History of the Civil Rights Movement
History of the Civil Rights Movement
Beginning with the end of the U.S. Civil War in 1865, African Americans toiled to reach equal status in the eyes of the law. Not only that, they also struggled against abuse - both physical and mental - by racist members of society. Starting with the right to vote, and then laboring to integrate schools and other aspects of everyday life, the Civil Rights Movement made huge strides over a century of work. While the crusade may never truly be over, many considered the election of the country’s first African American President to be a turning point in the battle. In this video, www.WatchMojo.com explores the history of the United States’ Civil Rights Movement.

Personally, I strongly agree with the objective of this social movement. Since we all have the same rights no matter what, and it is very important that we all have access to the rights that belong to us, and not discriminate against others because of their skin color, or any other trait and / or belief. We are all human beings and we all have the right to equality, and the same rights. We need to end racial segregation, the fact that we do not all have the same skin color does not make us different or better than others, we are all equal and we all deserve to be treated equally, fairly and with respect. First of all, we need existing rights to be fulfilled, to stop violating these rights in order to combat discrimination and treat everyone in the same way that we like to be treated.

In a nation of abject racial oppression by the majority, it's wholly implausible that Dr. King acquired such power and influence unless some white supremacists secretly supported him. Could not possibly. Only in tall tales do such feats of heroism take place. Historically, all black Southern churches were originally founded by former slaveholders. Thus no matter what line of bull Dr. King spewed to con everybody, he represented the interests of slavery proponents. Equal employment rights do not necessarily detract from this overarching mission. Slavery is a job. Sharecropping was a job. The only distinguishing factor between freedom and slavery is the amount of financial mileage one can obtain THROUGH employment. With this in mind, civil rights policies actually have a negative financial value for blacks on an aggregate basis. The Fair Housing Act diverts market competition away from predominantly black neighborhoods. This in turn depletes black homeowners of equity, which offsets and exceeds any benefit from blacks' enhanced employment opportunities. These policies arrived on the heels of the GI Bill, which enabled white only WW2 veterans to cheaply and conveniently purchase suburban homes. When blacks began clamoring to move into these same communities, the preexisting white homeowners effortlessly made a killing.

One of King's civil rights eligibility criterion also hints at his covert campaign to rehash the slave system. In one of his speeches, he decreed that blacks' love for our oppressors should be primarily impersonal and "spiritual" in nature, as opposed to emotional or erotic. Anyone who attempts to exert such intimate personal control over another is pro-slavery. Especially if they bid to incorporate these regulations into policy. I'm a black female who's mainly instinctively attracted to guys like my dad who is white, but I'm both too phenotypically black and too poor to merit exemption from this clause. However I'm also Otto von Bismarck's great-great-great granddaughter. No white woman's chastity and virtue is more important than mine. Not MINE it isn't.
Where can I find videos like this to use for my own projects? Royalty feee ?
Great summary, thanks
My teacher told me I should leave a comment below this video. One of the most interesting things for me was for me to see how terrible the situation for the black people was.I can't even imagne such things happen today.
Never mentioned in the Civil Rights Movement discussion is that Atlanta was known as " The Imperial City " of the Klan in the 20th century or that Georgia's lynching total (322) led all states during the 20th century, more than Mississippi (312) but the states which has been more often spotlighted for racist violence in the 20th century are strangely enough Mississippi and Alabama despite the fact that things were worse in Georgia.

From there the remaining said, 'this is a good idea, and 'maybe that was a good idea also' suppose it is looked on as learning from history and applying good philosophy. A shame the world could not have done without some of the tragic losses yet the gains to be celebrated. May GOD bless America.

Utterly magnificent. I'm torn between anger and rage, not for the civil rights movement, but also for the civil rights movement. The acceptance of people, black, white, or purple should be accepted. We bleed the same and are equal no matter the color. I'm filled with anger that black people were/are seen as evil, gang-bangers, 2nd class citizens, different, and less deserving. I am filled with anger that other human beings were/are discriminated for their color of their skin. That's like saying if you feel Fear or Happiness then you deserve to be treated than less-than. It's pathetic, a poor choice of an outlet to set free your emotions. Yes there are physical difference between a white man and a black man, but they still feel, think, and BLEED the same. Those thoughts, "well the black men steal" come from UPBRINGINGS. Where they are from, what they have learned, and what they have ENDURED. Far too much prejudice has been placed for the sole regard of skin color. This isn't "black and white," there are many more factors to be included. The rage I feel for someone, who can negatively treat an individual, burns brighter and stronger than hell and the sun itself. The beatings, the slurs, the outright inhumane experiences that were experienced are too difficult to describe in words. The burning passion and desire for equality will eventually outshine other difficulties, because eventually, we'll become one. Whichever religious, theoretical, or questioned belief you can think/or believe in, there will come a time where people of all skin tones come together.

What were 3 laws of Jim craws for scool
Nice to see people who devoted their lives and gave up much for the fight of the equality of their people rather then a life devoted towards the attainment of money and fame.
Skin color discrimination, also known as colorism, is a form of prejudice that is prevalent in many black families. This occurs when individuals are treated differently or valued more or less based on the shade of their skin. Lighter-skinned individuals are often viewed as more attractive, intelligent, and successful, while darker-skinned individuals are often perceived as less desirable and less valuable. This can have a profound impact on a person's self-esteem, mental health, and opportunities in life. Colorism is often perpetuated within families, with parents favoring lighter-skinned children or making disparaging comments about darker-skinned children. This creates a toxic environment where individuals are judged and valued based on their skin color rather than their inherent worth as a human being. It is important for individuals to recognize and challenge colorism within their families and communities, and work towards creating a more inclusive and accepting society.

i'm black and i'm against all of that especially affirmative action but i hate to say this but neither sides are progressing, we cannot progress untill there is 100% equality, both ethnicity and genders should treat eachother equaly but that will never happen, why? Because people in general don't want equality, they want their gender or race to be dominant and hate the rest, there cannot be equality until people realise that their not all that different, but that will never happen so we're fukd

“Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is - whether its victim is human or animal - we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing, we set back the progress of humanity.” Rachel Carson

Civil Rights is a basic right that's synonymous to human rights and constitutional rights that all countries must provide the important aspects of equality towards its citizens regardless of their race, color, creed, and beliefs for the simple reason that they are human beings. Therefore it has to be reminded every time and enforced whenever the right is forgotten or disregarded, because its also human to hate others and to be denying without thinking of its terrible consequences, that can leave a lasting scar to a nation's timeline if not history.
