Thought it was solid. Definitely explains those on the left who denounce all opposition as racists. A nice explanation if the origins of BLM. I thought they went too hard on the denouncement of Christianity but were appropriate in hammering the lack of black males leading households as the cause of problems in the community.

It is amazing that in the '90s, we had as the greatest:

TV Personality: Oprah
Richest Person: Oprah
Basketball Player: Michael Jordan
Golfer: Tigger Woods
SCOTUS: Clarence Thomas (Maybe 2nd. )
Miss America: Carole Ann-Marie Gist
Black President: Bill Clinton
Greatest Female Athlete: Serena Williams

I remember believing racism was put to rest forever.

And yet, America was "racist" and "oppressive."

Good point, and I'll add thousands of white kids driving around singing Dr. Dre songs, who made millions in the 90's.

A post without context is useless around here, homie.

Got a link? A blurb? A summary?


Apologies. This was a follow up to the original documentary Uncle Tom. This one covers the creation of BLM and the influence that Marxism has had in the civil rights movement.

Explains why BLM kept requesting an end to the nuclear family. Offers some great historical insight into Black Wall street in Tulsa and Harlem.

How about the list of rappers from the 90s?

Tupac
Notorius BIG
Outcast
Ice Cube
Wu-Tang Clan
N.W.A
Eminem

Every one of them was constantly on the airwaves with Top 40 hit after hit in the 90s. Sure is odd for such a racist country to popularize so many ethnic artists.

And no list of the Best of The 90s would be complete without top Murderer & Defense Attorney!

O.J. Simpson & Johnnie Cochran were certainly the best in their respective fields during the 90s.

How 'racist' and 'oppressive' is America when a jury of his peers acquits a man of color on murder charges of his white wife!!!

America as a whole isn't racist or repressive by any means. That being said, it's not a stretch to say that there are Americans who are racist and act oppressive toward minorities through acts of violence, intimidation, or their choice of words.

Tiger Woods is a great example. I remember when Tiger won his first Masters in Augusta one of the golfers said something about fried chicken and collard greens that were seen as racist at the time. the same golfer said something similar to another black golfer a few days later. Does that mean every white golfer is racist, of course not, but to say there are no racists in golf because Tiger beat them all is not true.

George Allen, the former senator from Virginia, used the word "Macaca" in reference to an Indian American that was covering his campaign stop. He said, "This fellow here over here with the yellow shirt, Macaca, or whatever his name is. He's with my opponent.... Let's give a welcome to Macaca, here. Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia." The Indian American he was talking about was born in Fairfax, Virginia.

Does that mean every republican politician is a racist or speaks in racist dog whistles? Of course not, but to say racists in the true meaning of the definition don't exist, again, is not true.

That was before Trump started polling at historic levels in polling of black Americans by the spring of 2020. Something had to be done about that. So a new astroturf campaign by news media as well as social media was born that summer. A tragic event was used to create a new/old narrative that American is more racist than ever.

Playing on a stereotype that blacks people like fried chicken & greens IS NOT racism. Racism involves the belief that one race is superior to another or the exercise of power in an unfair manner against another bc of their race. Stereotyping and prejudging is not racism.

No one has ever said that there are not racist people in America. The two examples you gave were not of people engaging in racist behavior. The issue MOST people have with the claims of racism in America today are that people keep making false claims of systemic racism when none exists.

I thought it was well done. I like how it highlighted the differences between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois and their approaches on how to gain equality in America.

Yeah, I would go with Mia Hamm as best female athlete in the 90's.

If you go back to the 80s, the favorite dad was Dr. Huxtable, the favorite comedian was Eddie Murphy. America has been accepting for decades.
