Anxieties and the pains and the torments of injustice all for something they started when Africans started selling Africans for money.
The sting of truth

Give leftists a threat of their own medicine and they will back down.

No, they won’t.
They want all of our history erased.

Ken “The. Stupid” Burns. He’s on the wrong side of history if he supports the unbridled violence and destruction committed by America-hating MarxistsAnarchists. Ken seems to have no problem with mob rule in a civil society: they can not coexist. It’s open season on “offensive” targets of the new Cultural Revolution.

On CNN - Check.
Speaking out against President Trump - Check.

Mr. Burns is looking for work from any leftist who will send it his way. Sad way to whore yourself when you don't have a real client list.

Don't expect a story on the underground railroad and how White people helped Blacks escape slavery.

Thanks again! Good stuff.

The Vietnam War was a battle in the fight against the Soviet Union. It hurt us, no doubt, but it also cost the Soviets quite a lot. Those MiGs, SAMs, 122mm guns and T-54s weren’t “free”.

I’d prefer the statues be moved to a safe place rather than destroyed.

Attacking pillars of the progressive movement like Wilson and Yale University will certainly put them off balance. And that’s all we need.

He’s done even more damage to this country than Howard Zinn.

Not hardly.....

Zinn has destroyed millions of the best and brightest minds in the country.

His BS book is required reading in academia

Burns is simply a pompous ass...

Perhaps Ken should have a chat with Victor Davis Hanson and learn something.

I am sure Burns would consider it beneath himself to have that conversation with VDH.

Burns & PBS are for people too lazy to read and must be spoon fed their history & culture.

Remove the statues, flags, texts, anything related to slavery.
Then SHUT THE HELL UP!
NO talk of reparations, welfare, Affirmative Action for something that apparently did not happen.

“Ken Jurns should remake “Th Civil War” and leave then Confederacy completely out of it.”

Never forget that show biz people typically have aberrations.

Some also have great talents.

Burns does attractive documentaries, period.

Ken Burns has always been a PC Revisionist. He makes propaganda, not documentaries
