Even in

war re enactments someone has to be the rebels, or Germans or japs. Even when the surviving jews went back to auschwitz the grounds were perserved as a museum a shrine to not only the Jews but to the Germans as well. Why? So the survivors do not attempt to erase one side of the story or the other. That only the truth remain.

First of all this was not a "re-enactment" like a war re-enactment. It was a memorialization of an event. We weren't pretending to be the 600 men and women that walked that path on Bloody Sunday. If we were, then yes, someone would have pretended to be the Alabama State Troopers as well. We were a group of people looking to remember what the people who went before us went through so that we could walk over that bridge 50 years later without fear.

See the bold part in the statement above. It seems you stopped reading/comperhending at the word re-enactment.

Again for those who are slow to understand, the example of a war re enactment was used to underline the importance of repersenting both sides in a rememberance. That what war re enactments are. That is why I also used the proper example of the Germans and Jews both being repersented in the Auschwitz.
Again with out true repersentation of both sides, what you have ceases to be a rememberance of things past, and you replace it with propaganda.
I am not using the propaganda as a hot topic/elicite a response word. Propaganda's literal defination is based on those actions.

/ˌpräpəˈɡandə/
noun
noun: propaganda; noun: Propaganda
1.derogatory information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

If the otherside is not repersented in anyway, then you have a bias that is being used to promote a particular political point.

Again That Is Why German Involvement Is So Accuratly Portrayed In The Properly Done Auschwitz rememberance.

You watched a different movie than the one I watched. The film I watched vilified Governor Wallace, who called for segregation forever. It vilified the Trooper who murdered Jimmie Lee Jackson. It vilified the real systemic problems that purposely put people of color at a disadvantage. It did not vilify all white authority. It vilified that white authority. That system.

Appearently it was a different movie than what Joseph A. Califano Jr. of the Washington Post or JENNIFER SCHUESSLER of the NY Times saw as well. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/t...story.html

You are so seriously deluded by the bullshit you watch on Fox News.

or the washington post or the NY Times...

No one has EVER said that every white man was lining up in the streets to kick every black man. I have not heard it.

And I did not say that, did I? I simply asked where 60's police officers also repersented in that march? Because with out them King, jackson, and all the other civial rights leaders would have been strung up long before they became house hold names.

I know it to not be true. The movie Selma showed some of those white people lining up to march with Dr. King in the second march. But you won't acknowledge that.

:Jerkoff: you do even know what is being discussed do you? You want to argue the typical white/black crap, and I'm pointing to all the grey that 'you people' want to ignore to push white/black propaganda.

What I'm trying to bring attention to is the truth that propagandists seem to forget. That if not for the 'bad guys' in today's media (police and goverment officals) civial rights would remain a dream that we dare not speak of. Movies like selma tend to be more hate inspiring and segergational than educational or informitive. Then to put on a remberance march without proper repersentation of both side reaks of brain washing!

You have some utter nerve to accuse ANYONE of rewriting history to suit their agenda. You want to discount the idea of telling the story of those who struggled because there were some people present that were doing the bare minimum as decent humans? You don't want their story to get washed out when we look back?

Educate your self before you speak next time. just do a simple google search before you respond in a forum, to at least see where your opponet is comming from. Otherwise you look the fool when someone like me provides legit evidence to support the unpopular thing I just said.

I'll tell you what, Drich. You sing the hymns of the aggrieved white man, who has it so hard these days. Sing it loud. Hopefully someone will give a shit. It's not me.

Again, your a douche for not knowing this is not a black or white discussion. It is a discussion of the truth, and how the truth is being hidden away for black and white discussions.
