News21: Hate in America - This documentary covers the legacy of hate, and how it shaped America
I strongly recommended folks to see this documentary that, among other things, illuminates the connection between fundamentalist Christianity and violence. This is not unlike the kind of violence and terror that people in our country more commonly associates with Islamic extremism. In this case, what we are seeing is homegrown extremism, unfortunately, connected to a long legacy of settler colonialism and white supremacy.
