Whoever is behind this channel salute 💯💯

Great example of the history behind systemic racism.

500 acres was stolen from my great grandmother who couldn’t read or write she was scammed into signing over her land by writing the letter X for literally nothing lawd I’m only a teen but when I watch videos like this and think on the stories my elders have told me I feel a deep hurt and anger

NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE FILMING . 1966 / TODAY IS JUNE 2020 . I'VE BEEN OVER THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY . THIS IS BRUTAL, BUT TRUTHFUL. LIFE IS VICIOUS . GOD BLESS.

This is hard to watch but necessary... We should understand that these monsters have not changed a bit and waiting for them to do so is futile.

38:15 sister got more balls than any man in the building. Salute sister.

I was 11years old in 1965, and living in Los Angeles and still recall.those years because even in Los Angeles racism was common.

This channel should seriously be on tv

I can only pray these people were compensated for being in this documentary

My dad taught me about these times. May he rest in peace, he and his siblings were born during the Great Depression and he said times were tough and those white folks were ruthless, remorseless and didn't want you to have dirt. There were poor whites, but I dare ANY white person to switch places with us. They'll be extinct due to mass suicides. But glory to God Almighty YOU CAN'T HOLD US DOWN!!! HALLELUJAH 🙏🙌👏

That "yes, sir" black man? Like Harriet Tubman stated, "he had NO idea that he was free." He was intimidated by white oppression and white rule. These scenarios really showed the faith that my people held. This makes me that much more thankful for the pain-staking roads that they paved. Thank you, ALL!

Facts: Back in the mid and late sixties. I remember the black kids would get old school books from the white schools. We had to use what we had back then and most of us became educated black people despite the oppression.

Though A Lot Of African Americans May Not Like This Documentary; This Is The Way It Was, Especially In The South. This Is True History And Need To Be Told. Especially In The Classroom Of Every African Americans Schools To The Younger Generation; Not Just In February: Black History Month. So They Can See What There Fore Father’s Had To Go Though. And You Know, We Are “ Still “ Going Though With Some Of It To This Very Day !!

Wow. This is heartbreaking. I actually grew up in a upgraded version of these conditions in Nachitoches but we made it through the grace of Yah! HalleluYah. Salute to this channel.

Fast forward 55 years later, June 7, 2020 .... We're still fighting for equality smh, LOVE your channel , keep up the good work!

I was born in 1973. And it is not much seems to have changed. I hope to see change in my lifetime.

Thanks for all the good uploads!!

The crazy thing is my grandfather went through this and he had stayed working for the same family that enslaved his grandfather.

Blacks possess mighty Resilience and faith. Injustices too long. But God shifting.

Anybody can be nobody but everybody can be somebody ! 🌹She reminds me of my auntie , love ya.......When I went to school in the south , 1979-85 , they were still paddling as a means of disciplinary actions.....

My God it seems back then we as a people got alone much,much,much better than these time and days.

I was MORTIFIED at 9:50 when the black man was intimidated to tell the truth with all of the answers that were being tossed at him by all the white men! MORTIFIED!!

Alot of them back then acknowledged The Most High inspite of what they went through. Thats absolutely beautiful. STRONG...Praise Yah. I know the strong faith they had in The Most High got them through many many trying days. Praise Yah for HIS strength HE instills within HIS children no matter the situation or circumstance 🙌🏾

Thank you,for keeping it real...We need to relive and learn.This already happened,what people doing today!!?!

I grew up in Montgomery and I never knew about this documentary. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

"We have the laws. We have the wealth. We have the ingenuity to solve any problem that we really care about."

Thank you so much for the upload I sincerely wish we could get young people to watch programs like this I think somehow it may make a difference with them seeing what we have gone through and still going through I might add!

Wow, isn't that rich for him to say that the blacks are happy? Oh, no, I don't think so! There were many blacks that would grin in their faces just to get along, because they were oppressed and had to make a living even in such a harsh environment....sadly, most of our blacks are doing so much better today and still have a slave mentality. God has seen it all and vengeance is His, not ours.

Thank you for continuing to keep it Reel Black! I appreciate this challenge

Wish young people would take time to watch that might appreciate the sacrifice for the freedom and opportunities they enjoy the people who endured didn't get to take advantage of them

REPARATIONS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Historically the two worst experiences for black people in America: 1. The rural deep South; 2. Urban ghettos.

What a powerful woman..I wasn't born until...1973.(6/16)..But,wow...

A step above slavery.

They always put this in black and white so we will think it happened a while ago but they for sure had colored cameras in this time

Such powerful content 😮😤✊

Thank you for this footage

WOW! that baby could be me. That's the year I was born. This was hard to watch!

My mother in law grew up in the Jim Crow south and walked 2 miles to school, the white children rode the bus to a better school 1 mile away and spit on the black children out the bus window. Things have changed but you have to get equal education for all.

Where is the family with the 7kids?? Someone,has to be living...I was wondering...

I am so sad to see this. Also sick to my stomach. They would have hung me becauseI have to big mouth.

Yes Sir, Yes Sir, Yes Sir, Yes Sir.....Standard answer to the white man's face. Behind the Black man's closed door, there is another "standard answer". 👿👿👿💀💀💀💩💩💩🐷🐷🐷🐍🐍🐍🐀🐀🐀🦨🦨🦨.

Thank you for this channel it has blessed me and my family

Nice looking family. Too good for you

Our strong Black brother sang the song of the Movement . and mentioned John Brown ..the best friend our people ever had ..Bless you Dr.King on your birthday today ..and bless John Brown and the countless others who stood with us during the struggles of those dark days ..our people are a strong courageous people ..and one day soon "We Shall Overcome "..

Thank you for uploading all this gold.

This is the unique history of African Americans #ados in this country. We shouldn't allow anyone else to use our history for their benefit! This is not Obama's lineage, this is not Kamala's lineage, this is ADOS lineage!

@38:02 miss murrie pearl was a natural warrior, she had a presence felt by just watching this video! Salute to all my BLK folks for enduring so much hate!

thank you for the wonderful work you have been doing all these years BRAZIL LOVES YOU REEL BLACK

OMG,WHAT the little old lady was getting up to give that white man the chair 😔😔😔🤬🤬🤬

Excellent broadcast!!!!!

We as a people “SHOULD NEVER EVER FORGET OUR HISTORY AND THE EFFECTS OF IT NEVER”. This is why it’s imperative that we MUST TREAT OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS BETTER, because NOBODY ELSE WILL.

Love your videos....nice to hear goin to looptloop...much better than hokey pokey and learning a lot about how things were. Thank you ma'am

That mule farmer. Sad, shameful he worked so damn hard his entire life, barely could get $50 loan to help which was dear to pay back & probably w interest: what might all he have accomplished for himself/his family/descendants if he´d have had opportunity to accomplish something from all his hard work his entire life with something tangible to show for all his lifetime of hard work. Sad,shameful his teeth, clearly he got no help with dental care (or probably any doctor), must´ve been painful for him, in addition to all his futile work. IMHO the worst thing that has survived slavery is the lack of education/access to education; food insecurity; lack of prenatal care for mothers; & the profitable prison system. A white cop recently put it well: he tried to help a black teenager who´d have lost his job bc his taillight was out & he couldn´t afford it....Cop got suspended without pay, for helping a good neighborhood kid, instead of writing tickets etc which put money into the city/hands of local officials (recent incident). I think the cop was not in The South. Sorry if I´m not allowed to comment, did not mean to but in or be disrespectful:)

Protect this channel ♥️

48:46 Willie Ricks, the man who along with Stokely Carmichael created the slogan ''Black Power''

Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it. However, if you hold the past in your heart, you will never be free.

Satan means one who oppresses. We have had an oppressor for a long time.

this was going on in 1966! just the other day! this is ridiculous

That Was Filmed The Year I Was Born.

Retribution time is nigh!!! All praises to The Most High God of Israel!!!

So sad

In Swahili.. Wabariki Mababu Zetu.. ( Bless Our Ancestors )..

Thank you

I always told my daughter and son not to have kids until they were educated, had at least 200k saved up and a good job. I didn't say not have sex though, just no babies. Both are early 30's and no kids, no needless suffering and I can age peacefully. Never saw the logic of bringing kids into this mess of a world after I got educated after making my 2 mistakes. Not religious

People act like this is been a hundred years ago.. My brother was born in 64. My sister born in 68 and I was born in 1970....

I’ve seen this my entire life!

31:54 "...been in my folk´s since 1895..." What/who has? That shack (I assume former slave quarters? which clearly he never saw fit to make inhabitable or more comfortable in the least:( ) or the woman´s family (as in her ancestors who had been slaves, so that was why they were sharecroppers at his land)?

@ 58:40, when the older gentleman couldn't lift his eyes nor head high.....I'm sure it because he was feeling the heaviness and burden of not telling the truth about what he'd experienced.

I watch this documentary and see some of the reactions to the people in the film and I can't help but wonder, what changes did anybody expect to see in just one year following the marches, demonstrations, and public outcry? It takes MUCH MORE than the simple signing of documents and the public-facing fight for equality. Who, from the people who organized and led and spoke on behalf of equal rights/ voting rights/ the downtrodden black folks stayed behind to ensure the transition of the conditions from what was to what it should be? Once the fighting is over and the battle is won, who is assigned to implement the changes that are supposed to improve the lives of the impoverished? After the fighting is done, the fighters move on and leave the people to their own devices? At the start of the documentary, it was stated that millions of blacks moved north for work and opportunities. But several millions more blacks were still living in the same conditions that had been there before the marches and demonstrations. I'm curious to know what good became of the documentary? Did organizers return to the area on the behalf of the people? There's a cause for every fight. But there's not a fight for every cause. The ones that make the headlines get the publicity, but the failure seems to be that people get the notion that once the fight is won, the work is done. Unfortunately, once the fight is won, the fighters move on to the next fight and the ones that the fighters were fighting for are left behind with no understanding or power to do the work. I'd like to see the follow-ups to these documentaries to see how things progressed after this documentary was completed.

The fact that Black Americans are referred to as "The Negroes" in this film is indicative of a far deeper PLETHORA of problems we have only now in 2021 begun to seriously address. Why? Thank you for posting these videos. You have a very important channel. :-) Power on!

9:50 OMG!!!!

I once read that economics plays apart in racism along with other issues of racism and I find that very true today. Even in the twenty first century and even having a Black man elected as the president of the United States ,some White people for the most part resent Back people having more than they do or achieving success !!! I picked on this when a White mortgage banker from a well known bank ,tried to stick me with a predatory loan ,with all kinds of points.mortgage insurance,and an adjustable rate mortgage. She resented that my being a single Black man was purchasing a 3,000 square feet home and I could tell by her demeanor that she was very upset . What makes this even worst,is this was the bank that I was banking with and had all my money deposited with. She didn't know that I bought my first new home when I was 23 years old and I knew all the ins and outs regarding purchasing a new home Thus I walked away from the home and the B.S. mortgage and got myself a "White mortgage " with better financing ,better home and better location . All I have to say is that it was a blessing in disguise and I came out on top!!!

Tragic!😢😢😢

This is sooo Sad !!!. Thank God they Held on to The Only Thing That Matters !!. The Lord !. He’s coming soon and will bring Rewards to His People. It’s 2020 and things aren’t at Equal as it should be!. But Hold on People, Don’t Give Up. Stick to The Word of God Only !!. Saved to Serve Prophecy Again. Walter Veith Total Onslaught and Ivor Myers All on KZfaq!. God bless.

Alright y'all Family Friends let's do Whatever to Share love with One Another 🥥🍇💕 We are More than Conquers 😁💝💯🌴

Sad. Black folks have come a long way.

It’s hard to believe that school was in my lifetime. I was ten years old when this was filmed. I would have loved to see the teacher at work.

I want to watch this video but it is just too painful 😢. I was raised in the South but left at 20 years old. I lived in a small town. My family did not deal with direct racism, but heard a lot of things from others. I moved to Long Island, New York but experienced a different kind of racism. The Black Community and Black people as a whole go through a lot because of their skin color not their characters.

I mark today as June 17, 2022 and Justice for my people is the same now as back then , evasive and long coming.... for the sadness of the children's eyes says it all.

Look how far we’ve come! Smh

The power structures are still going strong as of 12/21/22. The debt is mounting.

Good evening young people @ ReelBlack , I am your friendly neighbor “ Over 60’s “ new followers , I just finished watching your documentary about the Deep South and it’s land owners and Our Grandparents as its care takers . I am not good at all at short sound bites your Gen. texts , especially when it’s matters close to my Heart and Soul. I’m not from the South , I’m a Cali. Bra. , but I kept hearing my subconscious speaking louder and louder as I listen to the middle to older white men in a group of about 6 and the one older black man seemingly 70ish , as he was “ skin-in and grinning, dropping his head at the exact moment he knew they were looking at him , all the while from a lifetime of practicing and perfecting his craft of “ mind- comp.” without missing a single que or glance , those “ Crackers “ were being played by the Chest master himself ! Bravo Mystro Bravo !! servant.

NET had some good content back in the day. Between this channel and Hezakya Films, y’all got these old documentaries on lock.

It's true very hard to overcome , but God knows your final destination of a man that belief in God

I grew up in Mississippi in the 1950s and 1960s and have always hated racists and racism, which was why I have always been a loner (because I wouldn't ascribe to the ignorance).

OMG...21:20

45min45 seconds... Preach.

24:14 thats right!!!!

The children in this video are alive now. And their children have children. Barely 3 generations.

This mirrors what's STILL going on in 2020!

Take a shot of whisky amd get ya nerve up..I dont need it but those of you who need it go ahead because i need you to STAND UP!! The BLACK women were in the forefront then too...2020 not much has changed since 1966 He said the vote will not work... never has!...THE LAWS HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE BLACKS

Unforgivable.

Think about it, this was just about 56 years ago this year. Those little kids if they're alive are now probably parents/grandparents themselves. Imagine what their lives might be now. My heart hurts just watching the suffering at the hands of white supremacists structures even back then. Shit is crazy man.

I still got family in Selma, Mike.

Tragically, this was the world & way of life in the Deep South of which Emmett Till was totally unaware….& which got him senselessly & needlessly murdered. But, dying a martyr, he unknowingly started a movement which shook this country to its core. RIP🙏

9:23 no one realized how lucky those babies are.

💕

Like tha PINE ridge TRIBE.
