Remember not all that long ago when people fought to portray blacks in a better way on TV and in the movies? With more roles as professional people in respectable professions like Drs, lawyers, cops, teachers, firemen, etc. instead of the usual street thugs, druggies and vagrants?
The psychology is easy to understand. Those images, good or bad, those roles, good or bad, are important to how we learn about people we may not meet in our own personal day to day.
If you don't live or work around whomever, but the only time you see them is on TV as a thug or as an alcoholic, when you do meet whomever for the first time, you've already formed a first impression based upon what you already "know" from what you've always seen.
Now check the viewscreen, Ohura, and look at how things have changed and at the playbook now being used on this front.
First, "they" stir you up enough to get you to do something out of character while you're thinking you're doing something righteous.
Next, "they" get lots of images of all you do while being all stirred up.
These images of what you do when all stirred up then become "stereotypical black America" because "they" show these images over and over again until those images are the programmed into the viewers as their first and/or now lasting impression of black Americans.
So...people who've never met you, now know all about you, because they've watched "you" over and over again on TV.
And, when you realize all the action being filmed is in reaction to "their" politically induced problems, and how the images "they" get from stirring people up are then used against those "they" got stirred up in the first place, you see how it's done.
All too easy. Just settin' 'em up and knockin' 'em down. Wise up, people. You're better than this.
(It works in reverse, too. Notice how they quit showing video of the planes hitting the Towers? I wonder why?)
analysis dead right!!
Don't get me started on this one!The rest of the world, including Mexico, got to see many videos of the 911 victims jumping to their deaths to avoid incineration.
Americans did not.
Not that I and most people had any great desire to witness the results of the muslim massacre, but accepting that the nanny State made that decision for me and all of us, still rankles...
At certain moments of my life, on anniversaries, when the immediacy of things return, I would remind myself why I must maintain perpetual enmity towards the world's only culture of truly two legged vicious human animals.
That is more common than ever! I lost track of the number of black presidents, black scientists, black general, black owners of huge productive companies, black doctors, black researchers, portrayed in TV series and movies generally.
The proportional ratio of white to black vicious criminals in real life is exactly reversed in what passes for entertainment.
But it jars. Pulls the viewer right out of the story with the inevitable urge to laugh out loud, because the actors usually portraying special people, can barely understand the words they are expected to deliver.
I just have to laugh every time.
