The Nations Biggest Collection Of Racist Objects Are All In A Michigan College Basement

- David Pilgrim, a Black sociologist, runs the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia out of the small, white, Trump-voting town of Big Rapids, MI. With the help of private donors like Chuck and Ward, an elderly gay couple, Pilgrim believes that sharing his expansive collection can change the way racism is perceived in the United States.

“History repeats itself. I see things like almost every day, all day, on social media,” one visitor said.

Nice race baiting vice by posting the Charlottesville link. Like liberals can’t be racist. It’s only a matter of time before you disable the comments
It's just ironic. A complete lack of communication WILL cause history to repeat itself. Vox, Vice, TYT, Infowars, CNN, FoxNews... You guys just don't get it. THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRUTH... That's why y'all didn't understand why Trump won/why people flock to Jordan Peterson. JUST REPORT IT. WE'LL DECIDE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT IT.
did you just heart your own comment lol
just lie to the people. that'll make them trust the media.
History isn't repeating itself, the biggest force of racism right now is the white killings in SA. Are we really meant to take people seriously when they say "like" in the middle of the sentence with no purpose, no one else pick up that it is obviously a statement taken from a tween?
*one
If it makes you uncomfortable, then the museum has succeeded.
Exactly. As much as I hate even seeing this stuff, it's absolutely nessesary
not really
in Mexico, nobody talks about the fact that there were millions of Africans taken to the new Spain, present-day Mexico, even the data scarcely reveals that there were only 250,000 Africans when there was even more, the Spaniards were the ones who took the Africans to the new Spain but the mexican ppl always wanted to make invisible downplaying the importance of Afro-descendant ... to this day Mexican history books never talk about the importance of African culture and deny that there were millions of Africans 500 years ago, Until today, Afro-Mexican people are not taken into account, even Mexicans dare to say that there are no african or afromexicans people in Mexico when it is more than obvious that in the souther states of mexico like veracruz ,guerrero, oaxaca etc there was a lot of African influence or on how various Mexican historical figures were Afro-descendants, Álvaro Carrillo Alarcón.
Emiliano Zapata...Gaspar Yanga....Pío de Jesús Pico....Toña la Negra...Vicente Guerrero....JOSE MARIA MORELOS Y PAVON but nobody talks about it mexican ppl only talk abou the mexicas tlaxcaltecas aztecas and mesoamerican native tribes
When there was slavery in Texas, this state still belonged to New Spain ... so yes, many of the slave owners were also white Mexicans (whitexicans) and Creoles with close to Spanish european ancestry, since Mexicans who had close to indigenous ascension had no right to have black slaves
.. but although in Yucatan Mexico still in 1910 you could be a mestizo Mexican and still have the right to have black slaves or even have Mexican people as slaves who were 100% indigenous ... since the mestizos were never friendly with the 100% indigenous people ... the book called Mexico Barbaro talks about these issues many of these crimes in Yucatan were in full 1910 and that continued to happen in such a corrupt country
It doesn't make me uncomfortable
No one is born racist, it can only be taught.
Thanks, ice bear

By destroying all these icons (like the confedrate statues), America would be openly denouncing its racist past..
Jus my opinion tho..
@@KuhmeyaMayo I think another commenter (@shade247) summed it up pretty well, "[We] must BE REMINDED of history (no matter how awful) in order to ensure it is not repeated." In addition, we can't just destroy history and pretend that these items were never made as...they were. Keeping it all preserved is definitive proof that the history behind it happened. All this old racist memorabilia makes it definitively clear that racism was incredibly common back then.

I'm so happy that such a museum exists. Destroying controversial items is not the way even if I fully understand that they come with great sufference and embarrassment. They do belong to a museum, where they can be presented under a critical point of view to teach the new generations where we came from, and why this is all wrong. Or the memory will just fade away and in a bunch of decades we'll be there again (not that we won't anyway... but this is at least a good attempt to prevent it)

Pontiac Bandit the alt right 🙄
@@thatgoddamnpotato yep. Alt right is dangerous. I'd go as far as to say they're the reason antifa get a bad rep in the media. Lots of people are alt right because they have no university experience, or little to no understanding how right wing news media created the large influence of the alt right
Pontiac Bandit yes, yes! Finally a person on the internet with a brain! 😂
@Pontiac Bandit you guys think if you’re too the right of Stalin then you’re alt right. Alt right is the very fringe right. The 20 people that show up to the nazi rallies and such. There’s not very many of them. Most of the Democratic Party is very far left though. Approaching Bolshevik territory real fast
If museums like this make people uncomfortable, then, the place did its job. We need to see things like this in order to learn from the mistakes in history, don't repeat them, and become better people.
Oh yeah. I as a white person would have a very uncomfortable time walking this museum. I don't mean to get all white-sensitive, but it would just upset me to see so much artistic expression of such grotesque beliefs which I individually denounce on full display. Yet this represents a 0.0000000000001% of all the atrocities that stem from the slave trade. The "ROPE" picture made me sick to my stomach.
Exactly. Racism SHOULD make you uncomfortable. Oppression should never ever be something we're comfortable with.
*To forget history, is to forget the diary of mankind.*
So, if these pieces are ‘racist’ because they are caricatures and / or artistic depictions of African-Americans from the ‘Jim Crow’ era, and if America is still ‘systemically racist’ today, ergo does that mean that the character designs from Disney’s _The Proud Family_ are racist too? 🙄
@@fletcherhamilton3177 you're not making sense at all...
I'm glad this collection was preserved and put on public display. Not because I support or relate to the Jim Crow way of thinking by any means, but rather because I believe this was an important era in our history that shouldn't be swept under the rug and forgotten about. The pieces on display there represent the effects racism has on it's targeted groups. It's a great visual way to show us the damage we can cause if we allow ourselves to stoop to those lows. It's also the perfect reminder that just a few generations ago it was who we were. All of it is degrading to the black race, and no matter how insulting it was to them...there was a time when the majority of white people actually thought it was ok to view blacks in this manner. We are all humans, and no race has ever been created to be any better than the next. We should always treat each other with respect and as equals...because that's reality and that's how it is. As we view the history of the Jim Crow era, it's the perfect time to take a long, hard look at ourselves to determine if we are in fact guilty of being racists ourselves. The ignorance of our ancestors is not a burden that's been passed down from generation to generation, but we should still take the time to understand the facts of those times so we know how important it would be to stand together against it if history would ever try to repeat itself.
Those who cannot remember their past are doomed to repeat it
I hate to say it, but this is one museum that will never run out of things to exhibit.
The more disgusting things it shows, the more things we will learn, and the better our capability to fight it
I totally agree.
This museum probably will those things only have value because of there history anything after a certain point is plain old stupid
@@gentylermitchell3535 The point isn't that I think they will literally keep expanding their collection infinitely. It's that racism was and continues to be such a widespread and accepted phenomenon, it's likely even into the future that new racist items will be created making new candidates for this museum inevitable.
(unless racists decide to give it up suddenly, but I don't expect that to happen.)
If it were possible to remove all the horrible context to all of this, a lot is really funny, I know that’s not a PC take, but that’s my take.
The take away isn’t funny or cute at all tho, it seems like museum is doing a great job at spreading awareness about this stuff, sadly it takes being slapped in the face with this crap for SOME people to open their eyes... others will NEVER open theirs or even try... but sweeping it under the rug won’t help but neither will laughing at the stuff while not actually thinking about what these things meant, what they mean and a million other things!
All that crap in that museum is real and it was made for people that wanted to buy it... and that stuff is not that old!

I went to the University of Wisconsin back in the early '70s, and one of my work study jobs was in the University archives. We would get objects and collections that persons would donate and one of my tasks was unboxing the items and identifying them and a preliminary report for logging them in. One day we got a rather large box from a town in western Wisconsin; and we were stunned to discover that the box contained a well-preserved and extensive collection of KKK robes, accessories and memorabilia. I'm not sure what ever became of it, but none of it was ever put on display during my time at the University library and archives.

As of present we have no video or photographs but in present day we do have photos of the lynching gatherings.
As someone who isn’t black, but is a POC (East Asian), I’m not against the idea of this. Yes it’s shameful, and plenty controversial, but it’s used in a way to teach society to not make the same mistakes, or at least slowly drift away from those awful sentiments. Keep these in a museum, not to honor them, but to remind people that their ancestors were wrong in many ways, and to teach them to not do the same things.
Reminds me of the field trip we took to the Museum of Tolerance in Hollywood over 20 years ago. Very eye-opening as a youth to see those things and imagine that kind of life.

They would show compassion unto their white kindred on *certain* things, but not the same to their POC (person of color) acquaintances. It would be done only pertaining to certain scenarios, so it often got overlooked (dismissed). But I paid attention because it was directly affecting me, of course. Strange people.

My mom was so humiliated and apologized profusely and yelled at me she laughed and gave me a hug and said "yeah honey its me" she told my mom it made her feel like Santa cause she could see that I was in awe of her and was showing her love because I didn't know that kind hate existed. I will always have respect for her reacting that way if that were today with women of this generation they'd probably smack me.
😂😂😂 and u didn’t actually say it to be mean, u said u loved her 🤦🏾♀️ but I do agree that it may not have ended too well in 2021
Why would you tell someone that looks like aunt jemima that you love them, but eitherway very wholesome.
@No dude, stop. Bc Aunt Jemima is Aunt Jemima, everyone loves her

Idk I think older millennials would also find it cute. Younger ones might be upset you called them old lol.
J.Cole once said in his song High for Hours:
*They came here seeking freedom and ended up owning slaves*
Now think about that for a second
toxiicbozz most of the founding fathers were not proud of slavery but they knew how much of a touchy subject it was so they just kinda ignored it hoping that one day it would disappear.
@@maxv0085 yeah. It was really touchy and during revolutions and the founding of a country, it was a massive priority to unify the nation instead of divide it, and it often came to racism being tucked under the rug. Washington was forced to own slaves, and if he rejected it, the south would probably spark another war.
LEMONHEAD3232 Ahh the privilege the white man has always had of being able to ignore it.
LEMONHEAD3232 thats why george washington owned slaves, right? cuz he was so ashamed of it

3:37 "This is really racist... That's also sexist... This is a wonderful piece!" Lmao!
Ikr lmao
I think they said about how impactful the piece is
You know it’s a great piece when it’s racist AND sexist
that's how collectors normally speak omg but it sounds so wrong
...
I think we need more people like this man to talk about race. The discourse and arguments between left and right have been so polarised that has become just stupid trying to follow it. This man shows that you can have a moderate discourse and still have a strong position. Being moderate is not synonymous of weak opinions or having a flaky stance in your political believes. It is refusing to use simplistic arguments and not being afraid of saying how things are in a detailed way.
I agree the politics from both sides really caused a lot of damaged we need more people like this man so we can that talk.
imagine going into an antique shop and hearing, out of context, two old white men say in excited tones "Wow, this is really racist!"
Two old grey-haired queens
You would double take for sure 🤣
And then hearing “that’s a beautiful piece!”
"My god, it's sexist too!"
💀💀💀
The guy who made this museum is black himself, which shows just how brave he was when looking back on some of America’s terrible racist history.
But if he was white I bet you it would not go well
@@velocityhdmi8140 ever heard of John Brown?
@Hail Satan okay?? Your reply is irrelevant to the comment you replied to. This video and comment isnt about being american or liberal

He looks like a white person to me, as a someone who's not an American so I'm not familar with light skinned Blacks. Glad to know the museum is well-recieved but seeing him makes me be reminded of someone calling me a white person just because I have light skin even though I'm Asian (I look East Asian but I'm a SEA) and a fellow Indian I know was insulted as a white person first hand because she had light skin in her pfp.
", but they're not talking about it [race] where their ideas can be challenged."
That last thing he said was powerful. So true.
Discussion is much easier to be had between like-minded individuals or within a group who already agrees with you. The people that need their minds opened up/changed the most are, often times, the least likely to hear the message in the first place....because they just won't listen or because those who speak righteously don't often speak to those that need to hear it most.
I want to go check this museum out
Its interesting that when I see Aunt Jemima I think of a lovely black woman... But that same image can be seen so differently.
It makes me sick. The amount of slave imagery used in modern advertising is insane. That most of our country doesn't notice or care deeply saddens me. Aunt Jemma, Uncle Ben's it sick and twisted.
Liberals and Negroes are not thinking logically they are motivated by emotions like children
Aunt jemima reminds me of family dinners and breakfasts and good times with my mom or grandma cooking but damn.... I never knew what it actually meant
I didn't know Aunt Jemima was part of this until now. Is it bad that I still eat her pancakes?
I also thought Aunt Jemima is that lovely grandma who calls you sweet names like “baby” or “boo”.
For a country that always bangs on about how free it is and was, it wasn’t very free at all. Rotten to the core.
still not free.

@Shaggy Rodgers read the comment above mine.
These days you only have to scroll through Twitter or Instagram to end up in a racism museum.
When someone says “hey I want you to meet someone” and then they take you to Hemet Ca I would think I was about to get robbed 🤣
If you watch toddlers of different races play together they have no problem. So racism has to be taught.
to say it has to be taught may be true in some cases but a baby would pet a shark and has no experiences to go off of. it can be taught and adopted from life experiences.
Bruce - Racism is a sinful impulse that is inside every person. Most people control the impulse, but some don't
I had to be taught not to be racist. I remember I disliked Asians, black people, and brown people up until like 3rd grade. I didn't like their facial features and I was envious that they had darker skin than I did. Part of it was because my family always talked about how beautiful my tan skin was (I'm adopted and a quarter Mexican) so I would get envious of people who had darker skin. Some reason I didn't like Asian's eyes. I can't pinpoint why but I would look at Asian kids in the hallway and the anger I felt was satisfying to me. I agree with Horse Sense. I think racism is hardwired in the human brain and people need to be taught not to think racistly. I don't think racism can be totally erased in a human's brain. It would be as difficult to do that as it would be to erase sexuality from a human's brain. I think racism is a defense mechanism that perhaps helped us in prehistoric times for some purpose but now isn't needed and causes problems for our species.

I can’t imagine the pain and struggle black people went through man this is so sad 😞
@Pantherzz
Everyone goes through struggles bro.
Zart african americans have been oppressed for so many years now, they struggle way more in this society just because of the color of their skin.
No it's not. Africans sold other Africans. It's not your fault white man.
@@sngraves2390 Hush hush, dear slavery denier
but they were enslaved by their own kind and sold to early colonist... are we just going to forget about that; when all this hatred for white people that werent even born yet well after slavery ended?

I've never been in a situation like that but I feel her pain
The comments under this video never fail to surprise me
This is so important, we can’t destroy racist memorabilia we need to keep it within a museum. Teach and further a discussion of what these things represent and what we can learn as we move as a society.
what would you say to old wise black men that say to get rid of rasicm we have to stop talking about it
@@note_finger Stop talking about racism means forgetting history. And remember, once history is forgotten, we tend to repeat the same mistake.
Sorry, but i disagree with the old black guy you mention.
@@note_finger I dont get what you mean. I embrace history, i dont like statues going down. And i also dont understand the Venezuela part.
Darren Atm you're saying history tends to repeat it's self which I agree 100%.. Look at what happened with Venezuela when it's citizens were tearing down statues and rebelling against chavez as well in the soviet union. Look at that history compared to whats going on here in america, do you not see the similarieties? with CHAZ? and far left idieologies. History still tends to repeat its-self even when identified
@@note_finger Tearing down statues is not what i meant by history repeating itself. I was saying that the issue with statue would LEAD to forgotten history and therefore would be repeated again.

We're shocked that similar displays of racism are seen today, but we forget that a lot of people who grew up with this stuff and saw it as normal back then are still alive, working, voting, and influencing our youth. They're also in our government, making decisions that affect us all.
I was extremely upsetting and disturbing seeing how things like this are still being made
I almost feel bad for racists. Imagine being so insecure, shallow and terrified of your fellow man that you hold something as insignificant as race up as something to be proud of in yourself and something to hate in others.
Amen, you've just said what I've been trying to say for many years
Unfound Films right and all the things they made seems like they were obsessed with black people
@@metroshorts6591 They need an excuse to justify their own ignorance to themselves. So they create their own false images of other people and feed it back to themselves to perpetuate their hate. If they just saw people for who they really were their fears wouldn't be justified. It's why it's pointless to parody racists, theres no exaggeration of them thats more pathetic than the real thing.
Hide from the truth
No Mercy whatever
I seriously don’t get how u can hate on someone because of their skin color, religion, sexuality etc. Why? I just don’t get it.. what makes you better?
sometimes it comes from irrational fear of foreign customs or ideas, but more often it's the creation of an "other" to be exploited for personal gain. There's an inherent classism to a lot of racism that has made a select few handsome profits.
Evan Szakats I don’t want to sound like those crazy lizard people freaks but god just needs to end the fucking world and restart ya know like that giant flood that but obviously something different because he said he wouldn’t.
The fact you can’t understand it means you don’t know enough about it. It’s been throughout all of human history that if you were different they didn’t like you and It didn’t matter where or who you were.
Creed I think iknow what it is. People basically put me down all my life because I’m different. I am mixed black and Asian. Both sides of my family were not really understanding and they didn’t really accept me cause I looked so different. They talked bad about me and my parents and even stopped contacting us just because of me and my brother being born. Then
I got bullied at school cause of my differences. There was even a time where I was so ashamed of who I was and so insecure that I tried to change my looks just to satisfy people. I’ve grown past that and I now completely accept myself. I am proud of who I am and I don’t care what other people think. It’s upsetting that people are still so close minded and ignorant. And it’s so sad that it still happens to this day.
@@eszakats America has a pretty shitty track record when It comes to anything foreign
People tend to forget that all of this was acceptable not that long ago. When some people hear racism and Jim Crow, they immediately think a really long time ago. But segregation ended in 1965. Think about that.
Museums like this need to be preserved we should never forget the awful past so that future generations won't make the same mistakes
Back in my school days before I graduated in 2010, I did a presentation about black slaves and racism from back in the 1800s and early 1900s. A few of my classmates refused to listen to me and walked out the classroom eventhough calling me ignorant names. I gave everyone a warning to not take offense to my project as I was bringing up full awareness of the how and why did many blacks suffered throughout their history. There was nothing to be aim are targeting anyone in the classroom and throughout the day I was heckled for no reason and I'm black myself. Later that day their parents came to and ask what happened and I showed to them what I did for my project. They clearly understood what I was trying to teach in class and the classmate's parents forced their kids to write me an apology letter to read out loud to the class.
Wow. Sorry you went through that, it's terrible. And those are good parents then.
@@LeratoM33711 I know right? Cause they know they would never raise their kids to take on that kind of ignorance.
@@Filmore1991 Yess. Unfortunately it seems like parents nowadays are taking steps backwards and it's the kids who end up educating their parents.

That one white person: "racism doesn't exist
Jim crow museum: am I a joke to you???
Who says racism doesn't exist?
Assuming that only a white person would say that is at its own, a racist thing to say
@@zissists1210 you make a good point but at the same time, as a white person, i have met quite a few white ppl who have said this or similar things. If youre from an area where you arent seeing it often then it is easier to think people are over exaggerating the racism theybe faced. Its also more likely for a white person to say it than any other race since we usually dont face any kind of prejudice firsthand.
But it’s not like this as of today age Jim Crow has been outlawed not saying there is racism of course there is but it’s been around forever 😞
@@zissists1210 my point exactly..im even black
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it
This was hard to watch. So heartbreaking!
