  • The speaker is Dr. Bernard Anderson. Professor. Author. Corporate executive. I interviewed him in 1989 An estimate questions about the 1950s and 1960s when he was growing up. He was a witness to that time and articulate analyst looked at culture, individual experiences, and the big picture. I will be posting several comments by Dr. Anderson. #1950s #civilrights #bernardanderson

      @GTFOH Would you care to elaborate further on that comment.

    • @andrewforte3852
      @andrewforte3852 Před 3 lety +1

      @GTFOH So you're saying that this man's historical testimony is a sham or fallacy, in regards to police brutality and oppression of inner city communities, especially during the 50's and 60's up to our present day?

    • @andrewforte3852
      @andrewforte3852 Před 3 lety +1

      @GTFOH Then if you feel that strongly about it, why put in your petulant comments, much less expose yourself to what he has to say? At the end of the day it's neither here or there.

      @GTFOH Your comment is a total and utter nonsense, white officer are over represented in black communities, Only about 12 percent of the population in Prince George’s County, Md., is white, but roughly 38 percent of the police in various departments in the county are white - making the police force more than three times as white. Just under 10 percent of Bronx residents are white, so the 33 percent of white police from various agencies is also three times as high. Philadelphia has a greater imbalance, with one-third of the population white but 59 percent white police. Cook County around Chicago has 42 percent white residents but 55 percent white police. Racism is alive and kicking, just as it did in the past, the difference is there is a camera to show their evil deeds.

      By turning his attention to the north he exposed the hypocrisy and duplicitous character of the whites there, who unfairly criticized him for trying to make changes even though to them everything was racially adequate.

      The place that he marched through, Marquette Park, eventually became the headquarters for the National Socialist Party of America, a Neo-Nazi organization. Many of the marchers that harassed and attacked King and his supporters when he marched through Marquette Park displayed swastikas and Confederate flags. I think this was on August 5, 1966.

    These are some great points, the cops and public jobs in the north were almost exclusively part of the patronage machine.
    It must have taken a huge toll on him to keep calm when lecturing or talking about this stuff.

    Gotta remember that there was an ideological split during the 60’s. Malcolm”s “By any means necessary” (the rebellion of Haiti for instance) vs King’s nonviolent approach (Gandhi’s model in India). They were amicable towards each other recognizing that the goal was the same and forcing the power structures hand to make sure blood didn’t run in the streets. The FBI was infiltrating both men’s groups and trying to pit one against the other and within their own ranks. I was a teenager during these times and HATED the King model! As a believer in and follower of Yeshua I now realize that true freedom starts spiritually and is the only way to breaking the shackles.

    He is spot on, the blacks I encountered in 63-64 while in segregated Arkansas were good country folk and did not partake in rioting compared to northern blacks. You can not help but thank MLK for his leadership, he had the back bone and courage but we knew he would pay the ultimate price. I remember the news of his passing and saw first hand the destruction of Newark, NJ. God bless MLK.

    These interviews with Dr Anderson were conducted, I'd guess, in the 80s or 90s. I'm surprised I had never heard of him before because his analyses of the civil rights era and post-WW2 America are so well-informed, understood, insightful, and intelligently articulated. The set of interviews with him are highly informative and in many ways enlightening, providing insights I had not heard before. His perspective and intellect in some ways reminds of Thomas Sowell, who I hold in the highest esteem. There is much that can be learned even today from listening to this man speak about that era of America. It provides background depth for understanding (at least to certain extent) the spectacles currently commanding our attention - even though the America of the 21st century is starkly different from 1950s/60s America. Greatly appreciate that Mr Hoffman brought him to our attention.

    so... this is why I don't watch television and expect the truth, David.... the same thing happened in the Peace movement.. I was mostly in Europe during the civil rights stuff... but got back in time to watch Dr King walk across the bridge from Arlington into Washington DC to deliver the I have a Dream speech... I was 10.. my mom took me... the woman who took care of me after school went too... we held hands with people in the front less than 100 feet from the bridge...

      the use of force and coercion is...
      not ok
      if I come over to you and demand that you jump up and down... hand over your stuff... or anything else... it's not ok

      it doesn't matter how many people do the demand...
      you cannot get good results from doing something wrong
      this works in both directions, y'all... those guys over there are our brothers and sisters... even if they don't have the same ideas... or whatever...
      our physical characteristics are given to us in the DNA.. DNA can change over Time to adapt to the environment... RNA is passed unchanged from one generation to the next by our mothers... this means your mother's RNA is... pretty much, exactly like my mother's RNA...

    You can't fix the racism problem in police when the institution of police is controlled by the extremist elements within the FOP. I don't believe in personal resentment or retaliation against individuals just because they are police officers. We need to change the whole criminal justice system to one of Restorative Justice. Within that new system, policing would be done as needed, not overly done to impose ethnic cleansing and economic exploitation.
