The STRANGE CASE of George and Willie Muse 

I have always been creeped out by circuses, even as a very small child & have never been to one.

@@tamararutland-mills9530 it is mostly the clowns for me, and I feel very sorry for the animals

As a kid I was fascinated by them, but inside something didn't sit right with me, and kind of sadness I couldn't explain would fill me when I was at a circus. I think it's the empathic sensitive part of my soul, I'm especially sensitive to all things animal related, even in fictional stories. I'm in my 40s now, and I still have difficulties watching scenes in FICTIONAL films where devastating circumstances occur to animal. Or if I'm reading a bin, & an animal character within it's pages are hurt or killed. I mean I will UGLY CRY, like deep gasps for air, huge streams of tears pouring down my face, snotting, crying! And sometimes, I'll be so disturbed-- depending on the story, by it for days, sometimes even longer. I think some of my life circumstances made me more sensitive at a young age, especially having a severely disabled baby brother born when I was 3. I was always very protective of the handicapped, elderly, babies children & , and of course animals. Anyone who was vulnerable. I'm glad for the most part the only circuses still around, are completely by voluntary participation of the performers. I'm okay with todays "freak show circuses" that people with unique abilities, excessive body modifications, sword/fire/jugglers/ contortionists/ trapeeze/tightrope/motorcycle stunt drivers/suspension (piercings) performers/ etc. I use to unicycle and learn all kinds of performance circus type things like contact juggling. I joked that joining the circus was my fall back plan if i couldn't find work looking as I do. Trigger warning if your grossed out about extreme piercings: I actually participated in an energy pull at a suspension performance/party put on at a friend's house that was a tattoo artist/piercer. I had 2 8 gauge hooks pierced between my shoulder blades and was hooked up to chords and a metal circle connected to 3 other women with the same exact piercings done too. We pulled against one another. Standing like Michael Jackson in Smooth Criminal video but held by piercings in the back. Lol. I know it sounds insane, and I never Imagined I would try it. But after watching suspensions of people hanging from hooks and swinging from the ceiling I was filled with adrenaline from it. You had to be sober to participate, and it wasn't really painful, there was also no blood. I got a spiritual buzz off of it for about 3 days. Sorry for the tangent. I just felt like sharing.

@@cw4608 Me too, clowns scared me.

Horrible as they were they was still the product of their time. No matter how cruel or you can't judge times past with the future feelings.

How do you know it's true !!!

@@jameslatimer1432 All it takes is a little research on your part. One google search would have answered your question. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truevine

@@BitcoinPitbull how do you even ask that

@@tanyastamant really

Thankfully, they were given bodily autonomy, and not considered property, especially since they were black, at that shameful time in history. I'm so glad that the right thing was done(eventually) with these young men. As a mother, I have no idea how she dealt with the theft of her children, and she never gave up hope!

...not sure if it's really a happy ending though eh.

@@ChantelStays no but it could have been so much worse

​@@ChantelStays "Happy" ending.

I believe Mr. Willie was over 100, he live across from my aunt.

@@mikematerne4579 Wow!

And the people who paid to see such rubbish!!

Yes@

Absolutely right

yes, those African, islamic kangz, raided other tribes and sold them off. if we nuked africa we would eradicated a part of the slave trade

Agreed

True definition of a mother

How sweet are you saying "spoilers"? Sometimes I read comments as I'm watching the video. Thank you for being thoughtful. You are the kind of person we need more of in the world. I'm not kidding. You are awesome and you made me smile. What a great story too. Take care and keep being sweet. 😊

@Yasuke, dear friend thanks for that, it really made me smile 😃 And you're even sweeter in leaving that very kind comment, we really need more of your lovely type too! It's just that I wait until a video has almost finished to have a look at the comments because otherwise it just spoils it and yes a little bit of etiquette, consideration for others is something we could all do with (we're all part of a big family here on Earth.) Anyway, to have it appreciated is even finer! Thank you very much. 😊👍

I agree, but people choose this now themselves, like for the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. But this is awful and basically using them as a freak show and holding them against their will . Seems incredibly awful and so sad.. this was a sick time in history..but are we much better now really? A bit, but these awful things still happen just more hidden

Agreed…inclusive of wild animals.

@@kerryberman609 I totally agree with that

If a person chooses to do it, then so be it with choice.

@@kerryberman609 I think zoo's are great and I'm actually going to another one this weekend. Animals in a zoo are fine. They're not exposed to a harsh environment of disease or terrible death. If their were no zoo's, nearly all people would not get the experience of seeing such beautiful animals. Not everyone has the ability or means to travel the globe to see such creatures. Now, mistreatment of captive animals is not something I support. Even wild animals are mistreated all of the time as well though.

I couldn't have said it better myself

Me, too. I cried at the "freak shows"! I'm so glad that there is no such thing these days!

They really are disgusting especially back in those days I couldn’t even imagine

@@mytwocents848 ..how could he have these poor little people under a tent for people to walk by and stare at them. When I was a kid I went in to see a lady and her feet were shaped like crab legs (?) it was so long ago but I do remember looking at her once and left. My heart really went out to her, If you search RU-vid you will find some really sad stories about the freak shows. 😢

@@mytwocents848 unfortunately that was the only way some people with major medical abnormalities could make a living and sometimes a very good living. I can’t imagine living your life on display. 😔

Yeah me too hate circuses awful but they don't use animals and vulnerable people. WELL I think so🤔

*I thought that RoaNoke, went MiSSing!!!!*

You really like their voices don’t you

@@Elvinexiled indeed. I also like Morgan Freeman’s but who doesn’t? Lol

Looking human doesn't make you human!

@@cryptoholica72 first of all am not a man .. And secondly don’t tell me what my feelings are …I find exploitation in any form disgusting ..clearly you don’t b

As a white man, how can people be so vile.

I Got an Honest Question & NO!!! I'm NOT Trying to be a SMART Ass!!! IS it the TRUTH that OnLy (many) *Voters for TRUMP*, are the ONES who BeLieve that the *WorLd is FLat* & that the *Universe* was *Created ExactLy 6,000 years ago* ??? Justin Martyr.

As a white person, ditto. No race, creed or culture has greater rights than any other. We are all fully human.

would you describe the juxtaposition as a stark contrast, of black and white even? because of them truly being quite white and black?

⚘..good for you angel.., you clearly have a good heart ❤!

@@fdddsigns7274 Very good question.

If the Muses brother story ever becomes a movie, I hope that they will do a good job on making it, I'll buy a ticket.

Check your white privilege you have no right to make comments about these people and their hardships later racist

Now it's called Human trafficking.

*Heyyyy, I'm Hard UP & I've Never had a DATE!!!* 🔥🔥🔥 *P.S. I am 7 4 !!! Wut are MY ProsPects???* *ShouLd I Keep Trying or just GIVE IT UP????*

@@Justin.Martyr Dating is overrated , n I'm probably the last person you should be asking for advice on this, but my personal opinion is do whatever you feel is right n whatever makes you happy!😁✌

Ah you shouldnt call people crazy it's not right

@@BenJamin-pd4mp I guess I worded that wrong, I was meaning it in a good way.

Omg your so morally superior to all of us you should get a trophy

Just ignore the crappy comment. You are a glowing lady and I would of felt the same seeing that. Sending you Peace love and prosperity ✨

@@BringJoy2HealOurEarth ok racist crappy really only racists use words like crappy I bet you served with the wehrmacht at some point in your life

@@BringJoy2HealOurEarth thank you

*My Birth Beeitch, was NOTHING Like that!!! North Miami!!!!*

Fascinating?? That's DEFINITELY not fascinating! What's so fascinating about any of that besides the brothers were somewhat able to reunite with their mother. They were still 'owned' by that horrible man in one way or another..Sooo..yeah..this story is anything but fascinating!! It's sickening and rather disgusting that the 2 brothers and their mother were lied to, and basically kidnapped for the greed of one horrible man!!

The mother had to fight to get her sons back!! what story were you cause the stormy😣😣

Imagine if they had been schooled. Wow. Probably geniuses

Toni...if that's really you in your avatar, I must say you are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...sure would like to have contact with you!!!

@@eunicestone838 I'll agree with that sentiment, but there are many situations in which hands on experience/training trumps textbook learning.

Now it's called Human trafficking.

I've never been due to how animals are mistreated as well. Thankfully things have changed but I would still never go.

Evil humans who are proud to be evil, yet pretend to be good

AMEN and well said! 🕯🙏🕊

As usual,THE WHITE MAN ONCE AGAIN EXPLOITED,ENSLAVED,MINIPULAT ED,AND MIND FUCKED MORE OF MY PEOPLE!!

@@pamelameckley5040 thank you

@@thetimetraveller6550 You're very welcome. I would so much like to see the end of people exploiting one another in such cruel manners. We reap what we sow. I want to be that one person that was kind, the one that smiles and makes someone feel more accepted and welcomed. I've always felt that way, even as a child. It's always a good day when I come across someone who I feel is a kindred spirit.

I also knew an albino girl... she was latina though and her name was Candle 💝 she had super pretty purple eyes paired with her white hair was absolutely stunning!

@@geminisabah oh wow she sounds absolutely ethereal

Now it's called Human trafficking.

Yes their is a charity that helps these poor people in Tanzania where people donate money for T shirts, hats, glasses and sun factor, because they die young of skin cancer.

Those were hard times were people did hard labour from a young age, we have it so much easier today. You really need to look up some history mate

@@sheilahales4313 history and genetics are two completely different things.

Hi Damarys!

@@bettyjames4155.. Good morning, Ms. Betty..🌻😊💖

They still do well at "freak shows" in CA, they just work for themselves now. It's not a crime to use your body as capital, it's how you do it in the US that matters.

Slavery, discrimination, and exploitation have always been a part of humanity. To ignore history and only think of more recent and publicized events is to ignore that we have always sucked and it's going to take a lot more to change behavior. And by more recent I mean at least the 1700s.

Ah its person of color racist

Now it's called Human trafficking.
