Toni Morrison has characterized race relations in the US as depending on something she calls the "escape from knowledge." This film epitomizes the resistance to self-examination that often calls itself objective history. This is like what would happen if the Germans made a film about WWII in which they talked about how Hitler built the Autobahn and wondered where all the Jews went.
