my dad was born in 1915 and was born and raised in Mississippi. I didn’t learn about the history of the south until the 70’s & 80’s and it was not something that was discussed at all in our household. learning about the type of environment my Dad grew up in it always amazed me that he never had a bad word to say about white people and was always quiet and dignified. he has passed on but I admire and love him and try to pattern my behavior to his.

The DEMOCRAT Party was founded by slave owners. In his book "Negro President - Jefferson and the Slave Power," Pulitzer Prize winning historian Garry Wills writes that party founder Thomas Jefferson and his fellow DEMOCRAT Party politicians had a political "indebtedness to the slavemasters." Wills notes that while "everyone recognizes that Jefferson depended on slaves for his economic existence, fewer reflect that he depended on them for his political existence. Yet the latter was the all-important guardian of the former." The party’s first six political platforms from 1840-1860 supported slavery. Seven DEMOCRAT presidents owned slaves. Democrats in Congress opposed the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery, the 14th amendment that gave Blacks due process and the 15th Amendment that gave them the right to vote.

Mississippi has definitely come a long way, for which I'm thankful. I will share the only negative experience I had in the south was in Montgomery, Alabama (another area known for it's brutal treatment of blacks and anyone associated with them during the civil rights era). I was at a family reunion there in 2009 and stayed at a hotel that most of the areas were rented out for our reunion (which included the pool and certain dining areas). A middle aged white woman actually approached one of my family members and wanted us to leave the pool area so her kids could use it. Needless to say, that didn't happen. She stomped off, pissed off, but yes, there are still some ignorant people out there who feel they are better than others.

How did they think they could take tax money from Black citizens but prevent them from benefits? Ross Barnett speaking about Blacks obeying the law, while supporting lawless whites.

I remember traveling by car through Mississippi and Louisiana as an eight year old child, spring of 1961. Being from Queens, New York, and white, I went to school with black kids, played with a handful of black kids in my neighborhood, and never really gave it much thought. I saw for the first time restricted signs, “Colored,” “White Only,” on public restroom doors, at hotels where we stayed, and on restaurants. We didn’t normally stay in hotels or eat out, so these were a treat. At one point, I asked my mother if we had brought Donna with us, (a black girl I played with) couldn’t eat there since she’d be our guest. Mom hushed me up in a hurry and said she tell me later. When I persisted, I got the “look” that meant “shut up and mind your elders.” It wasn’t until we met Dad on base (Navy) in Florida that the matter was spoken of. The consensus was that it wasn’t right, however, we would keep our mouths shut in public because some people there had resorted to killing over it. We were individually expected to speak and act respectfully to all people, whether black, white, oriental, or whatever, just as at home. I was left feeling very disturbed that there were murders about such a thing making it dangerous to mention, but like always, strong feelings were not discussed or outwardly expressed in our family. I did as I’d learned to do, think about it, then put it in an imaginary box and put the box on the back shelf in the closet. “To Be Dealt With at a Later Time”

The left around the world loathe America, and it is hard to imagine why the American left would differ in this one way from fellow leftists around the world. Leftists often take offense at having their love of America doubted. But those left-wing descriptions of America are not the only reason to assume that the left has more contempt than love for America.

that wasn't the case when I started school...once we did integrate, it was a bit tumultuous at first, but it did seem eventually to "stabilize" - but that's not saying racism and the subsequent tension was eradicated...the strategy to incrementally implement desegregation in the schools first was a wise one, with the belief that children are more malleable than, say, adults whose entrenched beliefs seemed to "ossify" and were next to impossible to overcome...by the time I graduated high school, some of my best friends were black...we had a great time together...of course, we all went our separate ways to get on with our lives...but we still cross paths on occasion...I had a class with a beautiful black girl when I was at the University of Southern Mississippi...I wanted to date her, but she refused my intent, and I always got the impression that I was just "too white" for her (lol), i.e., just another bigoted redneck...but I wasn't then, and I'm not now...I wasn't b/c I'm ugly; it's b/c stereotypes can be ugly...society is still reeling from racism.

love and defense of segregation was spoken so freely. This stuff runs deep and is still around.

In the aftermath, authorities were severely criticized for favouring the white population during relief operations. Thousands of African American plantation workers had been forced to work shoring up the levees near Greenville, Miss. Then, as the waters rose, they were left stranded for days without food or drinking water, while white women and children were hauled to safety. Young white Boy Scouts guarded African Americans at gunpoint. Black people were forced to participate in relief efforts, and to clean up flooded areas while receiving inferior provisions for themselves.

Also, though I know this refers to Mississippi, Rosa Parks made her stand (no pun intended) in Montgomery, Alabama. The city eventually let people ride wherever they wanted, and that was more than eight years before federal civil rights legislation was passed.

The Army ended up sending him to Germany instead of Korea. To his amazement, he found himself a sought after dance partner by the (white) German frauleins.

I went to Medgar Evers home maybe 2 years ago. Ut was moving to stabd in the same spot where he was killed

I grew up in TN during the 60s and integration. I remember going to see the movie "The Bible with my mother and grandmother. I remember watching the NAACP protest peacefully because blacks had to sit in the balcony. I was only 7 or 8 and didn't understand everything but felt change was coming. About 50 yards from that protest still stands a statue of Gen. Hatton CSA.

How did you enjoy the whites only section?

What's very concerning is we still hear the same rhetoric they used back then to oppress people.

"The more things change the more things stay the same" But, Jackson, MS is over 75% Black now... Go figure 🤔

Passages of the Old Testament were used to justify holding people in subjugation as Slaves-proof that it was written by men, no Divine Creator would have decided to bring about a race of people for another race to abuse, murder, rape, and enslave.

I would’ve liked to have seen a follow up video with the people that were interviewed in the street, especially the guy that said “chase em out”. Wonder if he changed his mind years later.

Well, Jackson is about 80% Black now. White people have fled out of the city, the school system is atrocious, the crime is very high, especially murders. So I would guess the guys answer would be the exact same.

DEMOCRATS have been solely responsible for defending slavery, starting the Civil War, opposing reconstruction, lynching blacks, founding the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws and segregation, poll taxes and literacy tests. The Party voted against the 13th amendment (end slavery), 14th amendment (black citizenship), and 15th amendment (black right to vote), filibustered the 1960 Civil Rights Act (elimination of poll taxes), and tried to filibuster the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 60 days, the longest filibuster in Senate history.

@Curtis Liner, You got that way backward. The liberal democrats are the ones that don't have a problem with races mixing. just look at how few black americans are in congress as republicans, and how many as democrats. The racist switched teams when a certain democrat politician endorsed desegregation. Now the republican party is almost all white, and the democrats in 2008 around 60% white if I remember correctly. but somehow I think you already know this, and you're just trying to spread disinformation.

@Curtis Liner You are so full of it. The far right consists of the nazis, kkk, christian militias all of which would love to start a race war with whites vs. blacks, muslims, and jewish people, anyone not white basically. Most of these groups are on government watch lists for prior terrorist activities. Your last comment is itself full of racist terms. The alt-right is all about spreading disinformation and that's all you have. You aren't fooling me. I i didn't say there are more liberal black officials, I said there are more Democrat elected black officials. Everyone knows that the republicans have gone way overboard with gerrymandering requiring democrats to lead by 10 to 20 percent in order to win in many districts. But Trump's election has people woke. Republicans are going to get hit hard in the 2020 election, just like how the democrats won 40 seats in the house during midterms. And before you start calling me a liberal, I'm actually not. I'm pretty conservative. I've voting both republican and democrat, even splitting my votes between parties based on who I thought was best for the job at the time. I've never registered for either party, but have voted in elections since 1980. And by the way, I'm white and lived in the south most of my life, and I've heard the true racist talk from people that think I must share their ideas for whatever reason. I know which party the racists are in, the republican party, or the Trump party.

More African Americans are democrats and only a very few are republicans now. It's no secret who the KKK, Nazi sympathizers, and Christian Militias support. They make clear they are Trump fans and they vote far-right. What is "manipulhthem" and do you meaning by "overcompensate the fact"? Are you a russian troll?

In 1966, when James Meredith was shot at start of his "March Against Fear" in Mississippi (he survived), the attack brought out thousands of Black Folks to complete the march to Jackson in his place. A major MLKJr, and James Brown attended the concert at Tougaloo College where Brown sang "Say It Loud: I'm Black & I'm Proud". The phrase "Black Power" was used by Stokely Carmichael at a speech in a park. And James Meredith had healed enough from his gunshot wounds to rejoin his One Man "March Against Fear" that had grown to one of the major events in the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's.

Do you like the way intergrated Jackson looks today?
