They actually didn’t want to represent Claudette because she was a young single pregnant black lady which is kind of messed up. She did what she did and should get the recognition regardless. ✊🏾
Antuan Grantham that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t deserve recognition!!
So done with hearing about age discrimination, like your robbing of us our damn rights.... so we can respect them Later? The Frick? From child actors to children who report abuse in foster care. They. Don't. Give. A. Shoot.
It also had to do with colorism too. I studied up on it. Rosa was picked because lighter black people were supposedly "more pleasing to the eye."
And dark skin
When you’re fighting a system which is predicated on the fact that you’re sub human and need stricter rules because you’re unable to look after yourself due to poor intellect; a single pregnant 15 year old is not who you should draw attention to - it’d feed into the “they’re irresponsible” stereotype that they rely on.
Rosa Parks was light skinned, married and employed - the acceptable face of civilised blacks.
It sucks but it’s the way of the world.
not surprised that it's a 15 year-old who started the whole movement, such acts of courage are usually shown by younger and more zealous people
MeiHua Zhu facts!
Oh the difference between then and now. These days most teens are just disrespectful little pieces of shit who feel they're entitled to everything while doing no work. Funny huh.
Ally B
Ok boomer
MeiHua Zhu I’m not surprised either
@@allyb3510 have u been sleeping for the past 3 years????
You know what's sad, I never heard about claudette, only heard about rosa parks. I think it's awesome that someone so young actually began such a movement but shitty that she never got any recognition really
Hey Mister DJ don’t be a rude bitch. Not everyone has to research shit to learn. TH-cam clearly has a lot that can be learned. Miserable fuck.
@Hey Mister DJ you can't research something that you dont know that you dont know
Look up Elizabeth Jennings Graham as well you'll be even more shocked I didn't learn about her until earlier this year.
I learned about it in my African American history class, it's more in depth than a regular history class
I heard about her when I was studying about Rosa
Surprising that all these years of my life I never knew she existed! Now I’m doing a presentation for my class about her because more people need to know about her.
She was "too dark" and young. It's a shame that those factors made her an individual that would be shown less compassion.
But politics is strategy.
And pregnant.
And unwed
It was because she was pregnant and not married.
Tae Love I know...💁🏾♀️
This is us Check the timeline. She wasn’t pregnant when they made that decision. Her skin color was the main factor.
I went to high school with Mariah Wilson(the one playing Claudia) she’s such a beautiful human being, so happy for her and her success!
Weird flex but ok 😂
Me toooooo!
@@jeromegreen3654
Why the fuck did you feel the need to ask that??? 😑
Didn’t she play Effie’s daughter in Dreamgirls
@@DaiKozui its a legitimate question
For anyone getting the idea that Rosa Park was "fake". There was nothing fake about her arrest and things like this happened a lot. The Civil Rights movement just made sure to organize a planned response to it, to make sure to put a stop to it. Rosa Parks was a diligent acitivist for Civil Rights and that fact should make her MORE celebrated, not less. But Claudette Colvin should also be rememberd and celebrated.
Thank you! That was exactly what I was thinking. They orchestrated something to initialise a movement, but the cause of the resentment was there, and in full steam!
Thank You...
I'm at a lost of words at the comments I'm seeing. So many people lack just plain simple critical thinking skills....
...except you.
Agreed!!! Both women were very courageous and the NAACP knew that they had to be strategic in order to achieve what they were fighting for
This should be the most liked!
Ummm I’m black and that shit was fake. Not the movement, but them stealing the recognition from a young, darker skin woman. You can say whatever but that shit ain’t right
It’s sad that I learned this from Comedy Central and not from school
It's Kenny Kell This makes me sideeye everything I’ve been taught about Black History and everything else😒
It's Kenny Kell I learned about her in 2004 in a class at the Women shelters🤷♀️
Most all Am. history textbooks are written by conservative white men, to get aproved by the Texas Board of Ed, the biggest market especially considering all the other states that just follow suit.
MissB The Queen same here!!
Same
So in a way Claudette Colvin is the Nikola Tesla of the civil rights movement?
The reason they chose to set up Rosa parks instead of issuing Claudette is because they wanted somebody with a clean record and didn’t have anything going for them that the media could Tear apart. Claudette had allegedly had runs in with the law, no charges but she wasn’t considered and outstanding citizen. She supposedly wasn’t really thought highly of in her community and like the video said she got pregnant at a young age and had really dark skin(sad but the NAACP knew they would have a better chance with somebody lighter skin to be accepted). Rosa parks had a squeaky clean record and the NAACP knew that there probably wasn’t anything legitimate the media could bring up about Rosa to discredit her. They wanted to emphasize that these were peaceful protest and were very careful selecting people who couldn’t be proved as criminals, which is basically what white peoples thought all black people were back then
Not in a way....She IS the mother of the civil rights movement.
@@taylorhigginbotham1993 Wow, that's actually a really good explanation. Hadn't thought about it like that. It's really sad that it had to happen that way, but it does make sense.
Correct
@@taylorhigginbotham1993 that's true but the only thing you got wrong was Claudette record. Her record was clean its just that she had two children at the time by different fathers and dropped out of school.
"Uh oh a white lady" 😂
Said every manager ever.
Classic - in 2020 that still rings true. We see you... "Karen"
As a white lady I react the same way to reflective surfaces.
Yup. Definitely still uh oh...
@@ellielindsay8507 comedy gold
The storyteller and the actor who played Claudet are both super cute. They both got this bubbly cuteness about them I love it.
There are hours of narrator's bubbly cuteness and sharp wit on TH-cam. :) Just search "Amber says what" and "Jokes Seth can't tell".
Get you some Amber Ruffin yo
Well yeah. Amber is a national treasure
Happy birthday Ms. Claudette Colvin, September 5, 1939 😍🎂
Hey my moms birthdays that day
Aaron Anand Well happy belated birthday to your mother!
“Sorry I burped”
“It-“
“But I’m NOT sorry! Sorry, what?”
“I was just saying-“
“So anyways...”
😂 love her
“Wait, what?!”
I was just saying like-
“-SOo the NAACP..” 😭
Briana Lovell that was cold lmao
Public service announcement: there’s a book called Claudette Colvin: Twice Towards Justice if you’re interested in learning more about her!
Kelly Giancotti I read in 6th grade! I feel so ahead of the game, I’m a senior now 😍
Kelly Giancotti by Phillip Hoose. Everyone should have read this.
I read that in middle school shows how old I am
@@bign3864 same
Ahhh! I read this book too! I got it as a b-day present.
Drunk or sober, Amber is so adorable!
Im seeing comments that you guys never heard of Claudette Colvin??? Im from Ecuador and when we studied American history, we were taught about Rosa AND Claudette, its really messed up that your school system hide the truth of someone who made a change :(
They hid alot.
You really learned this in Equador? That's amazing. I went to an all black school and never heard of Claudette till today, I'm 30 years old.
In 1955, respectability politics was a real thing.
Or they assumed we could look up and learn history on our own.
Hailey Landeen they should teach us this stuff in school.
Drunk history is always teaching me more than school did
This event happened in March 1955.
Her baby was born in March 1956. She found out she was pregnant in July. She was deemed a troublemaker the moment she was arrested was rejected outright by her community from the beginning. No matter what excuse they gave to drop her, she should have at the very least been celebrated when the smoked cleared but they just kept on with the facade. It’s surprising because Rosa Parks got to know this girl very well after after her arrest in March. She’s done interviews explaining away her reason as to why she did it and completely skips over her inspiration as if it just popped into her head. Lying the first time is one thing but 20 to 30 to 40 years later. How? How do you do that? Did they not care what it would feel like to go through all of the negatives of being an activist without receiving any acknowledgement? That girl still has a record. We’re a whole 70 years later and she still hasn’t REALLY been recognized. Guess it’s because she’s still pregnant. 🤷🏾♀️🤰🏾
Almost the most disturbed that she got kicked out of Highschool for being pregnant
My big sister got pregnant and they banned her from the graduation ceremony. Teen mothers need more education not less.
i thought the moral degeneracy was a new thing....guess the single mother thing has always been a thing
cindy lou
do you smoke crack? is it crack you smoke???
@@meesh8753 Seems like it
I come from a private school education. Seems normal to me. Schools that are ok with pregnant underaged girls arent exactly great institutes of learning. If we werent so lax about this there would be less teen parents today.
She was the original however they chose not to use her as the face due to her being pregnant, young , and unwed . It wasn’t the look they wanted to have for the movement.
Well the man who got her pregnant was married, just not to her. Not an ideal look today, can't imagine in 1950's America.
@@dandeleon2764 Not to forget she was completely underage so he shoulda been in j a i l
They could use her for the star witness when many others did not want to testify.
How are you, cup?" LMAO
4:07 "where was i?" *squishes face into fishy lips to jog memory*
"How are you, cup?" is possibly the most adorable line.
AMBER RUFFIN!
I love her! She needs her own show!
She's soo sweet and kind! Polite even while swearing and drunk.
She seems like she'd be a great friend, a wonderful neighbor or coworker.
Lillian Swaim I have some good news. She’s getting her own show.
Bwaaah “I’m moving to Burning Man” that’s great
Amber singing "How are you, cup?" is one of the cutest things ever.
She’s such an adorable drunk.
How Amber is actually a person and not an amazing cartoon pretending to human is beyond me! She's adorable! Funny, smart, damn fine. Love her!
So was anyone in my school years gonna tell me about Claudette Colvin, or was I supposed to find out from an episode of Drunk History myself?
I have a master's degree, and this is the first I've heard of it. I feel embarrassed for myself and for my education system.
I know about it from my College History teacher he knew a lot about history that wasn’t in the book
morgan glenn A lot of true history doesn’t make into the books.
@@MsSphinx91 wow 🤦🏾♀️wtf
Imagine what other historic events you dont know, that have been misrepresented or intentionally forgotten because it doesn't fit the communistic, fake news narrative of the day!
Money makes the news, writes the books and enters the official documents into the record before the truth has awoken from slumber.
The lawyer doing the bankhead bounce when they win the case 😂😂😂💀
"You're great"
"YOU're great"
they really connect~
women friendship has not changed i love it
She was pregnant and since it was the 1950s they did not want a 15 year old pregnant teenager to be the face of the civil rights movement. So they chose Rosa parks and some others.
In 1955, respectability politics was a real thing.
If you ever have the chance to visit Rosa Parks museum in Montgomery, they recognize Claudette Colvin as the first one to refuse her seat.
Claudette found out through a flyer and was like... WHAT!? I love Amber, lol
4:33 i'm going to give birth like this.
Hahahahahha BAM 😂
Samantha Bernard If only it was that easy😂
I mean, that would be the optimal way😂
Amber's drunk laugh is so cute lol
“Hooray we’re having a fun trip to-home.”
My name is Claudette and I feel ashamed that I've never once heard about this Claudette... what a ripoff. Thanks, public school.
I’m glad that one of my teachers taught me about Claudette at a young age, more kids should learn about her
"It's my job right now to tell storieeeeeez!!!!!
How are you Cuhp*"
Literally laughed out loud crying tears
I learned about Claudette in 6th grade, she’s truly amazing and it’s shocking that not enough people know about her
Joan of ark, Arsinoe, and now Claudette I’m amazed at 1. Drunk history is teaching me so much and 2. How many young females have accomplished so much!
This is my favorite guest on this show every time, she’s the bomb
One of my fave Drunk History episodes. Glad it’s posted again.
LISA MUTHAFUCKIN BONET!!!!!!!!
ashley j 20years ago..
*In high pitched voice* "time passes"
Amber's drunk voice never gets old! 🤣🤣😆
I had never seen a drunk history before. Was pretty funny.
You should watch some more, they are hilarious 😁
ashley j As well as informative!
I hated history when I was in school... Discovered this a week ago and I'm loving it! Watching every day 😂
Exactly, the original! I think of this lady every time Rosa Parks or Civil rights is mentioned.
“Alright we’re having a fun trip to w-home” 😂
1.25
"SO.. Wait, what?"
"-I was just saying th-"
"So the..."
LMAO
"Oh-oh a white Lady" Why is this literally me ? 🤣
I never knew this story, this show is so great and she’s my favorite storyteller lol
these segments taught me more then 12 years of school did
Me too sadly
Wonderful sketch. It is so crazy how in order to make history, not all of the history makers will be remembered. And it’s hard to control who gets the credit or doesn’t, but you gotta do what you gotta do to begin a revolution.
You *know* Amber has got to be a happy drunk. Luv u Amber!!
Happy Birthday Claudette Colvin!!! Sept 5th
"Will you testify....yes let me have this baby 😅🤣
This show helps to make learning history fun. I retained all of the information and I laughed while doing so.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Here on Rosa Parks Day - May the heavens bless Ms. Colvin and the late Ms. Parks 🙏🇺🇸
Been watching these clips lately. And I gotta say, Amber's storytelling is awesome. Between her story and the girl lipsyncing it was death by adorable. Lol
"Move"
"i ShAlL nOt Be MoVeD!"
Such an icon.
This is my absolute favorite reenactment on this show. This young actress is awesome.
My mom told me about Claudette back when I was a young kid.
Times were different back then. Lighter skinned people were given more privileges in most cases. And being an unwed mother was very, very frowned upon.
I heard of this story before, excellent theme for an episode! Claudette Colvin was Rosa Parks before Rosa Parks. ❤
But we all love both, of course. It's not a competition: all of us in favor of civil rights fight together. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻✊️
her: “AAAA so wait what?”
him: “i was saying-“
her: continues
Awww the drunk lady sounds like a 5 year old telling a story🤣
I love Amber, great information, but anytime I see Lisa Bonet is such a treat.
"Wow, you've just really crushed that" --
Ah yeah..... 🙄🤣🤣🤣
0:38 "Oh-oh, White lady!!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I died!!!
Wow, so much history this video taught me a lot about Claudette.
I love the way she narrated the story 😄
Thank you for making this video. This is exactly what we need, the true history.
Dawg, lmao this is why you don’t tell stories drunk! Claudette was already pregnant and the NAACP said well she being 15 and pregnant we can’t have her be the face.
I thought Rosa Parks was in the black section? There was spillover from the white section, which usually meant people in the black section had to move. But I guess that would be hard to orchestrate...
Yeah, she was in the Colored Section 👍🏾
MsSphinx91 also, they used Rosa as the face because she was in countless groups and they were able to draw on her network of friends and acquaintances to ensure more people were affected and would participate. Okay story telling but they left out a lot and twisted it in a negative way
Rebecca Colvin ‼️‼️facts
She was in the black section
I can't believe I'm learning something important by somebody who is DRUNK. But damn, I'll take it. I'm taking notes for my essay. 💀
I heard about her....craziness. I was shocked...I’m glad her story is being told.
“Imma get the cops!”, lmbo!
😆👮😆👮😆👮😆👮😆
I was trying to explain this to my mom that Rosa parks wasn’t the first to protest the bus. And my mom said she wasn’t protesting she was just tired 😂
Claudette Colvin wasn't the first either and Rosa Parks did say she was just tired and wasn't moving that day
That was pretty funny. Now I want to see more of her. Much more.
She deserves a movie as well!
This is still hilarious.
I actually have learned a lot from these Drunk History lessons.👏❤
Lisa bonet looks like rosa parks 🤣🤣
I just like Drunk Black history.... Is that bad? Kisses from Ecuador 🇪🇨
My daughter had to research Rosa Parks for a project one year and we stumbled across her story I highly suggest reading about her this only touched the amount of stuff she went through
He said she crushed it?! She hit it out the Park! Ha!
I was doing some historical research on the Civil Rights movement and was quite pleasantly surprised Claudette came up. Wonder why I never learned about her in school. It was always Rosa Parks.
Wow thank you for this story, it is not shared enough :)
Amber is so adorable! I love this story because of her!
This was the best one I've seen yet!
The random people that show up to mosh just get me everytime 🤣
I have been reading a book to kids about Rosa Parks all week. Now I wish there was a children's book about Claudette I could share with them too.
I can see what Jason Momoa sees in Lisa... She is dropdead gorgeous omg the struggles of bisexuality
For a second I thought you were saying Momoa was bisexual. Thought I had missed on celebrity gossip.
Claudette Colvin, you are one bad ass lady. I shamefully did not your name until today but I will for sure remember it from here on out. Also, I wish you had really burped in those cops' faces...
Felt good seeing that, right?
Wow I actually learned something new from this, great story!!
Nice history lesson in layman's terms👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽... she was truly Brave at such a young with many obstacles in her way❗ she still stood her ground✊🏽
This should be taught in schools and she souls be recognized nationally
The arduous history behind this story notwithstanding...I want to have drinks and talk about life with Amber!
She is so much fun!!! And the story was amazing
That appears to be THE restored bus, that Rosa Parks had her run-in on, that I got to visit and sit in that resides at the Ford Museum in Detroit, that they used for the episode! Great experience, highly recommend it. Drunk History is the best!
