Race being a social construct is just all the more damning for 'white' supremacist ideology. 'White' has always been a moving target, defined mostly as an in-group to exclude people those in power don't like. Irish, Italian, Scotts, Greeks, etc, have all been -not white- at one time. It's somewhat pointless to identify as 'white'.
The inverse isn't true, of course. 'Black', especially in America, is an identity encapsulating centuries of oppression that extends well beyond mere race or ancestry.

Thank you so much for your videos! I used to show them to my HBCU students all the time.
Let me know if you ever need a host for Native American Crash Course vids. My first PhD is in aboriginal anthropology and my second is in First Nations literature, although I am currently driving big-rigs.
Sigh! I do so much miss the classroom and my students!

These videos have been so enlightening and educating. Black American history was mostly glossed over when I was in school, and most of what's being covered with this series was never mentioned; or barely acknowledged at best. Black American history IS American (and US) history and should be taught congruently, not just in US history, but in world history.

you guys are doing such amazing work with this series. I'd love to see something similar about some of the Native tribes in North America. I realize that is difficult because our first nations peoples are hella diverse, but. I also feel like if anybody could do it even halfway properly, it'd be you guys.

I work as a carriage tour driver in the French Quarter of New Orleans. There's a public elementary school in the Quarter that was recently renamed in honor of Homer Plessy. Whenever I'm able, I use the school as a starting point to give a succinct summary of Plessy v. Ferguson.

70+ years of white supremacy being legalized. That should tell people, especially white people, that race is a topic of every day subject. And it should also tell them that white supremacy is rooted, not only in the legal system, but in everyday life

It-s crazy to think we want to explore the depths of the ocean and the darkness of outer space but still can-t find a way to live amongst each other here on the land of earth because the color of our skin

I remember learning about this in school years ago when I was a kid. I completely forgot about it until today someone brought it up in a convo about American history.
This is a great video!
