Now it only they would respond positively to Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center

he won’t just leave it at shipyards and Brookley field.....nah, we’ll have to self flagellate over James Crow for the appropriate butt kissing
Burns forgot to use PBS math.
Such and such % anglo, this % black, x % asian, etc., etc...
LOL!
PC modey-dopey (& boring) Ken Burns hasn’t been PC enough!!!!
ROFL!
See, PC Ken? You can never satisfy! Just drop the PC race-coddling crap. It ain’t worth it, and it ain’t representative, anyway.
Turns out it was the Affiliated States.
‘PBS, to its credit, reacted strongly to this bullying by asserting its editorial independence, saying in a statement, “Any attempt by the government or interest groups to influence content, especially before a program has aired, raises serious Constitutional, statutory and policy concerns.”’
Yes and no.
You get what you get when you have government funding. They GET to control you. Much more than if you did it on your own and raised money from private investors.
Commies.
In it women, blacks, latinos, arabs and gays defeat Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo and George W. Bush to free the world from all oppression!
“The people that are in our film are not their nationality, not their country of origin, not their ethnicity, not their religion, not their sex, not their race, but human beings. Not just Americans, but human beings.”
You pathetic PC BSer.
If you were so interested in “human beings” - did you include REAL Germans and REAL Japanese in your accounts? Did you ask them how they “feel”?
You hypocritical !$#!@#.
Burns discovered racism as a overriding theme in his Jazz work. Both the Jazz and Baseball works would’ve been half-hour shows if the word “racism” would’ve been removed. I think that this was lampooned in FR among other places.
Burns is now like a music act whose producers found a “sound” that it could sell, and now replicate that song a dozen times (think “Air Supply” and “REO Speedwagon”). This is sad, because the Civil War work was by far the best for Burns.
It’s ironic that one of the most uniting events in American history now has to be told in a fragmented, ethnicity-oriented style, thanks to “diversity”.
I wonder if he’s going to go on at length about the Communist led anti-war movement that opposed war against Nazi Germany until Adolph Hitler betrayed Stalin.
Or is that politically incorrect to point out that even then American Communists led the so-called anti-war movement?
Before the showing, our local PBS affiliate showed its own locally produced documentary about how badly the Japanese Americans, Latinos and Blacks were treated during the war with a little about how important dancing was and the contributions of women to war time industry were.
All good balanced PBS stuff.
I was anxious to watch it until all the carping started from the usual suspects. Not enough hispanics, not enough blacks, yadda,yadda,yadda. PBS goes PC again.
