Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Bombing

[tlc496]

If spike lee ever made a movie about this not a documentary these are the people i think could play the girls if they were young in 1997 Erykah Badu as Addie Mae Collins Nicki MInaj as Carole Robertson Monica as Cynthia Wesley and Zelda Harris or Aaliyah as Denise Mcnair

[TeganKimi]

I believe in death row and I believe anyone that committed such an act should die and burn in hell. Here is the problem with that. It is the justice system. It was only In May 2002 the 71 year old Bobby Cherry was convicted of the murder of Denise McNair, Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley(Yes they actually had names!) and was sentenced to life in prison.Which was 2 years. He died November 18, 2004. Not nearly soon enough.

[4mstwinkie]

i just wan to cry for these girls and this world we need peace.

[heartlessvietboy]

This is very good music. I am touched. 

[love66487]

ppl back then didnt want black people to go to there skool there was a special sunday event there there they put the bomb in there are it exploded killing those four little girls

[Vegheadsrock]

@love66487 Yeah but it looks like you never did go to skool.

[999aliman]

almost done wit da book, i was freaked out bout the bombing lol, i was confused if Joetta was dead or alive cuz she walked in da house, i was like wtf?!?!

[mparcher1]

White conservatives have been shooting people and blowing things up for a long time. Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy and Martin Luther King. The conservatives are worried about the Muslims? They all should look in the mirror. White conservatives have been retarding the growth of America forever!

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

@mparcher1 HELL YES!!! and then they tell me I'm supposed to be afraid of Osama Bin Laden?!?! Bullshit on that. I worry about the Jihad Jane's and Timothy McVeigh's in THIS country not the long beard guy who resembles the KKK in clothing globetrotting with Carmen Sandiego because no one can seem to find his ass.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

ANC = BLACK terrorists

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

I am ashamed of my white race when I see this.

I was in Birmingham in the 1970's.

There was still racial hatred.

The KKK was around.

I said "To hell with them."

Take a stand.

Rise up against the Klan.

They are still around, even though they are a laughingstock.

I am,

[KiKiRox95]

i am in the middle of readin this book in my lal class

[queenblanche]

I can't believe that you're serious. If indeed you are, then you must be one pitiful excuse for a human being.

[angelgurl1261]

omg!!im readn dat book now!!!

[coreydude45]

this was in a book i read called the watsons go to birmingham 1963

[mykelya]

yea we read that book in school too

[jlawson97]

@coreydude45 Yea, i'm reading that book too.

[supergirlangela]

there's a move about this cant remember what its name?

[johnnycadeluver101]

@tehhkustrnoob omggu read that  book?!

[20057333]

im trying to look for spike lee's documentary on youtube....is it here?

[suskabob]

I don't think they would allow it to be on youtube. Maybe try looking for it at the library?

[shonndale84]

i watched spike lee's documentary about the four little girls. i cried through out the whole documentary. The most gruesome part was looking at their morgue pictures

[shamantrainer]

black people are dumb lol.

[jtae44]

You need a life and need to understand that you made yourself look dumb just for saying black people are dumb. You have proved how IGNORANT you are... God will handle you.

[dontworryaboutit2110]

Yeah like your mother was dumb for spreading her legs. Take your crap someplace else!!!

[newgurl001]

@shamantrainer

your ignorant

[roygallegos2009]

i went to visit this place on july 23... it waz really cool... they explained everything to us... it waz really tragic...

[MBOYA22]

We must realize that those who killed these girls were proud of what they did, PROUD. Condelezza Rice grew up with these girls and was just blocks away when they were murdered in that church. She even spoke of hearing the explosion but never not once did she fight for our cause. She even joined Satan in the white house.

[Vegheadsrock]

@MBOYA22 NOW WAIT A MINUTE! I AGREE THAT THIS IS AN AWFUL THING THAT HAPPENED TO THESE KIDS AND THANK GOD FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT BUT THAT CONDELEZZA JOINED THE HOUSE OF "SATAN"???? HAVE YOU EVER HEARED OF THE OBAMAS? DID THEY TOO JOIN THE HOUSE OF SATAN? THE PEOPLE OF THE PAST ARE DEAD. THE IGNORANCE OF THE JIM CROWE LAWS ARE MINISCULE. MOVE ON.

[MBOYA22]

@Vegheadsrock I refuse to Debate with you on this matter or any other YouTube Ganster. I have my opinion and you have yours.

[DreamsCumTrue469]

@MBOYA22 Yep, I'd trade Rice for any of the 4 we lost in a heartbeat.

[laveethenextsinger]

SOOOO SAD

[PympHarD]

yeah white folks got alot to pay for

[Vegheadsrock]

@PympHarD Wrong. Dead white folks got a lot to pay for a lot of dead black folks. The majority of us don't think like this anymore. Jim Crowe laws made white folks ignorant. We think it's hokey.

[ETericET]

The 4 girls walk with God now. Remember all, the KKK are still here, they call themselves the NRA now.

[asiaqueen4ever]

so sad

i am researching this in school rite now

[buttercup1234555]

if i was in 1963 i would of killed the guy who did that them 4 little girls didnt do shitt im wite and i dont hate black people

who the hell would blow up a church people are krazy i wish i was not wite i wish i was all mexican im mix im wite,mexican and black

[iluvsnoopy2]

This is a great but sad video in my class we red about the bombing and i am curently doin a report on the 4 girls

[unoalice1]

I was 11 and living in California when it happened and remember hearing about it. It hurts more now than it did then

[southbobby]

They will reap what they sow.

[MzXclusyv]

I agree with Konohavillage1 and I'm black.I truly understand what he's trying to say because if this hadn't have happened schools wouldn't have been integrated at that point. It would've been an even longer,nastier struggle for that to be accomplished.Now I'm not saying God did it,but he allows certain things to happen to be a lesson in others' lives.The devil and the evil in men's hearts killed those little girls but I'm pretty sure GOD welcomed those little angels into heaven with open arms...

[ladylittles]

You are right. God allows things to happen to prove to mankind that he is incapable of guiding his own steps.

[alexisasay]

your right about that they better not drop that soap.otherwise they gonna find themselves a couple of boyfriends.if you know what i mean.

[konohavillage1]

ble

[unoalice]

This reminds me of Europe during the second world war and what the Jews went through. I cannot comprehend what these people in the USA went through in the south, their home! Love the choice of music. Marvin' song came out in the early 80's(?) loved it then, love it now.

Peace

[iluvzacefron97]

the person who bombed the church should have had death row i am srry for the families lost the 4 girls in the bombing

[alexisasay]

he should of got four life sentences one for each of his victims.

[alexisasay]

that man should have been found guilty

[dimpleset]

God did it for a purpose, it is so sad to see our children have to die

[AntonBatey]

I seriously hope you're joking with that ignorant comment.

[konohavillage1]

unfortuneately dimpleset is right, if the girls didn't die who knows how long it would take for the civil rights movement to advance like it did

[AntonBatey]

Bullshit. The Civil Rights Movement was full of steam before this happened. The sick statement you make about "god" being behind the murder of these four girls reminds me about why I'm an atheist.

[konohavillage1]

it was full of steam but the murders of the little girls really opened America's eyes

[AntonBatey]

Yeah, I'm still stuck on you thinking "god" killed these innocent girls. What a bullshit, sick comment.

[konohavillage1]

no what i said is that god had some purpose for this happening

[AntonBatey]

No, you agreed with someone who said "god did it".

Pretty sick, don't ya think?

[konohavillage1]

"for a reason" and what's sick is that i have to keep watching this very sad and depressing video about racism and hatred to talk to you and why do you care if youre an atheist btw

[AntonBatey]

Because it was a bunch of sick pieces of shit that carried out this act, and you blame god, and agree that he "did it".

[konohavillage1]

yes but who (unfortuneately) made the "sick pieces of shit"? all i am sayin is god had it happen for a reason, end of my story. i am done watching this video because it makes me feel terri

[AntonBatey]

I guess god is to blame for Hitler, Stalin, Mao, slavery, etc.

You're right...if "god" exists, He is to blame.

[terereee1555]

stop talkin bad about god he's the one that gave you life. god does exist and he isnt to balme he is to give thanks to for all the wonderful things that happend. african americans were going through a big struggle but they still praised the lord and went to church.

[MoltresBlazes95]

No, God does not make this evil happen, he just nt attempts to stop them by allowing us to sin and having us fall in darkness.

[newgurl001]

@AntonBatey

why dont you chill and maybe think about what they are saying

[Noxonex525]

I loved the book the watson's go to birmingham - 1963 and i love the author. i've been reading about the bombing lately so i decided to check out the vid.

[bgriff55]

Those terrible terrible people. I just got finished reading the Watson's go to Burmingham, which is a historical fiction book that takes place when this happened.

[joyoust]

Condi Rice lost a childhood friend in this horrid bombing...now she's killing Arab children...iran - her next target.

[juganut8]

iranians arent arabs man.

[audie83]

No they are not. The Middle East is made of of different ethnic groups-just like in the west and all around the world.

[juganut8]

true

[dirtbikeai87]

The World Need to see this

[pistonhill09]

Great video very informational!

[gemini2one]

You did a good good on this. I am teacher a played this for my class and they found it very helpful.
