I’ve seen that episode, & I also remember hearing that in 1970, Mississippi once banned Sesame Street because of its multiracial cast, & what the Mississippi court said about Big Bird sure did bother me, I always want to be there for Big Bird whenever he feels sad, & I sure don’t want anybody to hurt Big Bird’s feelings.
Eishwnhower was a great president he knew he had the authority to enforce federal law and the supreme court. And did that in little rock. He did what the constitution demanded and did not over step it. Very great and principled man. The constituion allows progress and that is a prime example of it. Sadley most presidents today feel that they are not bound by the constituion.

It's crazy how recent this all was. It was only 50 to 60 some years ago and that's basically nothing in the whole history of the world. I'm happy that at least some of the issues were solved but we still have a long way to go and we've only climbed part way up the ladder of our world but it leans towards justice indeed despite many trying to pull it towards injustice
Thank you for covering the post 60s events and figures. So many other videos on Civil Rights end with Civil Rights Act, maybe a brief mention of Clinton and Reagan's policies and the Obama Presidency. History is not a series of linear events occurring on a timeline, and Civil Rights like so many other things is an ongoing issue. What we've seen these past few years is nothing new, but rather is the culmination of hundreds of years of fighting tooth and nail for every inch. The fight for Civil Rights is not in the past. It's happening right now, all around us.

Some people these days say Dr king was wrong to those I say: Racial progress can not work with violence or with hate of others but with love and kindness and peace.
As a Black American, I agree with you, but I say also that it's a bit more nuanced than that: nonviolent civil disobedience cannot work in a vacuum. Nonviolent activists need leverage in the form of allies who are willing to use violence to defend themselves against state violence. Dr. King understood that if the white American establishment refused to deal with him, the only alternative for them would be to deal with the likes of Stokely Carmichael or Malcolm X. Couple that reality with the optical inconvenience for the state that was their assaulting explicitly pacifistic individuals publicly, and only then do you have a movement whose success is inevitable. The threat of violence is unfortunately necessary to gain the power to make change.

This video was great and I appreciate the detail and effort put into it, but I can’t help but notice that Jewish support for the civil rights movement was not mentioned. Whether this was purely a minor oversight, purposeful admission, or something else I can’t tell, but I think it should just be mentioned. In many marches, and I’m pretty sure one of them being the Memphis, many Jewish people stood in support of those marching. There are many very compelling videos, articles, and books on this subject, and I couldn’t help but mention it.
If states rights are only for oppressing certain groups then maybe states shouldn't have rights. At least not until they learn to behave. I'm gonna piss some people off, aren't I?
At least Peter Norman - who was vilified when he got home to Australia for giving his gloves to Carlos and Smith at the Olympics - gets a word bubble in this video
Here come my favorite parts: Sesame Street, the SWAT team & the 1992 LA Riots & the Black Lives Matter movement. The 1965 Watts Riots & the shootouts between police & the Black Panther Party caused the LAPD to form the first SWAT team in 1967, & riots broke out in LA again in 1992 & 2020.

In America people took down a Norwegian flag 🇳🇴 from a restaurant calling it racist cause it looked to much like the confederate flag. Us Americans are pretty smart lol 😆
Fab video John, as ever. Although, somewhat harsh on Peter Norman on the 1968 Black Power salute by Tommie Smith and John Carlos. Norman wore a badge from the Olympic Project for Human Rights in solidarity with Smith and Carlos, and it was Norman who suggested they split up their pair of gloves, which is why they have opposite fists raised. He was a good man and a strong ally.
Just to add that Peter Norman led a sad life after this and was a pariah in Australia for standing up for his beliefs. Smith and Carlos were pallbearers at Norman's funeral in 2006.
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan Agreed, and definitely true that his silver medal is not exactly what is remembered by history 😋 Don't think many know his story is all.
I appreciate how well you do these videos, very knowledgeable and informative. My young sons learned a lot while listening. One recommendation, I don't think you should change your voice and try to mimic the accents. Particularly, Martin Luther's. It just doesn't sound well trying to mimic a black civil rights leader while educating on civil rights.
This kind of reminds of a small quote from a book called the last church which it says that where there differences we as humans will find them and differences be they real or imagined will only breed inhumanity and cruelty but that people through love and generations will over time forget ancient squabbles and intermarry and piece by piece those differences will be done away with if they are allowed too
Oh yeah, & I’ve seen the video of the 1991 Rodney King beating. Theodore Briseno, the officer with the mustache, was seen stomping on King, he didn’t hit King with a baton. Officers Laurence Powell & Timothy Wind used batons on King, & Wind also kicked King. Sgt. Stacey Koon only used a Taser, but he was accused of supervising the beating.
me my brother and grandma were talking about this and Mlk's speech at the high school we all went to my grandma told me this "I was there that day that speech inspired some of my class mates to join the movement down south" me "how was it?" my grandma "they never came back" again these were just teenage students
Correction about the "GOP stronghold" bit. First off, in 1968, the South had been split between Nixon, Hubert Humphrey, and George Wallace. Not exactly a "GOP stronghold." And not to mention that in 1976, Carter swept the South - though this may have to do with him being a Georgia native. And finally, 1992 - Clinton's win, though, again, with Carter, this had something to do with him being a Southerner (Arkansas). It was not immediate. And if Democrats really had flipped to Republican as you claimed, it's strange tactics for them to wait until Reagan came along in the 80s for them to finally make the switch.
@@CulturalMarxist4985 so Reagan left a party because it started supporting civil rights…to join a party that had been supporting civil rights for much longer?
@@imperators_8700 Reagan opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, he campaigned for and supported the Republican candidate, Barry Goldwater, a segregationist, in the 1964 election. In addition, Reagan was an undying supporter of the Apartheid regime in South Africa, his excessive privatisation of public services and tax cuts for big corporations significantly contributed to economic inequality between black and white Americans, and his administration's 'War on Drugs' excessively targeted and over-policed black communities. But it's not surprising that he left the Democratic Party when they were supporting civil rights?
@@CulturalMarxist4985 goldwater was not a segregationist what the hell? He was a member of the NAACP and led desegregation efforts in his home state of Arizona AND he voted in favor of the ‘57 and ‘60 civil rights acts. He was certainly not a racist. He opposed the civil rights act because he believed it gave the federal government too much power and oppressed private property rights. I’m not saying I agree with the position but what I agree even less with is accusing someone of something of which they are not guilty. As for Reagan, he left the democratic party in 1962 while the democrats added civil rights to their platform in the 40s. So its not true that he left the party the moment they started supporting civil rights.
@@imperators_8700 'Goldwater was not a segregationist'. Goldwater opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which put a federal ban on segregation across the US, but he 'was not a segregationist'? Terrific logic! LOL. Seriously though. You're avoiding the point. Ronald Reagan supported the anti-civil rights candidate in the 1964 election, and he had a long history of fighting movements for civil rights. That being the case, it's not very clear why you're surprised that he abandoned the Democratic Party when they became the pro-civil rights party.
Then you probably know King moved himself from the Memphis Holiday Inn to the Lorraine Motel because staying at the Holiday Inn was "bad optics," as we would say nowadays.
What's interesting, Malcolm X became an advocate to capitalism. He stated the difference between a white liberal and a white conservative is the white liberal is more deceitful than the white conservative.
@@CulturalMarxist4985 “I truly believe that if ever a state social agency destroyed a family, it destroyed ours. We wanted and tried to stay together. Our home didn’t have to be destroyed. But the Welfare, the courts, and their doctor, gave us the one-two-three punch.” - Malcolm X
@@CulturalMarxist4985 “Instead of the Negro leaders having the black man begging for a chance to dine in white restaurants, the Negro leader should be showing the black man how to do something to strengthen his own economy, to give himself an independent economy or to provide job opportunities for himself, not begging for a cup of coffee in a white man’s restaurant.” - Malcolm X
@@michaellynes3540 "You can't operate a capitalistic system unless you are vulturistic...You show me a capitalist and I'll show you a bloodsucker." -Malcolm X. It's almost as if people's beliefs evolve over time. LOL. The quote I gave was from 1964, a year prior to Malcolm's death. The first quote you gave was from 1963 and the second was a comment on the nonviolent civil rights sit-ins of the early sixties. Whatever he meant in that statement, it's indisputable that in his later years, he became very critical of the capitalist system.
Well, he mentioned Delaware. Not in the best light but I've never heard of the Ghana Finance Minister even visiting so it was certainly a surprise. Goes to show how far we need to go I guess.
The real reason rosa parks was chosen as the spokesperson for the Civil rights instead of claudette was because claudette was pregnant out of wedlock and that would harm the movement's reputation
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan yeah, however it does kind of beg the question, if lighter skinned leaders were favored as the face of the Civil rights movement, how come Martin Luther King and Malcolm x are best remembered as the two iconic heads of it? Those guy were far from light skinned, just seems like a bit of contradiction
The Nation Of Islam was wrong with their movement. In Islam it is said in the Quran: “There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, and no superiority of a white person over a black person or of a black person over a white person, except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness.” We were created God and will return to him. Malclom X saw this happening when he went to Makkah to preform Hajj. He saw white and black men and women side by side.No attacked each other nor call names.
If there ever was an honest and decent civil rights leader, it would be Martin Luther King Junior. Also, by the way, could you make a video on anti-Catholicism in American history? Just as America has a history of slavery and segregation of black people, they also have a history for hating on Catholics. Thank you Mr. Ruddy 😉👍
Why are we turning back to not learning from mistakes of the 60s Can't we all just get along my god don't you see what happened in the 60s people were dying and people are dying With you people

@@michaellynes3540 "You can't operate a capitalistic system unless you are vulturistic...You show me a capitalist and I'll show you a bloodsucker."
-Malcolm X.
It's almost as if people's beliefs evolve over time. LOL. The quote I gave was from 1964, a year prior to Malcolm's death. The first quote you gave was from 1963 and the second was a comment on the nonviolent civil rights sit-ins of the early sixties. Whatever he meant in that statement, it's indisputable that in his later years, he became very critical of the capitalist system.
I feel like MLK’s last speech was “ I’m gonna die, but I done all I wanted “

Well, he mentioned Delaware. Not in the best light but I've never heard of the Ghana Finance Minister even visiting so it was certainly a surprise. Goes to show how far we need to go I guess.
4:49 small detail, but Eisenhower did not use the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.
As John Lewis once said we will never quit never surrender and keep getting in good trouble
Virgin Malcom X
Chad Martin Luther King
Hearing Martin Luther king speak gives me chills
I like the Forest Gump refrence
Truly a fantastic video.
There's a 30 for 30 episode from ESPN that tackles racism EXTREMELY hard. I would recommend it. I think the title is Ol' Miss.
11:15 ma’am you dropped your book ma’am
11:14
A wild Forrest Gump appeared!
Bruh a lot of Robert Kennedy moment
Hard not to tear up to some of this information.
17:35 I didn't know Blade was a Black Panther!
11:32 his killer was aquitted but in 1994 he was found guilty
Quite the Dee-Lay, wasn't it. 😀
@@stephenwright8824 yes but it still happened
Amazing video!
Love this !!!
Amazing video
Dr. King is a figure he brought the cilvil rights movement to the forefront
So that's where President Snow's quote was based off of 9:21
Oh wow, really? I haven’t seen Hunger Games in years.
The real reason rosa parks was chosen as the spokesperson for the Civil rights instead of claudette was because claudette was pregnant out of wedlock and that would harm the movement's reputation
Another factor too. You can see she’s pregnant in the picture when I’m talking about that.
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan yeah, however it does kind of beg the question, if lighter skinned leaders were favored as the face of the Civil rights movement, how come Martin Luther King and Malcolm x are best remembered as the two iconic heads of it? Those guy were far from light skinned, just seems like a bit of contradiction
The Nation Of Islam was wrong with their movement.
In Islam it is said in the Quran:
“There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, and no superiority of a white person over a black person or of a black person over a white person, except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness.”
We were created God and will return to him.
Malclom X saw this happening when he went to Makkah to preform Hajj.
He saw white and black men and women side by side.No attacked each other nor call names.
11:13 that, made me happy.
Damn pretty good southern accent.
If there ever was an honest and decent civil rights leader, it would be Martin Luther King Junior. Also, by the way, could you make a video on anti-Catholicism in American history? Just as America has a history of slavery and segregation of black people, they also have a history for hating on Catholics. Thank you Mr. Ruddy 😉👍
Why are we turning back to not learning from mistakes of the 60s Can't we all just get along my god don't you see what happened in the 60s people were dying and people are dying With you people
21:17 RIP Dr. King.
Carolyn Bryant lied
Much respect to you for covering this channel. It was my heart as a Black Man in America to see this even though we've been saying it for generations.
11:13 Lol i see that
Nice refrence to forrest gump
I understand the private prisons thing, and they are bad. But private prisons have no effect on crimes committed and conviction of crimes.
Poverty and overpolicing does though
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan maybe so.
Trend maybe. Excuse it is not.
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan Yeah no duh, policing crime means people actually get arrested
If you want unlimited funds for patreon you only need one man. A certain James… James bissonette.
I have to say that Selma is not as represented as it should be in this video
Listen guys, if we send all our racists to Australia, then the economies of scale from concentrating all our racists in one spot will make racism way cheaper
Honestly, don't send any more racists to Australia please and thank you - that's plenty big enough a problem as is here.
@@smifffygames yeah but racism will be way cheaper since economies of scale
