I hear ya. But it's something to think about when others start chirping about the founding fathers ideas in regards to building the nation.

Not what I am saying. Acknowledging that something good happened is fine.

Go back and read suzzer's initial post that I responded to and the posts leading up to it.

Everyone that ever lived before 1970 was an idiot. Racist,sexist bigots who thought smoking cigarettes,eating red meat and spanking children were acceptable behaviors.

7 years ago how interesting

Am I using the internet correctly? I think so!

Skimmed some of this thread. People were as usual talking about how badly women are treated in Muslim countries and I wanted to say, even though most of those posters aren't with us any longer, that the most feminist society in the world has a Muslim majority.

oh, that settles it

Great watch. Some moments made me cringe though, like when the white guy was like, "I understand what black people go through with discrimination, because I'm tubby and some stores don't have my shirt size." I was disappointed when no one replied "white people problems".

Yeah. The head in the sand in this echo chamber is really comical. It could be scary, I guess, but the idiots here really don't influence a ****ing thing.

Here's a fun thought experiment. Almost everyone these days claims to be a fan of MLK, but his legacy has largely been whitewashed + not told accurately. A better question to see if people are not afraid to embrace black rights activists would be this: Are you a fan of Al Sharpton? Because see MLK was seen in his day as Sharpton is now: as incredibly divisive, as a "race-baiter" by many whites, as an agitator, as someone who just used the issue of race to get views/ratings. It's almost a direct line from MLK to Sharpton and it sure is funny to see the massive differences in how these two are perceived by white Americans today.

Yeah it's very difficult to watch at times, but I wish we could put every high school student in the U.S. through this 45-minute program. I think it would significantly change our world.
