Just think about it, she was the last Congress person to own a slave in 1922. **1922**. My grandparents were children and babies then. Betty White was born then. So people need to stop it with “that was 400 years ago.”
She didn't own slaves in 1922 and she was Senator for a day, when she was in her 90s, appointed by the governor so she could deliver a speech to Congress for Women's suffrage.
Not only that, jim crow existed, forcing blacks and minorities to live in poverty and impoverished areas was a thing. Not paying them fair wages was a thing. All of that stuff stopped by about 1980, well after my parents were born. But apparently "no one alive went through that"
1922... 101 years ago... Not so long ago really huh?... America became a country in 1776.. and Abolished slavery in 1865 ... It took us as a country 89 years to Abolish slavery.... Not so long really huh?.....
It was never 400 years ago. Try using a calculator. 400 years would make it 2019. However slavery did not start until several years after 1619 which my ancestors arrived in Virginia.
I was reading about this lady when i first heard about how she was the first woman in the U.S senate; it's just appalling the kind of double standard mentality she created in her head, because it's appalling how one can fight for the equal rights of a certain group of people (white women in this case), and yet, be totally against the rights of another group of people... She was so against the rights of black people, that she felt the Jim Crow era was giving too much rights to black people, she called for the lynching of black people to be more frequent, was indirectly involved in the Wilmington insurrection of 1898; and this is the same person that was fighting for the equal rights of white women🤦
It’s not appalling at all lol everyone was pretty much racist at that time. She was literally taught at a young age into racism. Don’t judge people in a different era.
@@secretunknown253 she wasn’t always a child though. She lived to be a grown woman who could form her own thoughts and opinions of her own, a lot of racially rooted ones. “Don’t judge people in a different era” so you’re cool with hitler then too?

@@poopdeckpappy2658 It had to be amended several times... so obviously what the White supremacist founding hypocrites created wasn't all that good.

The greatest black on black crime is their continued efforts to focus their race on the past instead of educating their race on how to prosper as citizens in a free country.
Unlike most white Americans, I know I am descended from the Wales slaveholders in Kentucky. My children are also descended from Depew slaveholders in Virginia. Four of my five children renounce the NeoRepublican Fascist effort to return America to a nation of slaves. We should all recognize and admit to our heritage, so we can move on to a more perfect union.
As a black man, that's very honest and sincere truth. Trying to erase, whitewash, or deny the truth only leads to more anger and frustration from blacks who have lost so many to the atrocities committed on us by whites who willfully chose to hide or not acknowledge it so healing and healthy dialog can begin.
My great grandparents and great great, and great great greats may have been owned by your descendants. I am of Welsh and Melungeon blood. Thank you for your true statement. It’s a past that we can no longer run away from. Facing it starts true healing, not embarrassment or shame.
Like all Americans alive today, I was neither a slave nor a slave owner. If you want to be a part of some intergenerational, tribal conflict move to the Middle East. Otherwise, move on with your life.
I don’t understand why people are shocked by this “revelation”. I took a one year major in U.S. History in the late 70’s and this was taught to us at that time. America touts equal rights and they rally behind the hypocrisy of “All men are created equal”, but in its 246 year history, the United States has always been one of the most racist countries in the modern world. And even though racism is front and center in American media, minorities still fear for their lives and struggle to survive. The entire country is a joke.
No way, america is not one of the most racist countries in the world. That definitely falls on asians and if you don't think so, go to the asian countries.
I've been all over the world, and I'm from Latin America. The US is one of the LEAST racist countries in the world. It's called the land of the free for a reason. Also, statistically speaking, whites are more likely to be killed by the police than minorities are. Look up the UCR for information.
it’s so wild how we can understand concepts like fractals, and gawk at the “scientific development” but can’t grasp inherited behaviors in society & how they manifest today.
Honestly, I love History and honestly looking at from whatever point in time and looking to present day. I just see all of the issues of old times molded into something new/different. Like it has a different twist to is certain times.
Slavery produced wealth and therefore power for the owners and down pressed those enslaved and their descendants which is evident till date. Its the worst crime ever to be committed but yet the powerful enslaveers and their legal enforcers live on in liberty with no consequences.
Yes, those Africans who captured and sold people from other tribes to slavers got wealthy. Some plantation owners may have passed on wealth however most of them lost everything in the Civil War; which is cool with me.
Democrats & repugs switched sides on the civil rights issue. repugs change their principals instead of just saying hey, we can ALL agree on something. Barry Goldwater was for civil rights until he wanted to run for president to get himself power & he had to run against President Johnson, he could have said hey, that's something that is great for the country & we can agree on that but repugs to often " feel" they have to argue about every issue if a democrat is for something instead of sticking to their own principals & what's Best for the country. We need more politicians that will put what's BEST for ALL American citizens above their own power ambitions & lack of principals!!!

@@ihaveacar Lincoln did NOT own slaves. If anything Dems like Biden's predecessors who fought for the institution, were the likely owners. As for Biden, he has personally owned the "new jim crow" policies that have helped create the high incarceration rates for Black folks; a primary exploiter of the "13th amendment loophole": in which involuntary servitude is still legal in the US when under incarceration. It has helped to create a population under such legal slavery that is close to the total population of slaves in 1860 US!
@Chill Will your ancestors owned slaves too. What’s your point? Is people like you and the rest in this thread that prove why we cannot heal and move on as a nation. You can get over the fear that if we find out that were going to enslave you, because guess what, we already know, we just need you to admit it and own up to it and then let it go.
Not exactly sure how this is helpful at all, but ok. Seems to me like more needless race-baiting from those who thrive off of division and suffering, but that's just me.
I don’t know I think if Jim Crow and human zoos didn’t exist until the 1960s and apartheid till the 90s you would have more of a point. But because these ideas are within living memory many still have residual prejudices and did not know or understand the severity of prosecution. In order for history to not repeat itself it must be revelead not burrows
Question.. What is the real goal / reason to investigate this subject? Wasn't it known already, you're talking about that time ? Is it about rewriting history books? Or..
They are no longer what this country represents. They are names that should not be erased and should not be idolized. I disagree with the destruction of a monument, but not the replacement with a more virtues symbolic figure representing modern ideology.
The 13th amendment was ratified January 31, 1865…the emancipation proclamation, what I think you’re referencing, was put into law January 1, 1863, and only applied to confederate states that left the union…who needs to keep up? 🤦🏾♀️ You definitely flunked history class.
Think of this dear woman. Do you think she'd support feminism or women's suffrage if she could've seen where we'd be in 2022? She was based af, but totally misguided.
Prior to the emancipation proclamation it was an accepted practice to own slaves....you can NOT cast morality issues using today's standards on people living over 160 years ago!!! This is just a waste of time....
@@WildRhymer Yea, that's fine and all, so what about jim crow then? What about the burning down of black businesses? What about being forced to live in poverty? What about generational wealth?
Anyone want to ask why she wanted to hang those people? I think we are missing the context of that time. A portion of the blacks were out of control in those times
It wasn’t even great for white women hence she was a suffragist - more over if you were poor and white you were treated worse than a well of Mexican 😭but sure
Today, any household or business that won't pay their workers a living wage is a slave owner. If room and board is part of the compensation, no matter. Total benefits should add up to a living wage relative to the community workers live in. About minimum wage laws. Even lawmakers who don't vote for a bill that defines minimum wage in terms of a living wage in the community where the work is done, is aiding and abetting slave ownership. This fairness centered belief is why I'm not a conservative. It is time we lived up to US Constitutional values that birthed the United State's quest for a "more perfect Union."
If you are interested in slave ownership, look no further than China Wigger's. Do they still keep slaves in Africa, and the middle east? A living wage was what you had, in the 1950's and 1960's, before inflation drug women out of their homes for a second income. Now they wonder why women can't provide the 2.5 average children. Could it be they are all working full time jobs? Women didn't push woman's lib., the government did. Women went to work, because their husband's salaries were devalued. Be careful, because that same government is working at reaching 10% inflation, again.
We have people who work for Walmart owned by one of the richest family's in the world who have to also receive welfare benefits and no healthcare yet they have a job that work hard at

Both sides were evil.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.

I'm totally convinced that Geraldine Ferarro would have if she had a chance.
Why is anyone surprised?
Because this is rarely taught if ever and people are fighting now to keep it out of schools.
This was 160+ years ago. We can only move forward instead of continually looking backwards. You can look at any group in the world and see heinous crimes committed by ancestors. Are we going to be outraged about this as well or move forward?
That's what all the nazis said at the end of ww2 .... nothing to see here folks ...
Just so we are perfectly clear, I still carry that burden and heartbreak that my ancestors carried 160+ years ago… 100 years ago, I would’ve been lynched if I just so happen to be more successful than my white counterparts, 60 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to vote, check your privilege.
@@7ynobeus You and countless other groups can say the exact same thing. With that mentality, it never ends. That is the problem. If no conscious effort is made to move forward, we stay stuck in the past and wind up consumed by hatred, fear, and division.
@@7ynobeus You just keep living that hypothetical life then. Sounds like you're very happy.
@@DarkPassenger I sure will, thank you for your concern…
Washington Post MUST be consistent and change the company and paper's name!
Do it before they get cancelled!
The name MUST be removed from the District and State as well!
Change it to Lincoln or Obama DC!
Lincoln owned slaves.
@@ihaveacar Lincoln did NOT own slaves. If anything Dems like Biden's predecessors who fought for the institution, were the likely owners.
As for Biden, he has personally owned the "new jim crow" policies that have helped create the high incarceration rates for Black folks; a primary exploiter of the "13th amendment loophole": in which involuntary servitude is still legal in the US when under incarceration.
It has helped to create a population under such legal slavery that is close to the total population of slaves in 1860 US!
@Chill Will your ancestors owned slaves too. What’s your point? Is people like you and the rest in this thread that prove why we cannot heal and move on as a nation. You can get over the fear that if we find out that were going to enslave you, because guess what, we already know, we just need you to admit it and own up to it and then let it go.
@@ihaveacar his wife actually, but yes, bad man. Bad bad man! Bad!
Not exactly sure how this is helpful at all, but ok. Seems to me like more needless race-baiting from those who thrive off of division and suffering, but that's just me.
I don’t know I think if Jim Crow and human zoos didn’t exist until the 1960s and apartheid till the 90s you would have more of a point. But because these ideas are within living memory many still have residual prejudices and did not know or understand the severity of prosecution. In order for history to not repeat itself it must be revelead not burrows
Great news and thank you
Question.. What is the real goal / reason to investigate this subject? Wasn't it known already, you're talking about that time ? Is it about rewriting history books? Or..
I don't think they teach this country n school and whites are fighting to keep it that way.
Maybe it's to counter the popular claim that only Democrats owned slaves?
They are no longer what this country represents. They are names that should not be erased and should not be idolized. I disagree with the destruction of a monument, but not the replacement with a more virtues symbolic figure representing modern ideology.
Hypocrite people
Good Lord, Rebecca Felton (US Senate-Republican-GA) was a freaking freak.
Her name was Rebecca Latimer, and she was a Democrat.
slavery was abolished in 1863, try and keep up
you should tell the southern states about that ... they obviously haven't heard ...
The 13th amendment was ratified January 31, 1865…the emancipation proclamation, what I think you’re referencing, was put into law January 1, 1863, and only applied to confederate states that left the union…who needs to keep up? 🤦🏾♀️ You definitely flunked history class.
Doesn't mean that people didn't continue to break that law. Same for jim crow which was less than 50 years ago. . .
We can always count of MSM to keep the past alive
That’s quite a stretch.
Think of this dear woman. Do you think she'd support feminism or women's suffrage if she could've seen where we'd be in 2022? She was based af, but totally misguided.
That’ll win the midterms. 🙄
REPARATION... ADOS
Slavery is bad. The End.

History of the democratic party
I love her quote
Sounds like a real winner.... good on america... be proud?🤣
Who cares? Stop looking backwards....we arent going that way!
And people wonder why im prejudice towards white people
How tf old are they?
One hundred years from now they will provide a database of all of us who drove gas cars ...we will be vilified for such actions!!!
Prior to the emancipation proclamation it was an accepted practice to own slaves....you can NOT cast morality issues using today's standards on people living over 160 years ago!!! This is just a waste of time....
@@WildRhymer Preach.
@@WildRhymer
Yea, that's fine and all, so what about jim crow then? What about the burning down of black businesses? What about being forced to live in poverty? What about generational wealth?
Highly doubt that...
@@Delimon007 he doesn't care. He has no idea what he speak upon and the current effects in place.
Fake news
Strictly speaking this paper should not exist today. It went bankrupt years back against the nyt. Its a golem.
You know what this is? Lack of black hidtory credit in school. Most these presenters dont absorb this correctly.
I have to thumb down this video, because if that wutch!!
And guess what? She was a Democrat lol.
Who would most likely be a republican today like her reincarnation Marjorie Taylor green
...
Wow …. And this is going to improve our lives how, exactly?! More talk and less actions? Congratulations
It’s just history. Trying to accurately paint a picture of the past.
Not everything needs to change something. This is for looking at the past and examining how it affects the world today.
Knowledge is a light in darkness.
It rattles you
Anyone want to ask why she wanted to hang those people? I think we are missing the context of that time. A portion of the blacks were out of control in those times
A democrat
and?
great old woman
I agree with her statement. She said nothing black people 🙄
Did Biden make the list?
I say yall should be glad that they brought yall over to the states or yall wNted to stay in Africa
cry harder
*When The United States actually was a Great Country*
It wasn’t even great for white women hence she was a suffragist - more over if you were poor and white you were treated worse than a well of Mexican 😭but sure
Today, any household or business that won't pay their workers a living wage is a slave owner. If room and board is part of the compensation, no matter. Total benefits should add up to a living wage relative to the community workers live in. About minimum wage laws. Even lawmakers who don't vote for a bill that defines minimum wage in terms of a living wage in the community where the work is done, is aiding and abetting slave ownership. This fairness centered belief is why I'm not a conservative. It is time we lived up to US Constitutional values that birthed the United State's quest for a "more perfect Union."
If you are interested in slave ownership, look no further than China Wigger's. Do they still keep slaves in Africa, and the middle east? A living wage was what you had, in the 1950's and 1960's, before inflation drug women out of their homes for a second income. Now they wonder why women can't provide the 2.5 average children. Could it be they are all working full time jobs? Women didn't push woman's lib., the government did. Women went to work, because their husband's salaries were devalued. Be careful, because that same government is working at reaching 10% inflation, again.
String Monkey: bruh, China 😳 Really? The TOPIC is 🇺🇸
We have people who work for Walmart owned by one of the richest family's in the world who have to also receive welfare benefits and no healthcare yet they have a job that work hard at

No Dude .. not the same thing. Your comparison minimizes the horror of real slavery.
