  • I'm watching the freedom riders right now. The only cauc-asians I have respect for are the ones who helped blacks for freedom. Every other whites should just drop dead! No race is superior if you were that superior you wouldn't be dying in great numbers from cancer and other diseases you should never die or get affected by any diseases! that shows there's no race that has specialties or superiorities over an other race! We all die and go rot six feet under!

  • Why is humanity loaded with so much fail?

  • Whites who think they are better than Black... just remember God created us all.. There should be no hatred in America. The fact that it existed makes me sick.

    No one is better than anyone else. Never forget.

  • Those were really hard days and there's no reason to be ashamed because History turned a hard point there and for good !

  • HI!!

  • Good luck other UW applicants:)

  • I'm not American, but after watching this film in my country, 2 days ago at "American Documentary Showcase 2011" - I felt ashamed, because I'm white.

  • Well, I'll have to disagree with you. It is a matter of private property. If a store owner or bus owner doesn't want someone of a particular race, ethnicity, or religion occupying his property, the government has no business telling that individual what he can and can't do with his property. If the government does that it can tell a Christian school that they can't "discriminate" against homosexual teacher.

  • Hard to believe this was only 50 years ago. Every American should see this.

  • This was a great

    

  • Regarding this person on here who made a racist comment and turned most of you into attackers...ignore such people. Their job is to start a fight. Your job is not to fight. Good day.

  • This was such a great documentary! I missed it on tv, but I saw it online. For those who missed it or want to see it again, it is currently on the PBS website. =)

  • This documentary was excellent. I was able to catch this on PBS last night. I rarely purchase dvd's but this one I am definitely going to buy. Everyone really should see this.

  • Tremely4 and Sistarovat I feel very sorry for you, maybe some day someone will open your eyes. I think it was a wonderful documentary and I thank the Freedom Riders and every soldier who has fought for our right to be free. Without them neither you guys or myself would have the right to post on here.

  • Watching this always makes my eyes watery. So proud to have helped out during production.

  • why should tremley's crowd be the only ones with these "freedoms"?

    The Freedom Riders were risking their lives to make sure that we all had equal rights to choose: front seat or back seat, cruel or kind behavior, respect or demean others, etc. We all make choices, and the one strongly recommended in the Bible is the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We need to thank these American heroes every day of our lives for opening our world to this most important choice.

  • @Tremley4 you're an idiot. 

  • @Tremley4 So whites don't rob, rape, steal, carjack, invade? Speaking of invading, whites invaded America, killed, raped, murdered the indigenous people, fed native babies to dogs, & burned native families like it was a regular Saturday BBQ. Whites have committed an enormous amount of crimes that no minority can come close to, so don't even start with your BS.

  • @SerialKilla4u Kinda hard to explain that to brain belonging to an inbred.

  • @Tremley4 wow, you are one sad sunuvabitch.

  • @Tremley4 Don't fill yourself with hatred, sir. There is no point in arguing, not all black people are what you make them out to be. It isn't the color of the skin that makes a person bad, it's the actions.

  • The saddest thing about this is that by reading some of these comments...We have not come far enough. There are still those among us consumed with hate that has no purpose except to hurt others.

  • The Civil Rights generation doesn't get enough credit for the contributions they made to America. They are exactly what America is suppose to be about. They are Freedom Fighters.

  • Please stop saying anything to @Sistarovat,I suspect that whoever it is is a agent.If not that just your average stupid person.No point in playing along with them.

  • @leaky11581, Oh, really, freedom is the right to do whatever you want? What if I decided I want to smoke in a restaurant's non-smoking section, what if a man decided he wanted to go into the women's restroom? Would a restaurant be violating "civil rights" if they called the police and had a potential customer dragged out of their restaurant for violating their "No shoes, No shirt, No service" policy? When you own something, whether it's your home or business, you choose what to do with it.

  • @Sistarovat Yes, but that is a matter of privacy and dress code, not race.

  • @canaceian These people were not going anywhere in particular. Their sole purpose was to agitate and stir up trouble and violence. They were sent down South by their Communist handlers for one purpose and one purpose only, to get their heads busted for the press to see. What did they expect to happen down here in the South? The violence of the mobs was inexcusable, but so was the behavior of these atheistic, communist, race-mixers.

  • @Sistarovat Wow you should have just wrote I'm dumb.

  • @Sistarovat Wait, so people who happen to have a black skin couldn't ride the bus with white people or go to a restaurant? That was ok and they should have obeyed? You are either a troll or a racist.

  • These people were stupid. It doesn't matter which side of the bus you ride on. You still get to the same location. If integrationists wanted integrated buses that bad, they could have started their own transit company. I have no sympathy with these idiotic agitators. What they did had nothing to do with "freedom". Freedom is being able to choose as an owner of a company, what rules to have (seating arrangements, etc.). These people didn't represent equality, they repersented rising communism.

  • @Sistarovat How are you able to send messages to youtube from the 1960's? Your ability to be able to use this technology has floored me. But I take assurance in the fact you are too dumb to be the inventor. In all seriousness though. If you choose to live in your small world, then simply stay there. Don't venture out into the real world and start screaming at various living and inanimate objects like a crazed senior. Wake up to yourself, and wake up to the world.

  • you are completely ignorant and "blind" ,freedom is the right to do whatever you like. White people have had the freedom to do whatever they like for thousands of years while other races had to fight for there right to do things as simple as being able to sit in the front of a bus to tremendous things like desegregating the system. People like you make me sick and your comments don't deserve an audience@Sistarovat
