Award Winning Filmmaker Arthur Goldberg’s bravura documentary shines a klieg light on the strategies, game plans and master plans of extreme right wing Republicans & extreme right wing news media whose missions for decades have been to exploit America’s racial disharmony in order for them to get more power & profit as well as undermine American democracy.
The term “white victimization” typically refers to the belief or perception that White pPeople are being unfairly targeted, discriminated against, or made to suffer — socially, politically, economically — because of their race. The meaning varies depending on context, but it often appears in discussions about race relations, affirmative action, diversity efforts, or social justice movements regarding People of Color of African descent. {Dozens of White South Africans Arrive in United States Under TACO Refugee Plan,}
