No.  He's a leftist.

How is he a leftist?  I agree that he gives a black angle to all of his films, but he generally does make great films.

"But you see, I also wanted to depict the Nazis, excuse me, Germans, as human beings as well and that not all of them were bad. I also want to have a scene of American soldiers raping a German woman to show that our armed forces aren't always good. It will send my point across that our evil, oppressive military was really no better than the Wehrmacht. It will also prove that at least six million Jews suffering in concentration camps is no excuse for Amerikkka to invade and occupy the little Deutschland."

Ken Burns already is making a big deal about blacks being segrated in the military at the time and with the Japenese in camps.

Burns is a leftist white hater. I monitor a show on Public Radio called latino usa, where the white hater maria hinojosa had a story on burns' documentary on WW2. To make a long story short, the hispanics smelt blood in the water and they knew what a self hating sissy this white piece of trash is, and the mexicraps went after him and they won. All the gang members, ms 13 and the like demanded that he alter his documentary to suit the mexicraps. Naturally the sissy, he does seem to have 'little girlie like' manners  caved in. You will see a doctored up version of WW2. Eisnenhower will be problably be protrayed as a young hispanic who changed his name from jose to dwight due to racism. McArthur's real name was pedro bandito until it was changed by his mother celia cruz santa banana aguado saint simone augustus santa anna, who was on the frontline on fighting for orange pickers' rights. The reason Douglas, excuse me, pedrorequested duty in the pacifice before WW2 was due to the fact that orientals were not anti hispanic and that douglas, excuse me, pedro, could prove himself to the racist gringo pigs who only wanted to keep him down. Was that politically correct enough or should I make up more for 'hispanic appreciation month'.
