http://m.Fascinating and devastating. Everyone needs to watch this so you can understand the true meaning of "American Exceptionalism". You'll finally understand American history, and how and why the 1% always get the White working class to align itself against it's own interests.

The works of Theodore Allen shows how the 1% invented "white people" (as a political construct and method to impose social control) to retard the development of the labor class in America. In a nutshell, the left would have been further developed in this country had we not had "white supremacy, because white supremacy is not good for the white labor class either.
The guy who is giving the lecture is good because he's very on point and concise. A ton of history in the lecture as well as meaningful statistics. The guy who wrote the books the lecturer is talking about wrote the stuff from the 60's through the 90's. The history is incredible.
Anybody who is sincere should want to see this one. A good investment of time.
Thanks for asking!
