General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHere, on this website, right now, is a lecture that is one of the most powerful, I have ever seen.
In my opinion, if you do nothing else this holiday weekend, an hour and forty minutes may prove the most important discussion of your country and its history that you will ever see: The Truth About the Confederacy in the United States (FULL Version)
I have never seen a lecture on White Supremacy anywhere nearly as powerful. It's on the right side of the screen as I write.

(33,471 posts)I rewatched several excerpts today; there is actually nothing more timely than this on the 4th of July, with a racist in the White House, the White house.
The recording of Lee Atwater, and the fact that Ronald Reagan went to Philadelphia Mississippi to kick off his campaign...it brings it all home.
You know, my mother died many years ago from a brain tumor, and with that horror always with me, I never thought I could say this about anyone, but thinking that Atwater died that way, from a brain tumor, I suddenly saw it as justice. I never thought I could see a brain tumor as justice, but in this case it was.
Of course, now we see the modern Republican Party for what it is, a barely hidden revival of the Ku Klux Klan, but there was so much here, stated in a cold matter of fact way, with a gentle yet angry voice, that this is our lives, our country, that this is all of us...
...The camera panning to the faces of the audience, mostly a white audience, those faces...
I will never forget seeing it and I'm sure I'll watch it again, many times.

I was struck by how uncomfortable some in the audience appeared. At least that was my interpretation.
I plan on watching it again.
