The KKK vs. the Crips vs. Memphis City Council (Part 2/4) 

it may be history but it should in no way be glorified

"There may have been some lynchings" No shit. Not sure that this guy is totally unbiased

peace blunts are fine with me

Id love to watch a kkk vs crip gang battle lol

"don't give them an audience" probably the best quote in the whole series.

4:12 So the Klan began as a Scooby Doo plot?

and this is all to do with the pigmentation of a persons skin. Fools.

i love when he says "dont give the klan or the crips an audience" that was deep haha

"Blacks are scared of ghosts more than other people" yeah bud not selling it🤣

As a Dyslexic I love watching things about the Klu Klux Klan, Makes me feel like Steven Hawking.

the klan vs the crips; this needs to be made into an epic rap battle

Its weird the guy dressed up as General Grant has the most sense out of all of this

This Crips vs. KKK thing reminds me of NCR vs. Legion rallying for the Battle of Hoover Damn.

This is the kind of stuff I like to see from Vice. Keep it up.

"Generally speaking, blacks are more scared of ghosts than other people" .... Wat.

"dont confuse me with the truth, ive got my mind made up" best quote ive heard in a while

They should just put up a statue of that Grant reenactor instead

Thank god I ended up living here in Canada.

Watching it in pieces actually gives the viewer time to reflect and make his mind up before watching the next episode, its actually quite nice, but i dont know if vice intended this lol

Well, why not just build a statue of Martin Luther King, Jr. and have him next to Mr. Forrest. King was a peaceful man and would want to subdue his enemies with kindness. I could see him trying to reason with Forrest. Plus it would be such a beautiful troll to all parties.

It isn't about erasing bad history. It's about not embracing bad history. History belongs in 2 places schools and museums .

I need part 3 and 4 now !!! Very interesting story !! Thanks to the people at vice for all the amazing stories

i actually love vice, they document the most extreme things

"there may have been some lynchings then." FOH

those who forget history are doomed to repeat it

"I will be here on my deck looking at my ducks on the lake" That man is a smooth talking badass.

I am black. I agree that you cant erase history, but you cant move on if you're constantly reminded of past trauma. lands & people have changed. history is to be taught in school due to the fact that it is past. all cultures have one! in America, blacks have suffered the worst treatment. racism has existed & will exist until hate deceases. it will exist as long as there is sin. to display hate & will to destroy a race is terroristic. is that legal? knowing they can do anything at any time? you can voice an opinion without dressing up in ski masks. they are raging for war. they want to see drama. they want chaos & hostility. its kept in the south, because in other areas, whites would go against them as well. the south is a prejudice place to live! This is the reason why & it also shows how racism is definitely not dead. Mom said kill them with kindness & ignore them. Then watch the results!!!

Incredible reporting, thanks Vice for runnin' a story that would've otherwise gone unreported by the lame stream media, part 3 asap please

thank you vice. love your guys' work

that radio host reminded me of 3 dogg.

Hey Ulysses, you hung your American flag backwards. Stars in the top left at all times bruh.

i like this reporter. he seems sincere.

Mexicans got out back if the kkk really do try something to all of us.

I could care less how it started and what was the fight against. All I care about is what it evolved into. A lot of hate and bullshyt.

I love the flag Grant has in his home. I have high respect for him

Changing the name isn't erasing history, it's just being more diverse and aware and saying hey maybe naming a park after a racist isn't a very good idea

The cosplay guy is awesome :D

We're still so far away from being a mature society. I hope I see it in my life time.

I liked that chilled out General Grant impersonator.

I'm not a racist. But we cannot erase history and/or try to change it to something it wasn't, we need to learn the history and educate ourselves so that we won't make the same mistakes as the people before us.

He explained how the KKK members at the time where thought, sort of.

I wish there was a place we could have a rational online discussion because your ability to capitalize big words making your points seem indisputably correct

This situation is humorous. I am honestly surprised that such an event would take place in my hometown. But whatever. *claps slowly* Good job guys we're actually progressing in harmony as a human race.

I wonder how many people in the comments section actually came to watch the video or just spread their blind hate-speeches.

vice is the best hands down.i hope the go tv soon

We have to get our health together and their minds together young Brothers we got to be strong

That last line tho... so true.

I love those Memphis morning radio shows man, haha.

I absolutely lost my shit when Ulysses S. Grant opened the door!!!

Shouts out grape skreet 🍇♿️

MAN! My boy US Grant was in here.

Generally speaking blacks are more scared of ghost than other people 😂

Lucius Vanini So let me get this straight, you make racial remarks towards Mexicans, blacks, and I feel you have a general dislike towards gays, but what about the Asians? We don't get the hate that we so much deserve from such a wisdom-filled man as yourself, what are your thoughts on Asians?

NO when you get rid of our history of OUR scars then they become complacent and forgetful of our struggle which spits in the face of our ancestors who suffered so that we may never forget where we came from

If your going to light a cross and represent jesus christ you need to drop the hate plain and simple , Jesus came to seek and save the lost for all people no matter their race .

Hello, good morning What Would Jesus Do? May God bless everyone reading this message. If you want to live holy and be holy then Jesus is right for you. All he asks is that you talk to him each day. Jesus does not take he is always there when you need him and want him. He forgives seven times seven hundred and seventy times a day. That is a lot ! Our fathers prayer is one of the best prayers to start out with. Thankyou for reading this message may God bless you.

Where is General Butt Naked when you need him?

thank god i live in Canada and not in this stupidity

I don’t think they should destroy statue’s, I think they should move them to a proper place. Maybe make a park or museum, so people can still see them and learn from our history.

The PAST is HISTORY and you can't change it!

7:18 OH GOD LOL!!

Y’all interviewing the crips was a waste of time they ain’t even show up

Always interesting to learn something new about languages. Thanks (or Danke!) Being British, it always amuses me that many English people go on about the Germans but don't realise it's one of the major roots of their language. And as I'm Welsh, it also amuses me to point out that the Celts were from Austria originally.

Fuq da kkk

Lmao blacks scared of ghost best line ever

hahaha intro gave me los santos vibes gta 5 intro

Respectfully acting General Grant, your advice is greatly appreciated.

You can't fight racism with more racism..

Change produces controversy, that got me. Lesson learned

If you don't learn from the mistakes of yesterday, you are doomed to repeat them tomorrow. Leave the park alone as a reminder of what "history" was, and what the future may bring. You can't change the past, but you CAN influence the future.

the guy at the end is amazing!! hes jst going to sit on his deck feed his ducks.. lol pretty dope

He's dressed like walker Texas ranger lmao

*Circus music starts playing*

Yeah, the Saxons came from Lower Saxony, which is a federal state of Germany today. In their dialect of German language of that time f.e. "open the door" ("Öffne die Tür" in modern German) was something like "oparn de döar", which is obviously closer to modern English than to modern German.

I liked Dr. E. C. He spoke wisely and calm.

I'm from California and I thought I knew how bad racism was in the south. I still don't know. And so what if he's not the "founder", he still played a significant role in the clan yes?

Ok am.i the only one that started laughing at the 7:19 mark?

That guy at the end seems pretty normal apart from his dress lol

some lynching? some terrorist activity? no how about wide spread lynching and terrorist activity.

Why is Vice so brave? They even interviewed MULTIPLE CANNIBALS!

That's a surprisingly sane answer from a man living in his own museum.

You didn't use the same parameters when you compared different groups. You compared the number of all blacks who killed whites to the number of a small group of whites that killed blacks. That's not how you present statistics.

I dont know wether to dislike because this is up right wrong. or like because i believe that knowing this is important to everyone.

4:11 "Generally speaking Blacks are more scared of ghost, than other people". The fact that he says that, and honestly believes it is concerning, no factual evidence, just an irrational generalization. Incredible.

true. It was named after him due to his ridiculously amazing military feats. History is history, you can choose to admire and learn from it, or you can hide from it in denial or whatever other excuse you wish to give.

"Blacks are more scared of ghost than other people" I can confirm this. I was washing my hands and fixing my hair in the bathroom at work one day about to leave work at 11 p.m and this black guy came in didn't even look at me and went straight to pee. I thought this was weird. I kept on fixing my hair and looking at the mirror in silence. He suddenly said "Damn you scared me. I thought you were a ghost." Shit was hilarious.

Anyone notice that "Ulysses S Grant" has his American flag displayed incorrectly? How disrespectful

You know who’s better than general Forrest ? Ulysses S. Grant

In the 21st Century looking like he’s in the 19th Century.

All the proponents for keeping the statue (except the kKk) were logical and well spoken. They were clear and persuasive in why the name of the park should not be changed. Those who wanted the park changed just kept complaining 'we have been hated against for decades..........'. Their argument is illogical and invalid.

the first vice video i've seen where the reporter is not high

I love how the opening song is Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder) by Maxwell lol.....

Malcolm Fraser, ironically enough, was talking about the genocide of Indigenous Australians.

There are more views in part II than there are of part I

Here in Brazil we have a certain amount of racism, but the most easy thing to find it's interracial couples. This mix of different ethnicity is pointed for a lot of sociologists as one of the greatest characteristics of Brazil. In USA the civil war past just make the racism way more inflexible.

did anyone else notice the little statue of the black person on one of "Grant's" shelves while he was holding the pistol?

The first Klan was founded in Pulaski, Tennessee, on December 24, 1865, by six former officers of the Confederate army: Frank McCord, Richard Reed, John Lester, John Kennedy, J. Calvin Jones and James Crowe.

Socratic method (when is Athens): Can the msm describe the KKK? K3 the same thing as 3K?

Bull the Klan was always the same

Hate isn't heritage.
