Unbelievable what went on back in the dark ages,have seen some horror stories on utube that is seen to be believed,how can some people call them selves human beings and carry out such atrocities,what goes around comes around truly believe in that saying.
My father was admonished by his superiors for offering to give two negro soldiers a ride in his jeep in 1952. Since my father was raised in a community which included persons of color...he saw no fault in offering those soldiers a lift as they were tired and needed a ride. still he was reprimanded by his commanding officer. Since I was raised in a bi-racial community...I asked my Daddy why did they do that to you...the only thing my Daddy could say is change will come son...change will come

If you didnt know you should know now that the most hate groups are actually in California yes the south had prominent hipocracies, but the worst in my part of the town even though people like me on the west coast only say the south is backwards but so is california to a degree
I tend to agree. Times have indeed changed since then. Some just refuse to move past these primitive issues and want to keep milking the past for all advances it may bring today. Work for what you want, educate one's self and walk without any crutches for a true advancement. Nothing worthwhile is free. Achieve your goals by earning the benefits that come with true advancement.
This guy narrating sounds like he is clued in but why would anyone with a brain join that evil institution that represents the WASP oppressors as they lay waste to the planet? Don't the victims of amerika's racism at home see what the beast is doing in Palestine and the rest of its terror zones? The US Pentagon Kill machine & the corpocratic militarism that passes for "democracy" is at the heart of all that is evil in ameriKa. Poverty & lack of jobs is no excuse for a butcher's uniform!
oh ummm... i just posted a comment that was directed as a reply to that mistaken comment ignore it. oh well i agree with you. they need to do something that is original. like oh... kill themselves. after all that would be a new one. then they can't be haters. but i doubt their great great grandpapi had youtube. they had racist asshole tube.
Racist may have killed his body, but his spirit will live forever in his message to MILLIONS! U hating a** chumps need to get off youtube and go do sumpN ASAP! U ain't a racist on the internet, Ur LATE GREAT GREAT GRANDPAPI wuz that already. Be original and do sumpN different!
i still cant believe that the KKK would post Holocaust on that sign at 4:20 its just insane its like they wanna be viewed like the Nazis. hell let me take that back they are unorganized cowardly useless Nazis
every racist who comments here go look at Kennedy's historic speech on civil rights and then think!!!!!!!!!! for once in your miserable lives think. use whatever part of a brain you have.
At least you have passion, ur next step is to find something beneficial to your life and humanity to put that passion behind. Ur outward hatred is a reflection of ur self-loathing. Love urself son, and you can love others.
Finally learning to take response on these attrotious actions of the past and present. We are holding ourselves and our country accountable and that is thanx to the struggles of people like Mr. and Mrs. Evers. I am truly grateful for their sacrafices. Their sacrafices are no different than those of the Kings or those of young Malcolm X. Their common goal was equality. The fact that I can't even imagine the things they have seen is a testament to their impact on history..
Outstanding comment! I agree, I also appreciate the magnitude of there dedication. Without individualities such as Medgar, today society wouldn't be where we are today! Obviously we still need stride, towards the higher plain, of equal justice and equality, for all humanity. With this justice, we can fullfill the projection, of the dream Medgar had, for our present and future existance! Be blessed....mmjaljs
today... i cried. I learned of a tormenting story that reminded me of how cruel "humanity" can be. When I saw Mr. Ever's story unfold I felt as if i was being hated personally. And to hear you tell it hurt more. Yes racism is ugly and yes it still runs deep in the south by the case loads but we are witnessing change. Not through the fact that we have a black president but in my back yard, at the supermarket, the mall, sporting events, the office. Our country is finally learning.
Took my wife(who is NOT from MS) down 49 on 6 different occassions to look at the area where JME had lived before; each stop we were approached by low-life & aggressively approached with rudeness.
MY wife is NOT WHITE; I am NOT 100% WHITE; what exactly is your problem TODAY, black Mississippi?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
negroes never learn...they are all the same... uncivlized, rude, profane, unhygenic... the list goes on. they are so repulsive than any human of refinement would cringe at their dirty black demeanor.
We have been lead to believe that things can only BE that way and cannot be changed. The mind will accept this because its the way it has been taught to accept things. But it can realize that things can always be better (for humanity as a whole) . We were not there in those times, and I refuse to compare him to Martin Luther King Jr. Everyone has to deal with the hand dealt to them. I take my hat off to Medgar Evers and all those who are commited to the movement (which has, and can never stop).
I don't know who you are referring to.Who is Dick? DR Scott should be looked upon as a hero, but that doesnt mean Mr Evers wasn't one. The NAACP didn't want Evers to do any work with Dr. King. There were a lot of egos/jea;ousies in the movement.
Sad, he can serve for his country and then get treated like dirt! Sad, and the same thing happens to this day, I hear people making racial comments still.
What does it matter what they "made" him. All that matters is the impact of what he did in your life. I feel an impact from what I am told he did. I dont care about how popular he was. If what I was told was true it is amazing. The convictions that were held in a time such as that is amazing. The fearlessness that was maintained points to something probably language cannot even explain. So arguing over whether he is or should not be a celebrity I feel is not the point...
"All that matters is the impact of what he did in your life. I feel an impact from what I am told he did. I dont care about how popular he was."
are u serious?
"So arguing over whether he is or should not be a celebrity I feel is not the point..."
the man gave his life for the benefit of others and u don't think his work being recognized is important? you say u feel an impact....shouldn't others be able to feel the same thing? do u really not see how his legacy can benefit people?
100% serious. In the end all that matters is how it impacts you...what does he compell you to do NOW?
I never said he shouldnt be recognized. That statement was more directed to people who wanted to defame him because in their eyes he wasn't the "perfect" martyr. What good does the bickering about it do?
Treating people that have similar anatomical make up like everybody like dogs aint cool at all! But the meek shall inherit the Earth that's so called black people!
the "meek" see beyond, race, class, and whatever categorical label you want to call it...Medgar Evars was carrying the torch...that torch does not care about race, or any other categories, it is freedom itself.
Things always change, those in power would not like to see it change IF it affects them in a way they don't like it. So they will try whatever it takes to prevent that, but if they can look beyond themselves and see humanity not apart from them, then maybe they can see that change is not a "problem" but an inevitable solution to the stench of old decaying systems that have far outworn their purpose...
it's happening in Norway where I live - but in the 21 century they know how to do it. i hope things change soon to a more equal social system. it is not.
STOP THIS! I am a young woman born and raised in Mississippi, and I can't stand it when no one sees the truth. RACE is a false category established to promote superiority of one group of people.
Are we really going to come to this? Years of pain and suffering have turned into people believing this propaganda. We are one people, we are united, we are dealing with the same problems in every category! My middle class is like your middle class. The same haves and have nots. Come on, people.
Thank you for replying, but I was more in reference to the comments made by superwhite90210 and alien362002. I like the project, but can't stand to see hurtful racial comments about Medgar Evers or any population of people.
@chukie93 ok your ignorant. this young man is engaged in a learning activity that recreates history and some the things we had to endure. Its history!!! And in order to create a furture for our youth we must encourage then to learn and embrace their past. Good and Bad.
@alicouey Uh, how could this death have "happened to be because of race" if - as you claim - RACE is a false category (or, to put in it the false words of other members of the extreme left 'race does not exist'). This is obviously not true. Until we can learn to deal with reality, we can't really even begin to discuss this subject, can we?
Yeah all you non-black people out there seem to get mad when your reminded of how evil your ancestors were i read the posts.,know its not your faults..true but you do need to understand what line of people you come from,this is your hateful heritage,But..hey well all be judged one day,God above knows no color.
@alicouey Unfortunately, as a white male, I know the only way forward is back... back through the history such as this terrible incident that instructs me (and hopefully others) how things became as they are. There is no "STOP THIS!" available. We are not yet one people. What has happened since President Obama was elected illustrates that fact all too thoroughly, all too sadly. We have different names for things now... not racial categories any more but things like "socialist" or "Kenyan." Sad.
Mr.Evers body was take from the ground 30yrs later for a autopsy,when the corner open the casket,The corner stated Evers body looked as though it had just been place in the casket...GOD is Lives
the sick fuck who killed medgar wanted to eradicate medgar evers and undermine the fight for equal rights. instead, he immortalized medgar and helped bring the civil rights fight to a tipping point. i wonder how he feels about that, and how he, as a rabit racist, feels about forever being in the shadow, a mere footnote, in the life of a black man.
Well, Byron De La BITCHWith (the Asshole who murdered Medgar) will have to take it up with God because he died back in January 2001. He was in jail for about 6 years at this time. In jail since 1994.
i dont mean any disrespect at all so please dont take it that way but was he the same guy who was exhumed on unsolved mysteries and his body looked exactly the same as it did some 20-25 years later ? i believe that may have been the pic at :26 . i just remember watching something about that as a kid.
