- Walter White grew up Black but had features that allowed him to "pass" as a white man. This helped him live with two different identities, By pretending to be white, he was able to uncover and fight against racial injustice in the United States.

We owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. White for his bravery and tenacity at uncovering the truth about the lynching of Black people and for his leadership at the NAACP..
Despite all the faults and warts we still have today, I'm glad to have been born decades after this awful stuff. Oh yeah, racism is certainly still around today unfortunately but no doubt it was far, FAR worse back then man. . .
You are soo right I hate when people say it's worst now than ever before. Blacks can atleast defend themselves now back then it was no self-defense. White people were never wrong.
U think?? These people are still doing the same…..it’s now hidden, which to me is much worse
Young person, I'm afraid we're headed back to those times. Look around you. What does the media say about Black people? What language is allowed,when referring to Black people? Who gets deleted at traffic stops. You must learn to look at EVERYTHING happening around you, and the frequency of the happenings. Keep your eyes opened. Watch closely.
Agree but we certainly still never know n hearts of ppl. I know especially when I go on vacation each to Disneyland especially to the pool area smh n I go by myself smh not bc I want to just bc it is what it is. R just going places period by myself or being around ppl r white ppl smh. U never know. 😮😢.

I went to walter white elementary. I swear i dont remember them telling us anything about Mr. White.
Wow thats a shame and a sin for a school to be named after a man they are ashamed of. Everyone at that school shouldve known who he was.
That's because they didn't. Your not tripping. You know they like to pick and choose.
They are still doing that today. Where they don't teach about the very person the school is named after. My childs school is named after a partner of Mr White and it's sitting on a street named after a civil rights leader. Even though both gentlemen have passed, they have children that can tell their story. It's needed to let this generation know that these acts aren't that far back.
Walter White did us all a righteous deed when he passed as white and observed the Klan! He alleged joined KKK meetings passing and gathering secret information. Thank you Walter White!
That’s where public libraries would come in? Sadly, even today with all types of information available to us, people still do not care to do the research, but instead blame i5 on the “man”. And this pertains to people of all colors, nit just Black people.
He was a brave man!!! #salute
Thank you Mr White for your sacrifice.
"Yet I have witnessed with my own eyes
The worst atrocities committed by those who claimed to be superior, honorable and civilized, and equally, these fine and moral, Upstanding women and men
Enjoyed nothing more than a sadist lynching
Before church, and when coming out again"
When people say light whyt passing black people aren't black I shake my head. There are many people in my family who look like him and they are products of two black parents. We come in all shades. We only got anything because we stuck together💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼
You have a close ansestor in your lineage that is white. Start asking questions. No full blooded black person looks like that. Families have secrets that are hidden. At the age of 33, I found out my great grandfather was white. He was a plantation owner down south my grandmother is 97 and never spoke about it we had to dig and find out. My aunt has blue eyes and is very light skined as to where my mother and her siblings have all black features, but their grandfather is white. I would consider myself black but would consider my grandmother biracial
Your culture is within the Black culture but your family expresses the dominant genes of wyte DNA....
True Black people can only produce black but can also include albino....
Black does Not come in different colors just black...
Different colors of black is due to the % of wyte in your blood and expression of those genes...
Hence because of the 1 drop rule anyone with black DNA is considered black...
Just like your Family
My great grandmother was biracial, she was born into slavery. Her father was Irish. Light skin and red hair is still popping up through the years.
@@youmaydisagreebut848 This is historically, the most likely cause for Black light or “white” people of African origin (& partially also true for dark skinned Pacific & South Asian people) who have lived in predominantly non white countries for several centuries. However, the monolithic “true” Black has never existed in Africa as such: The earliest humans odeveloped increased melanosomes after the body hair loss which enabled the development of a high amount melanin- so called dark skin, especially around the equator. Nonetheless, even pale skin genetic variants were still inherited in some clusters.Southern and Eastern hunter gatherers carry an which live further from the equator carry an ancient light skin variant which is also found in Eurasian prehistoric humans (Neanderthal) which the latter inherited from ancient their predecessors (Homo erectus) who had left Africa 800k years ago. The several waves of back to Africa from Asia migration around 15k- 2k years ago, introduced the SCL24A5 gene which is one of the 4 responsible to develop the white Eurasian skin (different from Albinism) has melanin but much less melanosomes. This gene is responsible for the incurrence for type OCA albinism (blue eyes) in indigenous Africans of the tropical region & the Waardenburg syndrome (yellow brown skin, often freckles light brown hair & blue eyes). The latter however comes with disabilities just like OA albinism. We know, sadly that in the history of human kind, children who were born with any kind visible disabilities were often not allowed to live. White passing plus Coloured passing also existed in South Africa from the time of Cape slavery until the end of Apartheid. In Europe, the one drop rule was completely superfluous, therefore once the African or Asian got completely lost after 2-3 generations, people were simply accepted as white. Germans-Africans (German of origin but with a maternal native African ancestral lineage)who returned from the lost colonies to Germany just kept quiet about the African great grandmother to be able to register as fully Aryan under the NS regime. I apologise for my lengthy comment. Essentially you are right but when it comes to “true” Black or “true” white - it may come across as a phenotype but genetically & historically, it’s a far more complex & divers story.
@@youmaydisagreebut848that’s actually not true lol with the albino gene added this can indeed cause several different shades of black people without mixing races
My folks still tell this story till this day. My grant granny tells it like it happened yesterday
Two minutes in and I’m thinking…this should be a movie! 👍🏿
That was a great story indeed and I thank you for sharing a part of his story. This man risked his life for social justice. A true American hero.
Thank you our elder for your relentless and tireless pursuit of justice and truth thank you! Now rest from all your labors

White british/irish here this bs was going on so very recently some of these folk that carried out these sort of atrocities would still be alive ,if not their offspring and you know that hatred got passed down .
Reparations are needed but how do you recompense for this sort of thing ? There's no monetary value that could ever make up ,no amount of apoligies will ever excuse this blind hatred .
It's nice that you remember this tragic part of history, but remember your ancestors who endured this brutal tragedy.
How can you not have anger in your heart I understand why the older generation doesn’t forget probably never forgive
our people have suffered so much on the hands of the evil race. love to my black sisters and brothers from south africa

@@darlahays2471 Go elsewhere then if you don't want to hear it!
I had people on my mother's side that could of pass for white, but they never did. I understand why; they wouldn't been true themselves; Peace and blessings to them.
My Great Grandfather could pass for white but never chose to
My maternal grandfather's entire family could have easily passed. But as long as they continued to live in Louisiana they dared not try. Because it was a dangerous game. Both Black and White families in Louisiana knew by a person's surname which White men during the system of placage maintained both White and mixed race families. Especially before the Civil War. There were so many White looking Black people in Louisiana because of centuries of intermixing that the White purists were vigilant in rooting out anyone with the slightest drop of Black blood. There were some members of my maternal grandfather's family who did leave the State of Louisiana to pass.Two of his paternal Uncles actually settled in France. It wasn't so hard since they were of 1/16 African Ancestry.My grandfather 0:03 married a much darker French speaking creole, my beautiful maternal grandmother, to remove all doubt about his racial identity. Lol unfortunately my mother didn't cooperate because she came out looking just as White as him.Her two siblings looked like light skinned Hispanics. My grandfather met both Adam Clayton Powell and Walter White in Harlem NYC in the early 1950s on one occasion. He thanked them for all that they were doing to fight for equality. As my grandfather told it both men looked him up and down. Mr Powell remarked, "Sir I would not have known you were a Negro until you opened your mouth ".My grandfather maintained that heavy Louisiana drawl well after he migrated with his wife and three children to NYC in 1940.
My great grandmother could as well. She only used it to buy things in White stores when she sometimes couldn't get it from Black stores.
That's why I never really understood the shame in being Black? Who has been oppressed to this extent and managed to still overcome ? Overcome racism discrimination and prejudice on a magnified scale and still manage to survive and not only do some of us survive - we thrive. Who can say that? We went from slaves to presidents? We descend from Africa..a country rich in natural resources..the land of God. Who else is standing with us besides God? Everything sent to steal from - kill - and destroy us - we used it to develop resilience. That's nothing but God running through our veins. Can't nobody tell me different.
I agree whole-heartedly and well said.I salute you for this well rendered thoughts and inspirational words of wisdom.
Thank you once more for the true history lesson. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks for doing what you do.

I am basically his complexion, but with nappy hair(true story‼️‼️:) on a CTA bus in the city of Chicago around 1964 my mom took me and my little brother on the bus we sit in the back(my mother is from Mississippi and she is very, very dark:) several people on the bus said‼️‼️ oh you’re watching or babysitting THE
kids today(my mother said NO‼️they’re mine😵💫👀👀👀. I also remember that vividly I was only about four years old, I also remember very vividly that none of those people said another word they just looked at us(It was winter time, and our heads were covered up with hoods from our jackets. They couldn’t see the knots.:) but they see my mom‘s beautiful face.
This reminds me of story my mother use to tell me. This was in rural AL in 40's or 50's. My mother looked white. She use to babysit these black kids that were light like she was. They always called her their big sister. She when one of them was a baby he had blue eyes and blond hair. She said the mother was outside with one of that one when mailman came by. She said the mail man told her that was a white baby. She then proceeded to cuss the mail man out.

Complexion for the protection
I appreciate these stories. So much hasn't been talked about. Not that it needs to be, but it helps for people to understand.
So inspiring. Heavenly Father please continue to give me strength I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I face challenges that can seem impossible especially with raising two children with special needs. Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children and I feel so alone. I’m constantly in fear. At times I want to give up. Jesus give me strength and renew my faith.💕
Seriously thanks for sharing this information
Can't blame ppl for wanting to pass in those days.
This is such great writing. I will be able to remember details that I've heard before but couldn't remember because it wasn't effective & just sort of slipped in one ear & out the other.
@OneMicHistory Country Boy, I really appreciate you for your depth of work and consistency! Would love to work with you one day on a series I’ve been dreaming up.
But getting into this topic of “passing” is very interesting. Walter White was certainly able to pass but chose to present black and was likely hated/feared/outcasted by each demographic. I recall WEB DuBois exclaiming he hated Walter White but he never stated why. Similarly, DuBois had a young protege who graduated valedictorian from Atlanta Univ. in 1903 by the name of Harry H. Pace, who was staunchly black in his heart but could pass easily when needed and to add further complexity, he married a Jewish woman, completing the full “passing” equation. It is my belief Harry Pace’s story was stripped from the early records due to his complexion, similar to W. White and the period has not been kind to these great men’s stories. Dubois has never once mentioned Harry Pace in any record that I could find but the man was resolutely a genius and for the culture as one could be. Let’s chop it up to discuss more, will reach you at your webpage. Excellent vid as always.
What an excellent video! I am absolutely heartbroken that this history is not taught in schools. I was raised in Texas schools where all the focus was how 'great' Davy Crockett and other whites were. 😢

Actually Walter White was Black by birth, if you accept the enslaver’s mantra, “ One drop of Black Blood means you are Black, no matter how you look”.
I had a cousin, I visited in Kansas in the 80s. She was in a long term care facility only this was a lovely one in a small town in Kansas. It had been a town mansion and was turned into a care facility. We were walking down the corridor peeping in rooms and she said, you found me, I know I look like an old “white woman” and she did, albeit an attractive one. I was with my uncle and he and I were the two in our family doing the family genealogy searches.I asked Virginia did she ever pass for white? She said many assume she is now, but she always lived in the Black community because she had no interest in passing. She said occasionally when riding the train she did. But she and many of my family who were fair, blue eyed and even blonde sometimes, said whites did not have fun and were too racist about people that looked like our family members to consider passing. My mother’s grandfather looked too white to live with his darker skinned wife in the Black community. He boarded out as a farm worker and came into town on weekends. These complications came into Black people’s lives because the same white men who called Blacks savages could not stay out of the bed with enslaved African women. Some of those men ended up with two families. A white one and another one in the Black Community. There was a white wife who was from Memphis who wrote the local newspaper in what we would call an op-Ed today, asking ( anonymously) the city fathers to tell white men the could no longer have Black mistresses or second Black families. It was an extraordinary plea and putting it in the Newspaper meant this issue was indeed a problem. We don’t know if it was widespread, but white men were being called out and warned!
Commenting for the algorithm
Walter White is a legend
People are something else racist people always here but things are getting better thank God for that
Blond & Blue. A social construct, who invented it?
My grandfather also passed for white. The difference is he made two black kids with my grandmother who was balck/indian. He did not leave his blackness behind. This man all tho great in his actions, I noticed made white kids so how true was he to black people? Great read though! I guess someone had to do it.
What do you mean? His daughter Jane is obviously black. She is light skinned, but black.

Well done. Thank you for your research and efforts. Please read Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership, and VOTE!
Hmm who’s stupid ?? 😂😂😂 how many other enslaved black people have passed. Glad to have people like him on our side
He was white. White Americans however came up with hypo descent which made him black .
You’re ignorant
Question. Why have our people suffered so much in the Past as in the Present?? Maybe someone has the answer.
Our people have suffered because of power and oppression. When they captured the Africans off the coast of Africa, the White man wanted to assert their power , whether they were British, or Dutch to bring the African slaves to the shores of the Caribbean, and North America for commodities , to be used for economic reasons, such as harvesting and cutting cotton. There have been slave trades throughout the world, because of greed from the slaveowners. There are many books in the libraries regarding this topic.
@@bonitaphinney1529 Nope better read your bible or talk with a pastor etc. thtas going to show you the truth. Its up to you. There is a valid reason for all of this.
@@uoyebut2151who wrote the Bible, who translated the written words into a understandable language, who selected the stories that were to be presented to the people, why aren't we allowed to question it the many versions that have been published, who decided the old words from the original book to correlate with modern words. There is a massive collection of documentary writings that are not allowed out to the world. Yes I question the " written word" , I question why only selected stories from ancient writings from selective scribes compare . The word put to the people were translated by mostly religious monks,Greek educated people, some written in Latin dictated by the Catholic Church in Rome. Why is it that most of these religious writings place some of humankind as lesser humans while others are almost given " godly " status. Can you answer my inquiries.?

I’ve been saying this lmao
What is wrong with you question mark why are you telling these lies question marks even mixed race offsprings were enslaved... shut up
Biracial people need to stop acting like the colorism dynamic that exist within the black community was not created by their other half. Even in slavery days light skin people were in the house & dark in the field. Don't blame black people what for their ancestors created blame them!
@@chellelechelleThis part!!! All it does is separate Black people more.
Before assuming that individuals with darker skin harbor hatred, it's important to understand their history. If we can be loving and kind to white people, why can't we extend that to Black people? Why are Black people always blamed as if they're the ones responsible for others hating mixed individuals? It’s not about others being upset with you for being mixed with certain features that they're ‘jealous’ of. It's about their perceptions versus yours. Repeating unhealthy statements like this only shows where your knowledge stands.
Seeeeee light skinned and biracial people are on black peoples side
Historically in black America that’s always been the case ! So I don’t know why people wouldn’t think other wise
Only when the mama is Black. Usually mixed are not on our side

You are incorrect, and you dont know what your talking about, because The Creator did not initiate the infirmities and diseases of man, man did all those things to himself, which also means he did not create human beings who need man made sunscreen to be under the sun.
With recorded lynching being less than 3,000 blacks during slavery and the klans most aggressive years. The black on black homicide in America averaging more than 7,000 per year is just as bad.
Oh u believe them numbers like white people ain’t killing each other at the same rate 🤣
Keyword recorded.. how many lynchings a black men women and children we're not recorded? The law was passed to legalize lynching at will. You dare to equate some BS about black on black crime as though it's relevant to the conversation. Stay on topic furthermore concern yourself with white on white crime and the statistics that back that up
No matter how bad this sounds it’s a fact. Lynching was recorded because the people doing the lynching back then were proud of the death they caused, however it wasn’t illegal so there was no reason to hide it. Go do your research and see what the slaves had to say about it back then.
Also slaves weren’t cheap to the owners. They didn’t just eliminate them when they felt like it.
