@Oliver Von arx and a war on poor people is, by default, primarily a war on black people in a country where systematic racism rooted in hundreds of years of slavery has trapped black communities in poverty at staggeringly disproportionate rates. obviously the "war" destroyed the lives of other poor people and communities too, but socioeconomics reveals all too quickly who the main target was/is

It's 17+ for a reason. It's political propaganda and it would be unethical to show this to children.

Trevor Chester Would you mind elaborating on what you specifically find to be propagandistic about this documentary, or what parts you disagree with the presentation of?

@John Smith ok so here we have a literal documentary calling out and exposing racism and systemic oppression in america backed up by evidence and statistics and literal audio and video proof and you're suggesting that it's not credible because there's no 'opposing view' i understand the problems with only one view but honestly what is an example of the opposing view that is honest and factual.

@John Smith Yeah, sometimes you shouldn't teach the "opposing view." Like, if you're teaching a course on World War II, you shouldn't have the students read books written by Holocaust deniers.

@John Smith To answer your question of why not, I'd say: 1. It's a waste of time. If you're teaching geography it would be a waste of time to make the kids watch a flat earth documentary. It's hard enough getting the kids to learn the things they're supposed to, without muddying the waters. 2. Mentioning the opposing viewpoint isn't the same as teaching the opposing viewpoint. It's fine for a World War II professor to say, some people deny the holocaust and here's why they're wrong. But to assign a book by David Irving and have the students read it would be a dereliction of duty. 3. Some people are stupid. The idea that sunlight is the best disinfectant and that truth will out in the marketplace of ideas: that works fine as long as you have a populace of reasonable, fairly intelligent people who sincerely want to know the truth. The problem is that there are stupid people who are easily duped by pseudoscience and there are corrupt people who profit off of lying to the stupid people. Alex Jones for instance, a literal snake oil salesman.

They do eventually expose themselves, thinking they’re so smart and righteous and their arrogance will be their biggest downfall by thinking we are all so common and stupid and below them. Looking around, clearly that’s not true. All of this has pushed so many people to educate themselves and that’s what they’re afraid of. Too late for them, we’re waking up and a lot of people been wise to the lie for decades.

Which is publicly available and is objective evidence.

That there's never enough Time, Energy, People, Hours, etc. That we can't just say "Okay we're going to spend most of our efforts on JUST Systemic Issues involving the Criminal Justice System. THEN in 5 years, we'll be able to focus all our efforts on Racism. Then after that we can work on this other issue." type of thing. Though I AM really glad that the Psychology community at large is at least trying to take the issue of racism seriously, and has made progress. Including finding out that an older way of dealing with things wasn't working, so now they're doing things differently. About how even in my own school, the attention focused on social justice issues is quite a bit. Including watching this video as a Grad School Assignment for one of my classes. To say nothing of how much bigger and more popular BLM is this time around compared to when it first started. In my hometown awhile back, we had a great BLM parade/march thing that was really cool. It went on for I think 1.5 miles or so and lasted over an hour! There were people of all Races there, and even some signs about how Black Trans Lives matter

Kaneisha Woods One thing that can be done to make the problem of incarceration better in the US would be to undo the legislation of politicians like Joe Biden and allow for the legal purchase of drugs. If it becomes legal for pharmacies to make the drugs legally and it’s illegal to make drugs on the streets, people can use drugs without facing criminal charges, the instances of overdoses declines, and gangs lose power, because people will go to pharmacies instead of gangs for their drugs now. This doesn’t stop all crimes and won’t stop people from going to jail for breaking other laws, but it should make a very big improvement

Lincoln and the Civil War was not about Slavery... “I declare that I have no purpose, directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.” - Abraham Lincoln 1860 After Lincoln was elected, he made further efforts to to placate the South and maintain the Union and the institution of slavery by giving his blessing to the Corwin Amendment to the Constitution. It went even further than the infamous Dred Scott decision of 1857 which concluded that no black person (slave or non-slave) could claim U.S. citizenship. The Corwin Amendment stated, “No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State.” - Corwin Amendment The Corwin Amendment not only protected the institution of slavery, but included language to make itself unamendable so that no future amendment to the Constitution could undo it. Essentially this first version of the 13th Amendment secured slavery as a permanent institution in America. The Corwin Amendment won the required two-thirds support in both the Senate and House and was then ratified by a number of states including Ohio, Maryland, and Illinois later that year. However, the outbreak of the Civil War, fortunately, interrupted its complete ratification as the final version of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. Yes, that’s right. The original, and now forgotten 13th Amendment was one that protected slavery instead of abolishing it, as the later version of the amendment did in 1865. You won’t read that in most American history books, or hear about it in the movie, Lincoln. “If the shoe fits, wear it, If New York’s in debt, why should Virginia bear it? Uh… Our debts are paid, I’m afraid, Don’t tax the South cuz we got it made in the shade. In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground, We create, you just wanna move our money around!” - Hamilton (Musical), Cabinet Battle #1 The Tariff of 1828 called the, “Black Tariff” or “Tariff of Abomination,” (meaning, “the most evil thing ever,”) the tariff was created to repay the national debt after the War of 1812. However, by 1832 the national debt was paid and there was no reason for such high taxes. The tariff had created a favorable situation for the North, who benefited greatly from such high taxes. The South produced and exported most of the goods in America, and under the tariff, that resulted in the South paying about 75% of all taxes in America. The tariff also prevented them from buying European imports because after taxes were collected they were too costly. This meant that the South’s only option was to buy from the North. It seemed that either way the South’s money was ending up in the North, and Southerners resented the arrangement. President Andrew Jackson was able to reduce some of the taxes on the South in the Great Compromise of 1833, but the same year the Force Bill was passed that allowed the government to collect federal tariffs from states by any means necessary, including by force. The seeds of the Civil War had been sown. Lincoln's first inaugural address on March 4, 1861, he threatened “invasion” and “bloodshed" in any state that refused to collect the federal tariff tax on imports, which had just been more than doubled two days earlier. At the time, tariffs accounted for more than 90 percent of all federal tax revenue, so this was a gigantic tax increase. This is how Lincoln threatened war in his first official oration: “The power confided in me will be used to hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the government, and to collect the duties and imposts; but beyond what may be necessary for these objects, there will be no invasion, no using of force against or among the people anywhere.” But of course the states of the lower South, having seceded, did not intend to “collect the duties and imposts” and send the money to Washington, D.C. Lincoln committed treason (as defined by Article 3, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution) by levying war upon the free and independent states, which he always considered to be a part of the American union. By his own admission (and his subsequent actions), he invaded his own country over tax collection. The Republican Party of 1860 was the party of protectionism and high tariffs. The Confederate Constitution had outlawed protectionist tariffs altogether. The result would have been a massive diversion of world trade to the Southern ports which would have forced the U.S. government to reduce its desired 50 percent average tariff rate to competitive levels (10-15 percent), depriving Northern manufacturers of this veiled form of corporate welfare, and depriving the government of the revenue it needed to pursue its “manifest destiny” of a mercantilist empire complete with massive subsidies for railroad corporations (among others). Lincoln’s dilemma was that he knew he would be condemned worldwide for waging a bloody war over tax collection. Another excuse for war had to be invented, so he invented the notion of the “mystical,” permanent, and non-voluntary union. He did not want to be seen as the aggressor in his war for tariff revenue, so he hatched a plot to trick Southerners into firing the first shot by sending American warships to Charleston Harbor while steadfastly refusing to meet with Confederate peace commissioners or discuss the purchase of federal property by the Confederate government. He understood that the Confederates would not tolerate a foreign fort on their property any more than George Washington would have tolerated a British fort in New York or Boston Harbors. Quite a few Northern newspapers recognized the game Lincoln was playing. On April 16, 1861the Buffalo Daily Courier editorialized that “The affair at Fort Sumter . . has been planned as a means by which the war feeling at the North should be intensified” (Howard Cecil Perkis, Northern Editorials on Secession). The New York Evening Day Book wrote on April 17, 1861, that the event at Fort Sumter was “a cunningly devised scheme” contrived “to arouse, and, if possible, exasperate the northern people against the South.” “Look at the facts,” the Providence Daily Post wrote on April 13, 1861. “For three weeks the [Lincoln] administration newspapers have been assuring us that Ford Sumter would be abandoned,” but “Mr. Lincoln saw an opportunity to inaugurate civil war without appearing in the character of an aggressor.” The Jersey City American Standard editorialized that “there is a madness and ruthlessness” in Lincoln’s behavior, concluding that Lincolns sending of ships to Charleston Harbor was “a pretext for letting loose the horrors of war.” After Fort Sumter, on May 1, 1861, Lincoln wrote to his naval commander, Captain Gustavus Fox, to say that “You and I both anticipated that the cause of the country [i.e., a civil war] would be advanced by making the attempt to provision Fort Sumter, even if it should fail; and it is no small consolation now to feel that our anticipation is justified by the result.” He was thanking Captain Fox for his role in duping the Confederates into firing upon Fort Sumter (where no one was either killed or wounded). He was thanking Captain Fox for his assistance in starting the war. Lincoln responded with a full-scale invasion of all the Southern states and a four-year war that, according to the latest research, was responsible for as many as 850,000 American deaths with more than double that number maimed for life. Its only because of Lincoln destroyed the 10th Amendment, and set a very dangerous precedent of Federal government having authority over individual State's rights. In his zeal to "preserve the union," he trampled on the sovereignty of the Southern states. We are paying a heavy price for that today. Individual states today who wish to enact their own laws or policies can no longer do that, thanks to Lincoln. Lincoln did NOT free slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation freed ONLY slaves in states that were fighting for the Confederacy. E.P did NOT free slaves in states fighting for the Union. The E.P. was a political / economical move to punish states who dared stand up to the power of the federal government.

It's been two weeks since you posted this comment. Did it work?

@@sagecaddenhead506 honestly I'm not sure. I didn't receive a response after sending it to her so likely not, but I'm still hoping!

Funny you say that, I am holding a live streaming viewing of this in my online classes tomorrow!

@@dr.deborahbarr4389 way to go!

@@dr.deborahbarr4389 Hopefully a classroom of adults. Otherwise that would be pretty unethical.

@@blahblahsuperanon It's 17+ because it's political propaganda.

Trevor Chester the filmmaker herself said it was a story that wasn’t flattering to either Republicans or Democrats. not propaganda.

Mine too!

Jay Z helped produce a documentary about him...Broke my heart😢. It's called: Time: The Kalief Browder Story

Hi

R.I.P Mr. Carlin. You are missed in days like these. Great quote!

Owning a gun is a RIGHT. Saying "felons" can't own them is acknowledging that it isn't. That law is very racist and the fact is too many blacks are "felons". I have little faith anything will change even in light of recent situation. The whole country is divided.

@@taiwanluthiers "Saying 'felons' can't own them is acknowledging that it isn't." Bovine Scat. "No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ... " ~ Fifth Amendment " ... nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ... " ~ Fourteenth Amendment Felons are convicted in courts by due process of law. Thus, they can be deprived of their 2nd Amendment liberties.

@Remote Expedition You have a twisted view of things. There are people falsely convicted of all races and there are people that have been released of all races. Same thing with police, everyone is a risk for police brutality. You are one of those people that refuses to acknowledge that certain demographics commit more crime, run into police the most and therefore get arrested the most.

@@taiwanluthiers Remember this country's history. It was set up against the will of the people. This country was founded for White men, not First people. The USA was never meant for Africans, either. We weren't brought here for our good. We were never supposed to be citizens of this country. Today this country is still what it has always been, which is the occupation of N. America. How could this country not be divided. It's kind of funny to me to hear White people talk about how divided this country is "becoming." We may all be connected to this land, but The USA means something different to White people than it does for a lot of others. I don't know how people over look that.

Like they said in the film, people need to be shocked into the movement or else nothing gets done.

what other documentaries would you recommend to watch?

@@paramparam5365 Strong Island on Netflix, unless you are asking other than the struggle docs.

without relatively, all humor is racism.

@@paramparam5365 I strongly recommend "The House I Live In" which is about the war on drugs. I think it's even better than 13th.

exactly. so misleading

His comments about the Central Park 5 should’ve been enough for you to see what kind of man he was and still is.

Man i hope he doesn't have to endure much more just because he doesn't share the same political values as his captures. I hope he gets back to his family ASAP Alex. If all he is, is a political prisoner then he has my sympathy. I'll remember his name. God bless and fingers crossed.

@TheSatireGames not gonna lie though the editing was cool.

That's a real shame. Hope life picks up

The victimhood narrative must continue to sustain the white liberal savior complex

@Brian Weatherman offended because of the truth

Thanks for caring.

Hope Taiwan will get the recognition that it deserves. Much love

Respect to the people of Serbia. Stand strong for the same goals.

Share it with your family/friends who still are blind about it. And tell 'em also to share it with their friends. You can take ur part by doing that. Thnx
