I am going to watch this bit of anti-white/anti-southern propaganda just on the remote off-chance that they MIGHT show both sides of the issue. We all know they won't because we all know that the blacks that came here as slaves are the natural masters of white men,and it was only because the unfair racist white men fought back that kept them down.
Not ONE word will be mentioned about them being sold into slavery by African tribal leaders,or that the first black slave "owned" in the English-speaking New World was an indentured servant forced into slavery by his BLACK boss,who took him to court to get him declared to be a slave.
Nope,this is all about getting the blacks fired up to vote Dim.
