The Horror Film from Obama to Trump
Russell Meeuf from the University of Idaho joins Johanna this week to talk about his book White Terror: The Horror Film from Obama to Trump.

This woman speaks shit, absolutely no clue.
I had the privilege of attending Semester in the Wild during it's second year. It was an incredible experience.
2000 years of hating goyim.
Thank you for the presentation. I'm not as familiar with the particulars around the Seattle, WA area (my father's fam was in Seattle/Minidoka). In CA, much of the "Racism" and "War Hysteria" were manufactured. Sentiments were pushed to hysterical, irrational levels by the Hearst press, and there were white business interests being served, that in turn drove political decisions and politicians (their own racism notwithstanding). The camps were a convenient excuse to increase market share monopolization of certain markets by getting rid of Japanese Americans operating in those markets, e.g. fishing and farming.
Thank you so much, this is very informative. I am very interested in this topic as Vardis Fisher is a distant relative of mine.
Dont like seeing AirBnBs this town should be lived in and adopted out to ppl who want and deserve to live here celebrating a great place to live and not reserved to ghosts and sometimers. There is a ghostly presence and a lack of life. Personally I would love to live here in this amazing town. I hate airbnbs they only serve the rich property hoarders.
Enjoyed this very much. Wallace is an amazing historic and mysterious town full of wonder and curiosity. I hate the times we live in so I am drawn to Wallace for my Solice! Beatiful treasure and grateful for the preservation of this American gem.
Grew up in the silver valley, lived all over it, still living here. And now I’m about to get my first apartment in wallace
You da what?
Amazing history. I love this so much.
Thank you guys. I grew up here I'm 46 I wasn't blind to the racism and I spoke out against it and always will as with people who choose to be in LGBT community I will stand in support of them and their Rights as well. Also I found out Idaho banned LGBT community from participating in sports so I think they should create their own sports groups and compete. 💞
(née ; November 30, 1897 - December 16, 1954) was an American jazz and blues singer-songwriter, composer, guitarist, and actress. Morse's greatest popularity was in the 1920s and early 1930s as a torch singer, although her career began around 1917 and continued until her death in 1954. SHE WAS GLEN'S BIG SISTER
Sounds like the same nonsense talking points that modern day Conservatives use against Progressives just change the USSR with China
Where did you get some of the newspaper-looking images or sources, like with Taylor's police charge by entering the door? Thanks
Great Video! I'm citing it for an essay!!
Love this fascinating topic! 🥰 Thank you for uploading it!

Thank you Cheryl and Gabrielle for discussing this topic. It was interesting and informative. Idaho always seems so isolated from the national turbulence around topics such as this and I forget that we are have to deal with these issues here, too. Unfortunately, in addition to getting a reputation as a good place to live, Idaho is also becoming better known nationally for the lengths to which our legislators will go to discriminate against LBGTQIA+ and other marginalized groups. As you said, as people learn more about these individuals, their lives, and their histories, it becomes easier to accept them as human beings.
