The 90's, episode 306: ""RACE AND RACISM - RED, WHITE AND BLACK"
01:09 Cold Open from ""This Week in Joe's Basement,"" a cable access show in Chicago. A man on the street is asked what he thinks of black people. ""I got a difference between black people and niggers. Niggers are gang bangers. Black people are people who have respect for other people...I like black people. Niggers, I don't like."" A friend comes up and is asked what he thinks of black people. He replies, ""I don't like 'em"" and walks away. The first man explains his friend's views, ""Some people have different opinions. He don't have a difference. He don't like blacks period... It's just the way I was raised -- my mom and dad. Well, really my dad, he was like that. I always heard 'nigger' come out of their mouths. I pretty much ran into that."" 02:50 ""This Week in Joe's Basement"" by Joe Winston. A man-on-the-street interviewer asks African Americans what they think about white people. The first, a half black, half white University of Chicago student laughs at the fact that the interviewer assumed he was black. A second man explains his trouble respecting white people due to persisting racial inequalities. 04:13 ""On the street in Los Angeles."" A woman in Los Angeles comments on the impact the publicity surrounding the Rodney King beating will have on black children. ""Which is the child going to be more afraid of -- the cop or the crack dealer on the corner?"" 04:36 More from ""This Week in Joe's Basement"". A black woman comments, ""To me there's nothing wrong with the white people. I love them just as I love the blacks."" 09:05 Excerpt from 1940's Anti-German propaganda film. The film depicts a distinguished-looking professor addressing a class of young German students: ""There is no scientific proof that there's any correlation between a man's racial characteristics and his native ability or character... We must judge each man as an individual..."" As he relays this controversial information, soldiers burst into the room to remove him. As they approach, he remains defiant: ""And remember that there is no master race. That is a scientific truth! Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying!"" 11:16 ""La Conversacion"" by Deep Dish TV. A phone call between Guillermo Gomez-Pena in San Diego and Coco Fusco in New York who talk about the societal concept of the American melting pot. ""The problem is that the blacks, Latinos, and the Native Americans have never been part of this cooking project."" 12:34 ""Mohawk Crises at Oka"" by Robbie Leppzer & Sara Elinoff. In Kanehsatake, Quebec, the Mohawk Indians have resisted the government's attempt to take away a part of their sacred burial ground in order to build a nine hole golf course... A spokeswoman for the tribe says: ""This is a community. This is not a house under siege. This is a whole community... Canada has violated international law, yet they condemn Iraq for the invasion of Kuwait. What kind of hypocritical government do you people agree to live under?""... Rick Hornung of the Village Voice comments on the crisis and its outcome with accompanying pictures of the Mohawk surrender depicting the unnecessary brutality executed by the Canadian troops. 19:38 ""Gil Scott Heron"" by Skip Blumberg. Gil Scott Heron explains the meaning of his famous saying: ""What that catch phrase - 'the revolution will not be televised' - what that was all about: The first change that takes place is in your mind. Your have to change your mind before you change the way you live... The thing that is going to change people is something that you can never capture on film."" 20:57 ""Rose Auger"" by Robbie Leppzer. Rose Auger, a medicine woman living Ecuador, urges Aboriginal peoples of the Americas to restore the spiritual balance to the world. ""The world is really messed up. If we do not begin to act on it, the we are all going to be destroyed. The people of the modern society... to me their spiritual God is money and power... That's not the way we're supposed to be."" 28:14 ""Prof. William King commentary"" by Jimmy Sternfield. ""Capitalism is predicated on the principle of exclusion. Democracy is predicated on the principle of inclusion. So you gotta decide which one. You can't have both."" 29:08 ""Drive Through Watts"" by Jim Mulryan. In a pickup truck driving through the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, James Woods, an African American man, and Matthew Lang, a white man, discuss racism in America. According to Woods, ""Racism in America is like a disease, like alcoholism."" He lists the stages of dealing with alcoholism, emphasizing the prevalence of denial, in order to imply that most Americans are racist yet do not realize it. He discusses the difficulties faced by young African-American men who are looking for jobs, insisting that a white man with the same qualifications will always be chosen over the black man. Lang does not believe that racism is as extreme a problem as Woods claims, instead attributing the rampant unemployment of African-American males to other issues, such as poor education. 32:08 ""Prof. Rudolph Acuna commentary"" by Nancy Cain. Prof. Rudolph Acuna of California State University at Northridge refers to the recent act by the U.S. Government of forgiving 70% of Poland's debt. He claims that at the same time that the U.S. was being so generous to this European country, services for minorities within the U.S. were suffering. He finds this to be part of a larger system of injustice against minorities. ""It's a white on white game."" 39:30 More from ""Driving Through Watts."" Lang and Woods argue about the importance of names and political correctness. Lang: ""I'm not going to call you African-American... It's a pseudo-statement."" Woods replies, ""I call you what you want to be called."" ""Call me Baby Doll,"" says Lang, to which Woods says, ""Baby Doll, I don't mind that at all."" 40:03 ""Black Memorabilia Show"" by Eddie Becker. A visit to a convention of black memorabilia collectors in Washington, D.C. Collectors debate the issue of whether painful representations of African Americans should be buried or saved as reminders of the past struggle. A black woman points to a collection of ""colored"" restroom signs and says, ""We need to have these up in our home so our children know."" 49:35 ""Mandela in America"" by Globalvision. Betty Shabazz (Malcolm X' s wife) and Winnie Mandela (Nelson Mandela's wife), talk about the legacy of Malcolm X. 50:24 ""El Dorado Park, South Africa"" by Andrew Jones. A piece about El Dorado Park, S.A., a ""colored"" township where blacks (and other ethnic minorities) were forced to live under apartheid. There are currently 300,000 residents. Jones interviews various ""colored"" individuals (who may be black, Indian, Chinese, or any combination), who describe the indignities of apartheid. One man points out the racial codes listed in every passport. ""Black to us is not a skin color, it is a political position."" A black man concludes, ""I have outgrown apartheid. I am a man. Period."" 54:43 ""Fran and Tak"" by Skip Blumberg. Fran Korenman talks about her mother's reaction to her husband Takayoshi Yoshida. She says it was easier for her Jewish mother to deal with their interracial relationship when Tak demonstrated a minimal knowledge of Yiddish. 55:46 ""Charles Cooke"" by Jay April. Charles Cooke, a Chumash Indian Chief, is asked about his feelings about involving whites in his struggles for Native American rights. He replies, ""You have to have the camaraderie, that fellowship, that brotherhood. That creates this type of thing where people have to come together."

82924 “LO LO MIA” 1949 NAVAJO & APACHE NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES / INDIANS EDUCATIONAL FILM
This 1949 film takes a look at certain Native American people, including tribes of the Navajo and Apache tribes as they make an annual pilgrimage to the so-called "Indian Capital" of Gallup, New Mexico. The film was produced by Phil E. Cantonwine (:19) and narrated by Perry King (:24). It is of the educational series call “Know Your Land” (:32). It opens with swaths of the Native American’s lands with their primitive dwellings erected onto it (:45). The Native Americans had managed to retain a simple and patient way of life that had been preserved over centuries (1:04). A Navajo squaw is seen working with wool pulled from the tribe’s sheep (1:30) which will be weaved into the large rugs that are world renowned (1:48). Riding along a modern highway with automobiles, is a caravan of Native Americans in carriages drawn by horses as they begin the long pilgrimage to Gallup (2:11). Annually, various tribes from the great plains and the entire south west head for Gallup where they worship and will conduct traditional dances (2:31). Native American banners are seen waving in Gallup (2:42) and the parade is to be opened by the American flag (2:51). Native tribes follow (2:57). The ceremonies conducted include dances which the natives do in the same way as their ancestors had centuries ago (3:19). Each movement is to be done according to the ancient law of exactness (3:32). These dances are the oldest form of American folklore that exists and tell tales of the prehistoric race (3:36). Women of the Zuni tribe walk through the center of the parade with decorated pottery balancing on the tops of their heads (3:50). Apache double dancers follow (4:25) who are masters of intricate step dances. Native American wagons are seen riding through the parade procession towards the ceremonial grounds as spectators look on (5:08). Tribal dances will be seen here as well as bronco riders (5:25). While William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, the Native Americans of the south west were in their golden era of pueblo building (5:53). Here they conduct the same buffalo dances they had conducted centuries ago (6:01). The animal ceremonies are among the oldest of their traditions (6:01) as nature is deeply rooted in their spiritual beliefs. Some of the dances are conducted for rain or for banishment of fear in tormented souls (6:37). Scenes of bronco riders attempting to rope cattle follows (7:17). All of the tribes held the belief that animals had the gift of speech and many tribes have legends around specific animals (9:07). The Apache dictate that it was the coyote who brought them fire and they uphold the animal with respect because of this (9:11). The Navajo however, see the coyote as an unfavorable omen and if one of the tribesmen is to cross paths with a coyote on route for a journey, they will turn back and wait three days prior to starting out again (9:15). All of the tribes respect the buffalo (9:28). Most of the dances are spiritual, though some are done specifically for fun such as one with a man from the Pueblo tribe conducting a gymnastic dance through hoops (10:16). This is the final dance of the ceremony and the tribes will begin to make their long voyage home afterwards (10:37). The film begins to wrap up with another shot of the Native American’s land and with a piece of a Native American phrase for goodbye which is ‘forbid that I judge any man until I have walked for two moons in his moccasins” (12:02). The film ends at (12:17) and was presented by Bengal Picture. <p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

The 90's, episode 217: LIFE IN THE GREY AREAS
00:55 ""Advice Ladies"" by Skip Blumberg. Women who give advice on New York City streets warn us: ""People are doing the wrong drugs. Instead of all the good drugs that they did in the '60s they're doing drugs that mess you up, like crack and heavier versions of crack. If people just changed their drugs, everything would be fine."" 02:20 ""Wavy Gravy"" by Pat Creadon. At Weedstock in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, Wavy Gravy, the perennial countercultural figure, speaks about legalizing marijuana. He says: ""Let's get real, herb should be legalized, I'm tired of my friends getting put away for smoking a little herb. Part of my spiritual life is smoking herb."" ""The '90s are the '60s standing on their head."" 03:51 ""Indian Alley"" by Jim Mulryan. Homeless, alcoholic Native Americans talk about their problems on the streets of Los Angeles. Conrad Hunter: ""We drink so much, the thing is we're losing each other...We sold our buffalo hide...just for the alcohol...It makes me feel real good. When I open the bottle. Drink...I don't care about nobody but myself...but now when I'm kinda sober, I realize who's hurting who. I'm hurting myself."" 09:08 ""Rev. Calvin O. Butts"" by Esti Galili Marpet. Rev. Butts speaks: ""The politicians really have no concern about the people of the United States of America...The only concern is with the dollar...If they can exploit America in this process they will...There really is no love for the children of this country...I think it's a cruel hoax and I think it's deception... It really approaches evil...The infrastructure of America is weakening, so we become vulnerable to our enemies. And the captains of industry and commerce will just go wherever they can to make their quick cash. "" 15:52 ""Street Drugs"" (AKA Father Bill Davis / Christic Institute) by Eddie Becker. Father Bill Davis spent the last ten years in a poor, drug-infested neighborhood a stone's throw away from the nation's capital in Washington D.C. He's outraged at the government's ""war on drugs."" Davis comments that ""It's just a PR campaign... how can we purport to have a major war on drugs when foreign policy supports drug cartels?"" He is convinced that drugs are only part of the problem - unemployment, housing conditions and hunger are the real issues. ""People who have very few choices in their lives are told to say no,"" he says. 19:00 Richard Dennis, chairman, Advisory Board Drug Policy Foundation, speaks: ""The current drug policy is doing kids a disservice...it's saying that all drugs are the same and it's setting up kids to have endless doubts about what authority figures say and if they can be trusted. Minority neighborhoods are being used as staging zones for drug warriors to attack dealers in order to protect people in the suburbs from themselves...the War on Drugs is regressive."" 23:27 ""Tom McKean"" by Joel Cohen. Ex-cocaine addict McKean does open line radio and talks to school kids in Chicago's inner city about how to avoid peer pressure and drug use. He says that ""government is not the answer, prison is not the answer, rehabilitation is the answer...The reason we do drugs is because we live fast-paced lives and we have needs and we don't know what to do...Kids need to be loved off drugs."" 31:39 More from ""Wavy Gravy."" Gravy tells us of his dislike for cocaine. 42:24 ""Robert Sundance"" by Jim Mulryan. Robert Sundance on the DTs, ""I didn't know if you cut yourself off from booze, you'd get withdrawls, which is the DTs...It was a horrible experience. After you go through them 50 or 100 times you kinda know what to expect."" He goes on to say that the secret to success for the Native American Indian is sobriety. Only then will the Native American be able to rightfully control his affairs. ""We should be getting something out of all our natural resources which are being stolen from us. The federal government doesn't want that to happen. So alcoholism for American Indians is a conspiracy between the United States of America and the giant multinational corporations who want to get into the treaty lands and exploit the resources. The genocide of today is alcoholism."" 49:15 ""Captain Ed"" by Chuck Cirino. Captain Ed takes us through a tour of his head shop in Los Angeles. As the camera pans a selection of bongs and other paraphernalia, Ed says, ""These are the things that they want me to stop carrying. We've been an honorable business, we're under the gun. My business shouldn't be harassed."" In the black light room Ed talks about voting, ""If Byrne votes in 1992, they'll give us what we want the next time around...If you don't use it, you're gonna lose it...If we vote, they'll be on our list."" 56:33 Joe Cummings reads Viewer Mail under the end credits. ""Yes, good news, PBS has scheduled The 90's in prime time starting in April."

Wide shot of US Senate Majority leader Tom Daschle completing final mile of "Sovereignty Run" in front of the Supreme Court 2. Medium shot of Native Americans playing drums 3. SOUNDBITE: (English)Tom Daschle, US Senate Majority Leader,Senator from South Dakota: "Well tribal sovereignty in South Dakota is a very important issue. Giving the tribes the opportunity to make their own decisions about their people, about their laws,about their culture is something we have to continue to strive to do. I think this deals message to that realisation." 4. Medium shot of members of various US Native American tribes 5. Medium shot of keepers of the faith (spiritual leaders) 6. Medium shot of keepers of the faith speaking in their native language 7. Wide shot of demonstrators in front of the Supreme Court 8. SOUNDBITE: (English) Tex G. Hall, President of National Congress of American Indians: "Supreme Court of course, starts today. It convenes its fall session. There is two very important tribal cases, the Navajo case, the Shirley vs Atkinson and the Nevada vs Hicks. Both have undermined tribal sovereignty, don't recognise the tribe's ability to impose a hotel tax. And it allows state jurisdiction to come on the reservation and it defies the Chief Marshall's ruling that tribes have the inherent right to self-government and to have complete jurisdiction over its land, its reservation and its people." 9. Medium shot of Native American man holding banner 10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Tex G. Hall, President of National Congress of American Indians: "We just think that the Supreme Court is taking a different shift, that it is a shift that we are very fearful with. In the last twenty-five years it's been gradual. But in the last, I would say two years, it's been more of an abrupt shift for more states' rights versus protection of tribal sovereignty. So we are all for protecting state's rights, but we are also for (want) the same. You have to have equal treatment and equal parity in the tribal governments." 11. Wide shot of demonstrators at rally panning to Supreme Court STORYLINE: Runners representing hundreds of native American Indian tribes and Alaska Native, in an effort to publicise American Indian tribal sovereignty and the right to self-government, arrived in Washington, DC on Monday. The 2,800 mile "Sovereignty Run" is part of a larger programme called the Tribal Governance and Economic Enhancement Initiative. The initiative is a coordinated pan-tribal strategy created to redress the effect of recent Supreme Court rulings which have reduced tribes' powers of self-government. US Senate Majority leader, Tom Daschle from South Dakota, showed his support by participating in the final leg of the race from Washington National Cathedral to the Supreme Court. Daschle said it was crucial to give the tribes the opportunity to make their own decisions about their people, about their laws, and about their culture. The run began on 11 September 2002, at the Pacific Ocean at Taholah, Washington, on the Quinault Indian Reservation and ended on the steps of the US Supreme Court. Tex G. Hall, president of The National Congress of American Indians, argued that there has to be parity and equality between states and tribal governments.

The Alcatraz Occupation lasted for nineteen months, from November 20, 1969, to June 11, 1971, and was forcibly ended by the U.S. government. In the early morning hours of November 20, 1969, 79 American Indians, including students, married couples and six children, set out to occupy Alcatraz Island. A partially successful Coast Guard blockade prevented most of them from landing, but fourteen protesters landed on the island to begin their occupation. The stated intention of the Occupation was to gain Indian control over the island for the purpose of building a center for Native American Studies, an American Indian spiritual center, an ecology center, and an American Indian Museum. The occupiers specifically cited their treatment under the Indian termination policy and they accused the U.S. government of breaking numerous Indian treaties.) CU of families walking on Alcatraz.
