Description

We venture back into the oeuvre of conservative firebrand Dinesh D'Souza and watch AMERICA: IMAGINE THE WORLD WITHOUT HER (2014). Seeking to offer a counter-narrative to Howard Zinn's counter-narrative, D'Souza dusts off his trademark thesis that, actually, America is NOT racist - although if it is, it's the Democrats who are REALLY racist. This was a rough one, folks. We suffer for you, the listener.
