RED SUMMER OF 1919 - 10th Cav Buffalo Soldiers vs Police
Vložit

- In this video we discuss what were the drivers to the horrific "Red Summer of 1919" by focusing on one specific event - the Battle for Brewery Gulch in Bisbee, Arizona on July 3rd, 1919.
If you'd like to read the full text of the memo sent by Colonel J.L.A. Linard (underneath General Pershing's command) to the French command, you can do so via this link:

Thats incredible, Americans literally wrote letters saying 'do not treat these troops like normal people because they're African American' and the French troops were like 'wow' and burned them up🔥
Sadly, Black Jack Perishing was the writer. A young officer served under Gen Perishing after Columbus New Mexico. He was a very young Gen George Patton.
To be fair, the military is subordinate to the civilian government in the US so he had to follow the policies of Woodrow Wilson and the southern Democrats. And writing 'do not treat these troops like normal people _in front of white Americans'_ kind of makes the white Americans sound bad if seeing a black man treated normally will set them off...
Here in SW England, when GIs arrived in the '40s the locals accepted them, and didn't give a stuff about colour. There were documented occassions when white GI's tried to stop black GIs dancing with local girls, and the white GIs were shown the door. The view here was that these men are coming to our Country to fight; who cares what colour they are?
Yeah that's very noble and i'm proud that my country did that, but to be fair the french officers did that more because the military desperately needed more men, and knowing that if you give soldiers the respect they deserve they'll usually fight way better, rather than because they were shocked by the rascim and segregation (i'm pretty confident most of them were hardliner colonialists). The French Army had tons of colonial troops fighting on the western front that are still not given the credit they deserve (eventhough the idea they were seen as more expendable is wrong, their casualty rates are similar or lower than the white soldiers')
@@alanlawson4180 I was going to say something along the same lines.
A lot of people in Cornwall (and elsewhere I'm sure) won't have sugar in tea because they didn't want to support the plantations abroad.
Yet another example of why you shouldn’t surrender your arms, and why you should embrace your fellow Americans as brothers/sisters.
100 rounds fired and nobody hit except the unfortunate Hispanic woman. I’m thinking the soldiers had been drinking and the posse were just shitty marksmen.
@@Chiller01 Or were trying to NOT murder each other, but too stubborn to stand down.
@Frank Tank stop that.
@Adam Williams he can say it and we can also tell him hes a piece of shit for saying it. So fuck off.
i mean he's not wrong. you can't support globalization and marxism and still claim to be a patriot of the United States.
I really enjoy these Vignette videos! I'm of the belief that all history, no matter how "uncomfortable" or "shocking", must be preserved and understood. We cannot allow ourselves to forget. Many of your Vignette videos have taught me about historical events which I wouldn't otherwise have been aware of. Thank you for sharing your love of history! :)
If we don't learn from past mistakes, we are forced to repeat them.
Also personally, and as a German, I 100% agree with you.
@Matt Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out! :)
@Matt Will check this out.
Karl, your empathy is refreshing. The loudest voices never seem to have any. Yours is worth listening to.
I might like the directly firearm related content on this channel, but I support this channel for pieces like this. Great work, keep it up!
Pro 2A, Pro Wobbly, Pro history, Anti racist. This is why I love Karl and Inrange. Keep up the good work. Just gained a patreon sub
Being European and not following Amarican politics and sentiments, can someone explain to me what 'Pro Wobbly' means? I figured 'pro 2a' out, thats your second amandment thing about carrying arms, right? I don't mean this as a political question, maybe someone can just explain the issue if at all possible, thanks 😀
"woobly" refers to Industrial Workers of the World union. Unions are political issue in the US. @@hetschipVeronica
gun channel sharing anti-racist messages and talking about Wobblies in a positive light, love to see it
God help us
@Brian Zhang facts real leftists all about the constitution and 2a rights
the history speaks for itself. it just needs to be told
@@enathanielg If they haven't I'm hoping they cover Blair Mountain. The Free Speech Fights would also be awesome to see covered, but I'm probably hoping for a bit too much there.
Pretty sure this confirms my suspicions about inranges political leanings, and that makes me over the moon
This is the reason I am a patron. The subject matter is why I'm a 2nd Amendment rights advocate.This is the history that I convey during "the 2nd is For Everyone: Diversity Shoot" since 2015 and on the 2A4E podcast. Saying American citizens don't need the 2nd Amendment because tyranny would never happen in America ignore that it's already happened in America. #knowyourhistory
One thing I don't understand is how a group of citizens, even heavily armed as some American are, could cope against the Federal Government war apparatus, they simply have bigger guns.
It's a real question, not trying to be polemic or anything....
@@redkawa636 Insurgencies generally don't succeed via conventional military victory, they succeed via holding out long enough for the government to show its hand by being so bloody and draconian that the people decide they prefer the rebels to the government.
@@theseukonnen1200 True....100 years ago, but nowadays, with people living to post their butts on Instagram and freaking out if the new Iphone is sold out I doubt it.
You also forget "they" control the media, all the media, they can tell people what they want and people would believe it.
Sorry but I am super skeptical about that as reasoning for the 2nd.
As guns' enthusiasts we love it, but that's about it in 2020.
@@redkawa636 i’m skeptical about the reasoning for the 2A, but just because one supports the 2A doesn’t mean they necessarily support the reasoning behind it.
rather it might have to do more with the practical benifit it affords people.
like i also doubt the citizens of the US would be able to organize a legitimate defense against our armed forces, especially since our military’s experience for the past 15+ years has been specifically in fighting insurgent/guerilla forces.
but it does allow for practical defense in emergency situations, such as racist attacks or home invasions by police or citizens. or for people who live in rural environments where they often have to fend for themselves or hunt for sustenance, it’s an everyday part of life.
I don’t care why the 2A was drafted, but i do care about the legitimate benefits it affords people.
@@lilchinesekidchen Eh, but the defense against the government is the reason I hear the most...and it does not make sense to me.
But also in a home defense scenario I have my doubts, I'd rather up the defenses of my home (I would never live in one of those American paper boxes) then face a professional criminal who would not hesitate my split second to shoot.
What would go into my mind in that split second? lawyers, Police, Hospital, news coverage, threats from the deceased person's family and generally about 100K in expenses...then I'm dead!:-))
Don't get me wrong, I love guns, I am ex military and own a few myself, I just feel safer in a continent where most of people is unarmed, considering the kind of people we need to deal with today.
I really wish one day somebody could explain me real practical reasons for the 2nd, rather then "stick it to the man" or "a bear might attack my family"..I am just interested in the subject, that's all:-)
The US army segregation lasted until at least WW2, and caused a lot "wtf" moments in the UK when GI's were garrisoned here (eg "park street riots" on Wikipedia")
Some thing in Australia with the Battle of Brisbane
Yes my father, an Army veteran, was subjected to this during his service in Great Britain during WWII.
I think the segregation in the United States military in fact lasted until about the time of the Korean War so the early 1950’s.
Desegregation happened to America the same year that the United States Air Force was formed. 1947.
That's interesting because the British had segregated Indian regiments which were comprised of Indian troops but had British officers until 1947.
I know I’m piling on, but CZcams definitely needs more content like this. Though my financial support of you is paltry, please use it to continue providing historical content like this.
Karl is an example of the kind of vehement anti-reactionary we need far more of among supporters of gun rights.
I didn't expect dark corners of American history when I subbed to this channel. It makes my American friends enthusiasm for the 2nd amendment much clearer.
2:18 - Not that it actually matters, but I think the correct term is "disinter." Just FYI.
as a french, i'm in shock that US command asked that to french officer in ww1.. i can understand why some of them joined the french troops and stayed here.
thank you for sharing this part of the story of your country
French officers: "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!"
Pershing: "Oh! We too, enjoy Liberty, eagles and frat parties!"
French officers: "..."
Karl, episodes like this are one of the major reasons I am a Patreon of your channel. Honestly, it's a challenge right now for me to quell my anger after seeing and reading the "secret" and very racist correspondence that General "Black Jack" Pershing promulgated as well as the racist correspondence by President Wilson, who was probably the most racist President ever, right up there with Andrew Johnson.
Part of my anger stems from my father's experience in World War II, where he patriotically served his country, but as many Black Soldiers during that war, was relegated primarily to a service role. Unfortunately, he had undiagnosed PTSD from his participation in D-Day, which didn't manifest itself to us until years later (another story). It wasn't from what most people would think, but it was from collecting dead bodies of the White Patriots, who were allowed to fight, but died on the beaches of Normandy. Who knows, if he had been allowed to fight, my 5 brothers and sisters may not have been born.
My father, because he loved the Army so much, went on to have a distinguished career in the Illinois National Guard, where he retired as a Sergeant First Class. His service there included riot duty during the Martin Luther King riots, with shoot to kill orders on the Chicago West Side along with later guarding the infamous Cuban refugees, who had been criminals or criminalized in Cuba, under Castro, that were sent here as a political stunt by that regime.
As I, along with many other Americans, and the world wait for the outcome of this election, your words of "induced amnesia" really resonate. Thank you as always for your content. I have an even higher appreciation for valiantry of the Buffalo Soldiers. If you're ever in the Houston area, I encourage you and others to visit the Buffalo Soldier's Museum here. I'm due for another visit after watching this enlightening content. Again, thank you sir!
Thank you for your comment. "induced amnesia" seems to be fairly common in a wide range of human history. It is something that Graham Hancock says often about the more distant past.
As a native Arizonan who's family has been here since before statehood (and who homesteaded near Portal) this is fantastic content. It is important even if I had no connection to Arizona, but I truly love what you're doing and appreciate it.
This is fantastic content, and something I hope to see more of on InRange. Proud to support you guys and the creation of fantastic and educational content such as this.
4:06 I saw this List and thought. "Thats a damn long list."
And that is an incomplete list of major events from just 1919.
It's unnerving when I realize I've been through some of those places.
And then it kept going.
19th century has lists just as long.
That letter is shocking. It's amazing how much is glossed over in history classes. It seems most high school classes go something like "slavery ended in 1865, things weren't great at water fountains or lunch counters but that was solved in 1964. Racism is over." Thank you for sharing this vital story.
Faster than a Nevada vote count.
I feel bad about that
They set a low bar
Interesting video & timing. In a similarly contested election in 1876 Rutherford B Hayes was declared president but the price was the “great comprimise” which withdrew federal troops from the south ending reconstruction and signalling the beginning of Jim Crow.
@@Chiller01 I won't be reconstructed and I do not give a damn.
So?
You probably got some pushback on this episode. However, it's real American history.
Thanks for having the courage to tell us about our past, including the nation's sins and faults.
We are much better now than then, but we are a work in progress, as always.
Yes, we can't avoid remaking the mistakes of the past if we don't acknowledge them.
@@turbografx16 Absolutely true. History is an excellent teacher.
I was somewhat stunned to see Connecticut listed twice in the places race riots took place. It was never mentioned in school or anywhere. This amnesia is why, or at least one of the many reasons, we keep reenacting this stupidity even into the 21st century.
And today I found out - Black Jack Pershing was something of a dick.
To be fair to Pershing, the wording of the letter(s) seems to be more focused on preventing racial violence, rather than a desire to keep black soldiers "in their place". Pershing was one of the more outspoken proponents of black American troops, and I think his issuing of those orders was, to him, a necessary evil to prevent white vigilantism in the Army, and thus a breakdown of order in the AEF. Just from what was shown here, the focus seems to be less on how equality and fraternity would be harmful to social order, and more on how it would incense white American troops and cause problems for black troops. Still really shitty, but I don't think it was simply a case of Pershing being spiteful. Dude was still a product of his time, of course, so it would be dishonest to say he had zero racist views, just that he was still better than the majority.
At the beginning of the Civil War President Lincoln sent troops into Connecticut to prevent Connecticut from seceding.
@@Gallipoli620 I think you may well be onto something there. As a Brit I used to almost resent FDR for not getting into WW2 earlier. I came to realise that he did want to but couldn't unless he was president so had an election to win first.
To decide, and one's own _need_ to decide, whether he was acting deceptively, politically, or heroically depends on personal beliefs and preconceptions. An open and balanced view can take time.
@@buggs9950 FDR was President from 1933 to 1945....He and Hitler came to power simultaneously. Prior to Pearl Harbor, the USA was extremely isolationist....Led by, among others, Charles Lindbergh, buried up the road from me on Maui...
I always love this type of videos.
The case of early 1900s syndicalists, in particular, has a lot to teach. Basically, they were just a large number of factory workers arguing for their right to not have their kids die of malnutrition and tuberculosis but the same people that owned the factories and mines also owned the newspapers and they made the public think of them as dangerous terrorists thirsty for blood. An interesting tale about fear and deception that always makes me think who's profiting whenever I hate my fellow man.
And that dynamic hasn't changed. Anarchists are still maligned as agents of chaos by the corporate press.
@ high five to my fellow anarchists and syndicalists!
It’s more the case that blame and animosity placed on Anarchist Syndicalist was disproportionate rather than completely unfounded. The campaign by the federal government and commercial interests to brand organized (and particularly foreign born) labor as “seditious” during this period has a lasting legacy. BUT violent terrorism in the form of bombings DID occur such as those carried out by the Gallieanists in 1919 and the earlier Preparedness Day bombing in San Francisco. Additionally, materials from the time encouraged supporters and cells to carry out “Propaganda by the deed” in just such a fashion.
You are in very special place Mr Karl. You've already changed my view on gun culture in USA. Now you get me better educated person. I'm thankful.
Fantastic vignette! Respect the effort you put into these.
Proto red and black scare? That's the All American Special
1919 was a crazy year.
As always, a terrific walk through an otherwise forgotten (or we should perhaps say suppressed) part of our history. 👍
Love your retro AR replica videos
@@MichaelMacGyver thanks!
I think it's important not to let it be labelled as "forgotten" actually, it neatly absolves people & broader society of blame. The words we use can be so important in ways we cannot anticipate. Love your content both here and on your channel Deev! One of my favourite CZcamsrs, I know you have a lot of admiration for Karl & Ian, but know that some of us out here look at you in the same way.
great info
Everytime I see you comment its always "great info". Is this some code for a richard party?
That letter Pershing sent was absolutely disgusting, no wonder why they were burned
Videos like this are the reason InRange is one the best channels on CZcams. You're awesome!
Big oof. That's tough to read, but so important to remember. Most people with an interest in history tend to forget that most of what our great-grandparents took for granted would horrify us today. Thank you for the very candid information that reminds us just how far we've come.
And that's why we're reliving that history today: lessons learned are easily forgotten.
As a biracial son of a black veteran of the Korean War I truly appreciate the true history you display in your video . I lost my dad 6 years ago and he did not talk much of his experiences, but i always got the sense that he never felt black soldiers were ever given the respect they deserved for their service.
Thank you for doing this Karl! We need more people willing to cover chapters of history intentionally left out of the traditional narrative. You’re doing a great job, keep up the great work!
Hey Karl, do you think the 1921 Tulsa Race Riots were part of this same post-war series of violent events? Think you might come to the Tulsa area to put your unique spin on that event?
The History Guy and The Great War channel have both covered the 1919 communist and racist paranoia. This gives a good particular to their overviews.
Thank you so much for showing American history that has been buried and forgotten.
You’re appreciated.
Keep the content coming.
Content of quality like this is so rare, many thanks to Inrange for bringing this. It is so hard to find "new" history and not the same old rehashed ww2 stories over and over again. Inrange and Ian where the first i suported via patreon and i have never regretted it, as a matter a fact since the quality is getting better and better i usualy up my contribution every now and then.
Some channels that "rehash" WWII also cover topics like this. The Great War and History Guy - ... channels have covered some of this history. 'Between Two Wars' by TimeGhost History channel, talked about the beginning of the red scare recently:
m.czcams.com/video/ITxVRfBVo4s/video.html
Fascinating video... history that often time won't be remembered if not for channels like this 👍🕊️
Thank you again for your historical content. I cannot get enough of it and frequently re-watch episodes. Please never stop.
I always appreciate when you produce this kind of content. It also always saddens me when you provide information and stories that I should have been taught in high school and college.
Who is ready for /k/ to have a complete shit fit again?
more like ARFCOM lmao never seen a bigger bunch of neocon fudds, at least /k/ traditionally had some nuance though ever since the website's switch to become the new hub for white supremacist/nationalist boomers and Qtards I'm sure /k/ has fallen as well
Now *THIS* is the content I sub for. Sure, all the shooting stuff is great but *THIS*, this is the history that must be remembered and it is an absolute shame so many don't know about it. Hell, most people don't even know about Blair Mountain or Bacon's Rebellion.
Our entire labor history is lost to the general population as well.
After this lesson, any minority known that never should surrender their weapons. Can you do anything about Blair Mountain battle?
remember to join the IWW
I subscribed to InRange because of the firearms content, but it was the vignettes that pushed me to become a patron.
These ignored and/or forgotten history vignettes are not merely enlightening and entertaining, they're IMPORTANT. Please continue to present content like this, Karl!
Great video Karl. As always, extremely relevant and extremely needed.
Is there any content planned on the Battle of Blair Mountain, Colorado Coal Wars, or maybe Tulsa Massacre?
Not inrangeTV, but this is a pretty good short retelling of the Battle of Blair mountain, by a wise man in Florida. czcams.com/video/z-qZVy0TblY/video.html
This right here, this kind of content is why this is the best gun channel on CZcams. Not just history, but woke history.
Its hard to find firearm related channels with such a nuanced approach to politics, history, and civil rights. Keep up the good work!
Karl in Bisbee: Stanhope podcast crossover episode when?
I wish!
I request Bingo as well.
LOL I thought the same thing
Jesus Christ this is one of those videos you watch and are just astounded you've never heard of it. And really I shouldn't be surprised but I still am. Great work, thanks for sharing.
I love this channel...I appreciate how versed you guys are about firearms, but also discussing history that is ignored.
Great video on an Important subject. I'll definitely be using this in an EO presentation in the future.
These vids are my favourites. I truly enjoy everything you guys are doing. Thanks!!
This is history documentary at its best.
I look forward to future videos and most definitely will educate myself in this subject.
Thanks for bringing this and similar events to the general public.
Fantastic post. Three weeks later the Robert Charles riots in New Orleans began. Another story worth telling. Thank you.
Nice to see a 2A channel that’s taking the right side of these issues. Had to unsub from some big gun channels in the last several months as they showed their alt-right views.
I don't know why I was surprised to see my fellow IWW workers playing a role in some of this, as this sort of wobbly history is exactly why I joined the union, but it sure was a pleasant surprise. Thank you so much for doing this sort of content as I think it's extremely important, even just digging through some of the IWW's standoffs with authorities and the coal wars was a big wake up call. These stories about America's classism and racism really need to be heard.
Thanks Karl, if only every person was as sensible and conscious like you! Thank you for this documentary.
Would you consider doing a series of videos on the myth of the Lost Cause and the resultant building of Confederate monuments throughout the South and the rest of the United States?
Atun-Shei Films has done a lot of videos about that sort of stuff.
I love watching your historical videos like this. I live in Morenci and love seeing stories so close to home.
These are some of my favorite videos. I love history. Even when it's not showing our good side. Thanks
Thank you for making important content such as this!
I fear many people have taken the wrong message from this of "don't be disarmed" rather than "don't give in to white supremacy".
The Palmer Raids started in Oct. of 1919. There was nothing “proto” about it, this *was* a Red Scare.
Thank you for producing this. This is the real American history, that of the never ending battle for labor rights and civil rights against dominating institutions and the law enforcement that make it possible.
This made me a Patreon. I've been a fan of InRange and Forgotten Weapons from their starts but this video seals the deal about the hunches I've long held about Karl and Ian.
Y'all are good eggs. Thanks and keep it up. You make shooting a respectable interest.
This video got me to sign up to your patreon. Keep up the good work my friend.
Bisbee is also where Doug Stanhope lives.
There is definitely a lot of chosen amnesia in most communities throughout this country & im thankful for seeing light brought to it.
Its not "chosen amnesia"... its the fact that the players are all long dead and the world is a very different place today than it was 100 yrs ago. Ask a local about the Bisbee Race Riot and they will scratch their head and ponder for a moment..and either say "uh'? or remember hearing about it. Few people who live there now..had family that lived there then and it would be their great great grand parents. folks the people you are chatting with never met or knew much about. This holds true all across America. I live in a small California town that at one time, had a sign on the edge of town saying "nigger dont let the sun go down on you in this town". Yet I marched in the 1963 Detroit freedom march with Dr King. its racial history doesnt apply to me..or anyone I know. I have GREAT appreciation for Karl holding these mini history lessons and continue to look for them every day. (along with Ians videos)
@@GunnerAsch1 nah it's definitely chosen. many massive tragedies are swept under the rug in k-12 american history classes.
@@DrNo-xt9fn K-12 history isn’t meant to provide this detailed an overview of American history - it’s generally intended to provide the student with a broad sample of the historical landscape. Unless you’re a university student interested in the history of racial segregation or a WW1 buff, you’ll probably have little opportunity to ever hear about this.
Humans have a long tenancy to recency bias and selectively forgetting difficult or unresolved issues in our collective or national history. It is not new, just more... pronounced that we have so much more access to a wide variety of source materials.
Writer Graham Hancock has observed that; " 'Humans are a species with amnesia...' ( speaking about intentionally forgetting parts of our more distant past ) ".
These types of videos are really important. 1919 was only a hundred years ago. The Civil rights movement only took place roughly sixty years ago. We are not beyond resorting back to racist behavior.
As proven by the DNC to this day
Thats it. You have inspired me to take a trip and tour all of the old and new west of AZ. I lived there for 25 years of my life and havent even visited the Grand Canyon. Now that I moved back to CA I feel like i never appreciated what AZ has to offer. Now that its cooler, Im definitely going to take a trip back to AZ and tour all the historical sites. It will take a while but if you would please, in the mean time please keep these videos coming, as they are very interesting.
Brilliant Karl! how weird that history repeats itself 100 years later! Keep up the good work my friend.
@High Horse black men being systemically murdered by the people in charge. Groups being labelled as Bolsheviks or communists. Government using people's differences to segregate and sow hatred. People of colour being forced to give up their weaapons against the 2nd amendment you all hold so dear and yet no-one stands up for them.
I was unaware of this. This is why i keep coming back to these old west vignettes, it's fascinating to me how much of this stuff happened and if just never discussed. Thank you.
Proud to support this kind of content via Patreon.
Awesome work! Thank you for your time! Excellent
Videos like this are EXACTLY what got me off the fence to support you on Patreon.
I wanted to commend you on providing this community a historical viewpoint that is desperately needed in this current political climate. I think we can all agree that having our historiographical predispositions challenged is immensely beneficial to our society. Again, thank you
The California education system made it seem like the eastern United States was the only part that had incorporated segregation. Hollywood too.
California had race riots long before the 1960s...and there have been a bunch in the past 40 yrs. So its not a squeeky clean state.
Don't you believe it. _The entire state of Oregon_ was 'whites only' until 1926.
Props for covering this. It can be an uncomfortable thing, analysing aspects of one's own country's history that are rather less than glorious (trust me - as a Brit, it's a discomfort I'm all too familiar with), but to ignore such things is to contribute to the possibility of them happening again. Learning from the mistakes and unpleasantness that our ancestors were responsible for is incredibly important.
There isn't a country on Earth that can lay claim to a history of perfect, humane behaviour, and having the honesty and balls to face that fact is something that should probably be happening a great deal more.
I always enjoy these historical videos. Cheers.
Thanks for these historical videos, Karl.
This is an amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing this fascinating bit of history!
Excellent piece of content. I dip in to your videos from time to time but after watching your thoughts on the recent Parler issue and then finding this, I certainly must subscribe.
Thanks Carl once again you've brought us historical information from a non bias point of view I greatly appreciate it. Stories like this deserve to be brought to light to honor these men. Great job man keep up the good work!
thank you for doing these kind of videos, i know they are not as watched as your firearms stuff, but i really enjoy them.
These videos are my favorite part of this channel. Great work, keep them coming!
Fascinating. There genuinely is a staggering amount of historical "amnesia" in the US about recent horrific historical events.
It is a bit of human nature to live mostly in a recency bias perspective lifestyle. As Graham Hancock has said, " 'Humans are a species with amnesia...' ( i.e. intentionally "forgetful" about huge parts of our past ) ".
@@williestyle35 Agreed but the US does appear to excel at it.
@@TJH1 that’s debatable
every country has it, I assume you live in the US so it’s most apparent because you have the most experience with it.
To me it seems the reason there was no injuries or deaths to the Police Officers would have to come down to restraint from the soldiers.
Thanks this is important history that should never be forgotten.
mandatory engagement post to hopefully help the algorithm
I despise Woodrow Wilson, a stain on the history of the United States.
very thankful for the work you've done in this series. would love to see a video on the battle of blair mountain. thanks for reppin the wobs
In case anyone's curious and wants to be disappointed in their fellow man, there in fact are people deciding that a video about part of a pogrom is the right place to say 'you know, the perpetrators were on to something, I should advocate for a red scare'. Thankfully their idiocy is getting cleaned up.
So, I learned something today. I paused that list and went through it, looking for something I hoped I wouldn't see. But I did. I saw my home town in there. So a bit of googling pulls up the name John Shillady, an Exec from the NAACP. A white Irishman, John came to Texas because the state AG declared that the NAACP had no charter in Texas and could not operate in the state. The constable of the state capital, the city Judge, and a group of concerned citizens beat the hell out of him on one of the busiest streets downtown in front of the cities nicest hotel. When the NAACP pressed charges, the State Governor said he had it coming.
Karl, from the other side of the pond and with growing pleasure and respect. It is a privilege to see this direct evidence of an intention to grasp the thornier bits of American history and to present them factually and unslanted. I will not judge directly the past by current standards, but I will not suffer the past to go unchallenged where it is necessary to do so. Illuminations like yours are to be treasured. Thank You.
Karl, when I was getting my history degree, one of the most resonating things I ever learned was that it our duty to tear down the altars to the idols of our past. Keep up the good work!
Would love to sit down and have coffee with you some day
I suspect that would be a fantastic conversation. Thank you for the comment.
Karl: Mentions the IWW

What a disgusting letter.
Thanks Karl! This topic is sadly 'dropped' from history. I applaud you for bringing it out!
Thank you for these videos!
So glad InRange is covering these issues.
Thank you for these real history lessons. Real history matters.
Our teachers would hit us when we told the truth about what went on in history, because the facts in context did not match the drool that the teachers fed us.
There were similar race riots in Chitcago at the same time that followed the same themes. The IL National Guard was used to keep the peace. They actually kept the peace, not doing what the criminal politicians, criminal business "leaders", and criminal police wanted. Understanding the race riots in Chitcago is super important to understanding human behavior.. Why did the race riots happen? How was the violence escalated? How was violence reduced? How was long term peace developed? How did the misunderstanding of the race riots affect different groups? How did organized crime help? How did organized crime hurt? How were the communists dealt with? How were legitimate issues handled? These uncomforable questions caused the teachers to get violent and hit us in school. How did self defense work for students against violent teachers? Why were the police officerd on the side of the violent teachers, but the Sheriff was on the side of the students?
The riots in chicago was not only hard on the blacks, but some blocks of white housing were also burned down from what I heard.
At the time did not understand the basis behind a white employee in a Sears or wards store about 1964 in chicago walking out when a young black woman was brought in to the work the counter. She was elderly woman with a strong polish accent, not at all uncommon to hear polish accents in those days.
It was not until much later that I learned just how serious those chicago riots were. See the film the killing floors that was about unions, slaughter houses, and blacks , some that were brought in as strike breakers. The Irish were much involved in the racial fighting that followed. Here are some scenes from the film. czcams.com/video/0GQb-UXKshY/video.html&ab_channel=FilmMovement
There were race riots in Chitcago in 1918-9 and then in the 1960's.
My Dad was beaten unconscious at a Chitcago Park District baseball game, and his girlfriend was attacked in the worst way. That sparked a local race riot where many people died. It was bad.
Later on there was a protest where the military was called in. My Dad was given an M1 Garand and kept watch over the protesters with his military buddies. An order was given to shoot and pill the protesters. No way. They were protesting, not rioting. The criminal Police Officers were apprehended by the military for ordering the military to shoot. Give the protesters a chance to be heard, but looting and rioting would not be tolerated.
My Mom was beaten senseless and spat on but not graped in one of the race riots in Chitcago.
The priests armed the high school kids with handguns to protect the younger kids. The lines were drawn. Cross race attacks would involve firearms as retaliation. Eventually, peace was made.
My family moved out of Chitcago. Riots are bad.
