Did You Know? Jim Crow Laws | Encyclopaedia Britannica

Jim Crow law, in U.S. history, any of the laws that enforced racial segregation in the South between the end of Reconstruction in 1877 and the beginning of the civil rights movement in the 1950s. Jim Crow was the name of a minstrel routine (actually Jump Jim Crow) performed beginning in 1828 by its author, Thomas Dartmouth (“Daddy”) Rice, and by many imitators, including actor Joseph Jefferson. The term came to be a derogatory epithet for African Americans and a designation for their segregated life.

ummm... the last informational page... the one that says something about "of Jim Crow didn't"... the words are covered by an ad for another video. Can you please fix this? Thanks!

It’s so fucking sad that they don’t teach this type of stuff in school... if the school System would teach us more about racism there would be so many people who are educated and so many less people who are racist... if only the school system didn’t fail us.

[@sandihunt]

why would someone want to be equal to "White People" .... The wording is also an issue...... Just say that all humans should have the same rights and privileges.

[@6699230]

It rarely works that way. Most cases involve one group attempting dominion over another group or groups.🤔

[@audreywilborn2018]

The thing about the Jim Crow laws is in the old South most White people had Black people working in their homes ( maids , yard boys , etc . ) . Where did these workers use the bathroom , eat or drink in the White people homes ?

[@preciouspayne3188]

But they do do that anymore I hope not

Words have positive, negative and in-between meanings. All races have been segregated by all races in history. My son went to a high school in America in the early 2000's that is and was 99% black. My son was one of two white students out of over 400 black students in his graduating class. Blacks don't mind segregation when they want it. the school board said the school didn't need racial integration. MM arr is all rights reserved

Words are not what explains the hundreds of death to Black America during the jim crow era. When although I'd like to agree with you that racism is within every culture, you really have to see this in a different view.... Black people have been slaughtered for too many hundreds of years just because the color of their skin.. yes your son and I myself have been racially abused but we are still breathing. Til this day we cannot keep a blind eye to what our Black brothers and sisters have endure. Do we need change? Yes we do! Do we all need to be better humans? Yes we do! Stop repeating history as we are all immigrants to USA. This land doesn't belong to us. Stop acting like the white race is more superior to any other.. No one race or culture is better. We are the Human race. We all can't matter until they matter too!!!

@@ladyhlub68ify . Studied psychiatry. All races struggle in similar ways with mental health challenges no matter what struggles they go through. All races have been abused by all races through out history and still are. no race is above reproach or special in their suffering. All races have experienced discrimination and been slaves. over 1.2 billion blacks in the world 800 million European whites in the world. Whites are a minority in the world. There are studies that show whites especially, white conservative males are the most abused race on earth. MM arr · Reply · 1m
