    The Ford Foundation funded this lecture. That is a problem.
    We need to talk about the intersectionalism of the Henry Ford family, their support of the American Nazi Bund Party, and Henry's friendships with Atlanta's Southern White Knight aristocratic families and SWK business leaders.
    Oral history from older, black and white Atlantans say Henry Ford liked to visit Atlanta to watch the prisoner " black mule" gladiator fights and torture shows at Stone Mountain, the TerrorDome ( also known as the Imperial Palace of the Southern White Knights of the KluKluxKlan Realm of Georgia).
    In addition, Henry supposedly left a trail of tramatized poor-white milltown girls ( and their resulting babies) in every Georgia city he visited.
    DNA testing could verify the truth of these oral history accounts, but it would take a lot of bravery for someone to come forward to be tested. After all, Henry Ford's Atlanta friends still control the social, political and economic life in Georgia--- through their descendants. It is not in their interest to expose their families' past methods of gaining and keeping power.

      Make your argument if you please, sounds silly, your reference to who funded the lecture can be had for numerous corporations, they’re all corrupt.... as for Ford write the Ford Foundation...

      zorazora zorzzora many corporations that are evil, also sponsor lectures that engage in the Hegelian dialectic, like Ford. But those corporations most likely, did not support hitler/NAZI’s. I live in Detroit. I was born/raised on the east side, and this topic is not talked about. In funding the NAZI’s, Ford was directly/indirectly related to the 60 + million lives lost in WWII. I don’t agree with most connections with intersectionalism, but specifically connecting Ford to the NAZI’s/racism is correct.

      My goodness, what a provocative statement! You have my rapt attention-- what are your sources for this information? Anderson's discourse didn't seem to pull any punches or kowtow to the comfort level of the white audience or the Ford Foundation as sponsor and as such I'm not as troubled by the sponsorship. In life I have come to sometimes recognize and embrace the dualities and symbiosis of life, relationships, religion, politics, economics, spirituality, race, culture, education, govt, etc. If you look hard enough and on different days you can find the good and bad in most things. It's very relative to where you are at that moment...peace & abundant blessings unto you 🙂👍🤝

      She's been at Emory teaching. I first saw her with Trevor Noah on the Daily Show and found get lecture on White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Nation's Divide on the Emory University site. Wow did I have some "discussions" on a few threads to that video lol. There are a couple others I've learned a lot from: Michelle Alexander has a video called "The New Jim Crow" at The University of Chicago site and many other videos, Jeffrey Robinson, ACLU lawyer, on two sites ACLU and MVAAFF, Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America, Affirmative Action, The 1921 Tulsa Massacre, The Truth About the Confederacy in the United States (FULL Version). The Who We Are series is on MVAAFF and some others too and the ACLU has a bunch of good stuff. Then both Angela Davis and Jane Elliott are great, but there's a video called A Conversation on Race and Privilege with Davis and Elliott on UHGCSW. They both have many videos and some of their interviews from the 70s. Finally, Muhammad Ali especially in Ireland called Muhammad Ali - Wak Up and Apologize (1972) with Cathal O'Shannon on reelblack site. This is an amazing interview which I doubt was ever shown in the US. A whole lot more than you were expecting I'm sure, but just in case you were interested, I thought I'd share some of the unbelievable speakers I'd found. I'm a 64-year-old white woman whose been trying to pay attention my whole life, but it wasn't until I found CZcams only a year or so ago that I've been able to go back to the 60-70s and watch and listen to what I heard decades ago all to what's going on now. With George Floyd, a lot of people, white people, are waking up and paying attention and it's been a pleasure and privilege to have access to all this knowledge. I hope you do look up some of these folks cause they are great speakers and piecing together the true story of American history. Take care, stay safe and enjoy watching!

    • @nailahasabi8716
      @nailahasabi8716 Před rokem

      I totally agree but it depends on who's gonna teach it. Who's gonna tell the stories, from what perspective, with what overt and covert agendas and with an emerging narrative that is actual and factual? Will it be the oppressors or the oppressed or some lopsided mixture of both or some foreign entity with no skin in the game? I'd love to hear from some scholars on how these required history courses could be genuinely constructed.

    One of the most obvious historical legacies of slavery is enshrined in the names of these descendants of their ancestors. So total was the destruction of the history and culture of these slaves, their African heritage was totally oblitrated.

      Capitalism with cooperation organization works better or mabe just as good as communist. So they were broke down the naacp the same way they cut up there impires bought out, in, though, that money in the right place to the right ones. Has to have something to do with what made Jesus angry with the peaces of silver in the church you know what I mean , it's in the bubble , but it's still working today, and the dust of the NAACP IS JUST WORTHMESS BOOTLICKS. but at any rate it's good to know once apoun a time they had ture intentions.

      likely few peeps speaking patois on here, but just because it's an old saying doesn't make it true. otherwise if a tropical storm blows in the morning it must be headed towards a full blown hurricane by evening. ha, not true. Sometimes you get the threat of wind and moderate rain then clear skies soon come and all is beautiful. keep it real. #cynicism sucks.

    As long as I can remember, a small minority (now a large majority in education) has presented the founding of the US as mired in corruption, as if the British colonists who, eg, fought the French and Indian war, and then broke with Britain to establish a new nation, automatically should have opened the floodgates to unlimited immigration and universal voting rights (which existed no where in the world in any country). In the context of that absurd assumption they then spew venom at US history as if those colonists owed something to black, brown, Asian, and other non-British people who arrived in the early decades of US expansion. What nonsense!

    • @kissit012

      You clearly are a supporter of human trafficking and believer of “bad guys on all sides” rhetoric to be so bold and wastefully ignorant as to suggest that actual recorded history with credible sources are false. The “founding fathers” were not great or admirable. The first settlers were racist, sexist, child predator brutes who violated literal millions of people. European history is plagued with their violence, hatred, discrimination, dehumanization, and destruction. The destruction of civilizations by savages should never be held in regard as noble, nor the recounting of their actions be told in any way that flatters them. How is raping, trafficking, murdering, torturing, millions not corrupt? No one needed them to do any of the things they did. Europe should have solved its problem with itself within its own borders and kept the rest of the world out of it. The fact that they used brutality to establish their country and then turned around and tried to limit what they did to others from happening to them, shows that they know what they were doing was wrong. Their response, and the response of their benefactor descendants, to the criticism of their behavior (or any talks of reciprocity) is proof that their methods, intentions, and means, were unjust. If what they did wasn’t so bad why don’t you agree to let a better equipped, more advanced people do the same to you and yours? It would surprise me if you showed an ounce of introspection and understood why you are so eager to defend hateful savages for any reason other than you sympathize with them because you are one.
