THE DELIBERATE PORTRAYAL OF BLACKS IN A NEGATIVE MANNER


One of the most dangerous aspects of the propaganda machine is the constant portrayal of Black people as criminals, clowns, buffons and other unflattering characteristics by the media system. The local level to the national and international level is covered to the fullest extent with racist propaaganda nad subtle, yet racist anti-Black propaganda that influences not only the opinions of non-Black Americans but of foreigners before they set foot on American soil. These people, due to exposure to the racist propaganda about Blacks that theysee in movies, on tv and in music videos from the US, read in newspapers and hear on American radio builds in them a racist attitude.

To the detriment of these folks, they soon realize that Blacks are a powerful force in the United States, quite wealthy as a nation despite the horrible odds, quite learned, inventive, industrious and contributors to worldwide trends and culture. They find out that Blacks have very strong family traditions even after centuries of being deliberately made the victims of schemes to destroy the Black family structure, whether it was selling the children of slaves by the slave owner or welfare policies that deliberately chase men out of the homes to keep fathers from raising their children and lead to 'cannon fodder' for the neo-slavery system.

Many of these people who turn their noses up at Black folk realize sooner or later that there are many more criminals per capita in their own home countries, more homeless and more destitute people than all the Blacks the media portray negatively in their effort to fool the people and keep their minds off the issues that matter. To the shock of many of these people, they also realize that the Whites and those who control the media in the US, are just as racist towards them as they are towards Blacks.

The propaganda machine for many decades and particularly during the last decade has declared all out propaganda war against Blacks in the United States under the guise of 'the right to inform,' and 'free speech.' These examples above are one the most common types of propaganda spread about Black people and one of the most effective propaganda stories on criminal activity, drug abuse, people on welfare, unemployment and the social ills created by bad policies and the same people who constantly find faults about Black people are always done in areas where Blacks reside. The fact that there are more people who are not Black on welfare, more who commit criminal acts and more who fit in the stereotypes pushed on Blacks does not matter to the propagandists.

For example unless a community is 100 percent non-Black, stories on criminal activity always focuses on Blacks living in that particular community or on communities that are majority Black. It does not matter if a town of 50,000 has only 1,000 Blacks among the population. It does not matter if ninety percent of all crimes committed in the community is committed by people who are not Black. The focus is always on the Blacks living in that community whether they happen to be in the majority, it doesn't even matter if most of the people committing the crimes are Black or not.

Cop shows are typical examples of this racist trend that seems to have increased over the past fifteen years, fueled by AM talk radio propaganda and deliberate demonization of poor people. Shows that feed like parasitic worms of rotten meat have become popular over the years. The producers and writers of these shows know what they are doing and what they are doing is making sure they create scapegoats so no one will point the fingers at them and their own tricks and schemes that have a much greater effect on the population than all the 'crimes' and foodstamps or "baby mamma's who can't find the father," they throw around. What they are not telling the public is that they created the conditions that allowed fathers and husbands to be thrown out of the homes, the toleration for 'free sex,' and promiscuity and the disrespect for men and abortion of the unborn.

While the majority of shows about criminal activity and behevior focuses on Black folks, all that is usually shown about other people are family disputes, quarrels and minor infractions. Stories about mass destroyers, thieves of millions, and those who commit the most henious crimes are treated like heroes by the majority media. Movies are made of those who if they were Black would be constantly vilified and demonized.
