A good story reminds us that we are all more connected than we think.
I'm Danielle Romero and my content is all about exploring the nuances of American identity and unearthing hidden historical narratives. My great grandmother Lola left her heritage behind in Louisiana when she moved to NY in the 1930s. Last year, I decided to uncover our family story and begin finding our roots. I'm still on the journey of hidden heritage, genealogy and finding out how our family history fits in the context of community history!
Why NYTN? I was born in NY and now I live in TN! Sometimes it's best to just keep it simple.

Was Babe Ruth Passing for White?
#baberuth #findingyourroots #nytn #ancestry #findingyourroots #familyhistory #genealogy
Many speculate that Babe Ruth, one of baseball's greatest legends, may have had African American ancestry, a secret he kept hidden due to the racial prejudices of his time. This possibility raises questions about the intersection of race and identity in American sports history, challenging the narrative of Ruth's legacy.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?

Another great video! I really like the way you approach issues of race and identity in the US, even the term "American" is controversial in Latin America as many consider it to be an indication of US exceptionalism since Latin America is also "America" and can be perceived as erased from the term "American"
Anthony Johnson, A BLACK MAN, WAS THE FIRST SLAVE OWNER..A Northern COLONIAL CITIZEN ..Pick UP A BOOK
DERRRRRRRE..Jim.Crow happened ONLY in the SOUTH...SLAVERY , AT IT'S Peak, WAS DONE BY 7% OF RICH ONLY SOUTHERN Land OWNERS...AND 400,000 WHITE SOLDIERS AND A WHITE PRESIDENT DIED FREEING THEM U SHILL....WHO GOT The WORST END There?????
To me he looks like a South German...perhaps Bavarian.
June Carter Cash was NOT black and the woman in this video is not her anyway. Quit spreading lies! 😡
Vivian was so beautiful, she was treated very unfairly, they seemed very much in love and the public made it so hard for her.

She's Italians
I always assumed Gumba must be a mispronounciation of the italian equivalent of Compadre. Maybe I'm wrong.
OMG that word comes from the equivalent of Guapo, that makes so much sense. In Spanish meanings can be so different in different countries where I think Guappo originally just means good looking but in other countires it means agressive, fighty, or tough. Thank you for unearthing this hidden meaning.
Irish people were sold as black slaves .... they " became white" in a deal by joining the american civil war ....
Yeah, Italians are "white". In the 1920's no one was called White in America. It was Anglo's or Caucasian.
There were many "White" slaves, over a quarter million. In fact, more White slaves came here in the US than African slaves. In the 1800s I believe, they banned slavery of Europeans in the Abolishment of the White Slaves. They just don't teach the TRUTH. It's out there tho 🤷🏾♂️ BTW the African Americans are the American Indians aka POWs. That truth is out there as well.
Why do you woke folks always go after dead people with your race hoaxing. Stop it.
I font remrmber ghis. I duppose it was because I wasn't a "country" fan.
My day care lady told me i was black still dont know why she woke me up like that.
She is mixed race, not "black".
So tired of going back 150 yrs. Yawn.....lets talk about jews under bobdage in egypt or the slavs...where slave came from...try that?
I always thought Babe Ruth was Black. I had no idea he was considered White until I was an adult. I see a Black man when I look at him.
You racist people. She was mixed race. Irish, German, Sicilian. DNA was taken and gggGrandma was a slave a from africa..NO Country though. The whole continent, apparently.
Civil war was about the indentured servants wanting equality…..they don’t want to tell u who the servants were……and who backed the movement….
My teachers told my parents not to speak Italian to me because I would have difficulty learning English. They listened to them. I find it incredible that they did because both my parents were 1st generation American and spoke English and Italian.
Spike Lee thinks everybody was secretly black.
This is the best description of this infirmation I have come across yer. Famtastic, very informatove.
Johnny Cash was a renaissance man ahead of his time
Talk about Tom Jones next.
Oof, he was getting brainwashed by a blacksupreme.
Jewishness is not a racial characteristic. The white ones are the result of immigration into central and eastern Europe, followed by escape further afield.
Elvis has been quoted as saying he dyed his hair black b/c his mother’s hair was black😳
For rich people to exist, there must be poor people, as one example, in this universe of opposites complimenting each other. The Goddess would feel pain, if there were no negative opposites. Do the math. God says = Do not let poverty and riches overwhelm you = Be even-minded in all situations.
Ok of topics the kings from the east that’s Persia Iran going to attack Israel and from the north that’s Russia 🇷🇺 and China the Euphrates River is dry up makes sense just to let you know and you and the people that follow you , but really you’re husband or partner he have to know that you with a black dude not right cheats
I always thought he was black. My aunt always said, ‘we know our own’.
God sees beyond your present self = you were a slave-master or slave-mistress back in the day = and now it's pay-back time. Life is so simple to see and understand. There is no way around the Truth steering you right in your face.
WOP, not to be confused with WAP, Cardi B's and Meg the Stallion's hit song. Even though it's pronounced the same way. LOL.
Interracial marriages were illegal in some parts of the United States up until 1967
Hey i wish it was all equal
Seriously I bet you cheat on your white Mexican or Puerto Rican husband whit a black dude
Who cares….
Hebrews and Jews are not the same group of people. Hebrews were the original inhabitants of Isreal, not the Jews. The Hebrews migrated throughout Europe and brought their customs traditions and beleifs with them. Those things were taught to those who wanted to learn their systems and practices.Those who accepted their practices started calling themselves jewish. Which means the practice of Judaism. There ancestors (Jews) have no true connection to the land other than by saying their ancestors didn't occupy the land that was given to them in 1942 by the British and US governments. The desire of the major powers in the world control strategic sites in the world has always been a priority in maintaining control and power over the Earth.
The answer is PROBABLY. Because why WOULDN'T you back then? Easier life. 🤷🏾♀️
If you desire racial divides they are obviously never going to fade and you are just going to get further and further away from what you want. Unless you are like this woman and just simply want racial divide. But you should know that those lines are much more than just white and black.
That nose is giving him away. I believe he is part black.
Ty Cobb was notoriously racist…it is well documented. The motivation for Rob to dispute that is, at the very least, suspicious.
I’m a Polish immigrant of 30 years and I call myself American, not Polish American. I’m not ashamed, I’m very proud of Poland but my ethnic origin shouldn’t matter in any discussion. All my friends know I’m Polish but I just don’t go around announcing it. I don’t really like that Uber pride and shoving it every bodies throat like certain cultures do. My identity is far deeper than ethnicity.
The nose gave him away and he was swarthy
Babe was passing for a man, truth be told.
Read the Talmud, its full of racial supremacy, yet white supremacy is so bad
