The Black Railroad Workers That Built America

[@oldskoolwayy]

Sad that the schools don't teach this and black history show the same things every year

[@SagesLevelz]

When I look at the streets of major cities, it reminds me of the money made from All Transportation and how those streets tell a bigger story. The Roads, Tracks, trains and Vehicles, the gas, each repair and maintenance, insurance and EVERLASTING Taxes!! The stores we walk in for service and to buy bs accessories. The money made from this and then the 1st H.Ford Car that we are now about to relook, after they play with these hemp laws to see just how much they can steal before that car is remade. How 40 acres & 1 Mule is so SIGNIFICANT to what was build for this country and how they could have paid that 4x over per. The street and how they look, tell a story more than many can comprehend. The creation of Amtrak, tolls, the right to travel and the Violations they have committed, the money they made from tickets and how they destroyed the history... Its All a Complete Disgrace!!

So where did they get this idea that the Chinese immigrants came and built the railroad system?

[@iamwhoiam7773]

Some came but they left as soon as they found out that the wights were gonna sweep the business right out from under us!

Black history has been tainted since misconstrued since we got here. None of this is taught in our schools for a reason. It is so hurtful and painful what has been done To Blacks by this country. It’s a shame that this country was built on lies and deceits. Thank you for this much needed history.

Great segment

[@jamesblackshear8589]

Why, so much lying about the labor force that built the railroads in USA. When, in college all of the history and political science professors taught all so-called black students through out USA that the Chinese people built each and every railroads in U S A I personally never believed that lie. I want to be the first to thank you for bringing out this history

[@Skxtez]

Are you high black people helped build railroads same with irish and chinese even soldiers so don't come sayin that just chinese built the railroads my black ancestors helped build the railroad

[@jamesblackshear8589]

@@Skxtez I agree with you my brother, Trust me according to the statistics and American history the Chinese people did not build the railroads through out USA. Understand the white people would rather lie than give the black people any credit. Hence: in the year 1840 in USA there were not one Chinese alive living in American in 1840.. In the year 1867 the railroads in USA were completely built In that seme year there were only 56,000 max Chinese living in American in 1867. There, is know way those few people built the railroads in USA Impossible, impossible, impossible. Look, at the.faka

[@MrK30674]

What percentage of southern railroad workers were Black women that performed the same backbreaking labor as the Black men? You highlight Rose as being “vulnerable” and “out of her element.” There were thousands of Black men who were SLAVES working on a railroad. Let’s not pretend as if their conditions were any less harrowing than these few women.

[@beacarr9652]

We have to differentiate with regard to the RRs - the TRANSCONTINENTAL RRs were built with a workforce that was 90% Asian. The Southern RRs utiluzed about 10,000 total black workers. Of course, Irish immigrants, white Americans and many others built the RRs.

It was the Chinese that did the nitro runs

[@spaceydayz2]

About 75% of railroads were built by slaves but that was in the southern United States. The title should be actually titled that they "helped build America". There was much more than building America besides railroads. The first settlers (the first immigrants) had built towns before the first slaves arrived in 1619. The transcontinental railroad was built by Chinese and Irish immigrants. Most larger cities in the north were built by immigrants. Then there was the technology that built America by immigrants including the telephone and lightbulb. Italians built the Brooklyn bridge and New York City was almost entirely built by immigrants. So let's be factual

[@fire418]

Black Americans mainly built the south and east railroads but helped build all of them. Black people been going back and forth from America, trading before 1619. Louis Latimer made the first lightbulb, and wrote the first book on electronics. By the time white immigrants was inventing, blacks was still enslaved and created many inventions during slavery despite their position and immigrants was free, getting benefits. New york was built on slaves they built the structure and foundation of New York, there would be no bridge for Italians to build without black Americans building New York. No new york isn't entirely built by immigrants, straight lies.

[@spaceydayz2]

@@fire418 New York was almost entirely built by immigrants. Not slaves. Also New York was named after one of the most notorious slave owners of al, the Duke Of York. I would never want to call myself a New Yorker. Might as well be calling yourself a slave trader.

And also, slaves were hired by slave owners to help build these railroads, but it didn’t build your country

[@mugm2]

you pressed huh?

[@alimfg6511]

That's right, they built the train and built America, not the Chinese

[@brodygentry9379]

Some of the railroads owned slaves not all of them and some of its slave owners hired slaves to work on their railroads not all of them because the North abolished slavery in your country and also the fact that this was the idea of John Stevens.
