1970 Middle-Class Blacks Were Rejected By Blacks & Whites

Why do some people hate it when you find success?

I love how this video showed the reality of prejudice and bias. I am black and I did very well in school growing up in the inner-city in Chicago in the early 80s and now an executive at a major bank. I was teased in my neighborhood for “acting white” and then experienced various forms of prejudice and discrimination outside of the “hood”. It was all very tiring and discouraging.

The crabs are still trying to pull each other down the bucket to this very day. Its been 50 years and nothing's changed.

This is still sad today. 😢

Same shit, different century.

I’m so glad both of my grandfathers didn’t fall for none of that BS! They bought beautiful houses in the Chicago suburbs. My parents were high school sweethearts, then I was their first child and grandchild in the family that experienced a pleasant privileged childhood. I learned lessons from my 4 grandparents… that I teach my own children so they can be properly raised and educated. Be respectful, earn your keep, work hard, go to trade school or college, save your money and be humble. 💯💙

The TV show Them (season 1) on Amazon Prime is a great show about the beginning of desegregation. Haunting. No amount of money shields you from racism.

Damn if you damn if you don't😢

I remember those days when my parents left the hood. Moving into a new house among the majority and then they moved out. Lol😢

50 years later it's the same arguments
