Hypothetically, to your question: maybe he was in an impossible situation, once he had been asked. I don't really see how his work achieved anything positive for Black people in the USA or the UK. His report made its way up the chain of command... but for what? White supremacy knew what it had to do for peace, and it refused to do it. The chain of command didn't care about improving Black people's lives, and was only looking for ways to lie effectively and maintain its dominance: to give away the very least it possibly could.

He’s just one man. He didn’t have that much power. There were many others who spied and were informants on behalf of the U.S. Government. Besides that, black people were never going to be given rights anyways until the U.S. Government and the elite power structure allowed it. White liberals and White conservatives were both racist and played the _”good cop/bad cop”_ game to basically keep black folks in a perpetually entrapped traumatized state of existence. Which maintain the racial caste system.

[@Codi892]

[@brianfitch5469]

I see both sides of it yes he clearly was a traitor to his people and went to live in the Philippines after. He also probably saved the lives of alot of blacks. A full on white on black civil war wouldnt have gone well for blacks it still wouldnt today. As it would be easy to fully encircle certain areas of towns and wait for them to starve or come out and get shot. He would have watched his own people be truly slaughtered not the 20 or 30 during riots. But would have been many thousands at a time. There was no good ending either way until societies attitudes changed on justice. It makes you wonder how many today are doing the same thing he did. It seems like things are coming full circle. People are starting to call for segregated areas again.

[@freelancejoel]

Hi, I just wanted to point out that I specifically *didn't* call him a hero. I think he's in a gray area. At the time it was really clear that any radical departures from the status quo could trigger mass racial violence against black communities. So while the A. Philip Randolphs and Chandler Owens of the world may have been *morally* right, it's totally understandable for someone who witnessed what Loving witnessed to opt for the harm reduction option. Not wrong or right. Just understandable.

[@Raja-bz4yw]

@@freelancejoel I know you didn't. And unfortunately, anything against the status quo in regards to the black community produces racist violent attacks towards black people or their properties today still. I personally just don't agree with what he did. I'm aware in your assessment you didn't call him a hero. I was personally saying he wasn't. Sure he may have done some damage control in some ways but others I feel like he still damaged and hurt the black communities trying to get equality. I do also feel as if he was protecting himself too which isn't bad per se but but still. He was a part of the system he apparently hated and would've in my opinion probably done more good if he used the system to help the black community.. idk how that would've been since I obviously wasn't born during that period something could've been done to help save more innocent black lives.

Wow! What an amazing story. I had never heard of Loving and his life was extraordinary. What is interesting, of course, is that the US government seems to have largely ignored Loving's advice, which is why the Communist Party- USA and American Communist Party ended up being the main civil rights advocates for African-Americans in the 1930s, fighting the fights that Roosevelt was unwilling to take on. There were even those Alabama sharecroppers who migrated to the Soviet Union to help create the cotton industry in Uzbekistan. That probably would not have happened ,if the US government had just just provided the Fair Deal the FIRST Roosevelt promised and included them in the New Deal his cousin FDR implemented. Please keep up the great work and amazing content.

[@LTPottenger]

Roosevelt's whole goal was to pervert these movements. Huey Long conveniently died just in time for him to run for office. Instead of taxing corporations as Long intended, he taxed the middle class instead.

[@darth_dacheus7319]

Excellent video! I'm loving this rogue history series, very cool idea! I think Loving was indeed, complicated, but also brilliant. He walked a very fine line, and ultimately tipped the scale away from U.S military force being used on Black Americans. He walked the "grey area" btwn patriot and community member/public figure. He still aided writers and news publishers, while ensuring Black communities were not seen as a threat to U.S security. A shame his story ended tragically, in war. I am honored to have learned his story. Thanks Joel, W.Cole, and the whole team!

Great content and no he is written in my book as a traitor but we must remember his story.

[@XxThePlaylistxX]

When you read up on the history of this time period it's hard to even comprehend the level of violence being perpetrated against black people. It's the kind of grotesque and abhorrent stories you'd expect to hear coming out of a Nazi Death Camp or a medieval torture chamber, and that's not an exaggeration at all. I can't imagine being a black person surviving through this time period and the kind of trauma they had to experience. I can easily see the perspective of many who had seen too much violence and wanted to avoid it at all costs. It's one thing to want change and its another to ask someone to lay down their lives, and possibly the lives of their family and loved ones, for that change to happen. Les miserables may have glorified armed revolution for some of you, but in most cases, its mostly innocent people who end up dying caught in the crossfire and the results are almost never what people expect them to be. So the expectation of some people that everyone should have just revolted against the government is incredibly selfish and narcissistic. While I dont agree with his role in spying and colluding against black social advocates, he was a product of his time and his environment. Anti-communist propaganda was rampant across the world at this time, Imperialism was common and relatively accepted by imperialist countries, and he was in the military. It's easy to see how anyone in that time period could have held the same views on patriotism and what was considered to be "anti-american" speech. It's very easy to get caught up in the rhetoric of the time period which you live in. Not everyone has to be morally perfect for us to acknowledge or appreciate their positive contributions to society.

This man was a straight up traitor. He was one who would have stayed a slave forever. He would have been one of the slaves not seeing themselves at war with their so called owner(no man can truly own a man). The white man , who is the dominant controller at this time and has been for some time, has taught us to keep our position and most likely survive and many of us has bought this idea. True revolution requires the shedding of blood. White people have demonstrated this over and over again. They fought to take the sovereign America from the British. They fought one another in the North and south civil war to govern themselves as they saw fit. Blood shed was a plenty. This man put his life on the line for a country that saw him and his people as no ones and all that entailed. He came back from war, ironically fighting to make others free and saw the situation and opted to be persuaded that it was better to survive in his servile position than to stand up like a man and insist he be treated like one with all that entailed. Marching has bought small changes but that threat of retaliation is what white people have listened to. Enslaved people were no longer willing to allow themselves to be kept in their place under the threat of death or brutality. They were disrupting slavery with many uprisings. When you are trying to control this amount of peopl you need the people to consent to their oppression. They saw that the black people were no longer willing to just march and be brutalised. They saw they were willing to fight back and die if necessary. They knew they had to make significant offers to effectively shut down the civil rights movement and they did. This man was a coward not a saver of his people. He colluded with his enemy and recruited others to do so. Black people are this way world over. This is why we are seen as fools they can use and abuse always.
