Walter White grew up Black but had features that allowed him to "pass" as a white man. This helped him live with two different identities, By pretending to be white, he was able to uncover and fight against racial injustice in the United States.

They are still doing that today. Where they don't teach about the very person the school is named after. My childs school is named after a partner of Mr White and it's sitting on a street named after a civil rights leader. Even though both gentlemen have passed, they have children that can tell their story. It's needed to let this generation know that these acts aren't that far back.

My maternal grandfather's entire family could have easily passed. But as long as they continued to live in Louisiana they dared not try. Because it was a dangerous game. Both Black and White families in Louisiana knew by a person's surname which White men during the system of placage maintained both White and mixed race families. Especially before the Civil War. There were so many White looking Black people in Louisiana because of centuries of intermixing that the White purists were vigilant in rooting out anyone with the slightest drop of Black blood. There were some members of my maternal grandfather's family who did leave the State of Louisiana to pass.Two of his paternal Uncles actually settled in France. It wasn't so hard since they were of 1/16 African Ancestry.My grandfather 0:03 married a much darker French speaking creole, my beautiful maternal grandmother, to remove all doubt about his racial identity. Lol unfortunately my mother didn't cooperate because she came out looking just as White as him.Her two siblings looked like light skinned Hispanics. My grandfather met both Adam Clayton Powell and Walter White in Harlem NYC in the early 1950s on one occasion. He thanked them for all that they were doing to fight for equality. As my grandfather told it both men looked him up and down. Mr Powell remarked, "Sir I would not have known you were a Negro until you opened your mouth ".My grandfather maintained that heavy Louisiana drawl well after he migrated with his wife and three children to NYC in 1940.

You have a close ansestor in your lineage that is white. Start asking questions. No full blooded black person looks like that. Families have secrets that are hidden. At the age of 33, I found out my great grandfather was white. He was a plantation owner down south my grandmother is 97 and never spoke about it we had to dig and find out. My aunt has blue eyes and is very light skined as to where my mother and her siblings have all black features, but their grandfather is white. I would consider myself black but would consider my grandmother biracial

Your culture is within the Black culture but your family expresses the dominant genes of wyte DNA.... True Black people can only produce black but can also include albino.... Black does Not come in different colors just black... Different colors of black is due to the % of wyte in your blood and expression of those genes... Hence because of the 1 drop rule anyone with black DNA is considered black... Just like your Family

@@youmaydisagreebut848 This is historically, the most likely cause for Black light or “white” people of African origin (& partially also true for dark skinned Pacific & South Asian people) who have lived in predominantly non white countries for several centuries. However, the monolithic “true” Black has never existed in Africa as such: The earliest humans odeveloped increased melanosomes after the body hair loss which enabled the development of a high amount melanin- so called dark skin, especially around the equator. Nonetheless, even pale skin genetic variants were still inherited in some clusters.Southern and Eastern hunter gatherers carry an which live further from the equator carry an ancient light skin variant which is also found in Eurasian prehistoric humans (Neanderthal) which the latter inherited from ancient their predecessors (Homo erectus) who had left Africa 800k years ago. The several waves of back to Africa from Asia migration around 15k- 2k years ago, introduced the SCL24A5 gene which is one of the 4 responsible to develop the white Eurasian skin (different from Albinism) has melanin but much less melanosomes. This gene is responsible for the incurrence for type OCA albinism (blue eyes) in indigenous Africans of the tropical region & the Waardenburg syndrome (yellow brown skin, often freckles light brown hair & blue eyes). The latter however comes with disabilities just like OA albinism. We know, sadly that in the history of human kind, children who were born with any kind visible disabilities were often not allowed to live. White passing plus Coloured passing also existed in South Africa from the time of Cape slavery until the end of Apartheid. In Europe, the one drop rule was completely superfluous, therefore once the African or Asian got completely lost after 2-3 generations, people were simply accepted as white. Germans-Africans (German of origin but with a maternal native African ancestral lineage)who returned from the lost colonies to Germany just kept quiet about the African great grandmother to be able to register as fully Aryan under the NS regime. I apologise for my lengthy comment. Essentially you are right but when it comes to “true” Black or “true” white - it may come across as a phenotype but genetically & historically, it’s a far more complex & divers story.

Overcome racism discrimination and prejudice on a magnified scale and still manage to survive and not only do some of us survive - we thrive. Who can say that? We went from slaves to presidents? We descend from Africa..a country rich in natural resources..the land of God. Who else is standing with us besides God? Everything sent to steal from - kill - and destroy us - we used it to develop resilience. That's nothing but God running through our veins. Can't nobody tell me different.

Absolutely.As the elders often told me most White people at that time were indifferent.They may not have participated but did nothing to stop the carnage.Some did risk their lives.But they and their families were run out of town if they took it too far.But the problem was that the core power structures of law enforcement, judges and elected officials basically gave the most demented and sadistic amongst them a license to kill.Even if that was 20 % of the White population at any given time or place . According to the elders it was truly frightening.It was like living in a State of terror.What the elders could never forgive was the indifference of the federal government.The NAACP and others organizations would often physically make the trek to Washington DC.Pleading with federal agencies.Pleading with Congress.Pleading with the President to do something.Either the closed door meetings never materialized.Or if there were.Promises never kept.We hear so much about the known lynchings.But the truth is so many people just disappeared.Men, Women and children.So many horror stories of people found in the woods, rivers and streams.I won't go into graphic detail.No they could not forgive or forget.But they knew they still had to give younger generations as much love, emotional support and encouragement as they could.There was no time for hatred.

They always called her their big sister. She when one of them was a baby he had blue eyes and blond hair. She said the mother was outside with one of that one when mailman came by. She said the mail man told her that was a white baby. She then proceeded to cuss the mail man out.

@OneMicHistory Country Boy, I really appreciate you for your depth of work and consistency! Would love to work with you one day on a series I’ve been dreaming up. But getting into this topic of “passing” is very interesting. Walter White was certainly able to pass but chose to present black and was likely hated/feared/outcasted by each demographic. I recall WEB DuBois exclaiming he hated Walter White but he never stated why. Similarly, DuBois had a young protege who graduated valedictorian from Atlanta Univ. in 1903 by the name of Harry H. Pace, who was staunchly black in his heart but could pass easily when needed and to add further complexity, he married a Jewish woman, completing the full “passing” equation. It is my belief Harry Pace’s story was stripped from the early records due to his complexion, similar to W. White and the period has not been kind to these great men’s stories. Dubois has never once mentioned Harry Pace in any record that I could find but the man was resolutely a genius and for the culture as one could be. Let’s chop it up to discuss more, will reach you at your webpage. Excellent vid as always.

Actually Walter White was Black by birth, if you accept the enslaver’s mantra, “ One drop of Black Blood means you are Black, no matter how you look”. I had a cousin, I visited in Kansas in the 80s. She was in a long term care facility only this was a lovely one in a small town in Kansas. It had been a town mansion and was turned into a care facility. We were walking down the corridor peeping in rooms and she said, you found me, I know I look like an old “white woman” and she did, albeit an attractive one. I was with my uncle and he and I were the two in our family doing the family genealogy searches.I asked Virginia did she ever pass for white? She said many assume she is now, but she always lived in the Black community because she had no interest in passing. She said occasionally when riding the train she did. But she and many of my family who were fair, blue eyed and even blonde sometimes, said whites did not have fun and were too racist about people that looked like our family members to consider passing. My mother’s grandfather looked too white to live with his darker skinned wife in the Black community. He boarded out as a farm worker and came into town on weekends. These complications came into Black people’s lives because the same white men who called Blacks savages could not stay out of the bed with enslaved African women. Some of those men ended up with two families. A white one and another one in the Black Community. There was a white wife who was from Memphis who wrote the local newspaper in what we would call an op-Ed today, asking ( anonymously) the city fathers to tell white men the could no longer have Black mistresses or second Black families. It was an extraordinary plea and putting it in the Newspaper meant this issue was indeed a problem. We don’t know if it was widespread, but white men were being called out and warned!

Question. Why have our people suffered so much in the Past as in the Present?? Maybe someone has the answer.
@bonitaphinney1529
@bonitaphinney1529 Ай бұрын
Our people have suffered because of power and oppression. When they captured the Africans off the coast of Africa, the White man wanted to assert their power , whether they were British, or Dutch to bring the African slaves to the shores of the Caribbean, and North America for commodities , to be used for economic reasons, such as harvesting and cutting cotton. There have been slave trades throughout the world, because of greed from the slaveowners. There are many books in the libraries regarding this topic.

​@@uoyebut2151who wrote the Bible, who translated the written words into a understandable language, who selected the stories that were to be presented to the people, why aren't we allowed to question it the many versions that have been published, who decided the old words from the original book to correlate with modern words. There is a massive collection of documentary writings that are not allowed out to the world. Yes I question the " written word" , I question why only selected stories from ancient writings from selective scribes compare . The word put to the people were translated by mostly religious monks,Greek educated people, some written in Latin dictated by the Catholic Church in Rome. Why is it that most of these religious writings place some of humankind as lesser humans while others are almost given " godly " status. Can you answer my inquiries.?

Before assuming that individuals with darker skin harbor hatred, it's important to understand their history. If we can be loving and kind to white people, why can't we extend that to Black people? Why are Black people always blamed as if they're the ones responsible for others hating mixed individuals? It’s not about others being upset with you for being mixed with certain features that they're ‘jealous’ of. It's about their perceptions versus yours. Repeating unhealthy statements like this only shows where your knowledge stands.

Vayikra 13 12 And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh; 13 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: *it is all turned white:* he is clean. (aka albino, vitiligo, etc...) Which means Mosheh aka "Moses" was not a "white" man and neither were his people, "race" however is a devolutionary process and recessive genetics is at the tail end of it, because believe it or not, The Creator did not create hueman beings that needed man made sunscreen to be under the sun.

No matter how bad this sounds it’s a fact. Lynching was recorded because the people doing the lynching back then were proud of the death they caused, however it wasn’t illegal so there was no reason to hide it. Go do your research and see what the slaves had to say about it back then. Also slaves weren’t cheap to the owners. They didn’t just eliminate them when they felt like it. Check out some Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell.
