"Understanding the rage"
PBS Newshour report/short essay, "Understanding the rage"
A point of view so many have either been 'unaware' of (as in 'insulated' from), explicitly ignore 'it' even when reminded of it, have knowingly, habitually, historically, and intentionally turned a blind eye to it, (hey, politicians I'm talking about you)... ... And then, of course, there are some relentless, hard-core, sadistic like individuals that insist on increasing the levels of it and "Double down"on insisting to keep it that way or increase it.
The "it" is the discriminatory 'class war' and 'culture war' kinds of attitudes within a particular type of political structure that insists that we lock it in as if it "God's will" and they are just "doing God's will" in doing so.
Of course, it is an infestation that goes very largely along racial lines and is glaringly obvious which one of the 2 major political parties in America is in large part responsible for it during this day and age.
It is everything like and including the 'Jim Crow' kind of laws that have been passed down over a couple of generations now. It is the 'Red-lining' of neighborhoods that magnifies "blight" of which is the reason they who make redlining laws 'claim', is the reason for redlining in the 1st place, kind of a vicious cycle and is most commonly and usually along racially motivated "political" lines.
Anyway, the video essay is fairly short and at least touches on the reality of where we are at now and what kinds of and how being discriminated against racially and mistreated and abused by the law enforcement and the laws have been happening in America for decades if not, since the founding of our nation.
Anyway, that's my little rant from a now becoming elderly, "white", "privileged" male.
The video link is supposed to start at about 51:36, but I'm not sure it will. But anyway, that is where the essay starts.
