Racism: A History. Part 1

Episode 1/3: The Colour of Money

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efI6T8lovqY

- A documentary which is exploring the impact of racism on a global scale, as part of the
season of programmes marking the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slave trade (but
not slavery itself) in the British Empire. Beginning by assessing the implications of the
relationship between Europe, Africa and the Americas in the 15th century, it considers
how racist ideas and practices developed in key religious and secular institutions, and how
they showed up in writings by European philosophers Aristotle and Immanuel Kant.

Racism: A History. Part 2

Episode 2/3: Fatal Impacts

- Looking at Scientific Racism, invented during the 19th century, an ideology that drew on now
discredited practices such as phrenology and provided an ideological justification for racism and
slavery. These theories ultimately led to eugenics and Nazi racial policies of the master race.
Some upsetting scenes.

Racism: A History. Part 3

Episode 3/3: A Savage Legacy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCJHJWaNL-g

- The third and final episode examines the impact of racism in the 20th Century. By 1900,
European colonial expansion had reached deep into the heart of Africa. Under the rule of King
Leopold II, The Belgian Congo was turned into a vast rubber plantation. Men, women and
children who failed to gather their latex quotas would have their limbs dismembered. The
country became the scene of one of the century's greatest racial genocides, as an estimated
10 million Africans perished under colonial rule. Contains scenes which some viewers
may find disturbing.

Jeg har ikke samlet opp nok "curage" til og se dem enda,
men i dag ligger denne tråden ikke listet opp blant de nyeste trådene..:?:

Nej. Jeg kan ikke se på det. Får det vældig dårligt af at se uhyggelige billeder /film og kan ikke se en del af de der krimi-serier, som mange andre ser. Føler, det er blevet meget værre de senere år. Troede, det fulgtes med stofskiftet (og at mange andre her havde det sådan) og blev noget overrasket af at se et emne som racisme behandlet her og på den måde som de billeder -- jeg skynder mig forbi (!) -- viser.
