I was racially verbally attacked and threatened in the bronx 30 years ago, much more recent than the posted video, but i don't have a video of the verbal abuse and threatening behavior of the grown black men perpetrators so it doesn't count.
And my law-abiding, hard working uncle was brutally murdered by white men just five years after moving to this country. But he was an immigrant so you know, it doesn’t count.

edited to add: this happened when I was going to a day care center where i was a volunteer. a day care for all black children in the bronx. after that threatening attack, I quit.
verabally attacked? oh no, i hope you were okay after it happened.

I was not "okay". i was terrorized in broad daylight and no one who saw this assault said a word or intervened. these were big men. i wasn't welcome in 'their' neighborhood. i got the message. I never went back to that bronx volunteer assignment. in fact, i never went back to the bronx for 20 years.
Nobody has ever been attacked by an entire city or town.
The video is from a 1975 documentary where just that is happening. Black people were run out of many towns by the "townspeople." There was a poet who was run out of Duncan Oklahoma because the townspeople didn't want to be taxed for a school for black people. Many riots were nothing more than the police "standing back and standing down" as the white townspeople had their way with the black population.

It was Bill Moyers filming a rally of some kind to rid Rosedale of its black residents. The black kids just happened by. They must have got the whole city to participate in this "stage event."
A Racist Attack on Children Was Taped in 1975. We Found Them.
A snippet of the documentary “Rosedale: The Way It Is” has ricocheted across the internet, upending for another generation New York City’s narrative as a bastion of tolerance.
The video rolls on a sunny suburban street, and a group of black children bike toward what looks to them like a parade — there’s a small crowd, and an American flag. Suddenly, they’re swarmed by a group of white children, who hurl racial epithets and rocks. Adults gathered nearby do nothing.
The black children had bicycled straight into a white supremacist rally. ...
More info re: Bill Moyers' documentary:
Rosedale: The Way It Is
Racial tensions soared as the Spencers, a middle-class black family moved into Rosedale, a Queens white working-class neighborhood. Bill Moyers examines the fear, hatred and courage generated as the have-nots of our society battle for a tiny piece of the good life.
We're concerned with our own comfort level, safety and self-preservation.
If that means avoiding certain cultures and demographics, so be it. It doesn't mean we hate you or want you to be treated less than equal.

It is much faster to just type "1488". Expresses the same sentiment much faster.
