Just Google "psychological warfare" and also "media propaganda". They go hand in hand basicly:
They have successfully manipulated the definition and image of "blackness" and what it means to be black not only to the rest of the world, but to ourselves also.
Lots of black people are feeding into the black image that's propped up the most in the mainstream. That image is mainly violent, irresponsible and reckless.
Instead of young black kids viewing education and intelligence as the keys to success they're being fed the lie that criminal and destructive activities are the keys.
This is happening because we don't control our own image.
Look at whose propping most of these rappers up:
They purposely take individuals like Chief Keef for example and turn him into an influential figure by playing his music on the radio and putting him on tv. Chief need now has influence over the masses and is also a representation of "blackness". He raps about inflicting violence on other black people and doing drugs which becomes "cool" in the eyes of impressionable minds.
Its all apart of "psychological warfare" to keep the black mind from recognizing the system and rebelling against it. Keep the black mind thinking destructive and unproductive activities are "cool" then they won't ever have to worry about us rising and rebelling against the system.
