He's a leading representative of a movement

trying to reclaim Mexico's lost lands.

Did the United States steal half

of Mexico in the Mexican War?

Yes, and the wealth of those areas.

California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas,

the oil, the minerals,

would have made Mexico

a premier economic power,

like it's becoming now.

When I went one time with my father

to Mexico to visit relatives,

we were in an old classroom

and they had a map of North

America up in the classroom.

And it had the area that's

the American Southwest

from Texas to California

cross-thatched

with the colors of Mexico

and the United States,

and they had named that area

provincias perdidas, lost provinces.

They have killed us, beat us,

drugged us, knocked us and

raped us and robbed us.

Done everything but the right thing.

We don't see any American dream.

We've experienced only

the American nightmare.

We took Africans from their

country to build our way of ease

and kept them enslaved

and living in fear.

Well, obviously as a

black person in America,

it's, um, a part of the

wretched history of this nation

that my foremothers and forefathers

were not seen as fully human.

I spoke to the African American

scholar Michael Eric Dyson

at Georgetown University.

Has Obama's election

and re-election...

Doesn't that say something

about the end of racism?

I would not deny at all that American

has made enormous progress.

Are we there yet? No.

America doesn't want to confront

the vicious inequalities

that it set loose in this nation.

Absorbing things that are not yours.

Taking stuff that is not yours.

We can say thievery was a critical element

to the expansion of American empire

and the establishment of

the American way of life.

150 years ago at the

height of slavery,

another man made an even more

passionate indictment of America.

The American slave,

what is your 4th of July?

I answer a day that reveals to him

more than all other days in a year,

a gross injustice.

Your celebration is a sham.

You profess to believe that of

one blood God made all nations

and hath commanded all men

everywhere to love one another.

Yet, you notoriously hate

and glory in your hatred all men whose

skin are not colored like your own.

Meet Frederick Douglass.

Born a slave, he escaped to freedom

and became a champion of

the antislavery movement.

You can bare your bosom to

the storm of British artillery

to throw off a three-penny tax on tea

and yet wring the last

hard-earned farthing

from the grasp of the black

laborers of your country.

There is not a nation on the earth

guilty of practices more shocking

and bloody

than are the people of the United
