wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) A 1 hr 40 min documentary about how the US Constitution's 13th Amendment has actually authorized oppression of blacks: Gives anyone who is interested in the subject a great background. Especially Europeans who think they know American history. Edited June 15, 2020 by wowgetoffyourcellphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I post that documentary. I'll link it again, since it is very powerful and even opened my eyes to a few things I was ignorant of. The section about the old silent film "Birth of a Nation," where the KKK is lionized is particularly shocking in the way it invigorated the movement toward black suppression. What I've run into in the US is how some whites like to pretend these protests or incidents are isolated, fully encapsulated events. They like to point out certain data points throughout history, as if history is not a continuum. "No black person alive has ever been a slave," or "Everyone has equal rights under the law already, what more can you want?" And many people are just plain ignorant. Schools teach about the civic rights struggle, but it's a cursory glance and easily forgotten. Often, school instruction on these related issues are not only insufficient, but somewhat counterproductive due to its selective nature. Folks then wonder why college students get radicalized once they learn the real truth hidden from them by their primary educators and parents. The book, "The Lies My Teacher Told Me," is a great introduction here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 ANTIFA literally means anti-fascist. As such, it is not an actual organization with a hierarchy or leadership. Anyone can claim to be ANTIFA, including ALT-RIGHT groups masquerading as them.

feneur Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 I'm locking this thread. It just seems to cause trouble and conflict, without rendering any benefit to anyone - rather anger and hatred. I'm sure there are aspects which can be discussed in a meaningful way, but most of this topic has not proved to be very meaningful. Let the forums be a place where we discuss the game and its development, and related topics where it might be relevant. But please try and stay away from more controversial subjects, even if they are meaningful to you, the likelihood that you will influence someone else is very slim, but the likelihood that you will make people angry and act stupid is massive. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
