14 of the best films and documentaries to educate yourself on racism and Black oppression

[rupert the bear]

a small understanding of slave trade worldwide shows the same thing happening everywhere.the conquorer by nature felt superior therefore.....,whats stated in the atlantic slave trade video happened everywhere,rome took millions of slaves when caeser conquered gaul,depopulated parts of europe and any reading of roman literature will tell u they thought some races were born to be slaves,the same happened in europe under the muslims and also mongols.yikes did they depopulate,[the med coast due to the slaver corsairs and poland and hungary had their pops denuded by up to 80% by mongol invasions,mass killings and slavery] and re arrange the furniture so i find the video somewhat condescending.the word slav means slave so what does that tell u of the muslims thoughts towards the people of eastern europe and also some western ones too IE aryan germany?we need to look at this part of history in a factual manner.none of us are clean .its part of everyones history,look at thailand,slavery ended here very recently and in all honesty indentured labour was still here 20 yrs ago and look at the burmese today and the fishing fleet in thailand china etc.we cannot pick on one group and scream it was you.absurd.when ever humans dominate another set of humans this happens its part of the human condition unfortunately.muslim ,viking ,roman,mongol ,african chief ,ottoman,southern plantation owner the list is endless.

That's the wrong answer. Everyone is a racist. See, you do need an education.

I would answer you in one sentence, a short one, but I would be banned.

Well trump supporters certainly need it. 

 

The youth need it but the older generation are not worth the effort as their racism is too ingrained even though they dont admit it.

 

 

Oh, really?  How clever of you all knowing one.  Tell me how documentaries and education about the horrors of war (or environment etc) have saved us from more of the same?  One is temped to believe that being a moral person in the first place is what matters.  Where are the young (and old) people to learn this?

Oh, how I miss The Black and White Minstrel Show.

This is really an important important list to work with the timely reality of the here and the now and structural and institutional inequalities and discrimination.

If you think those were the two "most powerful countries" in Africa, then it's back to school for you. History especially.

If you need 'educating' on the evil of racism and discrimination then you must be as dim as a toad in blinkers. 

 

Interestingly, people are actually "educated' to become racists and bigots.

 

No one is born a racist or bigot. There is no racist or bigot gene.

 

When will the toady politicians take off their blinkers and realize they're the worst culprits for creating racism and bigotry.
