- Robert Culp (I-Spy) hosts this bizarre documentary from 1969, which ostensibly is designed to deprogram white people from their cultural bias against blacks, but by the end, completely flips to demonstrate the need for black pride and a Nationalistic culture. Imagine walking into a social studies class back in the day and being show this. It has to be seen to believed. Featuring a young Michael Richards (Seinfeld) as a racist bully.

You got that right, so many people still sleep...

Perceived racism is much worse than actual racism in modern day America
Great documentary. The real American, the real truth. This
video should be shown in schools
Nationally. Expose the past, adjust the present and future .
@David M David, you make me be ashamed of being white. Kidnapping millions of people, transporting them to another continent, enslaving them and building the wealth of a country on their suffering, only to make condescending, cheap and degrading jokes on their descendants in the end. Gimme a break, man...
That baby looked at the woman at the beginning like she had lost her mind, immediately stopped smiling as soon as she dropped the "N" bomb.
Mubupo corrupting the child's mind, sad
But rappers saying nigger in every other song is just fine?
@ When black folks call each other that it's a term of endearment, that is a fact. When white folks use it, can we be sure of their intent?
@itsWonieak notMonique That's real talk.
@ Well tell 'em to stop got dammit.
Surviving against all odds! All black peoples are truly champions!
They been trying to genocide us since day one, and we still here
I THINK THE ASIANS DID A BIT BETTER THAN THE AFRICANS !!
ODDS ?? LOOK AT THE CHINES AND IRISH !! AND THEY ARE DOING OK !
JUST GO TO SCHOOL !!! IT WONT BE NEARLY AS HARD !!
@@flatearth9140 yeah, they have been given economic incentives and leverage to do just that. If it comes down to them taking over, White Supremacy will take them down in a heartbeat. Truly a sad species of people...
Thank you ReelBlack for all of these very interesting films!
Excellent documentary, Robert Culp was the host.
If I am EVER in a position AGAIN to require students to watch and reflect on societal issues, THIS will indeed be on my syllabus.
the irony of the dude who said, "they don't have ambition" while getting a darker complexion was comedic.
Wow. Still facing the same problems in 2019
LoL what can I do LoL 👍🏾
@@thenbwkmtkspktrminc.4613 educate other black people on this. Knowledge and education is a very powerful thing. You're not going anywhere in the world without it.
Can't see Lena Dunham's mum in this documentary. Love to know where she got her white privilege from.

Stop knit-picking.
Thank you so much Reelblack for showing us these old films. Not much has changed has it?
I think individually it’s changed with one on one relationships but not in general.
Being 63 and white, I have seen the situation improve dramatically *until the last decade* . I don't know how we got here. Things were advancing steadily, not for everyone of course, but I truly believe we were on the right track. Ever since the 2008 crash, things have steadily gone downhill. It's like I woke up one day and was back in the 60's. I'm here trying to understand why.
@@AGirlHasNoName829 I think you know why and how. By you being a white person, it's up to you to get other white people to see the racism and prejudice, black people go through every single day. It's not up to black people. We are tired of trying to convince white people at this point in time. It's up to people like you to show other white folks the era of their ways. Stop being in denial of the cruelty blacks have endured by your people. I think another possible solution is to believe that white children that are now adults were not educated about black people and slavery, especially whites from the South. There has to be a conversation starting with the truth.
Yeah, becaue the dream is about over everyone fighting for survival. Trying to elevate and live this American dream. Competition is high, division, and hatred
Their is no such thing as an American dream for us
This film was a required watch in 1974 when I was in elementary school.
This was the 60s a damn shame it's only been 2%change
I'm not prejudice but today it's still pretty much a whitey world cause if the White people say it's extremely for best for Black s it's pretty much easy to be the or get the best but that's pretty much a fucking lie but slavery some what exist today but more on some kind of a bittersweet of a twist zero that over that 300yrs of that ignorant so called slavery shit .it might be easy for the White people for us to have the best but that's majority on a bitter over a somewhat sweet Ness of the deal but the Goddam struggles are still there one way or another.give back is one thing but for now we're waiting on some kind s of racial miracle s or a government make over but a democrats got too be on the straight and narrow against some whitey guy ultimately named Donald Trump y but God bless America but Biden put that Trump y creep out of office.good luck

At least we loved,dated, and married each other back then...We had each other. We have to turn back towards each other. Commit to B1.
We sure did

@@cressapellom4205 I wish people would stop taking these sayings that have been floating around like they're the actual word of god.. when really they're just suggestions to keep things as they've been.
1969-2017 SAME THING

2020 same shit and we're piiiiiiissssed
Things actually worse you forget daddy bush baby bush Ronald Reagan Nixon and now the fool we have in office now and some of the Democrats tooback then least you can get a factory job and somewhat survive with no education that is going today
1969-2021 same effing shit.🤷🏾♂️
Racist still hate us.
Much mad respect to the narrator.....Robert Culp teamed up with a black comedian back in 1965 to make a tv series called, “I Spy”...the first network television program to feature both WHITE and BLACK equal billing....the two became close friends and both went onto meteoric acting careers....I think we all know who Culp’s partner was...
Before I SPY, Robert Culp’s FIRST series was TRACKDOWN , a Western in which he played a Texas Ranger.
czcams.com/video/qTCa3wnElxM/video.html
Oooops! I guess we won't mention who Culp's costar was! 🙂
I’m watching this and it’s 2019 . Yet this is still going on
I remember as an African-American not being allowed to come into my white friend's apartment because his mother was racist. He said I could come in but only for a few mins. I told him its ok and I didn't want to come in at all. If I'm too black or you are too racist then how will we ever be able to co-exist in harmony. Hatred of the heart & mind means ignorance of the spirit and in return causes human beings to be void of knowledge, wisdom & understanding!!!
Yes. It's very difficult for you or I to lower our IQ levels down so low to comprehend people that actually think(?) that way, isn't it. Sad.
@TrevinHickman,I know exactly how you must have felt.I recall back in the late ninety I experience racism at a doctor's appointment where white child was drawing a picture of a black person hanging by a noose.and the sad part about that was I'm assuming the adult was her mom sit there and said nothing but smiled.i thought wow this child isn't old enough to be racist but is being taught it.. so sad to say the least.
@@dawnpeters1220 sickening, I'm sorry sister for your bad experience, jealousy against our culture is outrageous. They want to be us that's all💯
I experienced racism on 3/4th of all the jobs I had
You were NOT called African American back then 🌝
My buddy is in this, he told me about it last night and I looked it up, he had never even seen it. Glad someone posted this, although it is pretty crazy to watch. And even sadder how little progress we’ve made as a society.
Which one is your friend?
@@ariesgirl9592 yeah which one 🤔
How do you not put a time stamp? I guess since we don’t know you it doesn’t matter. Every Black Person in here is somebody’s buddy. 🤷♂️
I literally cried watching this. I see why some people don't want this taught in schools. Btw it's not taught or EVER will be to kids in America. This is so sad but a GREAT lesson. Thank you for posting this
@David Dillion this is exactly why we as people of color must teach our children their culture and history so they are well informed of their real history that is watered down in school's.Thats the saddest part of all because of how the pale faced man tried to kill of our true culture as well.
Dude shutup lmao
the more things change the more they stay the damn same
YES I KNOW !! BLACKS STILL DONT WANT TO WORK !!
FLAT EARTH and white ppl don’t know how to mind their damn business.....🙄😒🖕🏽

I turned 6 years old in 1969 Los Angeles. I remember these clothes and hair styles, music, I remember people speaking this way. It's funny to look back at this time....
I was in Los Angeles too. I am a civil rights buff. Yes, it brings back a lot of memories. :)
Thank you SO much for uploading this. A film challenging us to learn and practice equality. A great message from a great spokesperson, Mr. Robert Culp, a man who was the civil rights movement during and after I Spy’s run.
And why would anybody give this video a thumbs down? SMH
The thumbs down.. TRIGGGGGGERD
Didn't Bill Cosby costar on the show? Everybody loved Bill Cosby.

Because the truth hurts

8:05 Growing up I heard this on occasion from friends and family members. Even as a young boy, it never made any sense to me. 🤷♀️ Think for yourself. Truth trumps EVERYTHING! It supersedes familial bonds, friendship ties, religion, national allegiance, racial & ethnic heritage and political beliefs.
I'm glad this channel is here. Most of this film is still true 2020 but change is finally happening with the New Black Media. B1
Watching in 2020, same old America, never that great.
That depends on how you were raised. If you were raised to hate whites, you'll probably hate whites until Someone greater than you comes to the rescue... like Jesus Christ.

They showed us this film when I was in high school in the early 70's.
Time capsule interesting.
Absolutely disgusting! Great post and very informative if you know how to dissect it. Keep the information coming!
around 32 minutes the question was asked what can I do? it's seems the government came along and did something,derailed progression,no more unions jobs,no health care, no more industry,Mass incarsiration, more illegal imagration,poor inner school funding, I could go on, but the picture is gotten, I'm a victim of circumstances in America's injustice social order! I'm black and I love Billy Joel song( Allen Town) it sums it up well
Greg Hampton you know how much money they make exploiting black people! Watch ‘selling of the negro’ desegregation only came about so government could get out of debt and use the black dollar for consumerism for their pockets.

Ain't nothing changed. Except blacks dont fight the way we did a few years prior to this film. Now we gladly play along.
Agreed. Many of us are complacent.
Check out gdash the prophet anf hebrew to negro
Yes things did change! Like Paul mooney said racism is now covert instead of overt. Making us all believe it ended.
Wake up & fight back have no fear of them they fear us !!!!
Sad but true.
Everything is the same. 2020
It really is
Same in 2021
4:53 - 4:58 - " No one ever gave me anything. I made it because I deprived myself until I was successful" = Im a Black man and these are very powerful words that if applied, can spell success for anyone of any race.
shhh dont tell its all a part of the trick
Keep believing that
Was he telling us the truth?
Two words “generational wealth”! Something that the BIPOC community doesn’t have the privilege of coming from.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Thank you for sharing this video.
You're very welcome
I'll never understand how anyone can b proud to be American...
Or British. These white Americans did come from Britain.
@@NoName-zi9st The term white people came into American laws by British elitist they were afraid because they were so little women over here and then black men were getting the ladies, they had to enact laws to make sure that they could keep some women to themselves, before that blacks and whites were getting married before they stopped it .
Black people existed since the days of kmt in the empires of Africa
As far as i know, white people existed since the 1600s
@@ThereAreNoBlackPpl yeah and my point still stands. Any white person or (whatever you want to call them) in America is not a native, they are European.
REALLY ? HOW ABOUT THE FIRST COUNTRY TO ABOLISH SLAVERY !!
After traveling the 🌎 doing work and trying to give fellow people help with basic needs it became clear I should be grateful to be American
Interesting how you never hear the term "African-American" used... The plain language of this film is refreshing. 1969 = 2017...smh
Pcaan Taan, we are a Unique People and therefore we are undefinable 🤷🏽♀️
@@wegotthis973 nothing unique about you
The term "African-American" shouldn't be used at all, unless an African actually becomes an American citizen. Blacks that were born in America should be called,"Black Americans", or,"Americans", imo. I doubt that even .01% of black Americans even stepped foot inside Africa.
@PcannTaan No!!! That term was around in the 1800s
Realblack you have some really good content.
This is very good. Thank you for uploading.
Now, in 2020 post Covid19 (we hope), whites are about to understand some of the fundamentals of this video. Incentive of huge unemployment benefits has already shown people will choose not to work when given the option. With the rise of technology, this will become more widespread. A system MUST be developed to compensate for the loss of jobs, thus hope for the upcoming generation as well as those who were once part of "productive" society. The golden age will be preceded by much pain and misery. We must come together...there is no choice. The wealth gap *must* be bridged. How is up to us all. Our civilization for future generations depends on it. The answer is communication and love. Make it happen...please!
Good question: "How many world wars has the black man started?" The sister in the video asked. Her skin color was very beautiful!👏👏😎
Annnnnnd, here in 2020: Same soup just reheated.
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same. The only difference is that people used to me more honest about their racist beliefs and prejudices. Today the vast majority is all "Huh?" "What?" "Get over it" etc. But they know.
"A house divided against it's self cannot stand." -Mark 3:25 Didn't originate with Lincoln.
It's not standing anymore. I feel nothing.
The opening scene with the white boy kissing the black boy was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen😢
He wasn't kissing him he was telling him something in his ear
It wasn't beautiful it was weird. If you look at the face of the black child he was uncomfortable. Totally invading that Black child's personal space.😒
Bro this is so deep
The tragedy the racial disparity is still going on but thank you for the information I need this because without education you can't change your situation.
Sadly this vid is still relevant.
14:44 Well...now we all know that Michael Richards wasn't acting
That scene pissed me off.😡😡😡
just a "coincidence" that he wanted to try out for the part in this film... ...sure... ...acting
@@matthewlehman7937 LOL!
Thank you so much for uploading this. Many have referenced 1968 and "law and order" with what's happening now in 2020 with the Trump re-election campaign, like Nixon on steroids. Full circle we are, the evolution must be better this time, we are our own becoming.
Too bad about the warp in the sound track, it'd be good if it was restored.
I never noticed that "Afro-American" was a term that existed in the 60's.
I've never heard of this film before. I'm going to spread the word about it.
Im listening.. And as a "white" woman.. This is my 5th doc from reelblack. I was never taught black and white bc my mom is from Brazil.. So she didnt know bc she also worked for the white man.. But now as I look white (my dad's from North border Canada, and I look "privliaged" I will share why the blacks are where they are bc of lack of opportunity. From the beginning when they were free from slavery, blacks did not have education to pass along to their children to get a better job.. And couldn't.. At least in the south. The system has completely failed the black society. By giving them help and Welfare has only hurt. It was the American way of saying "here we'll just pay you from all the damage we've done" but it's barely enough to get by.. I'm blown away and have learned more about this at 44 than I have ever known. Here's the question. Do we teach our children that it was never fair? Do we teach them that black lives are no different than white. As a homeschool mother, I intend to teach my kids the way of this history and why we are here.. I just want to make sure that my kids understand that there is no difference between black and white Spanish or German.. Irish, English.. All is dark history. We are all mothers to children and want them to have better then us.. we have to embrace the different cultures, the different foods, the different way we talk, we just have to somehow come together and just all get along.
Their is really no difference genetically to determine race. However, there are man made social constructs that establish division and pecking orders. Yet, no real differences. You compare people in similar circumstances. You see they react similarly. Yet, divisions and fear, xenophobia is here to stay. Especially as long as resources are limited. There must be an answer to why ghettos exist, and police brutality, and etc
Still relevant for the 2020’s...this time round this important subject will NOT go away until we eradicate the outstanding issues 😡
so this coulda been made yesterday...wow you could own a home at 10-12000 a year...wowzers!
Thanks Reelblack🤗
All of this is done purposely
To a Black person, this s all so obvious it's almost dark comedy
Why are these people so afraid of people who aren't the same color as them, as if other have to prove something to them. Whatever it is they are still playing scared.
I recognize the narrator from film. I never knew he was such a good guy in real life. Cheers to people like him. I hope to see more of him.
Much respect
I know right 💞👍🏼
Excellent documentary 💕
@reelblack i believe this film did not demonstrate the need to for a black Nationalistic american culture. i believe it demonstrated the reverse torque if u will, needed in order to equalize america. black power=power to the people=equality. it sounds nationalistic, perhaps supremacist, but you must build an oppressed people back up through rhetoric that is black focused in order to kick start self-empowerment. this is not nationalistic this is black-centric for the purpose of equality... crazy film. so glad to have been able to watch it.
Uhm . . . . Yeah 🌚👍🏾
Imagine thinking it's evil to put your own people first.
Very interesting and informative film for all those who want to learn and be better human beings, truly loving their neighbours as themselves.
Aman sister. God loves you and everyone.
9:39 Listen to the speach. Its beautiful. No cussin. No fightin. Shes not cussin her kids out or disrespectin her mama. AND LOOK! SHES NOT SHAKIN HER WOUMB AND LABIA MAJORAS ALL IN TH DAM CAMERA. Ill just listen to hr in a loop allday. WOW! Real english..
315 S Camden Ste 400 Beverly Hills Like most black women I know.
It's normal to be uncomfortable around the unknown, but the cruelty and disrespect is unacceptable. Children when they are young are innocent yet curious. When I went to my cousins wedding, that was a mixed couple, the little kids that was of different races was playing with each other and asking different questions about appearances. We as adults try to ignore our differences to try and be neutral. This doesn't fix the problem. Be real. You will be amazed at how far it goes when meeting people from different cultures and background. This documentary was interesting and it involves race relations but can be applied to anyone who is different.
Yeah when people say “they don’t see color” it’s disingenuous, children still notice differences they just don’t care for them
Missing husbands and fathers is the problem.
"A house divided against itself cannot stand." A great man sure did say that. In fact, the greatest man who ever walked this earth said it first; JESUS CHRIST!!! (Mark 3:25)
The Bible teaches alot of division and examples of the "chosen". Then, you wonder why some feel dignified and justified in oppression
As a Black African all I can say on hate: Hate is taught to us, I remember back in 2007 when my country (Kenya) had elections, as soon as deceit was smelt in the air one tribe turned on another, my own families and relatives taught tribal hate and prejudice against a certain tribe and it sinked deep into my mind as a child, luckily exposure helped me see life clearly for what one and who one is...
Excellent documentation.!
How ironic that Michael Richards plays a racist bully, lmao😂
Nothing has changed with yt folks.Still using coded language
Wow. Deep comment. Make me think. Love when that happens.
Gives me chills and sadness this is still what we are out our mouths
Jesus you can hear all of the examples given to this day. Love each other.
It's the Character, no one can help the Skintone they're born with.
Sir I wish more of the black community thought like you. The comments I seen lately from them doesn't show the same thinking at all. Appreciate the positivity
damn this film is accurate
Scariest soundtrack ever.
😂
Why is it that almost all of the Black people in this film had to sound all hip and street when they spoke. It appears that the only exception was the suburban girl that was showing off the house. And even they had to make her sound "white". This tells me that even the filmmakers got caught up in their own racial stereotypes!
These films are remarkable. Thank you for sharing...you've got a new subscriber :)
This was pretty good movie. With this offensive language used in the video, this couldn't be made today. That's the problem with the PC culture. Ignoring the problem doesn't fix it, it just makes it larger. Our generation will never learn. Removing All in the Family and the Jeffersons will not fix racism without getting to the core of the problem.
Sadly, this documentary is not irrelevant to today.
preach it.
Told to call themselves black when they are brown.
So who are the people that are called brown and as you go along with being told to call yourself black?
LMAO

Bizarre and yet it kept me engaged. I have not studied much about the 60's but I always perceive it to be heavily artificial. knowing what I know today of Abraham Lincoln messed the ending up for me.
wait didn't michael richards end his career in a shameful racist flameout???
Yep! He showed his true self during a stand up comedy show.
Born in 1999 and i can relate to sooo much of the content in this video im from the middle of canada too. Everyone needs to see this
Yall will be sorry when KARMA HITS
I'm not sure why Reelblack described this documentary as "bizarre." The title of the video doesn't match the content wlell. I've heard and or been exposed to pretty much (through personal experience or society) every bit of information/situations depicted in this video. I was two when it was released. Although some progress, in awareness has been made, the video is still applicable today. Society needs to keep moving forward on any progress it's currently made.
