Caught this on Netflix streaming and was blown away. This is not for the faint hearted. From start to end, it takes a very very unique and highly effective intelligence to be able to string all historical facts and/or influences, mash it with relevant humor and animated impressions, and then proceed to keep a classroom audience riveted for more than 90 minutes, is in itself, historic. Even those with attention deficit syndrome would have had succumbed to his magic. I thoroughly enjoyed this powerfully crafted "history lesson" for his tribe and felt empowered to apply the motivation of healthy self respect in all aspects of life, regardless of race. John's exquisite talent is evident and given the right perspective, Emmy worthy. History is full of ugly, evil and forgotten injustices but invaluable lessons learnt can shape and decide different destinies toward self greatness. P Any student under this class should have no problems graduating with distinction. Hope this special is used as a template to start a new change movement for a new awareness and brighter future beginning for all marginalized humanity. Gracias Professor John!

It is true, history was written by the winning side. That fact never changes unfortunately. I personally found this "stand up" if thats how its classified, very much worth watching. I am not usually into stand up. Its just not where my usual interests lie. I stumbled on this while just lookingon Netflix for something to have on as background... Well, that plan didn't work, as I ended up glued to the screen instead of it just being background. I wasn't expecting an actual history lesson, but I'm glad I watched it. The facts were all there, and true. Everything you weren't taught in school because it was swept under the rug. I can see this show offending close minded, bigoted people, if you are one then save yourself the rant and just don't watch. Anyone that gets offended is just that, even if they don't realize they are that way. Freedom of speech works both ways. I was laughing through most of this. I absolutely love how he acted things out, I get distracted easily and have a hard time watching stand up just because most of the time its just a person with a mic talking. That doesn't work for me. Which is actually why I put this on. So I could clean while listening off and on. Now I am behind schedule so I will get back to it lol... But I just loved this so much I had to leave a rating before getting back to my cleaning.

Well researched, cleverly written and brilliant performance. This is fine theater! a must watch!
