Official Trailer | The Loving Generation | Topic

In 1967, the Supreme Court decision Loving v. Virginia overturned all laws outlawing interracial marriage. The Loving Generation tells the story of a generation of Americans born to one black parent and one white parent. Their narratives provide a fascinating and unique window into the borderland between “blackness” and “whiteness”, and, in some cases, explode fixed ideas about race and identity.

Very good docu-series. Loved all the people up there. Keep sharing your stories

I'm descendant of Native Americans, that were here first, slaughtered for their lands, and still disrespected.

"The White person who kidnapped you..." If you are part White then how do you even know if your white descendants were in any way connected to slavery unless you actually found the individual historical circumstances of everyone involved? Do you realise how few white descendants in this country have anything to do with slavery at all? I can't remember the exact statistics but first of all at least 50% of whites had ancestors that came to this country *after* slavery was done. Less than 1% (maybe 5%??) of whites back then even had slaves. Most whites were too poor. Less than 5% of white people today have ancestors who had slaves. My problem is that this guy is making this blanket statement about "The White person who kidnapped you" in referring to being part white. The likelihood of that being possible with each person is small. In addition none of us now are slaves or slave owners. For how long are certain people going to keep blaming white people, who never had a thing to do with slavery in their lives, who were born well after slavery? How long? How many more generations do you want? How many more generations do you want to keep hating?
And what about the black Africans who kidnapped other Africans to be sold into slavery back then? What about Africans who are being kidnapped now for slavery by Muslims? They need our help more than you need help right now.
I used to feel incredible "white guilt", even though I did nothing wrong. Being white was enough. Well, I'm over it. I'm done. I already treat everyone like human beings. Why not you? Stop being racist towards white people.

Did you know black persons held slaves too.. black spaces and white indentured slaves, that is never mentioned.. google it!!

[majormediaproductions]

Its NOT complicated at all just LOVE who you Love and stay away from anyone who doesnt respect you as an individual. There! Simple!

[coreysligh]

There wasn't any TransAtlantic slave trade our people has always been here.

[bodhi]

It’s only as complicated as you want to make it. It’s all in your head, an illusion. If anything you should be proud because you’re proof that hate didn’t win. Love is the way

[tudormiller]

Wowsers! I'm already hooked. How many of them refer to themselves as biracial or multiracial rather than black or white ?

[prankgirl]

There is absolutely nothing inherently racist about a MAGA t-shirt. Why would he even care if his mother or that. She's obviously not racist, she was with a black man and loves her black son. People need to use logic sometimes over feelings.

[cherylrochette]

How about a descendent of tge white soldier thst faught for your freedom?

[BusyBrain]

Who gives a flying hoot. People make such a big deal out of unimportant and unimpressive things. It is not the skin that counts, but the stuffing!

[kylecaudill]

it's a less stupid liberal perspective. I'm seeing progress.

[persephonel]

Um, the odds of you being an actual descendent of a white person who owned slaves is ridiculously low. Less than 1% of white people owned slaves in America at its heights. So that statement was just ridiculous on its face.
Your white ancestors probably didn't even live here during slavery, as is the case for a huge swath of white people living in America today.

Also, white people did not "kid nap" African slaves, you make it sound as if they invaded the continent and went running around capturing Africans, this was not the case. African slaves were captured by African people and then sold to Europeans as well as several other groups. It was against their will, and obviously immoral but it was not kidnapping.

If you are a "descendent" of slave owners by the mere fact that you are partially white, by that same logic you are also a descendent of modern slave owners who are black. The practice is still in existence in many non-white countries, however, slavery is banned on every predominantly white country in earth.

[Doncroft]

Wow this video is bad. The comment section is having a field day ripping holes in these ignorant statements.

[nicholcampos]

I did not kidnap my children... Strange mind set.
