The Machines That Built America: Plane Pioneers

how can the "History" Channel reenact a 1910 air show in LA with a US Flag that has 50 stars. just freeze the frame with Bill Boeing and count: 6 rows of 5 (30) and 4 rows of 5 stars (20). it should have had 46 stars. The 48 stars was adopted in July of 1912 and the modern 50 star flag that includes Hawaii was in 1960.

It's one thing to use the wrong stock film footage (like the review of King Tiger tanks that happened on the eastern front when the topic of the show is the Battle of the Bulge), but this was filmed for the History Channel.

At least Cameron updated the night sky for the Titanic after deGrasse Tyson busted him, what's it going to take for the History Channel to pay attention to something this obvious as the wrong US flag?

Prejudice against white prople

I was a History channel lover from its first show! I also loved History 2 !

You have sold out to the black cry babies of this country and I am sick of it!!
I agree 100% with the person who wrote about the blacks indocunated on oak island program. That person has it completely correct!! He is completely correct about white people fought and saved this country! BLacks would still be slaves and if white people, 600,000, white of them I must add, didn’t die for the black freedom. So why aren’t black people happy about that? I guess a million white deaths for them isn’t enough!?
White people built this country!!! Yes slaves were used, mistreated etc but the entire world used slaves at that time!!! Get it through your heads! And criticizing President Jefferson for owning slaves is disgusting!!! Let me say this:” SLAVERY WAS LEGAL at the time President Jefferson owned slaves!!! LEGAL. Everything blacks have done in history of the USA was and continues to be illegal!! Just the other day a black man complained “ because he didn’t have tickets to see Chuck Berry in concert and his buddies and him jumped the turnstile to get in for free. He was arrested by security and he complained that he was arrested because he was black “ No ! stop it!! You broke the rules! Blacks constantly complain about Harrassment but the truth is they are always braking the law or the rules of a private club or arena..

Black people do not want equality like they always say on the news. It’s a lie! If they did, why do they continue, to this day, to separate themselves with for example, requiring the June holiday to be federal!! How dare they? MLK holiday was not enough? What federal holiday is just for white people? NONE !! Heaven forbid! If white people had a June FEDERAl holiday blacks would have rioted!! Why did blacks deserve their own federal holiday? Because if blacks don’t get what they want they riot! They cannot accept being told no. And white prople are giving in to every little cry they make! Why? Because blacks riot when they don’t get their way!
They get money for food, housing, medical , attorneys and free education! All they have to do is check the “ black” box on a college application and instantly they get in the college and they get in with no charge. College is free for black prople!
History channel changed since June, 2020, Any new show since then ie: “America’s book of secrets” is hosted by a black guy! Why? All your advertisements are mostly black! I counted. 8 out of 9 commercials were completely black people and the 10 th one had black and white people. Why?
You are prejudice! I rarely tune into history channel any more . I like America’s book of secrets but the new shows are the bkack host. As soon as I saw that I changed the channel. That is what is happening to history channel. Us devoted fans are turning it off. I will nit be forced to see blacks only!!
My message is Stop braking the rules, law etc! Then you won’t get mistreated because you won’t be in jail! Even MLK had a criminal record! Yet blacks hailed him? Why? In the 1960’s black parents sent their own children in front of a protest March. Who would do such a thing? Your own children!! That was crazy! And the authorities took hoses to ge rid of them . Of course! They were warmed it was illegal but the black parents sent their black children in the front !! Well it worked. The news of course criticized the authorities. The public were shocked to see hoses aimed at children. And what “ public” was that? Who felt sorry for the the children? WHITE public! The protesters were warned that action would be taken but parents put their children at risk anyway! If you brake the law you will pay the consequences !! Blacks always turn it into racist. It is not. It is the law . Societies need laws! Go back and read history. Greek history says it best about laws must be used to have a democratic society etc.
Put white actors, advertisements back on History channel or you will go out of business. White people support your channel . Black peoples watch shows ie, “ 90 day dance’” and “ MMA boxing”. They are not watching history. Unless it’s about slavery.
I know my ancestors were enslaved by the English. Romans enslaved Jews and Christians! Look at what hitler did to the Jews ! Murdeted 6 M of them and they broke no laws!!
Black people must learn more than their own slave history. They do not even know that Black Africans sold black Africans to slavery in their own countries !
I have learned enough black history!!! I am sick of it! Now I turn it off. It angers me. It’s similar to repeated advertisements or song playing over and over on the radio! Making the public forced to respect more black holidays to respect black anything does the opposite. Whites are becoming unwilling to listen to another black complaint. It’s the same old thing. “ I didn’t get a n school because I’m black or I didn’t get hired because I’m black etc. They have used that stupid story to it’s end. Blacks cannot want anything more because they have everything. I don’t. I had to fork for my education. Today I work so I can have medical insurance. My children had to work to pay for college. Not a thing was free. Blacks have everything possible in this country!
So change your shows commercials before you get out of business.
You were a great channel and I love it. Go back to those quality shows and stop filling your list set to prove you hire blacks. Hire quality people. Stop with all the slavery crap! We’ve heard it already! Try something new!!

Black indoctrination on oak island

Every show every commercial is black In NY they get jobs over everyone else. Queens County highest per capital income. Even if they are not qualified. They are responsible for 3/4 of crime in this country. Half the black population in America are foreigners. Yet they want jobs over whites who built the country. Everyone’s ancestors were slaves and treated badly. My family died in wars to protect this country. Mostly whites fought in wars for this country. Yet they hate the whites so much that the states are indoctrinating little white children, shaming them for a small bit of history called slavery. Trying to. Hangs our great history and twisting it into giving assignments in school glorifying black thugs.There was slavery all over the world and America had the least amount. Che k the statistics. I’m a fan of the show since the beginning. If I have to see another show about Samuel Ball or photo ops with the new token Michael I’m going to drop the history channel all together.

HISTORY CHANNEL

This used to be one of my favorite channels...years ago. It is now one of the worst stations on television! You would think that a channel called THE HISTORY CHANNEL would actually SHOW HISTORY! For years now you have showed nothing but crap. Every now and then you might show things like, Men who Built America or Food that Built America or something that tells about history. Who the HELL wants to watch American Pickers or Counting Cars or Pawn Stars all damn day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are about to BORE US TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get somebody in there that can redo this station. You just might see your ratings go up.

Ancient Aliens

Why is it you run episode after episode of AA, the unscientific babble from unqualified and uneducated con men who sell their belief system which is a billion dollar industry? But that is not my complaint. Why won't you run just one program criticizing all the unproven trash that clods like Giorgio Tsoukalos spews? I think you used to air "The Skeptical Eye". That was a GREAT show with logical scientific presenters and contributor. The garbage you air now makes me want to cancel my science package.

unlock ad block(American Pickers)

I do watch and enjoy American Pickers and I do have cable(which I would use to watch some of the episodes),,but now I can't unless I take my ad block off, which I won't do.
Even with cable I would have the choice on whether I wanted to watch ads or not.
I'm not sure why you felt it necessary to do so, but now I not only can't watch American Pickers, I won't watch any other shows on your network.
Taking the freedom to choose if and how I watch your programs, has caused me not to watch any at all !!!!!!.

Goddess Kali

In an episode the show Ancient Aliens called Goddess Kali, a Hindu God a demon and said she stole babies. Unfortunately this is far from the truth, and its the equivalent of saying that the Virgin Mary is a demon.

The story of Mother Kali is one where all the other Gods could not kill a demon called Maheshasur who had asked for a boon that he not be killed by man or God BUT he did not mention woman as he did not consider that a woman as being capable of slaying him.

So Goddess Kali was creation as an amalgam of the three Goddess Lakshmi, Parvati and Saraswati and she tried to cut off teh demon's head, but as the blood hit the ground, another head of the demon grew back. To prevent this she drank the blood and thus was able to slay Maheshasur.

To the western observer, the image of Kali, with skulls around her neck is terrible BUT she represents that look from your mother when you have done something wrong, and once you got 'that look' you resolved to NEVER do that wrong deed again.

She is considered more powerful that any other Gods and Goddesses in the Hindu pantheon and is NOT a demon.

As such "Ancient Aliens" episode that says this is offensive to me a Hindu.

I actually like the show and was upset that they had done so little research into Goddess Kali.

History channel volume always messed up

Why does the volume constantly go up and down. It is very annoying. History channel needs to fix the sound quality. Its not my t.v. doing it and other channels don't do this. It is hard to even watch the history channel with the volume going up very loud then all the way down were I can barely hear it. It does this really bad when watching Ancient Aliens. It seems how all the programs that have a narrator, the volume gets quiet when the narrator talks and loud when other people talk. I watch history channel on different t.v.'s and at other peoples house and it is the channels volume that is out of wack.

Advertising of program

Will you please stop or at the very least slow down advertising your outrageously violent "Vikings" program! We get it already. Why is it that it needs to be advertised every commercial break.

GIVE THOSE WHO DO NOT LIKE VIOLENT PROGRAMMING A BREAK !

cat killing and am restoration

I find it distasteful for programming to include cat killing. These losers need a snowmobile, a pack of dogs, and probably bait. They then let these dogs tree the animal and kill it. How small is it? Anyway, it’s legal to hunt mountain lion in montana. Glorifying it makes me switch the channel.

Onto my real complaint. Your programming allows for cat killing and follows fake fur traders, while you also took ricks restoration down. And tried replacing it. American restoration was cool, bring it back with Ricks Restoration and cast. Consider the removal of programming that includes harming of wolves, big cats, and anything else only being hunted for tv, not for any real reason. Your show also pitches misinformation on wolves. They hunt small animals like rabbits and mice, not humans.

Forged in Fire cutting simulated humans

I have a big problem with the show Forged in Fire, which shows "cutting simulated human bodies" with various blades they make.
I just saw a promo for a new episode called "Throat Cutting". This is sick and perverted and should not be shown on television,
where children can see it. The History Channel needs to remove this program from the air since it is as much about
promoting violence by showing cutting simulated bodies as it is about blade making. This has to stop.

I switch the channel as soon as I see a promo for it but the picture of a torso being cut in half or a throat cut is already
planted in my mind. Children are seeing this and as a parent, I want this show taken off the air NOW !!!

Those that agree with my complaints need to follow me in complaining to not only the History Channel but also to
the Federal Communications Commission and the White House !!!

Commercials

All though I have watched and enjoyed the mountainmen series, I've noticed that you are now filling the one hour program with at least 50% of commercials which is very annoying. Unless your decision changes don't expect my continued patronage.

" Reality Shows" History Channel

I firmly believe the shows you've been putting on the last few years is a Sacrilege to the People who love History. You were once my favorite channel and I thought and hoped this would pass, but now I see it won't. What the hell does Counting cars,Pawn Stars,Pickers,and Rednecks catching alligators in the swamp have to do with history. You're doing a great disservice with these "Reality Shows" Please ENOUGH ALREADY! for the love of God put History back on!

Sincerely,
Michael Pellas from Cleveland Ohio
