This is a “short” video explaining the various forms of government found throughout our world. Perhaps I was sleeping during Social Studies, but I never truly understood the differences between a Republic and a Democracy. I remembered that we were founded as a Republic, but not much else.
Luckily I did not sleep through this video.

I am going to go out on a limb here and post a YouTube video. I’ll let it speak for itself and then give my opinion.
As mentioned before, I am from the South. Yeehaw… or something like that. I imagine that when people think of the South, at some point they think of racism and slavery. It is sad that one hundred and forty six years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1st, 1863 race is still at the forefront of many people’s thoughts, conversations and reactions.
I suppose I am not following through with Mr. Freeman’s suggestion on how to end racism, which was to ”Stop talking about it.” But I feel that this video should be seen by as many people as possible. Especially people who have knee jerk reactions to cartoons news stories or people who benefit from pouring gasoline onto the racism fire.
Am I wrong?
I suppose this is another reason I like and respect Morgan Freeman.
