In today’s society, like anytime in history, it’s boils down to what one needs to do to ensure one’s survival. As a PEOPLE , I sincerely believe that with self love, self preservation, most especially in maintaining the SAFETY of communities and UNITY, our survival will continue to be ENSURED, despite the facts that forms of inequalities that will continue to exist, almost every where , centuries and decades later!

I am watching this outside the US and I searched this term "Jim Crow" because I heard it so many times... After watching this video all I can say is that the US has come from very far thanks to all the good people who fought for equality and justice in all races. Without people who stood for what is right imagine how bad the lives of millions of people would have been. The black people have it a lot better; but there are still some areas where I can see there is a modern Jim Crow like the justice system. There are also many groups who want things to stay the same, as it is still common to see groups who are against black people who demand equality like groups who are against BLM movement or the Race Theory... all in all though things are million times better than before thanks for great people who fought for change.

[@MichaelWoodward-kc6ne]

Well I am glad that you know because these moral monsters are about to install a new " Jim Crow doctrine. What American black people need to understand is that they have NEVER been freed(for maybe 12 years).

It hurts so much because despite all of the things that have changed, the Jim Crow system is still active not only in America but even here in South Africa. It's a lot more passive now due to all the sacrifices and blood shed of Black people (and in my country even some white people) over the decades. But still today, the majority of white people truly believe they are superior to any and every other color group, even when they don't say it. They certainly show it. Also I just found out from one of my white friends that he paid half the price of the exact same COMP TIA A+ IT qualification we are both studying right now in the very same class. In my last job, I was working with a white junior employee in the cyber security analysis department. He had no IT qualifications, I have a BSc Degree with an Masters in Artificial Intelligence. I had been working their 7 months, he had worked there for a month.

My aunt was one of the first black families to live in that racist town.

The term Jim Crow Laws was coined by a NY journalist in 1890s. My take on Jim Crow the character is it wasn't a flattering character however at the time in my opinion based on certain things such as the character being referenced in Uncle Tom's Cabin ( the second largest English language book sold in the 1800s behind the Bible , the most famous piece of abolishionist fiction based on reality), I don't think the character was particularly offensive. If you were to apply such a standard today the gangsta rappers make the black minstrel shows which were also performed by black people look decisively polite and non offensive. I am waiting for the outrage against the modern day performers who are in reality far more offensive. Do I think gangsta rap should be banned no but it should be seen for what it is and hopefully most people consider it fantasy.

[@rayr5950]

What's in a name? Jim Crow laws were also called Black Laws or Black Codes especially in the Northern states where they existed before, during and even after the so-called Civil War. They were legal codes to discourage even free blacks from moving into and settling into Northern states or making black residents ineligible to vote.

Dom Naomi You are 💯 Sista it is Jim Crow is still in effect today .....

[@homoculus]

@Freethinkers It shows you what we used to be. Jim Crow just opens our eyes for when Jim Crow Laws existed. It shows us how we resolved it. It shows that our problems that are happening right now can be fixed. Like global warming. It helps you realize its moral. And, what if you're a Historian? It might be useful, you know. No, it won't help pay for student loans. But tell me, does the American Revolution help pay student loans? No. But we learn about it anyway. To show how we can learn to solve our problems. It's the same for Jim Crow. And, Jim Crow may still be happening. And it can grow, little by little, while we're on our phones. Think about Childish Gambino's "This is America". Think about it's hidden meanings relating to Jim Crow. Then come back. -An eleven-year-old Californian

[@homoculus]

@Freethinkers Pardon me. By saying that Jim Crow Laws MAY still be happening, I meant that it could happen to another race too. Or to a person's own race. What I'm saying is, people may still be racist. A minority, but it's still happening. And it's not only for the black community.

MLK was a not a saint. He was a GOP until LBJ was in office. Even Malcom X thought he was a wuz. didn't want to go to jail, and was a Rev but betrayed his wife constantly. The day he died, he was sharing a room with his mistress. He was a leader like Kennedy and Trump - but was human

[@nisha1636]

@@kellyedey5952 Just some belated history information for you. The etymology of the word "slave means ‘Slavonic (captive)’: the Slavonic peoples had been reduced to a servile state by conquest in the 9th century. So the original slaves was Caucasian's from the Slavic region. African's caught during the tribal wars was forced into a type of "indentured service" at the end of which they were free to return to their tribe and given "wages" (livestock or other goods) or marry into the tribe that captured them. Arabs are Caucasians. They're originally the peoples of a nomadic tribe that settled/conquered the Arabian Peninsula and renamed it Saudi Arabia in 1932. Essentially any Arab nation/country that lies below the Sinai Peninsula have only occupied those areas since the 7th century. Herodotus and other scholars of that time described the Egyptian as "black skinned with woolly hair". Slavery is a abomination no matter when, where or who practices it. The excuse of "Make sure you learn where the beginnings of slavery first started." is abhorrent and doesn't wash away the atrocities committed by another group.

Not necessarily. During this time before Black Americans fought for Civil Right, the Black Migrant population was at a decimal point. This widely was a African American experience in American.

Did you also learn about how the Canadian government hid the truth for decades about the mistreatment of Native American children in the west of Canada who were separated from their parents so they would learn to « assimilate », and whose graves were recently found? Canadians have avoided many of the darker elements of US history (less power has its silver lining), but no European or North American should assume that the white males who shaped their history were in any way respectful toward native populations and non-white immigrants. Pointing to the horrors of Jim Crow laws perpetrated by their Southern neighbors is commendable IF it leads to a deeper reflection on the impact of the West on the rest of the world!

The c-19 vaccines do not stop people from catching the virus yet they're using it to kick people out of their jobs, restaurants, and other public spaces and all sorts of bs. It matters not if you believe in the vaccine, the mere fact that they're willing to use your livelihood as a tool to force you to do something against your own will shows you where their mindset is at. What happens the next time something comes around and the government wants you to take something that you're not comfortable with? They're going to use covid as the precedence to do so by saying they did it then, so they can do it again now. Y'all need to wake the fuq up.
