Docu started very strong, facts short and straightforward. 
As time went on the docu became less so.

Last 10 minutes on the anti-racist were pretty weak. 

Addressing a Thomas Jefferson is understandable but "putting down" Abraham Lincoln as a racist is quite weird. 
The assumption that he only abolished slavery for person gain and a better economy is tremendously short-sighted though. 
In addition, it is not good to judge a white progressive man from that time with a current perspective.  

The idea that black people fought for their freedom all by themselves is nice, but not entirely realistic.

Muchas cosas para pensar, pero la que me vino a la mente durante todo el documental fue: que miedo usa. 

Pd. Abraham Lincoln fue 1 vampiro como los Volturi, no como los Cullen.

Fascinating, heartbreaking, infuriating, uncomfortable and entirely necessary viewing. I've read Dr. Kendi's books previously, including How to Be an Antiracist, and he's such a strong and eloquent and educated voice. It's horrifying that society doesn't seem to be progressing in the last 100 years, but it's not enough to just watch a movie like this, you need to take the lessons from it and work on being proactively antiracist.

The film itself is structured well, and uses animation to bring certain sections to life. The recreation sections didn't always work for me and took me out of it in places, but not enough to lesson the impact.
