This whole part. Review Malcolm's "Who taught you to hate yourselves" speech

There are plenty of black womenswear who don’t overdo the cosmetics. Stop putting everyone in a box.

Actually they did wear wigs back then and they polished their fingernails they didn't have surgical body things done to themselves other than piercings however wigs fingernail polish and makeup was used back however most people like their natural beauty

Here, hear!

It was about much more than validation. At the core, the struggle is about receiving some small measure of recompense for work and contributions to the society. Sort of like, the same or similar issue for the revolutionary war, taxation without representation. Paying into a system that gives you nothing in return. Or depositing money in the bank and not being able to make a withdrawal. The struggle cannot be reduced to simply asking for validation.

Back then people were happy to sacrifice, in order to provide an improved life for their children. Most people's families came to America dirt poor, not speaking the language, but they endured because they knew their children could integrate and become a member of this society. America can be very harsh to those who want to get more out of society than they put into it, but warmly embraces those it recognizes as wanting to honestly contribute.

Blacks gave back every advancement they earned. The people in this video would be horrified by what they saw today.

Never satisfied.... complaining when blacks are portrayed as uneducated and incapable of performing at a high level yet also complaining when a film FROM 1946 (!!!!) shows how blacks are just as smart, talented, and capable as any white person and can do all the professions that white people do and are destined to help lead our nation into the future, again this was in 1946!!!.

Facts...celebrities are the highest form of societal sellouts in the AA community. Fame is the devil's game while education can change a Nation.

You are absolutely RIGHT!!!!!

RocknRollDina Did you have to mention Nicki and JZ? Cannot stand those two. You are absolutely correct they are shown in a more positive light. I know for sure that blacks back then did not hate white people on a personal level. I watched this other video and was surprised to learn that men of color were the first real cowboys. Photos and all. Harvest of Shame is one to watch.

I definitely agree!!

Thank u Riogi

I agree with you.

its not too late..

Ya'll are FUCKING STUPID

There you go! Yes Lord

*INTEGRATION DESTROYED US EVEN MORE*

They are...they are separate within the school. Most black kids are pushed of to special ed classes and white kids are pushed towards preAP classes. So yeah schools are segregated.

They still are

True. I didn't see a single weave.

Most of them looked mixed tbh

mplsridah OR MAKEUP LIKE DRAG QUEENS

Black women still is beautiful!! So beautiful that other race women want to look like them. Perhaps you are speaking on the black women that have image issues.

Why? Isn't your welfare and foodstamps enough. You need more money for blond straight wings and ass injections? I will literally quit work and pay zero tax before I ever pay for reparations.

@@nikkibest5010 Typical response.

I am HU!

😆😆😆

Kenneth Danzy you are correct! straight game against land ownership & farming which is real wealth.

@@pablotolson7728 not so much now, thanks to trumps trade war

I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognized this! Black people were robbed of millions of acres through various methods, including "education".

Black people were actively taught to abandon agriculture and manufacturing.

That’s why we need to grow our own stuff in our yards. I know you are from Albany and I’m in Syracuse. So, we can grow apples, pears, carrots, berries, even watermelons, peppers and peas, among others. It can be done.

Facts

Yes favoritism

This is all propaganda

Remember these were educational films, and I think they were trying to normalize the issue to American youth. In the context of its time, it's an early step meant to break down the walls of dissasociation that had been created through years of segregation.

We are Africans, that's how we referred to ourselves.

I noticed the very light skinned blacks and limited darker blacks..had to look hard to see if some were truly black.

Thanks for the love. I am by no means speaker for all blacks, but i would tend to agree with you. In 2018, legislation changes and social attitudes seem to be reversing many of the advances Black people fought and died for. In sociological terms, the Civil Rights era birthed “The Black Underclass” with desegregation, upper and middle class blacks could move into white neighborhoods. Those who couldn’t or wouldn’t were left in all black neighborhoods without resources or role models. When areas were segregated, Black folks had their own morticians, doctors, teachers and lawyers. So young people could see them and aspire to be successful. The uprisings in the 60s as well as development of interstate highways (many of which intentionally used eminent domain to displace black home owners without adequate compensation). The crack epidemic. Reality TV. Gangsta Rap. Cointelpro. Jerri Curls. All forms and levels of genocide. But, that being said, there have always been smart people and ignorant people. We are living through a strange time where ignorance seems to be rewarded. In the past, you really had to over achieve to “make it.” While the keys to success are still the same (education, hard work), we are all conditioned for immediate gratification. But I like today better than the past. I wish there was less waste and less pollution and more giving back. But the fact that you can literally google Black Underclass or New Jim Crow on KZfaq, and get the same information that college kids a are paying for can only be a good thing.

The sad truth about it is, the so-called "White Jesus" had us more united and productive than we are today.

@@yahunx1912 It had nothing to do with a White Jesus. It was segregation! WE HAD TO DO FOR OURSELVES! We couldn't go into white owned businesses, so WE HAD TO CREATE OUR OWN! MLK realized the day before he was shot that he had fucked up. He told Harry Belafonte "I fear I have lead my people into a burning house." Which meant that he finally realized black people are going to be flocking to white businesses to spend their money to try out this newfound "freedom". It wasn't freedom at all, it was the destruction of the black community. It's now 2019, and black people hardly own shit in this country!

@@yahunx1912 And speaking of "White Jesus". He didn't exist: **Both Hebrews and ancient Egyptians were BLACK:** www.pinterest.com/garygarrett353/blacked-out-through-whitewash/ Throughout the Bible Hebrews were often mistaken for Egyptians: For example in Acts 21:38 Paul was asked "Art thou an Egyptian?" He answered "I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia." In Exodus 2:19 Moses is mistaken for an Egyptian. In Genesis 42:8 Joseph was not recognized by his brothers. (because his skin was the same color as the Egyptians.) www.pinterest.com/garygarrett353/ancient-egypt/ According to the Bible the Hebrews will return to Israel when God, (Not the British government, the U.N. and the Rothschilds.) gathers them and sets them back in their land. Isaiah 60:18 "Violence shall no more be heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise." *Ask yourself:* Are the Jews occupying that land today living in peace? *Listen to these people from all over the world:* www.pinterest.com/garygarrett353/bringing-out-the-truth/ *More Proof:* www.pinterest.com/garygarrett353/roman-catacombs/ *Images from the Bristol Psalter:* www.pinterest.com/garygarrett353/the-bristol-psalter/ *Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 tells you who those people are occupying Israel today.*

@@yahunx1912 Black people are living under the curses of Deuteronomy. Read Chapter 28 verses 15 through 68. It tells you all about slavery, and the condition were in today.

@Andrea Mendenhall The goddamned term "Middle east" didn't even exist when "Jesus" was walking on this planet. It was a term invented in 1904 by a white man named Thayer. And another thing, how could this man's name have been Jesus, when the letter J didn't even exist until 1524?

Doloris Thomas I am not being combative....Nor am I challenging Your post....You say it seems to be fake Because they knew they were being filmed....Can you please elaborate on your statement..

Again, I think people hear what they want to hear. I heard a narrator speaking positively about a group of people who had extremely hard living circumstances and history but were striving with each generation to make progress. A people that loved their family, their community and God. A people that valued education and encouraged talent. But of course, to you, that's "low key condescending".

@@sandracheeks1811 fuk education, agricultural land is what they lost for education and highway

@@melohelloo1248 I missed that in the video.

You saw happy slaves??? I saw a people that were struggling and bring up their families with pride and values. I saw respect for education and desire for progress. I saw leaders, not slaves.... maybe we watched different movies, or maybe you only see what you want to see.

Blah, blah, blah.... you lost me at "wit". If you don't care enough to write well, I refuse to read your comment.

@@sandracheeks1811 wat i think happened was u saw how lengthy it was n decided against it but ill help you out if u read the last 2 paragraphs my last example and conclusion you will get what this movie is to me

Anjel Williams The length wasn’t the decider...that length with horrible grammar and partial words would have driven me nuts though. I respect others enough to communicate clearly with them regardless of their opinions.

Anjel Williams Also, if there are 2 groups of the same race who have differing opinions on an issue than it’s not a racial issue-it’s a social or political issue.
