The Uncomfortable Truth

A walk through history that took us from our past of slavery all the way to our present day form of racism; the "color blind society," in which we tell ourselves that we've miraculously moved on from our roots, that racism doesn't exist anymore and how, in doing that, we completely deny the experiences and struggles of black and brown people as well as denying the evidence and facts that are available to everyone though social research.

This documentary was a perfect blend of personal story mixed with evidence and fact.

Black people have been sharing these stories for centuries and it's not getting through to white people. They brush it off as a singular event, an anomaly. It's time for white people to start sharing stories like this with each other. Stories about how they benefited from slavery. White supremacy is a white problem and it's time to stop putting the onus on black people to solve it. I've already recommended this documentary to some of my conservative, white acquaintances.
