  • Watching this I feel as if American History is repeating itself. I remember watching Martin Luther King giving his speech on Washinton,os so many years ago. And Marion Anderson singing on those steps. What would they say?

  • /watch?v=z4OI0GUCI_A/

  • What a charismatic motherfucker !

  • @CODsMODs You're comment "there is no difference..." is fundamentally naive. Yes, there are no natural differences (albeit cosmetic) but there are always environmental differences that affect the pysche of a people. No matter how brilliant the mind, how loving the heart, or how beautiful the soul, people have and continue to be devalued others due to race, sexual lifestyle, and gender. To not acknowledge that this separation in perception (history = fact + perception) is a mistake.

  • @CODsMODs I too believe in multicultural and multiethnic societies, but those societies are not going to be more than privilege for whites and apartheid for non-whites if we don't destroy institutional racism. And one way institutional racism reproduces itself is by white history. Colorblindness and colormuteness are not going to help us to solve this problem, because they are part of the problem. And about Abe Lincoln: watch?v=QgrGwQo7MaU

  • @ricardofuego ...man... why does it matter if its white history? thats kinda racist. theres no diffrence between whites,blacks, spanish, chinese, etc were all people. An attribute doesnt make someone any diffrent. Theres no such thing as white history only history of man and an individual is responsible for his actions not his race his religion his organization or his country.

  • @CODsMODs I don't appreciate WHITE history. And I don't complain: I critique and I fight.

  • @onlythreelittlepigs you probly dont even know what your saying right now... you realize a republic is not the same as republican? america was never a republic, they were republican. democracy is what this nation is founded on. the only countries that use a republic is like rome... 2,000 yrs ago

  • @ricardofuego you realize if it werent for abraham lincoln black people might still be enslaved? you should try to appreciate instead of trying to find things to complain about.

  • @ricardofuego

    lmao, so true.
