Racism and sexism = people understood and knew that differences existed between the races and sexes.

@coloneljackmustard

5 жыл бұрын

Believe it or not, back then, people were actually better educated on the Truth about race and sex. Unlike today, they did not just assume that the races and sexes were equal which they are not. There was a widespread awareness that blacks, on average, had less intelligence and less impulse control than Whites and mixing the different races would produce a more fragmented and hostile world. Racial diversity is a negative and they understood it. They also understood the role of the woman as a nurturer better. Women, in general, make excellent elementary school teachers, nurses, wives, mothers, and homemakers. They don't, generally, make very good workers in the factories as all they do is bitch, whine, fuss, and complain. They would've been better off staying at home and taking care of the kids and house, as they did prior to the 1960s and the feminist denigration of motherhood. Most of them, by their nature, are not cut out for the working world. Back in 1911, all of this was common sense. Today, we deny reality and truth.

Once I left for college, i hardly ever go back because the city is so dangerous . but may be exciting to you tourists but to those who know the true pitfalls of where you are, want nothing to do with it. Like I always say, THERE ARE NO RULES IN THE CITY, JUST GUIDELINES. People may chuckle but that's reality.

Wow Do you notice how everyone carries themselves with a sense of importance and dignity. Truly amazing.

Interesting to think that every man, woman, child, and horse, are all dead and gone. We just saw a small snippet of their lives captured in time on film. None replaceable, each individual unique, never to see this world again. Well maybe, but not in physical form. How many words spoken in a lifetime, how many steps taken, how many relationships come and gone. How many amazing sights seen, thoughts thought, emotions experienced, happy and sad....and for a few minutes we got to see a moment in time, human beings that experience the same things we do, live out their lives. Just in a different time. This is closest we have to a time machine. Film. Time, captured and kept for all too see in the future, who weren't present in the past. If only we learned from it.

If we don't destroy ourselves my comment could be read by some historian in year 10.000 BCE. Hello historian friend! I'm from your past. From what you maybe call the stupid times where we almost self destroy because tribalism and greed. There was also good things like movies, rock music, freedom of speech, still some Amazonian forest and wildlife. Hope everything is going fine.

The thing I notice is that people didn't have to worry about crossing the street. Nothing is going faster than 10 miles per hour. Now you're lucky if motorists obey a 40mph speed limit.

How beautiful to remain forever in a movie even if you have been gone from this world for more than 100 years.

Amazing footage!

Loved everything about this, inc. the horse apples in the street. Music choice was genius. I was transported.

No one of them living today but without their efforts and hard working we wouldn't have what we have today

Around this period was when my grandparents immigrated from Slovakia (Bohemia) and entered Ellis Island with everything they owned in their suitcases. Very interesting to see what New York was like from their perspective.

This is absolutely amazing!!!

They had so much class in those days. I wanted to step though time to say hello to those people and feel the energy and excitement during that time of industry and transformation. The buildings boggle my mind how they were so well made-still the strongest structures standing. The first electric motor was built only about 50 years prior. The light bulb about 30. Incredible.

No antibiotics. It was great for white upper middle class, not so great for others. Football was being modernized, basketball was still a vey low scoring slogging game, the pros practically played tackle basketball, baseball was still in the dead ball era, Sousa and Carusa was music, very staid and maybe a bit dull...

GREAT video, love seeing history & how folks looked back then.

Fantastic film! Imagine, all those people living their lives in NY in 1911 and now they are gone. What did they think and feel in their time; it’s facinating to watch them like they were still there....

Don't be fooled by the clothes, the same if not worse vices existed then as they do now.

Imagine telling those people in 1911 that one day their little film could be accessed at any time by anyone in the world simultaneously, for little cost, and viewed on a phone on which comments about them could be written and shared in an instant. Seriously, it's as bizarre as imagining being able to go to Pluto for a Sunday afternoon walk and be back in an hour.

To think that I've been to New York like 4 years ago and 2 years ago, and walked on the same streets as the people of some of the clips here, it's crazy

Fantastic footage ! Thank goodness somone knew to keep the films in cold storage before they deteriorated into dust.... Thankyou .

When I feel stressed or worried, I think of old movies and footage like this and it reminds me that in a very short time, I’ll be dead. We will all be dead. It isn’t morbid; it’s possibly the only truth. Memento Mori: remember, you’re dying. Nothing matters except for love and what we’re experiencing right now at this moment. Death sometimes seems scary but a second after it happens, we won’t care, just like the second before we were born. Thanks for posting this video.

For me, people didn’t have their pants down to their ankles, piercings, tattoos and people are actually walking upright, engaged and being aware of others and their surroundings. Not hunched over, one hand holding a phone and the other holding up their pants 👖. Haha hope nobody drops a coin! Which hand do you free to pick it up 🤭
