Really that's what you got out of what Byron Donalds said wow... I guess it's true what Pastor Manning said about his people which wasn't very pleasant. Which I'll repeat what he said in a much nicer way than what he had to say about his people.. You just can't fix stupid... So stop wasting our time and energy trying.. What Byron was saying is black people during the Jim Crow era were tough cookies compared to what we see from the black communities today with the victim hood mentality mindset, lack of responsibility and accountability,, lack of effort in their education, unable to be self reliant, generational welfare dependents, always expecting a hand out instead of a hand up. always has an excuse why they can't do something because something is always standing in their way, always someone else's fault. Black people during the Jim Crow era had morals, family values, respect, valued their education, self reliant, financially better off then than blacks are today, home and land owners, a better work ethic despite all that they had to endure ... What i took from it was him basically saying black people today are a bunch of pansy snowflakes who have a meltdown at a drop of a hat. Who can't wipe their own butts without someone else wiping it for them who display nothing but weakness .

Slavery didn't really have anything to do with immigration laws in the 1960s. That was actually due to eastern European immigrants who were part of the Democratic party. They were the main ones pushing for the end of immigrant discrimination. That coupled with the fact that the US was living in a time where several regions of the world, including Africa, were gaining their independence and the US didn't want to look bad to those countries that it wanted to have trade relationships with. So it was a combination of internal pressures from mainly European and some Caribbean African immigrants coupled with external pressure from other countries like Mexico and others and the desire not to look bad in front of newly independent nations in places like Africa and Latin America that ultimately induced the US to allow for more relaxed immigration policies. It really didn't have anything to do even with what most civil rights activists were talking about never mind anything about slavery.

Then one day years later during COVID-19 I saw this lady named Professor Karen Hunter and Dr Greg Carr and started watching and it just refreshed all that I had learned and I was like ok I'm down with this then I saw Dr Greg Carr on Roland Martin and I knew I was HOME haven't left yet ❤❤❤❤

The thing about Trump is he is bringing the worst people to the forefront and now we know how people truly think. I am thankful for the people who are sharing their experiences about Jim Crow because I can only imagine how horrible some events were for them. Even though we can find a way to love and be happy with each other in the worst of circumstances during that time, it was really scary and you did feel terrorized. My great-grandparents were run out of a small town in Texas after building several businesses that were burned down by a white mob. They moved and were able to build again.

Tell this guy to look up "the man in the house" rule. Yes the impacts showed itself during the Civil Rights era. That was just a timing issue. Black men came back from WW2, couldn't find a job, then couldn’t stay with their family. It took a generation OF THIS JUST SPECIFIC policy to impact the black nuclear family.

This is done so that it will eventually phase out allowing them to control the narrative of American history.

Speak Professor Hunter…💕

This whole Donalds Jim Crow apologist travesty only points out how important it is to EDUCATE OURSELVES and EACH OTHER in regard to our history. I'm glad he's being exposed but, I wonder, how many others like him are out there promoting ignorance, unseen and unheard by media, setting the stage for something like this to happen again. Sadly, when my grandparents were still alive, I didn't think to ask them about their experiences of Jim Crow when they were young. I'm left with asking my elderly mother about her experiences and at least gaining some insights about what she remembers from back then. To say that I have benefited from the Civil Rights Act (which I have lived entirely under) is an understatement. I love road trips and I feel I can go just about anywhere in this country. I always wondered why my grandfather hated travel and often stayed at home. My mother recounted to me that when Grandpa was young, he had to drive at night so white cops couldn't mark him as a black driver and pull him over to harass him. When Grandpa had to stop for groceries and gas, he had to enter the station through the back door. Traveling, for my grandparents, was an ordeal and an exercise in public humiliation. I'm thankful I don't have to put up with that BS and wouldn't want a return of that time for myself or those who come after me. Because of the history I've learned from my elders, I don't have time or inclination to listen to court jestering buffoons like Byron Donalds or Tim Scott. It's fine to learn history from a book but it's also important to hear history from those who lived it.

My sister I pray that you are blessed here in this realm and if there is a realm named "Heaven" all the days of our lives upon "EARTH". Thank you Professor Hunter for your grace& kindness!!! You give us strength to make a way out of no way!

😂I love Karen's reaction to "I did my research". People who actually read legitime, verifiable work, do not say "I did my research" because they're not the ones doing the research. The journalist, scientist, or whoever wrote the essay, article, or book did or compiled the research. We're simply using their work.

Yes mam…In 1985 I packed my bags hoping to be a walk on in track and field at a small Baptist College in Charleston SC I graduated …Today my 21 year old daughter text sent announcing she will be teaching 9th graders in Memphis Tennessee teacher’s Residency. This is the Lords doing. We must remember as a people full circle ⭕️ moments. Karen you are challenging us to take a look back so to propel us forward ❤❤❤

Dad not in the family is a talking point. There were racist laws in place that took the fathers out of the home. It wasn’t Democratic programs put this in place. It was so many other things.

I LOVE that at 1:46 these folks NEVER talk about WHAT ELSE broke up the black family

A lot of these young folks just don't get it because they don't know about how impactful the civil rights act was and have gotten too comfortable. They are in for a rude awakening.

Congressman Bryon Donalds should watch old movies like "Sounder", " The Help" and "Nothing but a Man" to gage what JIM CROW was like!!

Donalds doesn't deserve that title you just mentioned or be acknowledged

Them folks got him like a lot of other get on your knee for a pat on the head black people.

Ms. Hunter is preachin today! My parents grew up in the South during Jim Crow. They've shared some of their experiences with us, but they don't talk about it alot. My grandmother used to talk about being afraid at night and sleeping with the shot gun because you just never knew when the night riders would show up at your home. Black families were close together because that's the only way they survived!

I feel like when alot of ppl think of the past, they think of it as being just like today but with less shit like cell phones..ect..ect.

I am 45 years old (well, about to be) from Birmingham, Alabama. I have stories of my own, not to mention the ones I grew up hearing from my teachers, my pastor who did his pastoral fellowship under Dr. King at Dexter Ave. Baptist in Montgomery (Rev. Warnock, the senator, did his pastoral fellowship under my pastor because of this), and so many countless adults that were part of the children’s marches. Dynamite Hill, so many bombs that most of the older people who lived there during that time have/had PTSD. My history teacher spoke of it often. I asked the questions, I paid attention. Trying to teach my children this stuff is HARD. I remember yt kids my age growing up HATING Dr. King, where now they pretend like all blacks should be more like him. Their parents hated him because he was disruptive. His movement was peaceful, what he was doing, not so much. My history teacher was part of the children’s marches in Bham. She said those fire hoses would blow the skin off of their arms and legs, not to mention being bitten by dogs. Then, they didn’t get any medical treatment. It was right to jail. My dad said if your parents had a decent job and one of their children was found to be participating, they’d lose their job and be hard pressed to find another. We grew up with these stories because they wanted us never to fall into the trap of waxing nostalgic of those times. This is the problem with history of this country being white washed, so that when the son of Jamaican immigrants, whose lineage never experienced any of this southern ish can look back and say, oh it wasn’t that bad. But yes, yes it was. It was THAT bad. I can’t imagine having to leave my whole family and never see them again or be lynched because I looked a white person in the face, or didn’t cross the street because they were coming down the sidewalk. Jim Crow was dehumanizing. And what ever Y-T said, WENT, with no accountability but your black body might pay in death. Cullman, Al just took down their “sundown town” sign in like 2020 and it probably was swept away by a tornado not taken down.

Byron is a yes person, whatever you say.

I’m about to turn 72 in July. When I was a senior in high school in 1970 I went to a newly integrated high school. Right before I graduated my dean of girls called me into her office and had my school file in front of her. She told me she knew I wanted to be a nurse. Since I was three years old I always wanted to be a nurse. She told me I could never become a nurse because my math scores weren’t good enough. That day was like someone hit me in my heart. And for years I believed her. It made me so sad and hurt. I carried her voice in my head for years until a traumatic event in my life snapped me out of that spirit of defeat and doubt in myself. In 1985 at 33 years old I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, in 2005 I received a double Masters Degree from Wheaton College, Illinois. Sometimes it takes a life tragedy to turn you around and make you see you’re better than that what evil woman attempted to steal from your future! I won!

Please REPORTERS get that kind of person to HELP US REMEMBER AND LEARN AGAIN. SO MUCH GOING ON WE NEED THESE TYPES OF LESSON TO REMEMBER. PLEASE YOU AND HER ARE IMPORTANT TO US. THE KIDS and YOUNG ONE'S MUST HEAR THIS. 🎉MANY OLD NEED TO REMEMBER THESE LESSON OF JIM CROW. CHANGING LAWS AGAINST BLACK CITIZENS WHO LIVE HERE ALL THIER LIFE'S!!🎉PLEASE MORE LESSON🎉THIS WILL HELP 2024🎉THANK YOU ❤

Karen, your conversation with the 2nd caller hit the nail on the head because I believe it’s all systematic. A lot of those who lived through and experienced the Jim Crow are dying off. Along with their kids and grandkids not talking about it, you have politicians and school board members making a grand effort to eradicate it from books, schools, media and music. This is all done in hopes of it phasing out in a way that they maintain and control the narrative when it comes to American history.

I’m from SC and up until about 10 years ago a white guy who lived on Main Street in my town not only used confederate flags as curtains but also kept a black doll hanging from a tree by noose.

The nerves to call, and get mad when being asked a very and respectful question?

WAKE UP AMERICA VOTE SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

When my mother was alive, I used to ask questions. Like what happened to all the Black businesses?

I wish I could like this video ten times. I hope everyone is listening. This year is no joke.

Vote Demorcrat for every office on the Ballot. A Super Majority is needed in The House of Reps & The Senate. As many Democratic Governors as we can vote into office is very important to accept & carry out the policies that are turned into laws by Biden/ Harris.Their are 10 states with some of the poorest people in the nation that do not have The ACA (Obama Care) Which basically comes down to 10 Republican Governors that will not take free money from The Federal Gov. It would help poor people & everyone else in those states, they will be able to have Medicaid or Affordable Health Care. Aswell the state will have a boom in Health Care Jobs ! Some states appoint the Secretary of State. But other states the Secretary State are electable positions (Btw, The Sec. of State calls the election in their States🤔). All State & Local positions are equally important. Political positions are designed to work hand & hand. We would be at a deficit if one or more of our fingers are missing !!! Same premise. 🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙🗳💙

My late mother, who grew up in Charleston, recounted that she had to step into the gutter whenever a White person approached on the sidewalk. She lived to be 93, and that experience and others left a lasting impression on her.

Thank you, Karen! I am so glad you challenge those who are out here just spewing mess under the guise of “their opinion!” This has got to stop! I love how you say if you can’t do….various tangible things needed to build the Black community-THEN, VOTE! Get informed first.

Cj The main thing is Byron did not experience the Jim Crow era I am a 75 year old from Texas.I was born during Jim Crow, raised during Jim Crow & lived during Jim Crow right here in Texas.

Byron Byron you were caught. You cannot take it back.

Did this guy (Byron Donalds) ever have a word or listened to Rep. John Lewis? The history of Jim Crow was right before him. That dude is such a disgrace.

It is imperative that we continue to talk about our atrocities, especially during the 'Jim Crow era,' the way the Jews talk about their's

Well said beautiful spirit Karen 👍💯👏🙏

ALL THIS PROF. HUNTER, AMEN, THANK YOU, I needed and felt this response, JERSEY IN DA HOUSE!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥

Very good conversation. Thank you Karen

Make sure you vote, go donate to a pantry and participate in the U.S. Census. When it comes around.

What people don't realize is that marriages were high for all races back then because of the limited rights women had and marriage to a man was viewed as "that's what women and men did" back then. That didn't mean they were happy. Furthermore, there would be higher black marriages because of segregation. And they keep hopping on single black women/single black mothers. We are single because we are choosing peace over foolishness. Now, we must take care of ourselves as black women, but we are choosing PEACE.

We can't talk it because our parents wouldn't... They didn't want us to know or ever experience those feelings.

Soon as you push back,😂😂😂they fall apart.

Cj Byron was born in 1978 a year before my daughter was born.She passed away in 2015 at the age of 35 years old.What she learned about Jim Crow I explained it to her,about Dr.MLK Jr,KKK,etc.

I love you Dr Hunter. Continue to put the ignorant and self haters on notice that they are not as smart as they may think that they are. They go unchecked spewing uninformed opinion and when confronted cannot stand up to question or scrutiny.
