You are so right about the division! I’m a 64 year old African American and a Engineer when I was in my 20s I was working with a 50yr old white engineer who was training me and I asked him why was the politicians fighting against Heath and Education that’s something everyone needs to have a productive country and he said son the politicians don’t have the same issues we have the wealthy can go to any hospital or school anywhere in the world we’re just pawns for power!!
@@ruthanneperry1623 for me it was confusing I was young I joined the Army at 17 and did my 3yrs and used my GI bill for my education so I was really a greenhorn about politics because military teach you to respect the chain of command that’s why it didn’t make sense because a dumb and sick soldier is useless and that’s our pool of potential soldiers!!
@@nytn I feel you sis. I will fight til my last breath for us Africans following the post ww2 European model of healthcare. You can't be doomed to death just because you aren't rich. Makes my blood boiling
I only recently really same to understand it. This should precede any history on the American revolution. Especially since it highly influenced the founders to (again) rebel against the English rule.
Another reason your channel is being flagged is because speaking about race and history, offend certain people and now we have to pretend like those things never happened so a certain portion of the population doesn’t get their feelings hurt. Rather than just saying some bad things happen along time ago. We can now do things to ensure those things don’t happen in the future and move on with our day. That’s just a very base level discussion of why your channel may be being flagged.
Agree fully and the irony is that lefty people do this with good intentions but through it they actually harm the people that they intend to protect. Because this sensibel not hurting feeling approach will fire back in form of accusations for altering history.
The rich manipulating the rest of the people? Who would have thought? Seriously, this is very important work that you are doing. Keep it up and do not let anyone thwart you.
I recognize this sometime ago that words utilized in the US cause separation. I mean from the time I was a kid I remember watching television and particularly the news and if someone committed a crime they didn’t show their picture I knew they were white if they did show their picture, even if they were juvenile, they would show their hands cuffed so that we know that this person wasn’t that black, and to be honest, the more egregious crimes that were committed were in fact by white people and bear with me, this was subconsciously. I believe that white people recognize that if they commit crime and a black person commit the same crime that their sentence will probably not be as severe as a Black person. So some of us have been programmed over many years to these difference on a subconscious level
I am poor and will never blame a hard working investor or a smart trader or a legitimate business man .....for where I am ....the System of making money and the décision making elite ( not politicians) though ....are another story....those are the ennemy to Mankind even to the wealthy.
I thought nobody wanted to discuss this, I mentioned Bacons Rebellion a hundred times and just got blank stares. This is why they never want to see that kind of cooperation again ever
I love the work you do!!! I believed this for longer than I can remember but I didn’t know or have time to delve into it. Ive used “black and white” in quotes for years now. Thank you again. Be blessed in your work.
Yes, Danielle. Yes. You said, "The biggest takeaway is that the work to separate us - you and me - by color is on purpose. It was strategic, and it had a starting point." Danielle, I've been waiting for you to reveal this truth on your channel. Now we need to find a way to reveal it - the starting point - to young people everywhere.
She didn’t reveal this truth. I’ve known about Bacon rebellion and Virginia introducing the concept of race also after Bacon Rebellion the miscegenation laws. This is CRT we can’t have you black people telling your history.
It's not by color. Race isn't color. Races occur by breeding isolation from other races. Respect that diversity. Humanity is historically and generally composed of regionally distinctive, historicaly indigenous lineages/populations.
Racism was also used to prevent the formation of labor unions. Today, race and racism are such huge parts of American culture, and so many Americans' sense of self, that wealthy entities don't even really need to do anything to divide us according to race and ethnicity. We willingly divide ourselves. Yes, we can see the "race realists" who post on this channel, desperately trying to maintain and promote their racism with scientifically invalid "race science." But they're far from the only ones who desperately want to promote and/or maintain their conceptions of race (and possibly racism).
@@bonsummers2657Okay but despite those facts, culturally & socially it is by color. One race can come in more than one color but there is still separation due to the color alone.
Nope. Racial, not color. And of course there are 'multi-racial' types. The basics: Afro(various types), Euro/Caucasoid/Aryan(various types), East Asian / Mongoloid (various types), Australoid. It's not a matter of color. Another, and you know it, is the matter of culture, society,…. how things are and how things operate in the different racial-type-dominant societies.@@Ethereal-Flower
Ahhhhhhh … my father is from Norfolk Virginia and my mother’s from New Orleans, they met during the Great War II. In my youth I had to split time between the two cities but most of my schooling was done in the commonwealth of Virginia and includes an hbcu Norfolk state university. I LOVE READING AND STUDYING BACON’S REBELLION. It’s truly an integral part of North American history and so complex. I salute you for tackling this topic. I see you …
I’m from Portsmouth, VA and I also appreciate Your journey❣️. I was just wondering if you have a follow up video planned that will include the laws that were inspired by the European women that married nonEuropean men. And in effect upset the European men of wealth and power that later created laws to enslave the European women and her African or Native American descendants. Some things NEVER change…
Mardi Gras Indians!!! From my mother’s youth with her siblings in New Orleans 20’s 30s Mardi Gras Indians were feared. I think I saw in a documentary there was a be heading of a big chief back then. It seemed like they were a disguise for gang beef. Years later it becomes who looks the prettiest. Maybe a history of the enguns if you haven’t done one already. I know there’s a cultural history about runaway slaves and the indigenous peoples.
It's shocking how most people don't know about this and Bacon's Rebellion. But then again, we're not supposed to know so we remain divided only by color.
There is no color. The United States and the United States of America was founded, ordained and established by Moorish People and Christians. Out of the 55 delegates 35 were of Moorish descent and the 20 observers of Anglo-Saxon/colonial settler descent. Both white and black are outlaws. Whites asserted power for themselves from 1854-1878 during reconstruction and birthed a new nation where "blacks" would be 2nd class citizens. “I have said, in substance, that the Dred Scott decision was, in part; based on assumed historical facts which were not really true; and I ought not to leave the subject without giving some reasons for saying this; I therefore give as instance or two, which I think fully sustain me. Chief Justice Taney, in delivering the majority opinion of the Court, insists at great length that negroes were no part of the people who made, and for whom was made, the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution of the United States. “On the contrary, Judge Curtis, in his dissenting opinion, shows that in five of the thirteen states, to wit, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina, Free Moors were voters, and, in proportion to their numbers, had the same part in making the Constitution that the white people had. He shows this with so much particularity as to leave no doubt of its truth; and, as a sort of conclusion on that point, holds the following language.” Abe Lincoln ‘The Constitution was ordained and established by the people of the United States, through the action of each State, of those persons who were qualified by its laws to act thereon in behalf of themselves and all other citizens of the State. In some of the States, we have seen, Moorish Persons were among those qualified by law to act on the subject. These Moorish Persons were not only included in the body of “the people of the United States’ by whom the Constitution was ordained and established, but in at least five of the States they had the power to act, and, doubtless, did act, by their suffrages, upon the question of its adoption.'” Justice Curtis (Abraham Lincoln’s Philosophy of Common Sense by Edward John Kempf)
You know, we live on one planet. There’s billions of planets out there rotating around billions of stars. My point is , that there’s a lot of life out there. We’re all human beings. I wish we’d all realize that. Everything would be different. I’ve always said that racism is a distraction. Danielle your historical approach blows all the doors open! I love it.
Respect diversity and separation. It's not by color. Race isn't color. Races occur by breeding isolation from other races. Respect that diversity. Humanity is historically and generally composed of regionally distinctive, historicaly indigenous, lineages/populations.

@@bonsummers2657In a way it is by a “so called color.” One group (although more brown than anything) was assigned “black” (a pejorative adjective), the other (being more beige than anything) “white” (a color highly affirming of human value). Colors brown and beige, although closer to reality, lack the power structure. At the same time, everyone is a prefixed American with the exception of one group.

@@bonsummers2657- That's not how racial categories have been determined or applied. People of Irish, Italian, Greek etc. descent were excluded from "whiteness" for centuries, to facilitate exploitation of them and other people. And there aren't separate and distinct races of our species, from a genetic perspective. There hasn't been enough genetic isolation to produce separate and distinct races of our species, from a genetic perspective.
@judyredmond4379, Just stop. The indigenous people of the Americas are not from the same gene pool as the people mentioned in this video as being legally classified as black in the US (who were members of the African Diaspora). Revisionist history isn’t helping anyone. “Black Irish” refers to a dark haired and dark eyed phenotype of an ethnically Celtic Irish person. They are from the same Celtic gene pool as the rest of Ireland. This has been clearly proven many times, by Population geneticist, Dan Bradley of Trinity College Dublin just to name one credible peer reviewed study. The name of the Blackfoot Confederacy doesn’t have origin in skin color. It’s taken as an English translation of the name of one of three tribes, the Siksiká (“Darkened Feet”, of if taken literally “Black Feet”). There was also the Kainai ("Many Chiefs"), and northern and southern bands of the Piikani ("Splotchy Robe"). These were terms they used to differentiate between themselves as very closely related and allied people. They were Algonquian language speakers that likely had their homeland northeast of the Great Lakes before migrating to the northern Great Plains. All of this information is freely available on the web and easy to find. There’s no excuse for repeating myths and revisionist history.
Thank you this was very interesting to learn about. This should be taught in every American school no matter the complexities. In fact as an onlooker from Norway to what’s going on now in the US the complexities of this very real history is what is actually needed to be taught. I know we all have prejudices, but some of mine has been confirmed a lot recently and that is Americans are not taught their history honestly, and little to nothing about the rest of the world in school. Another one is that there seems to be a prevalence of oversimplification and black/white thinking (I’m not refereing to skincolour here). I believe the US suffers from this hero/villain complex and from being taught their own mythology as truth in multiple ways. The best country on earth, you are with us or against us etc. This narrative also obscures the horrors that has taken place and unlike post WWII Germany the country has never dealt with neither the genocide of the native population nor slavery, Jim Crow and more. So it keeps perpetuating the structures and divides.
the rich may have made racism the law but it would have been nothing if normal people didn't like it, accept it and help it. it's not the rich dividing people, it's rich people telling normal people to divide themselves for superiority over brown people instead.
Brown nosing exists as well as other human evils. The Ottoman Empire unalived a bunch of Greeks and other nations have committed other atrocities. It is still going on as China has a speedy process for transplants.
The laws were designed only for the benefit of the elites. “Divide and conquer”! The cynical part of it, is it was designed to make Whites feel superior, while not providing them with any true advantage or benefit. Later when poor Whites attempted to form unions, management could always undermine their organizational power, by threatening to hire Blacks at lower wages, forcing the poor Whites to themselves accept lower wages. Of course, that would increase the hatred many poor Whites felt towards Blacks. They did not recognize that attacking people with less power than themselves, never accomplishes anything by way of advancing. We still see this today!
The general population excepts the division and believes in it whole heartedly. If they didn't then black people still wouldn't be an underclass in America. There are some of them that feel pained about what happened in the past but will do nothing to address the effects and the things that are still going on today. Actually making things balance would result in a loss of power for them...that is not something they will give up.
Thank you so much for enlightening me. As I get older I'm starting to appreciate our American history no matter how dark it can be. Keep shining a light and I will keep watching and listening.
Ms. Romero, As someone who studied history in undergrad and continued those studies post undergrad, I commend you on your accounting of Bacon's Rebellion. This is spot-on analysis. Please keep doing what you are doing, and educate the masses. I am a new subscriber to your channel, and will be checking out your other posts, as well.
Even though it's vehemently denied on a daily basis , this is what is going on in our political forums now. They see a certain sector of society pulling themselves up by the proverbial boot straps, and it has them shaking in "their" boots. They see the power that they've held onto for centuries waning quickly.
This is a supremely important video. Thanks for covering it. I am 62 years old. I don’t recall Bacons rebellion being discussed in school. It doesn’t mean that at some point the topic wasn’t covered. I just don’t remember. My husband is four years older than I am. He remembers covering Bacon’s Rebellion in high school and would periodically bring it up when we talk about these issues. People can’t seem to get out of this negative feedback loop.
The people with the small advantages don’t want to. If everytime a blk and a YT person showed up to an interview, applied for a loan, or wanted to enter into a certain college, if the black candidate was equal or vastly superior to the YT candidate, which one would get the opportunity? The powers that be want us to continue to think we are less than and only good for sports and entertainment. They don’t really want us to achieve and progress, bc they don’t really want to compete. And they know progress brings economic and political power.
Mary Ellen Pleasant is completely ignored in history books even though she was an influence on civil rights and helping escaped slaves have a better life once they have escaped into freedom.
Thank you for being willing to bring this part of history to a larger audience. I’m sure it will lead to more criticism and attacks. I hope more of your audience will join you on Patreon to keep your channel thriving.
I wasnt really allowed to teach when I was teacher, and I dont really expect to be able to make videos on youtube, but I'll keep trying. The patreon folks and members have made the biggest difference!
There were more types like this uprising, but this rebellion, is best documented one i can even think of, that stands out in original colonies being the best known, and your information is gold here! A good reference between serfs and indentured, trying to change things for the common man, working to get something in a new land, from the landlords and the rich who had the power. Actually, nothing has really changed. Everything is about control of the resources and the people, and even genocide, as look what happened to the native indigenous people that resided here. To divide and conquer has always been the plan and it still works based on a variety of color, beliefs, ethnicity, religion and of course power base and monetary resources, and disarming those of a certain "status" to bear the same resources [arms] that were used to subjugate certain masses from fighting back. This was the original "Arms Control" applied but to Blacks in the colonies, and later...America. So much for the "NRA" and their history! The really bad thing, is that that the American constitution could have remedy all of the injustices, but did do but continue the very same system the British crown had implemented in the colonies, but not on their home soil. To England, the "colonists" were the "Trash Of Europe" , and were glad to be rid of them and to exploit for more riches for the crown. Good video, please make more like this. Peace
Thank you for the history lesson. I believe the history textbooks I read in school touched on this but I needed more naturist to understand it. I also wanted to say I like your ‘Dawless’ music setup in the background 😊
I’m presently living in Virginia. I take every opportunity to ask people living here what they know about Bacon’s Rebellion. Three months in, not a single person, Black or White, had even heard of it. How could any education system, not bent on perpetuating the racial status quo, leave this event out of the curriculum? You are absolutely right, it is all about the battle between labor and capital. Capitalism is inherently divisive and exploitative!
I'm Mike Gebrial. I'm African Australian originally from Ethiopia. I live in Melbourne. Bianca Censori is from my hometown lol. You're so interesting. I love what you do. It's not easy to speak about these topics especially when people have been programmed their whole life to think and act a certain way.

But I subscribed to your channel and watch your videos. We're still connected in a way lol. Peace and love en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel
You get a sub , just for bringing this up. Your channel is not only informative , it is cathartic and much needed. Peace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ be upon you and your house.
Nat Bacon was an inspiration for a number of later slave rebellions- Nat Turner, Gabriel Prosser, and even John Brown. Brown was called another nat Bacon. Also the codifying of race in chattel slavery stood in stark contrast to the encomienda style slavery of the Spaniards, and even other slaveries, such as that committed by Barbary pirates, at this time. Just yester I saw an interesting video on how Icelanders brought to Algeria were able to get back yo Iceland by buying their freedom- or bribing from it. This is why chattel slavery was the worst of the worst forms of slavery.
I have someone to bring on who studied JUST John Brown. I don’t know enough about that history to cover it on my own but you are right. It’s all tied together
I appreciate what you are doing, so I'm gonna help you out a little more. This subject lives in murky waters. Many believe slavery started in 1619, well before Bacon's rebellion. Turns out, that is not far enough. Further digging into the annuals of this country's history reveal that the Spanish brought enslaved Africans to present-day St. Augustine, Fla., the first European settlement in what’s now the continental U.S. In 1526, a Spanish expedition to present-day South Carolina was thwarted when the enslaved Africans aboard resisted. Now, this may not have been class warfare, but no white Africans were brought over on those ships. There are many more historical references out here, so please keep up the good work of pulling back layers as it is truth that will make us free!
Touch’e Danielle Romero! You’ve nailed this report. And you’ve offered generations a refreshed perspective on how to view our society based on history. Thank you!
I love this channel..one always comes away with some good information from the past that is critically pertinent to today. I'm a critical student of history and really good information is certainly getting dropped here.
You did a great job explaining why the US is so racially obsessed like it is. It’s by design and the people in charge benefit from it and want it to stay like this.
The stupid thing is that there are white creators who make similar content. Atun-Shei has never had a problem with his channel being flagged, Townsends has never had an issue with their channel: both channels have talked about colonial race relations and how things changed over time, although I don't think either addressed Bacon's Rebellion specifically. I think the goal of flagging channels like Ms. Romero's is not actually to suppress information, but to limit social mobility for non-white people. TH-cam content creation is the easiest way to increase your social status (even if not your income), particularly since it is now becoming very possible to break into showbiz through success in content creation. Show business is one of those things which "raises persons of obscure birth into undue distinction" in the words of Sir Walter Elliot, baronet of saying the quiet part out loud (aka, the heroine's father in Persuasion by Jane Austen). Movie stars have often married nobility and royalty, Meghan Markle only being the most recent example. I think her case terrifed some people, because of course all the other examples had been white women marrying European nobles or Asians marrying Asian nobility. How dare someone use fame to marry interracially right? 🙄. At least, if the goal is suppressing information then the effort is failing since white radicals actually do very well on this platform. But flagging non-white creators does limit their ability to gain fame through the platform. Though with algorithms it is admittedly difficult to tell whether they are functioning as intended, or if they are just bad at fulfilling their intended purpose.
I first learned about this when I visited the National Museum of African American History. Never had a clue that blacks were anything other than 2nd class citizens in the beginning of this country and segregation came later.
Danielle, I just found out recently through Geni that Captain William Carver "of Norfolk" is my 9th Great Grandfather. He was hanged in 1715 after Bacon's Rebellion
Hi Danielle! 2 thumbs up for the courage to open this discussion. 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼 There is no accuracy without nuance. Not sure of which people are more afraid. 🤔🙄 I think at a certain point, the folks who have been conditioned to believe a certain way to maintain their status and security will just check out and glaze over if it means being uncomfortable or giving up something. 😢 The group who lost the most and most often audaciously ignored, not to mention all but eliminated, were the Native Americans. 😢 Money and power, it's always about money and power.
The Jamestown settlement began with mixing of races between the English and the Native American population. A quarter of the surviving settlers married into the local native population. This entitled them to trade and land grants from the Native Americans. Consequently, in a generation or two, a new class of mixed planters was established but grandfathered as descendants of ancient planters. This allowed them the privilege extended to the lily white, wealthy newcomers who did not suffer the starvation and deprivation of the early settlers. Two of my ancestors, John Dodd and William Lawson fell into the mixed category. By the 3rd and 4th generations, their descendants quickly began leaving coastal VA and headed to the western frontier of VA where they were readily accepted by the new settlers who enjoyed the freedom of the frontier
Danielle, thank you for your hard work. A while back I commented on your " white privilege" discussion, which I was delighted to find that you addressed my comment with a response. As an American of mixed ancestry, I proclaim to be African American. Today, I applaud your courage and willingness to learn; unfortunately, our "great country" does not believe that honest and transparent history can be a unifying and healing tool. Lastly, I hope that your work provokes others to learn and speak about our history since many in our society tend to close their minds when these facts are presented by those of African American descent.
Thank you for this topic, lesson! Actually, I dont think I knew about this. Im 44. I will say I didnt always retain everything from high school, BUT, this is a pretty major thing! Im glad but also sad to know it exits. Let us learn and DO better with the knowledge we have! Knowledge is power! And listening, trying to understand others and love it so important! Danielle, I LOVE yout channel and work! Thank You
Based on a comment you made in a previous video about the lack of history on Italians, I began searching through my books for this information. I didn't find much but here are a few books that might interest you. -"White Like Her, My Family's Story on Race and Racial Passing" You might find this book close to home. Some of the photos in this book are similar to photos you have posted. They are also from Louisiana. -This book is one of a series, Ethnic Groups in American Life - "Italian Americans, Into the Twilight of Ethnicity." (not in my collection) -"Strangers in the Land, Patterns of American Nativism, 1860-1925 I also have a book titled "The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America" This book mentions every single immigrant from around the world EXCEPT ITALIANS. Why? As an African American I have made it my business to obtain any book I come across that has anything to do with our history. I will keep on looking for you. Hope you don't mind.
I really appreciate you covering this matter. It is imperative that we all prioritize and thoroughly comprehend the origin of Race. Then we'll have the knowledge to solve the symptoms (Racism, Redlining, Oppression, etc.)🤔...Authors, Jacqueline Battalora and Theodore W. Allen go in-depth regarding the invention of Race. Keep up the good work!!
I’m from Virginia and doing my geneology I realized that one of my family members was apart of bacon’s rebellion and it’s so crazy because I’m so called black but I know I am indigenous because I did my geneology. Because of the rebellion the it was in the writings that they put a rope or nuse around my family member neck and took a lot of his land. I was like wow this is so crazy. I had never heard about bacon’s rebellion also I have Italian mix in me too.
7:21 that is your personal interpretation on their thinking. I argue that in european class systems, nobody is seen as worthless just ideal for a specific matter or only good for a specific matter. There was of course a certain dynamic and families and individuals could rise and fall through all ranks and classes.
'The Invention of the White Race - The Origin of Racial Oppression' by Theodore W Allen (Verso Book Publishers.) There were videos here on TH-cam about 6 to 8 years back regarding this specific historical development, based on the said book, and about said author and his work; that's how I first learned about Bacon's Rebellion and the Ruling Class response to it - this video is the first I've seen referring to it in many, many years. . . and it's good to see!
Good video. It all started with the strategy used by the rich elite during 1676 to defeat the coalition formed during Bacon's Rebellion. With truth, comes healing.
From what I learned by studying Western and American settler history, it is based on a colonial system that favors Eurocentric, or White American or other White majority concerns of any European Colonial Territory - which is why Whites ended up being the majority and most beneficial over Natives, Blacks and others. HOWEVER... This is not to ignore the regional or local instances of people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, races and classes to work together against the system or corporation, rather locally or nationally, this has actually happened a lot - at times regional Tribes and one of the colonial powers or local Whites have aligned with each other and rose up against the oppressor colonial power or Federal Government, and some Natives and Blacks have historically aligned against their colonial oppressor, and some Whites and Black People have united for common goals. Also in the work field, there as been plenty of cases of everyone uniting for universal worker rights since the founding of America. What we can't ignore the fact that all Minorities, especially Natives and Blacks, have gotten the short end of the stick in many cases. There has been some civil-rights policies that have helped combat and invest into Minority communities, it has helped somewhat, but not good enough. This is not to ignore that certain European or modern ethnic white groups have experienced some form of systemic oppression or discrimination too, but the system has adjusted itself to accommodate much of this issue. The poor white families and communities who exist today, has been affected more recently by classism. Over the last few decades, the federal and corporate policies shifted from a more race based to a class based system, it became a elitist vacuum up economics system that created huge income disparities. So we are left with the historical remnants of colonial Eurocentrism and now classism from the past few decades, so we need both Minority civil-rights laws that targets each group for protections and investments, and also universal programs that invests and protects the working class from all backgrounds. All this is why I'm a democratic socialist, at least economically.
I agree, someone is getting the short end of the stick and everyone else is trying desperately to make sure it’s not them or their kids. I really don’t know the solution to this. As far as politics, I don’t think we are too far apart. I guess if I had to choose I’d say a libertarian but then we would disagree on how much power the state should hold. I’m against a large state because I feel like it is always corrupt. But if it wasn’t corrupt, I’d be on board with you.
@@nytn I called myself a libertarian in late 70s, 80s, having found the "Aloha Caucus" in Iowa. The sex and drugs wing of the party, one said. I said for years that I went right, around to the back. You ever hear "a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged"? By the end of the 90's I was feeling mugged by the economy, and felt I was coming "around the back" of ideologies, and out to the left. Jim Hightower's Rabble Rouser event in KCMO, 2017, convinced me that Libertarianism is a facade for robber barons: surprise, another con. From feeling libertarian practices could lead to that rising tide that lifts all boats, I became squeamish because leaving investors to their own devices does _not_ lead to successful individuals setting great examples for everyone, but to dire and urgent need for environmental protection regulation! The Green Party alienated me by making anti - capitalism a plank in their platform, but by now I do feel utilities and hospitals should be cooperatively owned, and that subsidized education would produce better taxpayers and customers!
@@nytn I think most Americans are becoming aware of historic race relations, and made significant improvements of looking at everyone as individuals first, or working on inclusion, justice and tolerance. Work is needed with the American populace, but I think it's the policies, it still has racism and classism in it. Minority communities are still redlined by banks to a certain extent, and are left out of American dream. We need investments in education, healthcare and infrastructure which will help all Americans, who are lagging behind all developed counties in these categories. And the America economic system is a corporatist classist system controlled by elitist who buy off politicians to do their bidding. To fix this, I think money out of politics and reinstating The Glass Steagall Act is a start, than breaking up the two party system by voting Independent or 3rd Party - This is maybe the only way to get Congress to focus on the American People. The Reservation System need to be overhauled to economically liberate Native communities, to do that, the Treaties need to be reformed to give Tribes autonomy over their own lands, resources, economy and laws much like a State has. The Inner cities need infrastructure, education, and investments and so on. Everyone can use police reform, the police serve the corporations and protect property over average People, especially Blacks, Latinos and Natives. I think ending the drug war, and legalizing drugs will put a damper on gang activity, and investing in universal healthcare will help everyone. All this requires trillions of dollars, so to generate and free up the needed funding, would require ending funding for wars, foreign interventions, corporate bailouts, corporate subsidies and slashing the budget of the Military Industrial Complex, Police State and Corporate welfare. All this of course requires a political revolution that involves mass protests, road blockades, civil disobedience and millions unifying for class, work and civil-rights. This is only way to bring the politicians and CEOs to their knees, this strategy has worked in Bolivia and other countries.
@@nytn I figured you leaned socially Libertarian and perhaps moderate to right leaning on economics but Liberal on ethnic, race and class relations. Socially I'm center-left to center-right, and economically I'm Progressive to Democratic Socialist. I'm far Left on economic, human rights and civil-rights. I think using progressive and democratic socialist policies to fix the system, the economy to liberate everyone, than we can strive toward a Libertarian Society. I'm not anti-American or anti White or anti anyone else, I'm anti colonial, anti-imperialist and anti-corporatist who despises the elitists, police state and military of the USA. So going back to "they divide us", yes, it's the elitist from the central banks, big corporations and large political organizations who do that. Both Party leaders are paid to do the divide and conquer on Americans.
But you are doing a service to people talking about ethnic, race and class issues in America, and giving a history less on societal and policy views on these topics. I think more Americans are striving to find their ethnic origins or finding their ancient or modern day identity. I think more people will develop a understanding of each other. Excellent work you do in that respect.
As 1/2 of an "interracial marriage"; my wife and I are different shades of melanin, we were raised with different languages and cultures, even from different continents, I find myself thinking about issues along division based on race constantly. In many ways I am very tired of it all. I have many thoughts but I will just share one. I wish that our government would fix the immigration system so that we could refer to anyone that comes as a legitimate immigrant. I don't want the terms illegal or legal to be used. We as a populace are conditioned by many parts of the media to see certain groups of people as "illegal immigrants". This creates a great division that is frequently labeled as racism. Yet it frequently is resentment, not racism, expressed by those who consider specific groups of people be "illegal immigrants". This creates a great division in our country which could be fixed by a straightforward immigration system where people must go through a process to immigrate. I wish our government would fix the immigration system.
You are exposing the truth and laying it bare for us to see. They say if man does not know the past (history) it is destined to rule the present and the future unchallenged.
This also wasn't without a lot of violence. At various points, other interracial rebellions also took place and the establishment took more measures to separate lower class White people from Black people. John Brown, the Saint Patrick Battalion, the Coal Miner's Strikes in West Virginia, etc. the War on Drugs, redlining, the GI Bill, the 13th Amendment loophole, all of these things were measures intended to allow economic and social mobility to lower class Whites while withholding it from Blacks.
This also happened to the Irish. The British looked down the the irish and when the Irish came to America the same stereotypes were still used for the Irish.
Bacon had a fort in my hometown of Gloucester Virginia, he was attempting to run the Pamunkey out of the peninsula. I’ve actually found several relics from his time there
Thank you-I had learned a little about this type of law in South and Central America and Mexico, but I didn’t know when the Black Code had been introduced in North America and the change from indenture to slavery based on skin color😢

All overlooked history is done so on purpose.
Exactly what you said one paragraph but all the important stuff is handled like that

Another reason your channel is being flagged is because speaking about race and history, offend certain people and now we have to pretend like those things never happened so a certain portion of the population doesn’t get their feelings hurt. Rather than just saying some bad things happen along time ago. We can now do things to ensure those things don’t happen in the future and move on with our day. That’s just a very base level discussion of why your channel may be being flagged.
White supremacists are extremely sensitive.

I recognize this sometime ago that words utilized in the US cause separation. I mean from the time I was a kid I remember watching television and particularly the news and if someone committed a crime they didn’t show their picture I knew they were white if they did show their picture, even if they were juvenile, they would show their hands cuffed so that we know that this person wasn’t that black, and to be honest, the more egregious crimes that were committed were in fact by white people and bear with me, this was subconsciously. I believe that white people recognize that if they commit crime and a black person commit the same crime that their sentence will probably not be as severe as a Black person. So some of us have been programmed over many years to these difference on a subconscious level

Yes, Danielle. Yes. You said, "The biggest takeaway is that the work to separate us - you and me - by color is on purpose. It was strategic, and it had a starting point." Danielle, I've been waiting for you to reveal this truth on your channel. Now we need to find a way to reveal it - the starting point - to young people everywhere.
She didn’t reveal this truth. I’ve known about Bacon rebellion and Virginia introducing the concept of race also after Bacon Rebellion the miscegenation laws. This is CRT we can’t have you black people telling your history.
It's not by color. Race isn't color. Races occur by breeding isolation from other races. Respect that diversity. Humanity is historically and generally composed of regionally distinctive, historicaly indigenous lineages/populations.
Racism was also used to prevent the formation of labor unions. Today, race and racism are such huge parts of American culture, and so many Americans' sense of self, that wealthy entities don't even really need to do anything to divide us according to race and ethnicity. We willingly divide ourselves.
Yes, we can see the "race realists" who post on this channel, desperately trying to maintain and promote their racism with scientifically invalid "race science." But they're far from the only ones who desperately want to promote and/or maintain their conceptions of race (and possibly racism).
@@bonsummers2657Okay but despite those facts, culturally & socially it is by color. One race can come in more than one color but there is still separation due to the color alone.
Nope. Racial, not color. And of course there are 'multi-racial' types. The basics: Afro(various types), Euro/Caucasoid/Aryan(various types), East Asian / Mongoloid (various types), Australoid. It's not a matter of color.
Another, and you know it, is the matter of culture, society,…. how things are and how things operate in the different racial-type-dominant societies.@@Ethereal-Flower
Ahhhhhhh … my father is from Norfolk Virginia and my mother’s from New Orleans, they met during the Great War II. In my youth I had to split time between the two cities but most of my schooling was done in the commonwealth of Virginia and includes an hbcu Norfolk state university. I LOVE READING AND STUDYING BACON’S REBELLION. It’s truly an integral part of North American history and so complex. I salute you for tackling this topic. I see you …
I appreciate it. I know I left out a lot. What would be a good follow up study on it in your opinion?
I’m from Portsmouth, VA and I also appreciate Your journey❣️. I was just wondering if you have a follow up video planned that will include the laws that were inspired by the European women that married nonEuropean men. And in effect upset the European men of wealth and power that later created laws to enslave the European women and her African or Native American descendants.
Some things NEVER change…

Im going to write that down @greatestshopper1077!
Mardi Gras Indians!!! From my mother’s youth with her siblings in New Orleans 20’s 30s Mardi Gras Indians were feared. I think I saw in a documentary there was a be heading of a big chief back then. It seemed like they were a disguise for gang beef. Years later it becomes who looks the prettiest. Maybe a history of the enguns if you haven’t done one already. I know there’s a cultural history about runaway slaves and the indigenous peoples.
It's shocking how most people don't know about this and Bacon's Rebellion. But then again, we're not supposed to know so we remain divided only by color.
There is no color. The United States and the United States of America was founded, ordained and established by Moorish People and Christians. Out of the 55 delegates 35 were of Moorish descent and the 20 observers of Anglo-Saxon/colonial settler descent.
Both white and black are outlaws.
Whites asserted power for themselves from 1854-1878 during reconstruction and birthed a new nation where "blacks" would be 2nd class citizens.
“I have said, in substance, that the Dred Scott decision was, in part; based on assumed historical facts which were not really true; and I ought not to leave the subject without giving some reasons for saying this; I therefore give as instance or two, which I think fully sustain me. Chief Justice Taney, in delivering the majority opinion of the Court, insists at great length that negroes were no part of the people who made, and for whom was made, the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution of the United States.
“On the contrary, Judge Curtis, in his dissenting opinion, shows that in five of the thirteen states, to wit, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina, Free Moors were voters, and, in proportion to their numbers, had the same part in making the Constitution that the white people had. He shows this with so much particularity as to leave no doubt of its truth; and, as a sort of conclusion on that point, holds the following language.” Abe Lincoln
‘The Constitution was ordained and established by the people of the United States, through the action of each State, of those persons who were qualified by its laws to act thereon in behalf of themselves and all other citizens of the State. In some of the States, we have seen, Moorish Persons were among those qualified by law to act on the subject. These Moorish Persons were not only included in the body of “the people of the United States’ by whom the Constitution was ordained and established, but in at least five of the States they had the power to act, and, doubtless, did act, by their suffrages, upon the question of its adoption.'” Justice Curtis

@judyredmond4379, Just stop. The indigenous people of the Americas are not from the same gene pool as the people mentioned in this video as being legally classified as black in the US (who were members of the African Diaspora). Revisionist history isn’t helping anyone.
“Black Irish” refers to a dark haired and dark eyed phenotype of an ethnically Celtic Irish person. They are from the same Celtic gene pool as the rest of Ireland. This has been clearly proven many times, by Population geneticist, Dan Bradley of Trinity College Dublin just to name one credible peer reviewed study.
The name of the Blackfoot Confederacy doesn’t have origin in skin color. It’s taken as an English translation of the name of one of three tribes, the Siksiká (“Darkened Feet”, of if taken literally “Black Feet”). There was also the Kainai ("Many Chiefs"), and northern and southern bands of the Piikani ("Splotchy Robe"). These were terms they used to differentiate between themselves as very closely related and allied people. They were Algonquian language speakers that likely had their homeland northeast of the Great Lakes before migrating to the northern Great Plains.
All of this information is freely available on the web and easy to find. There’s no excuse for repeating myths and revisionist history.
Thank you this was very interesting to learn about. This should be taught in every American school no matter the complexities. In fact as an onlooker from Norway to what’s going on now in the US the complexities of this very real history is what is actually needed to be taught. I know we all have prejudices, but some of mine has been confirmed a lot recently and that is Americans are not taught their history honestly, and little to nothing about the rest of the world in school. Another one is that there seems to be a prevalence of oversimplification and black/white thinking (I’m not refereing to skincolour here). I believe the US suffers from this hero/villain complex and from being taught their own mythology as truth in multiple ways. The best country on earth, you are with us or against us etc. This narrative also obscures the horrors that has taken place and unlike post WWII Germany the country has never dealt with neither the genocide of the native population nor slavery, Jim Crow and more. So it keeps perpetuating the structures and divides.
I've been waiting so long for you to talk about this! 😊 Thank you for your hard work!!!
Please don't stop your work, For any reason. You are one the voices that needs to be heard
the rich may have made racism the law but it would have been nothing if normal people didn't like it, accept it and help it. it's not the rich dividing people, it's rich people telling normal people to divide themselves for superiority over brown people instead.
Brown nosing exists as well as other human evils. The Ottoman Empire unalived a bunch of Greeks and other nations have committed other atrocities. It is still going on as China has a speedy process for transplants.
@@kerwinbrown4180 living things are bad, that's why all this is happening
@@andrebighach I agree
The laws were designed only for the benefit of the elites. “Divide and conquer”! The cynical part of it, is it was designed to make Whites feel superior, while not providing them with any true advantage or benefit. Later when poor Whites attempted to form unions, management could always undermine their organizational power, by threatening to hire Blacks at lower wages, forcing the poor Whites to themselves accept lower wages. Of course, that would increase the hatred many poor Whites felt towards Blacks. They did not recognize that attacking people with less power than themselves, never accomplishes anything by way of advancing. We still see this today!
The general population excepts the division and believes in it whole heartedly. If they didn't then black people still wouldn't be an underclass in America. There are some of them that feel pained about what happened in the past but will do nothing to address the effects and the things that are still going on today. Actually making things balance would result in a loss of power for them...that is not something they will give up.
Thank you so much for enlightening me. As I get older I'm starting to appreciate our American history no matter how dark it can be. Keep shining a light and I will keep watching and listening.
Ms. Romero,
As someone who studied history in undergrad and continued those studies post undergrad, I commend you on your accounting of Bacon's Rebellion. This is spot-on analysis.
Please keep doing what you are doing, and educate the masses. I am a new subscriber to your channel, and will be checking out your other posts, as well.
Thank you! I love learning , which means I make a lot of mistakes, too. Thanks for being here ☺️
Even though it's vehemently denied on a daily basis , this is what is going on in our political forums now. They see a certain sector of society pulling themselves up by the proverbial boot straps, and it has them shaking in "their" boots. They see the power that they've held onto for centuries waning quickly.

This is a supremely important video. Thanks for covering it. I am 62 years old. I don’t recall Bacons rebellion being discussed in school. It doesn’t mean that at some point the topic wasn’t covered. I just don’t remember. My husband is four years older than I am. He remembers covering Bacon’s Rebellion in high school and would periodically bring it up when we talk about these issues. People can’t seem to get out of this negative feedback loop.
The people with the small advantages don’t want to. If everytime a blk and a YT person showed up to an interview, applied for a loan, or wanted to enter into a certain college, if the black candidate was equal or vastly superior to the YT candidate, which one would get the opportunity? The powers that be want us to continue to think we are less than and only good for sports and entertainment. They don’t really want us to achieve and progress, bc they don’t really want to compete. And they know progress brings economic and political power.

Great video. It's important to learn history.
There were more types like this uprising, but this rebellion, is best documented one i can even think of, that stands out in original colonies being the best known, and your information is gold here! A good reference between serfs and indentured, trying to change things for the common man, working to get something in a new land, from the landlords and the rich who had the power. Actually, nothing has really changed. Everything is about control of the resources and the people, and even genocide, as look what happened to the native indigenous people that resided here. To divide and conquer has always been the plan and it still works based on a variety of color, beliefs, ethnicity, religion and of course power base and monetary resources, and disarming those of a certain "status" to bear the same resources [arms] that were used to subjugate certain masses from fighting back. This was the original "Arms Control" applied but to Blacks in the colonies, and later...America. So much for the "NRA" and their history!
The really bad thing, is that that the American constitution could have remedy all of the injustices, but did do but continue the very same system the British crown had implemented in the colonies, but not on their home soil. To England, the "colonists" were the "Trash Of Europe" , and were glad to be rid of them and to exploit for more riches for the crown. Good video, please make more like this. Peace

I like to say finished is better than perfect when doing creative work
Yes! 😅 yours is much better
Nat Bacon was an inspiration for a number of later slave rebellions- Nat Turner, Gabriel Prosser, and even John Brown. Brown was called another nat Bacon.
Also the codifying of race in chattel slavery stood in stark contrast to the encomienda style slavery of the Spaniards, and even other slaveries, such as that committed by Barbary pirates, at this time. Just yester I saw an interesting video on how Icelanders brought to Algeria were able to get back yo Iceland by buying their freedom- or bribing from it. This is why chattel slavery was the worst of the worst forms of slavery.
I have someone to bring on who studied JUST John Brown. I don’t know enough about that history to cover it on my own but you are right. It’s all tied together
I appreciate what you are doing, so I'm gonna help you out a little more. This subject lives in murky waters. Many believe slavery started in 1619, well before Bacon's rebellion. Turns out, that is not far enough. Further digging into the annuals of this country's history reveal that the Spanish brought enslaved Africans to present-day St. Augustine, Fla., the first European settlement in what’s now the continental U.S. In 1526, a Spanish expedition to present-day South Carolina was thwarted when the enslaved Africans aboard resisted. Now, this may not have been class warfare, but no white Africans were brought over on those ships.
There are many more historical references out here, so please keep up the good work of pulling back layers as it is truth that will make us free!

It’s crazy that so many don’t know this story. I’m so glad you’re bringing awareness, be prepared to be flagged into oblivion.
The stupid thing is that there are white creators who make similar content. Atun-Shei has never had a problem with his channel being flagged, Townsends has never had an issue with their channel: both channels have talked about colonial race relations and how things changed over time, although I don't think either addressed Bacon's Rebellion specifically. I think the goal of flagging channels like Ms. Romero's is not actually to suppress information, but to limit social mobility for non-white people. TH-cam content creation is the easiest way to increase your social status (even if not your income), particularly since it is now becoming very possible to break into showbiz through success in content creation. Show business is one of those things which "raises persons of obscure birth into undue distinction" in the words of Sir Walter Elliot, baronet of saying the quiet part out loud (aka, the heroine's father in Persuasion by Jane Austen). Movie stars have often married nobility and royalty, Meghan Markle only being the most recent example. I think her case terrifed some people, because of course all the other examples had been white women marrying European nobles or Asians marrying Asian nobility. How dare someone use fame to marry interracially right? 🙄. At least, if the goal is suppressing information then the effort is failing since white radicals actually do very well on this platform. But flagging non-white creators does limit their ability to gain fame through the platform. Though with algorithms it is admittedly difficult to tell whether they are functioning as intended, or if they are just bad at fulfilling their intended purpose.
The Spanish and Portuguese did the same.
They started it.
Yes casta is a huge piece of this!
You are doing a fantastic job on this channel. Thank you.
I first learned about this when I visited the National Museum of African American History. Never had a clue that blacks were anything other than 2nd class citizens in the beginning of this country and segregation came later.

Danielle, I just found out recently through Geni that Captain William Carver "of Norfolk" is my 9th Great Grandfather. He was hanged in 1715 after Bacon's Rebellion
A rainy good day from Copperhill Tn.
Same here in East Texas!
Likewise from Whitesburg, TN where the rain is slacking.
Heyyy, checking in from Cleveland, TN. Was beautiful yesterday though. 80 degrees
I was up with all the thunder at 2 am 😩😬
Fantastic work!
Hi Danielle! 2 thumbs up for the courage to open this discussion. 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼 There is no accuracy without nuance. Not sure of which people are more afraid. 🤔🙄 I think at a certain point, the folks who have been conditioned to believe a certain way to maintain their status and security will just check out and glaze over if it means being uncomfortable or giving up something. 😢 The group who lost the most and most often audaciously ignored, not to mention all but eliminated, were the Native Americans. 😢
Money and power, it's always about money and power.
Thank you, I had not heard about this historic turning point.
The Jamestown settlement began with mixing of races between the English and the
Native American population. A quarter of the surviving settlers married into the local
native population. This entitled them to trade and land grants from the Native Americans.
Consequently, in a generation or two, a new class of mixed planters was established
but grandfathered as descendants of ancient planters. This allowed them the privilege
extended to the lily white, wealthy newcomers who did not suffer the starvation and
deprivation of the early settlers. Two of my ancestors, John Dodd and William Lawson
fell into the mixed category. By the 3rd and 4th generations, their descendants quickly
began leaving coastal VA and headed to the western frontier of VA where they were
readily accepted by the new settlers who enjoyed the freedom of the frontier
Danielle, thank you for your hard work. A while back I commented on your " white privilege" discussion, which I was delighted to find that you addressed my comment with a response. As an American of mixed ancestry, I proclaim to be African American. Today, I applaud your courage and willingness to learn; unfortunately, our "great country" does not believe that honest and transparent history can be a unifying and healing tool. Lastly, I hope that your work provokes others to learn and speak about our history since many in our society tend to close their minds when these facts are presented by those of African American descent.
I appreciate you being here, and always always welcome conversation. Hopefully more of us will be open to the conversations that must happen here
Thank you!!! I read about this some years ago, a topic many don't seem to care about.
Thank you for this topic, lesson! Actually, I dont think I knew about this. Im 44. I will say I didnt always retain everything from high school, BUT, this is a pretty major thing! Im glad but also sad to know it exits.
Let us learn and DO better with the knowledge we have! Knowledge is power! And listening, trying to understand others and love it so important!
Danielle, I LOVE yout channel and work! Thank You
Great video! Keep it going!
I appreciate your candor- expressing the truth we all know exist.
Love your breaking through the History of how we became what we are, keep up your Great work.
Hate is a helluva a drug
Thank you for posting this video! Your work is extremely important! Be blessed!❤
Another 🔥video!
Thanks girl ♥️♥️☺️
Based on a comment you made in a previous video about the lack of history on Italians, I began searching through my books for this information. I didn't find much but here are a few books that might interest you.
-"White Like Her, My Family's Story on Race and Racial Passing" You might find this book close to home. Some of the photos in this book are similar to photos you have posted. They are also from Louisiana.
-This book is one of a series, Ethnic Groups in American Life - "Italian Americans, Into the Twilight of Ethnicity." (not in my collection)
-"Strangers in the Land, Patterns of American Nativism, 1860-1925
I also have a book titled "The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America" This book mentions every single immigrant from around the world EXCEPT ITALIANS. Why?
As an African American I have made it my business to obtain any book I come across that has anything to do with our history. I will keep on looking for you.
Hope you don't mind.
Super good job!!! Thank you!
Excellent video! Thanks!
If people would figure this out, we could really thrive as a people.
It’s so simple but so impossible somehow

I really appreciate you covering this matter. It is imperative that we all prioritize and thoroughly comprehend the origin of Race. Then we'll have the knowledge to solve the symptoms (Racism, Redlining, Oppression, etc.)🤔...Authors, Jacqueline Battalora and Theodore W. Allen go in-depth regarding the invention of Race.
Keep up the good work!!
Thank you For digging deeper.👍
Very enlightening, never knew when this bogus manipulative taxonomy was codified 👍🏼
This is why people want you off the internet. 😊 You are putting the pages “back” into the history books.🎉
I’m from Virginia and doing my geneology I realized that one of my family members was apart of bacon’s rebellion and it’s so crazy because I’m so called black but I know I am indigenous because I did my geneology. Because of the rebellion the it was in the writings that they put a rope or nuse around my family member neck and took a lot of his land. I was like wow this is so crazy. I had never heard about bacon’s rebellion also I have Italian mix in me too.
7:21 that is your personal interpretation on their thinking.
I argue that in european class systems, nobody is seen as worthless just ideal for a specific matter or only good for a specific matter.
There was of course a certain dynamic and families and individuals could rise and fall through all ranks and classes.
I like how you said it better! Thanks
Nobody ever talks about Bacons rebellion. Good coverage and good media, sister.
I agree with you 100%. I’ve stopped referring to myself as ‘black’ a long time ago.
I like your username!
Me also it's dehumanizing

@msbrickcity_900 how so
@@msbrickcity_900I prefer it over AA personally
Love your content!
Its not money and power. Its the preservation of identity, which gives them money and power. I love your work.
It's always been "divide and conquer".
'The Invention of the White Race - The Origin of Racial Oppression' by Theodore W Allen (Verso Book Publishers.) There were videos here on TH-cam about 6 to 8 years back regarding this specific historical development, based on the said book, and about said author and his work; that's how I first learned about Bacon's Rebellion and the Ruling Class response to it - this video is the first I've seen referring to it in many, many years. . . and it's good to see!

race and ethnicity has always been a stronger bond than class, blood is thicker than water.
Well said Danielle
Good video. It all started with the strategy used by the rich elite during 1676 to defeat the coalition formed during Bacon's Rebellion. With truth, comes healing.
From what I learned by studying Western and American settler history, it is based on a colonial system that favors Eurocentric, or White American or other White majority concerns of any European Colonial Territory - which is why Whites ended up being the majority and most beneficial over Natives, Blacks and others. HOWEVER...
This is not to ignore the regional or local instances of people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, races and classes to work together against the system or corporation, rather locally or nationally, this has actually happened a lot - at times regional Tribes and one of the colonial powers or local Whites have aligned with each other and rose up against the oppressor colonial power or Federal Government, and some Natives and Blacks have historically aligned against their colonial oppressor, and some Whites and Black People have united for common goals. Also in the work field, there as been plenty of cases of everyone uniting for universal worker rights since the founding of America.
What we can't ignore the fact that all Minorities, especially Natives and Blacks, have gotten the short end of the stick in many cases. There has been some civil-rights policies that have helped combat and invest into Minority communities, it has helped somewhat, but not good enough.
This is not to ignore that certain European or modern ethnic white groups have experienced some form of systemic oppression or discrimination too, but the system has adjusted itself to accommodate much of this issue. The poor white families and communities who exist today, has been affected more recently by classism.
Over the last few decades, the federal and corporate policies shifted from a more race based to a class based system, it became a elitist vacuum up economics system that created huge income disparities. So we are left with the historical remnants of colonial Eurocentrism and now classism from the past few decades, so we need both Minority civil-rights laws that targets each group for protections and investments, and also universal programs that invests and protects the working class from all backgrounds.
All this is why I'm a democratic socialist, at least economically.
I agree, someone is getting the short end of the stick and everyone else is trying desperately to make sure it’s not them or their kids. I really don’t know the solution to this.
As far as politics, I don’t think we are too far apart. I guess if I had to choose I’d say a libertarian but then we would disagree on how much power the state should hold. I’m against a large state because I feel like it is always corrupt. But if it wasn’t corrupt, I’d be on board with you.
@@nytn I called myself a libertarian in late 70s, 80s, having found the "Aloha Caucus" in Iowa. The sex and drugs wing of the party, one said.
I said for years that I went right, around to the back.
You ever hear "a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged"?
By the end of the 90's I was feeling mugged by the economy, and felt I was coming "around the back" of ideologies, and out to the left.
Jim Hightower's Rabble Rouser event in KCMO, 2017, convinced me that Libertarianism is a facade for robber barons: surprise, another con.
From feeling libertarian practices could lead to that rising tide that lifts all boats, I became squeamish because leaving investors to their own devices does _not_ lead to successful individuals setting great examples for everyone, but to dire and urgent need for environmental protection regulation!
The Green Party alienated me by making anti - capitalism a plank in their platform, but by now I do feel utilities and hospitals should be cooperatively owned, and that subsidized education would produce better taxpayers and customers!
@@nytn I think most Americans are becoming aware of historic race relations, and made significant improvements of looking at everyone as individuals first, or working on inclusion, justice and tolerance. Work is needed with the American populace, but I think it's the policies, it still has racism and classism in it.
Minority communities are still redlined by banks to a certain extent, and are left out of American dream. We need investments in education, healthcare and infrastructure which will help all Americans, who are lagging behind all developed counties in these categories. And the America economic system is a corporatist classist system controlled by elitist who buy off politicians to do their bidding.
To fix this, I think money out of politics and reinstating The Glass Steagall Act is a start, than breaking up the two party system by voting Independent or 3rd Party - This is maybe the only way to get Congress to focus on the American People.
The Reservation System need to be overhauled to economically liberate Native communities, to do that, the Treaties need to be reformed to give Tribes autonomy over their own lands, resources, economy and laws much like a State has. The Inner cities need infrastructure, education, and investments and so on. Everyone can use police reform, the police serve the corporations and protect property over average People, especially Blacks, Latinos and Natives. I think ending the drug war, and legalizing drugs will put a damper on gang activity, and investing in universal healthcare will help everyone.
All this requires trillions of dollars, so to generate and free up the needed funding, would require ending funding for wars, foreign interventions, corporate bailouts, corporate subsidies and slashing the budget of the Military Industrial Complex, Police State and Corporate welfare.
All this of course requires a political revolution that involves mass protests, road blockades, civil disobedience and millions unifying for class, work and civil-rights. This is only way to bring the politicians and CEOs to their knees, this strategy has worked in Bolivia and other countries.
@@nytn I figured you leaned socially Libertarian and perhaps moderate to right leaning on economics but Liberal on ethnic, race and class relations. Socially I'm center-left to center-right, and economically I'm Progressive to Democratic Socialist. I'm far Left on economic, human rights and civil-rights. I think using progressive and democratic socialist policies to fix the system, the economy to liberate everyone, than we can strive toward a Libertarian Society.
I'm not anti-American or anti White or anti anyone else, I'm anti colonial, anti-imperialist and anti-corporatist who despises the elitists, police state and military of the USA. So going back to "they divide us", yes, it's the elitist from the central banks, big corporations and large political organizations who do that. Both Party leaders are paid to do the divide and conquer on Americans.
But you are doing a service to people talking about ethnic, race and class issues in America, and giving a history less on societal and policy views on these topics. I think more Americans are striving to find their ethnic origins or finding their ancient or modern day identity. I think more people will develop a understanding of each other. Excellent work you do in that respect.
As 1/2 of an "interracial marriage"; my wife and I are different shades of melanin, we were raised with different languages and cultures, even from different continents, I find myself thinking about issues along division based on race constantly. In many ways I am very tired of it all.
I have many thoughts but I will just share one. I wish that our government would fix the immigration system so that we could refer to anyone that comes as a legitimate immigrant. I don't want the terms illegal or legal to be used. We as a populace are conditioned by many parts of the media to see certain groups of people as "illegal immigrants". This creates a great division that is frequently labeled as racism. Yet it frequently is resentment, not racism, expressed by those who consider specific groups of people be "illegal immigrants". This creates a great division in our country which could be fixed by a straightforward immigration system where people must go through a process to immigrate. I wish our government would fix the immigration system.
You are exposing the truth and laying it bare for us to see. They say if man does not know the past (history) it is destined to rule the present and the future unchallenged.
I love your channel so much!Keep up the good work!
It’s just sad how completely the “white” people bought into and embraced it.
This also wasn't without a lot of violence. At various points, other interracial rebellions also took place and the establishment took more measures to separate lower class White people from Black people. John Brown, the Saint Patrick Battalion, the Coal Miner's Strikes in West Virginia, etc. the War on Drugs, redlining, the GI Bill, the 13th Amendment loophole, all of these things were measures intended to allow economic and social mobility to lower class Whites while withholding it from Blacks.
This also happened to the Irish. The British looked down the the irish and when the Irish came to America the same stereotypes were still used for the Irish.
❤ thank you
I am glad TH-cam finally recommended this.
Bacon had a fort in my hometown of Gloucester Virginia, he was attempting to run the Pamunkey out of the peninsula. I’ve actually found several relics from his time there
Ahhhhh 😩😩 that is amazing
Thank you-I had learned a little about this type of law in South and Central America and Mexico, but I didn’t know when the Black Code had been introduced in North America and the change from indenture to slavery based on skin color😢
