Caveh can tell a story!! He should narrate children's books or something.. he has an animated voice!

What is the point?

This should be on the Youtube front page instead of that "racism in America episode 4."

GREAT POINT; WE SOMETIMES DO JUDGE PEOPLE BASED ON THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS. AND THEN WE LOOK FOR WAYS TO FIND TRUTH TO THEIR OPINION IN OUR OWN LIVES BY SEARCHING FOR THE NEGITIVE PROSPECTS IN PEOPLE.  IN THIS UNJUST "TRUTH" A RACIST IS BORN.

I like it. I like the way you are shwoing it to us and what you thoughts where. I really liked it.

Oh dear; for a minute you were, like, HUMAN!

Welcome to reality, Mr. Zahedi.

It's more worrying that you have made a film illustrating your anxiety about a moment in time that you were an ordinary human being with ordinary faults.

Ultimately humans will be humans; we all have failings. Ideally, our successes will outnumber them, though; and we can but try to be decent for the most part.

It might do you progressives a world of good to get over the notion that you are "better" than the rest.
