There’s a movie on this we used to watch in school called Rosewood. It’s worth a watch. My classmates great grandmother was the last remaining survivor. She recently passed.
Yeah Ive seen it a few times...watched it in middle school back in the 90s..great actors and well done but it's almost like watching Schindler's list..disturbing and very sad.
@@lilacopeland9624 I used to think racism was becoming a non-issue but I was wrong...found out it's the media mostly that stokes that fire...they don't want actual "Unity and Peace"...it simply isn't profitable... It's why they hate on trump so much when they all used to love him..he "upsets the applecart" and the machine doesn't like that.
Basically the same or similar has happened in Ocoee, FL, Tulsa, Wilmington and many many more prosperous Black towns across america. Thank you for telling this story.
I grew up in Ocoee and did not know about it’s history until years after I moved away 😢 Not surprising that our schools didn’t teach us anything about it.
At first I thought Rosewood was a malapropism for Greenwood because much of what happened is so similar. The fact that this story could even be confused with a separate incident is infinitely sadder.
Good job on getting this out in the open. I'm so happy that the families got some compensation, even though it was not close to enough. Love the series! Thank you...🙏🙌😎🤩🤟
As a Floridian myself. I'm ashamed that this happened regularly 😢. As a caring human being. This is beyond heartbreaking that people are truly MONSTERS😢💔
My mother in law is from Florida. She is white and her family has been in the state since the early 1500s. She had many stories about racist violence that occurred on a regular basis. Her own father was visited by members of the KKK after he was seen giving an elderly black woman a ride home with her groceries. His response to them was too vulgar to repeat here but they never bothered him again.
Heart 💔 breaking 😢😢😢. Every single country has a dark past. Nobody today is guilty of the long gone past. I'm Polish but I don't hold a grudge against Austrians and Germans for what Austrian born Hitler did to the Polish people and Poland. Evil people always existed and always will , starting with Cain and Abel till the end of the human race unfortunately.
Have we ? Some are watching things like taking away books 😢 not feeding the unfortunate children school lunches . I think parents should be loud because the government gave themselves a per diem hike which pays they're meal
@@ieishagaston3319 Sorry, it was a typo. No. We haven't gained ground. And now we are on the verge of losing more ground. That is why I weep. We need to be stronger in educating everyone about such past horrors!
Thank you so much for doing this one! Coming from a African American as myself this means alot! i learned more from this story you did actually! Rosewood is very limited on info and background regarding what happened
Look up the Black Wall Street Massacre of 1921, the fact that atrocities like these and many more have been , and in some cases still are committed, and denied,literally makes my soul hurt. I wish people would be able to celebrate each other's success and not feel threatened. Thank you again for your eloquent way of bringing these painful stories to the collectives attention. Stay safe out there all y'all.
Yet - Germany fully acknowledged their horrific past and have worked hard to show they rewrote their future. Says a lot why Florida won't teach this... someone can learn something 😂
It's like my history teacher said. "You can repeat the mistakes of the future if you don't know the past." I'm not saying what happened was a big mistake, it's horrific, but you get what I mean.
With the way we judge others based on the color of skin, there's no telling if Rosewood will happen again to either side, in my opinion. I've seen it on both sides and I hate it equally.
I've heard this story. It's horrible. I can't believe people wiped almost an entire town. I think it is disgusting that Florida even had to think about compensating the relatives of Rosewood. Thank you for bringing this out in the open.
Bless. I love these somewhere sinister more than this is monsters because there's no cringe interrogation to sit through. 50% of why I'm here is the voice.
Thank you for all the work you put into this, its our job as viewers and american citizens to learn about our own history, and you make it 100% easier to do so!
Wow this so tragic it's making me sick to listen tbh ... but it is told so well and sensitively I listened until the end. Those poor people, I am horrified to know this happened and that is not more widely known about and studied. It's so so sad that those savages were never punished and those poor people never saw a grain of justice. And the description of those white men savages is spot on. Even the Neanderthals were more civilised. God bless every person and their families 💔❤💔
I lived in that area. The whole area is still doing shitty. Notice how often lakeland, Clearwater, Tampa and Polk county are mentioned in the news. It's called a curse. There's an area around Texas like that too. If you want to look up the lynchings in MANOR, TEXAS around the 20s there's a story of an innocent black man being dragged to death by a car through manor Texas and to this day nothing prospers in that area.
I live close to Manor, Texas. And you’re right, many towns with a bad history tend to decline or just never prosper. I think the reason behind this is that once something horrible happens, people move away, and no one wants to live there. This makes the local economy fail. There becomes a lack of funds for upkeep in the community. Property taxes plunder devaluing the property and the homes. I hate to say it, and it’s so unfair, but the poor have to move where they can afford to live. The inner cities within Texas (Manor being on the outskirts) are so incredibly expensive. The average price for a home in Texas is over 300k.😮
@@richardbarrow6606 I like that chapter also ... On early Monday an Thursday mornings I get anxious waiting for this is monsters... That's my favorite channel
My Australian husband, who loves your other channels, had no idea about Rosewood. When this episode started, I gasped and just whispered, "Oh Fck..." He looked at me and asked "What?" I just told him to watch and listen. He was riveted. Not saying a word throughout. When the episode ended. He looked at me and just quietly said "Whoa." I explained that this is the stuff that certain parties in America still want to suppress and deny; the ugly truth they want to keep swept under the carpet. This is the stuff people don't want other generations to learn about and feel angry about because of how brutally wrong it was and is. Keep doing the good work, Jiles.
Thank you Jiles for your calm voice when covering these brutal stories. It's critical that we understand our own histories so we can learn from them - and pass those lessons along. Long live Rosewood. 🌹
Jiles is truly the MVP when it comes to presenting and discussing topics that many people find uncomfortable to even think about. Few TH-camrs are even willing to breach the area that stories like this are rooted in. Especially with tact.
Thank you for this video. I don't believe i have ever seen this covered so thoroughly anywhere online. I saw the movie as a child in the 90s and that was horrific but this opens up a whole new window on the scope of the thing. I have lived in rural north Florida a little farther north of Rosewood most of my life and sadly many people still harbor terrible prejudice and a shocking number of towns up here remain de facto segregated to this day. It's incredible to me. People need to know history. In a postscript, you mentioned it was unusally cold for Florida when the survivors had to take refuge but what many outside the state don't know is that throughout the fall, winter and spring months, we often experience very cold temperatures for prolonged periods of time. The weather up here in north Florida is much closer to that of inland Georgia and Alabama and i am glad that more didn't die of simple exposure on top of the insane violence. Thanks again for your work. This is an excellent channel.
I love the movie “Rosewood “! But, i really haven’t seen any videos of this tragic story. & You done a great job & What a great start to your series Somewhere Sinister!
I am so glad you covered this. I was an outsider moving to Florida, like everyone seems to do, for a short time. So I didn't know the whole story about Rosewood, but a lot of people talked about it. My boss's parents were white people from Rosewood. They said that really, the more successful people in the town were black, because they came from people who were used to working hard, and they built businesses people could depend on. If you wanted quality work done on your car, it was the black community you took your car to. Same with all the businesses. So there was o crowd of whites who were used to the better people being the black community of Rosewood, and a crowd of whites who were jealous. You really covered this well.
I know that movies about true events usually put a spin on certain things for dramatic purposes or entertainment. but the movie "Rosewood" directed by John Singleton really changed up a few of those incidents so much that I don't even know if I want to watch it again. Great to hear a more accurate portrayal of what happened
I was a history minor, and digging up these stories of Black communities burned to the ground just makes the 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' contention all the more infuriating. I will find your official submission process, but I'd love if, for Black History Month, you did a couple of shorts like this - Rosewood is an excellent start, but few people know about Seneca Village. The horrifying story of Black Wall Street in Tulsa would be a great topic, I think. ...and for this is monsters, maybe a story about the first Black American serial killer on record.
I literally wondered about you last night and came to the channel to see if my comment about the intros had sworn you off video making 😂 This one was excellent, glad to see you back.
I just can't imagine how terrified the residents of Rosewood must have been. Getting this story out and others like this are so important, it's just so shocking, thank you for talking about it
I contacted you maybe two years ago, berating you about how one of your videos on TIM was racist. The video was NOT racist, I just reacted. I was obnoxious, belligerent, invasive, nasty, just downright rude. It was cowardly. I never would have done so in person. As a Black man, I carry the same pain that provoked my outburst everywhere I go 24/7. It’s like I’m living with an open wound gushing from my chest that people like to prod. This isn’t a justification, it’s an explanation. Thank you for this video. The wound I described is patched up, treated, and allowed to heal with every bit of content like this on the internet. Even comments give me hope. Knowing that there are allies out there that are unafraid and unwavering in their expression of solidarity is the light at the end of this seemingly endless tunnel. ❤
I assure you, I never mean to put out any content that may be taken as racist, but I’m human and I may word something wrong. I am always open to constructive feedback in those situations. I personally find the whitewashing of history in the country to be sad and we can only learn from our mistakes if we accept that they happened. I hope you continue to find healing in your life, but I totally get it if you still feel pain. Take care of yourself!
@@SomewhereSinister I want to clarify for anyone who sees this that the video I was angry about WAS NOT RACIST. It struck a personal nerve and I reacted. Was NOT the fault of TIM. Thank you for your response. It means a lot. Seriously ❤️
None of these stories have been white washed, if anything it's the opposite. Most people in the world have relatives in their bloodline that were slaves at sometime. If you consider wage slavery then we are all still slaves. This story teller is forced to tell a story a certain way to appeal to broader demographics.
@james robbins That is complete and utter bullshit and you know it. I don't believe you are so stupid that you believe everyone has been slaves and it completely negates the slavery that happened in the US. What else do you believe? The holocaust didn't happen? School shootings are all hoaxes? Put down the koolaid. No, I tell these stories accurately to help offset people like you who want to ban books about slavery and racism in the US. Why are white Americans so afraid for people to know the truth about how we've treated (or still treat) African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans? It's pretty telling. Please, do something to better yourself because with what you say now, you're either incredibly stupid or incredibly racist and neither are a good look.
@@SomewhereSinister Do you think you're going to end racism telling stories one sided the way you do? Acknowledging there was slavery since like the beginning of humans does not negate the slavery that took place in the US. All stories should be told accurately in their entirety. The US had a movement to end slavery after all the centuries of it being common. Why not be proud of that? Why make white Americans evil villains until the end of time? Your stories are black washed just like MSM did to the Jussie Smollett or Jordan Neely cases.
I first heard about the town of Rosewood from the featured film of the same name starred Ving Rhames and Jon Voight which came out in the late 90’s I believe…
I’m happy to see you’ve started back with SS!! I’ve checked for new ones for a long long time it seems! I know you’re a busy guy with your move, your family, your music, and your TH-cam work!! Thanks for all you do!

There’s also an incident in 1912 in cumming ga-there’s still a relatively small black population compared to other metro Atlanta areas
To this day my parents have large paintings of Sarah and Sylvester in their living room. True American history Icons.

Incredibly horrific Florida does not want this history taught in their schools. I cannot say with confidence this horror will not repeat itself.

Yet - Germany fully acknowledged their horrific past and have worked hard to show they rewrote their future.

My body was shaking as I listened to this 😔
I am so glad you covered this. I was an outsider moving to Florida, like everyone seems to do, for a short time. So I didn't know the whole story about Rosewood, but a lot of people talked about it. My boss's parents were white people from Rosewood. They said that really, the more successful people in the town were black, because they came from people who were used to working hard, and they built businesses people could depend on. If you wanted quality work done on your car, it was the black community you took your car to. Same with all the businesses. So there was o crowd of whites who were used to the better people being the black community of Rosewood, and a crowd of whites who were jealous. You really covered this well.

None of these stories have been white washed, if anything it's the opposite. Most people in the world have relatives in their bloodline that were slaves at sometime. If you consider wage slavery then we are all still slaves. This story teller is forced to tell a story a certain way to appeal to broader demographics.
@james robbins That is complete and utter bullshit and you know it. I don't believe you are so stupid that you believe everyone has been slaves and it completely negates the slavery that happened in the US. What else do you believe? The holocaust didn't happen? School shootings are all hoaxes? Put down the koolaid. No, I tell these stories accurately to help offset people like you who want to ban books about slavery and racism in the US. Why are white Americans so afraid for people to know the truth about how we've treated (or still treat) African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans? It's pretty telling.
Please, do something to better yourself because with what you say now, you're either incredibly stupid or incredibly racist and neither are a good look.
@@SomewhereSinister Do you think you're going to end racism telling stories one sided the way you do? Acknowledging there was slavery since like the beginning of humans does not negate the slavery that took place in the US. All stories should be told accurately in their entirety. The US had a movement to end slavery after all the centuries of it being common. Why not be proud of that? Why make white Americans evil villains until the end of time? Your stories are black washed just like MSM did to the Jussie Smollett or Jordan Neely cases.
Pls spend more time on this channel it’s been awhile since you uploaded a video here I had forgot about this channel. I enjoy somewhere sinister.
I love the intro so much. Glad SS is back!
I'm from Maine and I highly recommend learning about Malaga Island.
Yayyy.. You are back.. 🤗❤️👌
Welcome back.
Also after hearing stories like this it's obvious why DeSantis does not want CRT discussed in Florida
I first heard about the town of Rosewood from the featured film of the same name starred Ving Rhames and Jon Voight which came out in the late 90’s I believe…
