Look deeper! I saw her speak twice in one day. The 1st was a Sho' Nuff B&W Radical Feminists👩🏿🤝👩🏻😲 Affair (only one other man in attendance) & the 2nd was a typical Black community set that evening @ Atlanta University late summer 1986
This documentary is great as it is filmed from the perspective of Swedish TV team that held no bias rather tried to collect information. About the movement to bring knowledge to its viewers.
You are indeed, correct, though, Bob Clark, to understand and point out that people of Anglo-Saxon descent (like me), are not necessarily only reaping benefits of patriarchy and colonialism, but also incur the damages. We're all suffering, together. Let's stop criticizing "what's fair for all of us or some of us." That's easier to determine and talk about. What's harder is the general populace willingness to understand history accurately and not just having "business as usual" anymore.
Racism is a European concept but it is very much alive and well in another regions because of European colonialism, Latin America is very racist against the indigenous for example. The reason racism doesn't exists in those other places is because of how homogeneous those places are they just isn't enough diversity to even have any form of race relations.
As a person of Anglo-Saxon descent I just wanna say that it was wrong what happened to you guys back then. However it also doesn't make it right what you try to perpetrate. Affirmative action is reverse racism plain and simple. And for whoever wants a reparation I was taken from my home in myrtle Beach and forced to move to shithole Tuscaloosa cause my parents declared bankruptcy. I didn't ask for that. Where are my reparations? Just keepin' it real. Why can't we all get along. Quit showin out.
Those are included in “European.” Racism has nothing to do with homogeneity. There was no racism when Europe was at its most heterogeneous, antiquity. Cleopatra was from northern Africa. She was considered a great beauty. European paintings depicting Cleopatra from around the Renaissance until the 19th century show her as blond, fair-skinned woman. Cleopatra became a honorary white woman. The honorary white African and Asian male is a common Hollywood trope.
Many East Asians have fair skin, some look whiter than the typical white southerner from the States. Every race has many shades, it's not a trope, it's genetics.
Bob Clark.... Affirmative Action as implemented in a patriarchal ideology, is just as prone to plutocracy and nepotism as ANY hiring policy. A bunch of male doctors with female nurses is esteemed by the government as affirmative action in the workplace. A bunch of white doctors and nurses and black and indigenous and other racially disadvantaged janitorial staff is also affirmative action by some economic definition.
If you say a racial comment about latins in Korea nobody in Korea will get upset, if you say a racial slur about whites in India nobody will get upset, if you say a racial slur about Asians in Kenya nobody's going to care. Your logic is flawed because nobody would care about race relations in those place because their homogeneous.
He said there wouldn't be an America without black people....... No shit shurlock it would be Utopia!!! Hahahaha come on now that shit was funny. Don't hate the player, hate the game G.
actually being able to transform knowledge into a type of consciousness is where potential power lies. U can have knowlegde and still not be able to translate that into power. Black people have a lot of knowledge about a lot of things. But very little power.
@RagnarOdinsson It's "Sherlock", genius. BTW, there's plenty of "utopia" in some places in the world so why don't you go there? Go to Utopia and enjoy being white. Good luck with that, G.
And actually if you really studied history you would know that during Apartheid there was worldwide protest against it and not only in the US. During the Cold War the USSR actually criticized America on how we treated blacks at the time. You don't really understand history or have the empathetic capacity to realize how bad blacks had it in this country and how bad a lot still do have it.
What you are seeing in todays world is a simple case of boredom, and annoyance from hearing african americans complain about the past and present in this country, which actually highlights the fucked up history of this country and it's people. And now it comes down to "Stop complaining, stop living in the past, move on and take responsibility for yourself". It's not that simple just because you can't stand the complaining, and it doesn't change the truth.
This is one of the best documentaries of the last 25 years. Period. It's on Netflix streaming - watch by any means necessary. Run, don't walk.
This movie just won the prize for best music at the Swedish movie awards. Can't say that I'm supprised. Go ?love!
Angela Davis was speaking the truth in this documentary! I stand behind her 100%!

"black is beautiful, but black isn't power. Knowledge is power!" Nice! :)

Not Crazy Well cleopatra was from North Africa but she's was of Grecian decent so she wasn't an "honorary white woman" she was a white woman.
Many East Asians have fair skin, some look whiter than the typical white southerner from the States. Every race has many shades, it's not a trope, it's genetics.
@Noxasja Amen!
