The famous historian Ken Burns gave a commencement speech at Brandeis University last weekend. It was a powerful speech that is directed at this moment in American history. He spoke truth.

The entire speech was great.

Well one would really have to be both stupid and ignorant to believe that. Of course some opinions are more well reasoned and have a stronger basis in reality than others.

This is just bullshit people spew when they don't like an opinion, but have no counterpoint against it.

It'd have been better without current examples.

James Baldwin "We are living in a universe really of willing slaves, which makes the concept of liberty and the concept of freedom so dangerous."

What wonderfully stupid response it’s the bullshit people spew when they accept without question any opinion they agree with. It’s standard for camp followers.

Liberals pride themselves on being smarter than everyone else, particularly conservatives

When in fact most of them are only average at best

Ken Burns is no slouch, but he aint the ultimate fountain of wisdom either

And he’s talking gibberish here

The entire speech was great.

Yes it was.

Conservatives generally set that bar pretty low so...................

Again, another steaming pile of intellectual laziness and aggressive ignorance. Embarrassing.

You must ask your mailman his opinion on your medical.conditions. How do you even feed yourself?

It's always interesting to see and hear from folks that have shaped this nation.

This was really good, I enjoyed it. I don't often agree on much with socialists/communists, but I strongly am in favor of their right to speak, and he makes many excellent points about America. I love that he loves America as much as we both do.

You should take his advice on, "othering."



I definitely agreed with his POV on Trump, but Kamala was not any better. She othered just as much as Trump did.

Burns would never endorse you characterizing every person on this forum who does not agree with your politics as "racists."

It was interesting that I was reading Singer's Shosha (1978) for the first time at about the same time as Burns was praising him last year.


The video in your OP is no longer there. It is now listed as private.

If you care, contact staff and have them replace it with this one;

This is how fascist cults work, canceling people once they're declared EnemiesOfTheParty.

Needless to say, you don't see liberals doing it. Cancel culture is purely a conservative cancer.

The illusions are strong in that one.
