Two great songs to start off and set the mood: Nobody Knows the Trouble I See and I Feel Like A Motherless Child
Summertime and I Feel Like a Motherless Child by Mahalia Jackson
Louis Armstrong – Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen (Lyrics)
The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow
This video is no longer available on You tube. I could not find an equivalent unbiased video but will keep looking. Google, please stop re-writing history by removing the truth.
The video while long (an hour) and of poor quality conveyed the ugsome role of Jim Crow Laws in maintaining American racial apartheid that protected white supremacy through violence and decadence of morality.
I hope the video relieved the staunch grip-hold of stereotypes, particularly as they pertain to black folks lazy-unproductive natures’ as well as demonstrate the purposeful nature of white supremacy in oppressing and creating submissive Black people
You see white man worked hard to keep us down
Worked hard and kept enslaved
Worked hard and made subordinates
Worked hard and made us NIGGERS!
Whites worked hard to create triggers
Masta worked hard, Jim Crow on his side
Worked hard and kept darkys dark
Worked hard and humiliated– whipped and raped,
Worked hard incited fear and brought tears
Whites worked hard to keep us down
White folks filled with hate
Worked hard and divided the spades
Worked hard and stripped pride and masta self-priviligized
Worked hard and lynched children
Whites worked hard to terrorize grins
Toil well-paid
Racism “the” way
American as apple pie
Patriotic symbol of pride
Niggas no education no land no rights
Whites worked hard and kept in fright
… feet bear-down dubiously slaking doubts
The madness of imperialism and white american supremacism
– Angela Grant
Many unknown black people, families, and children were openly and brutally murdered with impunity. White folks enjoyed bragging rights to these lynchings, this part of history should never be forgotten because it represents the very worst of humanity that still exists today.
What’s really funny is that back in those times there was virtually no crime, no drugs, no gun trading, and much more importantly – no Detroit, no Inglewood, no Harlem and no Bronx.
Yup, talk about long gone more civilized times… nostalgia
Know your history. Crime was worse in many parts of the south. Vigilante justice was the rule. There was little law and order.
Lynchings and other murders of innocent Black people were part of your nostalgic good old days. They are back in the form of private and secret prisons that torture and murder innocent people based on pigment, religion or social status.
Here really isn´t anything “FUNNY”!
no because whites have always been criminals to other races….American Indians (you stole their land and slathered them…. Japanese ( you put them in camps)…African ( you stole them and ensalved them) Every one your ancestor came in contact with you destroyed………. somewhat like a virus does……….
Again, it´s impossible to press the “like button”, but it´s a great and terrible collection! It takes a lot of energy not to get mad with the knowledge of These things and more with the knowledge that in a way this is going on and possibly on larger scale. I might refer also to this my article:
Only ISIS is Barbaric? Burning People Alive! https://wipokuli.wordpress.com/2015/02/07/only-isis-barbaric-burning-people-alive/
Blacks today are destroying our city’s in America. Don’t get it wrong whites are doing the same. So to see what blacks went through back then why are blacks killing innocent blacks I mean the children they made and other people children. Whites are doing the same. Not all white people are bad not all black people are bad. I think that after slavery a new generation of people like my grandparents moved on to raise their family some were native Indians some were mix black and white some where black . OK that’s a nice family so I am the grand child from the early 1960s during the Martin Luther King riots in America I was a young girl around 7 to 8 years old can you see how I feel to grow up as a child from the 60s and learn what happen in America.

All of this wasn’t that long ago. It seems like things are really getting bad again. All this racism. Everything is all about race. It’s not about America. Blacks were treated worse than animals, so were the Indians. Jesus come quickly!
