Imagine the crumbliest crackers to ever crack but they’re well meaning liberals, who have expressed interest in learning more about diversity and inclusion. You are tasked with helping open their eyes to the racism they are immersed in and benefit from without scaring them out the gate with the specter of communism. This would be accomplished with regular meetings, probably once a month in frequency. Reading is ideal but we all know nobody does the reading. What films or documentaries are a good place to start that help open the door but are palatable to libs? Stuff like 13th

    Thanks for the recommendation. Judas and the black messiah is a good one if only to introduce folks to Fred Hampton. I might add spike lee’s malcolm x to the list as well and maybe do the right thing

      rat-salute-2 Oh, yeah, no doubt. It's still a good movie for showing how racist the system is at its roots. One of Gerald Horne's speeches on The Counter-Revolution of 1776 might be good in that regard, as well.

      That MalcomX speech is a bit rough as it goes off on House N Words and Field N Words, but the back half of the speech is REALLY good. It's especially relevant in context of how BLM has basically been neutralized.
