1. eww.

...couldn't get past the strum of banjos playing in the background, and dude's description after speaking of the many roles men play in a lifetime of, "....master of the house." :puke: also, pretty disturbed by some of the links on the right of the video. :scared:

amazing what you can find on youtube.com, isn't it?
one day, i was fascinated by all of the banned cartoons posted. at one time, you could see just about all of the "censored eleven," in one form or another. not sure if they are all still available, though.

2. I watched the whole movie

though some of it would make historians cringe, there's accurate information. The part about southern take-over of Central and South America was true and actually planned. The product advertisements were true, also.

3. that's so interesting...

...wow--i think i need to watch it. oh, and thanks for sharing about the product advertisements. as disgusting as i find some of the ads, i find historical advertising fascinating.

4. Then you'll find this of interest

The website of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University (Big Rapids, MI) http://www.ferris.edu/htmls/news/jimcrow/menu.htm has historical information in addition to past ads and caricatures.

i was blown away by this article:

and i am very much in awe of the author. i can barely look at some of the items he's found over the years. setting his personal disgust, anger and pain aside for the sake of historical accuracy, teaching and building tolerance is amazing.
