@@purplerainbow1995 Why are you trolling the comments responding aggressively to people who want to make sure that when people talk about U.S. history they don't sugar coat slavery, racism, and discrimination? You sound big mad for no fucking reason.
@@elyssaduran I'm not trolling... I'm pointing out the obvious because it's clearly not obvious to ppl here that everyone in the world knows that discrimination isn't over bc it's American state of affairs, but you feel the need to educate the world again... When are Americans going to show a little humility about the fact that y'all know nearly nothing about much poorer, less liberated countries whose citizens are required to learn about American social issues, like BLM?? It's like a king's suffering servant throwing around his weight of royal servant and expecting average citizens to repeatedly understand that he suffers every day. Yeah everyone knows, it's clear, you're not bathing in riches... What do u want a peasant worse off than even you to do about it? Koreans aren't even allowed to make movies like the Help, or schindler's list, or roots... Do u know what that's even like? A little sensitivity and appreciation for KOREANS to make this redundant video for y'all is all I ask.
@@Carmeaning2Say Annnnnnnnnd it would be so awesome for them to know that the first slave trader was an African man (black) and the people he sold to were 100% democrat party liberals in the southern states. super fun times ! ! !
So glad they listened. The previous one seemed wayyy to one sided. Each country has their positives and negatives Lowkey wish they didn’t choose the help for the discrimination but a real life clip like Salem but it is what it is
Had the same thought. Would have been great to use real footage of the marches or something similar. I think they have some footage of when southern schools became integrated that is powerful.
04:21 - 04:33 black activism didn't start in the 60s, black people have not been treated humanly a lot of the time, then ether, YES racism still exists everywhere in the US and in Korea! in Korea, there is still a lot of discrimination based on skin color. not only for black people in Korea but also for darker skin Koreans.
Yeah this video made discrimination and human rights activism seem like a thing of the past and other minority groups were not even mentioned. But of course, this was just a video with a broad sweep of American history, so I can't really judge too harshly. It's so good that they listened to their viewers and made this video. I would love to see them react to the origins of such racial discrimination and maybe of what indigenous Americans had to go through as they're often left out in this telling of history.
I agree, I also feel like it just scrapes the surface of how severe it actually is. Though America has improved immensely it still sucks to really put in perspective just how much there still is....
Lmao true. I saw a 'Hello counselor' variety show episode where they think that guy who is tanned skin is 'FILIPINO' (damn, korea really has sides of ignorance to not know diversity even to their country and others) and went to the show to complain about it and assure it and at the end it was the lowest ranked vote of being 'important'. Out of 150 people. Only 25 voted that it was important. It's literally discrimination already at some points.
weird to think that they don’t think there is racial discrimination in Korea and that they think Black culture was only loved by the masses after the Civil Rights Movement(ex: jazz in the early 20th century). overall, though, glad they learned some things about the dark sides of the US.
It's probably because they never experienced racism themselves. I live in the U.S., and when I talk about the discrimination I experienced as an Asian here, my Korean friends always seem surprised.
@@vasudhacidambi8793 That's possible. For example, foreigners usually don't know about the discrimination inside Korea, even between Koreans. I think it's just the environment of the individuals in Korea. You and I are aware of this racial discrimination because we either experienced or witnessed it first-hand. But because Korea is still so homogenous, it's not something they know of or think about until it's brought up. Additionally, because most foreigners don't live amongst the Koreans who are being discriminated against in their own country, most people don't know about it. It's not something they learn in school and only see in the media. Unlike in other places such as the U.S., where we're all racially diverse, and there are many minority groups within the country, it's not like that in Korea. I just did a quick Google search, and more than 51 million people live in Korea, and about 1.3 million are foreigners. But I just want to conclude by saying that I know Koreans are fascinated and inspired by Black culture. Of course, some are ignorant of these issues, and some are just idiots and say the nastiest things. We know much more because we live amidst racial discrimination in action. But for them, it's probably not that vivid in their lives. I'm so sorry for responding with something too long, but I hope this helped! I'm only speaking from my experience and network, so I can't say this on behalf of the whole country and its people. But I'm definitely seeing more people interested in learning more, and I think those individual efforts will make waves in the future.
잘가 that makes sense and thank you for your reply. I guess I was confused because there are even TV shows such as Hello Counselor and My Neighbor, Charles(i think?) that go over racial discrimination in Korea by focusing on foreign residents of Korea. so, I thought that issues like anti-blackness, anti-Southeast Asian, and anti-Middle Eastern sentiments might be common knowledge, at least among the younger generations in Korea.
Its a different situation and different culture. Their racism in Korea isn't based in the same things that the racism in the US is. Its also doesnt manifest in the same way. There's hardly a way to compare the issues.
“I don’t know where the racism started from” “what is this discrimination for”. Honey let me set you down to review the last 400+ years of black oppression and get you up to date with rn bc we still be oppressed. We asked ourselves why are we experiencing this hate every single day
LOL are you forgetting the Civil Rights Act of 1964? 😂 Black Americans recently hit the record for the lowest unemployment rate EVER. They have more opportunity than ever before to achieve the American Dream. Miss me with the "still oppressed" silliness.
@@barbaro267 girl- pls stfu you don’t know what you’re talking about. “The American dream” don’t be throwing that phrase around if you don’t know the actual meaning behind it and how it was created
@@barbaro267 just because people are employed doesn't mean they're working a great job, making enough to live on and feed their family. long hours or not enough. little to no pay. no healthcare. people working 2 jobs just to barely get by. no savings. it's called the "dream" for a reason. and working doesn't make people magically unoppressed, the fuck ?
Like stating that the u.s. was the last country in north and south america to outlaw slavery or in the lates 60s it was still illegal in 20 states for people of different "races" to get married or how Japanese american citizens were unjustly thrown in internment camps in the 1940s.
@MakeCatsGreatAgain not when mass incarceration, the prison industrial system, police brutality and the effects of redlining still exist today. plus many more (workplace discrimination etc.).
@@feminine8766 Black Live Matter started before 2020. The movement just got more popularized after George Floyd’s death. It’s been around for quite some time though
I wish this covered more on the racism in the US and how its STILL ongoing. Discrimination against Black people stems from 400 years of brutal mistreatment, to say the least. It wasn't just segregation in the 60's and abolished in the 70's. Black people were brought to the US against their will, separated from their loved ones, treated like animals, only to be slaves to white people for hundreds of years. Though slavery was abolished, today, there is still discrimination against Black people because of the systems put in place when the United States was formed; it is engraved into our society. It is truly heartbreaking to know and study this history, but it is so important to know. I don't know about the curriculum in Korea, but even here in the US, these things are not covered in depth. I'm glad this channel read the comments for the previous video, but there is still so much that is glossed over. I hope that this doesn't come across as malicious. I am just really passionate about this sort of thing because as a Korean myself, I feel obligated to educate other Koreans where I can. There is enough disparity between Asian and Black communities and I wish to help bring some understanding to people of my race.
Black people don’t want your sympathy nor your tears. Just focus on deconstructing harmful beliefs among modern Koreans. Because discrimination and racism is very strong in Korea as well, also, the largest economic disparities in the U.S. are actually between Asian groups, not black ones.
@@marcomensi6390 I don't know about economic issues as I am talking about social ones. I mean in the instances in where let's say a Black person is racist towards me. I won't hold these things against the Black community because I know my race is guilty of the same and we just have to keep in mind that no progress will be done if we hold on to these things. I will not stop supporting you even if a Black person has happened to treat me negatively. I think that's the very least we can do as human beings and I do my best to inform people of their misconceptions where I can. I wish I could inform those in Korean as fluently as I can in English, but I was born and raised in the United States so my influence is quite limited. I am aware of and angered by the discrimination in Korea and if there's something I can do about it from all the way across the world, I will. I hope you get my point as I think we are on the same side. Just different ways of explaining our point of view.
@@minjimunji economic and social disparity are deeply intertwined. Racism, anti-blackness, and classism are deeply connected in America. We need to acknowledge that.
@@minjimunji Understand that the majority of us will understand your words and wonderful intentions. What the world needs is more awesome people like you! If every person could only be half as progressive and understanding as you are, the whole world would be a better place! -Peace and blessings to you for always!
Its disgusting. That racist holiday needs to go away. Black history is American history, by having "Black History Month", they're pandering to blacks to make them feel better, when in reality they're saying to only appreciate black culture for one month. We need to come together and stop separating ourselves.
When they said “The dark side” I thought they would talk about racism and what actually happened to black people not just give them a short broad clip but hey this is a start
This was good start on this but I think it could of been done a bit better but thank you for listening to us that other video was just not it. And slavery started way way way back
Every Korean and every single country in the world learns about the history of black slavery and American social issues. Please read that 10 times or until it clicks. The only reason they did this video is bc a bunch of Americans weren't aware of this reality that's existed for decades and decades. It's like a servant in a royal court blaming a peasant for being unaware of his difficult job. Like um, no they already know, what are they supposed to do, overthrow the king? Who doesn't know? Nobody.
@@FightingSportsMedia what makes the slavery of black ppl in america so prominent was because it was chattel slavery and we still face the consequences till this day from it in all aspects so don't try to compare this type of slavery to others its a slap in the face.
One of them asked what is the orgin of that kind of discrimination, you should have them watch a video about the slave trade, the civil war, the Jim Crow era, and then civil rights movement. In that order, and if you'd like to take it a step further many of our countries problems now stem from all of this. Maybe they'll understand why the capital riot happened this year. There's a lot of history involved.
wait wasn't the capitol riot trump supporters that were essentially questioning the validity of the votes counted? I am not american so forgive me but I didn't think that had anything to do with race, from my outsiders perspective but then again as im not american tbh i dont pay a lot of attention to american happenings
@@Auron710 The capitol invasion had nothing to do with race. It's just that some people are obsessed with being victims. Also, they like ignore that it was Africans selling other Africans as slaves to Arabs and Europeans.
@@Auron710 the riot wasn't about race no, but if one understands the climate of America, you might understand how so much of the population was fooled enough to have such a crazy alliegence to Trump. America has always been super polarized with about 2 sides. We all know most Trump supporters are basically the "confederacy" of 2020. We know what Make America Great Again means. Its all very reminiscent of that time in our history. Its why a lot of us feel we have made so much progress just for us to feel like we've gone back several decades.
@@Manic_Panic yes Africans sold Africans. It was sell or be sold. You really think if we said we're not going to sell you prisoners they would've just accepted that and moved on? And Africans didn't make us slaves. They didn't "free" us but then only consider us 3/5 of of human being. Africans didn't create Jim crow laws, or segregation. Africans didn't kill every leader we had who tried to lead us to a better life, that was literally the American government trying to keep a portion of their OWN population in ruins. We know our history and no we don't give a fuck who sold who considering what went on for centuries after the fact. If you can acknowledge that one little fact don't ignore the next 500 fucking years of history that occured. Yes 500. We were slaves for 400 years up until 1865, and guess what 100 years later we were still fighting for equality. Martin Luther King wasn't even made into a martyr yet thats how long its been. And we still have to worry about the same problems because it hasn't been 100% fixed yet.
Black culture being adopted in the 70's seemed like acceptance but quickly became a trend in North America. Black culture becomes commodified and turned into pop culture, which is evident even in Korean fashion and some of the music that K-pop groups put out nowadays.
I am so glad that not only did you react to the positives, but also the hardships that have gone on in the US. Many issues are still faced heavily today so they cannot be covered up
Much Respect for being a Channel that reads the comments!! (P.S if would’ve been nice if you had shown the LA riots and the war on drugs for the 80’s and 90’s)
Koreans react to feminism throughout history (if thats too broad maybe in the us) and history of racism and slavery in the us (since they dont seen to know about that)
Feminism is a big problem still in korea. Almost many of the population of girls in korea know feminism and not an total activist but a normal supporter anyways. And only guys don't see it (I saw a ASIAN BOSS about it, and out of 10 or 7 dudes don't know feminism only one) and the misogyny. Still a big thing but at least many in korea takes it seriously in many cases. But as of US, they can't even hear out Megan fox from sexually eyed only 15. When she said it in Jimmy Kimmel the guys only laughed and cheered with Jimmy, from that time i hated that host. Now they're failing Megan, she was even rejected on many the so called themselves feminist activist just because from an issue she wasn't heard out for. A charismatic character went to an downfall by one director. Michael Bay.
It would be cool if they could watch a video about black people In America and how slavery was in honour of Black History month. Also they can see how deep racism is in America and how it still affects us today.
I love the fact that you actually read and listen to your comments but I would love for them to actually react to a video that shows the history of what black people have been through in America
Great video. Wish they would've showed when they sprayed fire hoses and had dogs attack Black people instead of a clip from a movie. Makes it real showing real people.
EXACTLY! that's what I was hoping to see. Honestly, korea has been "borrowing" from black culture from as early as the 1940s. Its about time they, as a whole country, learn about black history.
I'd be curious to see how they react to the Vietnam War protests in America, like the Kent State shootings and the governments response to the protests.
when jaeyeol was talking about the massive spike in technology, he said it leads to the question "did you catch up with it or not", and i think this paints a realistic picture of wealth worldwide. most people will never catch up with it, and that's our biggest problem. very interesting
Thank you so much, a lot of us asked for this and I’m sure we all greatly appreciate that you took the time to listen to our requests. Content legends !!!!
The civil rights movement helped not only black minorities it also helped other minorities too like Hispanics , Asians basically anyone that isn't white European back then during that time and now
I am black not from America obviously I know a lot about colonization of my country and other neighbor countries because of history books in the school not a lot about slave trade I read it by myself not school curriculum , every country has their own story to tell.
they don't know it all started with one black african man, selling off tribes in the east coast of africa........... pretty sad isnt it ???????????????????
As a Korean, We learn about slave of black people but don't know about slave trad, because there were no slaves black people and slave trade in Korea, I guess.
I’m so happy they listened to the comments on the last video and didn’t just turn the comments off 🥲😭 I know this channel isn’t meant to be an “educational” channel but these are still very lovely. Of course in the future they can react to other poc in America or even in Korea and their discrimination issues and history. Or mainly learn about Korean Americans/historical figures and their history! That would be so fun~ This is probably one of the best Korean reaction channels and my absolute favorite lol I appreciate everyone including the reactors 😭🥰
Omg yes. I just watched that yesterday and was thinking that they should have shown what was really going on in the 60's. I'm glad they did this video! 👏🏾
I don’t wanna generalize and say all Koreans are like this but they’re questioning like why racism is a thing when so many Koreans don’t like black people either and we’re treated differently in Korea as well so it’s kinda upsetting because not only is it a huge problem in the US, it’s a problem in many parts of Korea as well and I know this from personal experience and I’m not writing this trying to say the reactors here are like that, I just don’t want them to be like, naive about it and stuff
I think it is not true that many Korean don't like black people. Actually, Korean like black people because of singers, rap culture, sports stars,etc. It is also a kind of prejudices, of course.
@@yietyfromspace675 Maybe I didn’t word it right but I’ve experienced a lot of racism and so have many of my other black friends while in Korea so yes it is a thing that happens
@@yietyfromspace675 just because they think we’re good at singing and rapping doesn’t mean they’re going to treat us right there’s stories of black people being discriminated in Korea because of the color of they’re skin yes some may have good experience and some have not but let’s be real we know that there are racist Koreans
Please dont forget how us Hispanic,other race,/worked in poor/hard conditions in order to GIVE the rich and middle class fruits and vegetables to the grocery store. We had a movement too!! It hurts people not really recognize OTHER races had as bad problems too! More than anything we still suffer racism to the day. But I know there is ALOT of other stuff we had that is too much to explain quickly I completely understand! . When I learned how much my family suffered to live the American dream it really changed me
I thought for the 2000's they were gonna show 9/11, in school we always had to watch homemade videos people recorded of people jumping from the towers/watching people run from the buildings collapse
Its nice there's RU-vid channels like these that gives insight on history in not just their respective country but one of the major histories in America and the world.
and what they saw wasnt even as bad as it was and they were still shocked, they should do a video of immagration from central and south america since its also a big problem of how mad we get treated and life is
In the 1960s it was not just a Black Movement but a Civil Rights Movement. African Americans were primarily affected by racial discrimination, racial segregation and racial disenfranchisement, however other minorities also faced the same discrimination during that time. The Civil Rights movement helped open doors for all people to have better opportunities in life. It is rarely shown how other minorities were also treated in the US then and now. It would be good to show actual footage from that time, such as these videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NMmXh_j9FmU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jAWtnBPqX-A.html
They do actually listen to their audience, are willing to improve their content, and better educate themselves. Some didn’t seem to completely understand the 60s, but I hope there’s a continuous effort to do the research. Appreciated the video!
@@Pyramanager Didn't say it wasn't world wide, but the subject of the video is "both sides of the U.S." so it seemed note worthy. We're also coming out of some dark times politically, but hopefully with our new president, things will change for the better.
@@BudhagRizzo Politically it was only Dark because the left has been constantly violent for the past 5 years. New president wont stop them as seen in riots during bidens innaguration. And Biden has back pedaled on literally every campaign promise. But thatss no surprise. Hes a known liar hence why he lost running for presidency twice before. Also weve lost thousands of jobs cuz of his executive orders
My Tio (My Uncle) who is no longer with us, he served in the United States Air Force. And he served in the Vietnam War from flying planes, to even saving Vietnam refugees who wanted to escape and in need of rescue. And during that same time, my Dad told me that my grandma passed away so my Tio (my uncle) didn’t make it to the funeral because he was over seas. May both of their souls rest in peace. When it got to the 2000’s I thought they were going to show what happened on 9/11 and then the whole war in the Middle East. Anyways, this video is very amazing! Thank you for showing History like this!
It was def the veiled, light hearted version, of how black people have been treated in America. Its a start. But thankful that you read the comments and cared to take our thoughts and suggestions and create something to spread awareness!
@@cupidsbow4355 I’m pretty sure police brutality can happen to anyone and I’m I don’t think there is any racist laws in the system, might be laws about class but what laws are about race
It's only 11 and a half minutes guys. It's only so much history that is able to be absorbed, explained, and shown through film at one time. Small steps.
I'd be interested to see something related to LGBTQ+ discrimination on this channel! I know Koreans have mixed feelings about it, so I'm excited to see how normal Koreans think.
"what is the origin of this discrimination?" damn that's a loaded question, but to summarize it here's what I got: europeans tried to colonize america but couldn't because they didn't know how to... ya'know, colonize, and they were too lazy to figure it out by themselves. they captured and enslaved the natives first, then this spanish dude I can't remember the name of said "slavery of the natives is bad, so go capture the africans instead" and that's what they did. slavery included cannibalism, castration, yanking out slaves' teeth for dentures, and a lot of other things I can't bring myself to explain. they excused it from being a sin because in their minds if they equated us to being animals then by definition we were. eventually abraham lincoln freed the slaves but he didn't do it because he actually liked the slaves (he hated them like everyone else). so us african americans have been fighting for our rights for around 500 years, and even now we still don't have them all.
Omg, you guys actually read comments and listen to your viewers? 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Not only do you provide quality content but listen to suggestions and feedback, I commend you!
My father is not a US citizen, he’s a permanent resident but a british citizen. However that meant they could still get him with the draft and they did. His number got called for Vietnam and he had to fled back to England to avoid the draft. While he had hippy friends who now claim to be marines when they fled to Canada!
There's a video somewhere on how Eartha Kitt was invited by the first lady of United States back then to visit the White House and in the middle of the interview, with all jornalists watching, she asked bluntly: until when are you guys going to send our children to die in that war? (Vietnam) She then was taken out and the first lady was speechless, brave queen
I think we forget how in the 1960s civil rights era was a bright side. It would have been great to see our civil rights leaders and the togetherness that we brought. As well in music
Thank you for listening! We really appreciate it. I know that everything on this channel shouldn't be super serious content, but I still hope you guys consider reacting to a more in depth Black History in the US video. Does anybody in the comments know of any good videos for this? Let's help them out.
Wow, this is a very perceptive video. I wish more of us could see this in the U.S. We often fall into the trap of thinking that the "old times" in the past were some kind of golden age, but the U.S. has always had problems of racial discrimination, wealth inequality, poverty and harsh working conditions. In fact, our whole history is a story of working to solve all of those problems, and we are not nearly finished yet. I think it's good for young people around the world to see our struggles as well as our successes.
