Jim Crow and America's Racism Explained

i’d like to say how much I appreciate the kkk being referred to as a terrorist organization

As a black man I want to thank you for this video on this horrible time in America.

I turn 70 this month. I was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama and none of this information was in any of my high school classes, nor was it readily available elsewhere. Thank you so much for this video! I remain furious regarding the lack of actual education I received during high school. Everything related to the Civil War and our violently racist past was, for lack of a better term, whitewashed in school.

If a person of any color, creed, culture wants to dislike me, let it be because of my character. I can work on that. I have a choice in that matter. I can improve it. Not dislike me because of my skin complexion, something I had no choice in & can't change. Thank you for this video friend 💪🏿✊🏿

And then they say, “everything isn’t always about race”

This guy is a legend he is still hearting peoples's comments 4 years later...

I love this. Straight information. Not indoctrination or misinformation. (that I can tell as yet). This video has spawned a pretty massive research project. This is the 'systemic racism' that we are now digging out by the roots. Not by destroying cities or creating 'safe spaces'; but standing together, getting educated on TRUTH and FACT, and becoming successful together. Admitting when we are wrong. And admitting that HATING OTHERS IS INSANE, that if you HATE another race: YOU are wrong, confused, and turned away from Love.

I went through segregation with one of my really young students (around 7-8 yrs old) and she thought that it was made up cause of the things that were done as a whole. Its amazing that the kids now, even when I was young, are horrified that humans threated each other that way. Definitely a good sign of the future.

Mr Jim Crow is dead but his grandkids are still alive.

I am a black woman and I want to thank you for your video. I’m 32 and actually thought Jim Crow was an actual man 😐. I went to one of the top schools in Central Mississippi and this was NOT EVEN MENTIONED!!! Oh, New subscriber 🤗

I am watching this outside the US and I searched this term "Jim Crow" because I heard it so many times... After watching this video all I can say is that the US has come from very far thanks to all the good people who fought for equality and justice in all races. Without people who stood for what is right imagine how bad the lives of millions of people would have been. The black people have it a lot better; but there are still some areas where I can see there is a modern Jim Crow like the justice system. There are also many groups who want things to stay the same, as it is still common to see groups who are against black people who demand equality like groups who are against BLM movement or the Race Theory... all in all though things are million times better than before thanks for great people who fought for change.

Well presented. I was always curious on understanding the deeper layers of this era of American history!

YouTube is literally free education. I just finished up studying the Declaration of Independence last week

At the age of 82 I can confirm that all that was said about the inhuman treatment of black Americans was true, I witnessed most of it in person. We desperately need a push to educate and not allow to have this part of history to br forgotten or worse, to not even have it known.

This is explained so well! I really felt that I could keep up and learn something extremely important which is rarely talked about. Thank you!

Thank you. I was born in 1857 and though I've known and read about "Jim Crow Laws" since I could read, I can say this is about as concise an explanation as I've ever seen regarding it. Thanks!

Childish gambino brought me here 🙏🏽

I believe that the history of Jim Crow needs to be taught in detail to high school students and see where the nexus of racism began and those who were brave enough to take it on.

A really unbiased, just purely fact-based history lesson I absolutely love it!!

It just seems insane that this was acceptable within living history. Not only is it almost incomprehensible that people thought like this, it’s also hard to believe that public opinion has changed so much in such a short time
