Arturo Stojanoff Well yeah black Americans are american too. Blues in these communities gave way to jazz, r&b, rock and roll, country and hip hop. Modern music as we know it was created in America.

You tell em Arturo!

Sc j So we're just going to erase the existence of actual native Americans, nice

Sc j To be a "Real American" you have to be native

Bre how about just saying blacks innovated modern music you don't need to throw the American title around

Rising numbers of Gang Violence cases may also be a large reason

regular_max with gang violence comes profiling. A double whammy.

Awo and on purpose too

Sam guy we didnt LEAVE. we were made to. most of us were here already when slavery was SUPPOSED to have "ended"

A summany of the video, without using race. A group of people were miss treated and forced to work as slaves. Bills were passed to help the people to live like everybody else. Because they didn't have relatives with wealth before them, they would have to move to a place for an opportunity. After years of successful offspring, they found homes that best fit their occupation. I could have added a lot more, but you get the idea.

To eliminate race from this equation is to willfully ignore truth and reality. I don't care for such a narrow point of view. That does not achieve any useful goals. Many people's love or hate is based very much in the amount of melanin in a person's skin. To ignore that is to obfuscate much of human history. This is a useless practice.

Jesse Corder Forming an opinion from a person's prominent feature such as skin pigment is ignorant. Yes, black people were treated inhumanly treated because of the color of their skin, but that shouldn't matter today. Holding people accountable for the trouble actions of people from the past to the people of the present keeps a unjustified narrative alive.

Sam guy AA's have a lot of Southernisms. But since the whites did not migrate to areas of urban media, these surviving Southernisms became termed "black" and evolved separately. This is also why whites are judged as being so different. Northern whites were different from Southern whites.

That doesn't answer the 2nd question tho

Heineken why is your 12 year old ass trolling on this video

Christian News I'm from Kentucky too. Kentucky was the middle ground... My maternal grandmother was from Mississippi and migrated to Kentuckky in the 2nd wave in the 40's That was the case with my paternal grandmother too, from North Carolina. And my sister's paternal grandmother's family from Tennessee. They all landed in Louisville. However, all the men were ORIGINALLY from central Kentucky! There was an iNNER migration in the south too. From the rural south to the larger city/towns of the south. Atlanta drew blacks from rural Georgia and Alabama. Memephis exploded with blacks coming out of Mississippi. Kentucky sent a lot of black people away too...but some of us stay and went to places like Louisville, Lexington etc... There were slightly better conditions. Louisville HAD a fairly stable black middle class for the time with the first black public library, a black university(simmons college of kentucky) berea college in the mountains...and some of the harsher treatment seen in the DEEP south was not AS common... I would like to se a video on the migration of blacks OUT of Kentucky. In the civil war era we represented 20% of the population and today only 9% The outward migration exceeded the inward migration and birth rate.

don jose idiot

Yeah blacks should be in the south....the south of Africa.

Sushanta most of it is motion graphics,try mount mograph to learn and practice it,After effects by adobe is what most ppl use for it

Harvey Kong, thank you for the suggestion. I know they use AE and I am familiar with the basics of motion graphic. I just wanted to see how they work as their videos are really good and organized.

Sushanta yeah,looking at their editing workflow will be a very good video idea

Michael C you can,it's easy to see the mo track and mask wiping of text,but the more complicated effects will need to take more experienced graphic artists to do

Michael C, yes it could be and as you said, it would require lot of work. So if they, Vox, could just record while making the next video and maybe upload that, it won't hurt their production and as a bonus, they will have two videos while making one. Also we can see how they work.

did you take AHUG :)

Democrat policies play an ever bigger role from black Americans fleeing the north and moving back down south.

how so?

Most of the downtown/inner city revitalization movements originated with moving blacks from the cities and into the suburbs. A good example is Chicago with their high rise projects. While a good idea on paper; the result is that you move lower class people away from city centers with fewer opportunities and transportation resources. This creates secondary problems that result in the closing of schools, mixing of different 'hoods' where some kids are forced to attend schools where they can be in danger or even killed.

yes gentrification plays a role but gentrification is not a race issue but a money issue

ARVIN jobs that can't be done more efficiently by machines, like creative programming solution; being the head of a business, and a lot of min wage jobs like working at MacDonald's will not be taken by robots, as lets say the only person in a store is you and a robot till. smash the robot and steal the money. with a human, you are less likely to do that. not all jobs can be taken by robots.

+Jambott, Not all jobs will be replaced by robots, but *a lot* of them will. Sure creative jobs will be firmly in human hands, but how many creative jobs are there, compared to the replaceable jobs like truck drivers, cab drivers, and factory workers? What will they do? Surely not everyone can become a artist or designer...

yeah, the creative market contributes such an insanely tiny amount of jobs, worlds gonna need universal basic income at some point or "luxury" communism

That and opiate addiction.

+ARVIN Most likely truck drivers will sit passenger and monitor the vehicle.

KillMeWithPotato everyone on the planet is from Africa - There are a lot of carib people in America amongst other countries who do not deserve the census title, as it is not actually accurate. *Should white Americans be called Euro-Americans ?*

It's a weird subject, because no one label is offensive to me but I am a First Gen American, born and raised in Maryland but my parents are from Nigeria... I guess I'm African American, but also Nigerian by blood...

The term African American is an attempt to identify a group of people by their "native" continent, not by where the enslavement of them dropped them off.

Anthony But all blacks have African origins, so it's not like the term is completely incorrect.

Longclaw22 - don't we all ? - if that's the case why are Americans not called Euro-Americans ?

As a 4th generation Mississippian, you’re correct. I’ve read about what happened when everyone tried to leave at the same time. The Devil’s Punchbowl is one example.

Which island is your family from? Were any of them involved in the sugarcane or rum businesses?

Colin B. Yep but atleast we werent the last country to end slavery last one did in" 81"

Thank you Colin. My AP US History teacher taught that it only freed slaves in rebel states. Also, it’s important to understand- slavery was unconstitutional, but no one went to jail for enslaving people (after 1865) until 1930’s.

BillyGoat so white culture is bad got it. Asian culture looks cooler anyway. Better food not like it is in America . Sugar food that is bland and forgetful.

@@PhedelCastro Chinese improvements in technology and agriculture definitely beat out the bulldozer. Also, your comparison makes no sense. Obviously, bulldozers don't make anything, that is simply not their job. And the slaves were the only reason our economy is as advanced as it is today. Without their labor, we would be much further behind.

@@PhedelCastro yeah, but that's only because white people oppressed minorities and wouldn't allow them to get an education, open a bank account, or even own property. if not for colonialism and imperialism, minorities would have been able to do the same things. Think about it this way: jim crow laws enforced segregation and wouldn't allow black people to get the higher quality of life that whites had. these laws ended in 1965. In 2008, just 43 years later, a black man was elected PRESIDENT. black ppl in america were set much further back and still managed to succeed. also, let's not forget that many great technological inventions were invented by slaves and people of color, whose patents and designs were stolen by white people because these minorities did not have the same rights whites did. ur uneducated, ignorant, and racist. please pick a struggle

💯

We are not African Americans and wasn't slaves. We was sharecroppers, to INDENTURED SERVANT then prisoners of war. And we didn't come on know ships from Africa we BEEN here. Tell the TRUTH damn, you got the world THINKing slavery was like roots and they DID us like kunta kinta but it's false and Alex hailey was a sell out and roots was fictional he lied to AND got sued for it but the people on charge MADE sure it still got out to install WHITE supremacy in our heads . Subscribed to dane calloway on you tube, he's a historian check him out.

They missed out on a lot of stuff but Vox is really known for it's quick, info.-packed videos. So I understand why they don't include every detail in but I do hope they do more videos surrounding that topic you brought up because the red lining in the housing market was one aspect of American racial inequality that angered me specifically. There's actually this guy who did a great video about red lining I can send you the link if you are still interested. Overall if you're looking for long detailed videos that cover every slice of the pie I wouldn't recommend Vox. They are a good number of long documentaries out there.

Update I believe Vox actually did a video on red lining. Im positive i saw one a few days ago

Those are the most serious concerns that face America today, but that wasn’t the topic of the video.

gjaddajg The violence today isn't perceived either. It's just as dangerous now. You don't understand the context.

perceived violence is the correct term. actual violence is fact, perceived is thought.

"To see, to be aware of, to understand."

Is my IQ too low to understand you or is just too high?

well it's usually your perception of something that makes you think in a certain way rather than experience. You have never been murdered but you know of places with high murder rates right. well that's your perceived impression of a place. just saying.

@Complex Ez facts, NC too. Most of my family is from NC and SC (apart from my great grandmother who was from Georgia), and around the 50s they moved up to Virginia, Maryland, and DC. However around the time my dad was born his parents decided to go to Philly so that’s why my immediate family ended up farther north lol

IV Ltd American public schools are not segregated, that is literally illegal. Private schools can be segregated if they wish to though. Any school not funded by the government can be segregated.

The Potato Goddess I got to a public school and we're pretty segregated. As I said in that comment right above we're 96% white. The other schools right near ours are also above 95% whiteness. Ontario County, New York is the place, we're apparently a very diverse state lol.

Is it, though? To me it seems worse. What is your reasoning?

not all black people are African, we also don't call white people European Americans. It essentially excludes black people from truly being Americans because they're not Americans, they're African Americans. I'm ethnically Irish, that means absolutely nothing to me. Many black people feel the same as there ancestors have lived in the USA for 250+ years, just like mine.

Yeah. If you are European American that means you are first or second generation American fromEurope. If you are African American it (should) mean that you are first or second generation American from Sub-Saharan Africa. White and Black means you had ancestors in America for centuries.

xealen yes exactly!!! you guys get it! Not all black people are African and not all Africans are black. Also Africa is a continent with more than 54 countries none of which black Americans ethically or culturally identity with. We just happen to share a common group and ancestors. I have no identity outside of the americas, I'm simply black and American. After so many generations this became our home.

*ethnically

Sarkastik Overlord why omit race?

Wow.

TotallyNasira why would you lead with that and not put it's actual purpose in. The Emancipation Proclamation wasn't intended to end slavery. The Proclamation only technically freed the slaves from the states of the confederacy....so they could rise up against those who enslaved them. Of course those states didn't bother to spread the news or free their slaves. I don't believe most people are aware of the significance of Juneteenth either. Texas managed to lie to their slaves for almost 2 years about the end of the war and who the victor was. Juneteenth was the emancipation of slaves from Texas who managed to hold out for almost 2 years after the original proclamation that freed them.

+Jerrell Bevers Do not forget Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware that kept their slaves until ratification of the 13 Amendment.

Clint Davis I did forget that. That makes the Emancipation Proclamation even more underhanded....no only the slaves in the south are free, we still need y'all.

+Clint Davis Slavery was all but dead in those three by the beginning of the Civil War. The Emancipation only freed slaves in the areas of rebellion. Those three slave states were not in rebellion.

Many get out for more job and educational opportunities. People in gangs aren't likely moving anywhere and usually the news attributes everything to 'gangs'. Also, like many others have said, some of the older crowd (30 and up) are moving to the south to either reunite with family roots or start fresh with a lower cost of living.

i interpreted that statement as to why the migration isn't as large as the great migration. they aren't fleeing the SOUTH because of violence, i don't think they were referring to the migration to the south.

It's just not the same. Gang violence despite being tragic is sporadic, very random and mainly targeted at rival gangs or those who affiliate with it (although there have been many civilian victims). The 'great migration' was them fleeing from a whole societal structure that was ruthlessly oppressive. There just isn't a comparison.

Young City Bandit Generally the antagonism towards the cops doesn't happen in a vaccum. Some bad black people and some lazy/corrupt cops ruin it for everyone. Whoever has more blame, the end result is the same, even if we disagree.

xenoblad Lol the whole hood wouldnt say anything about a murder or shooting even if they saw it because they can't trust the cops. I am 100% people who would keep info from the police are mostly found in the hood. This is just true, we learned that the cops were bad from a young age.

Khaos Inoculation 😑 Slavery and Jim crow were not that long ago. Yes, there was slavery before America, I'm not sure what you're talking about specifically but slavery in America was very different from slavery prior to other countries. The systematic post-slavery oppression via Jim Crow also had long-term societal effects similar to that in South Africa post Apartheid.

There were a few deliberate 'mistakes' in this video.

Abdulkadir Ali Alot of us still live in the South though. I live in Charlotte, NC...alot of people are moving south bc of business and cheaper prices and stuff.

It's not really black people going to the south it's all races. Mainly because of the warm weather which is attractive to baby boomers which are currently retiring. All these people moving down there is attractive to businesses because of the larger market which then also attracts workers. It's just a big interconnected migration involving hundreds of thousands of people.
