Media Device #4 (Revised)

This is a video I found on youtube, made by a young Filipino man. In this video there are clips of the Ku Klux Klan, clips of white men beating black men, Neuse’s, burnings, and other forms of violent hate crimes. A lot of the clips have people mimicking Hitler and showing hate towards Indians, Asians, along with African Americans. This video contains older footage along with more recent videos to show that crimes like this are still going on in America, the land of the "free". The creator chose the song Jesus Walks by Kanye West to go with the video. This song is about a young black man who has the option to do something wrong but chooses to walk away. He claims Jesus is walking with him, and "the devil can't break him down". Overall this video was well done, and I think will make people recognize the hate that is still among some white people in the United States.
Zinn titled, “Slavery without submission, Emancipation without freedom”, relates this particular piece of video to the article. This article talks about how slaves were not treated like humans even after the government was passing laws to abolish slavery. Once laws were pass, not very many people enforced them. The slaves were still subjected to hate crimes, and violence against them. This is where the video and the article are tied together.
Why in the video were there more scenes of blacks getting hurt than the other races? This is probably due to the availability of video clips. If you look on the history channel or just search for video clips of racial discrimination or hate crimes, most of them are geared towards African Americans. However in this video the creator did manage to find some clips of Native Americans, and a protest against Asians.
I found this video to be depressing. Most people have seen videos in history classes, and other high school/college courses about things like this, but it still gets me every time. Every video I watch has something more brutal or shocking in it than the last. The thing that gets me every time is when you watch videos like this and you look at the person’s face who is conducting the violence, they show no signs or remorse or guilt. These people truly are cold-hearted people who would rather kill the people they don't get along with than just deal with it. They are so Egocentric that they don't care, about the people they are hurting. It's very sad how thing like this still continue today, and now there are even more groups of people that are being hated, even people of the same race.
