The Fabricated Memory of January 6th
By James Watkins
We in America have a collective memory of what slavery was like in the 19th century. And when I say we have a collective memory, I mean we share a fabricated collective memory. Slavery was real, but no one today has a real memory of it.
Our collective memory comes from television shows like Roots and movies like Speilberg’s Amistad and The Color Purple. It comes from every movie you've ever seen about slavery in the United States. And so, as a collective culture, we think that because we've seen these films, we have an authentic memory of what slavery was like when we are only remembering someone else’s portrayal -- someone else's idea of what they think happened. Whether it's Alex Haley or Quentin Tarantino, we have someone else's presentation.
The same thing is now happening with the Democrats when they're recalling January 6th. The Democrat Party has created a fake and fabricated memory of January 6th. They did it with the help of ABC News, with the editors, camera crews, and the post-production people to create a memory that would be played over and over in the media to create a collective memory of an insurrection.
