The TRUTH behind Central Park, Lake Lanier and Dodger Stadium
Рет қаралды 893,861
Күн бұрынHi friends, happy Thursday!
Welcome to the Dark History Podcast. Today we continue on the path of how we can’t have nice things. Because our history is dark and shady. And that includes the history of Central Park, Lake Lanier, and Dodger Stadium. Or how they were known to the communities that called them home: Seneca Village, Oscarville, Palo Verde, La Loma, or Bishop.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more dark history.
You can find Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my KZfaq for the visual side of things.

As someone who grew up in South Carolina and frequented many lakes in the area, we were always told not to boat on or swim at Lake Lanier growing up because it was haunted. That “a spirit would reach up and grab your ankle to drown you.” I never did because of this. There are fatalities nearly every year at the lake. We were never told why though, and it wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned the truth.

It’s so unfortunate that they don’t teach kids this in schools. A lot of research or things I’ve learned, like this, was after graduating. And one thing my government teacher told us the last day of school my senior year was “Everything you learned up until this point in regards to history, was wrong. Every invention. Everything. Research for yourself.” And I didn’t know what he meant until I started researching for myself. Like Black Wall Street etc. Loved this video ❤️❤️

And while they're at it why don't they give the Native Americans back their land or compensate the families. Native Americans were the original owners of the land. Every ethnic group in this country has been treated unfairly in one way or another, including the whites. The things that were done are disgusting but the past can not be changed, we need to learn from it. There are still people from EVERY ethnic group that are not being treated equally, including the white people!!!!

I grew up on Lake Lanier and lived in it for several years. It’s had a lot of crazy stuff. But It covers more than Oscarville. It goes mostly into Hall county where I grew up but borders multiple other counties. And it’s true that when the lake goes down you can see roads, concrete steps and foundations. My mom was a child when it was flooded and she talked about full houses and chicken houses that were still standing. There’s been several drownings of experienced divers and swimmers drowning because if getting caught up in chicken wire, bobbed wire and stuff like that. I will also say that Forsyth is well known in this area as a county with a lot of racial injustices.

We so far behind we can't get caught up without reparations, it is what it is and I don't know why people that are privileged want other people to be unprivileged it's disgusting 😱🥺
@GenuineUntelligence Жыл бұрын
@@raylady0 the sad truth is that people often don't understand what privilege actually is, they think people are accusing them of having everything handed to them or some sort of advantage and that their life is easy when in reality people can experience oppression and privilege at the same time. Myself for example, I am in a position of privilege because I am white, but I am in a position of oppression because I am female and because I am disabled... There are many white people who are poor who get deeply offended when people call them privileged because they see how hard their life is and don't understand that privilege isn't an advantage, it is simply that there are a few less barriers Infront of them. If you were to imagine a white guy who became disabled, lost his job and ended up homeless it's much easier to understand how framing white privilege as an advantage is not going to help because he certainly won't feel it, and it's difficult to acknowledge that there are a couple less barriers infront of you when you can't see that space for all the other barriers you do have...

Bailey, I appreciate you bringing greater awareness to these issues! I will say though, that I lived in the deep south in the early 00's and the kkk was still very much alive and thriving. They handed out their disgusting pamphlets and business cards, held marches through predominantly black neighborhoods. Schools, churches, apartment complexes, etc. were still very much segregated. My adopted dad wouldn't go out in public (grocery store, etc) because he didn't want to be harassed. We would get swarmed by police and placed in handcuffs with our vehicle ransacked just for "mixing races". I'd like to think it's different now but it wasn't that long ago. Maybe our generation and newer generations are putting an end to it. I can hope! 💜

My districts schools are doing everything they can to keep CRT out of schools. For me at least, I can use this series to educate my daughter about our country’s mistakes instead of trying to paint the US as a false utopia. I would rather explain to my daughter that some people can be evil towards others over something as trivial as melanin instead of her being taught that racism died during the civil rights movement and now racism doesn’t exist anymore. The deepest roots of our country are based on racist ideologies and my daughter will grow up educated about these issues. Thank you Bailey for keeping this series educational and digestible enough for all ages to understand.
