1. Passing is the best novella ever written to me. I think the movie is a great visual for the book. 2. May I make a request for a Toni Morrison video? Would love to hear what you think of her works and how she fits into the fantasy/paranormal space.

This was so good. Very thorough as always. I honestly think if you wanted to for that Ph. D you'd kill it!

Nationalism is a disease. Hell yes. This was so good. If you ever make that video about race and antiquity, I'm so there. I bring some of those issues to the high schoolers I teach and I find that being faced with a couple of primary sources showing such different thinking about race briefly rewires their thinking on race and history in a way that very little else does so I'd love one of your source lists and top notch takes for a better deep dive for myself.

Amazing vide (as always)! But like, this one hit different. I'm also black and Caribbean, so your remarks about how shitty nationalism is and how you identify with your enslaved answers above all made me feel really seen. I come from a "I no black, I Dominican (or Cuban)" family, so I get gaslit into oblivion by my brown-skinned family whenever I bring up the subject, especially because I'm light-skinned.

I second this comment.

I always love when you do any deep dives into history and I really liked this type of video! Would be really excited for more in the future. I'm sorry if I missed a caption but what is the tv series/movie you used at 28:00? It looks really good I would like to check it out.

This is great. I just started watching The Feast of All Saints and this background is helpful in understanding. It’s been uploaded on YouTube if anyone else wants to watch
