Very Important Thread: BLACKS MUST GAIN CONTROL OF OUR OWN IMAGE!!!!!!!!!

[Y2Dre]

Cac Jews control the image of Black males in the media, and they're way more organized and powerful.

Agree with OP, but the Jews have too much influence right now it's an uphill battle.

you have to repair the culture first breh.....

I honestly think changing the images of what we see of ourselves is the first step to changing the culture.

Constantly seeing ourselves in a negative and inferior light affects our collective self-esteem and what we think we can achieve.

Us gaining more control over our own image is a HUGE necessity

 

[PhonZhi]

I think this mainly applies to black males. We need to take control of how we see ourselves first as a group. Then mobilize.

Right. Men are the leaders. Everything else will follow.

I'll never forget my boy's Korean GF saying her grandma, who had never actually met a black person, was afraid of black people because of the images that get pumped into South Korea via syndicated US shows.

We give the shyt a pass at our own peril.

Wow.

"Media propaganda" is one of the most effective weapons currently being used against the black race:

If You Are Black Its Imperative That You Are Aware Of What "Media Propaganda" Is

Why do black people think rocking european suits will make you respectable?



Ya ancestors aint wear no damn suits

What do you think about black people controlling their own image?

Do you or do you NOT think that's important.

This is the age of information in America. Your point might have some merit in locations where ppl have restricted control over media they consume, but Americans have more access to books, Internet service, smart phones, etc. Anybody who wants to see a varied image of black ppl can certainly do so. Anyone too lazy to do a simple Google search of black lawyers or black doctors, etc. Isn't truly interested in challenging their beliefs

Why would anybody not black just wake up randomly and say "hey, I wanna see a varied image of blacks"

That would take awareness in the first place and a concerted effort. Not happening. What's pushed in the mainstream media (t.v, radio) is always gonna have the biggest effect on the subconscious minds of the masses. That's why it's so effective in the first place. People think the images they are seeing is strictly "entertainment", when in reality there is a concerted effort to demonize/criminalize the black image via this so called "entertainment".

Where did you get these fruits?

 

[Black Sinatra]

To the people that say "we can't change how we are presented, thus can't fix it."
Yes you can. This thread is a conversation on an internet site that is open to be viewed by a theoretical millions of people. My point is that, the consensus so far in the thread is all in agreement. This can be replicated on blogs, social media...given a larger/more open platform to demonstrate and cultivate the voices of dissention. It's not right nor is it how we wish to be represented. Regardless of the fact that you will see nikkas dressed like that at the corner store. These images are not us, it's part of us... but NOT us.

Then you are going to get the folks that say "I shouldn't have to change my culture to be represented fairly/wholesomely." There is truth in that, but it's far sighted, the entertainment of debauchery has its place....it just needs to take a back seat for the foreseeable future.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

To a certain extent we already do. Entertainers aren't being forced to get tatted up and smoke blunts in pics. Theyre making the choice to do so

I control pretty much everything I consume these days, as far as entertainment

If they wanted to challenge their beliefs they would , if they were content in believing all black people are whatever negative stereotype they wouldn't. You could show a bunch of racists the most positive representation of black people and in their minds black ppl would still be reduced to that negative stereotype

 

[JDH]

This is only attainable through economic empowerment

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

A positive image/representation doesn't mean shyt if people are still facing unequal treatment and are still not having access to quality resources.

Eff an image. The issue blacks face is not owning their lives/land/resources thus they have to care what other people think. If blacks owned and controlled infrastructure we could wear bathrobes and du rags all day and nobody could or would say anything.
