Ken Burning the Confederate Flag 0
Excerpt from Ken Burns’s statements:
The main American theme, I think, is freedom. But we also notice that race is always there. . . .
And we struggle with it. We try to ignore it. We pretend, with the election of Barack Obama, that we’re in some post-racial society. And what we have seen is a kind of reaction to this. The birther movement, of which Donald Trump is one of the authors of, is another politer way of saying the N word. It’s just more sophisticated and a little bit more clever. He’s ‘other.’
What’s actually ‘other’ and different about him? It turns out it’s the same old thing. It’s the color of his skin.
