  • The oppressors won't win if we educate and come as one

  • mandawah, you are so right about sackville 10. i am so glad that we have come along way thus far, and still a long way to go, but God willing we'll walk togethger someday and watch each others backs from those kind of people. i ust to play music at the old el strato and never in 5 years had one problem, in fact i always felt very safe in there. God bless you and your people, and God bless you from me and my family. Ron

  • to know more truths about the so called blacks,see site Hebrewisraelitesdotorg

  • Very good look,I like the movement. Hey my family's from Dartmouth we live in Toronto. Keep up the good work people need to know more history about who we are as people and where we came from. Beals Boy Gang

  • Having grown up in North End Halifax I remember Africville well. I was young naieve and uneducated so di not think much of it other than it was there. How attitudes have changed. There actually was a keen religious and family sense of community despite the conditions. Being isolated can often lead to this just as in the outports of Nefoundland. What an injustice was done to that community when their lands were expropriated to build the on ramps to the new bridge.

  • My grandmother NEVER shared this story we this. I guess when she came to the States, she left this story behind :~(

  • I typed in black Canadians out of curiosity a few minutes ago. Now I feel depressed. I had no idea this had happened. White Canada did a good job of making black Canadians invisible.

  • ahhhh ain't the world a fucked up place? does anyone have any idea how to fix this situation? it would be nice to see some constructive conversations here, but instead all i see is arguments. oh well what can you expect from youtube...

  • An important part of history thanks for sharing!

  • i'M FROM HALIFAX that place had no sewage it was rat infested and disease ridden they moved evreyone out and moved them into new housing now known as gottingen st. Boo fucking Hoo how long do white people have to feel guilty for? It's all bullshit . I'm Irish I want money and an apology for my kin having rocks bounced upside their heads when they got off the boats and being discrinated against.

  • That land belongs to Haiti and was sold years ago. When blacks were forced to settle there, no one wanted the harsh weather conditions. Whites are always invading. It's in there blood. The whole history of Europe is one big invasion after another.

  • @ddsharper you are a moron you ever hear of the underground railroad? forced here? fuck off douchey.

  • @jhborden typical crakka response. canadian limited where blacks could settle. read the original writings by John Brown and Dr. Milton Alexander, both abolitionists, the latter Canadian. Now I could stoop to your crakka level and call you a moron too but we already know that so there's no need to be juvenille, at least on my part. Crakka shit, crakka comment, crakka foolery.

  • @ddsharper WTF man? you are really special.................in that short school bus kind of way your a hater be it racist or just in general. But damn put that pipe away Loc.

  • @ddsharper Whites eh?! what about the romans or egyptians or the persians the mongolians or even the greeks do they ring a bell? Yup it's always been the whites. Fuck the whites are hated on so much we should start feeling like a minority or mayby we just keep working hard without feeling sorry for ourselves for being hated on and live our lives. People like you I mean your soul and way of thinking is why people hate eachother so much stay ignorant who gives a fuck anyhow.

  • @jhborden agreed, people you listed, like the romans did much worse than whites did

  • @jhborden mostly because they promised equality and justice in a more governed time, yet still blaintintly lied and prosecuted innocent minorities for no reasons and did not treat them equal. Im not blaming todays white people at all I like to treat everyone fairly but you cant compare a time period so out dated to a time like in this video in a country where democracy and equality is promised, it's just so uneven.

  • @KRONICHxTAYLORGANG The natives were mistreated more then the blacks were in canada we had the underground railroad those people living in africville were actually americans technically living on stolen land from the natives. Ironic eh.

  • @jhborden land that was promised to them after the war.

  • @jhborden no the irony is that the land you live on has been sowed by the black man and his native brothers. Blacks were treated worse if not just as bad as natives. Tell me my ignorant friend when was slavery abolished in Canada? What was the catalyst which set the ruling in motion? How and why did slaves become indentured ?what is ironic about your statement is that you seem to think you were making a point which would be a slam dunk, when really all you have is egg on your face.

  • @nickyvonvicky If you say so bud egg on my face really? come on man real lame SSDD.UK abolished slavery becaused Canada was not formed at that time. :) Vicky 2 great game try it.ulearn

  • i still to this point have far more comments in suport of my comments then against . because im not full of shit and i talk the truth

  • If Black people were given opportunities back in the day,you wouldnt have a lot of black poverty in Nova Scotia or in the U.S. Denying blacks oppurtunities put Black's behind and originally forced them to become dependent on welfare. Even though black folks have come a long way, black's are still denied jobs in the U.S. Denied jobs and systemmatic racism leads to poverty.

  • @MANDAWAH I don't understand... Many racial minorities were "denied jobs", and opportunities but that didn't stop them... For example the Chinese and Japanese. How come even though they were put under the same circumstances they eventually out performed Europeans? Also, Aboriginals are given benefits in excessive quantity and yet so many still do worse. Perhaps there's another side to the story than just white suppression?

  • @WilliamEGD i think you need to look at Peonage in America to understand fully that what you wrote is the complete height of ignorance.

  • Comment removed

  • The razing of Africville is one incident that screams for the enshrinement of property rights in the Charter. Like Africvillers, other people have had their property STOLEN BY THE STATE, for the benefit of developers and porkbarrel public works projects. We also need property protection with more teeth than the U.S. 4th Amendment. In America, people have had their property declared 'blighted' and stolen from under them, particularilly since the Kelo v. New London ('eminent domain') decision.

  • @acsial ur right on all points.

  • Bring the Ambalamp!

  • Sackville10, you are a blithering, incoherent, uneducated coward! Define, in your words what is a "nigger"?? Judging from your previous posts, it is evident that you can't even being to put together a sentence grammatically. Study the oppressive history of your European Forefathers before you start slandering the character of oppressed Blacks in Nova Scotia. Africans were in pyramids while Europeans were still in caves, you cowardly bastard!

  • i agree with you Oabdu123, but then you go on to make your own little racist comment . Whites were not in caves during egypt's reins and blacks are not egyptians. So please don't be a hypocrite with reverse racism, it makes you look as bad as SACKVILLE 10.

  • @robdmhaze ur wrong robdmhaze. Blacks were and are egyptian. ur a victim of white lies, white distortion of history and white theivery. all history books will change. all lies are being uncovered. we gave whites their math, language, and everything else. like grass under asphalt, the truth is surfacing big time, though blacks have always known the truth. soon all history books will be changed and white lies put to rest, to die in their tombs with white supremacy. we are simply the messengers.

  • @sharper bwahahaha psycho...... thanks but now ur just spouting shit ....

  • Racism didn't help things, but the theft of Africville residents' properties was nothing but an 'eminent domain' land-grab. This keeps happening in Canada and the beneficiaries are always either developers, or construction firms (both of whom grease the palms of local and provincial politicians). One incident involved a family in B.C., who lost their home to a mining company, seeking zeolite deposits (for kitty litter) under their property.

  • @oabdu123 AMEN oabdu. the words gettin' round too. check out the youtube series, european distortion of african history and the video by the professor about africa's fractal math, african maths. peace. keep speaking truth to non-power!! LOL.

  • My Father was born in Africville in 1920, he left in 1932. He died in Buffalo in 1993. I promised him I would go there and meet my relitives. When he herd it was all gone, he was heart broken. I am 55 years old, and I will take my family to the reunion and keep that promise.

    Oh, and sackville 10, Spoken like a true Red Neck..Bull Conner would blush at your ignorence. KEEP UP THE TRAILOR PARK TALK...It becomes you.

  • this statement is touching

  • thanks for posting this

  • I am white . . . and I did not see the flowers

  • yes my black people see website,hebrewisraelite the truth will make u free

  • fuck the illuminati.. stop blaming white people.. stop hating on black people.. its the government, the elites of the government, and anyone who lets themselves go ignorant and controlled is only part of the problem. our public education was totally false and manipulated, educate yourself, or your just living in a new kind of opression. we were all put here as slaves by the reptilians from planet x. white and black there is no difference, its all part of the new world agenda to keep us all down.

  • This is not a 'race' thing, but a MONETARY issue--a land-grab, for profit. Google "Kenny Gamble"+"Universal Companies"+"blighted properties" and see what wealthy 'blacks' are capable of doing to 'black' property owners, using eminent domain powers. (In this case, creating 'Muslim Only' communities in Philadelphia, by legally stealing 'blighted' properties.) Some developer made a LOT of money off of Africville land.

    I don't understand why left-wingers don't support the notion of property rights.

  • @Killuminatihali1

    Very interesting comment, (but I think it may go over the average persons head.)

    Check out 'The Camelot Project.'

    Regards

  • @Killuminatihali1 personally I think the tooth fairy and the easter bunny started it all.

  • my great grandmother use to live there....

  • Racism has to be talked about constantly, guarded against endlessly and addressed immediately wherever it ocurrs, wherever it is suspected to ocurr day after day, year after year, decade after decade, era after era, otherwise it will never go away. God bless you all.

  • The birth place of modern ice hockey 1815. Black Ice a helluva book to read.

  • Sackville10 if you ever come back here again, that man is not a retard. You are just behaving like the typical blind insensitive white person. Your fellow white citizens and probably your ancestors oppressed those blacks of Nova Scotia. When you can show proof that you and your ancestors were also oppressed, raped, kidnapped from their former lands, robed of their heritage, and denied social mobility then you can complain too.

  • sackville10 is behaving like the typical blind insensitive person. why do you care that he is white. why do WE as people not by race use words to group us apart?

  • black were fred slaves from the southren usa not they were payed well for there land that they had no legal title to asshole . im white and my grandparent both side grew up in africville , what about the whites ????? . you just want to blame whites for 300 years of black well fare . even today in dwntown halifax they r still on welfare . i dont live in n.s and when ppl visit there and come back all they talk about are the ignorant blacks in halifax . black nova scotians fucking discrace

  • @sackville10 YOU MOTHERFUCKER IF I KNEW WHERE YOU WHERE AT I WOULD PUNCH THE FUCK OUT OF YOU I CAN,T STAND RACIST PEOPLE LIKE YOU .WHITE HONKIE

  • @sackville10 Don't give me that bullshit. Just as many Indians and Whites in Nova Scotia are on welfare as Blacks. The only reason the numbers are so much higher is because there's like 50,000 Black People in the entire Province, but there's like 800,000 Whites. Put it this way, if there was say 10,000 Whites, and 10,000 Blacks Unemployed in the entire Province. The Unemployment rate for White people would be 1.25%. But for Blacks it'd be 20%. See?

  • @Ian74263 where the fuck you get those made up numbers from? Oh wait you must of went to sackville high.................nevermind then.

  • i go back every fucking year and all i see downtown are niggers trying to act like they are from a hood in detroit harrassing tourists and stealing during busker fest . black nova scotians are a disgrace to blacks

  • i feel the same way too !

    take care

    Michael

  • @sackville10 Blacks don't go around threatening people? What do you mean? The only reason I'd beat the living fuck out of someone is if they said anything with "Nigger" to me. That's when you get the shit kicked out of you you idiotic fuck. No one in the right mind goes around just beating people up. People still think "Nigger" is just a word? Anyone can say it? In my opinion, anyone can say "Nigger" if it's only used to educate, like about racism or something, as long as it's not used to hurt.

  • @Ian74263 guess you don't get out much people do just beat the fuck out of people for no reason it's called a swarming it happend to me waiting for a bus with my gf and a buddy and his gf. they sucker punched me and girls grabbed my gf at the time and smashed her head into a metal garbage can.

  • no one is deserving of this

  • i am one of the unheard off white decendents of africville . hey retaRDS WE WERE THERE TO IN THE SAME SLUM TOO. 30% WERE WHITE. WE JUST DONT BITCH AS LOUD I GUESS OR MAYBE WE ARE ALL SUPOST TO BE RICH , GUESS WHAT WE WERE POOR TOO.

  • you need to stop and think about what you just said. 4 months ago

  • Comment removed

  • your kidding right? one person couldn't be so ignorant.

  • Comment removed

  • Eddie Carvery is Camped there today I believe...well on the former site...now Seaview park...

  • no he isnt , his trailer was burnt and towed away as the garbage should be .

  • I live in Halifax and I read the Herald today about Africville and I wanted to learn more about Africville so I came here to search for videos...what a sad sad story. i'll never understand. NO one should be treated differently/badly due to race or color. Thanks for the video. Peace to all.

  • Very True Video of the way People should of never been treated.

  • pt 2 of my comment: Please i will take the blame myself for all the hurt people. You see when I was 4 I didnt know racism either did my friend. I love God and God created us all as his children.

  • I was 4 moved into anew house in toronto. a girl, also 4came up to me and said "HI" I said "Hi, you have a chocolate face" she said "you have a vanilla face" then she touched my cheek and i touched hers "Wanna play? "ok". In high sch I saw a film on ML king.I ran from the class hysterical I felt so much shame. Please accept my apology for I ask forgiveness in Jesus name.

  • We learn from our past and our mistakes. Ignoring what has happened distines us to relive those events. We obviously haven't learned when we see comments like this. This example can been seen all over the world. It is happening between Oil Companies and us regular people. Anything for money and who cares who is taken advantage of. We also are convinced oil has to do with the middle east yet record profits in the industry are from the U.S. We need to take respinsibility and do the right thing.

  • Is a shame some people don't know about Africville...

  • I do, but all I know was that its population was entirely black and was near Halifax (and they saw the explosion) as the video shows.

  • not entirly black there were lots of poor whites , irish and china men there to , we just do expect hand outs and have moved on , not like the bitching blacks that are still there whining and blaming whites for everything

  • @parkdale420 I learned about Africville in my Black History class in Walton High School in the Bronx. We also learned about the settlements of Birchtown, Cape Negro, Preston, Tracadie, etc. :)

  • It is a shame, but unfortunately it is history. Otherwise, why not give the Acadians all the land that they were kicked off 400 years ago? Or why not move everyone of European or African descent back to their country of origin so that the Natives can have the Americas. It's done, overwith. All we can do is start from here and move on. We should be looking at the future for our children and using the past as a lesson.

  • couldnt have said it better myself! However, there is more involved in the dislocation of peoples than simply a scattered community and broken legacy. The capital gained from the Africville relocation and the indigenous relocation has contributed to the colonial hegemony that is intrinsic to North American (white)prosperity. this must be reconciled before we can simply move on.

  • The people who like to say "it's in the past move on" are the ones who will not see the injustices of today.

  • But Mishel24, there is a big difference between something that happened 400 years ago and something that happened just 40 years ago! We should be doing exactly as you have said - using the past as a lesson. Obviously this was not the case with Africville. The lessons of 360 years prior (and subsequent times in between) seemed to have no bearing on the appropriation of Africville resident's land. (cont'd)

  • (Cont'd)

    Perhaps it is as Graham 1983 has so lucidly expressed. The reasons for this injustice in the face of so many past injustices needs to be examined; the nature of "colonial hegemony" and it link to "North American (white) prosperity" cannot simply be ignored. To say, as you have done, that "it's a shame, but unfortunately its 'history'" is tantamount to being indifferent to the suffering and injustice faced by others!

  • We learn from our past and our mistakes. Ignoring what has happened distines us to relive those events. We obviously haven't learned when we see comments like this. This example can been seen all over the world. It is happening between Oil Companies and us regular people. Anything for money and who cares who is taken advantage of.

  • Excellent. Thanks for posting.

  • Wow this is deep. Very enlightening.
