This Marcus Garvey quote...

[GetInTheTruck]

“Things that may not be true can be made if you repeat them long and often enough, therefore, always repeat statements that will give your race a status and an advantage. That is how the White man has built up his system of superiority. He is always telling you he is superior and he has written history and literature to prove it. You must do the same.”

– Marcus Garvey

I see nothing wrong with the quote in fact I agree. However with this quote you have to accept that the reverse is true too though, which I think a lot of Black folks are not ready to do unfortunately, especially when it comes to entertainment that we consume.

This must be why Nas stans try so hard

Theres some truth to it. Its like brute force advertising. People are porous to cultural pressure, its how propaganda works. Now whether you should blatantly spend time screaming from the mountaintops that your race are the chosen ones, idk. I do think its important to put positive images of people in the media, and I'll leave it at that.

 

[George's Dilemma]

Reminds me of a Hitler quote, "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."

over half a century later and he still right...there are people in this day that truly believe there is a racial hierarchy with white people at the top and black people at the bottom and the reason why they believe it is because white people told them to [programming..conditioning..indoctrination..and so called education]...

You are the reason I made this thread I was waiting for you to show up, Lol.

Anyway I can see the effectiveness of this strategy initially but when all's said and done I think truth and accuracy should trump everything.
