This is an important film, a good resource when learning about democracy in the US. There are some ironies in this film, one is that the narrator is Black, and the undemocratic but legal segregation, oppression and manipulation and murder of Blacks as well as other "sub-humans" is not directly mentioned. The extent of the fascism of American politics and business is delved into enough. Some lines are very optimistic - good - but they are wrong, The creators of darkness hide in the light beside the American flag perfectly well. Freedom is: Human Rights, Human Trusts, Unions, Community, Involvement, Human Equality, Economic Equality, Earth Rights, Workers Rights, Student Rights, Teachers Rights, Education Rights, Farmers Rights, Health Care Rights, Freedom of thought, freedom of choice, freedom of speech, sexual liberation and more - and all listed can be divided into more things. These are some of the things always fought over, and they are often disconnected from on another, but they are all interconnected just as all life is interconnected. If anyone of these freedoms is denied it is a threat to all freedom. The prevention of freedom is a ideological war on the common sense, on the average person. The people is not a great beast, it is called a great beast by those with power and money, siting in palaces paid for by the people, built by the people, and died for by the people. The beast needs to stay a beast and preferably be a dog. The fact is, oppression is often separated from a total picture. For example the Woman's Movement, woman unified in solidarity by means of their cunts, a female culture, feminism, and male feminists are women, they must hate their own sex. The positive points of Woman's Lib made life better for everyone, women who are sexually liberated can enjoy sex, women who can take part in democracy ie voting, can vote for a better future, women who can work in the fields they'd like to allows for more content work force. The oppression of "sub-humans" ie Women, by the White Man served like the oppression of the world by America. As the injustice protected the white man. However, I will contradict myself, the oppression itself is completely negative, it does not benefit anyone, America could be a true democracy and have the freedom it praises without terrorizing the world, it could instead make peace with the world. It's like choosing between nuclear and solar energy.. Now, before WW2 women weren't taxed in America, if they had a job they would be paid less than the man with the same job, and would loose their job as soon as they were married, do sustain man's dignity women would lose on purpose so the man could win, this let men have no competition with women as they do today, this mad employers pay wages based on one's lifestyle, a man would get more money because he would provide for a family, the women would not because she ideally shouldn't have to in that society. Women did all the hard home labour, the doctors, the meals, the kids. One income was all that was needed for a living income. The sad part is that after the women and blacks were given White rights, they became white men.. and so increased competition and changed the entire community life. And the truth is, segregation, manipulation, oppression has never ceased, rights are not inforeced by the people, they are taken for granted - as in it's assumed that's just the way life is, for example all human beings are equal, that's how life is - how many had to die to obtain that idea - and it still isn't reflected by even recent history. Instead of life becoming easier, things only became harder, the black men and feminine women were assimilated. Women with penises, and blacks with the white suit and white voice and white culture like that of James Baldwin. The white man has been oppressed, the issues of others seemed worse, and basically are scapegoats of comparison. The white man is plagued by theology, money, power it's like Lord of The Rings. Even after rights had been won in American history the progression becomes nullified. The corruption caused by people who can do so because of money and power and probably psychosis - one bad apple ruins the bunch.
