“History repeats itself. I see things like almost every day, all day, on social media,” one visitor said. WATCH NEXT: Charlottesville: Race and Terror - th-cam.com/video/P54sP0Nlngg/w-d-xo.html
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.
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?
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.
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? 🙄
What an incredible man for taking such horrific things, and turning them into a teaching tool to help people remember and never forget the atrocities committed. In a weird way. It makes you more hopeful for the future in a world where these do not exist. I never would’ve thought he could turn some things so negative into such a powerful message.
I know a few people who have some black memorabilia. Salt and Pepper shakers and a few other things. Slavery was brutal, but as far as the odd piece of memorabilia I agree with you. Some of it is funny
@ I can assure you most of us dont hate Indians only a few actually do and we dont like to associate with them also Indians also said some racist stuff as well for example a black guy who supported him kept on being called the n word but that's in the past and let's just move on now
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
Austin S yep.. alligator hunting was super profitable 1800/1900s. white hunters used black babies as bait to catch them because of so many incidents of losing and arm, leg, even their life to catch them. :/
@@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!
@@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.
@@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 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
Sadly people are too stupid any more for this lesson. We're starting to see more and more racism come from the Democrats and their supporters day after day. (Abortion [AKA population control] is #1 in their racist agenda.)
@@budgetlifter you realize that is what communists and nazis did so there people didnt know about these things, how are future researchers supposed to know OUR history if they keep the cycle of getting rid of history
They were not just referred to as that. Black children, infants, WERE used as alligator bait. That is literally the tip of the ice berg. Dunking booths. White people used to bury Black infants to their heads and kick them off. No reference here, this happened.
@@kiyosip9298 this honestly makes me feel so disgusted rn.. please tell me this isn't a thing anymore. How can someone WTF Why was this even a thing ????
What's even wilder is that if you're in the U.S., Canada, South Africa, North African Arabic countries, Australia, New Zealand, or Israel, you're in land that was stolen from the natives, and the ruling class people there now are pretending to be the natives or identifying themselves by the names of the natives.

@@xCmOn3yx777 no one said anything about owning anyone. Racism still happens. I see it constantly. And if you try to speak out against it so many people yell at you for being negative, as if pretending it doesn't exist and putting a smile on makes it magically disappear
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.
@@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.
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.
@@buttnutt252 why are you saying "we" you didn't do shit. Just because your white and the person that did it is white does not mean you should take responsibility. If someone rapes someone should you take responsibility because you are also human?
@JustinOtherman123 That's why is not good movies from the 40's or older to be edited out that reinforce racist stereotypes, because is almost like an erasure that didn't exist which is simply not true i.e: Gone With The Wind. Is a historical piece reflective of their time we can learn about it to be better.
What's weird, though, if there was a museum somewhere holding a collection of explicit pedophilic erotica, would the same point apply? I bet $100 that a lot of people that tour this collection and express the appropriate exclamations of dismay and disgust INSIDE the museum, immediately start cracking racist jokes in the privacy of their cars on the way home about what they had just seen.
@timarnold7239 You are missing the entire point of this. Pedophilia has always been frowned upon. They aren't gonna show a damn museum of CP. The Museum for this stuff showcases it in order to remind people of the past and how commonplace it was to talk down to and belittle African Americans. It was this way all the way up to the 1940s-1950s. Laws and bills were passed and this stuff sort of faded away. There is still racism in this world today, a lot of it actually, but it is nothing like it was.
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.
If you didn’t know “Gator bait.” Was a real thing which happens during the times of slavery they would take the toddlers and new borns of black maidens when they would hang up the clothes upon clothing lines, they would hang the children on a stick and when attacked they would kill the alligator and use the skin for clothing etc. It wasn’t for the fun of it. It’s actual history.
@@zachthomas7810 yes there is testimony, that’s how we know majority of our history but if you wish to say all of that was fake then go ahead, it’s your own theory against those who lived through it and told it while it was passed down for generations. And as you see there was also merchandise made directly from the tragedy aswell, while mocking it. aswell as others in modern day who still hold to their testimonies that were told by there great grand parents that it had happened in the past so I doubt all of it is just “fake.” You’ve given no supporting evidence that it was all made up what you said is just an opinion.
@@zachthomas7810 it was declared in newspapers in the 1800s, so how’s that not evidence? along with many artistic illustrations, the racial slur aswell as statues, merchandise made on it and testimonies which continue to say the same exact same thing. All of that is, anyway have a good one. As of present we have no video or photographs but in present day we do have photos of the lynching gatherings.
Sis i always heard the slang colored when they talk about black peapol asuming that whites think that white color is the norm and the blacks are the one colored i was thinking about for so long in my head and came to a conclusion what if the black peapol aren't the ones who are colored they are the norm but the white peapol are the ones who were bleached out from colour yeah weird idea some peapol may call me rascist for calling white peapol bleached but im white so 🙂
I'm also black but some of the stereotypes kinda describe me sadly I like KFC, watermelon, koolaid but not as much as those racist cartoons say I almost cried when I saw the baby drinking ink and the sign saying "N**ger head" people who made those and supported them where SICK
@@mohamedouadoude3264 i mean no thats not how it works skin colour comes from melanin. absence of it creates white or clear in other words colourless. while having more melanin or pigment makes your skin more coloured/pigmented
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.
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.
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.
@@deagle2yadome696 It’s good that the museum exists, even though it’s based on a horrible time period in history. Ideally, racism and segregation should’ve ever been a thing, but now, the museum exists as a a warning to never let something like this happen again; and to prevent history from repeating itself.
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.
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 been collecting racist memorabilia for years, but my collection is not even half as large as this one. I used to buy racist souvenirs, mammy cookie jars, sambo statuettes and racist joke books. I wish I could've started collecting these objects earlier in life, but I was just a kid and my parents didn't want things like that in the house.
@Liberty Prime C.F P.N Huh? It is not better than today? Racism still lives but still significantly lower than ever in US history. Minorities have more opportunity than ever.
@Frederick Dorsey 100 black people were shot in Chicago this weekend including a 3 year old boy...and none of them were by the cops... stop your lies you fool
Frederick Dorsey you think blacks being murdered by police is a new concept invented in the last 5-10 years??? Lmao. And as a previous comment said, you really think Obama could have had a shor at president just a couple of decades ago? Blackface used to be much more prevalent, there was segregation, black people had to sit in back of the bus, etc To this we are wirst now than back then is incomprehensible.
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.
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.
yep it checks out. Black face brand mascot = racist . White face brand mascot = white supremacy . Lightened up black face = somewhat acceptable , but completely whitewashing history
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.
This is amazing. He turned these pieces into something good in a way to learn about the past mistakes and how evil it really was. I would love to visit someday im sure it’ll make me feel upset but happy that we don’t live in those times.
Go ahead and call me Danny Downer, but I don't really think we are any less evil today (as a whole) than we were in "those times." We've only gotten better at masking and keeping those thoughts to ourselves for fear of being cancelled or, even worse, beaten to death or hung for being a racist...which I guess is the worst thing a person can be. God forbid we express any disgust at people bringing children into a strip club while dysphoric men dressed as women strut around in scant attire with neon signs on the wall that say, "It won't lick itself!" as elementary school age kids stuff five dollar bills into some drag queen's g-string.
this ain't a mistake, you only make a mistake once.... but millions of times over is purposeful... they went out of their way to perpetuate it. took the kids, put it in the papers, took body parts as souvenirs, sent granny a postcard. citizens actively participated in it. I think you and the people who liked this are missing the meaning of mistake.
This is the best thing to do with shameful memorabilia. I understand the urge to destroy it, but preserving it is better because it's an honest depiction of the thoughts people had in the past and can teach us to be better.
As a history buff, I am entirely in favor of preserving artifacts like these. They serve as a tool to help us learn from the past to act better in the present.
@@doritosdaman That's odd, can you vote ? Do you have every right that whytes do? Can you benefit from Afirmative Action? You can get jobs when others were better qualified, and you can get into schools when there are smarter kids that were denied emission....
I can't even look at the photos of the black men being hanged without forcing myself, how screwed up were these people to do something like that to another person and even have PICNICS near the hanged man is just sickening.
How wonderful it would be to take some of these pieces on tour and display them around the country. I would absolutely take my sons 6 grade class to view and experience this most important part of our history. My husband and I teach him from home, but to see this beyond the safety of our home and love is vital. Kudos to Michigan University Jim Crow museum.
unpopular (i think?) opinion: museums like these are absolutely necessary in order to teach the futur generations about the mistakes of the past so that history doesn’t ever repeat itself i know a lot of people just want to destroy any sign of racism/hate that ever existed but i do not think that will help our society progress. acting like something never happened and keeping our children in the dark will only hurt them more.
Yeh i agree. there should be a museum which shows victims of bullying too so we can stop bullying forever. but as you know we can't change peoples personality. if someone is behaving poorly to others its bcuz their parents haven't taught them how to behave in front of other. its not nobodys others fault but their parents.
As a white person, I find these things interesting. It shows the mindset people had 50-70 years ago until now. (Of course the dolls and everything is racist, and disgusting, but I feel like people like me who are interested in this and wants to explore deeper should be able to. ( if I have said anything racist of have offended you please say, I mean no harm to what I said, and i hope if I have said anything wrong you can educate me about it❤️
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.
@@flysoup3607 It is lmao, just because it doesn’t effect you personally doesn’t mean it’s not happening around you.

the people that say "there's no such thing as racism" should watch this video. Sure some of these objects are old but the Obama ones are fairly recent.
Okay I'm totally on your side, but there is absolutely nobody who says "Racism doesn't exist". There are certainly people who say "Racism isn't a problem anymore" but not that it doesn't exist all together.
I know it's hard far most of us to imagine, but the people who think racism is not a problem anymore would not see anything racist about the Obama pieces. You'd be surprised how oblivious they can be.
I grew up in a very white only area and the first time I saw a black lady who had one of those hair covering on and was kinda chubby and I blurted out "Mommy its Aunt Jamima HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I love you" I had just turned 4 all I knew was she looked like the lady on the syrup bottle. 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.
For all the people who think it is offensive that he is collecting these, it isn't. He's collecting them to teach people how cruel things were and how we can try to prevent it.
Congratulations you found this channel Racism will NEVER end. Especially when it comes to black people as a whole. They hate us so much because they want to be us.
can people realize that we are trying to forget the racism in the world but we need to remember our history instead of pretending like it didn't exist.

Colby Slater, plus it’s the other way round now, whites are now getting hate from blacks, Hispanics and Asians. Apparently it’s deemed racist for a white person to be proud of their heritage and ancestors. Basically it’s the whites being discriminated by all the other ethnic groups even other whites, there is no equality in western society.
When u keep it around all it does is keep it alive , the best thing to do with the whole slavery thing is to just keep it in the past and stop bringing it up
Im mexican but i think this museum is very very important. It touches on subjects that no one wants to talk about. Not one history book or museum. Its horrible what black people had to go through these times. Its important we are well educated and know what happened.
Dillon Blair better educate yourself buddy they might've been integrated but they were lynched just as often and were just as subjected to racism as blacks
Never was never will be and that could be said for most southern states that have a lack of Hispanic immigration( Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, south Carolina, Oklahoma, Virginia and West Virginia )
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.
I really like what he said about the objects (like aunt Jemima) not being inherently racist. I just thought of it like he said as a "family" type image and never considered it had other implications until recently. I hope I can go to that museum someday.
Yeah, it was off putting at first. But if you look at it as it being a "wonderful" example of something that represents that time period's beliefs, it makes sense. Which is I'm sure what they meant.
This is were this stuff belongs in a museum that shows this kind of stuff. It is history that shouldn't be shyed away from at all. I'd love to go to this museum one day

Thedeath Ofdeath Try again. When conservatives learn to look at this countries flaws and accept them change them, this country will stop failing at being a 1st world country.
The people wanting to erase history because it's uncomfortable only want to erase the ones that don't suit their image. This is important and will educate more people than schools do
Those artists most likely did other fine pieces that weren't rascist in any way. But money is money at the end of the day and some people just see the green instead of the rainbow of humanity.
not an american but as a black Caribbean woman, i feel so disgusted. i cried when i saw the photos of those men being hanged. it is so baffling to me that humans would treat other HUMANS like such objects to be tested on, beaten, killed, chased, lynched....and all for what??? the states scare me
you only get this behavior in the deep south and in isolated incidents. racism will never be totally eradicated, but i think most people are generally indifferent now. there IS stereotyping though. but that's about behavior that has come to be associated with the culture.
confessionsofoncer the thing is I dont think it's as isolated as you think.

What's next? Not being able to breathe?

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.
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.
@@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.

I think it’s good to have this. It makes people uncomfortable, and that’s a good thing, it shows people how messed up people can be and how you don’t become that. Racism really is disgusting. We’re all people, and some can’t accept that. It truly disturbs me, but I feel like if these museums weren’t created, people wouldn’t understand how truly awful racism is. Stop racism, seriously.
I think it's amazing that there are so many museums dedicated to the celebration of culture, ethnicity, and diversity, but at the same time museums like this one are just as important because they teach humans how not to act and what not to do.
Remember everyone, our 2nd President John Adams did not own slaves and believed it was wrong for a human being to own another human being. Not only that but our 6th President, John Quincy Adams also believed that it was wrong to own slaves. So do not buy that "oh it was acceptable back then..." argument. There were people who knew this was wrong. Our 2nd President knew that it was wrong and openly talked about it. So do not give a pass to anyone back then that owned slaves. Although it was a common norm, people of enormous political stature condemned slavery.
Not really. Alot of people back them grew up with the consent of slavery and racism and it was taught in schools and by parents. Being young and impressionable you beleive anything your parents tell you and take it to heart.

That means that people knew it was wrong or immoral but still did it simply because they could. If the POTUS openly condemned slavery, you cannot use the argument that people back then shouldnt be blamed because they didnt know it was wrong. People excuse George Washington for owning slaves because "that's what they did ba I then". Ummmm no. John Adams was good friends with Washington and its documented that they debated slavery many times together. If no one "important" spoke against it, I would give them a pass for owning slaves, but no. It was a debated topic and owning slaves was a choice. Just like John Adams CHOSE not to own slaves, Washington CHOSE to own slaves.
@@ebonimom6964 Everyone knew it was wrong. Some people just ignored the voice in their head or were turned into psychopaths by the institution itself while they were growing up. How many times can you go to the town lynching, watch a man be flogged or watch as a mothers children are ripped away before your brain subconsciously starts to repress your sense of empathy? My guess is there was a lot, a lot of psychopaths running around back then.
The world still isn't perfect, but boy, am I grateful to be a black girl in the 21st century. Black girls my age would've been forced to have babies and marry slave owners at 16, where I'm just in high school just trying my best 🤞🏽
@Anessen They sold them for money, it’s not like they got any money anyway though, same with land and such. Can understand what you’re saying though, but I’m half black, and my grandma who is black, always says what this person says too, not because they are mad at their ancestors, but because she is glad to live in this era instead.
@Eric Pope It is much more commonplace than you'd probably believe. Half of my family are closeted racists. My dad acts friendly to minorities in public, but the truth comes out with alcohol or around family. I was once involved in a group text where he joked about "shooting a black guy in the throat 100 times until he chokes blood if he touches my daughter". People are so good at hiding their true feelings, you'd honestly be surprised how racist your everyday American is. Not to mention racist attitudes we may subconsciously hold, which is why so many cops pull over black men for no reason and shoot them unarmed... they may not be outwardly racist but their prejudice is causing them to act differently around black people because they subconsciously believe they're more dangerous than white people. Not all cops, obviously, but a good amount given the level of police brutality that's come to light recently.

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? 🙄

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

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.

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.

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.
@@LeratoM33711 Yeah. It getting worst by the day.
Remember, No Republican.
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.
Fun fact: this museum has stuck around longer than the confederacy did.

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
This is amazing. He turned these pieces into something good in a way to learn about the past mistakes and how evil it really was. I would love to visit someday im sure it’ll make me feel upset but happy that we don’t live in those times.
Go ahead and call me Danny Downer, but I don't really think we are any less evil today (as a whole) than we were in "those times." We've only gotten better at masking and keeping those thoughts to ourselves for fear of being cancelled or, even worse, beaten to death or hung for being a racist...which I guess is the worst thing a person can be. God forbid we express any disgust at people bringing children into a strip club while dysphoric men dressed as women strut around in scant attire with neon signs on the wall that say, "It won't lick itself!" as elementary school age kids stuff five dollar bills into some drag queen's g-string.
this ain't a mistake, you only make a mistake once.... but millions of times over is purposeful... they went out of their way to perpetuate it. took the kids, put it in the papers, took body parts as souvenirs, sent granny a postcard. citizens actively participated in it. I think you and the people who liked this are missing the meaning of mistake.
This is the best thing to do with shameful memorabilia. I understand the urge to destroy it, but preserving it is better because it's an honest depiction of the thoughts people had in the past and can teach us to be better.
Oh wow, hi, I know you!! Also I totally agree. This is proof that racists can't erase what happened, no matter how hard they try to minimize it.
Agreed. We should preserve it forever and laugh at it....
As a history buff, I am entirely in favor of preserving artifacts like these. They serve as a tool to help us learn from the past to act better in the present.
You can just drop the "had in the past" part and just change it to "have" cuz in over 60 years things haven't gotten better.

Yeh i agree. there should be a museum which shows victims of bullying too so we can stop bullying forever. but as you know we can't change peoples personality. if someone is behaving poorly to others its bcuz their parents haven't taught them how to behave in front of other. its not nobodys others fault but their parents.

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.

Remember everyone, our 2nd President John Adams did not own slaves and believed it was wrong for a human being to own another human being. Not only that but our 6th President, John Quincy Adams also believed that it was wrong to own slaves. So do not buy that "oh it was acceptable back then..." argument. There were people who knew this was wrong. Our 2nd President knew that it was wrong and openly talked about it. So do not give a pass to anyone back then that owned slaves. Although it was a common norm, people of enormous political stature condemned slavery.

I'm not saying that people werent drilled it. I'm saying that there were many people back then that knew it was wrong and condemned it.

People excuse George Washington for owning slaves because "that's what they did ba I then". Ummmm no. John Adams was good friends with Washington and its documented that they debated slavery many times together.
If no one "important" spoke against it, I would give them a pass for owning slaves, but no. It was a debated topic and owning slaves was a choice. Just like John Adams CHOSE not to own slaves, Washington CHOSE to own slaves.

@Eric Pope It is much more commonplace than you'd probably believe. Half of my family are closeted racists. My dad acts friendly to minorities in public, but the truth comes out with alcohol or around family. I was once involved in a group text where he joked about "shooting a black guy in the throat 100 times until he chokes blood if he touches my daughter". People are so good at hiding their true feelings, you'd honestly be surprised how racist your everyday American is. Not to mention racist attitudes we may subconsciously hold, which is why so many cops pull over black men for no reason and shoot them unarmed... they may not be outwardly racist but their prejudice is causing them to act differently around black people because they subconsciously believe they're more dangerous than white people. Not all cops, obviously, but a good amount given the level of police brutality that's come to light recently.

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!"
