Jim Crow Times

[SexyRaww]

Every time I watch a documentary on the past, it makes me always wonder why adults acted the way they did. It's beyond me how they justified in giving these people power to commit to these things. Look at the holocaust. That is just ridiculous. Those things SHOULD NOT and CANNOT happen. Period.

[98bigbutt]

There were also some types of segregated laws in the Northern US cities as well.Such as blacks or Hispanics couldn't live in white neighborhoods or buy a house in an all white neighborhoods.But it wasn't as bad as it was in the Southern US cities.Today a new type of racial discrimination that's focusing on every black and hispanic neighborhoods in every major US cities.It's called gentrification.

[EbonyNewsChannel]

@98bigbutt The word you should pay attention to in re-GENTrification is GENTILE..

[98bigbutt]

@EbonyNewsChannel,That's true. Didn't notice that.

Its inspiring to see his optimism on the whole situation. You have to respect a man like that.

[imadokieve13]

10-14 Is that Emmet Till?

[bigbaboon577]

What do you call the discrimination that occurs to this day if/when a white person makes the mistake of going into a black neighborhood?

[Luigi84289]

@bigbaboon577 Black people are foreigners I wish we could give them their own state or something.

[caira94]

no, too late...u guys brought us here bc u were to lazy (and greedy) to to do anything yourselves- we built americas economy, and died in wars for a country that dosent consider us full citizens- so be greatful,educated on the matter, and not so ignorant.

[Luigi84289]

How is it too late? Don't you want your own state your own government? Why do you try and hijack ours for you own interests? European whites defeated the british founded America have been hospitable freed you gave you equal representation. It is a white European country everything about the country is white, customs, traditions, culture language, food. Denying this is denying reality. But you want whites to deny all this with BS stories and feel guilty while we give the country away to you.

[caira94]

wow. you live in such a smal world. do u kno that African Ameicans have contributed over 45% of America popular culture through language, lifestyle, culture and dress? have u ever saif the word "cool"? do u know made that word mainstream and defined it? dizzy gillespie, an African American musician in the 1940. see u THINK we are hijackers but youd be awed to UNDERSTAND the influence african americans have had on YOUR life.u are jus uneducated u think u can speak on matters you havent STUDIED.

[empressoffrance]

@caira94 Caira- Remember, I'm hep, right on, get down, sock it to me Ok we are the most feared but the most imitated. Botox in the lips, the fro in the 70's, now false butts, tanning salons, who wants to look like Crisco, I certainly don't. I am bi-racial by the way and I enjoy both worlds and have travelled extensively but racism is so rampant in the US than in any other country Remember the S. Stuart case.ended up in a blk neighb, murdered his pregnant wife, blamed it on blks, also Liz Smith

[caira94]

your comments are barbaric, they intrigue me. give America AWAY? what do you mean by that?

[empressoffrance]

@caira94 I apologize Caira I was responding to the wrong person although I do enjoy reading your comments. Keep up the good work. 2010 and still ppl are so backwards. I truly believe if JFK,MLK, RK were all alive the US wd be a good place. After they left, the US went all the way downhill. Who was that blk woman, lived in France, entertainer. When she died they gave her a funeral worthy of royalty? Dang always forget her name.

[mollkatles]

@Luigi84289 - hey didn't we go through the south and clean you ignorant hayseeds out? Are we going to need to resurrect our boy, the great American general W.T. Sherman, and send him on another glorious and beautiful march through your trailer parks again?

Check yourself bumpkin, in my book, anyone from the south is barely an American, and you should thank your lucky stars (since you clearly don't believe in God) we accepted you back

[Luigi84289]

You look at anything white as wrong. America is another Europe. Black Supremacists like you want to change America into another country for your own interests by trying to deny the founding documents and make the federal Government do what you want all the while discouraging national pride and encouraging interracial marriage.

[caira94]

Im trying to have an intelligent conversation. I am not a Black Supremacists. our documents- The Declaration of Independence states that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL and that we as humans have the rights to life liberty and the PERSUIT of happiness. If a man of ANY decent decides to persue their happiness in Ameica- your doctrines (OUR doctrines)bc WE are AMERICANS. - says we have that right.dont you agree? do u practice nativism? what are your views on asians in america, persuing their happiness?

[Luigi84289]

You can't know what it's like for a white person who sees the truth and what is happening to their country as a result. Why don't you want your own nation run by black people for black people? Where there would be no racism? Racism is a product of infringement.

[caira94]

look. your problem is that you think you are alone in seeing the TRUTH because I see the truth. Yes, I see that the way that young African American's misrepresent our culture (through dress,music, and language and statistics, and violnce.) has truly painted the darkest image possible of Black people.

[mya619]

i totally agree all that stuff that we African Americans are doing now makes our race look like a joke,and a shame all that the African Americans did to try to make childrens and there grandchildrens days and lifetime easier, and look at them now, gangs bangs, selling drugs and, rap music, not being about the same rap used to mean something, now it's all the same you hear one rap song, you pretty much have heard them all they talk about is sex, drugs and money...

[caira94]

But understand and study the economy, corrupt business men (primarily caucasian) and our former president (caucasian) has lied to his people for years and has not had this country's wellbeing as most important. But what would i be to have prejudice against the the caucasian race?

[caira94]

the answer is to educate people on the truth. see the truth you speak about- you are educated about ONE aspect of the truth, but there are many sides to the truth- and you DO NOT know all of them. i dont either but youve just gone and damned the whole race insted of trying to understand, create a solution and BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION. and the solution is not "getting your own state"

[empressoffrance]

@caira94 I honest to god do not believe what I am reading. Why is it a mistake when u go into a blk neighb? Some big, blk guy gonna beat u up? I remember those days and those men sitting at the counters were heroes. Try pouring soup on someone's head today and u will be missing all yr teeth. Wht ppl do not want to give blk ppl credit for anything. The highest paid sports ppl and entertainers are all blk.Look up blk inventions and achievements, u just don't want to learn. Just stay ignorant.

[caira94]

why is it a mistake to go into a black neighborhood? thats your mind set- that YOU dont belong there is what you think so you become scared. have you encountered harassment when you made the *mistake of going into a black area?

[Luigi84289]

It's a mistake to go into a black neighborhood because they don't want whites there. But it's not okay for whites to discourage a black person moving into their neighborhood because you want what we have and aren't content striving and doing the same things yourselves.

[Goodriddance848]

who. the. fuck. do. you. think. you . are??

wait wait, let me guess, and asshole who dont know his roots?? you should never. NEVER. call anyone that. You think you are being to high and might, but no. you are just being a bitch who cant find the respect to get your ass out of the past. Grow up, or youll be left the fuck behind..... No one should ever have to endure what they did. Maybe you would shut your mouth if you were there. Think before you comnt.u rely shud kep ur mind to urself.

[zark78]

It's hard to imagine those days existed. As a northerner, I always wonder how white southerners feel about jim crow.

[mumbels24]

I was born/raised in South East Texas. We had extensive classes through public school covering black history, almost more than any other history subjects. Now residing in Mississippi, I've met a white coworker that was from northern Oregon, former NAVY, moved to MS for work. He never heard of Jim Crow Laws or any other post civil war struggles for Black Americans. Needless to say, It's been interesting discussing black history of the state of MS and the nation from each others point of view.

[whiteoverniggers]

fucking yankee

[emochuu]

Discrimination in the North almost as widespread as in the south, only it wasn't 'official' segregation, it was done by keeping blacks in poorer areas and in meanial jobs etc. Same deal, different method.

[chetansingh2006]

very interesting hi from india

[HerrSchenkel]

@zark78 Today, we white southerners feel the same way about Jim Crow laws as you do. I worked in a factory a few years ago, and when I was told by some of the older folks that it used be segregated, I found it hard to imagine. About half of my coworkers were black, as was my trainer (a man that I enjoyed talking to when we had time who helped convince me to become a little more conservative when I was much more liberal) who later became my supervisor.

[vyrgo84]

@zark78 that dude is laughing about hard times! damn, !! respect !!!
