Jack Forbes, Ph D. on For the People, SC ETV 1990-1991 Jack Forbes Ph D. talks with Listervelt Middleton on For the People between 1990 and 1992. I recorded several programs in a row on SC ETV then. This is a compilation of 3 or 4 programs. A very instructive conversation is about the ruthlessness of white supremacy in the Americas and the world and the relationships between Africans and Natives in time, especially after the arrival of modern Europeans in the so-called "New World" but also before that period of time. It covers the grabbing and exploitation of resources by Europeans, including people as resources like all others in the eyes of racists imperialists and invaders. Pr Forbes reminds us that the ideology of race and its multiple implications play a major role in the strategies used by the European nations that invaded, occupied and colonized the rest of the world. Christopher Columbus is a key figure as the slaver who initiated the transatlantic slave trade by taking Native Americans to Southern Europe.

Unfortunately the audio is very bad, but the content is so powerful that it's worth ignoring this, if possible of course.
