A history of racism

The History of Racism - Episode 1 (part 1/6) by the BBC.

I found this very accessible, I have trouble concentrating on documentaries with brainfog (and today am having trouble concentrating on everything) but this gets right to the point, and there's a lot of punch even in this first ten minute chunk (which is all I've gotten around to so far). They start with a white male academic doing a voiceover then as I recall all the remaining academics were non-white/POC, which is... interesting.

Thanks for the link. I just watched the first episode, & found it pretty good. There are quite a few white guys featured (and not many women, let alone women of colour, which I suspect is mostly a commentary on academia *sigh*), but the level of academic expertise and sophistication was impressive for a BBC program.

Yes, it's not the Best Documentary Ever, but better than I was expecting.
