Not me... I immediately thought of how many of those black men actually innocent!

@@lizzypooh3536 same thing. In the movie they were innocent as well

Your weak

Jamaicans created toasting over records a long time before the US music biz created "hip-hop"

Your statement doesn't make any sense. Basically, you're stating toasting pre dates hip hop when rap entered the music industry. Do toasting pre dates hip hop when it was created, not when it entered the music industry. Toasting is not related to hip hop & and doesn't sound like anything to it. Hip hop starts when we created it, not when it entered the music industry, which is another word for the music "business." Why toasting not in the music industry? Toasting is not in the industry cause no one besides Jamaicans knows or likes it. The music industry doesn't dictate when hip hop was created!

Facts been here

ThatsBlackNostalgia well chain gangs were brought back in 1995...

That was a great movie. I have watched it several times.

If they’re guilty, I couldn’t care less, but the only problem back then was a lot of prisoners were railroaded on trumped up charges and didn’t get an adequate defense.

This footage is not from that movie.

thats irish dancing i believe

Instead of making tax payers pay to keep criminals in prison,the ones that can work should be put on a chain gang and make them work for their rent while in prison.

Jason West please explicitly define the “they” you are referring to.

"irrepressible happiness of the prisoners" C'mon A ctionMS this is obvious early U.S. prison propaganda.

Give me a break. Society has actually improved in many ways. You see a few smiling faces in a video of prisoners, and assume that means that people were more decent in the 30's? That's not rational at all. The chain gang system was brutal and inhumane. That's also a time period with horrible racism... those black prisoners had nowhere near equal rights at the time. This film was made around the time that the chain gang system was beginning to be exposed for the truly evil thing it was, and the purpose was likely propaganda to try and convince people that it wasn't so bad, so they intentionally chose the happiest seeming footage they could. If you look at the actual statistics, crime and violence have steadily *decreased* over time. Just because you see plenty on the news doesn't mean that's all that society consists of. It's increased media coverage, not a worse society. All throughout human history, people have believed that things were getting worse, and that "kids these days" just aren't the same. That's a normal quirk of human psychology, but it has nothing to do with reality.

you really believe that smh

compactdisk2 Crime and violence has decreased, but the incarceration rate in the US is the highest in the world. 2/3 of these prisoners re-offend after released. Prison has a reputation for churning out hardened and professional criminals more dangerous than when they went in. I haven't looked into chain gangs of the past and I'm sure there was plenty of abuse, but getting outside and laboring doesn't have to be inhumane. To speak to your main point though, Society is not getting worse, the media is getting more sensationalized. There is always room for improvement however and the incarceration rate is a complex issue.

***** exactly

What is wrong with you

@@Phoenix-hf7bw Hes being sarcastic.

Yep martin lawrence and Eddie murphy at it again.

Believe it or not it footage out their older than this show black people rapping.

In the UK a barrel was used to shame 'drunks' It was called a Drunkard's Cloak, what amounts to a pillory. marybarrettdyer.blogspot.co.uk/2012_04_01_archive.html I believe in some prisons in USA, the inmates were made to stand up for hours, holding the barrel as punishment (generally for petty offenses) Other common punishments may have been nightstick beating or 'the birch', food starvation etc. (Just to note, birching was still being used in British jails until late 60's & was still legal in The Isle Of Man until the early 80's .Most commonly it was used on 'unruly' young men & was meted out at the local police station by the stationed officer.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunkard%27s_cloak One author also recorded its existence in 1784 in Denmark, where it was called the "Spanish Mantle". Further afield, instances of the Drunkard's Cloak use are found in the US; a paper described in 1862 how a "wretched delinquent was gratuitously framed in oak, his head being thrust through a hole cut in one end of a barrel, the other end of which had been removed, and the poor fellow loafed about in the most disconsolate manner, looking for all the world like a half-hatched chicken."[9]

I am old enough to know some, although not all Hahaha, that were birched. It is meant to be bloody painful and it must have had a certain deterent value, because I know of no one who was birched twice, although whether it made them more lawful or just more careful I can't really say.

Sean Hayes how horrible!!!! :(

+Anthony Mullen Looks like charlie murphy time traveler lol

There would STILL be prison gangs. Prison gangs exist because the gangs exist on the outside. The only way to prevent the formation of prison gangs would be to put everyone in solitary confinement, which is obviously not going to happen.

Yes, and it upset me.

No it's footages out there older than this showing black Americans rapping.

Lol

I think the Song Is called " i don't do nobody nothing" but im not sure

Yup.

Boy bye

only because back then they often locked these guys up for very little as a way of maintaining slave labour after it's banning. today the only people in prison are real criminals, not just subjects of discrimination. GEEZ

That has not changed much

So you're saying that a time before civil rights, before these black prisoners even had the right to vote was actually better? Have you even looked at the overall crime statistics? Violent crime was *way* higher back then. Just because people's mannerisms seem to fit with something you find more "decent" does not mean it was a better time. There's even writing from the ancient Greek era where old people lament the fact that society has lost its decency and kids no longer respect their elders... it seems pretty obvious that this is just something that ignorant people tend to assume as they grow old. People who assume that changes in fashion, music, and slang mean some sort of moral decline are not exactly demonstrating intelligent reasoning. Now, don't you have some kids to shoo off your lawn?

re you saying the right to vote tames violence? Have you looked at FBI violent crime stats lately? Violent crime was not higher in the 1920's dummy. Of course your not old enough to remember segregation and how safe the inner cities were.

BTW, why are you making this a race issue?

this has got to be a movie-
