The Persil advert I remember and I think it had Eddie Nestor as the Dad! Boy times have changed!

Pesonally I think a Psychological study(in my view something aint right!) should be carried out on the whole celebrity (white)thing, however,who will conduct such a study and would we accept the results?

I am sure these questions are debated in certain academic circles, but they are too controversial for the general public.

Imagine the conclusion that there was a mental dysfunction among Black people who do this thing - Lord have mercy!

niceone.gifGood topic.

Swept into the minds of our kids through the idiot box, sublims, degredation and fear. Funnily enough its actually taught in Media studies. You can spot it everyday.

The advert for schools in england is one, Angry black youth banging the drums like some adage old colonial fear this time trying to get into the minds of teachers.

The couple in Footballers Wives. Now the blackwoman- white girl! They're gonnahave an Egyptian wedding though, gotta rate them for that.

Desperate housewives; Black family with the big bad menace in the basement. Note that the family is light skinned black and the mad one is darkskinned. I think hes already killed an unborn white baby.

There are no black couples representing in the UK at all. Its pathetic and its done deliberatly to suppress the idea ofblack couples being successful together. I was shocked when I saw the Footballers wives clip when Richard and Judy were interveiwing the black couple! It was weird man!

Its the same as having to wonder what part a black man/woman is going to play in a film, the old, ''black man dies first'' type thing or he somehow messes up everything for his white friends a la Italian Job. America is bad also but in a diffrent way, funny how no one notices the lights used in hip hop videos, they make the artists look as pale as possible. There are family shows which is cool but theres still a hint of light and dark going on that needs correcting.

Check the cartoons as well. My favorite Samuri Jack (sp) let me down big time, he fights AKHU, some evil shadow thing that controls the time passage or some crap... I was reading (as I do instead of watching tv most of the time) a book on Egyptology only to find that AKHU is what they'd call the spirit ofour ancestors. Somy once favorite cartoon character is actually fighting the spirit of the ancestors rather than a crummy name made up by some spotty geek.

The Bill had a funny hiccup the other day when a garage rave fell apart. The police were involved allowing people to leave or something, I missed that bit, but the organiser of the event,turned around during a news confrence and said,

''they didn't let us out the building! Its their fault! *pointing at the police* ITs Insitutional racism I tell you!''

lol. In front of the media as though they're ever intrested, even Ian Blair (note the name, is it that deep!?) has had talks about racism in the media only to be dragged down by the Stephan Lawrence people!?

The newspapers also have their fun with page relations, timing of events the b.ham riots being one major example, the killing of a young black/mixed girllast year. Terrible story that I won't repeat but it should have beenfront page newsbut it would have pooled us black folk together so, nope, asian man got tied to the back of a car in London an dragged through the streets, nocoverage of that one. Put a page about something terrible on the left and an article about some random black person on the right...Its made melook at white people in a diffrent way, you can't hate a people that have fallen to a -delusion of grandure-plz check it out.. they are given a mindset of superiority, fed rubbish and lead along by people who don't have even their intrests at heart. Lead into an ignorance, prehaps even an illusionary veiw point of worldly matters.

''oh an African leader died in a plane crash and now they're up in arms about it''

Reality - Someone shot down the mans helicopter (i think it was) and the finger is pointing in a certain directon so we have to distort the story back home so they don't wonder whats going on abroad.

In reference to 'more of race doing', I'd rathersee something a little more functional like astronauts, physicists, engineers, philosophers, etc.

^^THIS^^

Is what it creates, or comments of the like. Too oftenI hear kids saying the same thing....

[align=center]WE ARE EVERYWHERE![/align]
[align=left]And have been for hundreds of years, if not, thousands. We helped make parts of those first space ships, we invented the traffic light system, the blood transfusion system and so many more inventions that aren't to do with music and sports but its not taught in schools or given any credential what so ever, so we are blind as to our achivements and capabilities as a nation. [/align]
[align=left]A good question to ask would be; What are they afraid of? [/align]
[align=left]If a man is truly strong and has true power he dosen't need to flaunt it, he dosen't need to push people around to prove it. He IS strong and his daily actions would be enough to prove it. A man that needs to hold streangth, to bully and push around others that he calls, 'weak' is NOT strong as he needs to prove his streangth to himself and others. [/align]
[align=center]-A rule by force is no rule at all - andis subject to fall - at any given moment at all-[/align]
[align=left]The powerful medium of entertainment has a negative impact on the viewers. They look to it as a source of factual information, or (in the event they actually realize there's not a whole lot of depth) are bombarded with unappealing images/ideas they are 'forced' to watch. Somewhere therin lies the little hypnopaedic phrases "buy..conform..reproduce..work..obey". All of a sudden, a frightening demographic emerges of interracial couples, single parent families, higherdivorce rates....all in the black community.The little illuminati panel controlling the media feed cackle as the master plan succeeds.

Sorry to use your quote as an example of a brainwashed nation...[/align]
[align=left]What he is saying here is right, kinda, the 'teller-of-visions' is something to keep away from, standard. It poses as a mirror to people who then go off and spend a whole day wittering about what was on last night rather than sit with their families and tell stories or listen to grandad talk about his past and excersise the mind to visualize these things rather than fall to some projectedproton field. The TV/media in general weilds the nation together in a common, [/align]
[align=left]''I watch this and base myself off of this person'' [/align]
[align=left]type psycology that makes me sick, (I had a few bad experiences with the TV as a kid) its a blatant form of control in your home talking to your kids who'll scream at you if they can't watch it because then they'll have nothing to witter about to their friends at school and get called names. Big bad horror stories on the news all day, fear - fear - fear... turn it off worldwide and it'll shatter that (?perception?) of a collective consiousness and people wil go back into being naturally diffrent from one another if theres a gap more than 10miles inbetween them and the community down the road... the beginnings of a new world order that won't work as a celebrated diffrence keeps us together. Blah blah blah. And no its not just us black folk who suffer, as mentioned it has its effect on how other races see us and the same is done to them as well, muslem, Irish, Mexican, even the italians get stick..[/align]
[align=left]Gimmie a break. All the media wants to do is get paid. OK- so maybe they have nerds thinking they know how to appeal to the demographics, andwriting the scripts. Doesn't mean thathead executiveHakeem couldn't come in and set them strait. If you have a vision, then go with it.
[/align]
[align=left]LOL. [/align]
[align=left]Yesthecompanies are subject tochange if the people unite and write in everytime they're pissed off at something. UKTV History were showing this series called, ''400 years of black pharoes'' complete bollocks about how there was a small period in history when black people ruled. A friend of mine wrote in to complain, she was clever enough to use their language saying, [/align]
[align=left]''its not as thoughwe black peopledon't know that egypt was an African nation, we sit and laugh at your programs. There are more pyramids in Sudan than in Egypt and more history to Africa than Europe yet you show nothing of it''[/align]
[align=left]Ok, oppression of sorts says that the're not gonna make a program about Ancient Africa, theres too much of it hidden inthe west already and the stories would blow the lid off of quite a few things -Dogon tribe speaking offish men!? It kind of looks Sumerian!Black Jews what!? Drawing the fish symbol of jesus for how long! Olmecs who!!! I thought we invented chess! Grrr! Arrrgh! - but it kicked them up the ass enough for them to change the name to ''the black pharoes''... still crap but it would be better if people wrote in en mass to make noise about misrepresentation... Just like the boycotts of the civil rights movements they'd have to change or it'd be a direct oppression, something they'd rather avoid after trying so pretensely hard to make racial matters taboo and hide it up topso it can dribble down un rather than sit in our faces. [/align]
[align=left]I'm waffling... hope I made sence, I'm not supporting the guy I quoted, I don't like the whole bit about using a dictionary to read whats being said. Sounds like the arrogant type to be honest. [/align]
