Black couple sues after they say home valuation rises nearly $300,000 when shown by White colleague

[invalid]

The type of hatred behind this is deeply entrenched, even before the first Englishman set foot in modern day America.

Too deeply entrenched to reverse, which is why the couple aren't trying to "change images" , but taking LEGAL action.
Whites felt and acted this way when The Cosby Show was #1 rated show and Bill Cosby was embraced as America's Dad and broadcasting positive Black family unit 24/7.

Fighting to adjust and expand the Black image in mainstream media makes sense for two reasons. To correct the facts for record, and for the benefit of Black children so that they don't feed into/accept/copy the limited caricatures that they see of people who look like them.

Thinking that it will have an effect on changing long held stereotypes and views from whites, is misguided. In my opinion.

I'm inclined to agree with the other poster but you make a good point.

Hate is a priori to propaganda.

You get rid of the propaganda or what fuels the propaganda and the hate is still there.

If we "hypothetically" got rid of various forms of our cultural expression that we deem detrimental, the cunningness of white supremacy will shift to demonizing some other aspect of our lives.

During slavery, the propaganda "boogyman" was a lettered slave. If a slave could read and properly understand the Bible, they could understand the deception and hypocrisy of a "Christian nation" espousing slavery. They could rally other slaves, and plan insurrections.

During Reconstruction, the boogyman was the black business and political leaders who were acquiring fortunes and political clout that would shift the balance of power.

During the years of the Great Migration, the boogyman was the southern migrant who would come up and take the jobs of the white ethnic immigrants.

During the Civil Rights era, the boogyman was the black person integrating into white spaces, causing fear that the value of neighborhoods and schools would decline.

Our history shows that white supremacy will just shift and regroup to some other aspect of our lives so it's a fools errand to try to police ourselves for that reason.

Policing ourselves for ourselves is another matter altogether.

Umar is right about at least one thing: black people don't understand PROPAGANDA. Zero idea on how social engineering works.

Why do people think they made up stories of black people being cursed in the Bible centuries ago?

Every system of oppression needs to perpetually demonize the oppressed.

SMH.

Thank you. That's all I was saying in this thread....and they got mad

Happened to a couple in Austin too. When it’s time to appraise my current house in a mostly white neighborhood I’m having some white friends stand in as well to avoid this situation all together. Sad, but it’s the world we live in.

Have cac friends brehs

Things like this is what happens when a groups entire image has been demonized and criminalized.

One of white supremacy's most important and effective tactics is the destruction of our image. The destruction of the mere IDEA of black people. They've done a magnificent job of this.

Those of you who say that rap music (with it's constant imagery of blacks portrayed as gangbangers, drugdealers thugs, etc) is "just entertainment" , doesn't understand that's it's being used to REINFORCE the stereotype that blacks are inherently criminal-minded and a threat to society.

Media propaganda has been a tool of white supremacy forever and things like this are the result.


Making society afraid of and looking down on blacks has always been one of their main objectives.

Your average good-hearted, law-abiding "square" black person can't even move about society and make moves without being linked with our worse stereotypes thats spread INTENTIONALLY via mainstream imagery.

The same stereotypes they think are cute on this forum Y’all can’t listen to drill music and use bad grammar/spelling talking bout’ stereotypes.

Coli goofies will just say you’re pushing “respectability politics” in their faces and if they want to listen to lyrics about shooting and robbing black people they will bump it down their streets.

What art forms linked us with criminality during the Atlantic Slave Trade?

They hated black people because of the media they consumed?

They hated black people because they thought we were primitive savages. And we were depicted as such in the media and artwork of that time

"Black people could be perfect in all ways for an entire century and people would still make the same jokes and assumptions against us. My proof of this is that white people still make cotton-picking jokes and slavery jokes despite the fact that none of them have ever seen a black person picking cotton in their entire life"

Need more people who are legitimate appraisers. I wonder how Indians handle their appraisals. They will have 3 comps, 3 different appraisers who are all Indian. Then complain to the state.

Interesting analysis. IMO There’s really two reasons why people are hated:

1) They are too successful
2) They are too poor

The safest bet is to act middle class. It’s familiar to most people
