Really? Have you looked at virtually every position of power and wealth in this country? White. Male. Racism is about enforcing a system of power in which an advantaged majority enforces it's dominance over a disadvantaged minority. That simply isn't happening in America today. Virtually all wealth and power is in the hands of whites, especially wealthy whites.

Thanks! The composer, Tangelene Bolton, is terrific!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! We felt the FPS helped in so many ways to evoke the atmosphere, dread, and emotion we were looking for.

Thanks for watching!

Imagine a school system that taught truthful, accurate history … it would be the story of how a rich predatory oligarchic capitalist ruling class uses any and every divisive tool at its disposal to encourage working people to hate and blame each other for the economic conditions created for them all by the exploitative greedy capitalist economic model that makes the tiny rich minority ruling class richer and richer, while dividing and inciting and impoverishing a large portion of the working people, and only occasionally (from 1945 to 1971 in the USA, for example) permitting the existence of a mostly racially or ethnically homogeneous middle class to share any of the vast wealth generated by the capitalist nation. Race is a convenient idea with which from time to time and in place to place to divide the working class and get them to fight and defeat themselves, rather than see their shared interests and shared oppressor; the wealthy 2% who are the rich ownership class … the owners of the companies they work for. We DO now get to talk about race and racism and identify it for what it is; what we DONT get to do is identify whose interests it really serves and why a portion of the working class gets encouraged by our (rich capitalist) “leaders” to use race to blame their own problems upon, and as a rationale for an economic hierarchy that doesn’t actually economically favor the racial majority in any meaningful way that merits identifying with the rich ruling class, rather than with their fellow working class citizens of other races, religions, genders, sexual preferences, or whatever. What we need is a school system that shows throughout history how the aristocracy (whether by birth or by wealth) cynically employs throughout an variety of racial, ethnic, religious, nationalist, gender, sexuality, political views etc. to divide the massive majority of people they rule over in a struggle to render the common laboring people powerless against their greater wealth, power, and usually their legal monopoly on the legitimate use of weapons and violence in society. The rich and powerful NEED these ideas to control and manipulate the masses in order not to be overwhelmed by our massive majority numbers, and keep their unequal access to wealth, assets, resources, political power, and all the other products that come from living in an organized society. Economic hierarchy is maintained by ideas like race and ethnicity and religion, etc. We should not blame the racist for simply mimicking back what the ruling class relentlessly teaches them and reinforces by laws. We should show how these ideas are the means by which we all are oppressed, and not at all equally. But it times like these with a hollowed out economic middle class it’s crucial to seek for the source of our economic problems not where the rich relentlessly and consistently try to tell us they are. Reject racism and xenophobia and all the other working class hatred spread by the ideology of the rich ruling class and its desperate effort to maintain their rule atop the economic and social hierarchy. Such times as these should make the cynical lies so thin as to be clear in its deception.

Because some people have no idea about the things that have happened in the past and caused immense harm. People need to know each other's history to truly understand and move forward. Just saying "try harder to get along" brushes past all the past traumas that have shaped what our society looks like today. We cannot move past hate until everyone sees and understand what hate really does to people.
