The embedded video here is long-ish, nearly 18 minutes, but it’s still just the Cliff Notes version of racial inequity in the US since the end of the Civil war.
The presenter goes at a dizzying pace, which adds to the impact of what he’s saying.
Anyone who remains unconvinced today that the system is rigged against minorities needs to be sat in front of this video with their eyelids propped open (per Clockwork Orange, oh my brothers).
Trotsky would be just rolling in his grave if he saw troglodytes like this were still using up precious air.
Maybe if the facts were presented in the framework of Veggie Tales, this bozo might get the picture:

We lose the moon.
Nutritionists announce they were wrong, kale is bad for you.
Murder hornets become less of a threat when the murder squirrels show up.

You want to be where you can see,
