Thread for People to Discuss Why They Are Not Going to Watch "Reconstruction" The Henry Louis Gates Documentary Tonight

Pat Young · 2019-04-16

I have a hard time with mr Gates In his other program “finding your roots. He researched Michael Moore’s family Roots. In their research they discovered quite the surprise, something Mr Gates hadn’t ever heard of before. It turns out that one of Michael’s ancestors fought against Oliver Cromwell, and was subsequently ship to the colonies. What I would like to know of mr Gates, is he going to research this any further and will he share this with any of his quest? Surely, this could help ease the tension, currently between the our black Americans. At least, I’ll like to think it would. Imagine what it may feel like to learn it wasn’t so much about supremacy, as much as it was our other human failing, GREED I understand that mr Gates probably has a limited say as to what will be researched. However, in the case of Ben Affleck , he did intervene on Ben’s behalf, when some unpleasant truth was uncovered in his background. I was only able to find a short video clip on this. Since this is my first time I’ve posted with a link. I’m not sure how use the attach files. It appeared that it may have been intended for something else. So, please, if this is inappropriate, for give me. https://www.pbs.org/video/hard-times-preview-u2z5x9/
