I'll be the first to ask. As a Black American who was skeptical of the movement from the start; are there any accurate sources that show where the funds donated to BLM have been distributed to? I believe recently like this year or last year recently a headquarters in AZ was bashed for not distributing back to the black community which doesn't help the cause of helping black lives matter. Overall informative video besides that aspect not being covered only that is rose awareness of the inequality still faced by Black Americans.

If all you are worried about is money then you missed the point of Black lives matter and are no better than the slave masters who saw us as nothing more then wealth builders for them. Therefore, you didn't learn anything from this whole black history lesson.

We live in a capitalist society, so it's inevitable that individuals take advantage of a life-changing amount of money. The important point is that regardless, making contributions to the BLM movement requires more than just cash money donations.

I hope we get to see Clint again for more information on anything. I see Clint, I click. The information, his cadence and dedication is what helped me and my daughter gain some more insight into our history and present.

We ending the series on BLM but not talking about the fact that the money vanished?

Thank you to the writers and researchers, but also so very much to Clint Smith. No Crash Course series to date has required quite so much of the host. I'm so grateful for your honesty, willingness to share parts of your personal story, and for taking on the enormous burden of teaching this history (even if only at an introductory level) that all Americans need to understand in order to keep us working towards a more just world.

Can you guys also do a crash course on native/aboriginal/indigenous history specific to North America . It’s nice to see videos like this because unfortunately most of our schools only gloss over this subject. Also this video was great!

I second this, but for anyone who hasn't watched it, Knowing Better's recent 2+ hour video on the topic ("They Were Just in the Way | Indian Removal") is really good, and I think anyone who has enjoyed this series would appreciate it! Knowing Better's approach is very much in line with the approach here, with a clear style and focus on the details of the history and the ways the common narrative is both unjust and wrong (though with somewhat more sass :P).

I've been watching Crash Course for a decade at this point; since the very beginning. This is without a doubt one of the best series to date. All props to Clint and the amazing team that helped make this series happen, one of my absolute favorites!

I'm so sad.....why does it have to end Clint and Crash Course team???? I truly love y'all for putting this content out in the world and enlightening/informing the masses!!! Please bring Clint back to work on more content about our history.

Can you talk about the allegations BLM faced, and if they ended up being real or not? As someone who is not american i thinnk it would be an important subject to talk about.

There's a difference between BLM the organization (which was one of many organizations, iirc) and BLM the movement. Even if all of those organizations were gone, the movement would remain.

@yawpitchroll

Жыл бұрын

There isn’t one BLM organization, there are multitudes of organizations, and, as this episode makes extremely and undeniably obvious, the movement isn’t, by a long shot, just composed of members of any (or all) of those organizations… thus anyone raising allegations against BLM isn’t raising an important point, and certainly isn’t raising a well-targeted one, unless they do the homework to identify a specific organization and a specific allegation to be addressed. Or, in other words, what allegations, specifically, would you like talked about? And, while you’re at it, who made them and where did you hear of them?

Can't believe that we're at the last episode. This series has been an amazing ride from start to finish. Thank you Clint and everyone involved for giving us great content!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series on Black American History, Clint. I looked forward to each new release and truly appreciated all of the knowledge that you equipped me with.

Thank you so much for this great series! I've learned a lot from each episode, and often been promped to seek out more resources to learn more about the people and ideas you've discussed. Great job!

Clint, I hope you take great pride in this set of videos, it is some of the best documentary content I've seen. Thank you, and your team, for all the work you've done bringing it to us, not to mention that you did it during a pandemic.

Thank you for all that you have done in this series, to all the people working on it. Great series.

I loved this course in the Crash Course series! It is soooooo good and Clint Smith is such a great host! Thank you so much for this.

I loved this series, I have watched every episode. I have learned many things. I am Caucasian, mostly straight, a recovering tomboy 😉 and many other things. These are labels. My heart is the same as anyone else on this planet, this is what I try to live by. Thank you for doing this, be blessed 🤗😄

Thank you, Dr. Smith, for starting the process of "uncomfortable conversation" that we must have not just socially, but individually with ourselves - may this series be a vehicle for awareness and inspire justice in all who view it.

Thank you everyone that helped make this Crash Course!! It’s been so impactful these last 51 episodes. Thank you for all your hard work!!

Excellent series. Incredibly presented and written. Truly nailed this one, and it was so important that you did given the nature of it. Well done.

thank you for raising awareness, it is very important that people know what is happening. 💜

Thank you for the phenomenal work writers on this crash course. Most Importantly thank you to Clint Smith!

okay lets do more episodes of important people who aren't often spoken about. I've loved the "biographical" episodes!!! TYSM team, this is an amazing series. Please figure a way to get Clint and the team's work in front of us again soon!!!!

This crash course series is invaluable Truly essential The best crash course series ever I'm so grateful for it Thank you so much for this incredible work

It has been an honor to watch all 51 of these episodes and even as a Black Man I gained more knowledge about our history. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for the world to see!!!!!

Thank you Clint and the rest of the team for such an amazing series. I hope we get more of these History series in the future, especially since they highlight parts of history that are forgotten all too often.

A resounding thank you to you Clint and all of the folks at Crash Course for sharing knowledge, experience and research to us all. I'd like to thank every backer that gave this series - and so many others on Crash Course - a chance to exist in the first place. Thank you for the education I might've never received otherwise.

Thanks for this amazing series Clint and team. Its been truly eye opening!

This series was wonderful. I hope that it becomes used in class rooms in all of North America.

Thank you Clint and your crash course team, for everything

So thank for your teaching, Clint. Loved your books, poetry and nonfiction and loved hearing you teach!

what happened to John Green

Thank you for the information. We all have so much learning to do.

Thank you for all the hard work, Clint and team. It's been a joy to take this journey with you over these 51 episodes. Thanks again and best to you in the future.

This was one of the best series on the channel and Clint is an amazing teacher, I learnt so much and look forward to crash course history series to come

Thank you Clint, it was amazing to learn from you! This was a great series!

Thank you immensely Clint! You and the team should be proud of a well thought out series. I can't wait to hear and see you again.

Thank you for this amazing series! Thank you for teaching us what our schools didn’t. I truly appreciate it!

This was an amazing series and you worked so well in articulating every point. I truly hope you come back to do more because you're my favorite on this channel.

There is so much black American history that was overlooked in this series. I wished to hear of the Corps d'Afrique and the Buffalo soldiers.

Wow...can't believe that this series is coming to an end. Thank you for making it informative, manageable (in terms of content) and truthful. I've been watching CrashCourse since 2013 and I have to say that this is my favorite series. Thank you to the entire CrashCourse team, Thought Cafe for your graphics, the Green brothers, and especially thank you Clint. You definitely scintillated my curiosity about Black American history and made me want to learn even more. Though I'm not even American (proudly 🇻🇨) it was good to see that these series of videos were made highlighting the contributions that black people have made to the US, and the struggles that they face even to this day. Looking forward to seeing more from you Clint. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for your amazing work creating this series! I've learned so much with you, and it makes my heart glad knowing that many other people are also watching these videos and growing in awareness ❤

I loved this series and everything it taught me. I am very grateful for everything.

Lmao I'm for I but the organization ain't it bro

Thank you for this. When I left New York City in 2019, after 5 years of weekly protests trying and failing to get justice for Eric Garner (who was murdered one block from my house), I felt like I had failed him. Then, to see millions of young people marching around the world for George Floyd and finding justice, I felt all the earlier years work was worth it. Sometimes, the generation that fails, inspires the generation that wins. And the work continues.

This was a great series. Thank you for your insight and excellent research. I hope this inspires people to value and appreciate Black American history for years to come. I know it did for me.

Aw man I'm saddened to hear this is the last episode of this series, it's been an incredibly experience and man-oh-man I really, really hope we get to see more of Clint in the future!

This really should have been a 2 part Episode

Fantastic series, I eagerly await even more history lessons from you guys.

Dr. Smith, Thank you for sharing your time and your wealth of knowledge. Just know how much you and CrashCourse are appreciated. If time permits, perhaps you can share more information in the future. May God continue to bless you and your loved ones.

I will miss this crash course a lot, thanks for everything Clint Smith :(

Following this series has been so profoundly moving. I'm finishing these episodes more informed and with a VERY long reading list to keep me and my mind busy. Thank you so much to Clint and the rest of the Crash Course team for producing such stellar educational material!

Really enjoyed this series, thank you. Another brilliantly informed series for Crash Course. Well done Crash Course team. @Green brothers -more Clint is a must! He's made US Black history so very interesting and accessible. I'm from the UK and this has led me to research Black UK history. Will miss seeing updates come through for a new video.

Thank you for making this series and helping to educate us from outside of US about the complexity of the history.

Thank you Clint for this wonderful series. I have learnt so much. Love from Kenya! 🇰🇪

Thank you so much for this series! I watch a lot of Crash Course, mostly as a refresher on stuff I learned many decades ago, but this series has taught me so many new parts of America's history. Much of it has been uncomfortable, but I have to remind myself, my immense privilege needs to be challenged, and if being uncomfortable about my nation's history is the worst thing in my day, I am luckier than most. Thank you for this most engaging series.

Huge thanks to Clint and the Crash Course team. These videos are an amazing and eye-opening resource. Some of the best content on the channel in ages. I will miss Clint being on the channel.

Thank you Clint and everyone that helped put together this series! It is proving incredibly helpful for my US History classes and is just spectacular. Thank you!!!

Thank you for this series. And thank you, Clint, for the extra labor I'm sure some of it took. I appreciate it so much, as I'm sure many others do.

The whole series was fantastic! Thank you Clint and Crash Course team. I have a few books added to my list. I would love to see more added to this series too. Our schools left us woefully uninformed.

Thank you for this deep and informative series about Black American history. This was one of my favorite subjects during my first college semester. Even though I took the class to complete my general education for college, I became super interested in the subject. I appreciated being taught the truth other than half-truths or lies from previous history classes and segments during elementary, middle, and high school. I wish there was some way or someone who could do a series on Filipino history since I am inquisitive about the history of my own people.

I think this has been my favorite Crash Course so far. The unflinching look at all the horrors that have been visited upon the Black community since the first slaves were brought to Jamestown, as well as seeing how everything builds on what came before - nothing exists in a vacuum. The Civil War didn't happen out of nowhere, and neither did the Civil Rights Movement or Black Lives Matter. Thank you so much for taking us all on this journey, Clint Smith!

Thank you so much for this I’ve never missed a course and always looked forward to them!

Thank you for all these videos. I feel like I got so much more out of this than the majority of my formal public education.

Absolutely amazing series. This has been captivating from start to finish. I've been badgering my husband to watch this and after all that he stumbled over it on his own and is now going through the process of changing his perceptions of history. Thank you so much.

Thank you Clint & Crash Course. We really appreciate this series & learned a lot. We will miss it

I've recently found the Crash Course series and have thoroughly enjoyed learning about Black History. Everyone on the Crash Course team did an excellent job!

The way this whole series has been delivered and written has been incredible. Major props!

Thank you, Clint Smith and Co. for this copiously informative, insightful, and entirely engaging project, "Crash Course: Black American History". Thank you for your commitment and consistency. This body of work is a legacy worth being proud of - the telling of our stories which far too infrequently are told or honoured - and all in a single, authentic anthology. Thanks again. Many blessings.

I would love a season 2 for this series, Clint was a great host.

Thank you for this amazing series. Thank you, Dr. Smith, for these great lectures and for sharing your insights. I hope we continue to see more of this depth and nuance for other important topics of a similar nature in future courses.

I've really appreciated this series. My grandson is in high school right now. In Florida. I want to share this series with him. Black History is important no matter what our governor says. 😢
