First was the endlessly whining fiddles...
actually, the music was the best part of the production, including the anachronistic theme song ‘Ashokan Farewell’, which while having nothing to do with the Civil War, was eerily evocative of the time period being examined...
Or the ninth.
I thought his documentary on Jazz was brilliant. I am saddened to find out where his head is really at.
I ain’t a fan of modern thug cops, but if you obey their instructions, don’t resist arrest, you have an extremely low chance of getting killed. Maybe it’s time for someone to call out Black kids for being criminals who resist arrest.
In addition, I am pretty sure that cops kill far more whites than blacks. But those stats would never see the light of day in a newscast designed to make America and cops look racist.
Baltimore city's murder rate has doubled to over a murder a day since the mayor and prosecutor declared war on their OWN city's cops.
All those dead blacks never existed to Al Sharpton, Holder, Obama, Lynch, Melissa Harris Perry, or anyone else on MSNBC...not only didn't their lives matter tbut they just as well never existed.
They will say nothing about it, because some of that blood is on THEIR hands,
Only if a cop kills a black do they suddenly recognize it.
But...
He sees everything through the lens of racism. He’s a johnny-one-note, no matter what subject he covers.
Without cops trying to contain the chaos, a lot more blacks would be getting gunned down than have ever been “gunned down” by officers.
Just look at the chaos in Baltimore with the police pulling back a little.
I wish the left wasn’t so evil and dumb.
Still, with the high abortions rates, high death rates of young blacks from violence and the highest rate of men incarcerated, their high birthrates still create high population growth rates.
“...but if you obey their instructions, don’t resist arrest, you have an extremely low chance of getting killed.”
“Maybe it’s time for someone to call out Black kids for being criminals who resist arrest.”
Getting killed, ok. But getting beaten or brutalized for effectively nothing? High probability.
Blacks as criminals: Agreed.
I see two different points here: Militant SS-wannabes who are just itching to injure and kill at the slightest “provocation” and the permanent underclass that doesn’t give a s**t anymore.
Honestly - let them kill each other off, like Germany and Russia, circa the early to mid 1940s. I’m developing the same disdain for both sides.
Racist America where blacks gun down each other and white folks.
No mention of the black-on-black murders that occur daily
in various cities.
Ken Burns never saw the contradiction - never saw the hypocrisy of forcing all free citizens to support PBS while only catering to the 5% who were white, liberal, and elite. Burns was born with ‘glorious promise’ but sold it out for advantage. May God curse his soul....
I have recently asked a few black men here in Maryland their opinion on this and got three different answers.
One had guns drawn on him when pulled over because he looked like a suspect that they were searching for, said this happened more than once(this guy is big, bald and a body builder, but a really nice guy, a born again Christian).
The one I thought was interesting was ex-cop, he told me what he tells his younger relatives (black naturally) EXACTLY what to do when pulled over:
Hands on wheel, windows open, stay quiet, answer questions politely, don't argue.
