If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it.

The subtitle could be "A Rejection of Victimhood", it highlights Black conservative voices like Candace Owens and Larry Elder.

It reviews the history of liberal policies in American politics, and eviscerates the fiction that Black struggles today are a result of 19th century slavery.

It also discusses the GOP missing out by not courting the Black vote, something I think is slowly changing.

And one of our very own, Damani Felder, is featured in it.

Boycott amazon prime to own the libs?

Such a pickle.

Jim Crow removed by 1880 all of the rights granted when slavery ended. That stayed in place until the 70s. Even after voting rights were granted it was another 20-30 years of legal redlining and legal banking/mortgage discrimination that kept blacks from being able to own homes in the white neighborhoods.
Otherwise, though, totally equal since 1865.

You're one of those idiots that believe banks metaphorically welcomed minorities through one door and whites through another in the 2000s, aren't you? You think banks forced minorities into predatory mortgage products they didn't understand because of racism, don't you?

You need to stop buying the propaganda, and start thinking for yourself.

Covenants are a much bigger obstacle to blacks moving into white neighborhoods than any bank or mortgage lender.

So my post was removed, but not expresswrittenconsent's? This board is as hypocritical as it comes.

Anyone who passed 8th grade American history knows the things i posted to be facts, I certainly wasn't trying to blow any minds, yet clearly several 16ers feel some kinda way.
Mostly, though, it was a response to the idiotic claim that since slavery ended in 1865, blacks of 2021 have "no excuses".

Thomas Sowell exposes the BS about mortgage discrimination in depth in several of his books. Of course libs like expresswrittenconsent would call him an Uncle Tom too. It's easier than dealing with the facts.

Thomas Sowell, PhD and fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, has gone well beyond 8th grade and he thinks your point of view is naive and wrong.

Perhaps your 8th grade teacher was a moron?

I know that we've all got varying and often conflicting political opinions on this board, but can we at least agree on one thing? "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Warrant is a pretty good song:

Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, and Damani Felder are clearly white supremacists.

Also, I haven't seen this documentary and it's unlikely that I will, but Thomas Sowell is great.

Now you're quoting your strawman? You have a career in corporate media if this laugh/cry messageboard contrarian thing doesn't work out for you.

Let me help you out here since you can't seem to follow: the OP nor anyone else on this thread said or even implied what you've claimed they said.

It's not the strawman's fault you are incapable of differentiating between your strawman's view that blacks have had equality since 1865 and a view that says a culture of victimhood, patronizing bigotry of low expectations, and liberal policies which disincentivize family and work are the much bigger issues in recent decades.

Why? Is this not a documentary that people can watch? Did you demand that the Last Dance thread be moved to the basketball board?

a political documentary on Q (i think q people were crazy and deserve most of their ridicule) is cool, but a political documentary (that an Aggie is actually on) regarding race is the wrong board?


ETA: I watched a bit of it, but not all. unfortunately, i've seen some of Dzousa's work, and i like this more than anything like that in terms of a "conservative documentary."

getting outside of the purely left/right issues, the most pressing things are the acceleration of single parent homes and welfare targeting black families in the last 40 years. i'm sure it's a bit more fleshed out if i watched it in its entirety.

I watched it and thought it was great and inspiring. I also enjoyed no safe spaces too which is also on amazon I believe.

I would love to sit down with your choice of a handful of 9th graders that will walk us though the mortgage discrimination issues of the 70s and 80s.

Oh goodie, two of the absolute worst posters on this entire website battling it out in a thread that will eventually get deleted. Goodbye and good luck, everyone!

Just watched No Safe Spaces after you mentioned it, thanks for the recommendation, it is also excellent.

The scene where Prager talks to to the Black students and they talk about 'generational oppression' is very telling, and gets back to the point of this thread.

Been wanting to watch this and glad I finally did. I didn't realize how damaging the welfare state was to the black family unit in the 1960s until you start looking at the numbers and effects after a single generation.

It's heartbreaking and maddening that the black community still votes for measures that decimate their agency and success.
