Jim Crow of the North | Redlining and Racism in Minnesota | Full Documentary
Roots of racial disparities are seen through a new lens in this film that explores the origins of housing segregation in the Minneapolis area. But the story also illustrates how African-American families and leaders resisted this insidious practice, and how Black people built community - within and despite - the red lines that these restrictive covenants created.

#Redlining #JimCrowOfTheNorth #BlackHistory #Education #Racism #documentary
This documentary is a much needed eye opener. I just can't wrap my head around a neighborhood who is " whites only." It breaks my heart to see the " hidden" ignorance, and hate people forced on communities. My friends and family are beautifully diverse. To think that hidden Jim Crow laws in Minnesota would have told some of my loved ones that they couldn't be schooled or buy homes.😔 My husband's mentor Norman happens to be an elderly black man who grew up on " farm" plantation. He wasn't allowed to ride the school bus. He was a poor abandoned kid work at the farm.. and didn't own shoes so he had to miss school all winter because he couldn't walk barefoot the long way to school in the cold. He overcame and succeeded in life. He also has a very loving kind heart and in his retirement volunteered to help others. Our elders are so brave! They deserve to be honored and respected. I hope we never deny the struggles of our others and support our communities being inclusive compassionate and celebrate diversity!
Minneapolis is now only 60% white, so things have changed. Unfortunately, with crime rate of 58 per one thousand residents, Minneapolis has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in seventeen.
@@astralclub5964 So what do Minnesotans do? Keep voting for Democrats. What a bunch of dolts.....
That's all well and good but being raised by people who experienced this type of hate directly. In many ways things are better for myself and for future generations. In other ways, things are much much worse. You can't imagine anything being "whites only" because you have lived a lifetime of privilege which you did nothing to earn. Even as a young black kid in the 1990's riding my bike with friends. There were certain boundaries that existed and if you crossed over into them. You were quickly notified of such and that your presence was not wanted there. Even as a 12 year old boy just riding his bike in the summer. Your heart breaks? I highly doubt that, it's just that even putting yourself in such a position in life. One in which you are judged solely on the color of your skin. Even for 5 minutes, is something that you do not have the ability to do. Nor do you have the desire. Why would you? If I had a systematic advantage for myself and my children based on something that I played no role in building or maintaining. I would be just like you and most. I would revel in it and take full advantage of it every single day of my life!
In God's eyes you're still the enemy.
@@712Clothing_ Nice! Now we are speaking for God.... Good luck with that Congo Bat.
Malcolm X once said, "It's not just the South! As long as you're south of the Canadian border, you're in the south!"
Didn't he say it!!! He said to STOP sayn SOUTH
Canada was as bad as the US
AMEN!!!.
I would beg to differ with Brother Malcolm ...Canada is full of Systemic racism as well ! Since 200 yrs before slavery was abolished here ....it’s still full of racism, brutality, inequality, sexism, marginalized suffer , indigenous people have suffered greatly as well !
TheGuide exactly...hidden , ignored and made it appear as if it’s non existent...remember everyone we were also under British rule the same as the US ....and French who were also cruel !
I learn more things on utube than in any history class.
Watch 13th a film in 2016 and learn the truth about privatizing the prision system and the truth about why they are full. Watch All the Presidents Men and Frost/Nixon and see if you hear the SAME WORDS/PHRASE repeated today in politics, then remember what year we are in and what has changed. Thank you for taking the time to educate yourself and most importantly others.
Agreed
That's because we need to be putting Black History in our Social Studies books as well. While statues are being torn down, we should be addressing issues like this instead of using useless violence.
@@michelled4388 I agree to look at these types of material but always keep in mind who puts the material together. Therefore, I'll look at more than one piece of material on a subject not just the one that agree with my views.Matching material is most accurate and opinions are taken at face value.
@Frank John: Me too and there is something very wrong about that. For things to change that needs to change too. Education on black history has to go much, much deeper, and should not only be done during black history month.
This stuff is STILL happening today. When my father was looking for a home in the 90s, the real estate agents ONLY showed him homes in black neighborhoods. He was told that he couldn’t afford the house he really wanted. Until he finally chose a different agent, then he was finally able to view what he actually wanted.
Mthrfukrs!!
You do realize the 90s were 30 years ago? Right?
@@mickeyshooter5298 But we still have segregated neighborhoods and schools. Do you think that is accident? When I run around my parent’s house today, I am stopped by people saying, “I’ve never seen you around here… where do you live?”… That is so scary as Ahmaud Arbery was because people did think he belonged in that neighborhood exercising.
@@heyheyhey40 people want to be segregated, both black and white. This will never change and fighting it is futile. Our nature as humans makes us automatically wary of anything that’s different. Fighting that is a losing battle, always will be. A colorblind society is a pipe dream, like it or not. Just because people may prefer to live amongst their own, does not make these people racist. Blacks do it too. If blacks are so against segregation, what gives with all the “black only” this and black only that? Black only “safe spaces” on every college campus? Black owned businesses with all black employees, where whites aren’t even welcome as patrons? Black only tv stations and radio channels? Black history month? Diversity hires which shun whites? These things don’t seem too anti-segregation to me. Explain to me please how the things I’ve just mentioned are any different than segregation. Can’t wait to hear how you twist this around. After all, you’re victims right? Always.
Why are Blacks allowed to have their own exclusive neighborhoods and Whites are not? Yes, Black were discriminated upon and were mistreated but Whites wanting to live among their own is not racism, it is what all races want. We need a peaceful and voluntary separation of different races, cultures, etc. IF they choose. As far as the condition of Black neighborhoods, that is not goin to change until Black men start wearing condoms and Black women stop producing multiple, illegitimate kids, by multiple men, whom, like themselves, lack the resources and the desire to raise children.
I’m astounded at how many people didn’t realize how much black people were discriminated against. Black people have been saying this
They didn't want to know, they didn't have to, it wasn't their reality. Its like asking a shark is the ocean safe.
If they acknowledge the racism and discrimination of the past, they would be forced to contend with the continuing racism and discrimination of the present. It's not like it doesn't exist anymore.
a lot of people who don't know, are not from here.
@@jannettb7930 how are they discriminated against in the modern world. Especially compared to back then.
@@rickbee5081 These issues do NOT just evaporate, and black people are STILL discriminated against in modern times. But you ALREADY KNOW THIS. There are people calling for the genocide of black Americans RIGHT NOW on KZhead, don’t act like you haven’t seen it
How can people not understand that these things held black people back??
They choose not to.
Because they don't want to.
Because ignorance is bliss...
Indeed, tell them. I haven't listened to it yet but I live in Minnesota now. Northern Minnesota still has very prejudice people. I'm talking about northern from downtown about 10 miles. They're in their own world. So far behind the city. It was a shame how they lynched those black men traveling with the circus in Duluth, Mn. Today my daughter goes there for her & breakfast every summer. Blacks still can't advance far here either as far as jobs. Expensive to live in city & it's not all that great.
They don't care they still doing this today .
Learning that growing up in the ghetto wasn’t my family’s fault by any means. Helped me to love myself and my family that much more.
cobainzlady not without guidance, an open door, determination to fight and more education. It is easier said than done.
cobainzlady that statement infers that you have an extremely limited knowledge base.
cobainzlady there are places today where you are not welcome, of course laws were passed to stop the practices, but some people will still try to block you, there are clauses in some home owners assoc. that prevent selling then and probably still, redlining and income is a factor and dealing with the wrong folk is also a factor. As late 1992 I had trouble trying to purchase my home, but I wanted it so I fought to get it, if I did not know what to do, I would have been denied.
T. Ameen, I am so happy for your self love and pride. I would like to share a bit of information with you and other readers. This information is not meant to enrage it is meant to inform and encourage research. You are a product of a misguided culture. Your education (our school systems), the immediate environment, and the various media promote a false story and unfair agenda. You are unable see the real problems due to a history of lies, propaganda, monuments, folklore, anthems, statues, and textbooks that have been used to promote one group and suppress other people. “White” people’s version of America’s story is designed to promote them. Read the following books: Sweet Taste of Liberty, A True Story of Slavery and Restitution In America, by W. Caleb McDaniel. Then, read America's Bank, The Epic Struggle to Create the Federal Reserve. Listen to: James Baldwin Debates William Buckley and Rev., Dr. Kings', Other America Speech. I am unable to detect your age from your writing, but I believe you are young. In the 16th Century Jamestown Colony the European Colonists of North America decided to bring twenty Africans to the country to do forced labor. These invaders decided to label themselves “White,” and label the Africans, “black slaves.” While slavery has existed throughout the world for centuries, it is only in the Americas that it was “chattel slavery” thus, creating a “Black Community.” Through the years, “Whites” prospered on the backs of slaves, by selling them, purchasing them for labor, and renting them to other people for laborious tasks (for which the slave owner was paid, but not the slave. After importing Africans for slavery became illegal, slave breeding plantations were created to make more humans to sell the South for land labor. “Whites” made concerted efforts to assure ignorance for a race of people. Whites deliberately, created laws prohibiting the means for educational and financial progress of the African. The African was never meant to achieve and prosper. This was accomplished with the use of the following techniques: (1) By creating a chattel slave community. The child born of a slave mother remained a slave regardless of the father’s race if they were never given freedom papers. (2) Making it illegal and a punishable offense to educate or teach a “Black” person. It was illegal for a slave to read or write. (3) Relegating generations of people to slavery and illiteracy from the cradle to the grave. It was the intention of slave owners to create a legacy of slavery for future generations. (4) Black people were forced to accept the names given to them by “Whites.” (5) “Black” people were forced to speak a foreign language, “English.” (6) “Black” men were psychologically, socially, and sometimes physically castrated. Unable to protect their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters from the rape and whippings performed by “White” men. (7) In 1832, Lincoln was in favor of A National Bank. This formation would have changed the small agrarian banks and the way crops, merchandise, and chattel would be exchanged, and sold on the national markets. The importance of this decision will be clarified, presently. Lincoln made no plans or provisions for the Freed African Slaves (in terms of shelter, police protection, education for employment, and food). (8) The deconstruction of Reconstruction Period after the Civil War. Many "freed" people were forced into share cropping and migrating North with only agrarian and husbandry skills. (9) Andrew Johnson and Ulysses Grant did nothing to help, improve, or protect “Free Africans after the Reconstruction ended in 1868. The Civil War (officially, April 12, 1861-May 9, 1865) was not designed to free the African slaves. It was fought because the South would not agree to join the Union and unite economies and create a geographically larger union. (10) To paraphrase Lincoln, If I must keep slavery to bring the South into the Union without war, I will. If I must allow slavery into other state(s) to avoid going to war, I will. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Lincoln on September 22, 1862, changing the legal status of the more than 3 million African slaves. The document was published and presented to the public on January 1, 1863. Lincoln participated in the selling of Slaves by paying and reimbursing “White” slave owners for their losses due to the war. (11) Yet, most of the Black Soldiers (who were escaped slaves and some born free or freed African men) who fought in the Civil war on the side of the Union Army were never given 40 acres and a mule. Those who did receive acreage were soon pushed off or killed. The Ku Klux Klan was established, in 1865 Those few who did receive a mule were given old Union Army mules that soon died. In other cases, the army took the mules back and reissue the mules as food for the Indians, along with diseased blankets. November 29, 1864: 650 Colorado volunteer forces attack Cheyenne and Arapho encampments along Sand Creek, killing and mutilating more than 150 American Indians during what would become known as the Sandy Creek Massacre. NOTE: 1808, United States President Thomas Jefferson stopped the import of Africans. Importation ended 20 years after the drafting of the United States Constitution. Slave making plantations/farms were created. The slaves were produced and sold south for to work the land. They worked from “kin-ta-kin’t”(working in the early morning when you “can see until late in the evening when you can’t see“) said, BB King 's interview on PBS. Returning to clarify “Banking,” item # (7), The United States is built on an idea that has not been realized to this day. In the Twentieth Century Carter Glass said banking regulations will not help the “former slave community and cause a deterioration of White supremacy…” (see, America’s Bank, The Epic Struggle to Create the Federal Reserve, by Roger Lowenstein. Today, African Americans are approved for loans that require they meet stringent qualifications based on zoning, old codes, and historic red lining; “White” Americans are not subjected, to the same criteria and conditions. There are those who do not believe the descendants of African Slaves are Americans. The current occupant in the White House questioned and still questions the 44th President's citizen status. Never stop reading. When you are too tired to read use audio-books. Give thought to what I have written. Do fact-finding to verify my writings. With out regard for the color of their skin I believe we should teach everything we know; not to create discord, but to promote harmony and equity. When one race is unhappy all races life in fear. If you learn something find a way to tell the rest of us. As Representative John Lewis said, "Do Good Trouble."
@cobainzlady The video touches on this being a nationwide problem multiple times. You seem like a caring person. I encourage you to rewatch it along with the other movies and books I recommended.

Hate is discussed and normalized at the dinner table.
Detroit, Portland, Minneapolis, east St. Louis, LA, Chicago, are all great examples of the progress achieved by housing integration
You left out Oakland, Baltimore, Newark, New Orleans, Memphis...
Amen.
I get what you are saying.
Actually these places are the result of sundown towns and race riots in rural places where people owned farmland. It's the result of the OPPOSITE of housing integration... Hell Oregon was set up as a sundown STATE... It's kind of hard to live anywhere other than where you're allowed to live. I travel for a living btw. I see it first hand.
"In South Africa, they preach separation and practice separation, in America, we preach integration and practice segregation" - Malcolm X 1963

Grateful for such documentaries. Helps me understand my husband better. I’m African. At times we think AAs aren’t just getting it without us learning how the system was designed to continue segregation.

How fitting this documentary is considering what has recently taken place in Minnesota.
The more things change the more they stay the same. It just shows you that things haven't progressed nearly enough for people of color. The road is long and we're not even half way there towards racial equality.
@@jalicea1650 would you rather be alive today or 100 years ago?
@@mscar7609Would I want to live back then? That's a false choice as I'm not a time traveler, but it's not an either/or choice, racism is self perpetuating and still alive. People are still denied the right to vote, still get judged by their perceived race and ethnic background. That needs changing.
@@jalicea1650 My point is we are far less racist than 100 years ago, there is no argument against that. Nobody is denied a right to vote unless you do something to lose the privilege, for example, being convicted of a felony (considering the voters' turnout in elections today this is largely an irrelevant point).
@Liam Lians the average life expectancy is about 78 years old, they all mostly dead.

This is sad, in many aspects it’s still happening today.
for simple fact is the whites actually believe that theyre jews and in the bible is says to keep blks and whites seperated.... segregation is caused by this also
Where? Let's fight it together Shom me where this is happening
Keep them apart because it don't work mixing races. It's happening all over the world . In the perfect world we all get on together and live happily ever after . But it doesn't happen like that . Racism will always be here on earth and we have to except it. We're there's people we have problems.
This holds wealth away for generations.
@cobainzlady you should get more educated on the issue, but I understand the point you're TRYING to make.
That all its ever been about
We can be slaves in their house, our mother's can nurse their kids but they don't want to live by us.
This shit is about them being force to give up owning slaves. That's why they refuse to be called racist because they have convince themselves down through the years that its us that keep talking about the past but your still benefiting from your ancestors owning slaves using free labor.And if it was just left there maybe we could look past it but there were select blacks that were killed and cheated out of there land do to lies and little education. not to mention the fact that they purposely kept us from being able to purchase land and in some cases businesses.
Even today I can work with my boss in corporate America but I will never be their neighbor
mynameis mynameis by disparate pay 💰, two college educated, one, the black one, been there longer, years, the new one white starts at $5k more than the black one for the same type of duties, that’s why. If you don’t know it happens can’t speak on it, but I found out, and demanded that the lesser paid employee receive a raise to bring wages up to par, no argument about it either, heck they even reviewed my salary scale too and I received an adjustment.
Ragnar Sims that’s not everywhere, it still exist.
@Ragnar Sims Here goes the same old argument, just because your grandfather had a black neighbor doesn't change the fact that segregation is real. You're acting as if you don't have any idea what the video is talking about!
It really appalls yet educates me more and more when I watch and listen to stories that depict the harsh treatments of African Americans (I am black myself) within various cities and states that I was never before taught in school smh. I am eternally thankful for educators and historians for bringing all of these stories to light for every American and for those all over the world to see. ❤
I'm very thankful my grandma told me the truth about the hate an the ugly blacks went through . Know your history before they try to hide it as they are now .the more we know the better we understand the struggles.i an white grew up dirt poor I can relate to that . But to be so discriminated against no school separate drinking fountains an so much more we haven't heard half of the god awful truth about those days . Even now they aiming to keep poor folks poor . Minimum wage 7.25 for how many years?

@@kevinb9830 You think everyone has a price because your a true believer in capitalism.
@@kimobrien. Thanks for letting me know.
@@kevinb9830 Just like the 1959 Cuban revolution the Black workers and farmers defeated the American capitalist system of segregation with two tied wages and privileges.
This is another reason why reparations is very reasonable and very much deserved to this day. My grandfather fought in world war 2 and was red lined when he got back in Michigan when he passed the house was worth 15000 dollars in 2020.
Also the goal of redlining was to have just enough Black's in a particular area so that every penny that blacks made would go into the hands of the small business owners, in the greater white surrounding communities.
Good point.
That's interesting! I never thought about that.
Till this day.
Why blame whites or someone else for the outcome of their life. If a person is not keen to this answer. They will be blaming someone else for the outcome of their life for the rest of their life. Respectfully please think about this!
We blacks need to go back to africa and show those whites what we are made off
Housing discrimination was only one of dozens of aspects of Jim Crow.
Hi Nora ❤❤❤
The subtleties of Jim crow are in the new deal, the social security act of the 1920's housing covenants, ect. Every progressive politician has used hidden agendas to work against minorities, and specially our black brothers and sisters. Nothing taught in public school exposes these lies.
Aryans are Indians and have zero to do with white people. They never used the word in history until Hitler had an identity crises
@Channing White So what she's white she's speaking the truth something your racist wouldn't dare to do snowflake

You're wright the protest in America today is not the fault of the police or those four police men who were involved in George Floyds death and definitely not the fault of Donald trump, these racist acts have been happening as far as racism goes in America so you need to have some knowledge and wisdom about the past before you go around judging everyone you can find or anyone they tell you is racist for example these White Democrats of today will tell you that the republicans and trump are racist while their fore fathers were involved in slavery and were the greatest supporters of it and all forms of discrimination and unfortunately passed it down to their children's children and now we are experiencing it today while Abraham Lincoln the founder of the republican party ended slavery.

I have been asking why God has allowed white people treat us this way without punishing them for all their evil deeds.
Sheila Mchgee You are deeply mistaken. We all forget that one day we will stand before God and give an account of how we spent our days. Do not think that God is slow to Judge or punish. No, He is not like us. Believe me, He will judge everyone for their deeds. I agree that in the meantime, we must stand up to oppression and not close your eyes while our fellow human beings are persecuted. I believe that people who came before us as activists and prophets were messengers of God. This is so that when God judges, no one can stand before Him to say “ I didn’t know” or “I am innocent” I will stand up to oppression wherever I see it but I wait for God’s judgement too. Nobody else will do it better!
We did it to ourselves read Deuteronomy 28:15 to 68. We are the Ancient Israelites surving punishment for disobeying the LAW of God.
@Sheila Mchgee wow, He doesn't know how to punish and judge? Haha, you are totally blind. What do you think is happening to us? This is punishment! We turned our backs on the Most High, and broke our blood covenant with him. He is using them to punish us. But, we are waking up! His people are crying out to Him. Now, about these whites. YAHUAH woll get them good for what they have done to his people. We are waking up to who we are, and they are waking up too. YAH is actually preparing them for blood. They love the taste of blood sp blood will follow them! All they did to us is gonna happen to them. Every knee is gonna bow to The Most High. You see what He did to Egypt when He told Pharaoh to " Let Me people go"? Well" this is gonna happen to USA! They will pay for the evil they have done to YAHUAH'S people.

This still happens today. Every where you look in every county in this country. Just open your eyes. People are shown houses where they are more than likely to be excepted.
Why would you even wanna live in all white neighborhood if you’re a minority?
I have moved to a northern area of this country for about a year now. At that time we were looking for a home our realtor took us to a diverse neighborhood. It was nice but I also wanted to see a different neighborhood close by. The neighborhood I wanted to see seems to have nicer and bigger houses. I asked my realtor to take us over there since we were pre-approved to an amount that those nice houses fall into. He refused to take us over there and made an excuse that the neighborhood were “snobs”. I let it go. Later on, I found out that a friend of a friend was somehow shown a house in that neighborhood and bought it. Mind you, that friend of a friend and I were of the same race. The only difference was the person who was able to buy a house in that neighborhood was a lot fairer than I am. Now, just wondering if that neighborhood really know the race of people they are letting in there or they simply look at the shade and if they are “pale” then it’s a go.

Gentrifications is Jim Crow!! I work very hard in Washington DC and my rent is sky rocketing at unprecedented paces because they’re reforming and more whites are moved into the city. This documentary goes to show how and why black peoples are behind whites in this country in regards inheritance. We were not allowed to buy decent houses even if we had the money.
Why do you want to live around opposite race perhaps because you hate your own people like everyone else does
I'm in a totally different city in the south and I'm watching them do the same thing..
It’s happening in my native NYC as well. Most notably Harlem has fairly recently become “gentrified” as have many parts of Brooklyn (Bedford Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, etc). Unscrupulous realtors typically offer black folks more money than they expect (yet way under market value) for their homes. Seeing white families move in, prices skyrocket (and after a couple generations realizing the north isn’t very different) inspire many POC to move back to their southern roots. True, there are many “mixed race” neighborhoods here in NYC but by and large people do feel more comfortable living among like people. It’s even true among whites hence mostly Italian, German, Greek, Russian, (etc etc) ethnic areas.
Facts!
Patrice Coullers seems to be buying plenty of mansions.
I'M GLAD your finally being honest about the racism in the North. I am from the South and we all know what happened here, and I am against it and for it being know but I saw more racism in the North and segregation by neighborhood, when I went there and that was in 1986-87 which in the South we already had integrated neighborhoods.

It is the same in many countries. However it should not define you. The most important thing is current racism. Yes good to learn the history of where it came from and the bad things that happened. We should not cherry pick the positive things and leave out the painful things because it suits. We should not deny our pasts. History should be about educating us and about learning from our mistakes and progress. Not continuing those mistakes. Not living in the past for those past mistakes but making changes to current thinking and not letting history repeat itself.
L Mac ..like how many other country do you see black people treated this way ,besides colonization of Africa ? Which happens to be black continent
@@Reason_77 Hello I hope you did not take my words "the same" to mean I felt everywhere was equal. It was not to minimise it was to say yes racism occurs in many countries. So sorry if it came across as something different but that is all I meant by that. I do believe racism not just toward black but Asian communities too exists in many countries. to different degrees and I am trying to learn about that to. Better than just denying it exists. I think it exists in my own country and am learning about that more also. I am currently learning about the US in particular because there is so much history about it and publicity about it. Same as I have in the past with South Africa apartheid for example. No matter what country it is in though it is wrong and that is why I am trying to understand and learning in more depth than I had before origins and current racism. Also being white I am trying to learn from the viewpoint of a black person and therefore it is important to go way back through history. I cannot fully empathise as I am not black but I can try to understand more and see it from a different viewpoint. To me that is important. Of course re the US I knew alot already about the history but good to always learn more. There is alot going on in the UK currently about Black Lives Matter and I am trying to learn more no matter what country it is in. Obviously the US is a big part of that. I think it is good not to be a denier but to educate oneself as best one can and I like to hear different attitudes from black or asian people I come across either face to face (friends and acquaintances) or of course people on line that I do not know. Of course even then I get different viewpoints and different opinions. PS: This reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend way back. She was French African and we would discuss quite alot as I sometimes couldnt understand where she was coming from with regard to reactions to situations she had with others. We agreed on some things and not others. I did say at the time the only way I could really get where she was coming from was to spend a week in the skin of a black woman. She understood and as a white person it can, even with learning history etc be really difficult to feel it fundamentally because we are not black. Yes we can be outraged by racism, disgusted by it, but to feel it is whole new level.
L Mac ... Thank you for the clarification sir. We know now that racism itself is not an event but a system created to make people of color subordinates..So many copycat nation were also under the white control (colonization) and choose to follow the blueprint . There’s a reason why some black people too hate their blackness because the white dominant sold the the concept of being better so much that they become believable..

I was brought up in an all white neighbourhood in the 80s and 90s, in Australia. I didn't know it was an all white neighbourhood - I don't remember anyone ever mentioning race. When I was around 12, I remember watching the news and seeing an Aboriginal woman crying while talking about the murder of her child It affected me profoundly because I hadn't realised that "they" felt the same as "we" would. It left me with a feeling that absolutely shocked me - it shocked me that I'd never thought about it, and it shocked me that a part of my brain hadn't expected it. I wasn't brought up with words to have been racist at that time. I was brought up by lack of experience and exposure. It was as though other people didn't exist, and as they didn't exist, they certainly couldn't feel or think as deeply as we could. Well thought out segregation, as in segregation that is so ingrained that no one feels the need to speak, discuss or acknowledge it, is, in my opinion, the worst form of racism. It doesn't just dehumanise others, but denies their existence.

Powerful people never teaches powerless people how to take power away from them . If a people can't treat you right , where's no way in the world that they will teach you right . Never hip the lame to the game , because the game will never be the same !
Great comments again! Not going to believe this, in 1939 THE NEGR0 PROJECT was founded to lower the Black population in America called eugenics. It worked! 38% of Black pregnancies are terminated, over 50% in NYC. About 80% of Black women are overweight, least likely to marry, most in debt and 78% of their children have no Dad. 1854 founded to STOP SLAVERY? Republican Party 1860 founded to KEEP SLAVERY? Democrat Party Republicans literally beat the Democrats in the Civil War in 1865. THE NEGR0 PROJECT is now called Planned Parenthood. Check this information, it's true.
It's true but we're living in a different time
The freeway was built right through the black neighborhood here in my city too. And many other cities. I think it was a national plan. Gentrification is on steriods here also.
I concur. I'm from Kansas City, Kansas.
Racial covenants are good they protect white homes and black neighborhoods from gentrification
@@georgeboehringer5530 No it doesn't. You need to look up that word and read how it is defined. What will stop the White Gentry from sprawling over into some beat-up Black part of town, put there by long ago by some "racial covenant" and force move-outs of it's denizens to soon after commence teardown and renovation of homes previously lived in by poor Black families?
Yup same thing here in detroit. They ran a freeway through our business district black bottom and paradise valley
Yup here in Minnesota it's heavy so is segregation that Minnesota nice shit is a myth and lie.
Restricted covenants are contracts and the court system agrees. This is so sad. The harassment that these people face is ridiculous.
Very interesting but extremely sad for me to see. The outcome of these practices are what we see in black lives today. Heartbreaking in so many ways.
Watch 13th a film in 2016 and learn the truth about privatizing the prision system and the truth about why they are full. Watch All the Presidents Men and Frost/Nixon and see if you hear the SAME WORDS/PHRASE repeated today in politics, then remember what year we are in and what has changed. Thank you for taking the time to educate yourself and most importantly others.
Sadly, many want to pretend those practices have no effect on Black lives today.
@@shejmacfyoutuization You are correct. It's tiresome to try to explain historical facts to people who don't want to know the truth. This documentary is nothing new to me, but it's still heartbreaking.
This is why CRT is such a bad thing to MAGA world
So what do you plan to do about it will you speak up and speak out. Tell Biden to give Reparations to the FBA on our lands.
I moved out from MN because of racism in 2007. Racism is still going strong there, and that's why I am not surprised they are facing their fate now.
I believe you.Beyond Sad.
I remember the first black students in grade school they was two young girls me and my girlfriend we were best friends we will all the way through high school together as well
I’m very proud with how the local Minneapolis community have “progressed” over the last few years. So many people are supportive of the “cause”.
Please. Nice try.
@@voidaccount12345hating on your fellow humans will not get you anywhere and it will definitely not make you rich.
I just finished "Letter from a Birmingham jail" by MLK "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". MLK "Justice too long delayed is justice denied". MLK "An unjust law is no law at all". St. Augustine "An [unjust law] is a code that a numerical or power majority compels a minority group to obey but doed not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal". "A [just law] is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal." The "white moderate", who is devoted to order than to justice. Who prefers a negative peace, which is the absence of tension, to a position peace, which is the presence of justice. Who constantly says "I agree with you, in the goals you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action". When it comes to justice, time is a myth. The time is always NOW. "Shallow understand from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
This is happening RIGHT NOW on many states!
It's happening right now today in EVERY state.
So true Jim has many homes in America.
ANOTHER DELUSSIONAL POOTYPANTS ==== YOUR PECEPTION IS HOLLOW ===BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER LOOK AT HISTORY == A SHALLOW THINKER THAT CAN BE BAITED BY THE THE AL SHARTON'S INSTEAD OF THE THOMAS SOWELL OF PRESENT TIME ===== THE IRISH IN NEW YORK CITY HAD TO PUT UP WITH UNBELIEVABLE RACISM==== IN THIS COUNTRY IN THE LATE ERA OF AMERICA ======BUT OF COARSE YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT THAT IS WHY YOU ARE A GUPPIE ==AND SHALLOW THINKER ===
correction this never stop happening it has been going on for generations
@@beesollom-yp1pp Really...knuckle dragger.😂😂
Thank you for doing all of this.
These situations are still in place today, I try to avoid them as much as they try to avoid us.
This is very informative. It ALL makes sense now.
Need to get this type of research done in the Detroit area..i knew about red lining but had no idea about racial covenants
Racial covenants were in all states. They also included Jews. Also, when they started building housing projects, by federal law, they had to be segregated. Also no funds were to be used for the upkeep of the projects.
All cities, everywhere.
@24:22 "The dogs were poisoned "When I lived in Alpharetta, GA as a kid the Yt ppl killed the two poodles of a well-known Blk man. They made it look like they were both hit by a car, but the kids in the neighborhood told me that it was intentional and not an accident. Yt ppl really don't like it when blk ppl are doing financially better than them, especially when they are younger too. This was in recent times. Things don't change much.
My heart aches for your journey here. My heart sings that you are here. I cannot imagine this country without black folk. It would be so boring...like milktoast!
