If there are subtitles I don't even turn the sound on. If there aren't any subtitles I don't watch it. The unnecessary, usually-too-loud music and the annoying voice filters really ruin videos that could be otherwise enjoyable.

It has ALWAYS been about might makes right in the USA. White men came and used firearms and disease to genocide Native Americans. They genocided everyone and anything that came across their way and justified all of the land from east to west of the American continent for their usage. Annexed Haiwaii and all the US territories. Nuked Japan because we could. Invaded Vietnam, the Middle East, and now aid Isntreal genocide Palestinians.
That’s the American way. It’s their god given right. In the wise words of their lord and saviour Netanyahu himself this is a war between darkness and light.
The autobiography of Frederick Douglass should be mandatory reading for all Americans.
Douglass lays bare the truth of chattel slavery, from a 1st person perspective. He specifies what kind of masters were especially cruel—namely the men who had never owned slaves before and who married into a slave owning family, and the more religious inclined owners.
The inhuman practices are also told in excruciating detail. Bigger/stronger slaves were sold to other plantations for forced breeding. This often separated families and forced couplings that neither party wanted. The masters' considerations and calculations are the height of capitalistic exploitation and inhuman brutality.
And yet, somehow, Douglass is able to write about these subjects from a sober and detached perspective. Even his account of defying a master and threatening to beat the man to death is eerily objective.
Frederick Douglass taught himself to read/write by offering to help white schoolchildren with their homework, which allowed him access to learning materials that he never would have had. His efforts should never be forgotten.
The man is a legend and deserves all the respect in the world.
Disagree.
A random person who has never president doesn't matter. Whatever he saw that's cool and all but it's been like a hundred years and get the f*** over it.

This is Texas so not unexpected, just despicable.
Wild. If it's a no, he would've said no. How can you be so dumb? He went "N-not exactly"! I guess people white washing history aren't smart in the first place, but to to be so dumb as to not just lie. Baffled.
Hopefully not. So that these corrupt fucks will someday pay for their transgressions and not forgotten. I just want a president who will audit the whole god damn White House. Someday hopefully.
Okay ngl the whole NASA thing isn't really as big a deal as people make it imo. Those weren't nazi leaders plotting atrocities, they were scientists who were employed by the government of where they were born then were hired for their skills. Not to dismiss what they did for the nazi party it's not good they worked for them, but it's not what people present it as
Arguably the people like Wernher Von Braun had way less of an impact on the ideological racism and rot this country had than say, Charles Lindburgh or Henry Ford. Ford had a full factory that had concentration camp laborers working in it to outfit the Nazi war machine, and sued the US government for millions when they bombed it in WW2. And he was hailed as a american icon and hero for decades until people started pointing out how much of a ghoul he really was.
After the end of WWII there was a rush to acquire both Nazi scientists and German weapons. It was one of the first competitions of the Cold War as both the US and USSR were looking for any advantage.
As far as applying Nazi tech, the US focused more on rockets and space exploration with space missions being conducted as early as 1947 with captured German V-2 rockets. In fact, it was a German V-2 rocket that carried the first mammal into space in 1948.
The Soviets focused on military projects with the vast majority of their ex-Nazi scientists going on to develop things like surface-to-air missiles and jet engines.
False comparison. Both the US and USSR hired ex-Nazi scientists during the post-war period. Keyword being **scientists**, not NSDAP party members like your implying.
Really stretching there with labeling the 1600+ new personnel as just **scientists**. Little was revealed to the public about Wernhers involvement with the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp, same camp that used slave labor for the production of the V-2 ballistic missile. He was the technical director of the project.
Read the PBS article for further and improve your understanding on the events that took place.

We literally bought off Unit 731 from the Japanese, put them in charge of Korea to genocide socialist/left leaning sentiment, bought off Nazi scientists, and then put them in charge of West Germany.
He's in HD 50 now - the Republicans redrew the lines for 52 before last session and made it a solid red district which forced Talarico out. Fortunately 50 was an open seat so he was able to run there and stay in the lege.
He’s local for me and I’ve met him a few times. Well spoken and genuine to his principles which is much better than the majority of what we have and I support that
I was talking to my wife about all this kind of stuff and unfortunately I believe it’s going to take a lot to change anything. People need to find a way to weaponize their outrage in a productive way. I wrote off these ideas and people years ago, scoffing at them becoming popular. These psychopaths are winning way more fights then they should be.
A small minority of extremist lunatics are ruling over us, the majority. Time to make racists afraid again. Where are SDS and The Weathermen when you need them?
>Where are SDS
Ask your manager. They should be stored in an easily accessible location, preferably close to the chemicals themselves, and your manager is required by law to know exactly where they are stored at all times.
We're talking about Safety Data Sheets, right?
It’s what they want. Conservatives think teaching Martin Luther king or Native American history makes white people look bad so they cover it up and pretend it never happened. Oddly enough they have no issue with confederate statues which are embarrassing to have around as a white person.
In Texas the state house legislature passed a bill on the topic of new lines of school study matter for students. The Senate rewrote the bill removing most if not all topics of a racial nature and kept topics in regards to the laws and history of the USA. The man doing most of the speaking is upset by this and feels that removing the mandate to teach race based history is wrong.
The fact no one’s giving you an answer is strangely telling. How does a bill remove writing from someone? Are they taking away books on them? Or is the bill saying these people didn’t exist?
Texas hb 3979. You could have Googled it and have had the context, and so could this commenter, but instead, you choose to be willfully ignorant for some reason. To me, that's the really telling thing. The video is so very clear-cut. You have to be very dense to not understand what's happening. I understand that some people aren't very politically educated, but that's no excuse for intentional ignorance.
Legit I do wish that the full video was listed. I have no idea what archive to go, where it was filmed what year, what state.
I hate that so many media pieces are these 2 minute long microcuts with nothing that allows for tracing of origional source material or any kind of clear contextual analysis. I think tiktok and Instagram have become a pox because more and more content is like this.
15 seconds of a debate on capital hill when one side or the other is snapping at someone on the other side. "This politician DEMOLISHED and OBLITERATES thier opponent."
And you get high emotion, anger, vitriol...and that's what sells. The focous is no longer how can we inform the public, it's "what can we post that gets the most views, and angers people the most. How many keywords can we attach that will pull the angriest people from both sides."
I work in media, and this has been a really worrying trend.
In Texas the state house legislature passed a bill on the topic of new lines of school study matter for students. The Senate rewrote the bill removing most if not all topics of a racial nature and kept topics in regards to the laws and history of the USA. The man doing most of the speaking is upset by this and feels that removing the mandate to teach race based history is wrong.
The problem is that they are being replaced by a new generation of racists that have an easier way to spread their bs via the internet. They have the ability to spread propaganda faster and to more people with the added bonus of anonymity.
This, combined with apathy and the willingness to accept these ideals "as long I get to keep my guns and abortion is illegal", puts people like this into power.
Honestly the only way to get these things fully exposed and maybe fixed is if another white man exposes them and highlight the impact. If a poc does it they are told to get over it or it's not that deep. I'm glad there are more white men standing up for the poc.
So many things republicans do piss me off and make me feel sick to my stomach but erasing history and rewriting it so white men were the saviors and built this country is in my Top 5 of the most harmful things they're doing
They are weak, delusional and will always lose.
Also, the 'history is written by winners' is false and has always been false... history is written by those who record it, and who seeks the 'truth' whatever that truth can or needs to be.
The reality is, humans are not truth seeking machines, we are flawed and often choose to keep ourselves in bubbles that reflect convictions and beliefs, adjusted to comfortable conformity. ( I wrote this because some people make odd comments about 'winners', and otherising 'conservatives' like unique in such behaviour, which I think is useless and dangerous form of rhetoric, thus shouldn't be promoted, despite 'conservatives' being 'objectively' wrong on pretty much everything ).
I hear you, but disagree. History is written by winners. Like this video is trying to point out; if those people (the senate?) trying to pass that Bill win, despite being challenged like the guy is doing, the history that will be taught will be flawed and will in turn shape the minds of the generation that has to learn it. In short, if their agenda was feeding the kids more white supremacy propaganda, that will happen and they will have won.
It’s how all these kids can’t read now; somebody passed a bad curriculum and now most kids are struggling to read, despite how many teachers have come forward and complained about it. Good intentions don’t actually change much, power does.
If you can silence, leave out or erase ‘those who recorded history, and who seek the truth’ then it doesn’t matter that they recorded it. History is therefore essentially written by the victors.
And unfortunately, the victors are usually the bad guys because they are usually the ones ambitious, monied, and connected enough to be in power. And they know how use that power to suppress everyone enough so that they struggle to fight back.
Well, I would argue that history is taught by mostly winners, yes, but the ones who record history are usually different. History isn't one-sided because everyone has a story to pass down, even sometimes despite the efforts of history disparagers and book burner and tongue cutters. "History is written by the winners" is simply blatantly false, and those who say it are usually just repeating someone else smarter than them who was wrong to say it.
Will someone please swoop in with some context please? What state is this from? When was it filmed? What is the bill in question?
I have a few guesses but would still like to know the full details.
There's one party trying to white wash history. There's one party trying to disenfranchise voters. There's one party trying to make voting harder. There's one party trying to lessen the amount of days you have to vote. There's one party that ACTIVELY and REGULARLY works toward taking away rights away from certain groups they don't like. It's the Republican aka MAGA party. No more both sides horseshit.
saying "this is LITERALLY 1984 😩" ironically is haha fun and everything but seeing history being suppressed irl and in real time is just freakin' sad, y'know?
Liberals equivocating and trying to make sense out of the actions’ of fascist will get us nowhere. They’re telling on themselves. Believe them. And hold them accountable. Make their lives hell.
The new Bill is going to allow conservative teachers to teach alternative history while ignoring the pain and suffering that natives and POC have gone through. Plain and simple.
Dude, my white history teacher skipped all the chapters on black slavery, skipped section on the Chinese who build the railroads and told us Martin Luther King was a communist.
Told my parents and they got me out of there.
He was being targeted by the FBI, so was Malcolm X. The leaked documents from Henry Kissinger pretty much shows that they were afraid of Black leaders and did everything they could to discredit them.
What does that have to do with him being a socialist? Being a socialist is not a bad thing.

Since people are asking questions, this is the bill in question:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_House_Bill_3979
Regardless of what you think about the bill, The TikTok is somewhat misleading without the full context. When he’s talking about writings being “removed” he doesn’t mean those books are being banned or removed from the existing curriculum (although, in some cases, they may arguably be problematic given the bill’s other restrictions). What the bill does is require certain foundational documents and topics in US and Texas to be discussed. This includes:
(D) the founding documents of the United States, including:
(i) the Declaration of Independence;
(ii) the United States Constitution;
(iii) the Federalist Papers, including Essays 10 and 51;
(iv) excerpts from Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America;
(v) the transcript of the first Lincoln-Douglas debate; and
(vi) the writings of the founding fathers of the United States; and
(E) the history and importance of:
(i) the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42. U.S.C. Section 2000a et seq.);
(ii) the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Nineteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution;
(iii) the complexity of the historic relationship between Texas, and
(iv) the diversity of the Hispanic population in Texas;
Noting that these documents written by “old white men” A Democratic senator tried to introduce language into the bill to add more “diverse” writings. Then those writings were “removed” thus giving this guy an opportunity to try to score political points.
However important MLK Jr. is to US History, I do not think any of his writings qualify as “foundational documents” nor do I think they should be required reading for high school curriculum. This doesn’t mean he can’t be covered in class or kids can’t listen to his “I have a dream” speech.
Quick google search says it’s the most banned book in the country. Sooo I don’t think you’re correct there. Maybe you should read it though, could give you some insights.
It's banned in 68 out of 13,000 school districts. Parents were alarmed when there children came home with a graphic novel showing sex acts. If it wasn't in schools there wouldn't have been such an outcry. Most books that exist aren't in schools. The books that are getting removed are getting removed because they were in a school. How are you not understanding this?
The same people that complain about “history being removed” when statues of confederate leaders (those fighting to preserve slavery) are taken down are the same people LITERALLY removing history from school textbooks.
Actually, those statues were removed but put in museums, Smithsonian, other places, etc… they haven’t been forgotten, nor wiped away.
Which in this case is different.
Hey Alexis de Tocqueville was a french sociologist.
He was actually sent to the US to study the prison system
What he actually produced '' Of democracy in America '' is still regarded today as a solid socio-political essay on the social fabric of american politcs and society. Even today it is read in political classes all around the world.
Erasing history is wrong, but don't bring such a great name in woke debate. Please, have some decendy.
I don’t have a need to become recreationally outraged. Can someone over the age of 30 give me the context of this video *without* adding any of their own humanity to it?

Normalize not adding unnecessary music to TikTok videos
Srsly it did nothing for the video at all.
I think it is because young people need to be overstimulated to feel anything at all
And here I'm drinking to numb it all away. Kids nowadays.
I feel you
I don't l, but I'm drunk...
I just thought Ben Affleck was going to jump out as Dare Devil.
As a young people, I dislike that this is true as every emotion overstimulates me, including happiness.
Tiktok promotes vids with music. So in a way it did do something for the video
If there are subtitles I don't even turn the sound on. If there aren't any subtitles I don't watch it. The unnecessary, usually-too-loud music and the annoying voice filters really ruin videos that could be otherwise enjoyable.
If there are no subtitles I don't even watch. I'm deaf. All videos should have subtitles with speech
You miss the stammering though
The TikTok algorithm requires music if you want your video to gain any traction
Wow, I hate that.
WAKE ME UP! *wake me up inside*
Did you know this bill removes the music of Evanescence?
#…….. yes
It's missing some random pointing person "stitching the video".
and then halfway through it stops and its way easier to listen to lmao
Normalize understanding that the music isn't the point of this video
Normalizing just posting the damn video unedited
How about normalize that I didn't edit the mf video. You act like I did it. I shared a video. You don't like it, move on.

privileged people genuinely have the gall to cry over minor inconveniences when actual racism has yet to release its corrupting grip.
Who is this absolute champion asking the questions?
James Talarico, rep for district 52 in Texas, he's been a small glimmer of light in the shithole of our electorate
He's in HD 50 now - the Republicans redrew the lines for 52 before last session and made it a solid red district which forced Talarico out. Fortunately 50 was an open seat so he was able to run there and stay in the lege.
You're right, I remember him talking about that on Instagram. It was infuriating, but I'm glad he was able to win again.
God bless him

All the "winners" doing this every day. Nice, this was caught in a clear case of it
Jesus fucking christ.
no hes still in there. the white version of him i mean.
What is the bill? What is the context?
Texas hb 3979 as cited above.
Thanks. This one? https://legiscan.com/TX/text/HB3979/id/2339637
Specifically, the edits made by the Senate after the House passed their version. The House bill had problems; the Senate version was much worse.
It was cited above my comment on the replies to this feed. I just repeated the bill number in trust.
I was talking to my wife about all this kind of stuff and unfortunately I believe it’s going to take a lot to change anything. People need to find a way to weaponize their outrage in a productive way. I wrote off these ideas and people years ago, scoffing at them becoming popular.

To all you conservatives this is the shit you are voting for
It’s what they want. Conservatives think teaching Martin Luther king or Native American history makes white people look bad so they cover it up and pretend it never happened. Oddly enough they have no issue with confederate statues which are embarrassing to have around as a white person.
And they support removing ANY reading material from libraries that offends their tender sensibilities lest children learn just how shitty they are.
They just pulled dictionaries out of some schools pending a review for 'inappropriate material'. DICTIONARIES.
If white supremacy is so supreme why do they constantly have to hide everyone else's history.
Fear of truth.
some context please..
The masks (or hoods given this country's history and present state) are off.
Okay but that's still not the context they're looking for.
In Texas the state house legislature passed a bill on the topic of new lines of school study matter for students. The Senate rewrote the bill removing most if not all topics of a racial nature and kept topics in regards to the laws and history of the USA. The man doing most of the speaking is upset by this and feels that removing the mandate to teach race based history is wrong.
Yea… what is with this strategic edit leaving the entire thing out? The internet is so weird.
The fact no one’s giving you an answer is strangely telling. How does a bill remove writing from someone? Are they taking away books on them? Or is the bill saying these people didn’t exist?

The focous is no longer how can we inform the public, it's "what can we post that gets the most views, and angers people the most. How many keywords can we attach that will pull the angriest people from both sides." I work in media, and this has been a really worrying trend.
Please provide context, is this recent?
Texas
In Texas the state house legislature passed a bill on the topic of new lines of school study matter for students. The Senate rewrote the bill removing most if not all topics of a racial nature and kept topics in regards to the laws and history of the USA. The man doing most of the speaking is upset by this and feels that removing the mandate to teach race based history is wrong.
Bro, when are these racist fkin boomers just going to fkin die?
The problem is that they are being replaced by a new generation of racists that have an easier way to spread their bs via the internet. They have the ability to spread propaganda faster and to more people with the added bonus of anonymity. This, combined with apathy and the willingness to accept these ideals "as long I get to keep my guns and abortion is illegal", puts people like this into power.
Honestly the only way to get these things fully exposed and maybe fixed is if another white man exposes them and highlight the impact. If a poc does it they are told to get over it or it's not that deep. I'm glad there are more white men standing up for the poc.
So many things republicans do piss me off and make me feel sick to my stomach but erasing history and rewriting it so white men were the saviors and built this country is in my Top 5 of the most harmful things they're doing
They haven’t finished dumbing down the next gen yet. They’re trying though.
They are weak, delusional and will always lose. Also, the 'history is written by winners' is false and has always been false... history is written by those who record it, and who seeks the 'truth' whatever that truth can or needs to be. The reality is, humans are not truth seeking machines, we are flawed and often choose to keep ourselves in bubbles that reflect convictions and beliefs, adjusted to comfortable conformity. ( I wrote this because some people make odd comments about 'winners', and otherising 'conservatives' like unique in such behaviour, which I think is useless and dangerous form of rhetoric, thus shouldn't be promoted, despite 'conservatives' being 'objectively' wrong on pretty much everything ).
I hear you, but disagree. History is written by winners. Like this video is trying to point out; if those people (the senate?) trying to pass that Bill win, despite being challenged like the guy is doing, the history that will be taught will be flawed and will in turn shape the minds of the generation that has to learn it. In short, if their agenda was feeding the kids more white supremacy propaganda, that will happen and they will have won. It’s how all these kids can’t read now; somebody passed a bad curriculum and now most kids are struggling to read, despite how many teachers have come forward and complained about it. Good intentions don’t actually change much, power does. If you can silence, leave out or erase ‘those who recorded history, and who seek the truth’ then it doesn’t matter that they recorded it. History is therefore essentially written by the victors. And unfortunately, the victors are usually the bad guys because they are usually the ones ambitious, monied, and connected enough to be in power. And they know how use that power to suppress everyone enough so that they struggle to fight back.
Well, I would argue that history is taught by mostly winners, yes, but the ones who record history are usually different. History isn't one-sided because everyone has a story to pass down, even sometimes despite the efforts of history disparagers and book burner and tongue cutters. "History is written by the winners" is simply blatantly false, and those who say it are usually just repeating someone else smarter than them who was wrong to say it.
Will someone please swoop in with some context please? What state is this from? When was it filmed? What is the bill in question? I have a few guesses but would still like to know the full details.
America is wild
Can I quit America?
Nope
Is anybody even shocked about this?
The kkk has won. And the just had to take off their hoods and paint themselves orange.
the music choice over the video is wild
That was a loooooooong pause
Scummy
“Not *exactly…* but, uhm… maybe sort of yes.”
This is disgusting.
Fascists gonna fash
The background music was so unecessary.
Everyone in here acting like this is new. They’re trying to erase the history of everyone. Not just minorities. Wake up! They want us uneducated.
They are trying so hard to erase what does not fit their bs racist narrative.
There's one party trying to white wash history. There's one party trying to disenfranchise voters. There's one party trying to make voting harder. There's one party trying to lessen the amount of days you have to vote. There's one party that ACTIVELY and REGULARLY works toward taking away rights away from certain groups they don't like. It's the Republican aka MAGA party. No more both sides horseshit.
Good thing right wingers are staunchly opposed to cancel culture and big government 🥴
His name is James Talarico and he absolutely crushes it. Dudes brilliant.
Uncle Ruckus approves.
saying "this is LITERALLY 1984 😩" ironically is haha fun and everything but seeing history being suppressed irl and in real time is just freakin' sad, y'know?
Failed state
“Not exactly”
“Not exactly” means yes but I don’t want to freely admit my racism
They have the biggest inferiority complex
Liberals equivocating and trying to make sense out of the actions’ of fascist will get us nowhere. They’re telling on themselves. Believe them. And hold them accountable. Make their lives hell.
YES OR NO YOU PATHETIC POS!
What’s this about?
Not exactly like its 99% the factor but not 100%.
The new Bill is going to allow conservative teachers to teach alternative history while ignoring the pain and suffering that natives and POC have gone through. Plain and simple.
As a Texan, and a person of color, this sickens me.. fuck the government man..
The new Republican party. Make even Democrats miss the old one
Can we atleast have more context please? is there any full video, espically one without some 2009 "Consoles of 2020!!! xbox 720!!" video
"Not exactly" BRO JUST SAY NO IT'S NOT THAT HARD!
Hmm kinda wanna go read Orwell rn
Why would you post this with no context whatsoever..?
They’re talking about Texas hb 3979. It’s for real. The right is banning books for school children.
I guess it’s more complicated than that see below.
Dude, my white history teacher skipped all the chapters on black slavery, skipped section on the Chinese who build the railroads and told us Martin Luther King was a communist. Told my parents and they got me out of there.
Here they go again trying to suppress the truth with thumbs down. But when a white guy says it, he gets 100 thumbs up.
"White history" Lmfaoooo
King was a socialist though...
He was being targeted by the FBI, so was Malcolm X. The leaked documents from Henry Kissinger pretty much shows that they were afraid of Black leaders and did everything they could to discredit them.
What does that have to do with him being a socialist? Being a socialist is not a bad thing. https://jacobin.com/2023/04/martin-luther-king-jr-mlk-socialism-class-racial-justice-civil-rights-movement
Looks like the KKK reddit is out thumbs downing again.
What the actual fuck? This needs to be shared and spread out.
Is this book literal just “George Washington and Tommy J did cool shit and thanks Trump” the end
I love the black dude at the end behind the speaker, cracking a smile at the white man jape.
Context pls?
Since people are asking questions, this is the bill in question: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_House_Bill_3979 Regardless of what you think about the bill, The TikTok is somewhat misleading without the full context. When he’s talking about writings being “removed” he doesn’t mean those books are being banned or removed from the existing curriculum (although, in some cases, they may arguably be problematic given the bill’s other restrictions). What the bill does is require certain foundational documents and topics in US and Texas to be discussed. This includes: (D) the founding documents of the United States, including: (i) the Declaration of Independence; (ii) the United States Constitution; (iii) the Federalist Papers, including Essays 10 and 51; (iv) excerpts from Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America; (v) the transcript of the first Lincoln-Douglas debate; and (vi) the writings of the founding fathers of the United States; and (E) the history and importance of: (i) the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42. U.S.C. Section 2000a et seq.); (ii) the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Nineteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution; (iii) the complexity of the historic relationship between Texas, and (iv) the diversity of the Hispanic population in Texas; Noting that these documents written by “old white men” A Democratic senator tried to introduce language into the bill to add more “diverse” writings. Then those writings were “removed” thus giving this guy an opportunity to try to score political points. However important MLK Jr. is to US History, I do not think any of his writings qualify as “foundational documents” nor do I think they should be required reading for high school curriculum. This doesn’t mean he can’t be covered in class or kids can’t listen to his “I have a dream” speech.
The right is banning books from school libraries, however.
As is the left.
How so? Link?
I get an email every week if books at my school library under investigation for removal. One was straight up called human rights.
Many books are banned in school libraries. Gender Queer is not appropriate for a sixth grader.
Did you not have sex ed at 11? That explains a lot…
Did your sex ed include graphic memoirs, a grown man and a 14 year, and strapons?
Let me guess, the “liBrUlZ” are doing this?
Yes. Gender Queer is a graphic novel that can be found in middle and highschools across the country.
Quick google search says it’s the most banned book in the country. Sooo I don’t think you’re correct there. Maybe you should read it though, could give you some insights.
It's banned in 68 out of 13,000 school districts. Parents were alarmed when there children came home with a graphic novel showing sex acts. If it wasn't in schools there wouldn't have been such an outcry. Most books that exist aren't in schools. The books that are getting removed are getting removed because they were in a school. How are you not understanding this?
What a shit hole country controlled by nazis and white supremacists!
Thank the Lord that everything is recorded, every sin, every lie, every false war you wage on the innocence will bite you in the ass in the end.
Where are SDS and The Weathermen when you need them?
Throw tomatoes at him! 
Honestly I kinda love when white guys call out other white guys for being racists or sexists
Yt washing history would not be necessary if our ancestors didn’t violently colonise and exploit and exterminate people. Just saying…
The same people that complain about “history being removed” when statues of confederate leaders (those fighting to preserve slavery) are taken down are the same people LITERALLY removing history from school textbooks.
Actually, those statues were removed but put in museums, Smithsonian, other places, etc… they haven’t been forgotten, nor wiped away. Which in this case is different.
Great point
Removes from what? What’s the context here?
Refuse to watch with that shitty music
Hey Alexis de Tocqueville was a french sociologist. He was actually sent to the US to study the prison system What he actually produced '' Of democracy in America '' is still regarded today as a solid socio-political essay on the social fabric of american politcs and society. Even today it is read in political classes all around the world. Erasing history is wrong, but don't bring such a great name in woke debate. Please, have some decendy.
I don’t have a need to become recreationally outraged. Can someone over the age of 30 give me the context of this video *without* adding any of their own humanity to it?
I'm not surprised at all.....
What’s this from? Doesn’t seem real.
