Korean Girls React To African American History of 100 Years | 𝙊𝙎𝙎𝘾 

and also pregnant lol

Yeah it crazy that people didn't know about that

And also pregnant

Thanks for sharing this, and you are right about the color.

it was the her being pregnant that was the issue, not because she was dark skinned. they needed someone with a clear image. white people would have used her being pregnant and young as ammo against her and against the movement.

yup and most of the time it’s just black people specifically that are banned and no one cares about it ..

@@OctopusWhoSeesAll Probably not a specific video. Just search for black people who have storytimes about their experiences in Korea. Hope this helps.

@@girls4chuu black ppl, brown ppl and middle east ppl will top the rankings lol

@@lwlwmmm6196 It even happened to vloger who was a light skinned filipina and 2 mexicans who were also light skinned

@@hallooos7585 do what's her channel called?

Glad you pointed that out.

Yeah and technically we’ve never been immigrants at all

They didn't know- just correct

Several hundred is wrong, a few hundred is right. The US hasn't even been a country for several hundred years.

@@MissMusicForYou Black-Africans were working sugar-cane and cotton plantations in the Americas/Caribbean 100+ years, pre-dating the formal Genesis of the United States, as a recognized country.

The follow up to this would be to have them watch a video on how so much culture was stolen and appropriated

@@jerrygaines1333 Yesssss! They would be shocked!

@@yolandaperry86 Agreed!

@@jerrygaines1333 yes, especially the things/situations that dismissed black hair and culture due to Appropriation...... For instance "bo derek" and how people called her braids bo derek braids even though the braids have been a part of us for Generations..... There was even a case about it and others like it

THIS! I don’t blame them because that’s what is promote globally but still

Facts im Honduran and white and ive always stood up for the opressd , Africans and indias were here thousands of years before us ppl just need research and our schools would rather teach how to use letters with numbers lmao

My teacher lied about history about black ppl 💀

This is why i think critical race theory being taught in elementary middle and high school,It is so important.

@@jan8919 i wish they told kids everyone gets a long with each other

THANK YOU!! There's so many ignorant people who think every one else in the world should know about american history and negativity

And redlining as well. Also the persistence until this very day, like when that one woman got a low appraisal of her house and then later, almost double the amount when her friend's white husband posed as the resident to the appraiser.

And things less than 40 years ago like the War on Drugs

Right! Our history goes way deeper than that and I felt like that should've been discussed to clear the air as to why things were the way they were. This documentary was just as sugarcoated as our everyday history books in school.

I think it was left out because of monetization but if they really want to learn and understand the black culture under these circumstances they could do at least a 4 part series. But at least they are trying to learn about discrimination against black people now only if they could help teach the effects of that behavior in Korea.

You just sabe me cuz if they aren't talking about that they aren't talking

i also think that black culture is soo much more diverse than hip-hop culture, that's only a sliver of it and doesn't apply to nearly everyone in the community

@@aimua5322 to be fair, the black ppl who handed them over had them as servants with average lives (think modern maids etc.) mostly and thought the white ppl would do similar, they didnt expect the brutality tht followed to happen.

I agree

@@lilacbuni You can read/watch more about the islamic slave trade and how it connected to the atlantic slave trade. There were a lot of slave markets in Africa(some still to this day) and slavery was criminalized just 11 years ago in some countries. It's good to know more details i educated myself but as i read a lot of things I DO NOT recommend you read more details about what happend to slaves. It's gruesome and disturbing. Had nightmares for days.

It’s crazy because some Asian people won’t believe a Black person is from America but will believe a white person is

I didn't miss that either....

That would be nice

YES!!

I just wanted to mention it as well. That's where American history starts.

The topic is African Americans, not Native Americans, stay on topic. Way too many times black struggle is lumped in with everyone else's struggle.

@@d_emersonp2628 and way too many times Native Americans are ignored and never talked about. Also commenting about content we would like to see in the future is normal.

I think we sometimes forget how recent these huge injustices really are. It makes me go nuts when people say stuff like racism is in the far past.. But when you put it like this, there are plenty of people around today who lived through Jim Crow. And if you think about it, we are only 2 lifetimes removed from the abolition of slavery.

@@SalamanderMagic exactly! But racist white people try their HARDEST to distance themselves from it

@김정자 but this wasn't an opinion???

Who cares?

@김정자 that's fucked up. Damn I thought we was past the stupid ass signs

@김정자 And this is the problem with a lot of Koreans. They (Government & People) want to play on a world stage, but can’t take criticism about their country’s shortcomings.

@김정자 and this is why SK is a third world country with a Gucci belt. You won’t catch me there lol.

exactly lol

But having a law that favors and legalizes discrimination is different from not having a law that criminalizes it but I see where you're coming from

Right!!!

That’s their country. If u go into history you would know eat Asian hated foreigners and banned them from ever coming there bc of the western influence.

wow and does sk have the 529 year long history of genocide that america does? 🤪 also their constitution prohibits discrimination & these girls are all law students. but go off sarah the pale

That's what I thought too

Yes, me too! It was sort of a let down they didn't. I'm glad they showed Tulsa at least

I was WAITING for the crack epidemic

Our uncensored history would make them too uncomfortable.

💞💞💞💞 bless you

It's like how Chuck Berry should be the king of rock n roll but everybody praises the hell out of elvis. Way more talented than elvis and a better guitar player as well.

@@Duma2011 the whole concept of Elvis' was "what if we get a white man to sing like a black man???" and even stole songs from black artists so yes, exactly. Funny how to this day that is still the norm in music.

exactly, we created the main pop culture but no one wants to see it being performed by us

@@Duma2011 no one thinks elvis is the king

@@ladieslovecj but white and black Americans made music together also michael jackson's producer is European

I was like “HUH”? 💀

@@Heyguhh EXACTLY LIKE … kidnapped is a more suitable term 😭😭

@@girls4chuu right

@@girls4chuu black people were not kidnapped and white europeans made horrible deals with blacks

PFFT SAME, I was like “Immigrants?!?” 💀💀

Agreed. There’s still a lot of discrimination against African Americans/ POC. We’ve just crossed the starting line. And hopefully the finish line is nearer than it seems atm.

Yes, racism against Black people in America is still alive, sadly. Donald Trump made it popular for racist people to stop hiding and to freely & publicly display their disgusting, racist attitudes.

@@yaretzitlamatine3832 Bullshit news...

@@MagicAndReason Bullshit news

@@richardkim3652 The truth hurts, don't it?

person of colour translates exactly the same as coloured person

@@cooldude4643 Its about perception and getting rid of old language that was used to keep people down. If it's functionally the same to you, why not just use POC?

it's just translation

@@XrayTheMyth23 it's a different language completely

@@cooldude4643 , @xraythemyth23, is right in saying that how these words are arranged makes a lot of difference in the message being conveyed. Also, saying Person of Colour is much more inclusive, as it can incubus black people, the indigenous peoples of the Americas, Chinese people, those from the Middle East, those from the Far East, and so on. When the term Coloured Person, is put forth, the visual is of a black man working as a labourer, or of a black woman working as a maid. It's a more subtle and insidious kind of racism, but it's still racism. These words and phrases need to be replaced with terms that the people who have been affected by these antiquated terms are comfortable with.

Yep! I didn’t know about it until high school when I took an elective called African American studies. An ELECTIVE. The school system is so sick for separating the history of black people here as if it’s not American history🤦🏾‍♀️

Same!!

Even the “I Have a Dream” speech is actually pretty radical but people only consistently pick that one paragraph when he also talks about police brutality in the same speech

Yeah, people pick and choose to their convenience and white wash history. At the time MLK was considered super radical and a force against the American Government who obviously silenced him and Fred Hampton.

I’m gonna search for that tonight, because it’s insane that I only know MLK for two things

It’s “best actress” which is correct, a black woman was the center of the conversation and so was her first and last award. The Category is correct and we are aware others won but that’s still a small percentage.

Halle was The first female to win Best lead. Hattie and Whoopi won Best supporting yes it’s still an achievement but Halle was First

Whoopi did blackface with her racist boyfriend, she can go to hell

Yeah, but it also depends on where they studied because not everyone gets the same type of education. I mean you see they had no clue what Jim Crow laws was, even though it's a significant part of our history. Hell even though I'm black I wasn't properly taught everything about our History while in school. For Example: I didn't even know who Jim Jones was until literally last year when I watched a documentary/TV series about him with my aunt, and she explained to me what he had done. Which says a lot because I'm a mixed girl (Black, Mexican, white) living in America my whole life, studied in school until I graduated in 2018. Yet, I've never once heard of this guy until last year! That's why when everyone got on Yoongi's case about using Jim Jones speech in the beginning of one of his songs I felt annoyed because I was also uneducated about it. So if an African American whose lived here my whole life is some-what uneducated about our culture, how do you expect someone living 60,000 miles on the other side of the world to know? And yeah more foreigners are living in Korean including black people but not that many. Now, I'm not 100% defending what they do but I'm also saying we should just educate them instead of hating them, un-stanning them, and allow them to remain ignorant. And it's not like the west more specifically Americans are not as equally ignorant! Because you know how many Westerners make ignorant and racist "jokes" about Asians, especially these Idols. Idk how many times I've watched someone react to BTS and ignorant assume they were Chinese or Japanese instead of just Googling it. And yes a majority of the time it's oh look Black people making these assumptions. I still remember when this one reaction channel with these two black dudes reacted to BTS for the first time and openly said on camera "They probably eat dog" then had the audacity to laugh later on and Excuse it as a joke. So yes everyone is ignorant until they are no longer ignorant. So instead let's just educate as many people as possible because the world can only move forward if we educate the world.

@@QAmodb i agree and plus since i grew up in ms and went to a majority black school and had all black teachers I learned about jim crow and such even in elementary. N also having a great grandparent who worked for the white man i have heard the things they have done first hand. I dont expect the celebs in other countries to know stuff about the racism we faced but if they can know racist gestures and such they can know the simple background about it. N about tht education part i can agree we can educate dem about it but if they’re not willing to learn i think we can then bash dem n stuff. But thank you for the input on dis situation 🙃

It doesn’t matter if they learned about it or not. If you we can’t enjoy our own culture without being discriminated against then white and Asian people can’t either. It’s only seen as cool and fashionable when non black people wear it but we’re still seen as ghetto for it. The Crown act was JUST made in 2019, were not even gonna talk about how many people voted against it. At this point, y’all just want to be disrespectful. Y’all enjoy black culture but don’t want to listen to or respect black views

Also learning the history of black hair is different than just learning about black history….

European and north Americans can't go to some clubs in korea

@@estelaangeles2346 That what this person is saying ... " ... banned from from job opportunities, services, stores, restaurants, etc." If you're trying to compare our discrimination to others we do not care about that at the moment because thats not what this conversation is about. Stay on topic :)

"Anything else is just gaining a few liberal kudo points at best imo." So.... NOTHING should be shared if it isn't a complete and thorough deep dive into hundreds or thousands of years of history? That's idiotic.

@@toastysock What's idiotic is you having the audacity to respond to me with the infamous straw man fallacy. How embarrassing...

That's China that has banned blks from going in stores and all that. These girls are Korean, not all Asians are from China

@Trevon Womack this isn’t a competition, you delusional. They can do Asians Americans bc they relate more to them than Hispanics. Make your own video, if you feel threatened by Asians reacting to their history in the US.

@@kyitty period

@Trevon Womack you are delusional, there are many hate crimes against Asians being committed by blacks and even Latinos, but it doesn't fit with the typical "racist white men" talking points from the media

@Trevon Womack Obvious troll is obvious.

Neyo?? Also, Disco!

@@briannab4037 It was suppose to be spelled as Neo - Soul not Neyo lol. Yes Disco too

That’s so funny that people are mad as if Americans aren’t the absolute worst at geography😂

@@jerseygirl6221 Lol honestly i don’t even know all 50 states. Only the states i want to travel to

But the original creators who made the documentary are American. So I think they should know their states.

Did anyone else notice in the documentary map it had Virginia written on top of North Carolina? Were they even awake when they made that map? 😆

Obama white as hell he bombed africa a lot

ARMY HI

And also the Chinese Exclusion Act which banned Chinese people from immigrating to the US and/or becoming US citizens from 1882 until the repeal of the Act in 1942

This is important very important and fucked up but...why is this here? Ain't this about black people?

@@shayace5660 I think they’re just giving a recommendation for the next video they make

No one is denying the discrimination Asians face in America. Tbh every group of people except WASP (white, Anglo-Saxon & Protestant) males have been discriminated against in 🇺🇸. This includes Asians, Africans, Native Americans, Latinos, other whites considered lower class (Jews, Irish, Italians, Germans, Sweds, etc) & women of all races. Chinese were treated poorly during the building of the western railroads, Japanese were placed in internment camps during WW II. However, no race except Black Africans have endured 250+ years of slavery (1619-1865), plus another 100 years of government-sanctioned discrimination (1865-1965) in every area of life, lynchings, beatings, burning & mutilation of bodies, rapes, daily humiliations, bombing destruction of homes, land & businesses, & continued systematic covert & overt racism to this day.

some countries tend to only focus on their own history

well that’s because you are directly tied to it (you as in europe i mean), and east asia is just so far removed from that part of the world and it’s history they haven’t ever HAD to learn it

europe has more black people than asia, since there’s not a lot of black people living in asian countries, they dont know anything abt black culture. thats why we need black representations in any asian countries.

okay but do the westners learn about asian history? I don't think so bc most of them still think Asia only has China, India, Japan and now, Korea. Its gonna be impossible to learn everyone's history as every country will focus on their own history and the countries that were involved with their with war etc. The only thing everyone learns in common would be the World Wars and the Germans. In the country I live, I am not taught about my birth country's history since its not of the same importance to them, I didn't even know about how black people were treated in America until I came online. This is the only platform to find out about everything so its not "weird" its actually normal.

Frankly here in the west they don’t teach us much about Asian history. We only learn if we’re directly involved. Frankly, they didn’t teach me much about European history either except if America was directly involved 🤷🏽‍♀️ could have been just my school but I’ve talked about it to other people and they say the same thing so yeah…

They lit up Missouri when they were talking about Illinois as well

Then go under the original video and comment that

i was so confused too💀💀💀

That would still include black people because they were in America before the American Indians 🙄

@@wayneferrell160 Nope, those people weren't black, dark skinned but not African Americans

Excellent comment!

@appletheboom lol, super late but yeah

We’re not*

Same shit bruh

Bought and treated like shit. Not stolen, money make you sell ur own

Koreans only like white foreigners.
