Check out the 1:13 mark. Peep how the 3 goofballs on the left react to the clip of two black women fighting.They have no idea that this is the image that our enemy WANTS in the mainstream. Media propaganda is the MOST EFFECTIVE tool being used right now against us. It is keeping stereotypes alive. Its continuing the self-hate mentallity thats already amongst our community also. Most visual and audio representing blacks are NOT in a positive light. It is NOT "just entertainment". Most of us are unaware of what media propaganda is. Hence the 3 cheerleaders on the left. Its kind of frustrating being "aware" of things like this as a black man because everyone else is so blind and lost. It was kind of hard watching this clip. Im sure Dr. Watkins felt like an alien being the only one conscious of whats REALLY going on










Does TV's Empire poorly portray African Americans CNN Video:

The average excuse for justifying propaganda is "its just entertainment". The majority of our people are in a zombie like state captivated by "entertainment" . Its quite shameful. Even the Jews during Nazi Germany were consciously aware of their own exploitation.
Our people are in a more vulnerable state than ever. We are losing sight of understanding the role that media plays in propagating stereotypes and false narratives

It seems like for too many "conscious" people, they think being pro-black means how insufferably whiny, illogical, and annoying they can be on a given topic about black people.

Yeah, 'cause when it comes to the overall American culture, sex and violence and overall hedonism arent the main themes and driving force that the public gravitates to when it comes to television. Shows like Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Weeds, Dynasty, etc just feature other races acting perfectly normal, doing their taxes, doing their homework, and peacefully and productively practicing GROUP ECONOMICS~~~!

It seems like being black bothers a lot of y'all, so you love to cry about how other black people are always making you "look bad".

Naw breh. I could care less about how we look to whites(if thats what you're saying) . They call Obama a n1gger. My main issue is how shows like this and poisonous, negative rap makes us feel about OURSELVES. Kids were enrolling into HBCU's BECAUSE of A Different World. That show was PURPOSELY taken off the air because it influenced us positively and promoted a high self esteem. Are u denying that media propaganda is a tool that has been used in the past to control a people









Why "A Different World" never came back to television: The brainwashing ...:

I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you here... Whilst what you are saying is true you have to understand the the impact of the American culture is different for different races... Violence and drugs portrayed in the media doesn't stereotype and marginalize individual white people... There is a message that is attached with white media that says a) this is pure fiction or b) this is an individual problem not a group trait

When you see a white person walking down the street do you automatically think druggie? Even though they are the number one abusers Of prescribed medication?

The american news had that McDonald's fight where black girls were fighting all over the media and they are trying to send the girls to jail, when no one got hurt and the so called "victim" initiated the fight, and did not want to charge them. Those girls should be in school, but now they are in court or jail.
They put there young faces and full names all over the internet and news when all of them are under 16.
They did not even post the full names and faces of the white girls who stabbed their friend to death but they willing put the girls name all over the media.

And black people ate that fight up as well calling the girls animals, saying black people can't raise their children. White people shared the video with everyone calling people in it savages. The video was complete propaganda. Pure propaganda, most kids in brooklyn do get into fights, like other children across america, but they are also going to school and trying to better their lives.
