#BrucesBeach #LosAngeles #BruceFamily
It’s insane to me that people can understand generational wealth but not generational poverty and how the effects of an incident like this and impact families for over 100 years.
So true....
Tell me then. How can an "incident like this" have an "impact [on] families for over a 100 years"? It's a beach. You can't monetise a beach.
@@thomasdequincey5811 it’s beach front property do u know how valuable that is they even built resorts and country clubs , do u know how much lost revenue that is
YUP!!!
So true
Eminent domain was used in several majority Black areas throughout History. I’m happy for the family and many more to come hopefully.
Indeed. Central Park is a prime example of such agregeous act.
@@one4truth236 facts
Facts! Once black people flourish they use “imminent domain” or they run freeways through our towns aka Overtown (Miami Florid)
I hope to hear from this family and see advertisements to come to their property
Right and I hope there is more to come 💯 Congratulations to the Bruce Family and bless them all 🙏🏽⚖️💯💜
This is just the beginning of restoration of what evil was done to Everyone that was taken advantage of because of any reason. Congratulations to the Bruce Family !!!!
@philo betto All of the descendants reap the benefits of that evil so......you shut up.
And now that this black family is recovering the seized land, it is now time that they do the right thing and return it to its rightful owners, the Native Americans who had it stolen by the Mexicans before selling it to the United States government.
@@dahoss5405 ???? Please don't go there! Cause There were also Indigenous Black People who lived here. So you are speaking with a forked tongue, serpent!
@@dahoss5405 it wasn't SOLD to the United States it was stolen by Manafest Destiny and denied PROPERTY titile because they were BLACK.
@LAST WILL BE THE FIRST ??? Speak English and not nonsense! Black wall street was destroyed because of greed and jealousy like every other prosperous black town before and after it. Not because of some darn "secret society"!! Some of y'all are mentally inept to think logically and just say anything!!
My family has been fighting to get all of our land back here in southern Virginia. It’s disgusting how many of us have stories similar to this.
Same for my family. Land in TX. Most are corrupt and those snakes work together from the clerks to the judges.
Same for my family in Oklahoma if I'm not mistaken it was hundreds of acres stolen.
@@shavonnebell I agree me n family lost 160 acers of restricted Indian land... took from us.. we live in Oklahoma
Well ,as long as you do not go out to vote and maybe keep voting republicans, say ----rest in peace to your property.
@@Kiki-en9vm your foolish if you think voting is relevant to this situation. I have friends in democratic states/ counties as well as republican states/counties in similar situations as this one. Neither side has our best intent at heart, no matter how much one sides panders to black voters.
Now Louisiana needs to return my family's land. Crescent "Plantation" (The Ellis Place) and all the land attached in Madison, Franklin, and Tensas parishes. #ABOLISHTHEPARISH
Chase them man don't let it go!!!
What about Africa all those diamond mines and land all our ancestors lost
Get it brother get it
I hope n pray they give us back America our land. They took so many ppl land that’s why my fam left the south.
@@stoptheviolence3358 .. Half of us were already here in America🗣💯 Africa sold the rest.
Sad how the Bruce's generation had to go from wealth to poverty.
The American dream
@@blackpalacemusic institutionalized racism.
@Made from the dust of the ground the city, state, and federal government should not charge this family ANY taxes on this property and anything that is developed on it. It should remain tax free FOREVER. Anything less may result in this family loosing their property again, this time due to the taxes. Now THAT’s more sincere and righteous than a simple apology.
@@locojazz5770 cnn bot download your next narrative
At the hands of state and local govt
I know the story. This is a righteous thing. A good thing.
How about ya return all the land ya stole from my people to.
@@RochelleJB21 Damm it will get there the Bruce family didn't give up so don't give up if you ancestor are owed something but don't act like we didn't go thru the struggle with y'all and still are today
Yes 👏🏽
Graeme, you're very brave to have come out to say it's a good thing. As your profile indicates, you're one of the 99.999999% of the Pink people to admit the wrong of the past that creates racism that's still ongoing. Imagine what the Bruce family would've achieved if they hadn't been oppressed? Probably give jobs to people like you.
This is the best news I've heard all week! A huge congratulations to the Bruce family on FINALLY getting back what was rightfully theirs all along ❤
Amen I really want to go visit this beautiful beaches.
@@shiwan45 Mi too
@Anthony Ruiz that's because no one G.A.S. about American indians, and that's wrong.
Well if the city is refusing to apologize it’s because they hate that this deserving family got their property back. Greed often hides it’s face like a coward ❗️
The land was vacant, so greed isn’t a factor. It’s spite. Good for the state doing what was right.
The city officials are not the ones who took the land so no apology should be given. An apology means nothing when not given by the offenders.
@Charles Phang stop black hate!
Dear Governor Newsom you did the right thing. Something rare for any elected official. Thank You sir for your courage. God Bless you...
He should look into compensating all of the blk folks that got pushed out of SF next.
This is nothing rare for any elected official. Newsom has been Lt. Governor from 2011-2019 and Governor since 2019, and during that period appears to have done NOTHING to fix this injustice. Only when his job is threatened, does he seek to do the right thing to save his job. Make no mistake, this was purely a PR stunt to look good and save face. Let's see if Newsom does the family a solid and places the property price to be taxed on at $14,500 (the amount given to the Bruce's back in 1924). Of course, taxes will be an ongoing issue. Let's see how that plays out.
Identity politics pandering is what it is; Newsom had PLENTY of other times this could have been done while holding office. The timing is everything for this clown......
@@FeralPlumber Do you believe the Bruce family deserved to have their property returned?? Yes or no??
I pray for the best outcome for everyone involved. People have to be given a chance to do the right thing…and when the do it, people have to be given a chance to accept… no matter how it looks, we have to try to do better and be better…imagine if this were your family or administration…surely you would want to be treated rightly. I’m just saying…whoever this has an impact on, I hope for the best for them.
You cant get back the loss of wealth the family could have built over generations
This happened in Nyc where black homes were taken to build central park under imminent domain
This aint new… this is America
You really think there would be generational wealth read about it it doesn't last more than 1 or 2 generations I look at what people are saying here and they have no idea what they're talking about it's all about victimhood these people aren't responsible enough to make their car payments on their 10 year old Cadillac
Factz
@@bertram46 Do you personally know any of "these" people? Why are you here to shame the documented victims with the bs you're talking?
@@rgw1380rw because it's true. And look how many there are in a relatively short period of time. I was raised to be responsible. No children out of wedlock, and if you can't afford to raise them the right way. You don't have them. There are probably 5 or 6 generations there. Stop making excuses for them. People are victims of themselves and choices they make.
@@bertram46 HATER LOL..what wealth do you have? Zero you mayo militia
Its many situations like this across the country.
Thank you!
Around the world.
Yes for real
Many many many. Unfortunately many Black family elders hid these painful and traumatic experiences from the younger generations and just moved forward.
Amen sis, We the real Native Indians of this land, that was stolen from us! Time for our people to get back what is ours!
Congratulations!! I’m happy they’ve fought for what was rightfully theirs 🙏🏾🎉
Same thing happened to my family's friend Mrs Hawk in Dothan Alabama. She owned over 800 acres and the city and county illegally stole her land as she became elderly.
An apology would be an admission of guilt-which could very well lead to a lawsuit. This is why the California government doesn't want to do that.
This is a great thing for this family. So many have had land unjustly taken from them..leaving their family without the generational wealth that other groups have been afforded on a mass scale.
@@woodynorris8224 Um no it Belong to the Bruce family!
I wonder if Santa Monica is gonna return "Black's Beach" to it's rightful (Black) Owners?
@@twoperrin your wrong my g
Imagine the impact if these kinds of actions were taken across the nation...
Boy the playing field would be a lot closer to level
Texas says "hold my 🍺.
You all know it's coming..... and then they'll claim something like how we want to take everything from all white people and make them all slaves and what not so they need laws to prevent this from happening..... Like how they've been saying about the election. They pass these so called voter reform laws and pretend like it's not meant to target black people, and poor people. It's to "secure" the election 🙄😒
california was very kind to return that land. but likely wont happen anywhere else. im sure LA is having a fit right now.
🙏🏽
@@anony1984 Well they have enjoyed More than enough their TIME WAS UP💪🏽🙏🏼
Just imagine. Imagine if ALL of the land, cities, possessions, lives stolen, burned, lynched, massacred from black people were returned.
Yes, but that is all I can do is to imagine. We still haven't seen what this decision will do for all of the Bruce family if any. I have yet to hear how or if this land will be returned and they are compensated in some way.
All we can do is imagine that we get it returned for working for master
@R Do we are the Native Americans that they wrote about smh archeology and dna evidence already proved this. The depiction of the so called Indians can be found in the journals and ship logs. When the Spanish brought slaves from America to Spain , what do you think those people looked like? It’s In their art and history books
Give back all Aborigines Land. This is so epic, congratulations to them. May they have 100 years ten fold, and have ALL of our land returned. #Cherokee
If and shall be returned whites would have nothing!There actually due for eviction.Every white person need a contract to be on this land.This is a true statement
Now give Henrietta Lack’s family ownership of her DNA!!!
Not DNA, it was tumor cells that they took from the cervical cancer in her body.
Yes!
They should receive restitution for all the INCOME they would have received. With so many family members living in poverty they’ll have a hard time finding money to redevelop the property as it should be. Such a sad state of affairs, but I’m glad they at least have it back.
That property is worth 75 million.
So true
Reclaiming what the devil has stolen. Thanks Lester Holt ☺️🌹
This just in, glass bottles of OE and Hennesy are now legal to drink on the beach
@@ShawnErroneous You big mad😝
@@liveyourlife1777 I see the irony in it all. And people praising this like it's a decision made to right a wrong instead for what it is. Mad? Hardly. I'm amused by the reactions and even more when people realize they're fools.
@@ShawnErroneous so quick question. I really always wanted to ask a negative troll. Do you actually think it’s right what they did by stealing their property?
@@taragggg8225 absolutely not. Theft of anything by anyone is wrong
Beautiful couple🙏 thankful to witness this. Took it and left it vacant for 30 years. This is a blessing.
am so proud for the family,,,,congragulations to all!
Maybe get a web site set up to donate $ for their property taxes? Unless the taxes are grandfathered in to what they originally paid, maybe what it was worth when it was taken? Curious
I’m crying . This is amazing 🤩. I’m so happy for the BRUCE FAMILY
I’m gonna cry. I’m so happy with the honesty and accountability and justice was finally carried out. I’m so sorry it took this long for it to happen but I’m so happy LA County did the right thing
Congradulations Bruce Family!!!
CONGRATULATIONS to the Bruce Family.
Amen, Amen, Amen
Wow! Glory to God. I pray that entire family is restored 100x fold. All of the money that have lost needs to be restored.
Good! The wheels of justice turn slowly but I’m so happy that the land was returned to the descendants !
I remember reading an article on this story months ago, Good luck to the family and hopefully they have a good legal team and business mindset to keep the land in good standing.
Oh yes. They need a land use attorney who knows his or her stuff!
I'm happy for this family. May they keep it in the family always!
Dear Governor Newson, thank you for helping this family. As a Real Estate, I'm happy for this family.
May they be smiling in their graves that justice has rivaled
Same as in Texas. My ancestors owned property in parts in Tyler Texas area. These are true stories of decades of overt racism taken place that families from generations have had to face and some have just literally taken their fights to their graves and / or left for their descendants to deal with- many of their descendants, not knowing the truth.
If you think this story is interesting, I would suggest you stop by and read the plaque the city or county put up. I felt insulted after reading it. It suggests the actions of the White people back then was a time long past. After reading that plaque for yourself, I would also suggest looking up Allensworth, California State Park. There are stories like this all over the country that went down the same way Manhatten Beach ran these people out. Some were burnt out, others were run out and some had their water poisoned. In South Florida, the Navy "borrowed" Delray, Floriday from a Black family during the war. After the war, the government refused to return the land. That family has also continued to sue. How many of you believe the US Government will give back an entire city to anyone, let alone a Black family?
Wow I totally believe it . So disgusting . I know they don't teach this in History classes😢 The Truth
Remember, a few towns were flooded out & are still underwater to this day. Amber Ruffin speaks on it.
They will never admit that they were wrong because they still don't believe what they did was right. And if any houses now sit on the Bruce's lands, well....... you just got new landlords. You can't own anything that doesn't belong to you. But the Bruce family is not in the clear yet because there will be a lot of people who will feel that since they are the master race, they will also feel that the land is theirs by a decree from God. Oh, there's a lot of stuff coming down the pike, trust me. Always has, always will be. You know it and I know it. I'm just keeping it real !!!!
This gives me so much hope man. We have a similar history in our family in Kentucky 😢. My great grandparents had land that was stolen. They’re gone but my grandfather is still alive to remember. But he’s getting older and older
They need a plan if they do not already have one. It could be as simple as using the value of the land as a seed for several businesses.
LOVE this story! It’s about time and needs to be practiced across our country!!
And when you’re done, LEAVE! #witchobitchass
This is what Black's who are in politics should be doing!!They should be righting the wrongs done to their people!!
It's sad, but I really don't have a a lot of respect for Obama! We should have more of these stories!!
Incorrect. Anyone, regardless of color, that takes on a powerful position to represent a group of people needs to make decisions for that group's best interest. I don't like Obama, but as president he needs to consider all Americans. Not just the black ones.
The family should sue for money loss over the hundred years from the city.
This needs to happen all across the nation
Congratulations on getting it back. I love that beach so beautiful. Good job California for doing the right thing.
This is great that the family finally has the beach property back!!
Im so proud of them.
Never Forget the Tongva Tribe who were driven off present day LA area.
Wow I'm so pleased that this was finally corrected.
Do other people of same time period also get land back confiscated using eminent domain?
Hey...pursue your case. It's on YOU to find out. Good Luck.
@@tigerlilly9038 it was a rhetorical question
@@xephael3485 How do you know it wasn't a Rhetorical Reply???
I’m not thanking a politician that did what was Unrightfully done. They’re getting pennies compared to what the property is worth and the back pay of generations of poverty. This have happened to so many of us in the USA. I guess it’s an in the right direction. 😒
It is good that this justice has been done. I hope the family can hold onto it and make something out of it.
I'm so happy for this family. Thanks to Gov. Newsome for making this happen.
On the other hand, what happened to the $14,500 that they were paid for their beach? 60 years ago that was a small fortune. I guess we need to give Manhattan Island back to the Indians because they sold it for beads and blankets?
75 million dollars is concerning to me, bc they have to pay taxes on that land. How is a group of people supposed to come up with that? Is that an issue? Will it become an issue? Did the city just want to collect tax monies?
I inspect multi-million dollar beach houses in NC. I am a housekeeping supervisor, I train all of my employees to clean wealthy owners/guests of these houses. I could not imagine being in that situation, I’m glad the family was able to recover rightfully what was theirs. I’m glad that one of my girls I’m training showed me this video. It’s a pretty extraordinary story. I wish this family nothing but the best. Maybe one day I’ll win the lottery so I can buy a multi million dollar beach house. Lol I’m happy for this family..
*Justice*
They need to sue the city for lost wealth.
They are the Indians
This is just the beginning 💕💕🙏🏾
It's about time!
My family is going through the same thing in Texas. Please help
That family just got 3.5 BILLION Dollars back that was owed to them
Anyone who want to go to the beach, I would charge them. They can have the view but not set foot on it, especially the houses near it
That is illegal in California- beaches are public.
This is so beautiful.
A big big shout out & immense respect to all the Native Americans & black Americans that are buying back their lands that was taken/scammed from them.
They owe them billions years of lost income…think of the inflation.
This brings hope to all. There is someone looking out for us. I'm so happy they finally got what they lost. Every good person deserves a good life. In this case this family more than deserved to get their land back. Pathetic that america was built this way. I hope they have an amazing life. They deserve it. Congrats
My great grandfather from Germany lost property in NYC to the government during the great depression. Can I get the property back?
Thank God!
I’m here for the comments
God bless you all. Making the REAL American dream GREAT again, keep going!! Love and support from Aotearoa, New Zealand🥰😀 #Justice4Bruces #familyWealth #Community #Truth xx
Justice served 100yrs later! Mr. & Mrs. Bruce are rejoicing in the spirit world!!!! Amen!!!!
I’m glad to see this happening. The family is blessed. They can move forward with this now.
This is beautiful
Yes Lord! It's about time! A long time coming A change gone come!
You right destruction of America
That's only one family, can you imagine how many black families they did that to across the country. 🙄
The right call was made here. Good job!
Right is right
Yes!!!
Thanks to God for property return to the family
So the City still doesn't want to apologize..wow
My kids and I love that park. We walk there all the time. We're happy for the Bruce family. But, we hope we are still allowed to enjoy the park.
The hotel and facilities were open to all in spite of the way the owners were being treated elsewhere. Most Black people are not about revenge they just to be treated fairly and respected and be able to live their lives in peace. If you act accordingly I am sure you will be able to continue enjoying the park. Just my opinion. Don't take it as gospel.
@@Darknamja don’t say most Black people say SOME. Speaking for myself & others who wouldn’t mind revenge & reparations
Yesssss!!!!
Now that's beautiful to see right on✊
Good for them what is this really on top of the list of what's going on the world today. Nothing but happiness be at peace and be safe everybody
Rightfully so...wrong from the beginning and long overdue!!!
Congratulations to the family hopefully they all benefit without having to sell it off.
they need to be compensated as well!!!
Appreciate the update to this story
Now The United States just needs to return the Black Hills to the Sovereign Lakota Nation!!
Wow that's amazing I'm so happy for this family
So happy justice has been served, I can't imagine how much they have lost over the years, millions for sure.
How many more people have lost their land to something like this.
Open to all! Awesome!!!
Need to return a whole lot more stuff too that y'all "discovered"
Just wonderful! Now Tulsa and other cities throughout America. California did the right thing!
Now Kentucky needs to return my family’s land. Part of the main entrance on mammoth cave. The “Pages” .
What about all the property that was stolen all over this nation. While I am happy that this is a start, we must do more to settle with all these families that has stolen land taken away from them by the hands of racist thieves.
Uuuuh, Can my Family get thier Indigenous Land back? This was OUR LAND. What they did to this Family was wrong, but where is the Natives Reckoning?
At the end of times you want land and still have to live amongst the thieves?
So true. I pray for you and your native people to get justice. I feel my ancestors are in the middle, because my African ancestors were forced to be here on your land.
Go for it, quite a few of ADOS is going to have a reckoning with natives too.
Yes right Now we know why they own so much land in America .They sold it all from Natives, Blacks anyone that's not their color.They really think their the choose ones .😂😂😂😂 That's a lie
An ancestral DNA test will determine, that is a lie.
FINALLY……..Justice.
Praise Jesus that is wonderful a black family getting justice so long after the fact a miracle!
When Native Americans getting stolen land back .... when ?
@F Your feelings You pale beast what you won was temporary you still have to face God Isaiah 14:21. ......
