So this was between 1957 and 1960. Looking at their faces speaks volumes about racism and you think that there is a difference today?

I bet they STILL went out and bought the record.....that's why Motown was such a big empire....it was black music that whites could also enjoy....music is universal, it should not be restricted to color....

It is sad that you choose to focus on racism of a few confused women when the vast majority were in fact simply enjoying his performance.

Why are they all chewing gum? It looks so tacky. That aside, it looks like our country is being led in that direction. Back instead of forward. SMH. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s bigger than the white ladies sitting there. It’s just that Satan whom none of us can see has played races against each other for as long as we could imagine and the fight isn’t against flesh and blood but a spiritual fight… So until we all understand and believe that, we are losing the fight!!! #Forgive #Love #Pray

Remember all of them had children who are in there 30-50’s today, and what do you think they taught their grandchildren who are the youth of today??? TO THE FLOCK: Revelation 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

they were told by the cops to not act excited or dance. that's why they keep looking to the side. and you can see that some wanted to start nodding their heads to the rhythm but looked across at security and smiled and stopped. stop trying to make everything about race. it was the democratic party that didn't want black Americans making it anywhere. look at what they have done for generations!!

Racism always around. Yt folks kept it quiet to a certain degree. They were always some who showed their racist views loud and proud. Then Trump came and told them they had a gods given right to be outspokenly racist. Facts ‼️💯

… as they all share the same stick of gum…their little V’s, below, clutching their pearls and crossing their inner legs!! They are looking around for recommendations or a consultation with their audience neighbors! They are well aware of the camera, as it pans over their faces. The studio did not warn these poor girls, because I don’t think their parents would’ve let them come. Seems like this is the first time they ever saw his face!! Was there anyone in the audience that looked like Frankie!! Imagine that night back, back home, in the safety of their pink bedrooms and private thoughts, “Dear diary…”. Let’s complete their possible thoughts/entry on that page!! …I knew it, I knew it! I can never tell Helen and Kathy how my dreams are forever colored in love… goodnight Diary, until tomorrow, “Mrs. Lyons”.❤️

It was because they feared what could be done to them once they were on camera, you see other white females clapping, this video is not a true account, I'm 100% sure they knew who sang the song and who was appearing at that particular show.

Many already knew or didn't care, and you can see them clapping along, just not focused on. Why do we insist on giving space or time to the filth in this world instead of concentrating on the good? If you pay more attention to the beauty in life, life will be more beautiful to you.
