Much like the unfortunate Emmitt Till who had been instructed by his mother what not to say or do while visiting kin folks down south this person thought he'd speak up about the injustice done to he and his friends by a policeman down south but lived to talk about it. It must have been an awful time to live not knowing what might happen once you were outside your home.
Emmett Till's death was so horrific and I'm sure there were hundreds more young or older black people killed for only one reason. God bless Emmett's mother for having an open casket for her son at the funeral home. Prejudice and injustice were and are still rampant. And I despise both!

The Carolinas are still this way today North and South . I’m a Ex truck driver I have to stand up for a black man who wouldn’t stand for himself. And one time they didn’t want to serve us so I stop eating out when I was in the Carolinas I just eat out of my truck
Are you white I would think so because whites always think everything is okay. Because you’re not black and nobody ever made you feel like you’re not human. I’m just saying what saw when I was in the Carolinas a white girl called the police on a black man and said he said something to her and he didn’t. He comes in got a pack of cigarettes and a lottery ticket and walked over to me and a white Driver who was sitting next to me watching me play a game . We couldn’t believe what was happening when the police come over tell the man to get out and didn’t ask the man anything about what she said. Only until I tell the police she was a liar we was sitting here and he didn’t say anything to her and the other driver also said she is a liar and I couldn’t believe the black man just said Yes Sir. Didn’t ask why hurt me to my heart so me and the other driver check the police he could see we didn’t live in the Carolinas and wasn’t taken any shit off him or her. When I tell her she was a liar she said she thought he was talking shit to me trying to make up a other lie my first time in the Carolinas so I’m just telling my experience in the Carolinas
@@quiltingforthesoul you confuse people being absolute pricks with racism. Racism is being allowed to constantly berate a color like you are allowed to do to whites. Someone being a prick is what happened to you. You 100% racial profile, it's clearly in your DNA or your culture since that's the first thing out of your mouth was......are you white.....lol.
@Lazy Veteran same. But you know how these victims are; they drum up lies. As a matter of a fact NC is white and Hispanic more than black. So they didn't account for that in their made up story.
That's pretty disturbing how he was at the mercy of a little girl. A simple mistaken identity or the wish to see someone hurt by the police could have caused someone to die that day.
Thank you for this incredible video! I'm white but was a victim of reverse discrimination in the late 60's. I was with three female friends of mine when we went to Myrtle Beach. Of the four of us, I was the only one with dark hair and eyes and I tanned maybe too well but then I always did. We decided to go to a semi-swanky restaurant and my three friends were ahead of me, greeted and went inside. As for me? The man at the door said I couldn't go inside. "Why?" I asked him. His answer was "You can't go inside because you're black." I responded "No I am white." That did no good in arguing with him trying to explain. My three friends came outside looking for me: I told them what happened and we all left. Racism at its finest I experienced. There is no point in arguing with a bigot.
Thought he was Herbie Hancock when I saw the thumbnail. Anyway, this reminded me of a dear friend of mine who is from Georgia and how he hated his upbringing there because of all the racist crap he had to witness. Lucky for him, he's been out of the US for more than 2 decades I guess, but what about the people who cannot do that? He hated (hates) that place with a passion.
I thought the same! 😂😂😂 Yeah, like your friend, I left almost 20 years ago. I figured, if I'm going to be treated like a second, third or fourth class citizen, there might as well be a reason for it. Oddly enough, I've been treated a million times better. Go figure. 😂
See how long ago this happened. I am a white 56 year old woman from Northern Georgia. Yes I knew a few white men that were prejudice, but they were not very popular in the community. White people here didn’t like that talk. Some white men would even jump in verbally and tell them to shut up. I was very young and my grandmother told us grandkids if it ever got back to her that we were bullying or even calling our black citizens names she would wear us out. Then to get a whippin was very common and it was with what ever was close at hand. A very effective teaching tool for young children to learn by 😂. Granny never had to whip us, but trust me I listened and did what I was told cause I didn’t want one. Between my Grandparents, Jesus and cause we got took to church I turned out to be a pretty good person. No speeding tickets, no wrecks, I have manners still, I have respect for all races, but I do disagree with somethings that are just not right no matter how someone might try to pretty it up, wrong is wrong and treating someone bad cause of the color of their skin is wrong.
loki2240 Northern part of Georgia where I am from I’m sure you did get stares and I’m sorry. If it was me staring at someone it was cause the were some new and I was to shy to through up my hand 😂 but I always loved seeing new people come around. Loved to see them stay too. We have all kinds of people here now and everyone lives good by each other and I pray this place stays this way. It’s a really good place to live.
day tripper I know all about segregation. It was awful. I know all about the riots. I am not one of these millennials that are trying to bring up the past. I actually seen the riots as a child. I know the NAACP actually came to our small town to get our black citizens to march with them and our citizens told them no we all live in peace here. They wouldn’t go. Our town had a lot of civil war fighting on its grounds and the local church’s were made into hospitals. If they had grave yards North and South Soldiers were buried in them. My Church I go to was one of these churches. There are lots of ground you would think no one was buried in, but it’s full of soldiers that no one knew their names so they have no markers. I do know the price both blacks and whites paid for slavery and discrimination. My granny wouldn’t have none of it. Most of the best people I know are black. The way I was raised and I live to this day I don’t have to tell myself anything to go to sleep at night cause I was raised the right way. I didn’t segregate anything. Everyone God made and made us all the same and I am no spreading hate, but you need to check the way you are talking and the things you are saying. It’s OVER get a peaceful life and enjoy it.
Yea right. So you think all these stories are just coincidences because it was shunned in your circle. Either you were extremely sheltered, weren’t paying attention or not being truthful.
ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE ARRESTING OFFICER ,MET UP WITH ANOTHER OFFICER MEETING IN A PARKING LOT ..... TO SWAP, HMMM? ONLY TO GO THE NEXT BLOCK TO THE JAIL? I DONT KNOW THERE PROCEDURES , BUT I T HOUGHT IT WAS ODD, I SAW SOMETHING ELSE THAT WAS ON THE SCREEN , IN BIG RED LETTERS .... I COULDN'T SEE THE LIST THAT FAR ....BUT IT FRIGHTENED ME.....
Honestly, I'm not sure this was about race as much as he thinks it was. The officer is a man of the law; If we rewind, it was about a little girl and a suspect. The speaker here is wise, in his reflection regarding an apology being "a little out there." I read him as patting his weapon, as "I'm a man of serious authority here." And then he was free to go! Not long ago, around here, in a predominately white community, a younger white man had guns drawn and had to get down on his belly while riding his bike home after work, because his even younger white brother had just broke into a store. He placed his anger where it truly belonged: at his brother. I'm a unmarried woman too; don't even get me started started on, say, the medical community discrimination for that status! (I MUST be a wild child). The speaker won't forget this experience...it's all about sharing experiences. We have a new President whom just addressed sentencing disparities-- today, we CAN look on the brighter side! Keep moving forward, it's all we can do!
Natalie Lemmer a police officer is obligated to inform a suspect that they are a suspect, and what crime the officer suspects they have committed.They also have to have a plausible reason to believe that person has committed that specific crime to justify that suspect's detention or arrest. Being of x ethnicity in y area at z time is not enough to justify detention. An officer failing to live up to their legal expectations deserves to be informed of this, and they have no right to motion to their firearm because they feel like someone laughed at their pee pee and they need to feel like a big man for a moment. Addressing the men as "boy" and telling them to go back where they came from is inappropriate behaviour and I think it's interesting that you completely ignored those details.
Natalie Lemmer I tend to agree with you. The described incident is no different than several I experienced, as a young white guy. Every life experience can’t be crammed through the prism of race.
So glad these interviews are out here instead of in a vault.
Big same
and under a FBI museum *coughs* uncle ted
Dr. Anderson is lucky to have been able to live to tell this story. Young black men were killed for far less back then.
"Are they the ones?"
I'm relieved that the little girl admitted they weren't the ones to the police officer.
Especially during this time now, this is needed to be seen. History keeps repeating itself.
I know except it's white people experiencing all the racism towards them

Emmett Till was innocent of what he was accused of. It took all those years for the truth to come to light. Hell awaited those murderers.
