Focus on Racism. Interview with Judy Siff and Bill Crossman of the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee on their class 'Culture Clash' on the history of white supremacy and its impact on U.S. history. At the occasion of the Million Man March, racism is on the public agenda for the first time in many years. Siff and Crossman note how 1995 has been a remarkable year for
publicity of racism, particularly the Mumia Abu Jamal and Susan Smith cases. They believe that the problem of race in the U.S. transcends racism to root inequality through institutions, including a very central role of the police
and judicial system in promoting white supremacy. They argue that the white perception of reality needs to change, that a new common consciousness must be forged. They note how racism targets many different groups in the U.S., not just Blacks, and how mainstream white society usually turns a blind eye.

Focus on Racism continued. Interview with Judy Siff and Bill Crossman of the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee on their class 'Culture Clash' on the history of white supremacy and its impact on U.S. history. Siff and Crossman
talk about the book 'The Myth of the White Proletariat' that challenges deep myths of White America. According to the book, popular misconceptions regarding race and racism in the U.S. stem historically from the national foundation, particularly notions about who the early settlers were, what the existing native population was like, and who actually benefited from the system of slavery. Siff and Crossman argue that this nation was an empire from the start, seizing and subjugating nations, and that the nation as a whole benefited from slavery. They believe that all white people no matter what social class, has benefited from white supremacy.
