We Minorities have suffered a lot because of the white man. It time all of us Mexican, black, Asian.etc. need to come together and build some kind of foundations where we can fund and educate our ppl, this is the only way to get on out feet and become a stronger a group. Shoot even our own political party. And stop with hating each other also. If our leaders came together and stop bumping heads with each other. The quicker we do that the quicker we can start demanding better Jobs, education, hospitals all that. Instead of just looking out for each others races. In all mexican school only an all black college.etc is only gonna make the struggle longer. And we've had enough if this disrespect. We need to stop letting our differences separate us. We Minorities are all in the same struggle. Wake up ppl. Wake your as* up.

@@monstersofthemidway4402 I feel like instead of demanding from someone who doesn’t care if you live or die. We should go back to the land and supporting ourselves and not fall by the way of the American Indian. God Bless their true beautiful souls. They never assimilated fought physically and lost. We should go prepare a place for us all who really aren’t respected. Self determination. Maybe back to Africa.

Thank you for posting this on KZbin. My Father, John Lynch, worked on this documentary as the Program Coordinator and always said that it was the one thing he worked on that he was most proud of. He ended up running the Washington News Bureau and later the ABC New Political Unit but this documentary always remained close to his heart. And after watching it, I can see why. Thank you again for preserving it and presenting it for people to easily see.

[@timmorrison8129]

I totally agree with you. This is vital information that should be broadcasted on national public TV and main stream media. This current generation has not one clue of the trials and tribulations, persecution, murder, rape and many other atrocities that have been perpetrated upon the Black Race. Once this video is well known to the public, both black and white, Then perhaps we all will see the importance of our coming together as one people to make reparations to the black race and to address the significance of being unified not only as a black race but as a Human Being as it pertains to all races. God created all the races and he said everything he created was good !

[@vinyltapelover]

Katrin Vincent Maitefa Angaza I too remember that line about taking the dreams too. I think Richard Pryor was getting ready to be convicted or sentenced. I can't recall which album and I don't remember if it was concerning a divorce or something else, but the judge after apparently taking everything Richard had, asked him, : “Do you have any dreams? We want them too!” I'm guessing a judge did not[actually]say those words, but Richard was left with the sense that if such a thing was in fact possible, the system would exact its brand of justice to that insane degree.

[@MountTheodore72]

Somewhere i think footage like this was showing a determination in blacks to want to progress despite the current hardships. But just as we as blacks are viewing this with a critical mind, i also believe, intentionally, those who run the system of white dominance listened and studied the behaviours, and again, see the determination in black people to want to achieve a greatness. Those same white folks were paying attention to footage like this and other videos where black intelligent thought was being heard, and white domination's purpose was/is to do all they can to stay 10 steps ahead of blacks to tenaciously maintain their power. Relinquishing that power would go against their belief of superiority, especially over the black race. Just as we heard those in this video say that the time of the white man must come to an end, them same white folks were hearing the same thing. Even till this day white folks are still studying black people, doing all they can to keep black folks distracted from reaching true progress, all the while making sure they still are able to wield and maintain white dominance.

[@practicaldeen5333]

We need to truly educate our youth in order for that to happen, but they have been so dumbed down and they can care less. In order to apply the proper solution, we must first make the proper diagnosis of the problem. What we are seeing are just symptoms of the problem. The solution to this problem we do not want to sit and listen to nor apply it..smdh. This white\black problem is deeper than the physical. It was manifested in the spiritual realm...If you remember what did Iblees (Saitan) say to the Creator, Allah (swa), when the order was given to prostrate to Adam (AS)? Saitan refused and used logic to justify his disobedience stating that he is better than Adam because Adam is made from mud and he(Iblees aka Saitan) is made from fire. Mud falls and fire rises. This is the major issue at hand. The only solution is embedded in Islam- the Islam that Malcolm X (RA) died on which embraced all people as part of the human family. The devil's game is power\control acquired by division of the human family on trivial things such as color...nothing new here-Roman conquer and divide philosophy. That is why it is a major threat to western criminalization (oh sorry, I meant civilization) b/c it has the practical solution to all of humanity's problems-from so called race to family, community, national and international relations to finance, economics, health, education, wealth distribution where the rich take care of the poor but more importantly the spiritual satisfaction that every soul is yearning for which it will not be quenched with ownership of material things that the media is bombarding us with. Oh, people, let's be honest Christianity served it's purpose of giving us hope, but in order to take the next step spiritualy, sociologically, economically and so on we must make a transition. Christianity lacks the practical tools to solve these problems we are facing. Prophet Isa (Jesus PBUH..peace be upon him) prepared the way for Prophet Muhammed (SAW). Prophet Muhammed PBUH perfected Islam. All prophets came with one message..Islam.There is only one God, worship him alone and follow me. The creator sent many messengers to all people of Earth, but over time the message got distorted with the efforts of the devil and his followers which resulted in people worshiping more than one God, so the Creator would send another messenger to bring people back to the worship of the one true Creator until the final messenger\prophet, Muhammed PBUH). We believe that all prophets (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, David, Solomon, and yes Jesus) are Muslim which which means a person who submits his will to the will of the Creator and in doing so will acquire internal and external peace. Let's not let our emotions blind us from the truth. I can go on and on...but I implore you to research, research, research and speak to a practicing muslim and don't let the media scare you. they only do so to protect the status quo and prevent you from finding out the truth...peace ya'll.

This generation hasn't done this grave injustice to Black Americans but as a nation it can't be corrected without acknowledgment.We don't want your pity; all we ask for without avail is an equal opportunity to provide, build, and cultivate our people which some of us never get due to the majority of institutions that were purposely put into place by old indoctrinated elitites believes which still have laws and structures put into place to keep us down. I just find it very interesting how other races/enthicities think they know so much about being a Black Americans which they clearly dont know anothing about. I guess media, music, and what they world chooses to show the negative ( of course) about our race tells the world everything they need to know/ understand us. No other race has been through what my people have and I know my history well.Their were slaves ( indentured slaves, slaves with pay, and prisoner slaves for a certain amount of time)in other parts of the world but they were not murdered by thousands, treat to such harsh/ degrading treatment, demoralize, minipulated, raped, breeded like animals, ostracized and given pretendprotective laws aka Civil Rights 13 and 14 Amendment( which now includes people of color, woman, and lgbt) who were not slaves for over four hundred years building this country making Carcasians wealth off our sweat and tears.

[@zencat999]

very good for historical ref. Dick Gregory and Godfrey Cambridge were my early hero comedians. then Richard Pryor...etc... this is interesting to see the lack of progress. looking back, its dismal. hopefuly we can make some real progress from 2020 and on.

[@simontheodore772]

$6 to $10?? Another 40 years. I know things always been hard for us in this country but things are either getting better or worse nothing stays the same

[@jermainetaylor6014]

So little has changed. It may be presented to the world differently but so little has change.

[@madameclark3453]

Interesting that the early blacks in Los Angeles concerned with the wave of blacks from the south. Their concerns were materialized.

[@djperkadelic342]

How dare they think that they are any better than the others coming from the South. I'm from Chicago born in 1960, and that's was the same attitude many Blacks in Chicago had towards the new wave of Southern Blacks. It's so shameful.

[@eldo59]

33:55 Percy Sutton's stories held my attention. Sad but powerful!

[@glenncater1]

I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHY BLACKS OF TODAY CANT RELEARN THEIR HERITAGE ! THEIR LANGUAGE , CULTURE ECT ?? AND STOP TALKING ABOUT THE PAST AND MOVE ON !! ?? THEY WERE GIVEN EVERYTHING THE USA HAS TO OFFER !! EDUCATION . FREEDOM TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT , ASIANS CAME HERE WITH NOTHING AND ARE BECOMING ANYTHING WE WANT DESPITE THE SETBACKS OF RACISM AND CULTURE SHOCK !

[@hibuddy5832]

As a 80s baby an now living in the 20 century things have not change they found a better way to slave us it hurts my heart us as an people can't stick together think we r better then 1 another sad the world we live in the white ppl love it we have to change ourselves and teach our children the things went on and still going on I'm glad to find this documentary it helps a lot 2 know times did not change

[@StylesbyNina]

Thanks for sharing. These people were ever so wrong. Integration failed miserably. Smh...

[@StylesbyNina]

Equal Rights should have been the fight.

[@reelblack]

+Styles by Nina I thought the scene with the middle class folks in LA was telling. They were all for integration, but most had issues with less educated blacks coming into their area. Extremely well balanced survey of cosmopolitan Blacks. Fitting that Brother Minister was given the last word.

[@StylesbyNina]

+reelblack The Boule. It seems like the movement was high jacked at some point. "Not to sound bouge", yeah right. They were having meetings but not inviting those that were living in the slums of oppression. Now that we all are well mixed in with everybody, we still today are being killed in the streets every single day. Still being represented by those that have not lived in the oppression of this system for some time now. Disconnected from reality. Black Wall Street was successful because they were separated by force and became a force to be reckoned with. We will never 'overcome' a system designed against us. Bottom line.

[@indira496]

Styles by Nina what up boo!!!

[@indira496]

[@Thomas-sk9wh]

Still holds true today in many instances

[@7SKYBALLER]

1 of my FAVORITE pictures is that of Malik Shabazz(Malcolm X), Dick Gregory, & Adam Clayton Powell. Percy Sutton, my Texas homeboy, Prairie View A&M alumni, IS a TRAILBLAZER. The legacy he left behind STILL AFFECTS PROGRESSIVE people to this day. He had a LOT to lose representing Malik Shabazz, but he STOOD TALL in his time of need. NEVER WAIVERING...

[@latashascott3503]

My grandfather is the man walking in the end of the documentary 😍

[@reelblack]

How cool. What is his name?

[@mikehoncho2744]

We're simply two countries trapped inside the same borders I hope one day we can live separately as nature intended It's that damn simple then hopefully black ppl will be happy with themselves Until then same ole same ole

[@vinyltapelover]

Mike Honcho I disagree with living separately. Until someone eons ago, ignored the architectural design plans of the Tower of Babel, it seems human beings, supposedly, were doing okay.

[@gadcarmelit3628]

That was 1961 and they still feel like that in 2020 racism is a hell of a psychological machine !

[@lewelheds]

Even now days in 2019 it’s still the same exact way! But this time it’s on a mass scale and has spread world wide.

[@LadyParis-xu2ri]

It seems we need more Malcolm Xs. I believe intergretion was a big mistake for black folks. We had slavery, jim crow, lyinching, massive incarceration, proverty , poor health and horrific education, redlining , drugs impacting our communties, shit hold jobs as well as neighborhoods..etc and western blacks still are looked upon as some vagrant and nobody because of our nature beautiful skin. tone. You got to be effin kidding me. This land was built for these white folks at the cost of black folks expense. That same energy could have gone into our black communities and family. We as black folks should have remained segregate. Look were ingreration has gotten us as a black race. We are so damn dysfunction by orchestrated and systemic designed. I think integretion was a huge mistake for western blacks. We should have many neighboorhoods like black Wall Steet with heavy protection in the 21st century.

[@shiprahyahisrael6200]

Correct. Mind u we have now been religated to being servants/CONsumers to the same ppl.

[@clivemoses2467]
