    Default Watch this documentary and reflect on it every time you call me a racist.

    This is a very enlightening video documentary on racism...Being regularly accused of being a "racist", I decided to challenge my accusers.

    Do you really know what racism is?...Do you really know a racist when you see one?...Are race relations in America improving or worsening?

    I wasn't quite sure which forum to post this in but I finally decided on US History since America is considered to be a historicly racist nation.

    Historically racist in the sense that it finds its origins in the unjust and violent dispossession of the indigenous population after they were crippled by infectious disease, yes. Good thing we have people fighting European interlopers, of course.

    I'm not surprised, PP...

    Most people of ignorance are perfectly satisfied with that state of mind and have no desire to be anything but.

    The best indication of a closed mind is one that seeks only confirmation of what it already believes..."does the shoe fit"?

    /shrugs.....for all I know, your video is the most ignorant thing around...the fact you aren't willing to summarize it for us only increases that suspicion........don't expect me to invest an hour of my life just to determine if that's true.....if you have an argument, raise it, if you don't, don't bother to start threads....

    LOL!...Damn, it must take one hell of an introduction to get you to read a book.....You have read a book haven't you?

    Ok, hows this?...It's a really informative short documentary about "racism" especially for people who think like you.

    Why would you assume there's a "racist preaching his ideology for an hour"?

    Oh yea, I forgot!

    So strikes Hogtrash's usual debating style... if you don't outright agree and join my circle jerk... YOU MUST BE A LIBERAL INDOCTRINATED PCer!!!!

    The way you talk Hog... you are really indoctrinated with hate against people that aren't white.

    it's only the trading of one kind of PC for another.....we can't be "politically correct" unless we're willing to accept that white seperatists aren't racists.....

    recognizing that racism equals ignorance isn't the result of being "politically correct", it's the result of being rational......

    hogwash thinks my position is the result of a "closed" mind, in truth, it's the result of a "used" one......

    Default Keep an open mind and be honest...

    If anyone should take the time to view the video would you please do me a favor and post whether you believe it is

    an honest attempt to demonstrate people's misconceptions of racism or simply a rightwing nut-case spewing hatred.

    Thank you...

    Interresting video because the man isn't doing any of the talking. He is asking people questions and letting them talk. He isn't correcting them or really adding anything to the conversations except to ask the question.

    A few of the more interresting parts in the beginning.

    A black woman says she experiences racism when white people are overly nice to her??????????

    A black man says he experienced racism as a club because a white man told him he was a good dancer and then proceded to dance near him on the dance floor. The black man thought it was racism because he was there with a white woman.

    A white man says racism is evident because the US is building a wall along Mexico, but not along our border with Canada.

    I've only gotten through the first part of the video and probably won't bother with the rest. But the theme seems to be that people who "experience racism every day" have NO IDEA what racism is and have a hard time explaining what they have experience beyond white people being "overly friendly".

    Racism has largely vanished as an overt aspect of state policy. It does continue to a lesser extent through elements of economic organization and policy and simple attitudes among white rightists, most likely to have socially authoritarian viewpoints.

    OK,

    Trigg and I watched the whole video tonight. I have to say it does bring some interesting points to light. I will add that everything in this video I have seen first hand.

    We were discussing with our children the "BLATANT" racism we felt in the city of New Orleans in the early 90's while living there.

    I have to say it really wasn't what I expected. I would add that no matter what Craig Bodecker says he will be labeled a racist by anyone of color who would watch this, however ironic that may be. Unfortunately this video is being shopped around by the white supremacist web sites so that really does it a disservice and detracts from the message that it has to offer... IMHO


    PMP I would suggest that you actually take the 58 minutes and watch the video it really isn't what you expect!!!!
