to tell me how much our history has been rewritten. I had no idea about the new year, & what it used to represent. Thank you for bringing this darkness to light. So much was never taught & STILL isn't. Appreciate you delving in & sharing your research. No matter how disturbing, it needs to be KNOWN, not sugar coated. Keep bringing it! 🕯️
Bailey is so real as a person… that’s why I love her! She is herself and doesn’t care what people say about her. More power to you girl👊 Love you and your videos❤
Thank you for telling these stories. They should have more shows like on PBS for example to tell these stories. They deserve to be told. We should celebrate that holiday nationally of them becoming free.
Kudos to her mom💚💚 for teaching n raising her to not think her beauty is all she needs to succeed.. This girl has a presence that has u wanting more of whatever she's putting out.. personality,sense of humor, empathy etc.. Ladies take notes...
Thank you for covering watch night❤ I grew up celebrating this with my church community as a kid. It baffled me that many people never really practiced or knew about the tradition.
59yr old here and NEVER knew this. Read a few books on these topics but there is soooo much to learn. Thank you for guiding us to learn from our pasts.
I must say, Bailey is probably one of the few white people I can listen to talk about a story of slaves, torture and stay engaged. That is saying A LOT. Thanks, well informed queen! 👸🏻
@@jazminrodriguez8491 neither of these ethnicities are considered a race in America. Its more so based on phenotype, therefore Bailey is white by American standards.
@@Alien_Super_Star lol, Im a Spanish teacher in the USA. Shes considered white by who ever wants to consider her white. But her ancestry can change that depending again on who is viewing. My grandmother is light skinned and considered white and my brother is dark skinned considered black but we are neither. Just depends on who is in the audience.
Information is key. Bailey is a queen. It's so sad to hear about all the realities of the world but it's better to know and acknowledge so that maybe just maybe the pattern won't be repeated. Sidenote: Imagining a young Bailey bartending at the age of 12 and blagging 20's had me giggling.
But imagine a poor 12 year old Bailey being taken away from her family and being enslaved for free and potentially never being returned to her family now that is something. let alone making drinks 🍹 and getting paid for it! Anyway, Bailey is my QUEEN, I hope she gets award 🥇 some sort of PHD one day.
Being a history teacher for 8th graders I wish I could teach history this way but gotta stick to a curriculum that will be tested at the end of the year so I like to add in random facts throughout the units I teach
When I was in school the history of the Civil War was taught much differently in southern schools than in northern schools. I moved from Michigan to Texas a lot as a kid.
Bailey! Thank You for honoring the real history, and for sharing original sources written by people of color! You're doing your part and it's inspiring!
I got it for the first time around this time last year! Then again in July😩 Hope you feel better soon💕 Sending you healthy vibes for the rest of the year😘
This should be sent to every U.S. history teacher because so many people are clueless about the depths of depravity slavery wrought. Thank you for bringing this history out of obscurity. It makes me feel sad and angry that the people can’t “own the truth,” when so many people had NO PROBLEM owning other human beings. It’s sickening.
I had no idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing the truth. Our public schools definitely didn't teach very much about slavery back in my day. (Born 1983)
... the fact that people don't think these stories were passed down from generation to generation... this stuff hurts my heart. Because I descend from these people.
Half my family line comes from south IL, so I am hear to say I am sorry, and everyday I live I am aware of the cruelty and everyday I try and repair by being an allie and raising my children to be the same. My children know the real History of America and my hope is that I have broken the false narrative. Generations going forward will be known to be part of the dismantling of the racist institutions the fill America and the world.
Bailey thank u for bringing the truth. So much we were never taught.. as u said, the only way to move forward is to admit the truth from the past. Admit it, acknowledge it! Stop denying. Thank u for bringing us these terrible but important true accounts
People are always discovering slavery was 100x worse than they thought, and so many present-day things are a direct result. I appreciate Bailey using her platform to showcase information that's often glossed over/ not mentioned in school.
Heartbreaking indeed. Not that this is anywhere on the same level, my son came home for the holidays and we just said our goodbyes. He lives across the country from me. I have been crying for an hour now. I only get to see him once a year. This story of the mother losing all her children absolutely just broke me.
Grrl!! Thank you Bailey for this episode. You have just Reignited My Passion for Living My Life on My Terms!!! We can not go back and make changes…But we can encourage Humanity moving forward. Deuces To You Grrrl 🙏🏾
I think it's cool that there are communities that still celebrate the day their ancestors no longer had to fear the auction block. Not that it ended their suffering but it was one more step toward freedom and I'm glad people celebrate it every year.
Thank you so much for your Dark History podcast. The origins of law enforcement is so important to know about. It brings a new level of understanding to why Black people have a deep mistrust and fear of cops.
I have such a hard time understanding how a human being could do these things to another! It is so infuriating and sad at the same time. I wish the tables had been turned and these evil people would've suffered the same as the people they enslaved.
This makes me feel better about never doing anything to celebrate New Year's Eve/Day. After this episode, I can never think of it as a day to celebrate ever again.
TY,TY, THANK YOU BAILEY! For making this and the Tulsa video. I love that you did this, not enough people know about or want to believe these events. How do we move forward if we are ignorant the past? And some people are allergic to the truth, just see the racket about "critical race theory", which isnt even being taught in schools..
Hey Bailey, would you wanna do an episode on weird common American phrases? As a foreigner I usually get them confused and just wonder where they came from. Things like "bite the bullet" or "beat around the bush" etc. 🤷🏽♀️ I fully enjoy your videos! ☺️
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Bailey, you did an excellent job of covering the horrors or slavery during the American Antebellum period. I am African Canadian history teacher who has taught this content for years. Well done! You have made my Black Canadian heart proud!
I really love how Bailey pronounces escape as “ex-cape”. On a more serious note, I am so grateful to Bailey for telling the stories of enslaved people. It is such an important but underrepresented part of American history.
I totally agree with you and I truly appreciate you speaking about this. Most people try to hide it or run from it or won't admit to it but what we have done to black people is unforgivable but we all do need to move on and human beings are human beings we are one race not different.
"We"? Who the fuxk are you talking about with "We"? No white people now days are doing anything bad to black people. And folks like you seem to forget about the other groups of people that were slaves...like the Irish or Jews or the Chinese. But because they weren't black...we can't discuss that one.

I HATE the world we live in. The way humans have been treated is sickening. I can’t stop crying! Those poor families being ripped apart hurts my heart so much! It’s wasn’t bad enough what they were doing but to rip mothers/ fathers from their babies 😭😭 I really just HATE this world!
The generational wealth most white people enjoy now is because of genocide and slavery….. Jimcrow era… the when they wanted to make a political party the black panthers the FBI killed and jailed many of them some still in prison. Is Capitalism worth it? for few people to take advantage to of the labor of many. Western society is voilent and brutal. Look at what they are doing in Palestine.

Wow I didn’t know this part of history and I’m in my 50’s! Not in HS or college classes! I live in the north but all my family is from the far south and still heard nothing of this.
Thank you doing for the Dark History series as I always keep as rn something new about history ❤
Bailey low-key a comedian 😂👐🏼
high-key makes me cry laugh every week😂
Hi key!
Low key??
she really is, part of why i love her so 😊
Love this so much
I just want to give a round of applause 👏🏽 thank you for explaining so well what I have been explaining to my community and my peers in America. How big new Eva is to us and everything else you explain I am not a Christian but as an AfricanAmerican I celebrate my freedom as much the slaves. I honored the ones who fought for our freedom today. I'm glad I have this video to reference and I love your storytelling skills. This is sad how history has been hidden and twisted. I hope this message gets out and correct the mind of many in society today.
Been waiting patiently for today's episode. Love from South Africa.
Thanks for watching, Clantis! 💜 💜 💜
5 mins into the video I didn't even realized that Joan was there because she's blending in with the background so smoothly 🤣🤣🦜
Same
I only noticed her because of your comment 😂
🤫she's in stealth mode
Me too!
@@stephanieboggian3557 hahahaha super stealth mode Joan lol
My mother used to tell me how much our history has been rewritten. I had no idea about the new year, & what it used to represent. Thank you for bringing this darkness to light. So much was never taught & STILL isn't. Appreciate you delving in & sharing your research. No matter how disturbing, it needs to be KNOWN, not sugar coated. Keep bringing it! 🕯️
Thank you Bailey for sharing one of our [many] stories. When you said, “. . . just tell the truth.” That shook my soul. Thank you again ♥️
💜 💜 💜
This history MATTERS! 👏🏾 Thanks, Bailey! 😘💖
😘😘😘
Hearing the whole truth about our countries history is so heartbreaking and infuriating but something we all need to know. Thank you Bailey❤
Bailey is so real as a person… that’s why I love her! She is herself and doesn’t care what people say about her. More power to you girl👊 Love you and your videos❤
Thank you for sharing this story Bailey. Education is not just a classroom experience; especially if you want anything close to the truth.
Thank you for telling these stories. They should have more shows like on PBS for example to tell these stories. They deserve to be told. We should celebrate that holiday nationally of them becoming free.
the police part. THAT PART, THAT PAAAAAAAAAAART!!!
Kudos to her mom💚💚 for teaching n raising her to not think her beauty is all she needs to succeed.. This girl has a presence that has u wanting more of whatever she's putting out.. personality,sense of humor, empathy etc.. Ladies take notes...
Everyon take note. Smh.
This part of American history is so hartbreaking.... Thank you, Bailey, for delivering it with such empathy... Finding you here on TH-cam was a treat.
This is so sad!! Heartbreak day is definitely accurate! I'm glad things have gotten better these days but we still have a looooooong way to go!
So sad how humans can treat one another. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Thank you for covering watch night❤ I grew up celebrating this with my church community as a kid. It baffled me that many people never really practiced or knew about the tradition.
Thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed 💜 💜 💜
59yr old here and NEVER knew this. Read a few books on these topics but there is soooo much to learn. Thank you for guiding us to learn from our pasts.
I must say, Bailey is probably one of the few white people I can listen to talk about a story of slaves, torture and stay engaged. That is saying A LOT. Thanks, well informed queen! 👸🏻
Shes actually Armenian and Mexican descent
@@jazminrodriguez8491 neither of these ethnicities are considered a race in America. Its more so based on phenotype, therefore Bailey is white by American standards.
@@Alien_Super_Star she isn’t white 😂
This conversation is necessary. Please continue...
@@Alien_Super_Star lol, Im a Spanish teacher in the USA. Shes considered white by who ever wants to consider her white. But her ancestry can change that depending again on who is viewing. My grandmother is light skinned and considered white and my brother is dark skinned considered black but we are neither. Just depends on who is in the audience.
Information is key. Bailey is a queen. It's so sad to hear about all the realities of the world but it's better to know and acknowledge so that maybe just maybe the pattern won't be repeated. Sidenote: Imagining a young Bailey bartending at the age of 12 and blagging 20's had me giggling.
But imagine a poor 12 year old Bailey being taken away from her family and being enslaved for free and potentially never being returned to her family now that is something. let alone making drinks 🍹 and getting paid for it! Anyway, Bailey is my QUEEN, I hope she gets award 🥇 some sort of PHD one day.
Being a history teacher for 8th graders I wish I could teach history this way but gotta stick to a curriculum that will be tested at the end of the year so I like to add in random facts throughout the units I teach
I play it on Fridays (after I watch it to see its appropriateness) while they are completing work.
@@tiaramack8285 you’re like the coolest teacher ever
This whole story changes my perspective on NYE, it’s crazy that this history is not talked about more. Thank you Bailey. . .❤
When I was in school the history of the Civil War was taught much differently in southern schools than in northern schools. I moved from Michigan to Texas a lot as a kid.
💯 Agree with your comments at the end. We all need to learn n hear these stories. Great vid Bailey!👍😘💖
The speed I clicked this rivaled a toddler exiting a call ❤️ Happy New Year Bailey! ❤️
💜 💜 💜
Bailey! Thank You for honoring the real history, and for sharing original sources written by people of color! You're doing your part and it's inspiring!
Sick with COVID, so I needed this to ring in 2023. Thanks, Bailey!
aww get well soon dear💛
I'm sorry. I had it in August, it's so rough. I hope you're feeling better soon
I got it for the first time around this time last year! Then again in July😩 Hope you feel better soon💕 Sending you healthy vibes for the rest of the year😘
Get well soon ✨️
Get well soon, sending love and Hny from the Uk
This should be sent to every U.S. history teacher because so many people are clueless about the depths of depravity slavery wrought.
Thank you for bringing this history out of obscurity.
It makes me feel sad and angry that the people can’t “own the truth,” when so many people had NO PROBLEM owning other human beings. It’s sickening.
I had no idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing the truth. Our public schools definitely didn't teach very much about slavery back in my day. (Born 1983)
... the fact that people don't think these stories were passed down from generation to generation... this stuff hurts my heart. Because I descend from these people.
This was sad to hear
Yeah, I’m half Haitian and it goes *way* back it’s so sad what people went through and still experience
Half my family line comes from south IL, so I am hear to say I am sorry, and everyday I live I am aware of the cruelty and everyday I try and repair by being an allie and raising my children to be the same. My children know the real History of America and my hope is that I have broken the false narrative. Generations going forward will be known to be part of the dismantling of the racist institutions the fill America and the world.
Right. This trauma is in our DNA.
@@arianahonk ❤❤
Bailey thank u for bringing the truth. So much we were never taught.. as u said, the only way to move forward is to admit the truth from the past. Admit it, acknowledge it! Stop denying. Thank u for bringing us these terrible but important true accounts
People are always discovering slavery was 100x worse than they thought, and so many present-day things are a direct result.
I appreciate Bailey using her platform to showcase information that's often glossed over/ not mentioned in school.
Happy New Year! Huge thank you to the entire Dark History team for making this great content. ❤ you all!!
💜 💜 💜
Awesome reminder that new years has many reasons to celebrate and learn new beginnings ! Own it and respect it!
Heartbreaking indeed. Not that this is anywhere on the same level, my son came home for the holidays and we just said our goodbyes. He lives across the country from me. I have been crying for an hour now. I only get to see him once a year. This story of the mother losing all her children absolutely just broke me.
Grrl!! Thank you Bailey for this episode. You have just Reignited My Passion for Living My Life on My Terms!!! We can not go back and make changes…But we can encourage Humanity moving forward. Deuces To You Grrrl 🙏🏾
Thanks Bailey for giving people a little taste of black history... I really appreciate this video.
💜 💜 💜
Love you girl .... in my mind we are friends.
The personal stories rly make it so much more real in my opinion
I live in Norfolk Virginia and finding out that was happening here really makes me sick … it’s so diverse here now that’s just so crazy to me
Yes!! Another dark history from the dark goddesses herself 🖤
🖤
Here for the Historical tea 🫖
I think it's cool that there are communities that still celebrate the day their ancestors no longer had to fear the auction block. Not that it ended their suffering but it was one more step toward freedom and I'm glad people celebrate it every year.
Thank you so much for your Dark History podcast. The origins of law enforcement is so important to know about. It brings a new level of understanding to why Black people have a deep mistrust and fear of cops.
The genre of history and horror are one in the same
Happy New Year Everyone!!
Thank you for telling the truth about history.
I have such a hard time understanding how a human being could do these things to another! It is so infuriating and sad at the same time. I wish the tables had been turned and these evil people would've suffered the same as the people they enslaved.
Slavery had been happening since WAY before that time. Why does nobody want to talk about the other groups of people that were slaves?
This makes me feel better about never doing anything to celebrate New Year's Eve/Day. After this episode, I can never think of it as a day to celebrate ever again.
Wish I could be friends with Bailey she is so cool and relatable
Dark History should be part of school’s curriculum
Yes
I would say for 8th grade and up maybe
Thank you Bailey for telling this story. I sincerely appreciate all you do. Much love Bailey! ❤️
Thanks for watching, Terence! 💜 💜 💜
Please cover the story of Jawaher Hajji
Thank you Bailey for bringing this to life...people needed to hear this.
Watching the video and the reading the comments, it really does warm my heart that hate is taught, ❤ Sarians rise up❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰I love her she's awesome. Like the best friend I've never had
Holding my son in my arms hearing the story about that mother broke my heart. How often this must've happened.. humans can be so awful 😔
listening to Bailey talk about gory gossip is honestly therapeutic ❤
Yess, like old times horror shows but smarter and she's too extra. LoL.
TY,TY, THANK YOU BAILEY!
For making this and the Tulsa video.
I love that you did this, not enough people know about or want to believe these events.
How do we move forward if we are ignorant the past?
And some people are allergic to the truth, just see the racket about "critical race theory", which isnt even being taught in schools..
Im folding my clothes, just in time 👌🏼😌
happy new year everyone 🎊
At the time of this comment, Bailey is SO CLOSE to 900,000,000 VIEWS!!🥂🍾🎉 We'll hit a billi before we know it
Can't wait to hear about the horrendous origins of yet another holiday🖤❤️ love ya bailey keep doing what you're doing!
The new movie with Will Smith is this episode.. it is amazing!!! So spot on Bailey!
Hey Bailey, would you wanna do an episode on weird common American phrases? As a foreigner I usually get them confused and just wonder where they came from. Things like "bite the bullet" or "beat around the bush" etc. 🤷🏽♀️ I fully enjoy your videos! ☺️
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Bailey, you did an excellent job of covering the horrors or slavery during the American Antebellum period. I am African Canadian history teacher who has taught this content for years. Well done! You have made my Black Canadian heart proud!
Been part of my morning get ready routine for 3 strait years now 🤩
I really love how Bailey pronounces escape as “ex-cape”. On a more serious note, I am so grateful to Bailey for telling the stories of enslaved people. It is such an important but underrepresented part of American history.
I used to go to watch night when I was younger! I never knew the story behind it tho, thanks for this Bailey ❤
I definitely recommend the Tulsa massacre video she mentions for anyone who hasn’t seen it.
I totally agree with you and I truly appreciate you speaking about this. Most people try to hide it or run from it or won't admit to it but what we have done to black people is unforgivable but we all do need to move on and human beings are human beings we are one race not different.
"We"? Who the fuxk are you talking about with "We"? No white people now days are doing anything bad to black people. And folks like you seem to forget about the other groups of people that were slaves...like the Irish or Jews or the Chinese. But because they weren't black...we can't discuss that one.
