Texas Southern University: Silencing Houston's Jim Crow

[mrchurch1]

I love black history, we have to remember these greats bcuz we wouldn't be were we are if it was not for them and prayer

[MIKECNW]

How come all those southern states east of the Mississippi get documented and not Texas?

[zunk11]

fascist 'r' word dropper.

[zunk11]

As soon as I saw headlines saying "drive-by shooting, six injured, etc." I thought 'it's black.'

Sure enough, you read on- rival gangs, black Univ., "block party", Rep. Sheila Jackson-- sure enough, it's blacks.

When was the last time you heard of a white drive-by? It's almost always blacks.

[macdogq]

I remember growing up during the seventies as a hispanic male. Hispanics were being attacked by both black, and whites. It was very difficult. I guess blacks used to say we were part of the white race, and likewise from the whites used to say we were part of minorty groups.

[kalliebell]

I did my history report/project on Houston Segregation, had an interview with one of the students who took part inthe sit-ins, everybody knows him @ TSU, Mr. Mac.

THE USA RACIST POLICY SURPASSED ADOLF HITLERS

NAZI REGIME. in my opinion the USA have no right to berate the German 1930's Nazi's as the USA continued its own policy (during)and long after Aug 15 1945 when Germany surrendered. The German regime is over but the US racism continues today... see REDLINING etc, Hurricane Katrina response, Rodney king and so on.

[DJHollygrove]

I never thought about it that way!!! I agree

[sekemkare]

@DJHollygrove...Thank's for reply!

[BlackDude1987]

Whites are racist , no surprise there .

[stiltz06]

wow i didn't know tsu students did that, i need to do some more research on my school..

[no27484]

Great Story.

[jwalk31]

Please take the time to get an understanding of the video that you are viewing. Your message was off topic and does not reflect an intelligent response to the content at hand. The content was regarding the civil rights movement in Houston and more specifically the impact on African-Americans. Furthermore, respond in English. The video is in English...it's regarding English speaking people....Americans. And we do use racist terms like mulatto in 2008.

[jwalk31]

Let me clarify...We DO NOT use racist terms like mulatto in 2008.

[4king14]

if u notice that one of the signs said no mexicans??

[lanieberger]

I don't know how old you are or what country you are in Mr. Bugler but all history classes I have ever been in have covered this in class. No intelligent person is pretending this didn't happen.

[lvngdead]

Whites wanna forget about it though becuase it wasn't effective enough for their diseased hearts. New Jim Crow laws in full effect in 5 years, just watch. What's in effect right now is subliminal segregation and stereotyping without you even knowing, the next step after that will prolly be a genocide against blacks And no other countries are gonna do anything because all the countries with power are also mostly light-skinned.

[lvngdead]

Death to the european descendants, death to the arabs, death to the light-skinned mongoloids, and death to anyone follish enough to assimilate into any of these "societies".

Light-skinned = racist viruses. Possibly extraterrestrial in origin.

[lvngdead]

Actually, shit. Lemme make one thing clear though. Not all light-skinned people are viruses, I estimate it's about 80% of the populations that would have diseased souls. Wait, I mean diseased hearts. I don't think they have souls.

It's kinda comforting at least, to think that 20% of the white american population never have and never will have any racist views towards people with large amounts of pigmentation.

[lanieberger]

I don't know what it is like in Anguilla and I cannot pretend that I understand your predicament but learn from Dr. Martin Luther King. He was able to topple the system with the help of thousands of people, love, and the justice system. In his words," "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." He learned the true power of love from Mahatma Ghandi.

[lanieberger]

Follow his example lead your people with love for your enemies and you will win. The road of Freedom and Equality is long and difficult but it must be taken in order to save our world from racism. Learn about Ghandi's teachings, King's success, look up E.D. Nixon. These men can help you LEAD and bring about change. You have the conviction use it for good. I wish you the best of luck.

[lanieberger]

Please remember that there are many people all over the world, black white whatever that will empathize with your plight and give as much support as they can.

"You must be the change you want to see in the world"-Ghandi

[lvngdead]

Ghandi died in vain. Because his people now speak english more than Hindi, and his people seem to love mixing with whites and raising children with western values. yet they forget that the OG westerners tried to take over their lands less than a century a go. fuckin disgusting and fuckin pathetic.

fuck light skinned indo aryans and dravidians.

[afrodisiac1984]

this is idiotic, arabs and asian people are also victims of racism you should be caling for a united fight with these people against racism not condemning all as "light skinned" racists. the different types of racism we suffer are different and have different historic roots, but nonetheless they exist, arabs might not have been slaves but now you aer more likely to get the crap bombed out of yuo if your iraqi or palestinian u cant tell me these people dont suffer racism...

[lvngdead]

you are a fucking moron, you know that? Who the fuck introduced europeans to african slavery? The creators of that shit, the fuckin arabs. Muthafucka, you ever hear chinese or korean parents tellin their daughters to not bring home a white? No they tell em to not bring home a black.

This goes beyond conditioning of the mind by the media and what not. This is something biological, a pattern that probably has always existed and always will.

You either withus, or you withthem. don'tbe whitewashed

[afrodisiac1984]

your low lvl of intellectual ability really shows man, either that or your 10 years old...your arguments are so easy to refute...firstly Europeans didnt need any "introduction" to slavery serfdom which was the norm in most european countries was a form of slavery and slavery in europe goes back to the greeks...and you calling everyone "white" is just stupid...there is nothing biological about race its a social construct,

[afrodisiac1984]

please show some scientific evidence that shows that "whites" are biologically different to "blacks"...and so what if arabs participated in the slave trade? so did many whites and blacks in fact, this does not take away from the fact that as a group arabs also suffer from racism, in fact many blacks in the U.S army take part in the occupation of arab countries, can i then use this as proof that blacks are the same as whites and oppress arabs? no i wouldnt

[afrodisiac1984]

and as for asian people being racist to blacks, yes i am sure it happens, (and if i see them i would be telling hem the same things i am telling you) but that doesnt mean they themselves dont suffer from racism, for example i assume that you are black but clearly racist yourself towards arabs etc...does that mean because your racist you dont suffer from racism? anyway im sure many white people would not want their daughters to bring home arabs or chinese people either...end of discussion

[MarineBugler]

It's amazing that our full history is not taught in schools. How far have we come, really?

[kalliebell]

i did a history report on this movement , and made a 4 on the project becausei had an original member from the sit-in dr. walker

[Steadno]

Segregation wasn't commercially wise because it prevents potential customers from spending their money.

[Rohde07]

there are people out there that think that this type of action is what should be occuring still today. There are people who think this is what needs to happen because certain ethnic groups are supposedly "superior" to others. There are people out there who think certain ethnic groups are inferior and are not worthy of living a life as full and as well nourished as others. Does that put an aching twist in your stomach?

[walkerwalker123]

Excellent storytelling....excellent footage...

[johnfinbarburke]

no blacks no irish right .. ?
