Saw a great documentary tonight from PBS

Exposing the Myth of Southern Charm

Being in Mobile, a lot of it rang familiar. The Lost Cause still lives and breathes here.

The documentary is especially salient in light of the last couple of weeks of news.

1. Thanks! I record Independent Lens and

didn’t find this in my recordings or as upcoming on my PBS station.

As a former Southerner, definitely want to watch!

2. Thanks!

I’ll look it up. I was thinking about when I was a kid in the 1960s South and how racists made life difficult for everyone in their crusade to oppress “others”. And by “others” I mean non-MAGA, non-violent, unconvinced, ordinary Americans and immigrants.

I gotta say, in my seventh decade, Nazis are always just one generation—15 to 20 years—away from taking power. If society lets them. Don’t let them, we must always be on guard.

Like weeds, roaches, and infectious diseases they will multiply and take over if left uncontrolled.

5. Thank you for the recommendation.

I'm a passport member but I hadn't heard about this one. I will definitely watch it as I'm a "Yankee" who lived in the South for ten years. I saw right through some of their revisionist histories, especially when it came to Southern women and racism.

6. The documentary is titled "Natchez".

I couldn't find it in PBS Passport initially, but that's because I searched for the title of the above YouTube video.

Thanks for sharing, nonetheless!

Again, people should look for:
Independent Lens - Natchez

7. Why would you need to look for it on Passport

when the entire thing is linked above?

8. maybe they want to watch it on their TV instead of their computer

[llmart]

10. That would have been my response also.

With vision problems I don't watch things on my computer or phone. That's why I have a 55" TV.

9. Thanks. I was just going to post the same thing.

Took me awhile to find it on my PBS because there was no such title. The actual title is "Natchez". You are correct.

11. Thank you, misanthrope

Bookmarked!
