I don't care about people's race, national origin or faith. I appreciate people who care about history. The study of history is the study of "How the hell, did we get into this mess and what can do to get out of it based on prior events.?"
Right color doesn't matter when it comes to being interested in history. Let me tell you this. When Skip Gates started doing "Finding Your Roots" on PBS it was not called that. The show was first called African American Lives and as the title suggested it was about African-American genealogical history. With me being an African-American I was totally invested. A couple of years later, people other than African-Americans wanted to have their family genealogy done on the show. Skip said that he had never really given it a thought, but he and PBS were interested. I thought that I would not be very interested in the shows involving white people. I was not going to watch. But I happen to catch an episode and you know what? It was just as interesting as the African-American ones. There were a lot surprises and unknowns in those peoples family histories too. The beauty of that show is no two family histories are alike and all of them are interesting.
I think the reason they keep us separated and don't want us to know. Is because some of us are decendants of the powerful ones. Once their truths is discovered the people you think are in charge aren't human at all. Jmo
You can't be prevented from studying your own history. Besides, there's no such thing as American history that doesn't involve the history of all Americans. Every American should know all of it.
Yeah, its weird, its like wen People point out there were "melaneted" native americans even before colonization. People get so defensive about this, i am like; "what does it even matter anyway?". No indigenous nation was white, but they did have a variety of skin tones, most native groups of central and north america, have "my kinda of skin tone", light skin, but gets very dark in the sun. While most native tribes in Brazil have a darker complexion, in fact, thats why the cast sistem of the portuguese and the spanish are so different.
@@wellersonoliveira5334If you travel, I can tell you that many Apache are still very dark, tohono oodams are dark, and of course places in Mexico all the way down to the Yucatán. The melanin skin tone that you referring to still exist but it’s not common up north. it’s curious that.
Many Americans are uncomfortable with American history because of the panic over things like "critical race theory," without understanding what that even is. They've been told that "critical" = pointless criticism, not critical thinking. They've been told that somehow looking back in any way but glorifying the past is baaaaaaad.
bretnwalker8596:. You even have African-Americans who fit that description. Many of them don't want to hear the history of African-Americans pre 1964 Civil Rights Amendments. They are ashamed and uncomfortable. When you confront them about it, they will tell you that they are not ashamed, while the same time saying that don't want to hear it. I used be somewhat that way. I didn't change until I really started to dig in to African-American history (US history). Once I did I realized that I had dehumanized African-Americans who had been enslaved. I did not see their humanity. Once I came to that realization and started learning more of our history the freer I became. I no longer felt bad when I saw a program on US slavery or Jim Crow. I started to see strong people instead of victims. Movies like Twelve Years A Slave no longer made me feel bad. They actually make me think more critically about that time period. I think more of that history should be made into movies. The first thing out of the mouths of some black people who are ashamed is "I don't want to see that slavery sh*t". Those are the people who need to learn more of that history not less.
That's why I like your talks on ancestry. You cover a lot of ethnicities of which you are many of them. It's refreshing to see someone not pick one race but wholly embrace ALL of your ancestors. That honesty is sorely missed in our society.
Ethnicity and heritage are related concepts but they refer to different aspects of identity: Ethnicity: Ethnicity typically refers to a social group that shares a common cultural, linguistic, or ancestral heritage. It often includes factors like language, religion, traditions, and customs that are passed down through generations. Ethnicity can be tied to a specific geographical region or historical background. For example, someone might identify as Hispanic, Chinese, or Somali based on their ethnic background. Heritage: Heritage, on the other hand, refers to the inheritance or legacy that is passed down from preceding generations. It encompasses not only cultural elements like traditions and beliefs but also tangible aspects such as buildings, artifacts, and natural features. Heritage can be both tangible (such as historical sites, artifacts, or family heirlooms) and intangible (such as oral traditions, languages, knowledge systems, and rituals). In essence, ethnicity tends to focus more on cultural and ancestral ties that define a group's identity, while heritage encompasses a broader spectrum of inherited elements, both tangible and intangible, that contribute to one's sense of belonging and identity. Saying she's part of many ethnicities is wrong Her ethnicity is tied to Italy / being Italian American Her heritage is tied all around where her ancestors came from Ok
So many people will present an argument that history doesn't matter because it's in the past. I'd just ask, "Why do prospective employers require a resume?" Or why do they take your medical history (including family history) when you see the doctor for the first time? Why is that knowledge relevant to the present?
Love your channel as is. I’m a black 52 year old woman who moved to Texas a few years ago. I noticed that there were kolache stores in Dallas and wanted to find out why. It took me down the rabbit hole of the history of Czechs in Texas and how they ended up here. History belongs to all of us. Why can’t I do a video on Czechs in Texas or Vietnamese or Mexicans in Texas?
Right said ma'am! "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum putu " (please have mercy on me I m not googling to check if my Latin didn't break 😁) - it just means "I am human, and nothing human is foreign to me". Quote by Roman Berber author Publio Terenzio Afro 😊
I am of the opinion that you could make a video on those subjects. Just do your research and maybe include someone from the community that you are studying!
You are a jewel. Please do not let the nay sayers deter you. I admire the work you do, and you definitely have opened my eyes about some things in history. You have the right to speak on any topic you choose.
Gatekeepers everywhere. It’s an absurd idea that only a select group of people can speak about specific topics. If that is the case then no one can discuss Shakespeare except native British people.
Hi Danielle,let´s face it:racist BS,nothing else,don´t let these trolls trigger you!!! Folks from around the world LOVE your channel,keep up the GREAT WORK !!! 🥰
Engagement is the key Danielle. And I appreciate your commitment and passion in what you love. I learn a lot from the information you provide. Thanks. 👍🏾💯✅
If you aren't qualified I wonder then who would be? I've had teachers who were not African American teach on that history in college and they were excellent. I attended a lecture at the Writer's museum in Chicago and the writer was of Indian descent and she wrote a detailed book on the slave trade. I was a fan of an author who wrote stories that took place in England. They had wonderful details and you felt as if you were walking the streets, as you read the stories. Over time we became friends, so I was pretty excited to share with her that I would be on visiting a couple of places that she has written about. I asked her for advice on what to explore when I reached the cities; imagine my surprise, when I ended up being her tour guide. She had never been to the United Kingdom! You don't have to have been somewhere or be from that racial group to have a deep, understanding, appreciation and respect for getting the facts right. thank you for sharing these experiences because they give your followers insights to some of the challenges you face in hosting these topics.
"Others can know our own history better than us" I agree. I had some college classmates from Russia/ USSR who didn't know about some things in their own history and novels that famous authors there wrote but were banned for whatever reason. And while studying my family tree, whether I found the right person or not, I still can learn more details about American history that we didn't have time to learn about because there isn't enough time to learn everything about everything in school.
That's also certainly the case for the right-wingers who fetishize anything called "Anglo-Saxon" when they simply think it's a smart-people term for "blond." They haven't a clue where Angeln and Saxony are nor the history of the British Isles after the Romans left. There's no reason to think that we all know our own ethnicities' history better than anyone else. You know what you STUDY. If you go into something looking to learn about it rather than looking for ways to confirm your own ideology on either side of the fence, you're not going to be learning well.
It’s interesting to me that a country like Germany has in their curriculum discussions about their fascist past and. propaganda and it’s effects on the population. Here in the U.S. in many places we don’t want to discuss ALL of our history. We want to cherry pick what we tell to future generations. If we don’t learn these historical lessons we may repeat them. I think we all should tell the stories regardless of our own ethnic backgrounds. It’s our collective history.
Danielle don't stop your work. You are uncovering facts/events/people that particular people/groups went to great lengths to suppress and scrub pre internet/social media. The most vocal critics want what you speak of to remain hidden.
Humans share music, recipes, stories, jokes, and commiserate with each other. You don't have to be from Louisiana to like gumbo, you don't have to be African-American to appreciate the Blues and Jazz.
So true. It's amazing how people just think Europe = no melanin. I'm "black", I live in Europe and I see Europeans that give my melanin content a run for it's money. 😂😂
Danielle, it has been a pleasure sharing your journey with you. You are a beautiful young lady inside and out, and you are a great historian. Keep doing what you do.
I believe to learn about each other (different ethnicities), we need to study the different histories. I personally have always enjoyed learning about other cultures. I feel it helps us to get along better and not come across as insulting. It helps us to not adhere to stereotypes.
E bella thats VERY DISRESPECTFUL, when a white or a black Person to tell you not to talk about it. because they dont know there on history . Im Italian american Grazie tu el mio papa. God bless you Warrior i like history too.🙏🇮🇹🇺🇲🇵🇷🙏
The protests over who can study history and who can't are on the level of school yard bullying. People are still repeating tropes and stereotypes from the past without questioning where they came from or why the sight of someone who doesn't look the way they do triggers them. Maybe if they are exposed to history they will think before deciding how much America someone is entitled to based on appearance or last name. Keep up the good work.
Study any part of our history that you want, Danielle. The only things that matter are academic rigor, intellectual honesty, and trying to get at the truth. I believe that you meet those standards; your candor and willingness to consider a variety of viewpoints are also refreshing.
Let me get this straight, the troll stated you are the wrong ethnicity to speak on European history, yet historian Europeans speak on other ethnicities history. Make it make sense.
As a person with advanced university degrees, and someone who has studied history (my dad encouraged me like you) you are qualified as long as you study the facts. Keep up the good work. I enjoy it and find it informative.
I commented something similar on a different platform. But haters will always exist. That is how nature intended. That's just how it is...Bottom line, you're a threat. Those people who criticize you want to hide the past. They want to live a lie. Keep doing you! Much respect.
It is so obvious that many of the naysayers with contrary opinions just can’t seem to stay away from your channel! And the clearly listen without hearing. Don’t allow the trolls to raise your blood pressure, keep pushing forward. Let those see the light with the eyes to view it and leave the rest to the darkness their souls cannot escape. ❤
Love ya work ❤❤ That comment is weird to say the least. People often forget how often european contries are "mixed", the iberian peninsula for example has alot of non white folks. In fact, race mixing was even a Imperialist Strategy adopted by the Spanish in the new world.
@wellersonoliveira5334 We mostly look diverse because of evolving in the sunny subtropical Mediterranean having very little Middle Eastern/North African dna. That’s why all this manufactured American racial division is meaningless to start with.
@@dantesabatino5429 True words. Could be wrong, but weren't spaniards not considered white until very recentlly in the usa? I need to check out my sources later.
@wellersonoliveira5334 I think they’ve been conflated with Latinos in the past, but many of us Italians and Spaniards look “Latino” anyway. Selma Hayek and Sofia Vergara resemble many dark Europeans, it’s just Mediterranean diversity which is why race is ridiculous.
Any body can study anything he wants to. How much he can understand and how high a level he can achieve is another question. That is why I appreciate what you are doing giving us different ideas of what you know and think about history. That will enrich everyone involved. Thanks . Keep going, and I will follow what you have to say!
By his own reasoning, that Mongol/Asian/Russian/German/Polish/Czech/Indian has no right to be telling you anything because he is “the wrong ethnic background” to have the discussion. Carry On because you’re doing a great service in opening up these conversations about your, mine, his our American history. I too developed a love of history and anthropology because of my dad…and Classical Music but that’s another story. It’s been a gift that keeps on giving.
Your videos are so captivating, forthright and informative. I so appreciate your making these programs and sharing all these interconnecting stories and expanding my understanding of the history, historiography and ethnography. Please don’t be intimidated and keep going forward.
When I took “Logic” in college over forty years ago, “Appeal to Authority” was defined as basing an argument on who a source was, or their credentials, and ignoring the actual content of what that source was concluding. Evidently, that is no longer what is taught.
How's that saying go? Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it? A person can try to pretend that such and such never happened, but it always backfires. That's why cancel culture can be dangerous. My husband and I were talking about Aunt Jemima the other day, and how all those ignorant people canceled a great black woman entrepreneur from the early 20th century by assuming she was being portrayed as a "mammy" servant and exploited, , and we said it's a slap in the face for modern black entrepreneurs. Don't cancel history just because you don't like something, or you assume something, and it hurts you in the feels.
You don’t see how a mascot, not an entrepreneur but a mascot for a White company is harmful when it further perpetuates the narrative of Black folks naturally being suited to be the help? You gotta know the handkerchief and smile was purposeful. Google it. She didn’t own that company, ever! She was a mascot. A smiling Negro serving Whites was the brand. How can a self respecting Black entrepreneur navigating through White supremacy look at a bottle of Ms. Buttersworth, the outline of a Black body, a Black slave or Black maid, whatever she was marketed as, as the brand that’s being sold and feel any sort of pride with that depiction? That’s honorable? Please look it up for yourself.
Furthermore, “cancel culture” is only dangerous to the institution of white supremacy, misogyny, domestic violence, homophobia, predatory capitalism and fascism. It’s their just desserts if a celebrity or company is engaging in abusive tactics or behavior. I can speak for Black people and say we should have been doing it all along! We have indiscriminately supported racists for too long! And where we haven’t had much of a say or political power we can decide where our Black dollar goes and let it speak for our intentions and the businesses and celebrities we support. There’s no way you’re Black saying cancel culture is dangerous and this is a very OFFENSIVE statement to suggest we shouldn’t be able to make decisions about where our money goes based off of poor behavior. You want us to pay to be further abused? Why wouldn’t we want to support those that support us? To indicate we shouldn’t is what’s dangerous! To suggest we shouldn’t make decisions in our own interest is dangerous. I’m not trying to be too harsh but I’m sorry that type of sentiment is really triggering when all of a sudden who we give our money to matters so much and the idea being we shouldn’t look at their policies where it affects us in particular. I’m sorry but that’s just INSANE to me! 😂 Literally insane!!!
And you’re right we should never cancel history. We should TELL IT ALL. I’ve been committed to doing that since I was a teen and the first statement you made about being doomed to repeat it is so true. The truth will set us ALL free- but make sure it’s actually true, like you said don’t assume because you’re in your feelings. Check and recheck to make sure your info is accurate! 👍🏽
Good points on history and those of us who have read and studied history. We all should we up on American history and the history of the diverse histories of the Irish and other groups that came to America. History is for ALL of to read and research. Thank you Danielle, you're work is on the side of the angels ❤
Keep in mind since history is written by victors that we only know what was written about it. Objectively we can never know the experience because we were not there. So it is the historians job to deliver a depiction they feel is accurate.
How can people complain about you looking into your own ancestry? History belongs to all of us, and should not be changed to make people "feel better about themselves." (Not meaning you, obviously)
Explore all eras you are interested in. Valid research can be done by anyone, and in your case, you also have a degree. I found your videos very interesting and informative. Keep exploring all realms you choose. You are an intelligent, beautiful, and caring woman. I appreciate your knowledge and insight on the topics you talk about. Don’t let the negative comments influence you, except to dig in and spur you on to greater dissertations!
Hi Danielle. You keep doing you. I enjoy your vids about history and racial divides. To me, we all belong to one race - the human race; one species, Homo sapiens. Our ancestors came from Africa - whether it was thousands of years ago, hundreds of years or more recently. Carry on with your work! 👍 (your subscriber since 5k+)
I thought history was history as long as it is taught truthfully and completely. It is filled with inspiration and depravity and it is up to each of us to learn from it.
I just ran across your fascinating channel a couple of days ago! I think it was bc I'm into family history, dna, and Dr Gates! Finding Your Roots is my fav! Anyway, you doing a great job! Don't let few negative comments stop your purpose! Your purpose is to teach! Ok! Teach.... Peace
I really enjoy your videos, even when we’ve come to different conclusions or have read conflicting sources but tbh sometimes I avoid them all together because the comments can be so triggering! I feel like I can spend a whole afternoon clearing up misconceptions and misunderstandings- which further highlights why your channel is so important and I can’t imagine how many crazy comments you read! It’s the ‘manifest destiny’ 1950’s faux history we’ve been spoonfed vs the historical myths and hunches we’ve assumed, connecting the dots without ever picking up a book vs actually history and they’re all battling it out! I appreciate an academic teaching it! ❤
Danielle you are doing exactly the same thing you said you shouldn't do -- respond to the trolls. If you use their "logic" no one is allowed to perform CPR or the Heimlich manoeuvre to save a life except they are a doctor or a nurse. History is so vast. No one individual can cover all it's intricacies and fact points. Therefore, while it shouldn't need to be said, your contribution, regardless of your qualifications, once it's backed up by documentation and respectable sources, is just as valid. Additionally, for the people who are tired of the black/white historical divide, people like you wouldn't need to fill in the gaps of the missing parts of this history if the perpetrators of this racial division didn't work so hard to erase it from the record.
As a kid, I loved going into the dark corners of the library, wiping away the cobwebs, carefully opening the yellowed pages of forgotten documents that most people never read. If I discover some forgotten aspect of history why should I remain silent because I don't look like those people or it wasn't my experience? People who think history only belongs to some small sliver of a population would leave most history undiscovered. Keep up the good work. I support you in your work. Don't let the critics stop you.
I like that you address some of these,comments because i really want to answer then,keep doing your job i find them so enlightening,and you are an historian.
You are historian and scholar with mastery perhaps in one or more eras, because but that doesn’t preclude your pursuit of knowledge in other eras or even fields of study besides history. I applaud your endeavors and look forward to your questions and research that you share on this platform. Discourse is healthy when parties are open to questions about their findings. You have been self deprecating and often begin with some caveat that triggers some who are less capable of defending their conclusions with supporting evidence. Keep up the good work!
Wow, people need to understand as long as we tell the truth and tell all the truth. I’m good with it. I just don’t understand why people get so upset about this. History is for the understanding the past. Thank you keep doing what makes you happy.
You do a great job to me the people on here that are fighting you are most likely ashamed of what their ancestors have done and don’t want to be reminded of it keep up the awesome work if they don’t like it don’t have watch but I’m watching and learning and your very passionate about it thank you for all you do
When it comes to history, the more voices the better. I have learned more from reading people’s regular letters to each other than in history books. I studied WWII and came across a bunch of letters that the soldiers wrote to their families. It really changed what I thought about the war.
This quote came to mind as you were explaining why dialogue is important. Just thought I'd share it, today. KUDOS to you Danielle, your creative space for open dialogue is awesome!❤😊 "It is only within the open space created by dialogue whether conducted with our neighbors, with history, with nature or the cosmos that human wholeness can be sustained." - Daisaku Ikeda

I also love history. As early as elementary school I would read my social studies books for pleasure. I also loved watching PBS at a young age. I live to learn more about American history and that's why I continue watching your TH-cam channel.
The majority of authors who have published books on African American history were White. It doesn't matter what color a person is. What matters is that they are providing information. Just ignore ignorance. Stay on track.
I am an African American with no credentials. I have collected over 8,000 books on our history in this country, in Africa, and around the world. Make no mistake, I am not ignorant. Many books have been written negatively about us, but many more have been positive. People with access to information, regardless of their color, should be able to make the information available to anyone who is interested in learning.
@@David-zv5xm Nah , Im sorry bro , I'm African American & see that as complete nonsense. I actually know this history extremely well & I just wrote a long comment explaining what it entailed, it's at the top area of the comments. 1st of all , this just isn't our history, it's the history of this country, that obviously involved us , but also involved white people & occasionally Native Americans To say we should be the only ones to talk about it is insane , & also historically inaccurate. As it's not just our history . We were at the center of it , but not the only people involved . But no one owns history.
We can study whatever we want. You do not need credentials to be intelligent. No matter how small or large the percentage of your DNA make up, you are those things. People are just stupid. Keep doing what you are doing. You are doing great!!! I have learned a lot. I am multi cultural, educated, and love history too. I love family history. I appreciate your hard work.
These reactions remind me of reactions to historians when they talk about Israel for example. Those 3 road blocks always come up any time they get near anything uncomfortable. Maybe I was just brought up that the more knowledge the better even if it gets uncomfortable. I feel like those road blocks and fear go hand and hand. And yes you are a historian.
Ugh its the age old cultural appropriation vs cultural appreciation. Why must we forget history? In order to understand your own identity you have to understand the complexities that your ancestors went through and how innovations moved societies forward. History is not always positive, but, that doesn't mean we diminish it.
How ironic -- History has been taught to people of all ethnicities from a Eurocentric perspective, overwhelmingly by "white"-appearing folk since long before the United States was a country. For some reason that was ok, but now only people identified as this or that "race" can teach the history of the people someone else thinks the teacher should be identified as. This is the history of all human beings, and it is important for all human beings to understand and consider from a wide array of perspectives. "All things affect all things." "All things in a circle." Thank you for your meticulous work, Danielle Romero. Thank you for your commitment to considering all of the evidence we have available on any particular point. I appreciate you.
We used to joke Babe Ruth was black, and this was 50 years ago! We used to joke about everything and everybody. People take things much too seriously. In any case, the more I hear about the stupid comments here, the more I like my dogs.
I’ve mentioned many times that you’re brave to put your life out there like you do. And those of us who subscribe to your channel are all the better for it. Unfortunately, your openness and honesty will trigger some folks for sure. I think it’s healthy for you to share some of these comments. I know you don’t need our confirmation, but you have it any way. Keep doing what you’re doing. You have over 100k subscribers for a reason 😉
I’m not a fan of his way of presenting history. For instance his whole “Slavic meaning slave” thing. Eastern Europeans did not and do not agree with that. Alot of them said it’s a language thing and that the word Slavic pre-dates the word slave. Which I can agree with because I think the Russian language pre-dates English.
@@noelbrown6771 No I listened for awhile and certain things about economics I can agree with. But a large part of his message seems to be not for me. Maybe I’m not his intention viewer because it’s just not my cup of tea. Bless his heart tho I think he means well.
Don’t you dare stop teaching!!! You are a mixed woman much like myself and can teach on what you see fit. Don’t hate keep! That will make you stop moving further in learning and sharing the information. Keep going! Don’t stop! Peace and blessings! 🌺
If people knew more of history they wouldn't have said that. We all came from somewhere and when we look into it we can find some things we didn't know or expect. I think it's important to know history whether it's personal or world history or whatever. What that person was saying is that they are prejudice and aren't looking for history.
History has to be studied or presented with truth and respect for the FACTS, completely objectively. Unfortunately our society is ruled by feelings. The past is tough, for instance most of us weren’t there and much information is second hand. Facts are facts and opinion is exactly what your thoughts are…see the fork in the road. I’m a fan of the channel, and in joy your content.

Those are the people who need to learn more of that history not less.
That's why I like your talks on ancestry. You cover a lot of ethnicities of which you are many of them. It's refreshing to see someone not pick one race but wholly embrace ALL of your ancestors. That honesty is sorely missed in our society.
Ethnicity and heritage are related concepts but they refer to different aspects of identity:
Ethnicity: Ethnicity typically refers to a social group that shares a common cultural, linguistic, or ancestral heritage. It often includes factors like language, religion, traditions, and customs that are passed down through generations. Ethnicity can be tied to a specific geographical region or historical background. For example, someone might identify as Hispanic, Chinese, or Somali based on their ethnic background.
Heritage: Heritage, on the other hand, refers to the inheritance or legacy that is passed down from preceding generations. It encompasses not only cultural elements like traditions and beliefs but also tangible aspects such as buildings, artifacts, and natural features. Heritage can be both tangible (such as historical sites, artifacts, or family heirlooms) and intangible (such as oral traditions, languages, knowledge systems, and rituals).
In essence, ethnicity tends to focus more on cultural and ancestral ties that define a group's identity, while heritage encompasses a broader spectrum of inherited elements, both tangible and intangible, that contribute to one's sense of belonging and identity.
Saying she's part of many ethnicities is wrong
Her ethnicity is tied to Italy / being Italian American
Her heritage is tied all around where her ancestors came from

"I’m an Indian who chose not to formally enroll" - Danielle Romero
So many people will present an argument that history doesn't matter because it's in the past. I'd just ask, "Why do prospective employers require a resume?" Or why do they take your medical history (including family history) when you see the doctor for the first time? Why is that knowledge relevant to the present?
ohh 🔥
Love your channel as is. I’m a black 52 year old woman who moved to Texas a few years ago. I noticed that there were kolache stores in Dallas and wanted to find out why. It took me down the rabbit hole of the history of Czechs in Texas and how they ended up here.
History belongs to all of us. Why can’t I do a video on Czechs in Texas or Vietnamese or Mexicans in Texas?
We all appreciate tasty goodness!
It's not important for Americans. They don't care.
Right said ma'am! "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum putu " (please have mercy on me I m not googling to check if my Latin didn't break 😁) - it just means "I am human, and nothing human is foreign to me". Quote by Roman Berber author Publio Terenzio Afro 😊
Not really belongs.
I am of the opinion that you could make a video on those subjects. Just do your research and maybe include someone from the community that you are studying!
You are a jewel. Please do not let the nay sayers deter you. I admire the work you do, and you definitely have opened my eyes about some things in history. You have the right to speak on any topic you choose.
Gatekeepers everywhere. It’s an absurd idea that only a select group of people can speak about specific topics. If that is the case then no one can discuss Shakespeare except native British people.
Native Brits have become a minority in their own country 😂😂😂😂.

Keep teaching us history, the good, the bad, and the ugly. If you study, research, and learn you are most qualified to teach. So teach!
Hi Danielle,let´s face it:racist BS,nothing else,don´t let these trolls trigger you!!!
Folks from around the world LOVE your channel,keep up the GREAT WORK !!! 🥰
AND I LOVE having you here
YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB AND YOU ARE HIGHLY QUALIFIED AND INTELLIGENT!!!!!
Engagement is the key Danielle. And I appreciate your commitment and passion in what you love. I learn a lot from the information you provide. Thanks. 👍🏾💯✅
I appreciate you here so much
If you aren't qualified I wonder then who would be? I've had teachers who were not African American teach on that history in college and they were excellent. I attended a lecture at the Writer's museum in Chicago and the writer was of Indian descent and she wrote a detailed book on the slave trade. I was a fan of an author who wrote stories that took place in England. They had wonderful details and you felt as if you were walking the streets, as you read the stories. Over time we became friends, so I was pretty excited to share with her that I would be on visiting a couple of places that she has written about. I asked her for advice on what to explore when I reached the cities; imagine my surprise, when I ended up being her tour guide. She had never been to the United Kingdom! You don't have to have been somewhere or be from that racial group to have a deep, understanding, appreciation and respect for getting the facts right. thank you for sharing these experiences because they give your followers insights to some of the challenges you face in hosting these topics.
The truth hurts! Just keep teaching.
I appreciate your channel, you’re doing a net positive 💯. There are many more that thank what you do than discount it. You’re brethren 🇮🇹 🇺🇸
"Others can know our own history better than us" I agree. I had some college classmates from Russia/ USSR who didn't know about some things in their own history and novels that famous authors there wrote but were banned for whatever reason. And while studying my family tree, whether I found the right person or not, I still can learn more details about American history that we didn't have time to learn about because there isn't enough time to learn everything about everything in school.
That's also certainly the case for the right-wingers who fetishize anything called "Anglo-Saxon" when they simply think it's a smart-people term for "blond." They haven't a clue where Angeln and Saxony are nor the history of the British Isles after the Romans left.
There's no reason to think that we all know our own ethnicities' history better than anyone else. You know what you STUDY. If you go into something looking to learn about it rather than looking for ways to confirm your own ideology on either side of the fence, you're not going to be learning well.
@@jcortese3300... and you aren't going to be trustworthy when you will try to teach and preach. I fully agree with your comment.
It’s interesting to me that a country like Germany has in their curriculum discussions about their fascist past and. propaganda and it’s effects on the population. Here in the U.S. in many places we don’t want to discuss ALL of our history. We want to cherry pick what we tell to future generations. If we don’t learn these historical lessons we may repeat them. I think we all should tell the stories regardless of our own ethnic backgrounds. It’s our collective history.
Danielle don't stop your work. You are uncovering facts/events/people that particular people/groups went to great lengths to suppress and scrub pre internet/social media. The most vocal critics want what you speak of to remain hidden.
Humans share music, recipes, stories, jokes, and commiserate with each other. You don't have to be from Louisiana to like gumbo, you don't have to be African-American to appreciate the Blues and Jazz.
as a new yorker living in nashville, I couldnt agree more LOL
Anyone thinking the host does not look european did not see southern Europeans. The truth is universal.
Well ya ,often southern Europeans have some African DNA. The African Moors came all through the area.
So true. It's amazing how people just think Europe = no melanin. I'm "black", I live in Europe and I see Europeans that give my melanin content a run for it's money. 😂😂
@@Blacktsalagi73those are contaminated Euros
@@adventuresinmoodcitypod2000not the African Moors 😂 .Arabs are from the middle east
@@user-qw2sv2xj9h Or... people who make those comments are Americans obsessed with something they know nothing about. That's you.
I enjoy studying history. I have no degrees in it but that doesn’t stop me from reading about it and learning new (to me) things in the process.
If people would watch your videos with an open mind, they just might learn something. Keep doing what you’re doing. I love learning from you.
Danielle, it has been a pleasure sharing your journey with you. You are a beautiful young lady inside and out, and you are a great historian. Keep doing what you do.
I believe to learn about each other (different ethnicities), we need to study the different histories. I personally have always enjoyed learning about other cultures. I feel it helps us to get along better and not come across as insulting. It helps us to not adhere to stereotypes.
💯
Yes, I agree!
Don't let the haters get to you!
I'm grateful for your research.❤
You are allowed to study whatever history era YOU CHOOSE!
You're doing a great job! Don't listen to those people!
E bella thats VERY DISRESPECTFUL, when a white or a black Person to tell you not to talk about it. because they dont know there on history . Im Italian american Grazie tu el mio papa. God bless you Warrior i like history too.🙏🇮🇹🇺🇲🇵🇷🙏
The protests over who can study history and who can't are on the level of school yard bullying. People are still repeating tropes and stereotypes from the past without questioning where they came from or why the sight of someone who doesn't look the way they do triggers them. Maybe if they are exposed to history they will think before deciding how much America someone is entitled to based on appearance or last name. Keep up the good work.
I always hope they stay for a bit!
Keep doing what you’re doing because you are helping more people than the ones who are offended. They don’t have to watch. You’re doing a great job. 👍
I think we all need to find our roots. We've been lied to so much. You keep finding your truth. I find it fascinating
Study any part of our history that you want, Danielle. The only things that matter are academic rigor, intellectual honesty, and trying to get at the truth. I believe that you meet those standards; your candor and willingness to consider a variety of viewpoints are also refreshing.
I'm surprised you havn't gotten a lot more and worse before now. I'm thrilled by what you've been doing. All the power to you!
Let me get this straight, the troll stated you are the wrong ethnicity to speak on European history, yet historian Europeans speak on other ethnicities history. Make it make sense.
As a person with advanced university degrees, and someone who has studied history (my dad encouraged me like you) you are qualified as long as you study the facts. Keep up the good work. I enjoy it and find it informative.
I commented something similar on a different platform. But haters will always exist. That is how nature intended. That's just how it is...Bottom line, you're a threat. Those people who criticize you want to hide the past. They want to live a lie.
Keep doing you! Much respect.
It is so obvious that many of the naysayers with contrary opinions just can’t seem to stay away from your channel! And the clearly listen without hearing. Don’t allow the trolls to raise your blood pressure, keep pushing forward. Let those see the light with the eyes to view it and leave the rest to the darkness their souls cannot escape. ❤
They love hanging here, maybe they will listen eventually :D
Danielle as an American you have every right to talk about American history no gatekeeping (I do love lays regular potato chips)
it was always cape cod chips! the lighthouse on the bag :D
Love ya work ❤❤ That comment is weird to say the least. People often forget how often european contries are "mixed", the iberian peninsula for example has alot of non white folks. In fact, race mixing was even a Imperialist Strategy adopted by the Spanish in the new world.
@wellersonoliveira5334 We mostly look diverse because of evolving in the sunny subtropical Mediterranean having very little Middle Eastern/North African dna. That’s why all this manufactured American racial division is meaningless to start with.
@@dantesabatino5429 True words. Could be wrong, but weren't spaniards not considered white until very recentlly in the usa? I need to check out my sources later.
@@wellersonoliveira5334 just watched a video on Spain and many Spanish people have less Spanish DNA now than people and the “New World”.
@wellersonoliveira5334 I think they’ve been conflated with Latinos in the past, but many of us Italians and Spaniards look “Latino” anyway. Selma Hayek and Sofia Vergara resemble many dark Europeans, it’s just Mediterranean diversity which is why race is ridiculous.
@@dantesabatino5429look up “Irish Iberians” and how the same European “race” scientists thought of the people of Spain and Ireland.
Any body can study anything he wants to. How much he can understand and how high a level he can achieve is another question. That is why I appreciate what you are doing giving us different ideas of what you know and think about history. That will enrich everyone involved. Thanks . Keep going, and I will follow what you have to say!
Keep doing what you're doing. They are LITERALLY trying to erase history as we speak...
Keep the great work up , when you speak the Truth you ruffle feathers. God bless.
I am so glad I found your channel!! ❤️❤️❤️
By his own reasoning, that Mongol/Asian/Russian/German/Polish/Czech/Indian has no right to be telling you anything because he is “the wrong ethnic background” to have the discussion.
Carry On because you’re doing a great service in opening up these conversations about your, mine, his our American history. I too developed a love of history and anthropology because of my dad…and Classical Music but that’s another story. It’s been a gift that keeps on giving.
Keep doing your broadcast. It’s very interesting, thought provoking and informative.
Thank you!
Your videos are so captivating, forthright and informative. I so appreciate your making these programs and sharing all these interconnecting stories and expanding my understanding of the history, historiography and ethnography. Please don’t be intimidated and keep going forward.
When I took “Logic” in college over forty years ago, “Appeal to Authority” was defined as basing an argument on who a source was, or their credentials, and ignoring the actual content of what that source was concluding. Evidently, that is no longer what is taught.
How's that saying go? Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it? A person can try to pretend that such and such never happened, but it always backfires. That's why cancel culture can be dangerous. My husband and I were talking about Aunt Jemima the other day, and how all those ignorant people canceled a great black woman entrepreneur from the early 20th century by assuming she was being portrayed as a "mammy" servant and exploited, , and we said it's a slap in the face for modern black entrepreneurs. Don't cancel history just because you don't like something, or you assume something, and it hurts you in the feels.
You don’t see how a mascot, not an entrepreneur but a mascot for a White company is harmful when it further perpetuates the narrative of Black folks naturally being suited to be the help? You gotta know the handkerchief and smile was purposeful. Google it. She didn’t own that company, ever! She was a mascot. A smiling Negro serving Whites was the brand. How can a self respecting Black entrepreneur navigating through White supremacy look at a bottle of Ms. Buttersworth, the outline of a Black body, a Black slave or Black maid, whatever she was marketed as, as the brand that’s being sold and feel any sort of pride with that depiction? That’s honorable? Please look it up for yourself.
Furthermore, “cancel culture” is only dangerous to the institution of white supremacy, misogyny, domestic violence, homophobia, predatory capitalism and fascism. It’s their just desserts if a celebrity or company is engaging in abusive tactics or behavior. I can speak for Black people and say we should have been doing it all along! We have indiscriminately supported racists for too long! And where we haven’t had much of a say or political power we can decide where our Black dollar goes and let it speak for our intentions and the businesses and celebrities we support. There’s no way you’re Black saying cancel culture is dangerous and this is a very OFFENSIVE statement to suggest we shouldn’t be able to make decisions about where our money goes based off of poor behavior. You want us to pay to be further abused? Why wouldn’t we want to support those that support us? To indicate we shouldn’t is what’s dangerous! To suggest we shouldn’t make decisions in our own interest is dangerous. I’m not trying to be too harsh but I’m sorry that type of sentiment is really triggering when all of a sudden who we give our money to matters so much and the idea being we shouldn’t look at their policies where it affects us in particular. I’m sorry but that’s just INSANE to me! 😂 Literally insane!!!
And you’re right we should never cancel history. We should TELL IT ALL. I’ve been committed to doing that since I was a teen and the first statement you made about being doomed to repeat it is so true. The truth will set us ALL free- but make sure it’s actually true, like you said don’t assume because you’re in your feelings. Check and recheck to make sure your info is accurate! 👍🏽
Good points on history and those of us who have read and studied history.
We all should we up on American history and the history of the diverse histories of the Irish and other groups that came to America.
History is for ALL of to read and research. Thank you Danielle, you're work is on the side of the angels ❤
Yes, history is for all of us and connects us.
Keep in mind since history is written by victors that we only know what was written about it. Objectively we can never know the experience because we were not there. So it is the historians job to deliver a depiction they feel is accurate.
Keep up the EXCELLENT work, Danielle Romero❣️
How can people complain about you looking into your own ancestry? History belongs to all of us, and should not be changed to make people "feel better about themselves." (Not meaning you, obviously)
Explore all eras you are interested in. Valid research can be done by anyone, and in your case, you also have a degree. I found your videos very interesting and informative. Keep exploring all realms you choose. You are an intelligent, beautiful, and caring woman. I appreciate your knowledge and insight on the topics you talk about. Don’t let the negative comments influence you, except to dig in and spur you on to greater dissertations!
Hi Danielle. You keep doing you. I enjoy your vids about history and racial divides. To me, we all belong to one race - the human race; one species, Homo sapiens. Our ancestors came from Africa - whether it was thousands of years ago, hundreds of years or more recently. Carry on with your work! 👍 (your subscriber since 5k+)
Human are species not race.
Um no we all not the same.
I thought history was history as long as it is taught truthfully and completely. It is filled with inspiration and depravity and it is up to each of us to learn from it.
Unfavorable history? That’s a good part of all history. It was what it was. WOW some people are so delusional. Good job Danielle.
Each one of us can study whatever era and whatever ethnicity that we envelope. PERIOD.
I just ran across your fascinating channel a couple of days ago! I think it was bc I'm into family history, dna, and Dr Gates! Finding Your Roots is my fav! Anyway, you doing a great job! Don't let few negative comments stop your purpose! Your purpose is to teach! Ok! Teach.... Peace
I really enjoy your videos, even when we’ve come to different conclusions or have read conflicting sources but tbh sometimes I avoid them all together because the comments can be so triggering! I feel like I can spend a whole afternoon clearing up misconceptions and misunderstandings- which further highlights why your channel is so important and I can’t imagine how many crazy comments you read! It’s the ‘manifest destiny’ 1950’s faux history we’ve been spoonfed vs the historical myths and hunches we’ve assumed, connecting the dots without ever picking up a book vs actually history and they’re all battling it out! I appreciate an academic teaching it! ❤
People can be mean. Ignore their ignorance
No need to explain! Your facts/talking points are bang on! NO CAP!
If those ppl don’t like it……move around. I love what I see here and your story represents most of us in one way or another ❤️
Danielle you are doing exactly the same thing you said you shouldn't do -- respond to the trolls. If you use their "logic" no one is allowed to perform CPR or the Heimlich manoeuvre to save a life except they are a doctor or a nurse. History is so vast. No one individual can cover all it's intricacies and fact points. Therefore, while it shouldn't need to be said, your contribution, regardless of your qualifications, once it's backed up by documentation and respectable sources, is just as valid. Additionally, for the people who are tired of the black/white historical divide, people like you wouldn't need to fill in the gaps of the missing parts of this history if the perpetrators of this racial division didn't work so hard to erase it from the record.
As a kid, I loved going into the dark corners of the library, wiping away the cobwebs, carefully opening the yellowed pages of forgotten documents that most people never read.
If I discover some forgotten aspect of history why should I remain silent because I don't look like those people or it wasn't my experience?
People who think history only belongs to some small sliver of a population would leave most history undiscovered.
Keep up the good work. I support you in your work. Don't let the critics stop you.
I like that you address some of these,comments because i really want to answer then,keep doing your job i find them so enlightening,and you are an historian.
PBS documentaries also has an affect on me
so much!
You are making a great contribution....don't let anyone deter you.
You are historian and scholar with mastery perhaps in one or more eras, because but that doesn’t preclude your pursuit of knowledge in other eras or even fields of study besides history. I applaud your endeavors and look forward to your questions and research that you share on this platform. Discourse is healthy when parties are open to questions about their findings. You have been self deprecating and often begin with some caveat that triggers some who are less capable of defending their conclusions with supporting evidence. Keep up the good work!
Wow, people need to understand as long as we tell the truth and tell all the truth. I’m good with it. I just don’t understand why people get so upset about this. History is for the understanding the past. Thank you keep doing what makes you happy.
If people disagree,why are they afraid to discuss. They're scared of the truth.
You do a great job to me the people on here that are fighting you are most likely ashamed of what their ancestors have done and don’t want to be reminded of it keep up the awesome work if they don’t like it don’t have watch but I’m watching and learning and your very passionate about it thank you for all you do
I am ashamed of what my ancestors have done but I still want to learn. I think that it is healthy to face the facts even if it hurts.
When it comes to history, the more voices the better. I have learned more from reading people’s regular letters to each other than in history books. I studied WWII and came across a bunch of letters that the soldiers wrote to their families. It really changed what I thought about the war.
This quote came to mind as you were explaining why dialogue is important. Just thought I'd share it, today. KUDOS to you Danielle, your creative space for open dialogue is awesome!❤😊

I am of mixed nationalities/races and geeze I have been able to trace on ancesorty back to 1500s with my grandmother's family back to Netherlands and Germany but my Sputhern italian side and Puerto Ricans father's side I am stuck in the 1800s I am told by my cousin I may have to check slave records but I did look and I can barely read the documents and I feel as though it's nearly ompossible...
join the descendants of slavery facebook group! So many wonderful experts on there who love to help
Omg ok I didn't even know there is a group... Thank You!
Yes!
I am looking for the group is that thr exact facebook group name? I also looked for link below did not see...
I think it is called just "descendants of slavery" but I will double check
I also love history. As early as elementary school I would read my social studies books for pleasure. I also loved watching PBS at a young age. I live to learn more about American history and that's why I continue watching your TH-cam channel.
Keep up the good work! We get it. I love love love history.! Am also from Louisiana and Texas. Learning so much. Head up!!❤😊
Thanks so much❤️❤️
The majority of authors who have published books on African American history were White. It doesn't matter what color a person is. What matters is that they are providing information. Just ignore ignorance. Stay on track.
I am an African American with no credentials. I have collected over 8,000 books on our history in this country, in Africa, and around the world. Make no mistake, I am not ignorant. Many books have been written negatively about us, but many more have been positive. People with access to information, regardless of their color, should be able to make the information available to anyone who is interested in learning.
@@David-zv5xmI guess you assumed I was not an "us". Well I am an African American who doesn't have to stoop to name calling to get a point across.
@@David-zv5xm Nah , Im sorry bro , I'm African American & see that as complete nonsense. I actually know this history extremely well & I just wrote a long comment explaining what it entailed, it's at the top area of the comments.
1st of all , this just isn't our history, it's the history of this country, that obviously involved us , but also involved white people & occasionally Native Americans
To say we should be the only ones to talk about it is insane , & also historically inaccurate. As it's not just our history . We were at the center of it , but not the only people involved . But no one owns history.
Perfectly put. I have had black teachers, professors, historians teach me "white" history. What's most important is that facts are taught.
White is a blanket term.
Let's get more specific, why did two rabbis create the NCAAP?
Now you know only Angelo Saxon can write and tell the history. Heavenly Father help us...
Exactly, and get angry when a unfavorable portion about them is revealed/discussed
We can study whatever we want. You do not need credentials to be intelligent. No matter how small or large the percentage of your DNA make up, you are those things. People are just stupid. Keep doing what you are doing. You are doing great!!! I have learned a lot. I am multi cultural, educated, and love history too. I love family history. I appreciate your hard work.
These reactions remind me of reactions to historians when they talk about Israel for example. Those 3 road blocks always come up any time they get near anything uncomfortable.
Maybe I was just brought up that the more knowledge the better even if it gets uncomfortable.
I feel like those road blocks and fear go hand and hand.
And yes you are a historian.
Ugh its the age old cultural appropriation vs cultural appreciation. Why must we forget history? In order to understand your own identity you have to understand the complexities that your ancestors went through and how innovations moved societies forward. History is not always positive, but, that doesn't mean we diminish it.
How ironic -- History has been taught to people of all ethnicities from a Eurocentric perspective, overwhelmingly by "white"-appearing folk since long before the United States was a country. For some reason that was ok, but now only people identified as this or that "race" can teach the history of the people someone else thinks the teacher should be identified as. This is the history of all human beings, and it is important for all human beings to understand and consider from a wide array of perspectives. "All things affect all things." "All things in a circle."
Thank you for your meticulous work, Danielle Romero. Thank you for your commitment to considering all of the evidence we have available on any particular point. I appreciate you.
Keep plowing through.
Gosh I feel like you must be a great teacher especially since you really love history!

Thomas Sowell, is a Black economist and a writes some great historical works on Race and culture. Black and White! It's all about the facts 💯
I’m not a fan of his way of presenting history. For instance his whole “Slavic meaning slave” thing. Eastern Europeans did not and do not agree with that. Alot of them said it’s a language thing and that the word Slavic pre-dates the word slave. Which I can agree with because I think the Russian language pre-dates English.

Don’t you dare stop teaching!!! You are a mixed woman much like myself and can teach on what you see fit. Don’t hate keep! That will make you stop moving further in learning and sharing the information. Keep going! Don’t stop! Peace and blessings! 🌺
If people knew more of history they wouldn't have said that. We all came from somewhere and when we look into it we can find some things we didn't know or expect. I think it's important to know history whether it's personal or world history or whatever. What that person was saying is that they are prejudice and aren't looking for history.
Danielle is honest about who she is. People can take into account her background whenever she presents info.
History has to be studied or presented with truth and respect for the FACTS, completely objectively. Unfortunately our society is ruled by feelings. The past is tough, for instance most of us weren’t there and much information is second hand. Facts are facts and opinion is exactly what your thoughts are…see the fork in the road. I’m a fan of the channel, and in joy your content.
