Last night, Ray and I watched Uncle Tom II, a documentary about the black experience in America in the early 20th Century. It was extremely enlightening, as it explained that the Civil Rights Movement beginning in the 1960s, was instigated by a White Marxist. The documentary noted that the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Socialist. You can find the complete film on YouTube, and it is highly recommended for everyone to watch.
The film also contrasted the teachings of two of the most important black leaders in the early 20th Century, Booker T. Washington, and W.E.B.DuBois.
Booker T. Washington was closely associated with the Tuskegee Institute, where black students were educated in useful skills to become successful in life. Here are a couple of his pithy quotes.
Dignify and glorify common labor. It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top.
The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race.
And W.E.B. DuBois, who is described as a famous Socialist and, along with three others (two being white socialists), founded the NAACP.
One is astonished in the study of history at the recurrence of the idea that evil must be forgotten, distorted, skimmed over. We must not remember that Daniel Webster got drunk but only that he was a splendid constitutional lawyer. We must forget that George Washington was a slave owner . . . and simply remember the things we regard as creditable and inspiring. The difficulty, of course, with this philosophy is that history loses its value as an incentive and example; it paints perfect man and noble nations, but it does not tell the truth.
The documentary also demonstrates that it was a white leftist, Eric Mann, who instigated Black Lives Matter, and just “used” the three black female Marxists as the face of the organization.
The entire film is extremely enlightening.
