@@MCfact1827 Morally? never a time. It shouldn't exist. people are people. Societally? It takes literally half a minute of google searching to realize that yes, there was definitely a time where racism 'was the norm' and accepted in america. There's definitely 'attitude of the times' when back then people were literally raised to see black people as 'bad' to the point of being ushered away or sat in completely different spots even as kids. It becomes 'attitude of the times' when the civil rights act wasn't put in place until 1964. It becomes 'attitude of the times' when prior to that, there was Jim Crow laws that could segregate anything from bathrooms to water fountains. It becomes 'attitude of the times' when we still haven't ended racism in modern day cmon now.
Don't get me wrong Racism through and through is terrible and unexcuable, it makes no damn sense to treat people differently just due to something as minute as skin color or upbringings But unfortunately The general public opinion back then did NOT think that it was terrible to be racist. Now if you're racist, you actually get chastitised in most cases (especially famous people), but back then? lol, no. Maybe a small spark of controversy, or being disliked by some peers.
I started kindergarten in 1963, they were starting to integrate from all white kids to mixed, the adults had the problem, we kids didn't care, they were just more kids we thought we could play with, but we had different recess times. I remember crying when my taxi was there to pick me up, I didn't ride a school bus, my grandparents had a taxi driver for me, when I got home, I told my grandma about it, and she said, remember we all bleed red, the adults are acting worse than 2-year-old babies, I was lucky, I'm Native American but my skin is a medium tan color. All those poor kids wanted was an education and they were called names, spit at, had rotten food thrown at them, it was awful America is full of horrible red stains.
@@goodfoottoo there’s a saying never meet your heroes… for instance once I met Maria Osmond while she was headlining in “The Sound of Music” at that time she was selling her dolls on QVC. And she would sign them after the show. When meeting her it felt awkward. As if she wasn’t expecting to have any black fans Even though the dolls were black, go figure?
It's true that it wasn't uncommon for many Whites to use racist terms to describe Blacks, but Blacks did the same thing too even back then. Did you know, for example, that the C-Word was popularized by an African American Songwriter named Ernest Hogan in the 1890s when he wrote a tune entitled "All C-s look Alike to Me?" In fact some Blacks even use the C-Word in addition to the N-Word to this day, often to demean and shame other Blacks. The Rap industry has made millions off the N-Word, it still does. The N-Word-wrong then, wrong today. Wrong to use by Whites and Blacks alike.
Ok the n word here is a not what you think there's a difference between nigger and nigro one just mean black or kingly the other is not a real world also there is a land in Africa called Nigeria so when we use these words so understanding has to be there there's know such thing as a nigger that's not a word it was used because many Hebrews or african Americans lost who we was and are slave masters new this so it was just a joke to them that knew we were the the people of the book or the tribe of Israel not the people in Israel now they are ashconizis japhets people Hebrews are shem so don't complain about us using these terms because most of the time it's more accurate most of the people like Clark cable was of african decent himself and known as a rapist and a lot of them like John Wayne gary Cooper was gay or went both ways I believe most people that are racist are people that are passing for so called white because a lot a of these actors even now of some kind black ancestry you can't help that so called whites have problems carrying longterm pregnancy foren DNA of animals and diseases that will of the off spring there's not that many of them that's why they like military like groups the kkk are not who we think they are there part of the Vatican these people are part animals and human carry elian DNA fallen angel and mutation I can see why they hate us but yet they got certain oils they use to get melenation there is really know such thing as a white man because only a black man can have a black and so called white child with blue eyes there not even talking about a color of skin but a title and most so called white are dying out and there scared within a short period of time they will be comply extinct because every time they work on something to kill off us twice as many of them die there called dead skin are government really has fooled us they laugh but they don't even call themselves white and Hollywood is part of the political system these people are related you wood surprised how many of these olete people are related politicians and celebrity's its the only way to be a president movie star or royalist it's a bloodline family
Black people's racism is founded in experiences! They cannot deny you jobs, housing, education, judicial injustices, etc! We white people will destroy people for the color of their skin for no damn reasons at all! Sundown towns still exist, lynchings, job discrimination, etc. How many white people were lynched by black people? None!
By dead, they died a long time ago. Old Hollywood was a time and a place. Some of my relatives adored John Wayne, not just for his cowboy presence but also for the more wholesome westerns he gave them. They are history, but it's the kind of history one feels intrigued by.
I object to Brando being included. As a younger man he may have had the prejudices of his time, but his activism and also if you hear or read his interviews reflect that he evolved in his thinking.
Because they are not here to defend themselves or sue. Except for Frawley and Brennan most of this guys proof is "Someone said." "There were allegations" "It is said" and his ridiculous attack on Hepburn is ridiculous. Imagine, not likening Japanese after they attacked Pearl Harbor and killed 2ooo sleeping sailors. Especially when the government was putting out dehumanizing propaganda? This is far from making her unique. This is nothing but a cheap smear job.
@@josephshields2922 As someone who has books on these people and has looked at better sources, I know that Frawley was an alcoholic who was a very big baseball fan. Lucy herself even said that Frawley was a baseball fan. But most everything said in this video is false and takes it all out of context. This video, many on Old Hollywood, important events like WW2, Vietnam, the 1950's are all now made by trash channels like this one. Not only are the performers gone but so are the people who worked with them off camera, the historians who visited Europe and talked person to person with those who witnessed the tragedies of the 1940's, etc. They're all dead too. So what has replaced them is young people, or in many cases artificial intelligence which feeds off of false information. I suggest people read more books, preferably older books from decades past that are accounts of those who were actually around to see people like John Wayne, and detail the horrors of 1940's era Europe and the consequences.
Of course not , We outlawed the importation of slaves with the birth of our nation in 1776,We only fought a major War in 1861 to stop the spread of slavery. Abolished slavery and passed the 14th amendment. Ended Segregation and passed the 1964 Civil Rights law. Integrated Major league Baseball . We appointed a Black Supreme Court Justice, elected a Black President and selected a Black Female for Vice President, No changes since 1492? Have you ever read a history book? Or have you been hiding under a rock?
Jimmy Stewart grew up in Indiana, Pennsylvania not far from Pittsburgh. He is not from the state of Indiana. His racism is disappointing. These attitudes are common today. Nothing has changed. Teach systemic racism in school.
I saw a picture of Fred Astaire In black face, So it comes to no surprise, he was a big influence of Michael Jackson, If he only knew Also Judy garlord wore black face too.
I'm sure Michael Jackson was inspired by both performers. But for this video to be argumentative and take on this Liberal/Left ideology is utterly pointless. John Wayne's comments in that magazine in 1971 were very public, but apart from that, I fail to see how much of this video shows any actual evidence that these Old Hollywood people were indeed racist. It's just trying to pick an argument, with no sources to back it up.
Jimmy Stewart was from Indiana, PA, not the state of Indiana. There's tons of mistakes in this video. Also, Sacheen Littlefeather, supposedly the "indigenous activist" sent by Brando to explain why he refused to show up to accept the Academy Award was really some woman of Mexican decent.
Clark Gable may not have spoken out more because he was afraid the Hollywood movie makers may not use him anymore. People are complicated. William Frawley was a good actor. So was Walter Brennan. William Frawley and Vivian Vance didn't get along. He was quite a few years older than Vance. Not a big fan of Disney. John Wayne also a great actor. James Stewart is another great actor. What you say about Vivian Leigh is not true. Vivian Leigh also gave Sammy Davis Jr. a Star of David and told him to hang onto it while he was being wheeled into the hospital. From what I have read they had to pry that out of Mr. Davis' hand and led to his conversion to the Jewish religion. Vivian Leigh could not have been prejudiced. In fact, what you say about most of these actors just reflected what society in general was like during their time. You are judging people that lived in the early twentieth century by values held in 2024. The two don't mix.
We need to grow up all over again. The “N” word was in common everyday usage. I’ve heard these people actually use the word among themselves casually and amicably although not for many years. As a child and a northerner I was told it was improper and never used it though they used it in front of me. 21st century morality is not the final we need to put things into relevant historical contexts. John Wayne, who I find narrow and in military roles inaccurate and ridiculous and noted in my training as such in the Vietnam military era, still needs to be judged in the context of the world he grew up in
@ of course it isn’t right, all I am saying is we need to understand the historical context and hopefully grow from there not throw out the magnificent babies with the bathwater and be very watchful of our own biases. Many people become far too complaisant about their own beliefs. Freedom and the exercise of it is a big, constant job, if we were perfect there would be no reason to exist
@ I’m sorry. I just don’t see it that way regardless if he was or not. There were others who came up during that period and yet didn’t have the views of JW so that’s BS to me.
Distain for any whole group of people is unthinkable. Do better, truth be told. As youngster I would have been crushed to have known that Jimmy Stewart, “the every man “ would have held my race against me. I’m sure it would have been like finding out there’s no Santa Claus.💔
Is this AI generated, the narration as well? The way he pronounced Desi Arnaz's name. Spelling Katherine Hepburn's name with a "C". Taking out of context words spoken during wartime was unfair to Hepburn, the Japanese Army was little better than barbarians out of the Dark Ages. They raided surrounding towns around their bases in occupied areas for women, and after formation, the troops lined up by the scores to rape the women to death, or if almost dead they threw them into cesspools while alive, to laughter, this was repeated over and over in China. They ate captured Allied soldiers in isolated areas, with no refrigeration they instead carved slices of "meat" off them, for days till the victim eventually died. The Aussie soldiers they did that to, they referred to as "Aussie lamb or mutton", they were meat on the hoof. After capturing Major Thomas Smothers - father of the Smothers Brothers - he was put in the Bataan Death March, later a slave laborer in Japan, till they eventually murdered him. Any American alive in WW 2 would disdain Japan and it's people, only the Nazis were more ruthless in waging war. For no reason at all, they purposely starved to death over a million and a half Vietnamese in French Indo-China, because they could. A case could be made the allegations against Hepburn were unfair and skimpy on the details. Anyone reading this now, if they or their family were transported back to 1941 and then engaged in fighting Japan(after the sneak attack at Pearl Harbor) perhaps having a family member captured and murdered like Major Smothers, would not have anything good to say about a ruthless war time enemy either. "Timeless Vintage", please consider removing your unfair allegations against Hepburn.
Desi Arnaz was a Cuban who was highly grateful and humble for what America gave him. Katherine Hepburn was an exceptional performer who delighted millions for her work with Spencer Tracy. Of everything I read about Desi, Katherine, Spencer and countless others, I have not heard one account of them ever being called or considered racist. There were many more of these Old Hollywood people who pushed for others of all types, creeds and so forth to be accepted as people.

I'm Black and still like Disney , Walter Brennan , John Wayne , and William Frawley , but most definitely Clark Gable !!!.
This is too complicated a topic to explain so each generation from the 1950’s (when I was born to now, 2024). Too much has changed (progressed) in 68 years. But I’ve seen open racism accepted in my family to gradually turn 180 degrees to within 30-40 years to become as far as I can see a progressive, liberal family , family wide. For example, in 1964 we were a solid GOLDWATER Republican block, to becoming a solid Democratic Clinton block. And have never looked back. And I am DAMN proud of that change. Our country has truly entered the darkest period in its 250+ period history. If MAGA zombies don’t snap out of their brain wash our democracy is gone. I don’t want to even think what shit is going to happen to “liberals “ like me and my family. I’m not an over the top Christian but I pray that - God please help these MAGA fanatics calm the Fuck down and drink the Jim Jones cool-aid.
What I see with this is being WOKE ! Trying to cancel long dead legends because of what they might have said or thought. People can think what they want, doesn’t matter. I will forever admire these people for what they gave the world.
You should research how some channels are just 'revisionist' channels, and others are just AI that make false information. I hear claims that Walt Disney was racist but I have not found any real evidence that he was ever racist, just that he wanted to be the captain of his own ship and run it the way he felt was necessary. Leftist media constantly tries to paint him as so not so great person, despite being dead for almost 60 years. Yes, this channel is woke. It was made to have you thinking the old days were not so great, when personal stories of those who lived in those times would tell you quite the contrary.
@@davidlafleche1142 This is 100% true. In regards to Clark Gable, those who were black like Hattie moved to the northern cities and later out west because they were offered opportunities that were not available in the American South. Southern Democrats enforced segregation and they were and are the true racists.
They would all be canceled. John Wayne wouldn't last a week in today's Hollywood. During his time, many of the old studio heads were Republicans, and shared the same political views that he did.
Nothing surprises me no more. I mean there were racist actors and actresses back then and even today in Hollywood. Since all of them are dead, the ones that are in the video it is between them and Jesus Christ now.
Clack gable? Yes. I thought it was common knowledge? He was an activist against discrimination against black people. This has always been well-known. These posts are just out here to stir the pot and divide our country 😒
In every endeavor, be it literature, movies, television, music, business, science politics , you name it, there were and are many flawed , less than perfect individuals.
2:20 can’t erase what was done in the past that he was trying to make up for? Good grief. Did you life during this time? NO. Perhaps doing what he did was a big deal.
It takes everything out of context. Mis-pronouncing Desi Arnaz's name (nothing I read about him, his autobiography or Lucy's autobiography ever indicated he was a racist), false information on Katherine Hepburn, nothing here is organic.
When I was at Princeton, racism and sexism were standard...one can only imagine Stewart's era...they admitted women my first term, 69...women had their own dorm, locked entries. But the bathrooms were becoming coed a few years later...very different now. Oddly, Hepburn poisoned dozens of Japanese officers in "Dragon Seed"... Three or more of these actors were bi...and Hoover was very gay...always cognitively dissonant, to hear of how they failed to understand bigotry. Of course, as with Roy Cohn, many closeted gays, politicians especially, chose to portray bigotry about homosexuality, or, like Hoover, to blackmail and blackball them, blackening their legacies, to darkly underline the centrality of colored lines and color lines. A peculiar form of closetry, this chameleoning. Thank you. But your narration is very repetitive. Get an editor, perhaps.
This is so stupid. Those were different times . Wrong as it was, that was the social norm. Doesn’t and shouldn’t take away from the professionalism they projected in their movies. Bc there are racists in Hollywood even now.
No. Just because John Wayne said some things doesn't mean his films shouldn't be watched by many. This is again, taking things out of context which this video is doing and it's clear as day this person or AI never bothered to read any actual books on these old performers. It's false information masquerading as facts and trivia to get a rise out of people.
Gable merely reflected attitudes of the times. It is believed Gable had some Negro ancestry and he often went to bat for blacks, including co-workers. When Hattie McDaniel ( whom he adored) was not invited to the Atlanta premiere of GONE WITH THE WIND, he threatened to miss it. She talked him out of it.
There is never a time when racism is acceptable. No such thing as product of the times or attitude of the times.

Merely reflected the attitude of the times, what time it had to be to be decent.

Of everything I read about Desi, Katherine, Spencer and countless others, I have not heard one account of them ever being called or considered racist. There were many more of these Old Hollywood people who pushed for others of all types, creeds and so forth to be accepted as people.
I'm Black and still like Disney , Walter Brennan , John Wayne , and William Frawley , but most definitely Clark Gable !!!.
Good for you! You are better than that attitude. Respect.
Word has it that Mr. Gable had a smattering of black blood.
I loved Uncle Remus. He always slyly got the upper had over bigots.
That is because you are stupid.
Black? Or mixed race who identify as black?
This is too complicated a topic to explain so each generation from the 1950’s (when I was born to now, 2024). Too much has changed (progressed) in 68 years. But I’ve seen open racism accepted in my family to gradually turn 180 degrees to within 30-40 years to become as far as I can see a progressive, liberal family , family wide. For example, in 1964 we were a solid GOLDWATER Republican block, to becoming a solid Democratic Clinton block. And have never looked back. And I am DAMN proud of that change.
Our country has truly entered the darkest period in its 250+ period history. If MAGA zombies don’t snap out of their brain wash our democracy is gone. I don’t want to even think what shit is going to happen to “liberals “ like me and my family. I’m not an over the top Christian but I pray that - God please help these MAGA fanatics calm the Fuck down and drink the Jim Jones cool-aid.
What I see with this is being WOKE ! Trying to cancel long dead legends because of what they might have said or thought. People can think what they want, doesn’t matter. I will forever admire these people for what they gave the world.
They conveniently ignore the fact that Democrats enforced segregation.
You should research how some channels are just 'revisionist' channels, and others are just AI that make false information.
I hear claims that Walt Disney was racist but I have not found any real evidence that he was ever racist, just that he wanted to be the captain of his own ship and run it the way he felt was necessary. Leftist media constantly tries to paint him as so not so great person, despite being dead for almost 60 years.
Yes, this channel is woke. It was made to have you thinking the old days were not so great, when personal stories of those who lived in those times would tell you quite the contrary.
I tried to make a comment agreeing with your stance by YT deleted it.
@@davidlafleche1142 This is 100% true. In regards to Clark Gable, those who were black like Hattie moved to the northern cities and later out west because they were offered opportunities that were not available in the American South.
Southern Democrats enforced segregation and they were and are the true racists.
Much ado about nothing.
Most of these men were baloney smugglers...gay men!!!!!
Goes to show, talent is not indication of character.
Which automatically means that John Wayne is racist, according to the logic of some in the YT comments.
Would they be able to surpass their Racism in this day and age without consequence?
They would all be canceled. John Wayne wouldn't last a week in today's Hollywood. During his time, many of the old studio heads were Republicans, and shared the same political views that he did.
You would think they were good people..
They were
Nothing surprises me no more. I mean there were racist actors and actresses back then and even today in Hollywood. Since all of them are dead, the ones that are in the video it is between them and Jesus Christ now.
😲🤔Isn't he half "Afro-american!!??🙄🤪🤨
Clack gable? Yes. I thought it was common knowledge? He was an activist against discrimination against black people. This has always been well-known. These posts are just out here to stir the pot and divide our country 😒
It doesn't surprise me 😮😮😮
Chris Moltisanti of the Sopranos " Gary Cooper was gay?"
In every endeavor, be it literature, movies, television, music, business, science politics , you name it, there were and are many flawed , less than perfect individuals.
I believe acts are more important.
And that's what these Old Hollywood people were paid to do.
Everybody was racist back then, and every country also
NOT TRUE‼🤔
False. Do your research.
Ar-nez'
Walter Brennan racism:

Segregated bathrooms? Sounds like Minerva to me. Bring it on!!!
If I understand you correctly, you are a pathetic and disgusting person.
Sure, why not?
Some reckless mismatches of images here. Unnecessary to use other faces so nonchalantly given the ubiquity of photos of these stars!
it still is and forever will be and it not just blacks either.. look whats happening now
WHY. just WHY DO VIDEIS LIKE THIS BRING OUT THE BAD IN ACTORS AND ACTRESSES ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE NO LONGER HERE.
Because they serve as click bait.
2:20 can’t erase what was done in the past that he was trying to make up for? Good grief. Did you life during this time? NO. Perhaps doing what he did was a big deal.
This is a revisionist channel.
This AI created info is rambling and repetitious.
It takes everything out of context. Mis-pronouncing Desi Arnaz's name (nothing I read about him, his autobiography or Lucy's autobiography ever indicated he was a racist), false information on Katherine Hepburn, nothing here is organic.
When I was at Princeton, racism and sexism were standard...one can only imagine Stewart's era...they admitted women my first term, 69...women had their own dorm, locked entries. But the bathrooms were becoming coed a few years later...very different now. Oddly, Hepburn poisoned dozens of Japanese officers in "Dragon Seed"... Three or more of these actors were bi...and Hoover was very gay...always cognitively dissonant, to hear of how they failed to understand bigotry. Of course, as with Roy Cohn, many closeted gays, politicians especially, chose to portray bigotry about homosexuality, or, like Hoover, to blackmail and blackball them, blackening their legacies, to darkly underline the centrality of colored lines and color lines. A peculiar form of closetry, this chameleoning.
Thank you. But your narration is very repetitive. Get an editor, perhaps.
Maybe they don't have the same views now.. and before anyone says" their dead now " ..im talking about afterlife
These people are in hell and that's their afterlife for eternity!
What nonsense about Chaplin..and pathetic libelous against Gable. Judge on actions not contextual words
These people are in hell!
I've read that Clark Cable is part African American
I never liked John Wayne ever
I agree. I think he was a lousy actor snd how he got as far as he did in Hollywood is beyond me.
Dessie Arnawz??? Say it right.
Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha III (El tercero).
@@Juliaflo So his son is Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha IV?
Concerning a few, I've heard other things. This I consider to be BS and nothing but tabloid-style programming .
This is so stupid. Those were different times . Wrong as it was, that was the social norm. Doesn’t and shouldn’t take away from the professionalism they projected in their movies. Bc there are racists in Hollywood even now.
John Wayne being a prime example.
and there is a lot more this is just the tip of the iceberg
Oh boo hoo hoo.
Should actors who became contrite and repentant over their earlier racist views be criticized?
No. Just because John Wayne said some things doesn't mean his films shouldn't be watched by many. This is again, taking things out of context which this video is doing and it's clear as day this person or AI never bothered to read any actual books on these old performers. It's false information masquerading as facts and trivia to get a rise out of people.
None of the Old Stars were Racist! Please!
@melvinhunter6976, Surely you were being sarcastic...
@ the women on the view make the people you want to call racist, look like angels!
