- Black women's history matters in medicine.
Read ProPublica's feature piece on how the US is the most dangerous industrialized country in which to give birth, and racial disparities in maternal mortality make it even worse for women of color: www.propublica.org/article/no... And they're seeking your help in understanding the problem. If you nearly died during pregnancy or know someone who died due to childbirth related causes, check out this page for more information: propub.li/2Ae5RMi
At 0:54, a previous version of this chart mistakenly said "deaths per 1,000 live births," but it is "100,000" instead. The error has been fixed.
UPDATE: On Tuesday, April 17, 2018 - New York removed the statue of J. Marion Sims as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s review of city markers that could be deemed “symbols of hate.”

“Black people don’t feel pain”.
Right. I’m sure slaveowners were using those whips just for fun.
LEFT4BASS Wow that's true, if blacks felt no pain then the whip made no sense
Ha, that's kinda funny but in a messed up way. But I think the whip might've actually made people believe blacks felt no pains as they got used to the pain or their pain sensors just stopped after a while.
Green Man there is no getting used to the pain of getting whipped . My ppl just had no choice on what they did
omg i was about to comment the same thing
That mentality flipped in health care and culture where I read in an RNs book that black people are hypersensitive to pain do they are taught to not cater so to speak to a black person who is complaining notice the response after the two week mark of the same ailment

@Tre Israel Just say you're obsessed with black women and move on.
Which is mind boggling considering they are the MOST BEAUTIFUL inside and out
@Tre Israel the same way a white women does too when she wears blond extensions
l l you’re proving the og commenters point
The fact that he could have used anesthesia and didn’t, proved that he enjoyed torturing black women. Just terrible and this devil got a statue?
@@fiveguysinmymouth4258 a hero wouldn’t do what he did,
@@fiveguysinmymouth4258 just say your racist :D
While he was obviously extremely racist, I think the issue is more nuanced than simply calling him a "monster".
Because as the video stated, there are a few very significant discoveries he's made, which I'm sure has done a great deal of good over the course of history.
In fact, one might say if we're looking at objective "creation vs. reduction" of human suffering, that his work might even be a net positive.
So, I understand why five guys could say he was a hero.
@@duxater2331 no they are just people that want to make people mad they know when theys ay that they will get negative comebacks or attention they dont care about the positive things he made
@@duxater2331 Yes! Of course! You got it! He used, I mean "tortured" other humans (at the time were not looked as humans), without anesthesia, to discover new advancements in the medical field. He's such a great guy......
‘Excruciating experimental surgeries’
He tortured them.
He just tortured them because he believed they didn’t feel pain/just enjoyed hurting them and claiming they didn’t feel pain.
And yet he hear their screaming and kept doing.
He didn't care if they felt pain. He knew exactly what he was doing
I met a nurse two years ago, who said they still teach that in medical school, blacks don’t feel pain, I was shocked that she told me that, I found out later that she harbored other racist beliefs. A nurse here in Milwaukee two years ago. Wow
They knew, they were just heartless and didn't care. So disgusting!
Something tells me the latter because the story clearly states his colleagues could no longer handle the pain he was inflicting on her. He was psychopathic ... even his colleagues knew.
When people say: what have blacks contributed to society?
Our lives
First of all, when has someone ever said that. Second of all, you didn't have to go through slavery. So don't say "our lives" like you went through that.
To everyone still replying: I don't think either of our minds are going to be changed. You can tell me all day how oppressed you are without any evidence to back you up, but at this point I don't even really care about your opinion on the matter anymore. All I know is I'm going to continue living my "white priviledged" life and actually take responsibility for my problems instead of finding things to blame it on. I'm just happy I'm not like OP and people like her who are so desperate to victimize themselves that they actually end up believing it.
Infernecrosis 57 I get into an online argument every other day with so called “high iq” people saying blacks never contributed anything to society.. this is something I see daily in every form of social media... and I didn’t have to live through slavery to experience what is was like... our justice system does a good job of keeping slavery alive and well... every other day there’s a video on TH-cam that proves things haven’t changed much at all
@@selendriamuganogo7077 I have never heard anyone say that "blacks haven't contributed to society", much less every other day, and most of the "racism" nowadays is just liberals trying to Make things racist. You just compared living a pampered normal life, to someone in the 1800s being abused, whipped, and forced to work himself to death for no pay just because of his skin color. The fact that you just compared your life to those people sickens me.
Infernecrosis 57 of course it does but you aren’t black so how could you understand... but I bet you benefit from all the experiments that were done on enslaved women... you probably benefit more from it than we do

But it doesnt surprise me. If arent told the content of this video in school, you will not told that América IS a continent on school neither.
“Poured boiling water on the legs to the negroe” these weren’t experiments or gaining a medical understanding of anything. This was just plain torture, this lack of humanity needs to be taught more and a bigger part of our history. How deep these horrific stories and memories go is appalling, but not as appalling as the fact that this discrimination still continues today, even with the knowledge of these horrors.
Rest in Power Lucy , Anarcha , Betsey & all the other Black enslaved women who were abused by these evil men!!! We remember you now and WE hold in the highest honor for all you had to endure.
Now days " people" see and hear about wrongs, but don't do anything to help or change things for the better and whisper it to their friends
Sadistic, and im pretty sure that said """doctor"""" felt turn on by torture the 17 year old, 36 surgeries that other white men condone that leave him, that said something
Angelic TroubleMaker...WELL SAID!@!
These black women who were tortured like this.. those are the ones that should have statues.
Yes exactly .as a women I can. Not admagine!!! but this went on and of course they keep it hidden ..I say this do your research people!!!
Agreed!!
Every Black Woman deserves a Statue in every city in America. 😪😔
I would tear down the statue of that torturer. Abhorrent man.
They have statues in some Asian countries commemorating the “comfort women” of the Imperial Japanese military in WWII, so it makes sense to have statues of black women who were tortured. Along with statues, we need more information about the inhuman practices against black people back then, so history can actually be learned.
The fact that they exclaimed that black people had a higher tolerance of pain is ridiculous.
A thing to justify
Pronounced Van-Knee-uh It all began with the invention of human races. Western European enslavers (aka the original white supremacists) invented human races to rationalize their crimes against humanity. They stripped diverse ethnic Africans and lumped them into one group as “property.” They convinced themselves that they were not really human, but “humanoid”, a “thing” to be mistreated, dominated and controlled. Hence, it is not surprising they invented pseudo scientific theories to justify the atrocities committed against enslaved Africans. This is the whole process of dehumanizing Africans and racism is the system in which the enslavers (and their descendants) enrich themselves at the expense of the enslaved Africans (and their descendants). The people who commit to the system of white supremacy have always used DECEPTION and VIOLENCE as tools to maintain the system. And time and time again, it has been argued that America (as well as other colonized countries) have been a long social experiment.
As a nurse trying in Australia in the 1970’s I heard the fallacy that aboriginals didn’t feel pain the same way as whites. I knew it was a lie then as I do now.
@@jaynehorn151 😪😪
@Bela T.T Latinos, native Americans and other races have been under segregation, slavery and colonisation. Don't just state because you are specifically black that you have it worse for you .
All those black women who went through torture in the name of “progress” I feel like half the world was destroyed for “progress”.
Thank you black women for everything.
Sending love and support to the black women still around.
Thank you ❤
Thank you beloved we appreciate you for that❤️💯
As a Healthcare professional I IMPLORE my people, especially BW, to be your own advocate. Use google and always do your research on your MD and their practice. Always ask questions and if you don’t know what to ask, request ALL the literature pertaining to your illness/ medication/ procedure. That way you have a starting point. Just like we do with anything else needing major repairs- get 2nd opinions. We do it for our cars don’t we? Do not suffer in silence and report those who mistreat you or your loved ones!
The statue should be replaced with a statue of his 17 year old victim.
I agree
Maybe they should put her statue next to his? The operation to treat fistula IS a medical marvel, so he deserves to be remembered for that. At the same time, he also deserves to be remembered as a white supremacist.
Anna Lau you can’t erase history
@ Trippe Red That's not erasing history.

This guy basically tortured Black Women.
He did. Literally.
And was rewarded for it.

Basically?
*Misogyny and white supremacy at its worst, even by its standards!!!!!* 👿
This broke my heart. What is even more heartbraking, is these horrors and injustices were conveniently cut out of the history books. It's disgusting, that these innocent black women were tortured, and it was swept under the carpet.

▪ Both Voices of freedom- 6th edition vol. 1 and 2- Eric Forner (skim and look around the pages to find what you are looking for)
▪ Ar'n't I a Woman?- Deborah Gray White (explains alot about racism and sexism)

The fact that they had to go through this without anesthesia sickens me.
Right. It had already been invented! They just chose not to use it.
It sickens anyone with a shred of humanity in them. The fact that the experiments were done in the first place is awful enough, but this? This rivals the hideous experiments done by the infamous Dr. Mengele on Jewish prisoners during world war two.
@Khadijah Muhammad what if I tell you some horrible things that your prophet done to black people.
@@youngmoe7850 please continue. Who is this prophet and what happened?

Fun fact: Hitler based his racial policies and actions during the Holocaust from American policies against black people and Native Americans.

And native Americans
and anyone who was not white.
I just gave birth to my 4th child, and I’ve had nothing but great experiences with each. I thank God for that 🙏🏿. I know so many other Black women have not had the same. That’s why I love my job as a doula. We are working hard to improve the mortality outcomes that plague our community.
It's so sad & horrible to hear this stuff. I'm a Black woman and i know i am treated differently as far as pain management. I tolerate severe pain daily and am 59 years old and still am denied pain meds that my White women friends were given upon request!!
There probably a reason they won’t give it to you
@@macaroniboi3202 sad
@@macaroniboi3202 Actually, they tend to give Black women less pain management than White women. Don't deny it.
@@macaroniboi3202Yes, Macaroni. The reason is racism. We just watched a video about it. Plus racism in American healthcare is well documented. Including denying Black people access to pain medication...ALL HUMAN BODIES EXPERIENCE PAIN!🤷🏾♀️😐

We are according to the white man to be used and discard. We built and maintain this country. What do we get in turn, oh just brutal police murders, called ghetto and un educated. Oh it infuriates me! If you’re white and you don’t feel shame to your core, you’re just like the racist and bigoted “fathers” of this country.
The human psyche will allow you to believe anything just as long as you can keep doing what you like doing, right or wrong. Black women were plenty human enough to be desired sexually though...
@@wizcombo I hate the racism of this country and feel ashamed to be American nowadays for many reasons. I hoped that the obvious hypocrisy of slavery and genocide in a country with a constitution saying "all men created equal" was growing to a more perfect union. The mind control increased with the government timing the first black president to head it up during the witchcraft, perversion 2nd wave increase to the point where the big dipper turned upside down. Now some people want to think that was because of a black president ruling over whites instead of the real reasons of witchcraft blasphemy perversion sexism and racism. God is going to Rain Fire soon.
I guess they skip this part in history class smh. Brutal.
How much do you think children need to know over a hundred years later? Your kids can only learn so much and something they could use is worth learning. Myata history is not really worth learning except for personal interest.

I wonder if THIS is why doctors DO NOT LISTEN TO BLACK WOMEN WHEN WE SAY WE'RE IN PAIN.............
No wonder black people are so scared of hospitals and doctors till this day. It's deeply embedded
Sammi Walker Always tell them you want the refusal documented in your chart. I had a doctor take a medical condition she didn’t diagnose off my chart because it’s a pain condition. I had a young black woman tell me that she bleeds so bad during her period that she’s passed out before and the doctors told her it was normal! It’s important to stick up for yourself and not be afraid to change doctors if you feel disrespected or the doctor continues to do harm instead of good.
That's why I only request black doctors..
@th1smomentisfate Are you black?
@@The.Whoever I am and it does depend on the doctor. A couple years ago I was home visiting my family. I slipped....one foot went straight out, my body landed on the other foot.....I got up, laughed it off but the next morning I was in so much pain, I peed myself because I couldn't make it to the bathroom 15 feet and 2 steps away from me.
I had my mom take me to the emergency room.....I was asked the question about my level of pain.....8 when still and 100 when moving....I was given a anti-inflammatory drug and crutches!
When I got back to where I lived, I wasn't getting better so I went to My doctor.....I had torn my ACL.......
It DOES depend on the doctor......I know a lot of Black women who chose their doctor based on who is closest to them, due to lack of resources (time needed to vet doctors, transportation, lack of insurance, etc)........ but finding a doctor who actually listens to you is critical!
The deeper you search, the more depressing it gets. And the crazy we see today all makes sense
SandoTrini ignorance can be bliss.......
@@DaFireElf so true

The history is to brutal and they teach very little about how bad racism has been in America that's why every few years a group of white kids think that black face is a new idea nobody has ever thought of

Sadly, this stuff still goes on behind closed doors in the medical world. Notably in the Bible Belt states like Texas & Alabama.
To call those states “Bible” belt is the saddest part😢. May God rebuke them as they carry the Bible around, but are the most wicked, hateful and racist people against human beings created in God’s image like them.
Yes. I was 3, kept vomiting, couldn't eat, ect. My parents rushed me to the E.R. and the MRI tech wouldn't even do it, claimed I had a virus and I nearly died. My parents took me to Children's Hospital, an amazing place. They were able to diagnose me properly. It was cancer!
I’m speechless and disgusted! I’m Hispanic and my heart hurts for everything they had to go threw with out a choice nor a soul to care but their people... they basically treated them like lab rats 🐀 how inhuman 💔
This is why I get so offended when people claim racism isn't an issue anymore. It still exists, just a subtle way.
I was born with sickle cell which is an extremely painful blood disorder that sends me to the hospital quite often. The pain feels like your bones are on fire and glass is in your veins. I've had nurses ignore me and act as if I was some kind of drug addict looking for a high. I had to start calling my white doctor to meet me at the emergency room so he could tell them about my sickle cell and my medical history.
I was near death waiting to be seen one time and a security guard saw me pass out. If he hadn't seen me I would have died in the waiting room because I had acute chest syndrome. Every sickle cell patient has horror stories about the emergency room. I almost can't believe a modern nurses textbook said black people can handle more pain. I guess that's what some of the ER nurses were believing when they would ignore me. It's a proven fact that the low quality of adult sickle cell healthcare contributes to our low life expectancy which is about 41 on average and I'm 39 right now.

Call out to Jesus, 🙏
cry out to Him.
@Appletree thanks. Appreciate the encouragement. I hope I can live to see 60.

I’m in jumpstart and we watched this in my class.
Well u teach it whitey
You don't realize how bad it was until you research
So true.
Elizabeth Hansen the only statistic they showed was a higher chance of death at child birth without counting for other conditions, and some researcher who died over 150 years ago.
There are other things that contribute to african american mortality rate, such as: scicle cell anemia, what percentage of african americas can afford hospitals, and what percent choose not to go to hospitals.
Besides doctors follow strict guidelines for each and every patient, so 'racism' doesnt apply when the same procedures are done to african american, and white women. And if they choose not to follow procedures, or screw something up the patient can sue.
noah Walters, people who can afford a lawyer can sue. Also, people. Systemically profiled and prosecuted statistically more are in my opinion less likely to look to the law to solve their problems.
dylan mier how are they systematically 'profiled and prosecuted'? If you can point to direct individuals and prove they are racist I will help bring them to justice, but if you just say 'society is racist' without any evidence I cant help.
I understand black women are more likely to die during child birth, but this can be due to genetic traits more prominent in african Americans, such as scicle cell anemia, or other dissorders. If patients didnt recieve care because of systematic racism the number of women dieing at childbirth wouldn't be 60/100,000 it would be more along the lines of 1000/100,000, or 1/100.
noah walters I did not mention race once. Implicit bias seems to be speaking to you more than what I can speak to.
My black son broke his hip just over 2yrs ago….. they gave him Tylenol for pain. I’m still sickened by it 🤢

I'm sickened. So much of what we know today was built on human torture.
Most of economic expansion was predicated on human sacrifice..
The two great american economic expansions which created us as a superpower were caused by slavery and the great wars..
You should probably search up gator bating just in case you don’t know
Now it's built on animal torture, yay!
Human torture is part of the world's history
You would probablly be sick for real, If It wasn't like that. And It's the other side of the card we should also consider. Nowadays we don't need it, and also it just doesn't fit in our society anymore. Although it did ages before. Some day on the future, humanity will look behind and condemn pretty ordinary things for us, as for example animal's meat consumption or -who knows- the way modern prisons work. Time changes so do we, than we should extract what was good and never let the bad happen again.
The fact that they built a statue of Sims shows us how much respect they have 4 our ancestors.

I genuinely pray to god that her soul is at peace. I hope she is free, from all her earthly troubles. 17 years old. She was a baby.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such essential knowledge accessible to all.
The pain I feel in my heart.
It runs deep
It is disgusting to think how slaves suffered. How could they not see the lack of humanity in what they did. This is so wrong and should be taught in high school. I never knew this.
We weren't considered fully human
Yup we were considered only 3/5th of a human being. Smdh. Those devious devils actually believed this nonsense.
@@EzeICE Actually that's wrong. The 3/5ths conpromise was about representation in congress. To southerners black people were considered livestock
@@thedoublehelix5661 no matter how technical you want to get, it's still wrong in the way they saw black people and a total disregard for black lives. That's all on saying.
@@EzeICE I wasn't arguing against your point. I was trying to strengthen it by pointing out that they saw black people as 0% human not 60%.
When my mother was pregnant with me, she had a lot of complications which made her stay in the hospital for 3 months up until she gave birth to me. When I ask her why she said she said gestational diabetes with me. Her doctors wouldn’t take what she said seriously and would often just ignore her until my mom fainted during a check up with her doctor because of low insulin. The doctors still didn’t believe something was wrong until she begged them to give her insulin and to prove to them that she had gestational diabetes. I was born early because the doctors didn’t want to believe my mom when she said something was wrong. My mom became a nurse so that she could understand how to treat me at home instead of going to the doctors because of her bad experience.
Angel wow I’m so glad you turned out ok. That’s an awful experience and as always your mum is a testament to the strength of black women
Bless her, gestational diabetes is rough on pregnancy
Amen
My wife had gestational diabetes as well , when she was pregnant with our son , who is now a healthy 8 year old , thank god. I have never heard of that condition until that time. She went to her regular clinical facility for a routine check up on her pregnancy , then her gynecologist suggested that she must taken immediately to Lincoln hospital , her health was in jeopardy. Once they got there an immediate cesarean operation was done , bringing our son into world two weeks early of full term.
go Angel's Mom!
I have the book medical apartied and its difficult to read let alone go through the experiments that were practiced. This topic is still relevant today so glad to see it getting some mesia attention.
Gret job guys keep up the good work.
This was excellent. Thank you Pro Publica!
I never learned this in history class. Hmm I wonder why.
@Adam Smith why would white people want that? I think you mean "white supremacy."
They hate us so they have to hide it from us but God is watching Dem
U know they don't want us to know the truth so they teach us lies
"The people writing history always white out their sins."
@@Gorgeouslight2612 that's true
What's even more heartbreaking this is why blacks will suffer rather than go to the hospital...geez
Yes, and many people with old black parents from the south especially know this to be true
"Black" people don't have to suffer, if they would repent and turn back to The Most High Power!

We contributed our lives
We also weren't given the chance to express out brilliance

Most ironic thing is that he is regarded as "Father of gynecology".
Do you know what annoys me, that people click on videos pertaining to blacks and go on to complain about how their ppl suffered too, the internet is free, create your own content exposing the atrocities you people faced. As a black woman I read about the holocaust etc and empathized with them, not once did I say o but it happened to black people too, why dont you guys include us. I have watched videos of the holocaust etc and not once did I write what about black people. Some of you have no shame
💯
I completely agree. I think they purposely click on videos pertaining to black people just to say “by what about-“
@@tarrynthedoula That is such an ignorant statement. 15,000 chinese workers came to America in the late 1800's to build railroad tracks that led to the expansion of an ever increasing industrial America. WW2 Navajo code talkers were crucial to the success of relaying information across the pacific theater which led to a decisive victory. 250,000 Filipino soldiers fought for America in WW2 . All in the hopes of attaining U.S citizenship which was denied of them. I can go on and on of the acheivements of various non white ethnic groups. Who have made signicant impact in improving and creating the America we know today. You saying that they had no role in creating this great nation is disrespecful to all of their sacrifices.
@@tarrynthedoula Their is literally an entire month dedicated to black history. Where public schools all across the country are taught about black history.

Disgusting, horrifying.
They were the ones with no souls.

duh black people
@@karisima6060 Notice everything they say about us pertains to them.
Everything that they’ve done to us was only their projection of what they knew about themselves.
It’s sad we’re still taught this in nursing school and I see it regularly as a staff nurse now. It’s so frustrating.
I am not black but i can relate to this becauae when Korea was colonized by Japanese they also did a lot of horroblie living body experiement (unit 731 search for it on the internet if cutious) under the name of "scientific research" i can not even imagine how would i feel if there are statues of those horrible japanese men out somewhere in the public being praised of their action over my ancestors dead body.... people are really sick sometimes.... this world needs love and unity not hatred and division. Much appreciate this channel so that i could learn this bit of historu that still affecting the present.
I did not know this happened. It's horrific. Take the statue down.
Although he did horrific things, unfortunately without experimentation he wouldn’t have made strides in modern gynecology. Statue should stay up but with more information about the contributions of black women and the sacrifice that they made without their consent.
@@cn9800
Experiment on your own people, evil is evil.
If the statue is removed, we will inevitably all forget the evil things he did. The statue should stand albeit with clarification that this man performed heinous acts of torture and malpractice in pursuit medical breakthroughs. With this addition his legacy as a pioneer in women's health is maintained but his infamy is also noted. Allowing passer bys to know that such breakthroughs in gynecology came at the expense of innocent lives.
Mel Froggatt let’s start a petition
Let the statue stay, but put in the part how he treated those woman, use it to expose the truth.
As a white woman I cannot begin to imagine what it must feel like, to know how much all your ancestors have been abused & to see that so many hundreds of years later, you are still not being treated as equal by so many. This breaks my heart.
Eve lion thank you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I don't want to be equal to you demons!
these replies should be ashamed, this isnt white guilt it's called HUMAN EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING. Thankyou Eve, not many white folk can understand the extent at which the black race has undergone since the dawn of time. It is nice to know that there are humans with understanding hearts who truly care for the well-being of others.
@@abryannahjames4315 For your safety, stop falling for symbolic statements. Eve Lion said she was heart broken. She didn't say she was doing anything to help. The "doctors" in the video became empathetic towards the black women's mistreatment but never stopped Simms. How did that help the black women? Look for clear actions that help your people and treat such people's words as them making themselves feel better. It is NOT intended to help black people.
@@sulabulunji Empathy and understanding is better than none at all a
regardless, and should be appreciated
Thank you for this information, it's so sad.
I’m a black man. When i was 16 i had surgery for scoliosis and had 2 metal rods put on my spine. When my epidural was removed 2 days after surgery instead of being given prescription pain medicine they gave me Tylenol because he believed that the pain was not great enough for any prescription pain killer.
Watching this during Black Lives Matter protests...
Me to..
Me too
It's a riot
Josephina Mungaray uhhh....we said protests not “riot”
@@sal5007 Yea, I know but it's not a protest anymore.
I recently had to have a back tooth removed and part of my infected jaw. The surgeon was white and he prescribed me with ibuprofen after that. After getting home and sleeping. The anesthesia started to wear off and I took an ibuprofen. My jaw was in so much pain. I just laid there. The surgery was on a Thursday. My jaw was hurting so bad that I slept all day that Friday and sat. Sunday my jaw hurt so bad that I was rolling in the bed and I couldn't sleep. Monday morning I called my dentist office and they told me to come in immediately. My dentist is a black woman. I explained to her the pain and she asked me's what did the surgeon prescribed me and I told her ibuprofen. It's like her jaw dropped. She said he had to cut out parts of your jaw that was completely infected. Which is a painful thing. And then she prescribed me something stronger. When I got home I had pudding and took the medicine and I instantly started feeling better. I'm now able to talk and my jaw feels a million times better and it's healed. All because my black dentist new what was up with the surgeon. Smh. Life isn't fair when you're a black woman, especially when you gotta get a procedure done.
Stop going to be treated by those who have proven time after that they care nothing about you.
Positive Energy literally most doctors and medical practitioners are white so how tf.
Sorry you had to go through that. I must say that sounds more like mere incompetence though.
I am pretty sure that was more about the surgeon being overly concerned about the opioid epidemic. I literally had the same thing take place and I am white
@Dash93 She had a tooth that needed to go. How about medical professionals stop being prejudice?

I remember watching this movie called 'Get Out' some time ago. I thought it was a eerie and strange albeit great way to describe racism, but looking at videos like this I realize it wasn't THAT far off from reality after all. Thanks for posting this informational video.

Those 7000 dislikes proves the point that America doesn't like to be faced with its faults. America doesn't like being told its fat, its illiterate, its uninformed or that it's made mistakes in the past that still reverberate today. The fact that people think racism is in the past and that we're immune to making the same mistakes we've done before represents the dangerous hubris that's going to be the death of us.
If we didn’t like to be faced with our faults IN THE PAST then why are we making videos about it right now

There is also a sordid history of medical experimentation of the disabled and those with mental and/or emotional issues. It breaks my heart to read stories like Henrietta Lacks and the HeLa cells. It breaks my heart even further to realize that even with the wealth of documentation, this comment section is littered with trolls, deniers, and racist who seem to be allergic to any history lesson that doesn't make them heroes and saviors.
BrythingRoom Facebook is doing it currently the former.
EXACTLY!!! THEAY ARE EVERYWHERE!!!! Yet they want peopleto let go. When you can't take critisism you can't fix history
