It’s a very sad situation at first they were bettering themselves and having good jobs but overtime we saw a quick turn. It’s very sad they stuff they went through the entire movie. The pictures were also sad and terrifying to look at
It is sad to see that the ones that were trying to better themselves sour them and they families were seen as stepping out of place and were hunted with no real help from others even the president a scare tactic that worked to keep others from really fighting and staying were they are in economics
As I watch this I see that history is repeating itself. Black people have to educate our own and when we educate our own our youth feel more encouraged than when they are educated by others. More black people are coming into positions of power but yet are still being arrested by police and with no apology after being properly identified. The fact that even today black people are being hanged but are apparent “suicides” when really these are lynchings happening. And just like the end of the video with the resurgence of the KKK, it seems that today they are making a comeback yet again.
This video touches all surfaces in terms of the social injustice that black people had to deal with then and the i justices we still deal with today in America. I’ve recently been watching a lot of old
Malcolm X interviews and the Nation of Islam constantly preached that us as black people in America need to develop our own nation (within America) and create our own jobs, agriculture, police and own beliefs and stop being so dependent on th white man to give us change. Once we put our resources and thinking power together we can accomplish much more than they ever did.
So much of the video is represented today. The percentage of black and brown incarceration compared to white, the blatant systematic racism, and the fight for equality. The main thing I’ve gathered is that in order to receive the peace you want, you must fight with everything you have to obtain it. Settling for only partial rights will never result illegally for the lesser influential group.
This video shows all of problems we as the black community have. Its shows thag we are way more powerful than meets the eye. They are threatened by our vocal ways and how smart we actually are

It is very disturbing to see how when they got a whiff of African Americans excelling and becoming a voice for their people they wanted to shut them down and kill them. That goes to show how powerful they knew we were which actually was frightening to them.
This video goes to prove that the black community will always be a threat to the caucasian community. What baffles me is that African Americans were able to get out of one of the worst times in American History, make something good for themselves, whether that be getting an education, starting a business, being free and enjoying freedom and yet they were still considered less then. There were whites who occupied the same jobs as these freed individuals but somehow when black people are involved we all of a sudden have to push for segregation. Unbelievable!
This video is very education and pretty much self explanatory. I believe it should be showed in more history classes. I picked up what lead to segregation and all the racism. When blacks were freed, some of them had good paying jobs, they used the skills they learned in slavery in private enterprise. They were beginning to feel like they were making a contribution to the community. They were nicely dressed, had “good” relationships with the whites which made them begin to start feeling themselves. Due to this, white people felt threaten and did everything they could to prove that blacks were not capable.The whole Jim Crow is basically anti-black laws. I also found it interesting how most of the republicans were black people, I didn’t know so many black men were involved in politics back then. This video is also very sad, seeing how blacks were not allowed to have education. Their institutions were not supported only because it was developing minds and not domestic skills is just absurd. I believe black people deserve so much better today because they are capable of doing better things than the white men. They are not only physically built stronger than the whites but mentally too.
There are some powerful insights in this video. One key takeaway for me me is that the black during reconstruction were able to leverage thier agricultural and mechanical skill in order to gain more income. the vidoe also touches on the birth of the black middle class. As we go through the fourth industrial revoultion we must do like our ancestors and gain new technical skills and levergae them to move in too the middle class, upper middle class, or lesiure class of America. In short in demand skills equal economic empowerment and economic empowerment leads to upward social mobility.
This should be required to watch in all schools . This is really sad , this trend of imprisoning young black men is still continuing , yet nothing has changed. So much of this is still going on today .
Hearing the word ‘segregation’ between black and white people and everything it involved sometimes seems unthinkable until one watches videos like this, where it is actually applied. It is really hard to take…I can’t quite imagine living through it. BLACK PEOPLE DESERVE WAY BETTER TODAY…!
Committed to investigating, examining, and representing the African-American male, men, and manhood by offering commentary regarding the status of Black Men and Black Manhood as it relates to African-American Manhood, Race, Class, Politics, and Culture from an educated and authentic African-American perspective aimed at improving the plight of African-American men and African-American Manhood in regards to Politics, Culture, Education, and Social Matters.

We’ve deserved better treatment. Its like where do we even start?!?

Ideally for the lesser influential group**

Jim Crow laws were simply a method of social control for blacks in the country.
