Whiteness Is a Rich Man's Trick (Divide & Conquer)
"The white “race” was invented by rich Virginians in 1676 in the aftermath of a populous rebellion of impoverished, indentured, and enslaved Africans and Europeans now known as Bacon’s Rebellion."
This is a clip from "The History of White People in America," presented by Independent Lens.

Hidden in the depths of the Klamath-Siskiyou mountains is a world few have seen. Complex geology, climatic conditions, and impassibly rugged river canyons have inspired some of the greatest technological feats of history — technology created by life over billions of evolutionary cycles to survive otherwise unsurvivable conditions.

The film director's comment on this clip: "The media won’t tell you #Gaza is a warehouse of millions of ethnically cleansed Palestinian refugees who live trapped under brutal Israeli blockade. Here’s the forbidden historical context from #GazaFightsForFreedom.
