A good documentary exploring the different views on race and issues like "racism" and what it means to be "racist".
Bottom line, the filmmaker interviews subjects of all backgrounds to get their point of view, while asking specific questions... the questions aren't so much important, its' the answers that are astounding.
The documentary pretty much breaks down to what the reality really is, sociologically speaking in terms of how we understand race, racism and what racists are.
a clipping from the doc;
"Americans are being slandered as “"RACISTS"”more than ever before! Yet I don't know of ANY nation that has done more for it's “"minorities"” than the USA has".
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"There's no other nation on Earth that has created so many “minority” millionaires, yet so many of these “minorities” still hate America for her “racism?"
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"We hear that “"White European Culture"” is overpowering and dominant. We hear that we need exclusively African American, Hispanic, and even Asian TV networks just to offset the “"oppressive influences"” of white culture! But have you turned on a TV lately?"
:::::::::::::::::
"Just how much “"White Culture" is featured in American Broadcasting today? There's rarely any program or ad that doesn't feature at the least, an EVEN distribution of races or ethnic groups, even though two out of every three Americans are white! This is just one of the many “disconnects” I see in my daily life on matters of race.'""
