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

- 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."

If it's as represented it should be played and discussed in every American school.
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!
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.
Mitch McConnell, I didn't sign up to be taught revisionist history, but that's what I was taught in the public schools in the 1960's and 1970's. I had to learn actual U.S. history by reading on my own as an adult.
Every time i hear someone (usually a conservative/reactionary) speak of American Exceptionalism, I cannot help but think of all the wonderful things that made America so great: Chattel slavery, ethnic cleansing, genocide, a continent of natural resources to be exploited, two vast oceans to isolate us, and we had it all to ourselves. How exceptional.
@@DocZom That phrase makes me nauseous, as do politicians proclaiming the United States is the greatest country in the world. It's like an athlete declaring himself the greatest - if it's true, you don't need to say it. You can let others say it for you.
I grew up in Tulsa and NEVER learned about the Tulsa race massacre. 15 years of oklahoma history that is light on the history.
I am Brazilian, and the same thing happens here, but the funny thing is we actually get a less biased view of US history, I read an American textbook once, and wow. Not sure if I got a really bad one, but it basically said “We are great, and the less great stuff we did, the [insert any people that ever existed] did it worse, look how bad they are!”. Not even Brazilian textbooks, the last country to abolish slavery in the Western World and still ruled by the once slave-owning white elite, sugarcoats slavery this much.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 truth!!!
Truth is truth.
Really? And egg is an egg duh!
Truth is ruthless yet redeeming, so push for a full switch of legal/political models to consonant-sounding Restorative Justice, from oxymoronic (inherently contradictory) Retributive Justice, which just perpetuates the violence, or worse, is violence vs. non-violent crimes such as vice
@@AudioPervert1
Eggs are not bitter unless they turn bad. The truth is always bitter to side that hates it.
I think it's no coincidence that today Haiti has the #1 lowest life expectancy in the Northern Hemisphere, followed by Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota at #2.
This is the brutal legacy of settler-colonialism.
I hope this is shown to teenagers in schools all over the country. It may open many eyes and hearts.
And shown much further afield
Can be done at home
Roaches run when you turn the lights on we need more lights
Evil doesn't have a leg to stand on without people buying in
It must be told because the same thing is still going on just in a more 2021 way racism is at an all time high and mitch himself is a racist
McConnell and his kind perpetuate the system and ensure it never moves forward (to give rights to minorities).
100 year anniversary of the Tulsa massacre, the 1960s civil rights and now in 2021 - this must not be allowed to go on.
Democrats and Republican alike ensure the current system remains - shuffle it around and move it sideways but never forwards.
Any leader, who is in the power position and wishes to further the rights is always assassinated.
Thank you Raul Peck for giving for enlightening us with truth and intelligence.
*I highly appreciate the News Channel "Democracy Now", because it reveals the truth*
Eh... acceptable "truth." I wouldn't say I have seen them expose anything I haven't seen on other mainstream media. There is plenty out there that's extremely important that they haven't touched on at all. It's too bad really.
@@pinwheelart2825 @Pinwheel ART @Pinwheel ART Every news outlet only reveals "the truth" which is interesting to sell its agenda, the arrogant "new left" media, especially in the US is as biased or even worse than DN!, they don't reveal even their financial support and dare to demand that from others, a bunch of yuppies running in circles of self legitimation by its bubble ("I invite you to my show, sell you as champion of any shit, next week you do that to me and our bank accounts and reputation are inflated as any other bubble" (why USers are so into bubbles? Now it's the media "subprime" bubble of the "new left" that needs to blow...) and ignorant mobsters who think are "saving the world" by giving money to fraudsters - no wonder why Trump was elected in a country mesmerized by demagogues made into fake heroes. 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.

Thank you! WE are the majority who CAN make the needed changes in OUR world. In the name of LOVE.
This is so relevant now more than ever!
Sad but white America does not like to hear about the horrific sins of America and the terroism that was perpetuated.
My ancestors lived it and we have pictures of the lynchings and torn opened backs of Blacks due to torture and whipping.
What man is going to just let another man just whip him this is demeaning in every way.
America is falling into the Abyss.
America was supposed to be for religious freedom.
Babylon is here.
Judgment Day is coming.
That's should to be told
8:40 mark the expansion of the US is explained, but the same philosophies and tactics were used only 100 years ago when the European Zionists colonized Palestine... and it continues unchanged to this day.
Yes this is exactly what I was thinking. History repeats itself and the world remains blinds and uses excuses to carry on in the same vein.
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.
@@warriorwaitress7690 The same thing happened with the philosophy of Apartheid, with the white Afrikaners of South Africa. These are all racist, supremacist, settler colonial ideologies.

I just read The Man Who Lived Underground by Richard Wright, it is an amazing read. I can't wait to watch the Exterminate All The Brutes HBO series. We really need to own up to all this.
@pete haskell Yes they did and also sacrificed children to appease their Gods. How does this make the horror we brought any less horrible. Just read Blood & Treasure by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. The American Indians took up the ways of the English oppressors. Burning at the stake, scalping, etc. We are a BAD influence where ever we go.
Our superior nose in the air attitude is pathetic. All this was promoted by the White Guys Are Superior Church.
Civilization, Colonization, Extermination
The Europeans and their Church did exactly what Christ said the Devil has done...
Steal, Kill, and Destroy
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.
RAUL PECK THANKS
YOU DESERVE EVERY AWARD
Take it to heart (they) won't give them to you!!
Howard Zinn opened our eyes
FREE JULIAN ASSANGE !!!✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
Thank you immeasurably, Mr. Peck for the enormity of your work, Thank you also, for the immeasurable courage in revealing dark historical truths of a nation.
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. Unfortunately, this belief continues today through financial and poltiical power structures all over the world. This proves something else I talk about, which is that Power is the most addictive (and destructive) narcotic in the world.
Yep!
End civ
Greed is the sister of power.
I learned about slaves being welcomed by tribes from old family diaries. I spent a fair amount of my childhood living side by side with a reservation where most of the kids I played with were natives. We ate each other's food and shared the stories that had been passed down to us.
More of this could save us. 🖖🏽
Just not the slaves the natives owned though. Fuck those guys.
Great Doc, it was accurate and the TRUTH!🙌💚
In EVERY encounter, the colonizer shames his invented devil.
The same is true for 🇨🇦!
We still treat our indigenous people like 2nd class citizens.
This is so significant, its understanding correlates to the genocides all over the world by colonial powers. eg, indigenous peoples in the USA, Canada, Ireland, Armenia, Namibia.
Dark moment in US history must be told and truth must be unveil. So we can move forward into the future.
It HAS BEEN TOLD FOR DECADES WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN????!!!! This propaganda push - since you all haven't been paying attention - is HARMING ALL CHILDREN. They are teaching white children to feel like shat about shat they DIDN'T DO!!!!! AND THEY'RE BEING PUNISHED AND BULLIED FOR IT.
Just a moment, huh?
@@gtaytay2635 until the playing fields are leveled and laws are changed; nothing will be able to right the wrong and all those that have and had privilege continue to benefit off from that. This is obvious to native Americans
@@gtaytay2635
So teaching white teenagers our unsanitized history in high school is guilt-tripping them?
Do we have to lie to white children to protect their feelings?
And what about non-white children?
What happens when those children, like me, figure out they were lied to by omissions and platitudes?
@@gtaytay2635 Wait, what???
Wow, just wow...
Hiding behind children is as shameful as it gets.
Obviously you need to stop having kids.
Mitch is evil !
This country is "inherently evil." Sorry, (not sorry,) Mitch.

@evolvedape3341 more excuses indigenous countries in Africa isn't about violence its about resistance to invaders
Since the beginning of our bipedal existence we have uppted the calibre of our hatred, fear, and intolerance of anyone who isn't “us". We have schooled ourselves in cruelty, brutality, self-righteousness, self-entitlement, and school is still in session.
I couldn't have put it better myself.
Finally: a world human overview- continuous acknowledgement of how Historical evolution must be seen as a unified understanding of brutalities and previous attempts to understand the totality of the human condition. A new way to proceed.
My grandmother, my mother and my brother are white supremacists. My grandfather, my father, one of my twin uncles and I are not. My sons are not. My daughter became one and most of my cousins are. It makes it hard to love those who are white supremacists. I suppose it's hard for them to love me and many of them do not which I find hard to care about.

Great documentary it was accurate and the truth!
This man deserves an award greater than the Nobel Prize, for the courage of telling these truths!! I've been interested in all of Mr.Peck's works & Exterminte All The Brutes is as factual as can possibly be in a condensed docu-series. Truly must watch & take the time to read/watch his other works.

Wow, being an intense student of the history of the Eastern Front during WWII, this documentary reminds me of the Nazi's moral justification for invading the Soviet Union: "When the Americans expanded westward, they exterminated the Indians, so what's the problem? We want to turn the Volga into our own Mississippi!" (paraphrase).
And if you study more, the Nazi's got A LOT of their ideology regarding race, eugenics, etc. from the U.S.
Yep I been telling people this for years even concentration camps started in America then Namibia then Germany used it on jews

We're in a time of breaking the Empire consent sealed after the 1970s, neoliberalism isn't only about economy, it broke the trend of debate and fights over colonialism and especially actions and popular demand for its deconstruction and reparation. Now the 1960s' trends of discussion/debate and civil/social mobilisation processes about freedom, justice and peace are back everywhere. Viva los hyppies! Capitalism, colonialism and racism - the evil machine tripod - are against the true human nature. But now it's Nature leading the uprising, that's why the evil machine will be defeated - did you see New Zealand wake up call flooding? Money can't buy the Nature's balance, money can't buy true health, the indigenous wisdom will save those who accept it - the rest will vanish as the dust of dead stars they are.

Honestly I don’t know how you all managed to get through an episode without screaming or crying. It’s extraordinary.

It's so nice when educational material is hidden behind a paywall. America!
Must watch this and download it.
The entirety of the film is the educational moment we need to put today into clear focus, in clear contrast with our personal hopes and dreams.
The idea that this only happened during a brief epoch of American history is finally exposed for the lie it is. 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.
Each time we pay homage to the flag, it seems many of us forget -"Our Flag Represents our "People" the People of Our Growing Nation"
I understand holding our flag high in the midst of battle is a noble act and deserving of respect..., but let's not overlook, if it were not for the greed and avarice of a very few individuals we would never engage in war as a path to peace as described in the past or ever again.

About 20 minutes into exterminate the brutes, the narrator drives the idea that the point of this film is to remember and acknowledge the crimes of the past.
I can't wait for the director's next feature, "the story of how most of your male ancestors forced sex on most of your female ancestors",

Thank you Mr Raoul Peck i feel so sorry for our Haitian and African plus other indigenous people around the world being invaded and brutally hurt by white supremacist governments of America and Europe i hope we will be free sooner than later you do humanity great service.
This is the truth, all countries have evil in the past! Until we face up to it, we risk it happening again. The idea that people have no idea about this is patronising to say the least! We as people have a right to know how we got here and the best way to move forward in a better more positive way. Their have been changes but too slow. Let’s move it on much faster with the terrifying truth of the past.

How to obtain this document
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?

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.
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.

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.
