This story is not at all surprising as the funny thing about history is it usually repeats itself. Can Black males or non-racist White people honestly say that this isn't still going on in today's society? Black men who are just minding their own business not committing a crime are often picked up and harassed by revenue agents(policemen), often framed and forced to serve out several years behind bars in the prison industrial complex system of oppression. That sounds eerily similar to back then.
I could go on and on, but I cite these examples of how it seems black people are viewed as a threat and ther is a sub-conscious need by some in-secure people to want to lock us up, arrest us, or "contain" us.
Police in Brooklyn arrested more than 30 young people, ages 13 to 22, as they walked toward a subway station, on their way to a wake for a teenage friend who had been murdered. No evidence has been presented that the grieving young people had misbehaved. No drugs or weapons were found. But they were accused by the police of gathering unlawfully and of disorderly conduct.
* a 6-year-old girl in Florida who was handcuffed by the police and taken off to the county jail after she threw a tantrum in her kindergarten class.
*police in Baltimore handcuffed a 7-year-old boy and took him into custody for riding a dirt bike on the sidewalk. The boy tearfully told The Baltimore Examiner, They scared me.
this is very interesting information and there still is alot of history that we do not know, but bits & pieces are slowly coming to light, which is great.
See this proves that 99% of white are genetically evil, this is another reason why you are the devils and edomites of the bible and history. God is black and all you racist whites who benefitted from slavery or any abuses to people of colour throughout the world, in hell when you get there all you did will be your punishment.
@WesleySniperS1: I'm sorry, but parts of this statement seem to indicate that you aren't really much better than a Klansman or JDLer..........please, wake up.
The ironic tone of your statement is truly saddening. How is your worldview and generalizations any different than the entire group of people you profess your hatred and dislike for? You are as ignorant and racist as they come, try to come up with a more rationale perspective, do you seriously think that blaming the common people that exist now for the past truly has any basis? Oligarchy and descendants of tycoons i get, but 99% of a population, your views are extremely unrealistic.
i read this book over a year ago, great read and after seeing this interview i realize the author is quite articulate as well....this explained that 100 year gap between the end of slavery and the start of the civil rights movement...
This explains why blacks in da south accepted the nonviolent approach to freedom in da 60s. Anytime U can get locked up for bullshit like not being able to prove u have a job.
This video does not come as a surprise to me: Anything has and can happen in his country. Hence lies the problem: Slavery is America's original sin. Racism remains her unresolved dilemma. This country was built on slavery, greed, brutality, etc.
My father grew up in the south under the sharecropping system, and said WWII did alot economically for many people, even though war is a awful way to improve the economy.
Thrown, I echo your sentiment; however, the more I learn about American history, the more GROTESQUE history seems. You could not have sounded a truer note.
