Excellent honest documentary about history...

Finally something historically accurate put out by Amazon! Amazing! After trying to watch a few of their promoted films I was greatly disappointed and disturbed at the fact that all of them contained bigoted propaganda instead of facts or history. I find it painful as a mixed race woman that almost no democrats realize that MLK was a republican, that in fact EVERY major civil rights actor was republican!

Awesome

Walter E Williams is right up there with Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman. They're highly intelligent but explain things really well and they're very accessible. This documentary was a nice summary of the ideas Williams has developed professionally as well as his personal life experience. It's well-made and very rewarding to watch.

I think it would also make a pretty good introduction to Williams himself and the truth which goes against so much of what gets said about black people these days. If only people took a bit of time to understand the actual effects of minimum wage laws, the welfare state and labour unions, they might comprehend why trends have gone backwards for blacks since around the 1960s.
