In Part 2 of our deep dive, we unpack how right-wing influencers like Candace Owens and Matt Walsh, and platforms like PragerU, are rewriting history to downplay the horrors of American chattel slavery. We explore the false equivalence between U.S. slavery and ancient systems, examine how Nazi Germany borrowed from Jim Crow laws, and discuss how caste, race, and colonial violence continue to shape our present. From revisionist narratives about African complicity to the demonization of Indigenous peoples, this episode exposes the propaganda campaign to erase the legacy of white supremacy in the U.S.
