Correction at 7:23: Cynthia's ancestors lived in Wilmington, not her descendants.
In November 1898, in Wilmington, North Carolina, a mob of 2,000 white men expelled black and white political leaders, destroyed the property of the city’s black residents, and killed dozens--if not hundreds--of people. How did such a turn of events change the course of the city? For decades, the story of this violence was buried, while the perpetrators were cast as heroes. Yet its impacts resonate across the state to this day.
In the new Vox series Missing Chapter, Vox Senior Producer Ranjani Chakraborty revisits underreported and often overlooked moments from the past to give context to the present. Join her as she covers the histories that are often left out of our textbooks. Our first season tackles stories of racial injustice, political conflicts, even the hidden history of US medical experimentation.

@nuclear5641 5 лет назад

7:20: "Cynthia Brown, whose descendants were in Wilmington back in 1898..." I think you meant to say "ancestors" in the place of "descendants." Cynthia Brown is a descendant of the people who were in Wilmington in 1898. Those people themselves were her ancestors.

Oh yeah. You should look into the 'constitutional sheriff' movement. They believe the sheriff is a higher authority than the federal government and have been electing their own into various regions. Several counties out west have essentially become no-go zones for federal officials today. And not that long ago a small (luckily incompetent) group tried to violently overthrow the government of West Virginia. They attacked the capital, but it was only a few people so they were easily subdued. But this idea of violently overthrowing your local government is baked into right wing DNA in the US and is talked about quite a bit.

What slowed it down the most was the intentional breakdown of the family by the interjection of welfare and feminism into the black communities.

@Faithless Hound yep, almost every nation has some version of this. Japanese people don't properly learn about WW2 until either high school or college level depending on their high school textbooks, at least partly because a Japanese right-wing group is trying to push revisionism through some of those textbooks. This, combined with tensions with North Korea spilling over as racial tensions against Koreans in general, makes it very tough for South Korea and Japan to get along despite their cultural similarities and what they stand to gain from unity. This also harms relations to some degree with Taiwan, as while the hatred isn't quite as strong, there's uneasiness with the idea of Japan having military independence from the United States. To be fair, the Chinese and North Korean governments would NOT be okay with South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan getting along and likely do what they can to interfere, as they all have extremely developed economies and strong military drives: South Korea has a relatively nationalistic populace (I'd know, my mom is one and can be a bit fanatical) and mandatory military service to deal with North Korea, Taiwan has the ever-present threat and influence of China to keep them alert, and so much of ancient Japanese culture revolves around the military, whether it be Shogunates, the samurai subculture, or even Western-style colonialism in the 1800's that it'd be all too easy for a party to make a historical push. If they all got along as economic and, most importantly, *military* allies, that could be an Asian NATO, and that'd be real bad for China and North Korea.

@Eric Gregory Confederate monuments is Confederate history, so they should not have monuments honoring them on American soil.

@arpthirteen6713 3 года назад

@Eric Gregory No, they were traitors who were treated better than blacks even after they lost. Then they had the audacity to put up monuments honoring their racist leaders. No taxpayer money, especially blacks should have to pay for such disrespect. And please don't call them American because they weren't, they chose to be the Confederates, with their own legislative body and president. No honor or glory should be given to them, just like none is given to Benedict Arnold.

This is why you should never follow a political party blindly.

@NWinnVR 5 лет назад

I would argue that is why you should never follow a political party _period._ Why do you need a group to tell you what you believe and stand for? Even in the case of voting I believe it should _always_ come down to each candidates individual policy and ideas. It's just a barbaric extension of tribalism, and needs to end. *_Edit:_*_ Grammar, used "an" when "a" was needed._

@coleball6001 5 лет назад

NWinnStudio do you know how a political party is formed? Say that you are a poor factory worker, you live near other poor factory workers, you want to improve your friends and family’s lot in life. So you support things that you believe would improve it like trade unionism or economic welfare, you start speaking your mind at community gatherings, your neighbors agree with you, they then do things to influence the government like protests, rallies, and election of friendly officials, you experience some push back by opponents of your ideas so you maintain the group to protect policies influenced by your ideas. That is the reason why political parties are formed not to control the populace but to organize supporters of ideas.

@addisonwelsh 5 лет назад

Cole Ball The problem is that people tend to just blindly vote with their party instead of doing their own research on what each candidate stands for. Not saying parties aren't a good thing, just saying that it can be dangerous when people get lazy.

I grew up there and was never taught this. Not all that shocking. We as Americans happen to be some of the most propagandized people on the planet as much as we like to point the finger at our adversaries for doing the same. This is comparable to how many people are *just* now learning about the Tulsa massacre however. Something else that I was never taught in school but my family would bring up. And because school never taught it (hid it by omission basically) I began to question at one point whether my family and other Black elders were either making it up or exaggerating details of it 🤦🏾‍♂️. Nothing to be ashamed of though. History is written by the victors. The incredibly whitewashed legacy of MLK is another prime example of that. It's important that the info is coming out though.

@Second Amendment How about the Scandinavian countries that properly implemented socialism in their system? They have the highest gdp/capita in he world, some of the highest life expectancy and education. They are the top countries in the world in the human development index ranking and survey finds that they are also happiest in the world. EQUALLY PROSPERITY. Don't just look into the worst countries that barely implement socialism policies but claim to be socialists and use that as a judging standard. There's plenty of democracies like India and phillipines that are filled with corruption and human rights abuses. Majority of their population is living in poverty, but we don't use these countries as the standards of Democracy.
