Television: Is it really good for the black mind?

[Unknown Poster]

i'm not disagreeing with you but how do you know the images of blacks on tv today if you havent watched in 8 years

I can see it at the barber shop when I get my haircut or when I'm at a family or friend's house, very little has changed.

Nope. Television is a means of controlling the populations mindset and spreading white propaganda.

Most television shows, and news station are used to put everyone that isn't white down

It helps to wonder...where does this type of thinking originate?

I'm not trying to get into issues of petty semantics here and derail my own thread. That's counterproductive and I refuse to feed into anything of the sort. All I know is that too much focus on a television screen and/or too much focus on a computer screen is equally unhealthy. The only difference between the two is you can't control what's on television unless you change the channel or turn it off.

something that dr welsing says often is "each morning when you turn on your television you are getting your first dose of racism white supremacy". this has stuck with me since and i actually got rid of my cable.

imagine if black families turned off cable en masse and used that money toward an investment club of sorts...

Wow, interesting video. Really sad how everyone glorified the white skin color/doll. Really shows the white kids inherent racism as they already believe in their superiority.

Even little things like always having the evil character in a cartoon whatever wear black and have the good guy wear white, adds to the belief that white is good.

I have just realized there are just a limited number of roles for blacks on TV. And that's never dominant, always passive.

-The criminal, hypersexual, black male
-The black athlete (probably the most dominant presentation)
-The asexual black friend (*the media still afraid of the black man's sexuality and aim to control it)
-The flamboyantly gay black man who's there for comedic relief
-The black nerd that is shunned and doesn't get women
-The ratchet and loud black woman

And if there are any roles that are not passive, it's because they are subservient to the leads and never leading.

I can't think of any other roles honestly.

yup. this is why empire was pushed so heavily. it contains the major stereotypes that America loves to see for black people.
i've come to the conclusion that shows like first 48 (in addition to rap ) is actually a form of propaganda, used to criminalize black men and women and help justify knocking our heads off in cold blood. Racism has been refined.
It's also very apparent when you watch the news. the racial bias is sickening once you're aware of it.

Imo "media propaganda" is currently one of the most effective tools of systemic oppression today. Its effective mainly because its under the disguise of "entertainment" and is targeted for the most part at the young and impressionable mind. Remember: the most effective way to cripple a community is to poison the minds of its youth. David Banner spoke on this recently:

This conversation really needs to be had,
I'm sorry. I said in a thread about television that if I had kids I would never allow them to watch it and I pretty much was lambasted for it.

I remember watching TV back in the day and wanting to be white.

It was only when my parents taught me about black and african history that I appreciated my blackness.

For white people TV is a tool of brainwashing, indocrination, and moreso empowerment. They can see images of themselves doing damn near anything and it makes them think they can do anything therefore they are free to do whatever without thinking about it. Black people's images on TV are limited. Therefore it creates the idea that what black people can do in the real world is limited. Limit the mind, limit the body.

how am i derailing your thread when I'm asking you about the images you see on TV, which you said were all negative. I'm trying to figure out what images you see.
Or are you just making threads to get some simpleton daps from the fake militants?
I rest my case
