    And what is endorsed now? Division along economic and racial lines. Harvard has segregated graduation for the first time on the behest of of one racial group wanting to separate from the others. Right or left, we've forgotten to be Americans. Now we are liberals, conservatives, Muslims, Christians, haves, have-nots, Republicans, Democrats. The majority of kids and adults won't date or associate beyond ideologies. We're more than suckers, we've divided ourselves while screaming unity. God, Allah, help us all. We're ripe for the plundering. We're doing our enemy's work for them and no one seems to be the wiser.

      This is so true. Thats why we NEED mixed ethnicity neighborhoods it helps so much with combating racism, it is actualy insane.
      I am from germany and famously after the nazis threw most german men into allied machineguns (with the volkssturm even the children and the elder) we had a massive shortage of workers to rebuild and work in germany after the war. So the government made very very loose regulations on imigration to fill the labour pool. Today only around 13% of people living in germany are ethnicaly german and we have alot of skin color variaty on the streets. This results in incredibly low racism.
      I also have family in Poland and we visit them very frequently. As the polish population was not completely wiped out during world war 2 (although the nazis were trying, trust me) they didnt have the same need for migrant workers and as a result the population is as white as a fresh bed sheet. And the result? Incredible, absolutely indescribable racism. Since the the majority of people have never meet a black person before they hold the most wild, most unbelivable racist steriotypes. Everything from "monkey people" to "blacks are canibals". Yes I am not joking. It is crazy.
      Racism decreases with mixed ethnicity population. It is an undeniable fact.

    Great lesson... this is why history is so important and should not be destroyed. This is why we should not be putting labels on groups as victims or oppressors. This is why we need more free thought and speech instead of censorship under the guise of misinformation. This is why we need freedom of religion and to keep faith a part of our nation. If we allow big government to own and control our lives, elections, health, schools, jobs, food and energy supplies instead of the people, small business, churches, local communities - then we will fail. We are not a nation of any political party, ruling class, dictator or activist bullies. We are a Republic ruled by a US Constituion which allows for representation of the majority while protecting the inalienable rights of the minority!

If one has questions about something specific, Mediabiasfactcheck.org or Snopes.com are good resources. And this video from the 40s encourages us do disbelieve news couched in terms of separating groups of people from other groups of people. Are they emphasizing racial or religious differences or are they just reporting the facts? Are they making generalizations to an entire group based on the actions of one person, or are they just reporting what that one person did? Speakers trying to separate us with the use of divisive or overly generalizing language are usually not to be trusted.

    I see a lot of people marveling at how the points made in this video are still relevant today. Of course they are, because times change and styles change, technology advances and norms evolve (or devolve); but people don't change. Human nature is the same today as it was thousands of years ago. There are good and bad people now as then. There are strong and weak people now as then. This is why studying history is and will always be like a crystal ball through which we can see the future, near and far.
    When a modern politician talks about how the safety of our children is more important than "rights," it's nothing new to me. I've heard the same ideas over and over again throughout history and I know exactly where they lead. Every time these same bad ideas are put forth, the same thoughtless, short-sighted people embrace them and defend them. Or the same tactics: fear, division, classism, nationalism, fascism... There are no new ideas, only old ideas (good and bad) wrapped in shiny new words and images. And always in the end it boils down to two opposing ideologies: freedom vs control.
