As a black male that doesn’t give AF about make up, my GF just got me hooked on your videos and I don’t think you know how necessary you are. I never miss one 👌🏾

[moonka]

The saddest part about this is there are so many towns where black people were thriving that have now been as I call hidden/erased from history. I am so glad there are so many people like Bailey doing research and educating us on all the parts of history that America tries so desperately to keep us from talking about. We need to understand the past so we can make sure we never allow this stuff to happen again. Education is power and that’s the one thing NO ONE can take away from you. Keep educating yourselves everyone and don’t ever stop questioning and taking it upon yourself to look things up.

[newtle]

I was literally like, “hasn’t she told this story before?” Because I’ve watched the Tulsa Race Massacre video. I find it so disturbing that it’s a completely different story but so similar and nothing was done about either times, plus it is hidden from the world practically. I’d never heard of them until Bailey. Disgusting.
Thank you for videos like these though. It’s so important.

I just saw this today and thought you'd appreciate it for this channel:

"Studying history will sometimes disturb you.
Studying history will sometimes upset you.
Studying history will sometimes make you furious.
If studying history always makes you feel proud and happy, you probably aren't studying history."

[carrieheron]

Bailey can you do a podcast about the boarding schools and all the Native American children they are finding in graves. People need to learn the truth about these boarding schools.

[curlytop]

I am Descendant of some of the rosewood survivors (beulah carrier-Sherman aka scrappy in the movie was my great great great grandma.)
Thanks Bailey for shedding light on this. Not a lot of people know about it

[LoveHal]

We stan a queen not afraid to talk about & respect black history.

[mangoberry]

Shout out to Bailey for acknowledging each victim by their name and not just by a number

[HawlyAly]

Why doesn't this woman have a tv series yet? This episode was not only funny, interesting, dark, AND educational but also just had a great well articulated message about keeping history honest. I love it so much

[thehomebird]

All this over a woman refusing to admit she was having an affair.
Sickening.

[TheMelanatedElephant]

As a black Florida native I learned the history of Rosewood when I was a little kid. That’s why Karens were so dangerous and still are. Thank you for telling this part of our history💛

[laurenlittlewood]

I grew up like an hour from Rosewood and we never learned about this. Which isn’t surprising given its Florida but every time I learn about something in history, that has been basically erased, I get so mad. Thank you for educating me so that I may better educate my son.

[Kaykokovids]

Rest in peace to all the victims who lost their lives during this massacre.
Their lives were lost because a white woman didn't want to admit she was having an affair. Disgusting

[stephanieden]

So glad Bailey is stretching her wings and providing educational material to her audience beyond the true crime genre.

[ionabyrne]

The fact that this all happened because a woman couldn't be faithful to her husband is disgusting

[kassandrawatcheston]

Can you do a “dark history” surrounding “residential schools/industrial schools/American Indian schools” in Canada they are now digging up around old schools and finding hundreds of unmarked graves of children as young as 3-4. This was overlooked for decades! Something to research !

[lubblie_bubblie]

As a Black Floridian I’ve only ever heard about the Rosewood Massacre through my FAFSA application, and they didn’t even call it a massacre!! They were always super vague about it and I never thought to look it up for myself, thank you for talking about this 💛

[tammiedunn]

I am 60 years old. I have lived in Mississippi all my life. I’ve never heard of this massacre. It certainly was never taught in school. Thank you, Bailey Sarian for this very enlightening account of this tragedy.

[ElveeKaye]

Bailey is the school teacher we all needed and never knew it.

[Rustix]

I am crying like a baby. All those innocent people... I'm a black Floridian, and this is the first I'm hearing of what actually happened in Rosewood. Idk if Bailey knows just how special her videos are 💚
