Im an activist, lecturer, and author of the book the Black Matrix: the modern suppression of Black people.
The unprecedented profound feelings of internalize self hatred and self contemptuous attitudes presently among so many African Americans is not a natural occurrence resulting from a white dominant society upon the Black psyche. Nor is it even some unknown phenomenon void of a rational explanation. It is the result of a deliberately deplored modern method of suppression and control. A mass manipulative system used for maintaining the current statuesque. It has remained America’s best kept secret - until now. A secret held by the true ruling elites that actually runs the country. These groups of wealthy white individuals maintain their positions of power and prestige regardless of who is actually president.
The national media’s distorted portrayal of Black America that amplifies the negative to the point that it distorts reality is more than just biased media reports. They function as media manipulation psychosocial programs. It is a covert system of control that ensures the continuance of white dominance by ensuring that Blacks remain the most racially devalued and most economically exploited group in America.
The constant relentless bombardment with deplorably negative images of themselves that of which African Americans are so inundated with throughout the media is a very carefully and deliberately designed psychological conditioning program. It is a program designed to break down African Americans’ sense of Black racial heritage, allegiance and unity by subjecting them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves while implying that they admire, respect, and trust only Whites.
Its daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to corrupt African Americans’ sense of racial unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, and engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group. This media psychosocial treatment is deliberately designed to divide and manipulate Black people into accepting white dominance over their lives by convincing them that it is now they that are their own worst enemies. Blacks own negative interactions and experiences with their fellow Blacks merely act as confirmations to what is being implied.
This is all possible because the mass media form for us our image of the world and essentially everything we know—or think we know—about events outside our own neighborhood or circle of acquaintances comes to us via our daily newspaper, our weekly news magazine, our radio, or our television. By employing carefully developed psychological techniques, the mass media guide our thoughts and opinions. The way in which the news is covered: which point of views are emphasized and which are played down; the phrasing of headlines; the choice of words, pictures, and illustrations—all of these things subliminally and yet profoundly affect the way in which we interpret what we see or hear. The media tell us which side of an issue that we should favor, forms our images of various groups of people. Even our images of ourselves is greatly influenced by what media shows us about our own group. Given these factor the media has been used for decades by government elites to manipulate public opinion and to socially engineer society towards governmental objectives.
Therefore it was logical that the U.S. government elites would use this same well proven method of control against its (greatest organizers, protestors, and fighters of institutionalized white racism) Black population as a means of maintaining its white dominance and control. This media deplored psychosocial program manipulates the minds of the Black masses to admire and love whites while blaming and hating themselves.
Through its suppression of certain news stories that are contrary of the myth of white supremacy and its blatant propagandizing of distorting TV documentaries that deploringly characterizes its Black population, the white controlled media have taken the lead in persuading a whole generation that Black people are the most physically abusive, the most users of drugs, the laziest, the worst parents, the worst children, the lesser intelligent, and have contributed nothing at all to the benefit of society.
This media psychosocial program perpetuates a depiction of Black people that expresses a profoundly distorted view that elevates what is wrong with Black America above all that we know is right with Black America. Its portrayal of Black America is one that ignores all facts that conflict with the racist conceptions of the white elites and sees the endemic problems of Black America as rooted primarily with Blacks themselves, instead of emanating from white racism. This program revises the past to conveniently make whites appear less inhumane through out America’s brutal racist history; and despite a brutal history to the contrary-- fraudulently depicts whites as being the standard of ethics and morale values while portraying Blacks as being all that’s wrong with America. It also facilitates a national consensual environment of where in which Blacks cries for equality are lesser heard and their mistreatment appears more justified.
And although this media psychosocial program is less blatant than those earlier racist systems used in the past against Blacks, its affects are very real and detrimentally. In fact this method is by far the most proficient system ever deployed against America’s black population.
To the detriment of Blacks, this system of applied psychological conditioning has been an extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to not only accept, but in some cases to prefer the dominance of Whites and white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies. These thoughts when injected into the Black psyche engender an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility.
Molding Black Minds
For the average Black person, like most Americans of whose daily life TV-watching takes such an unhealthy portion, distinguishing between these fictional reports and reality can be very difficulty, if done at all. Many responds to the televised reports and attitudes of TV anchors much as they do to their own peers in real life. For all too many African Americans the real world has been replaced by the false reality of the TV environment, and it is to this false reality that their views of themselves and their community negatively conformed. It also conforms many African Americans youths to ridiculous caricatures. Because some of what it shows to us -through the entertainment media- is made to look cool. It also causes many Blacks to function as amnesiacs – forgetting the history of white barbarity while simultaneously developing profound admiration for whiteness. The insidious thing about this form of thought control is that even when we realize that the news is biased, the media masters still are able to manipulate most of us. This is because they not only slant what they present, but also they establish tacit boundaries and ground rules for the permissible spectrum of opinion.
While there are differences in degree, however, most Blacks fail to realize that they are being manipulated and instead falls victims to the misinformation about themselves. Many African Americans literally develop a self contemptuous “anti Black” frame of thought that collectively attributes to Black disunity at a time when we need unity; it distracts us from solving real problems; increases self loathing at a time when we need to come together to face the complicity in our condition. It prevents the African-American community from forging the alliances within it needed to bring about real change.
Even the socially conscious Black person who complains about "racially biased news" falls into the trap of thinking that because he is presented with an apparent spectrum of opinion he can escape the thought controllers' influence by believing the editor or commentator of his choice. It's a "heads I win, tails you lose" situation. Every point on the permissible spectrum of public opinion is acceptable to the media masters—and no impermissible fact or viewpoint is allowed any exposure at all, if they can prevent it.
And although this media psychosocial program is less blatant than those earlier racist systems used in the past against Blacks, its affects are very real and detrimentally. In fact this method is by far the most proficient system ever deployed against America’s black population.
This Black mortifying psychosocial program is deplored with both subtlety and thoroughness in its management of the news that is presented to its Black population. Furthermore, it is not distant and impersonal; it reaches into the homes of every African American, working its will during nearly every waking hour. It is the power that shapes and molds the mind and perceptions of virtually every Black citizen, young or old, rich or poor, simple or sophisticated, unknown or famous. For some of its Black victims it can be so detrimental to their psyche that it may even cause them to feel that there is something not quite right about their Black humanity.
All African Americans have experienced the burden of this psychological warfare, some more severely than others have. It is experienced every time we [Blacks] read a newspaper, watch the evening news, enter a classroom, and read its racially biased textbooks. And while many Black Americans have successfully navigated through the psychology mortifying mine field and have gone on to lead successful, productive lives, but for far too many African Americans this immense devaluation can seem inescapable and tragically, over time, many begin to accept subconsciously and painfully the negative portrayals of themselves. Many also become discouraged by the acceptance that their society is also preconditioned to see the worst in them and that, therefore, if they were ever to gain acceptance, if it is to be won at all, that success would be hard won and likely to manifest negative internalized psychological pain and distress within many African Americans that can take many forms.
To the detriment of Blacks, this system of applied psychological conditioning has been an extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to not only accept, but in some cases to prefer the dominance of Whites and white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies. For some of its Black victims it can be so detrimental to their psyche that it may even cause them to feel that there is something not quite right about their Black humanity.
There is no greater power in the world today than that wielded by the manipulators of public opinion in America. No king or pope of old, no conquering general or high priest ever disposed of a power even remotely approaching that of the few dozen men who control America’s mass media of news and entertainment. It is they that control black self perceptions, thus affecting Black unity and pride, and that determines the images of how Black Americans are portrayed before the entire world
Although we African Americans are not monolithic-- our views are formed of very different, religious beliefs, opinions, education, social and economic back grounds and opinions—nonetheless it is our inescapable responsibility as Black people to break that control.
It is imperative that we do so because this control is detrimental to who we truly are as a people; and If we’re to be apart of the future it must me relinquished. We must shrink from nothing in combating this evil power that has fastened its deadly grip on our people and is injecting its lethal poison into our people's minds and souls. If our race fails to destroy it, it certainly will destroy our race.
Our Responsibility
Those are the facts of media control in America and we must not remain silent on this most important of issues. The white elite’s control of the American mass media is the single most important fact of life, not just in America , but in the whole world today. There is nothing more dangerous to the future of our people.
By permitting the white elites to continue their total control of our news and entertainment media we are doing more than merely giving them a decisive influence on our communities; we also are giving them virtual control of the minds and souls of our children, whose attitudes and ideas are shaped more by white controlled television and films than by parents, schools, or any other influence.
We Black people must continue the long march of our parents. A march for a more just, and equal society. However we cannot solve the challenges of our time while being divided and self hating. We must oppose the further spreading of this poison among our people, and we must break the power of those who are spreading it. It would be intolerable for such power to be in the hands of the greedy capitalist white elites with values and interests different from our own. But to permit the white elites, with their 400-year history of brutal racist oppression, from slavery to the reconstruction period, to hold such power over us is tantamount to race suicide. Indeed, the fact that so many African Americans today are so filled with a sense of racial self-hatred is a deliberate consequence of the white controlled media.
Once we Black people have absorbed and understood the fact of the white controlled media, it is our inescapable responsibility to do whatever is necessary to break that control. We must shrink from nothing in combating this evil power that has fastened its deadly grip on our people and is injecting its lethal poison into our people's minds and souls. If our race fails to destroy it, it certainly will destroy our race.

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We must forgive but not forget. When we forget we lose the rich lessons of history that then will repeat themselves over and over again.

Yea you could be right, or it could just be that blacks have racial self-hatred for their own Personal Reasons.

You are partially correct. But once again, activists ignore the problems occuring in our own culture, while at the same time blaming "Whitey" for everything wrong with the Black Community.
Has it ever occured to you that a lot of black people know many other black people that behave exactly the way that we are portrayed in the mass media? Are you aware that there are many black writers that perpetuate these same stereotypes (watch the movie "Baby Boy" starring Tyrese Gibson. It's simply disgusting.) We have a culture that often times glorifies the same behavior that you demonize the media for portraying. So, while you are right on many fronts, you are simply misguided on many, many others. |

I think the author of this blog is totally unconscious. The question SHOULD be, "Why do human beings harbor so much self destructive and universal destruction of all life forms?" Clearly this hatred is not limited to one ethnic group. It is so easy for one racial group (whites) to point the finger at other (non-whites) and charge them with the very same things that possess. Amazing how the author didn't mention the profile of the rapist or the mass murderers who are typically white men.

African Americans people are the only race of people that refuse to stick together. We are the most oppressed and economically exploited people in the world due to our self-hatred and our refusal to stick-up and stick together as one. We must stop spending our money in an enemy system that openly hate us and patronize our own businesses and create our own jobs. We must and will build our own independant society like everybody else. We must unite as a race or forever suffer. Message from freddy2bme@hotmail.com

my two cents - media only has to report the truth to achieve exact same result. IQ - Africans 70, US Blacks 85, Whites 100 is the real source of US black social, economic and political destruction. Since IQ is not teachable Black Americas future is written in stone - colonization. (No tme in history of man has lower IQ race ever colonized higher IQ race). Just the honest truth. Peace.
