"Exterminate All the Brutes": Filmmaker Raoul Peck Explores Colonialism & Origins of White Supremacy

A new four-part documentary series, "Exterminate All the Brutes," delves deeply into the legacy of European colonialism from the Americas to Africa. It has been described as an unflinching narrative of genocide and exploitation, beginning with the colonizing of Indigenous land that is now called the United States. The documentary series seeks to counter "the type of lies, the type of propaganda, the type of abuse, that we have been subject to all of these years," says director and Haitian-born filmmaker Raoul Peck. "We have the means to tell the real story, and that's exactly what I decided to do," Peck says. "Everything is on the table, has been on the table for a long time, except that it was in little bits everywhere. … We lost the wider perspective."

Hint: no matter how much they delve in? Its only the tip of the iceberg. It would take a full curriculum up through a doctorate to plumb the depths of hell that Colonialism has wrought upon those colonized in the US - especially if you include the Africans taken from their homeland.

I noticed images of old film footage showing kids doing the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance (the only country on Earth that has one, BTW). I hope he covers the actual history of that, as well as the original Bellamy Salute - The same exact one as the Nazi Seig Heil, up until 1941. One piece of relatively recent history that the PTB have tried to bury big time!

[@chesterjade7630]

The Public Schools and Private schools teach Eurocentic American History. In the textbooks Indians who are Native Americans are depicted as barbaric and savages Why? They were protecting their women and families from the white man. After the white man learned how to cultivate the land they proceeded to murder them and eventually drove them off their territories into reservations in the Trail of Tears. The white Europeans enslaved African people here in America and forced them to work for free in chains and shackles around their ankles. They made their children work and pick the cotton too. Cotton was King. You hear people say, this is our country, REALLY. Who told ya'll that. That's that white supremacy Manifest Destiny BS. Donald Trump said, you got to fight like hell to take your country back. Back from whom? America has Native Americans living on Reservations when they were the original inhabitants. The sins of America and white America. True facts don't get angry with me. Truth hurts and truth can't be ERASED. Like the Holocaust the Native Americans and African Americans will never forget. The past affects the future.

The ONLY learning experience in my 8th grade "American History" class was getting stuck with an obscure US Civil War issue for a term paper, the Dred Scott Decision. There was no mention of this landmark case in our textbooks, and I just happened across note of it in an encyclopedia article after the other students in my assigned "brain" group had reserved all the obvious subjects, and only one paper per subject was allowed. The rest of the year was spent memorizing endless facts, persons, dates, etc, none of which I remember or have had occasion to recall. But I'll NEVER forget the trials I went through to assemble the facts of this case for that paper and what I learned about this one dark chapter in US history. Unfortunately, there are many more such dark chapters, and they need to be taught to turn the tide of US history to come.

One thing I can already take away from what limited footage I've seen from this series is that the Europeans' definition of "Civilized" was to describe the surrendering of one's own free will to the dictations provided through the incentives inherent in Capitalism.

If you examine the American doctrine of Manifest Destiny and the doctrine of Zionism, you'll find many similarities between them. Both are steeped in supremacy, both justify the stealing of land and both claimed that all the brutalities, humiliations and deaths which resulted from it are all hunky dory because they're ordained by God. Mainstream American Jews view Zionism as a desecration of Judaism and Talmudic principles, which it is. Just as Manifest Destiny was a desecration of Christian and biblical principles.

I stopped watching DN! for a while because I got very disappointed at its shift towards a more mainstream agenda but at least it does journalism, you can defy it and not be attacked by fanatics, overbiased, shallow and suspicious people who are bad even in the agenda they have, or are employed to back, the one-theme "journalists" who depend on leaking to do their work or exploit the work of others as mere "echo chambers", and very excited about money and making news a lucrative "private enterprise". The US is the land of fake gurus and the "new left" media is full of them, because people outsource their thinking and it seems that being "American" is to be born out of arrogance and will to dominate others, with a lot of lying and smugness in it, almost a psychopathology of owning, winning and authoritarianly not allowing to be accounted for - it seems the issue of the show today. At least DN! doesn't sell itself, anymore, as the ultimate warrior of truth and journalism. The "new left" media is as prostituted as the mainstream they depend on to dispute audience - who does need the most all conspiracies about Russia, Trump and China, those who created them or those who profit "debunking" them even after they are tiresomely worn out? The money and fame addiction it seems to be worse than that of sex and drugs. Wolves in sheep's clothing are worse than people you know the editorial choices and bias. Journalism and politics can't be treated as religious sects. If DN! is that bad why are you watching? To have some "dirty" to talk in the social media with those "new left" mobsters? Grow up and finish "high school" test for cheerleader. 😅 And try to challenge your bubble if you're so interested in truth, those who claim to have it must prove. The "new left" propaganda mob is as harmful to journalism and public debate than the ones they claim to oppose but actually depend upon to exist. Wheats and weeds everywhere. What is good and truthful won't come easy, only for the profiteers dressed as "good people" while stealing the widow. Dishonest people can't defend truth, it's a façade.

We continue to struggle with beliefs of separate and better, so deeply embedded in the American psyche - we encounter symbols, memes and colloquialisms each day of our lives to this day, continuing the lies we should have outgrown centuries ago. We cannot outrun the truth of the routine abuses of white supremacy. Now, we must acknowledge the use of white supremacy as a tool and each individual expression of supremacy is chaos and useful to multinational corporations, bankers including wall street manipulators and many politicians who throw up a smoke screen of chaotic supremacy to blind Americans from the theft of their democracy and money (taxes). Living and life is actually very simple until the perceived need of lies deceit and the cover-up becomes the normal and accepted/required reality.

The Visigoths were an early Germanic people who, along with the Ostrogoths, constituted the two major political entities of the Goths within the Roman Empire in Late Antiquity, or what is known as the Migration Period. The Visigoths emerged from earlier Gothic groups, including a large group of Thervingi, who had moved into the Roman Empire beginning in 376 and had played a major role in defeating the Romans at the Battle of Adrianople in 378. Relations between the Romans and the Visigoths were variable, alternately warring with one another and making treaties when convenient. Under their first leader, Alaric I, they invaded Italy and sacked Rome in August 410. Afterwards, they began settling down, first in southern Gaul and eventually in Hispania, where they founded the Visigothic Kingdom and maintained a presence from the 5th to the 8th centuries AD.

Also commented upon in exterminate the brutes about 10 minutes in is the stereotype of predation on white women. What comes to mind though, is that there are hundreds of tribes in the world today that continue to practice wife kidnapping: that is, choosing your wife by kidnapping her against her will, after which she is culturally tainted and cannot be taken by another man. Mongolic and turkic horse tribes in Central Asia come to the forefront of the mind. Should we ignore the fact that many tribal societies have brutish attitudes towards women?

The truth shall set you free, to see and be who you are. To know is to understand, to understand is to give courage to change the narrative, where humans are seen as one family regardless of race, creed or color.

I am so interested in this documentary. Unfortunately, like most films, series' & good documentaries it is on HBO. There are lots of us out there who have basic cable or no cable and we can't shell out every month to any and all of these pay cable networks. So we can't see this or any other of the good stuff that is around these days. We are on fixed incomes as retired octogenarians. I'd like there to be a way for people like us to see these.

If you can afford $30 to buy a Roku Express and $20/month and have just about any kind of wireless internet in your residence, you can subscribe to PBS and HBO Max and stream loads of documentaries and other content that's in their archives. No live TV cable or satellite subscription required, no contract on the HBO Max which is $15/month. If you run out of content you're interested in you can cancel it. I stream with DSL internet.

History by it's very dynamic and complex nature is undefinable, at best it can only be interpreted from a subjective viewpoint, and no one can claim to have arrived at a clear and difinitive truth. More and more I am seeing attempts to do just that, and always in divisive ways.

Look at what language Christopher Columbus used to write to his son. Look at the religion of his crew. What people were being exiled from Spain when Christopher crossed the sea...

American is a nation that has aged without maturation. Growing up or evolving necessatates self awareness; the process becomes retarded when mendacity, denial, and fear occlude an honest self assessment. For far too many in the U.S. clinging to national mythology is the last line of defense against the reality of a country in precipitous decline. Raphael Lemkin understood that racism, genocide, slavery, and war are human pathologies; that only when human beings are united in vigilance against our baser tendencies can we have an equatable world.

Thanks so much Raoul Peck you exactly right Haiti always under attack yes Haiti was the first black country took their independence that's the price Haiti's been paid.If looking what's going on in Haiti tragedy to tragedy Haiti have no longer independent anymore the sovereignty in this country been violated invasion occupation for me you exactly right thanks.

[@bhawani301]

Raoul Peck should look into French history of sexual violence in Africa during French reign. What's happening today in the US is just an extension of European philosophy i.e. preservation of purity of White Christian race. Civilization built for few with bones and bloods of a lot.

[@Don-md6wn]

How do you know what history Peck has and hasn't looked into? His documentary didn't suggest the U.S. was unique in terms of white supremacy. He couldn't cover everything. If you listen to this interview and/or watch his documentary, he traces the origin of the idea of racial superiority to the Spanish Inquisition.

[@bhawani301]

@@Don-md6wn You should do research on the similarities in tactics used by British occupation forces in India against the freedom seeking Indians during 1930s and 40s to the ones used by US government against Civil Rights movement during the 1960s, eerily similar. Apple doesn't fall that far from the tree. Some common discriminations faced were: 1. Forcing to make bus seats available 2. Separating taps for different demographic group 3. Preferential treatment: some pets had more privileges than most people.

Truth telling about history is essential for a nation. The US and much of the rest of the West have suppressed the difficult truths. Expect much denial to come from those who are invested in the established understanding.
