Oh my "Woke'ness" NO THANKS. I love America !
Also if ya dig this hippy video on youtube 😀 you may enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on UA-cam. 😀
One of my german ancestors owned a beer garden probably opposed women's suffrage.
Many people (especially Americans themselves) give too much credit to the USA's mightiness. They forgot the Vietnam outcome.
I was 12 when this happened.. I was the only black kid in class and the only one in class for at least a week...the KKK was there... I went to a white school..they were bussing white kids to black schools...The Klan came to my H.S..the Klan burned a 12' cross in our front yard for all to see..
You mean you haven’t redone all this historical footage and replaced the victims with black actors? Wow!
The fact is, when marginalized groups riot, they drive the people they need help from to move far, far away.
Rest in peace Topsy, Jumbo, Black Diamond, Mary, and Tyke. Victums of humanity.
Thank you
Sex=gender? Kiss your career goodbye, PBS boy, yonder come the angry hashtag armies!
Great! First time introductions to Dr. Zora Neale Hurston, she was before her time, she was Greatness of the study of her peope rising above the injustice of this life that the world resisted to allow her to express how intelligent we were without the best things, on this earth, but with the best from our Heavenly Father who gives to those who seek after His wheel for our life to bless other to understand the transition in our lives without the education that was denied us, but we came out better than they expected ❤🎉!!!

How to see chapter two and beyond?
What is strange to me is that I’m a heterosexual woman and I could not stand wearing dresses or heals. This is so confusing. But they seem like some of the nicest people. Live and let live.
Beautiful documentary. Wonderful commentary and imagery.
It breaks my heart that this mad violence towards the LGBTQ+ community happened in earlier decades because the irony of this content was present back in the ancient Greek/Roman eras. Plus, I don’t recall this being touched on during school. I may not be queer but I'm still exploring who I am. I'm an ally to those of the Pride community, a strong and kind person for someone to lean on and say you're not alone. I thank those at Stonewall for fighting every day and giving them a flame of courage and to fight. The future lies in the hands of the younger generations. Fight hard, proud, and strong. Vote!🫂
Dr. Pauli Murray was instrumental in getting “sex” added to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Thankful to those who came before us.
The black families were told “yes our children are sick because you’re not taking good care of them!” Such complete ignorance and stupidity which still exists today! This shows another way that RENT and mortgages should not exist! People who own rental properties are SLAVE owners who don’t care if their renters get sick and are dying! It’s capitalism!
31:59 how is this a revelation regarding an employer’s inherent indifference towards their workers well-being and ability to support themselves and their families? They still don’t care! They’re still enslaving people all over the world! We are enslaving the Chinese and many others, in order to get a “better deal” on merchandise! And not a whisper of concern is mentioned about it! Greed doesn’t care how rich you already are, it’s an addiction to profit that’s seen as “success” or “business savvy” but it’s a cancer that kills everyone.
Hank Leyvas was my uncle.
Nixon was "defeated" by the same people that "defeated" Trump.
In United States history, the Gilded Age is described as the period from about the late 1870s to the late 1890s, which occurred between the Reconstruction Era and the Progressive Era. It was named by 1920s historians after an 1873 Mark Twain novel, although its publication was in the Reconstruction Era. Historians saw late 19th-century economic expansion as a time of materialistic excesses marked by widespread political corruption. source Wikipedia 😃
why were these court justices and politicians that espoused this horror still given honorifics in this piece. Not enough explicit overt negative opposition was given against these ideas throughout this is a dangerous thing for actual idiots to watch
Dang-America has always been evil.
7.1.24😊
Overturning of the Chevron Ruling by the supreme court, along with the dangers of Project 2025 in dismantling federal agencies like the EPA and other regulatory bodies, brought me here. Folks, Love Canal is what happens when you do not have any kind of oversight of industrial practices.
And this is why I don't trust Christian conservatives.
Still have corrupt monopolies, bribery lying, and oppression of the working man. Its disgusting rich get richer while killing hard working people that just survive. Same names same game elites care nothing about people just money
That saved his ass but too bad his was shittin himself and drooling 4 years later
The south is the worst.
I heard about how this brother was abused. As much as I want to watch this documentary, I can't watch it.
Thanks
Bush movie marker.
This is a one sided storyline for it excludes the fact the blacks were excluded from all the opportunities open to whites!
This country doesnt care about anyone but the scum that run it.
I’m so so interested in how hormones vs genetics vs the sexual characteristics you’re born with affect conditions. After being on testosterone for 3+ years now I have noticed several subtle health changes. But my friend who is also trans has a chronic blaster condition that was completely debilitating for years until they started taking testosterone and they now can live a really normal life-moreover their doctor knew that higher testosterone does provide significant relief for this condition but never bothered to mention this because he assumed that they (presenting as a woman at the time) would rather be legally disabled than have the masculinizing affects of testosterone
That doesn’t mean that the communists weren’t in government.
Autogynephilia.
LET WOMEN SPEAK! Don't claim to uphold free speech, propagandists... Censoring comments won't save your "community" from the ignominy. History will report on your shame. WPATH files, Cass Report. This is no phenomena to be proud of... it IS misogyny.

TURKEY WAS BİG COUNTRY AND HERO
Seriously? They were brave, I'll grant you. Though many, many things had happened in Virginia by this time. The Pilgrims intended to go to Virginia, but somehow ended up on Plymouth Rock. There would still be an America if the hadn't come here. Also, the stories of the establishment of the other colonies is often neglected. Many of those were compelling also.
This video was Extremely helpful!!
It is so ironically appropriate that these men who develop these tests were themselves so ignorant.
