ThePhantomGamer That's true. Even tho there are some factors, like minorities mostly living in less wealthy area's so crime is sometimes the only option for money, you can't deny the fact they commit alot more crimes.
William J Plaud kek maybe because black history is literaly nothing and wachmojo was happy that they could've squeze 5 fact out of nothing. be happy you even got a video
When I born, I Black, When I grow up, I Black, When I go in Sun, I Black, When I scared, I Black, When I sick, I Black, And when I die, I still black, And you White fella, When you born, you Pink, When you grow up, you White, When you go in Sun, you Red, When you cold, you Blue, When you scared, you Yellow, When you sick, you Green, And when you die, you Gray, And you calling me Colored ?
Every month of the year is white history month. All you learn in primary and secondary school is European origin, settlement and their milestones. Let people enjoy something, it doesn't effect you.
YT_Bro's bro just stop get a hobby fr nobody cares if your a racist we learn about yall everyday a school and yet y’all say y’all have no month more like every one
I've learned that so may people all around the world appreciate our culture and history. I'm thankful for the video period. Truthfully I have learned so much from people of other races. Some have acknowledged that our history has been hidden from us and there is so much that we are never taught. Those people directed me to books full of information written by Blacks that enlightened me on so many events, people, movements, etc. that I was never taught about. My point is that it doesn't matter about the person talking over the video, it matters most about the accuracy and information in the video and for that they receive the highest mark. We have to expand our minds and views...we are everywhere and in every culture and there are so many people who recognize and respect that...when the reality of that sinks in its humbling. God bless.
I like how other white people are saying "nobody cares" about black history month while whining that whites don't have one Its like when straight people ask white we don't have a straight pride parade Its like the same reason
Showing pride in your race is never right remember that. No matter which race you come from. Because it means you're promoting division between people. There are more deaths in America caused by Americans themselves than by radical Islamic terrorists yet people still support Trump's decision to ban people from so many nations. It doesn't make logical sense at all. A lot of families have been badly effected by this. The one where a small boy waiting at the airport for hours is absolutely heartbreaking. What are you thinking Americans? This stuff is inhuman. I never judged Trump by his words but I definitely have the right to judge him by his actions and this is absolutely ridiculous.
LN2233 Yes exactly. That's my point. There are more deaths caused by shootings in America(done by Americans) than by radical Islamic terrorists but that doesn't mean you can ban them now can you.
Because its a video that shows how African American history have impacted people's lives and the African Americans that took a stand against oppression
actually. i think it's mostly from trolls who want lolz, they do that on almost every video. except for the philosophical, deep ones they can't get their meaty paws on........... yet.
All the people saying "there's no white history month!" Do you really fucking care? Or are you just trying to start some shit? There's a lot to cover when it comes to slavery and the civil rights movement, which is history about BLACK people. I think it's very significant history and deserves a month to be focused on. I don't feel left out or intimidated by it. Nearly everything else taught in American history is white people history. Let's learn a lesson from the ignorance of people in the past and move forward from that backwards way of thinking.
Ozzie Edwards Because every major event happened in europe and they actually knew how to write in a language we understand. They overall had a richer history with the formation of many countries including the place where I live, the U.S. while in africa It's just like america at the moment. Africa's history just isn't as important as europes to be completely honest just like early America before the europeans arrived. Why do you think we only talk about the only black people in the recent years we talk about are from the late 1800s to 1900s?
You want a white history month or an Asian one, DO IT. No one can stop you. Find what make you proud of being white and make your month, but can you leave us celebrate, this hurt nobody so relax. We are not saying we are better just that our history has been difficult and should not be forget. But not forget that being proud and thinking you are better is different.
They can't do it because their ancestors wasn't nothing and they ain't nothing,they been using and enslaving our people,stealing our inventions down through the years.As they love to say,I didn't own slaves,Black's sold their own,if they did they was forced to,they can't keep their nasty behinds out of Africa, do what that tell u?
3:39 --- Much respect to Claudette Colvin, but she was not the first to refuse to give up her seat to white people on public transportation. Ida B. Wells is the first - On May 4, 1884, a train conductor on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad ordered Wells to give up her seat in the first-class ladies car and move to the smoking car, which was already crowded with other passengers. ---Source Wikipedia

That's real simple. What I got about Colvin & Wells is just a small nugget about their lives. When people WANT extensive knowledge they WILL go further than what is provided, instead of looking stupid asking whats the source of information posted on Wikipedia. You're just one of those doubters of any great progress by Black People. You got a fucking PC/tablet/smartphone in your hands with cyberspace service, make use of it.
I clicked on this because of Claudette Colvin. I'd never heard of her until I was looking into people I share my birthday, September 5, with and discovered her independently.
I'm black and I didn't like this video. like WM trying to get props for diversity while making a shorter than usual video by their standards. And only thing these types of video gets are hate and more racism. WM plz just leave us alone
Candez Simmons true, its important for some of us but sometimes u just gotta swallow ur pride, because this is how racism begins, i am black and i am proud but like, I just dont go out there because I dont need to say it, it's noticeable
Or in future please get a black watch mojo worker to do the voice over, this white man felt like he was playing Brad Pitts character from 12 years a slave Also when he said blerds I was taken aback Sounds offensive as fuck
You say skin doesn't matter but you are mad that it's a white male talking and you are making a big deal that he made s video shorter than usual like a spoiled brat. It would be longer if black had more history but now people are just calling blacks victims for no reason. You want equality yet you dont treat whites equally.
As a black person, I hate that schools only talk about the same damn people( Rosa Parks, MLK, Malcolm X, Fredrick Douglas, etc) and no one else. Its said a story like Hidden Figures( which I haven't seen yet) has never been told.

About Black History Month.
We are people. Period. "Black people" don’t need a special month or special channel. What’s sad is that these insidious things only keep us segregated and invoke false narratives.
yaner Not genetics, I would say history. Africans were brought over here, enslaved, and discriminated against. Because of this now a majority of us live in poor communities and often look to crime. We are not inherently violent.
Black people created B.E.T. because no one else (white people) wasn't playing their music, so they had to create their own shit. Understand now jackass?

i dont eat dogs.. its illegal to sell it in the capital regions... but they do eat it in provinces as tradition... dog meat is not commonly sold here unlike in china and other asian countries where its sold commonly in markets and also has a festival for dog meat.
Ok , so am I the only one that is wondering why for everyone who's not white is ok to cosplay white characters but if a white person cosplays a non-white it's racist?
no uninformed and misguided. this is the time that you have an opportunity to choose sides over smart and over dumb. racism is the absolutely dumbest thing on the planet. it is time to come alive shake off any racist dirt that is dead. not thriving. unprofitable. ludicrous. insane.. it's up to you just leave any negative dead comments buried with you
It's a shame you didnt say anything about WHY Claudette Colvin was recognized. She was a 15 year old pregnant woman. The NAACP didnt want to use her because of that . Rosa Parks actually worked for the NAACP and that is how she was chosen.
Thanks for this amazing video! Despite all of the hateful comments, it would be nice for people to actually research how and why it started. For instance, did you know that Black History Month started as a week? Better yet, pick up a high school history book and count how many black people other than Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks, I'll wait.
Black Kingdoms? Black inventions? Black Philosophers? Black influence on other cultures? I don't see that much history...
Před 7 lety+3
+Thomas The Spank Engine Then you don't know how to google. african-american culture has dominated music since the 50's. You can google black inventors and philosophers and the same for kingdoms. Please stop being retarded
Since the 50s wow. This is absolutely nothing compared to over 200 years of American history. Or 1200 years of European history. Or 1500 years of roman History. Or 2000 years of greek history. Or 4000 years of Egyptian history. When the Europeans colonized Africa, black people hadn't even invented the wheel. Black people don't have history. Accept it! :D
By the way: I googled "Black Philosophers", and this came up: There are only 10 black philosophers ever in America. 8 out of 10 are still alive. 8 out of 10 are all about civil rights and Afro-American studies. 2 of them aren't even black I assume, because one is more Native American an one is more white than black. Many of them are profs at universities. F******* Congrats, I was wrong, there are actually a couple of black philosophers, but none of them is very important. This is still nothing compared to white philosophers, but you can thank them that you can write such nonsense because of their society theories....
thank you. very informative and enlightening. it's always interesting in studying black history that I find something new that I didn't know before. it seems that studying black history helps me to be a better person. learning more of my roots. the slavery and civil rights era are always the saddest to watch but I don't dwell on it. what I find so fascinating is the many many black inventors. writers. doctors. lawyers.an the list goes on and on. just seeing the brilliance of their minds uplifts me. but most of all are the great leaders we've had. Martin Luther King. Benjamin Hooks. and many others in the Civil Rights era. and there are many many others. I can't list them all. and all the way back to the slavery era. Harriet Tubman. and many more I can't list. but all of these people who I am very thankful an grateful for what they did for us. their name. face. an memory will be forever etched in my mind. YES they need not just a course in black history BUT BLENDED in with American history. after all America was mostly built from the sweat an labor of slaves. just as Egypt's pyramid built by slaves. there also should be a better history on Indians in schools. another incredible beautiful race of people. I'm learning more about Indian tribal history from cowboy movies and from CZcams. than I find in history books. lest we forget they were here first.
MoMo Do you have to fucking put her race there? Only complaining about racism but still keeping the community devided by reffering to someone's race smh.
i didn't know about the last one, i knew there were black geeks around the world but i didn't know about the man who created the super soaker and the home pinball machines... Cool i find that to be really awesome honestly. Great job in helping create a part in my childhood.
When European explorers first saw African people they did not see books or any form of literature and went on to assume Africans were inferior. The fact is all knowledge in Africa was passed by word of mouth and retained in everyone's memory. They didn't need books.
Why are you proud of something that you had no part in deciding or creating that does not denote any effort or achievement on your part? That's like me saying "I'm proud to be 5' 5" and wear a size 8 shoe." Fucking ridiculous. Not to mention dangerously arrogant.
I love Black History Month so much. I love learning about history, especially when its the history of people other than white people. I'm white, but why so much discrimination about learning other people's history? We're all human and, white people already have most everything. This shouldn't just be a one month thing, it should be a whenever the hell thing
Black Business Book has over 200 facts many most people don't know. It how slaves learned to read and write, how slaves could own a business and use profits to buy their freedom and so much more. The book is available on amazon
As someone from foreign country, I would like to ask you this - wouldn't it be better to just teach... History? People of all races contributed to it, most of them didn't think about what colour they are, but considered themselves as individuals.
Here some other facts: A few towsand black men, free and along side their masters, volunteered to fight in the conferate army and they had their guns and promoted their own officials. American free black men did own slaves, as early as 1654 and through the civil war The first black men to become officers in the military for the first time ever in America was while fighting for the confederate states (unlike the Union, where blacks served as cookers and other non combatent positions, as we have seen in movies) Whites (English and Portuguese as far as I know) bought black slaves from Black slavers. Because an European person would die of diseace shortly after setting foot in African ground, so Africans were the middle men in the slave trade. (They would buy slaves with gold or if there was inside conflicts, black slavers would rather have European guns) Sunday churches in black communities are much less boring than Sunday church in white communities. Love them singing, I feel happiness when I hear "Oh happy day!" in movies.
Crispus Attucks (a black freeman) was the first person killed in the Boston massacre, and is widely considered to be the first American casualty in the American Revolutionary War. Why is this historic fact among the top 5, 10, 20?
Black people did so much for America but it doesn't get talked much about in history ... So many inventors that they will never mention ...
TheNewLegendOfShaolin 3 I laugh at your comment as schools do teach about that period in history

When people WANT extensive knowledge they WILL go further than what is provided, instead of looking stupid asking whats the source of information posted on Wikipedia. You're just one of those doubters of any great progress by Black People.
You got a fucking PC/tablet/smartphone in your hands with cyberspace service, make use of it.
Thanks for informing and reminding us that we must Always have our Facts and not just repeat what others are saying. Knowledge is Power👄💪🐯
Black history just isn't a month it's everyday 😘
Yeah so I dont see why people still have to care about it. It's so one sided and stuck from the past
YT_Bro's Lol your everywhere
I respect you guys for touching this subject! Thank you Watch Mojo.
I clicked on this because of Claudette Colvin. I'd never heard of her until I was looking into people I share my birthday, September 5, with and discovered her independently.
I'm black and I didn't like this video. like WM trying to get props for diversity while making a shorter than usual video by their standards. And only thing these types of video gets are hate and more racism.
WM plz just leave us alone
Candez Simmons true, its important for some of us but sometimes u just gotta swallow ur pride, because this is how racism begins, i am black and i am proud but like, I just dont go out there because I dont need to say it, it's noticeable
Or in future please get a black watch mojo worker to do the voice over, this white man felt like he was playing Brad Pitts character from 12 years a slave
Also when he said blerds I was taken aback
Sounds offensive as fuck
What's it matter what color you are
You say skin doesn't matter but you are mad that it's a white male talking and you are making a big deal that he made s video shorter than usual like a spoiled brat. It would be longer if black had more history but now people are just calling blacks victims for no reason. You want equality yet you dont treat whites equally.
@@huey6248 wow you say skin doesn't matter yet you are making a big deal that it's a white man standing up for you black people
Morgan Freeman once said there should not be a black history month
@3:43 that's my boyfriends grandmother
Damn girl ok we saw it the first time ,what you want a Grammy?
Bfd
As a black person, I hate that schools only talk about the same damn people( Rosa Parks, MLK, Malcolm X, Fredrick Douglas, etc) and no one else. Its said a story like Hidden Figures( which I haven't seen yet) has never been told.
Right! This is why I did my own research on Black History.
I thought these were overlooked facts I already knew these facts already ... Mojo you said nothing New
yaner You have at least 100 comments under this video. How much are you being paid to troll? Just curious.
Exactly we have learned for so many years without a choice and people say blacks dont get anything
YT_Bro's omg
#5 Anyone who watched the first season of Good Times would know that Black History month used to be only 1 week!
black history is everyones history
Mathieu Leader no it's not white people were not slaves
guy oso
people regardless of colour can read history to stop repeating history
Not overlooked facts. 1. Lazy 2. Ignorant 3.Uneducated 4. Smell 5. Thinks everyone owes them a living. So much more but these are pretty good for top 5

Blacks have made a lot of contributions to our great country. But we still thrive on both sides to be racist towards each other. Until the rich white man and rich black man stops feeding the hate relationships between us this will never end. Peace Every one.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT YOU DIDN'T LEARN SOMETHING TODAY.. About Black History Month.
Why dont we celebrate what white people did they created way more than black
YT_Bro's ????
Latina history month 😍🔥🔥
Ayanna English Hispanic heritage month is between September and October
Yeah what about these months or white months or no months because let's be honest it does nothing but cause a political issue
I am glad you brought up the super soaker and didn't know about the game console, but knew about the lady before Rosa Parks
My opinion: Black people make the best music.
You can find elements of RnB, Soul, Hip-Hop, Rap, and Blues in almost every genre.
What you thought blacks were the first to make words rhyme.
Thank You Watchmojo !😀
We are people. Period.
"Black people" don’t need a special month or special channel. What’s sad is that these insidious things only keep us segregated and invoke false narratives.
yaner Not genetics, I would say history. Africans were brought over here, enslaved, and discriminated against. Because of this now a majority of us live in poor communities and often look to crime. We are not inherently violent.
Black people created B.E.T. because no one else (white people) wasn't playing their music, so they had to create their own shit. Understand now jackass?
Ex Lover ahahahahahahahahaha
Ex Lover k fam 👌😂🔫
only someone who doesnt know shit about race relations would say something so stupid like that...
I’m East African 🇪🇷😃 mush love to our African-american family
fact 6 we wuz kings
you damn right we were
I hate when people say this, you know damn well you would most likely not be a king. You wouldn’t even be alive shut yo dumb ass up
Jed Lawson You are but a shell of the original man.. which is why you grow tails and are allergic to natural life building blocks such as the sun and water, in which every other living organism thrives... beetle juice
Do you know what's better than black history month? American history month, and european history month.
can we at least all agree that we are all Earthlings living under one Sky?!
That’s not how my people were treated
Yesssss
Young Misfit true
This is much appreciated.
Here I am thinking this would be some good historical facts about Africans and was I disappointed 🙃
When we in Croatia have something like this it is about all races and nationalities that live here. Niger, Nigeria, Central African Republic, Somalia, Syria, Maroco, Brasil, Argentina , India all in one place. Food, religion, instruments and music, folk costumes.
Shameon Onyou Do you know what communist even means?
Shameon Onyou I am Anti fa!
Shameon Onyou So Oi sign and JNA (yugoslav national army are nazi?
Yeah true this video is very one sided
Here is a fact that you might not know... I used to be a door to door salesman in Montgomery Al. and I heard from residents that back before she moved out of town, Rosa Parks' house got broken into. Who the fuck would burglarize Rosa Parks?!?!
i get star strucked when i see black people here.. because they rare.... your always welcome in asia black people.. come visit the philippine islands...
i dont eat dogs.. its illegal to sell it in the capital regions... but they do eat it in provinces as tradition... dog meat is not commonly sold here unlike in china and other asian countries where its sold commonly in markets and also has a festival for dog meat.
Ok , so am I the only one that is wondering why for everyone who's not white is ok to cosplay white characters but if a white person cosplays a non-white it's racist?
Where's the racists jokes at?
Screwhead281 why are black people afraid if chainsaws?
Screwhead281 look at my comment its kinda racist
How do you know a black girl is pregnant?
When she takes out the tampon the cotton is missing (jk)
Um, Comedy Night at the Apollo?
There's a time for everything but this was not one of them. Good joke though, it was fucked! But good.
Happy Black History Month To All The Blacks Around The World...
Got a KFC as before the video started.
DarkshadowXD63 u made me spill my water tho 😂😂
DarkshadowXD63 lmao
DarkshadowXD63 I got me some custard!
I hate coming to the comments section everytime they try to uplift black people, negativtiy follows? Why can't any of you be proud of this?
This comment section has so much cancer.
I didn't expect WatchMojo to acknowledge Black nerds, and I love it.
WatchMojo.com, why do you do this to yourself, are you masochist or something?
Thank you for this
White Guilt Month
Vinnie St Vincent well damn...
If you and your ancestor's didn't do anything wrong, then you have nothing to feel guilty about
Charles Baylor Correction: if you didn't do anything wrong. Why should I feel guilty about something I can't do anything about?
no uninformed and misguided. this is the time that you have an opportunity to choose sides over smart and over dumb. racism is the absolutely dumbest thing on the planet. it is time to come alive shake off any racist dirt that is dead. not thriving. unprofitable. ludicrous. insane.. it's up to you just leave any negative dead comments buried with you
So being proud of are history makes you fell guilty wow.
SHOUT OUT TO BLACK PEOPLE!
You know your life is sad when Black History Month offends you. I swear a right-wingers best friend is the youtube dislike button
It's a shame you didnt say anything about WHY Claudette Colvin was recognized. She was a 15 year old pregnant woman. The NAACP didnt want to use her because of that . Rosa Parks actually worked for the NAACP and that is how she was chosen.
*Looks at dislikes* Lots of KKK members
Racist much?
Thanks for this amazing video! Despite all of the hateful comments, it would be nice for people to actually research how and why it started. For instance, did you know that Black History Month started as a week? Better yet, pick up a high school history book and count how many black people other than Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks, I'll wait.
Oh do you know white history month started as a... OH RIGHT THEY DONT HAVE A MONTH YOUR EXCUSES ARE TERRIBLE
WE WUZ KANGZ N SHIEEET
Thomas The Spank Engine they surely were
Black Kingdoms? Black inventions? Black Philosophers? Black influence on other cultures? I don't see that much history...
+Thomas The Spank Engine
Then you don't know how to google. african-american culture has dominated music since the 50's. You can google black inventors and philosophers and the same for kingdoms. Please stop being retarded
Since the 50s wow. This is absolutely nothing compared to over 200 years of American history. Or 1200 years of European history. Or 1500 years of roman History. Or 2000 years of greek history. Or 4000 years of Egyptian history. When the Europeans colonized Africa, black people hadn't even invented the wheel. Black people don't have history. Accept it! :D
By the way: I googled "Black Philosophers", and this came up: There are only 10 black philosophers ever in America. 8 out of 10 are still alive. 8 out of 10 are all about civil rights and Afro-American studies. 2 of them aren't even black I assume, because one is more Native American an one is more white than black. Many of them are profs at universities.
F******* Congrats, I was wrong, there are actually a couple of black philosophers, but none of them is very important. This is still nothing compared to white philosophers, but you can thank them that you can write such nonsense because of their society theories....
thank you. very informative and enlightening. it's always interesting in studying black history that I find something new that I didn't know before. it seems that studying black history helps me to be a better person. learning more of my roots. the slavery and civil rights era are always the saddest to watch but I don't dwell on it. what I find so fascinating is the many many black inventors. writers. doctors. lawyers.an the list goes on and on. just seeing the brilliance of their minds uplifts me. but most of all are the great leaders we've had. Martin Luther King. Benjamin Hooks. and many others in the Civil Rights era. and there are many many others. I can't list them all. and all the way back to the slavery era. Harriet Tubman. and many more I can't list. but all of these people who I am very thankful an grateful for what they did for us. their name. face. an memory will be forever etched in my mind. YES they need not just a course in black history BUT BLENDED in with American history. after all America was mostly built from the sweat an labor of slaves. just as Egypt's pyramid built by slaves. there also should be a better history on Indians in schools. another incredible beautiful race of people. I'm learning more about Indian tribal history from cowboy movies and from CZcams. than I find in history books. lest we forget they were here first.
Cash me outside how bout dah ?
I'm not an ATM
Scumbag Joker why on this vid
Scumbag Joker ...said an ignorant white girl
MoMo the streets makes people ignorant just like how the streets said MLK fought for slavery 😴
MoMo Do you have to fucking put her race there? Only complaining about racism but still keeping the community devided by reffering to someone's race smh.
i didn't know about the last one, i knew there were black geeks around the world but i didn't know about the man who created the super soaker and the home pinball machines... Cool i find that to be really awesome honestly. Great job in helping create a part in my childhood.
No one here is unreasonably offended by this except a bunch of (not all) white people. LOL
The King of You Fools Are Amateurs They still click the video just shows the obsession they have with blacks
all races are important too I'm black and I'm proud
this video while informative sounded very white guiltish at the end and therefore ruining the rest of the video
Eric Hart can u explain the "white guilt" thing?
Rosa Parks?!?!?! GRANDAD DIDN'T GIVE UP HIS SEAT FIRST
Lmao white people get so offended. the comments are hilarious
When European explorers first saw African people they did not see books or any form of literature and went on to assume Africans were inferior. The fact is all knowledge in Africa was passed by word of mouth and retained in everyone's memory. They didn't need books.
No but growing crops like yams and rice is
im white and proud of it.
mrsaunalyhty lol so nobody cares
mrsaunalyhty good for you, I am black and I am proud of it too
Rui Diogo Martins Same
Good to be proud of your race :) I'm black and proud of it
Why are you proud of something that you had no part in deciding or creating that does not denote any effort or achievement on your part? That's like me saying "I'm proud to be 5' 5" and wear a size 8 shoe." Fucking ridiculous. Not to mention dangerously arrogant.
"If you're studying history and you are never ashamed, you're studying propaganda."
Where's white history month
Mack Garsey White history is all that's fucking taught, how y'all got 11 months out of the year and be mad when we get 1?
Gojaku we don't get 11 months, we get 0. that's plain old history not just white history
Mack Garsey it's just white history we just don't call it that
Mack Garsey the month of april
Nicholas Chancy why don't you you ever hear about it?
I love Black History Month so much. I love learning about history, especially when its the history of people other than white people. I'm white, but why so much discrimination about learning other people's history? We're all human and, white people already have most everything. This shouldn't just be a one month thing, it should be a whenever the hell thing
And, THIS is why I'm subscribed to Mojo. Even though it wasn't as extensive as it could have been, I understand and appreciate the effort.
this was a good video. im surprised.
Don't forget Jamaal.He worked at 7-11,went an entire two week work period without being late once.....was a record...
Your forgetting the Egyptians made the bible... Very Nerdy... Or Blerdy!
props WatchMojo, this is awesome.
I learned a lot more about black history month by watching this video I never knew about this.
Black Business Book has over 200 facts many most people don't know. It how slaves learned to read and write, how slaves could own a business and use profits to buy their freedom and so much more. The book is available on amazon
As someone from foreign country, I would like to ask you this - wouldn't it be better to just teach... History? People of all races contributed to it, most of them didn't think about what colour they are, but considered themselves as individuals.
You ever seen that documentary video of African men dancing around the fire naked and fn each other.
Thanks WatchMojo, there was some stuff in there I wasn't aware of, very cool countdown.
The Super soaker fact was so new to me.
This was informative. Some I knew, some I didn't. By the by, black people have always accepted all people. When it comes to people accept us well.....
Here some other facts:
A few towsand black men, free and along side their masters, volunteered to fight in the conferate army and they had their guns and promoted their own officials.
American free black men did own slaves, as early as 1654 and through the civil war
The first black men to become officers in the military for the first time ever in America was while fighting for the confederate states (unlike the Union, where blacks served as cookers and other non combatent positions, as we have seen in movies)
Whites (English and Portuguese as far as I know) bought black slaves from Black slavers. Because an European person would die of diseace shortly after setting foot in African ground, so Africans were the middle men in the slave trade. (They would buy slaves with gold or if there was inside conflicts, black slavers would rather have European guns)
Sunday churches in black communities are much less boring than Sunday church in white communities. Love them singing, I feel happiness when I hear "Oh happy day!" in movies.
Thank you for making this video, appreciated.
Crispus Attucks (a black freeman) was the first person killed in the Boston massacre, and is widely considered to be the first American casualty in the American Revolutionary War. Why is this historic fact among the top 5, 10, 20?
thank you for this video
What is 'Black' history? - Black people come from many diverse cultures and ethnic identities each with their own history.
Chick in the thumbnail looked like Hannibal Buress in a wig
Thank you!
I hate that even though it's Black History month...teachers still don't teach us anything.
Here in 2020 🥰
