Ken Burns: Tucker Carlson and DeSantis Are Trying to Superimpose White Supremacy Over Us
‘There is a kind of fear of the other’
EXCERPT:
LEMON: "You call it a narrowing. We have to run, but it’s racism, right?"
BURNS: "Well, I think it’s -- right now it’s just white supremacy. There is a kind of fear of the other. And so what you are seeing, we saw it in our film on the Holocaust, you know, it’s easy to make a person other. Let me just put it simply, Don, this way: I have been making films for almost 50 years about the U.S. -- capital U, capital S -- but I’ve also been making films about us, the plural pronoun, and anytime anybody tells you that it’s anything else other than us, there’s only us. When somebody tells you there is a them, move away. Move away. There is no them, there’s only us."
