For better or worse, the focus on racism is a constant in Burns’ work. As I said earlier he sees American history through the prism of Civil Rights. I just don’t feel that automatically makes him a propagandist. I don’t have to agree with a writer/historian on every little insight.

My comments refer to the “worse” in his work. To the extent that it is prismatic it is (automatically) propagandistic, by definition. His programs certainly have value, as many Hollywood films do, but the propaganda is unmistakable.
