Post Exposing the Modern Racist Paradigm Reply with quote


In order to effectively address the racist paradigm today, it will have to be divided into 6 parts; this is necessary so as to give the readers a cohesive picture which enables them to connect the dots:

1.) European Imperialism
2.) The White Media (really the Zionist White Media)
3.) Internalized Racism
4.) White Denial Mentality
5.) The Color Labels Must Go (added on March 30, 2007)
6.) Schematic of the Racist Social Hierarchy (added on March 31, 2007)

European Imperialism

In order to understand and expose the underlying global social hierarchy today, it's imperative for researchers to trace back its historical roots. Obviously this is an overwhelmingly daunting task to say the least, for the problem of racism is almost as old as Humanity itself. Therefore, we must at least try to trace it back to a more immediate past in order to comprehend the racist quagmire encompassing the world today. Now we can attest to the fact that Historical Global European Imperialism / Expansionism / Colonialism has had the most impact on reshaping the world in the last several centuries. Clearly, it has had the most influence, by far, in the world of politics, economics, education, commercialism, you name it. Furthermore without European Imperialism, "America" as you currently know it would not exist. In addition to that, had it not been for European Imperialism, White institutional control would not be so globally pervasive. Below are some research sources pertaining to Global European Imperialism:

European Imperialism is responsible for shifting the balance of power between the cultures - a global shift which gave most power and clout to the White race. This explains why Whites (particularly White men) dominate / control most authoritative power positions in the world today. This control is also highly prevalent in the corporate media.

Post The White Media Reply with quote
The White Media

Whoever controls the big media wields the most influence on society, especially on the youths of society. Of course, it is no surprise that, because of European Imperialism, the media today is under the control of mostly Whites (particularly White men). Please read the research in this link White Authority in the Media. In that link it states the following:

    Most of the decision-makers in North American news and entertainment media are white. Media ownership is mainly concentrated in the hands of white males; white journalists dominate the mainstream media; and white people hold most creative positions in the entertainment media as actors, writers and directors. All these factors contribute to the prevalence of whiteness in media, and help to reinforce white privilege as the norm.

    Most mainstream media content also reinforces white privilege by featuring white characters and addressing white interests and experiences. When programming does feature non-white characters, they usually appear in supporting roles.


Obviously this consolidation of media power into the hands of one group will naturally tend to represent itself more (and more positively for that matter) than other groups which it cannot naturally relate or identify with. This is why it is so critical to address and expose this centralization of power. Failure to dissolve this centralization of power will only contribute to the ongoing process of mass indoctrination which involves more and more people subconsciously seeing the world and themselves according to what the media owners want them to. When the masses are constantly fed the same themes in the media, they will begin to internalize those things subconsciously. This is how the Subconscious Mind operates; as the link states:

"The subconscious works simply by expecting that which is most common."

This link reports on a study which finds that the brain is impacted by subliminal images even when the person is unaware of having seen those images:



Experts in the field of propaganda and Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) know that the fundamental means to indoctrinate / brainwash is through the use of repetition and subliminal imagery. They know that the subconscious mind always gravitates around the law of repetition and subliminal messages.

Keeping the above points in mind, the readers should at least, at this point, be aware of how the mind can easily be manipulated by said propaganda tactics. Being able to recognize the process behind mass brainwashing is essential to being immune to it. Unfortunately, most people in today's society are not consciously aware of the pervasive patterns so well hidden in plain view in the media. If people were more keen and circumspect in their observation skills, they will undoubtedly come across a widely pervasive subliminal pattern of Whiteness in the media. Below are some of the many subliminal patterns of Whiteness prevalent in the mass media:

The constant propagation of White Male Sexuality:



Repetitive themes depicting Asian Female Submissiveness to White Men:

http://www.asianmediawatch.net/lax/index.html ("China Doll", the exotic and submissive Filipino Woman | screen captures below)



This link Mahdzan.com states the following:

    "These stereotypes of Asians in the American media have been socially constructed by the powerful institution we call Hollywood. Hollywood movies have long been promoting white dominance in its films. It upholds the belief that being white and male and heterosexual is state of being privileged, though many White heterosexual men would not realize this until it is pointed out.

    For example, a white man is able to have a sexual relationship with an Asian woman, but an Asian man cannot be seen having an intimate relationship with a white woman. White guys always win the battle against the Asians. White men are always portrayed stronger and more intelligent than Asian men are....

    We then asked ourselves, what are the purposes of these negative stereotypes of Asians in popular media in general and how do they reflect the social hierarchy that we are accustomed with here in the United States?"


Asian American Studies professor Darrell Hamamoto (University of California at Davis) solidifies the above point even further by his evaluation on the American Adult Industry http://dir.salon.com/story/sex/feature/2003/10/10/asian/index.html. The source states the following:

    "Asian porn is a popular genre and female stars such as Asia Carrera, Annabel Chong and Mimi Miyagi are household names to adult video fans. But straight porn is short on Asian-American males and Hamamoto wants to do something about it. For Hamamoto, an Asian-American studies professor at the University of California at Davis, the project is his statement about Asian-American sexuality, and if all goes as he plans, the start of an Asian-American media company.

    Hamamoto wants to start a discussion about Asian-American sexuality, which he says has been damaged by years of colonialism and racism that has turned Asian women into a sexual fetish and Asian men into eunuchs. Asian-Americans have internalized these attitudes, Hamamoto says, causing a rift between the genders and perpetuating the stereotypes."


Asian women are usually portrayed in the media with 2 most common stereotypes: the "China Doll" stereotype and the "Dragon Lady" stereotype. Below are sources which describe both:

1.) China Doll Stereotype - http://mahdzan.com/fairy/papers/asian/asian08.htm

    The Asian woman is supposedly sexually active, exotic, overly feminine and eager to please. This character is termed "China Doll," and appears countless times in popular movies. Examples include Return to Paradise. The movie sets itself in Malaysia where three white male Americans spend their time laying on the beach, sniffing cheap cocaine and sleeping with the local girls. Even though the Asian female actors in this movie were not Asian American and only appeared for a few minutes in the beginning portion of the movie, nevertheless it still conveyed the message that Asian women take pride in sexually serving white men because the men are white and rich. When Asians are constantly depicted as one way in movies, it predominantly effects the way people see Asian Americans.

    What Hollywood may have failed to portray about these Asian women is that these Asian women are prostitutes merely trying to support their families by offering sexual services to men whom they see rich. Because they come from poor families and lack education, some Asian women earn their living by these means, and preferring to sleep with a man due to his skin color has nothing to do with it: money talks.

    Another example of the China Doll character appeared in The Year of the Dragon. The leading actor, a white police chief who is deemed racist towards Chinese in this movie, tries beyond his best to eliminate violence in New York's Chinatown. He befriends an Asian American female news anchor to get his crack-down-on-Chinatown-violence stories on TV broadcast. The police officer is depicted as arrogant and selfish man, and the Asian American woman dislikes him immensely because he makes derogatory remarks about her being Chinese. She refuses to air his story. However, when the police officer swings by the woman's house, he coerces her into having sex with him, and she submits to him, despite giving him rejection slaps on the face prior to engaging in sexual intercourse. This movie not only showed that Asian American women were passive and indecisive, but it also stressed that Asian American women do want to have sex with white men, even if she says no initially.


2.) Dragon Lady Stereotype - http://mahdzan.com/fairy/papers/asian/asian09.htm

    "Dragon Lady" refers to an Asian woman who is perceived as seductive, desirable but at the time she is untrustworthy. Movies from the early century have been successful in portraying this stereotypical version of the Asian woman. "Daughter of Fu Manchu" is one of them. Scheming, treacherous and dangerous, the Dragon Lady is the female version of the Asian bad guy, only with a slightly different approach to defeat her enemies. She has the power to hypnotize her male rivals, gains trust by seducing them, and when they least expect it, she rids of them through sabotage or backstabbing (Espiritu).


More about the White-male / Asian-female Combination here: http://mahdzan.com/fairy/papers/asian/asian07.htm. It is described below:

    In Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) starring Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Yeoh, the plot centered on James Bond, a white secret detective, who initially had an Asian female reporter interfering with his duties. Tension builds between them until they start cooperating in their operations and predictably fall in love in the end. It has been a common sight seeing a white man paired off with an Asian woman in the movie scene, but seldom do we see an Asian man paired off with a white woman. Asian women are often depicted as easily falling in love with white men, sometimes even at just first sight. This scene has been termed the "unmotivated white-Asian romance" because the woman easily falls in love with a man because he is white (MANAA).

    We have also seen news broadcasts on television where the news anchors consist of an Asian female and a white male. An example of an Asian female news anchor that we observed on television paired off with a white male news partner was Juju Chang for ABC news. Anchor team for CBS news, Connie Chung and Dan Rather was also a popular pair on the news broadcast several years ago. We have yet to see an Asian man paired off with a white woman on the news. The only times we observed Asian men in news broadcasts made them appear solo, e.g., the weatherman on the Weather Channel or as Asia-based correspondents on CNN (Interracial).


Asian men are commonly portrayed as 1-dimensional characters possessing no sexual life whatsoever: http://mahdzan.com/fairy/papers/asian/asian06.htm

    Asian men are portrayed as passive, old and speak broken English. The term "Yellow Uncle Tom" was coined to describe Asian men of this type. The Karate Kid (1984) was a movie we saw that depicted the Asian actor as such a man. In Karate Kid, Pat Morita plays Mr. Miyagi, an old Japanese American World War II veteran who calmly trains an enthusiastic white teenage male the Japanese martial arts of karate. Despite the fact that Mr. Miyagi was an American WWII veteran, he was still portrayed speaking English with a foreign accent (Wong).

    The myth that all Asian men know some form of martial arts was also stressed in this movie when Mr. Miyagi surprises Daniel (the white male leading actor) with his karate moves after appearing passive and bashful during the first portions of the film. It reminds people to be aware of Asian men in general because passivity may not appear to be what it seems.


White men are often portrayed as romantic partners for Asian women. In contrast, Asian men are almost never portrayed as romantic partners to Asian women: http://mahdzan.com/fairy/papers/asian/asian05.htm

    Asian men are depicted as men who do not have the capability of being ideal partners to women of their own racial groups. This is emphasized when movie producers start pairing Asian women off with white men instead of men of their own races. These women supposedly prefer to be with white men.

    In the family-oriented movie based on Amy Tan's book, the Joy Luck Club portrayed Asian men as undesirable male partners. Joy Luck Club was a story of the relationships of first generation Asian American mothers and their grown-up daughters. Out of the four daughters that appeared in the movie, only one married another Asian man while the rest of the daughters married white men. Even at that, the Asian man turned out to be a stingy, selfish man with little regard for his wife. On top of that, the husbands of the mothers in this story were abusive and promiscuous Asian men. In other words, Asian men were seen as irresponsible and do not value their families.


Further analysis: http://mahdzan.com/fairy/papers/asian/asian11.htm

    In an article entitled "Portrait of White Racism" by David Wellman and Howard Pinderburghes, they mention that the creation of self requires the social construction of another. "Self implies other; without Other, there can be can be no Self." To put this assertion in congruence with our findings, without the appearance of malicious Asians in these popular movies, white appearances have no identity, no power and no privilege. The Asian male character is portrayed as being less adequate than the White male leading actor to emphasize that there is discrepancy between the two characters, and for the White man to uphold his position in the American society, the Asian character must lose the battle against his White rival.

    As shown in our analysis, Asian men are constantly being depicted as evil because being evil is unfavorable, socially unacceptable and deserves to either be isolated from the rest of society or just die out of existence.

    The Asian man must also display no competition to the White man in terms of courtship with women, especially Asian women. Out of irony, the Asian man is not allowed to have an intimate relationship with a white woman because the white woman cannot be subjected to the Asian patriarchal system, which is seen as inferior and potentially degrading. Asian men are portrayed as weak and less masculine to emphasize that they do not have the ability to attract women into entering companionship, unlike the white men who always successfully grab the attention of the Asian women.

Do not be deceived to think that Asians are the only ones being misrepresented in the big media. In truth, Non-Whites in general are being downcasted and misrepresented while Whites are being exalted simultaneously. The consistency of these double-standards and biases is staggering. It is a highly observable fact that White men are being presented as the main protagonist in most films, t.v. shows, commercials, video games, etc. And even though diversity in the media has obviously increased, the same old double-standards still far outweigh the current momentum shift. In fact, the current momentum shift to increase diversity is merely used as a means to further conceal the underlying presence of the dominant subliminal racist patterns and themes in the media. It will only serve as a false reason for the media apologists so that they will claim that racism is no longer an issue.

Media apologists will also often attempt to downplay elitism's role in the deliberate propagation of racist patterns and false stereotypes in the media. However upon further research, Yale University refutes their opinions:

    "The media have and will continue to portray a self-serving negative stereotype of the African-American community. The societal and economic factors of racism have become more than just a bias. They are also a profitable industry, in which the elite will continue to suppress the lower class in order to maximize profits. According to Harvard professor Cornell West, 1 percent of the elite holds some 48 percent of America's wealth. This means that media, racism, and stereotypes will continue to be employed so that those elite can be sure of their continuing economic stability."


So who exactly are those "elites" which Yale briefly mentions? Confused Answer: they are the Zionists who control the global corporate media:

Media Awareness http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/issues/stereotyping/ethnics_and_minorities/index.cfm states the following about the negative portrayals of Non-White people in the White Media:

    Anyone who examines North American entertainment and news media will notice that members of ethnic and visible minorities are inadequately represented in entertainment and news media, and that portrayals of minorities are often stereotypical and demeaning.
    This tendency is particularly problematic in a multicultural country like Canada, where 15 per cent of the population are immigrants and visible minorities comprise 25 to 51 per cent of the larger urban centres. Toronto is the first city in the Western world in which the majority of inhabitants are people of colour. "Without much fuss," says historian Gwyn Dyer, "We’ve become the most spectacularly diverse country in the world." Why, then, have the media not kept pace?


http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/issues/stereotyping/ethnics_and_minorities/minorities_entertainment.cfm:

    When asked, in a 2002 poll, whether the government should preserve and enhance multiculturalism, 82 per cent of Canadians said yes. So why, asks Lionel Lumb, from Carleton University’s School of Journalism, "are the millions of minorities that are so visible on our streets and in shopping malls, our offices and health care centres, so invisible on our television screens?"

    Seventy per cent of the dramas, sitcoms and series that Canadians watch are produced in the U.S. Images of minorities are lacking on those screens and they’re lacking on Canadian screens as well.

    The "White-Washing" of Entertainment

    Back in 1993, the American Screen Actors Guild (SAG) began to collect statistics on the number of ethnic and minority actors appearing in American television and films. The results were grim. Members of visible and ethnic minorities were significantly under-represented across the whole range of entertainment media. The face of North American entertainment was overwhelmingly white, mostly male and young.

    Critics and advocacy groups began to pressure the industry to produce shows and films that adequately reflect the racial and ethnic diversity we find in our communities and there have been significant gains. In its 2000 report, SAG announced a seven per cent increase in industry jobs and record numbers of roles for performers of colour, with African Americans accounting for 15 per cent of all characters in television and film. However, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) pointed out that of the four major networks’ 26 new prime-time shows for the 2000 season, none featured people of colour in lead roles.

    Canadian television—both public and private—is well known for creating programming for children and young people that reflects our multicultural society. But critics of our adult programming echo concerns voiced in the U.S. A 1994 study by Magali Dupont and Fo Niemi found that minorities in Quebec-based dramas were cast in secondary roles, usually in poorly paid occupations and unstable domestic situations, and non-white men tended to be less heroic and virile than their white counterparts.

    A small study released in 2002 by researchers at B.C.’s Simon Fraser University shows similar patterns. In the nearly 70 hours of Canadian programming examined, visible minorities made up 12 per cent of 1,200 characters—not far below the actual percentage of visible minorities in the national population. But again, it’s the way these minorities are represented that comes under fire.

    "What we’re seeing is a very superficial level of inclusion, says researcher Shane Halasz. These characters aren’t too central to the story line," he points out; and the workplace "seems to be a convenient place to include a person of colour for cosmetic purposes—without being obliged to look at their culture or what happens in their homes."

    According to Canadian actor Dhirendra, the problem of treating minorities like props is rooted in the producers’ discomfort, behind-the-scenes, with challenging the status quo. Nor, he adds, do writers like to write about things they don’t understand.

    Misrepresentation in Video Games

    Though television has established a learning curve with respect to fair minority portrayals, the video games industry seems not yet to have got the message. A 2001 study by the U.S. organization Children Now, entitled Fair Play -- Violence, Gender and Race in Video Games examined some of the most popular games to assess the extent of stereotyping. It found that:

    -most protagonists (86 per cent) were white males

    -non-white males were portrayed in stereotypical ways—seven out of ten Asian characters as fighters, and eight out of ten African-Americans as sports competitors

    -nearly nine out of ten African-American females were victims of violence (twice the rate of white females)

    -79 per cent of African-American males were shown as verbally and physically aggressive, compared to 57 per cent of white males

    The Impact on Viewers

    Entertainment media say a lot to their viewers about who counts in society. Temple University professor George Gerbner is concerned that portrayals of minority characters in entertainment media affect the ways children see themselves and others. Children Now’s 1998 study A Different World: Children’s Perceptions of Race and Class in Media supports that conclusion. Their research found that children associate white characters with various attributes: having lots of money, being well educated, being a leader, doing well in school, and being intelligent. Conversely, they associate minority characters with breaking the law, having a hard time financially, being lazy, and acting goofy.


The media's influence on the youths of society should not be taken for granted. Texas Tech University http://english.ttu.edu/KAIROS/7.2/sectiontwo/marchant/Friends.htm states:

    "The lack of diversity in Friends is also destructive to its viewers. Cultural diversity is what makes our country the most beautiful and powerful nation in the world. Without tolerance for all cultures, this powerful nation will tear at the seams. Friends, comprised almost totally of Caucasian characters, is not representative of our nation. Children Now, a child policy and advocacy organization, asked viewers to “Imagine an America where Latinos are a mere 2% of the population, and where mostly persons of color occupy lower-rung occupations.” Children Now states that this is the America that prime-time network television is showing you. Friends is supporting that illusion. Throughout an entire season of the show, characters of ethnic backgrounds other than Caucasian are rarely given even a minor role. One African-American character lives in an alley outside of the main characters’ apartment building. He was only seen for one episode, in which he begged Ross for money, and when turned away, began to mildly harass him. Another example is a Hispanic character that steals a car outside of the coffee shop where Rachel works. Are we to accept that all African-Americans and Hispanics behave in a criminal manner? This type of ignorance breeds hatred and discrimination. How can people learn to respect each other when shows like Friends preach that no respect is necessary? The lack of culture in Friends is unrealistic, and it will do nothing but harm the minds of its viewers."


This source http://ubt.opus.hbz-nrw.de/frontdoor.php?source_opus=331 says the following:

    "In the visual media, whites and non-whites are portrayed in different ways: By using the type of movie lighting which originated in Hollywood, or the narrative of a story, differences between whites and non-whites are created. Whites are usually standard. The American sitcom SEX AND THE CITY with its all-white cast sets an example for the standardization of whiteness. In its episode “No Ifs, Ands, Or Buts”, the audience is made aware of the usually unnoticed norm of whiteness when African Americans enter the scene. Whiteness and blackness are set in contrast with each other not only aesthetically through the use of lighting but also narratively through discussions on racism."


A closer look at the Hollywood movie industry clearly shows that there is more to this than just money. In this study http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1264/is_10_30/ai_59210914 emphasis has been put on the fact that, even though there have been (and are) many Non-White male actors who have natural sex appeal to women, they were consistently not used in intimate love scenes with a woman, even if that woman was of their own race.

    "Sex sells and heatthrobs get paid. So what's behind the film industry's reluctance to cast Black men in romantic lead roles? And can the trickle of Black love stories just beginning to flow from Hollywood finally turn the tide?

    ...MORRIS CHESTNUT SITS IN THE CORNER OF A CROWDED, dimly lit cafe on Sunset Boulevard, head deep in his Los Angeles Times. Ensconced in his reading, Chestnut, 30, who sizzled in last fall's romantic fable The Best Man, barely notices the eyes all around him squinting, glancing, peering, sure they recognize that finely chiseled face. Tall, dark, lithe and swooningly handsome, Chestnut epitomizes the romantic ideal for many women--and he's Hollywood's idea of a leading man as well. With a glide reminiscent of Billy Dee's and sex appeal that rivals Denzel's, Chestnut is part of a growing cadre of young Black actors, brothers who have the looks, talent and sexual charisma to make hearts flutter at the box office. But will they get their chance? Considering love stories are the most tried and true formula in Tinseltown--and given that sexy, sensuous men who can draw top-spending female audiences into the theater are the most coveted species in Hollywood--the contrast between roles assigned to White actors and Black actors is stark.

    The fact is, despite figures showing that women account for a huge share of box-office receipts, and that Blacks, though only 13 percent of the population, represent an estimated 30 percent of moviegoers, studios have never been interested in portraying Black men as fully realized sexual beings. That's why studios failed to capitalize on the huge appeal of leading men like Harry Belafonte in Carmen Jones, Billy Dee Williams in Lady Sings the Blues and Sidney Poitier in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? Instead, the movie industry turned the careers of these potential superstar heartthrobs in an action-adventure direction, casting Billy Dee in The Empire Strikes Back and Sidney Poitier in Shoot to Kill.

    ...Even Denzel Washington, 45, the ultimate crossover matinee idol for most of the last two decades, repeatedly plays characters who are as chaste as monks, getting hot and bothered on-screen only four times--as the trumpet-playing Bleek in Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues, as the sensuous Demetrius in Mira Nair's Mississippi Masala, as the fictional private eye Easy Rawlins in Washington's self-produced Devil in a Blue Dress, and as the brooding convict Jake in Lee's He Got Game. It's no coincidence that all four characters were conceived and brought to the big screen by people of color, challenging the oft-repeated refrain in Hollywood--that Washington doesn't want to do love scenes. "I've heard so many times that I don't want to do a love story, and that is just not true," Washington confirms. "The truth is, a good love story has not come my way in all these years. But I'm dedicated to doing one soon. Really, at this point in my career, a love story, a good romantic piece, is what I want to do."

    Now, you know Denzel in love would be box-office gold. So why isn't anybody asking him?.....Okay. So maybe nobody actually sat down in a big meeting and said, "Let's figure a way to keep the Black guy away from a woman." But again and again in popular films, the roles played by African-American actors are as predictable as the White leading character--one with a fully developed romantic life--saving the day. Even in so-called crossover movies, top-billed Black actors rarely have a love interest, rarely win the girl and are lucky if they even get a kiss."


From Fair.org it reads:

    Issue Area: Advertiser Influence

    "Most of the income of for-profit media outlets comes not from their audiences, but from commercial advertisers who are interested in selling products to that audience. Although people sometimes defend commercial media by arguing that the market gives people what they want, the fact is that the most important transaction in the media marketplace--the only transaction, in the case of broadcast television and radio--does not involve media companies selling content to audiences, but rather media companies selling audiences to sponsors.

    This gives corporate sponsors a disproportionate influence over what people get to see or read. Most obviously, they don't want to support media that regularly criticizes their products or discusses corporate wrongdoing. More generally, they would rather support media that puts audiences in a passive, non-critical state of mind-making them easier to sell things to. Advertisers typically find affluent audiences more attractive than poorer ones, and pay a premium for young, white, male consumers-factors that end up skewing the range of content offered to the public.

    It is becoming harder and harder to escape from the propagandistic effects of advertising..."


Below is list of research material containing many examples of how the White Media consistently lowers the image of Non-Whites while it consistently elevates the image of Whites:

- http://www.feoamante.com/Movies/Racial/racial_1960.html Movies from the 1960's to the 1980's:









- http://www.feoamante.com/Movies/Racial/racial_1990.html Movies from the 1990's:









- http://www.feoamante.com/Movies/Racial/racial_2000.html Movies from 2000 to the present day:









As we can see, these patterns are too consistent to be that of chance. It is highly unlikely that these subliminal patterns are propagated by accident. In my opinion, these patterns are clearly part of an elaborate and deliberate attempt by the media owners to condition society into perceiving Whiteness as the standard for society. As more and more of these patterns are repeated over and over again, the subconscious minds of the audience members become increasingly conditioned by those images. Remember what I said earlier; the subconscious mind always tends to gravitate around that which is most common. In other words, repetition is the most basic form of propaganda for it is the one brainwashing method which the subconscious mind is most susceptible to.

Research done by the University of Miami states the following:

    Besides acknowledging the fact that television media often offers negative stereotypical portrayals of individuals belonging to certain racial and/or ethnic groups such as African-Americans and homosexuals, social psychology goes further by examining the direct implications of these mostly negative images. One of these implications is the notion of stereotype threat, the risk of confirming a negative stereotype about one’s group as self characteristic. As an individual is constantly exposed to negative images of his/her racial or ethnic group, this person begins to internalize the same social and personal characteristics of these images.

Research from the University of Florida states:

    The Hollywood lens has shifted stereotypes of blacks from the shiftless or brutal characters of yesteryear to that of second-string players whose roles only boost those of whites in modern movies, a new book by University of Florida researchers finds...

    Unchanged are portrayals of white characters, who are depicted as noble, wise or heroic folks no matter whether they encounter rampaging blacks in old, silent flicks or oppressed blacks in color features almost a century later, said Andrew Gordon, a UF professor of English and one of the authors of the book published this month...

    There have been many studies of minority images in film - African Americans, Asian Americans and Latinos - but most ignore the obvious: About 95 percent of Hollywood movies are made by, for and about white people...

    The portrayal of leader-like whites and backup blacks has a powerful influence on the world’s image of the United States, Gordon said. “We tend to dismiss cinema as mere entertainment, yet it has profound effects in shaping our thinking and behavior."


Fair.org states: The media are the main sources of information about people of other racial groups and therefore deserve a share of the blame for the prevalence of racist attitudes.

To dismiss cinema as "mere entertainment" is a mistake and nothing short of delusion. The fact of the matter is, is that cinema and the media (in general) play very significant roles in determining the direction of pop-culture and social consensus. There is an underlying social hierarchy that is being maintained by the ruling class. The only tangible way to maintain and reinforce the current status quo (Whiteness) is to gain the support of the masses. Of course in order to gain the support of the masses, the masses have to first be conditioned and indoctrinated subconsciously. This explains why whatever is being propagated the most in the media will tend to attract more viewers and generate more appeal - because when any form of propaganda is repeated continuously, the more that the general audience becomes indoctrinated by it. Societal norms are often established by repetition. That's why it's called a "norm", because normalcy requires the subconscious association of common themes and patterns.

It is an irrefutable fact that Whiteness has become the cultural norm in diverse places such as America and Canada. Even in many places around the world, where Non-White people are the majority, Whiteness is subconsciously perceived as the "standard". In the porn industry, the term "interracial porn" never applies to a White man in a sex scene with Non-White women. It only applies whenever a Non-White man is having sex with a woman of a different race. It will never apply to a White man having sex with a woman of a different race. Such a double-standard is a clear example of a pervasive subliminal pattern that implies that White men are the male standards of human society (tacitly implying that they alone transcend the idea of race and ethnicity). Another similar pattern is the term "ethnic". White people are very rarely included in the category "ethnic" whenever that term is mentioned in any discussion of any sort, whatsoever. That is yet another racist subliminal pattern which is pervasive in our modern world today.

The Standardization of Whiteness is a very serious issue that must be exposed immediately, or it will continue to mutate into even more sophisticated forms of Covert Racism. Covert Racism, unlike Overt Racism, is subtle and hidden. This is why the censorship of racism doesn't actually stop racism today, it only reinforces it by aiding in its stealth. Other forms of Covert Racism include denial mentalities and the tendency to downplay the existence of racism. These are all contributing factors to the covert racist attitudes prevalent in the world today. You see, the Standardization of Whiteness is shrouded in Covert Racism, which in turn, stems forth White Privilege:

    Defining Whiteness and White Privilege:

    Biology alone does not determine racial identity. Our concept of race is equally shaped by social norms and expectations, which are based on historical events and current practices. In North American society, being white is perceived as the norm. Often the fact that whiteness is also a race is not acknowledged. As a result, researchers have begun to examine whiteness and to define it in terms of social impact. Such research concentrates on "white privilege" - the differences in power between whites and non-whites, and the advantages white people automatically take for granted.

    The advantages of being white include learning the history of one's own race in school, to seeing members of one's own ethnic group widely represented in the media, to being confident that job refusals are not based on one's race.

Post Internalized Racism Reply with quote
Internalized Racism

The prevalence of Whiteness in the media is a definite force in the mass indoctrination of society. It is a key player in the process of Cultural Imperialism / Assimilation. Nobody here can contest to the fact that the influence of Hollywood continues to expand globally. In fact, its influence is so incredibly pervasive that even the Asian movie industry has adopted Hollywood's persona; the emergence of Bollywood is derived from Hollywood's global impact: http://www.razonypalabra.org.mx/anteriores/n43/krampal.html (The "Hollywoodization" of Movie Industries in Asia). You can read more here: Hollywood and the Culture Elite | How the Movies Became American (source: Columbia University)

The constant idealization of Whiteness in the media (by the media) has become the impetus for the Self-Hate (Internalized Racism) that is common in Non-White populations around the world [Note: Internalized Racism, as it pertains to women from the Philippines, is called Colonial Mentality]. It is because of the globalization of Whiteness (by way of the centralized corporate media, geo-politics, capitalism http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11635.htm, corporatism, and imperialism), that many Non-White parents subconsciously groom their children to be "White" and to marry White partners so as to integrate with the global status quo. These unnatural mentalities are subconscious idolizations for Whiteness and serve to solidify White Privilege. Most self-haters are not even aware that they are self-hating. Below (taken from the first link of this paragaph) defines Internalized Racism as follows:

    Internalized racism occurs when people targeted by racism are, against their will, coerced and pressured to agree with the distortions of racism. Each of us targeted by racism fights, from childhood on, as long and as hard as we dare, to maintain a sense of ourselves as good, smart, strong, important, and powerful. However, in our societies, racist attitudes are so harsh, so pervasive, and so damaging that each of us is forced at times to turn racism in upon ourselves and seemingly agree with some of the conditioning, internalizing the messages of racism. We come to mistreat ourselves and other members of our group in the same ways that we have been mistreated as the targets of racism.


Internalized Racism that is very evident in many Non-White people often involves the urge to be "White". Michael Jackson for example, is an extreme case of Internalized Racism. He literally wanted to (and did) change his appearance from Black to White (more like Skeletor actually Shocked ). Just look at the following picture:



To a lesser extent, many Non-White people are increasingly coloring their hair blonde. Now some say that this is about "fashion". While that is sometimes true, the consistency of said pattern in relation with the overwhelming research already provided in this thread indicates that Internalized Racism is at play:

Shakira:



Blonde Asians:



This site exposes the White Media's direct influence on Asian perceptions and how many Asian women prefer Blonde hair over their natural hair colors because they are "fascinated" with Caucasian idols. Take a look http://www.mynippon.com/women/blond.htm. It reads as follows:

    How come so many women are now trying to look like blondes? While no one will never admit it openly, everyone is, of course fascinated by Caucasian bodies of both men and women. Asian men can do nothing much about their appearance other than using Armani suits that are popular in the West (since businesses in Asia still expect men to dress and look very conservative) but women have been not only more adventurous but also creative. For example, nothing is more fascinating than to see an Asian woman in a traditional dress, with her hair dyed some shade of brown....

    Traditionally, a large number of Asian women have considered Caucasian women as more attractive. The general impression is that Caucasians are taller, have more proportionate bodies (especially larger chests and butts), and the blonde hair color makes them more attractive. While something can be done about the height or breast size (cosmetic surgery, which appear to be a growing industry in many parts of Asia too), it is easy to change hair or skin color and that is the main reason for so many blonde look-alikes.


Speaking of cosmetic surgery, many Asians nowadays are so obsessed with Whiteness that many of them are experimenting with Asian Double Eye-Lid Surgery (Blepharosplasty) in order to have "White eye-lids": http://www.drmccurdy.com/double.htm. Photos below:



    "It's evidence of internalized racism," says Mura. "It really indicates something about the way in which Asians in America are indoctrinated by white standards of beauty. They feel less beautiful than those who fit the Caucasian standard of beauty."
    The main reason for that, Mura says, is the low representation of Asians in the media.

    "People grow up watching the media, which is where people are beautiful and powerful. You see very few Asian faces. The message is: the way you look is not beautiful, or doesn't count, or doesn't even exist," he says. He believes the American media also account for much of the surgery's popularity in Asia.

    "The power of the American media and American culture stretches all over the globe, and can cause people to devalue their own culture," says Mura.


Read this http://simonworld.mu.nu/archives/038862.php (Western cultural imperialism has a lot to answer for):

    Parents are taking children as young as three to plastic surgeons in China as part of a trend that is seeing the country's young generation increasingly putting themselves under the knife...Most want their noses enlarged and a fold cut onto their eyelids to make them bigger -- to make them look more like the Westerners they see in Hollywood films and the ubiquitous advertisements on billboards and magazines in China. China has become the world's eighth-largest and Asia's second-biggest cosmetics market as disposable incomes jump in an increasingly wealthy society.


This link speaks accurately about the racist beauty standards in America and who perpetrates them:

    Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but who is the beholder? Despite the ever-changing cultural, ethnic, and racial landscape of the United States, the beholder is, and historically always has been, the white male. The white male, at the apex of the social stratosphere, has defined beauty for women of all races, resulting in a gender dynamic in which women try to perfect themselves in the eyes of men. This has meant that women of color have attempted to downplay the physical attributes normally associated with their respective races, while white women seek to enhance themselves in order to resemble the fethishized woman of color.

    Because of the conflicting and seemingly authoritative ideals white men espouse for how women should look, women are increasingly obsessed with enhancing their own beauty. As a result, women of all colors are told to change themselves to something they are not. This paradox is precisely how beauty is used to keep an entire gender and entire races subjugated


It reads further:

    Why are black women looking to plastic surgery to “whiten” certain physical features? It is without a doubt a result of the images with which they are bombarded daily and the messages sent to them by white America. In some cases, plastic surgeons themselves recommend rhinoplasty to black patients. In The Guardian, Tania Branigan writes of a white plastic surgeon who tells his patients that he thinks that “European noses are much nicer.” The perception of beauty is consistently defined in a white context. The definition of beauty in America is often tall, blonde, and skinny. This definition allows for the continued subjugation of the black population. As Cornel West, Professor of Religion at Princeton University, notes, “White supremacist ideology is based first and foremost on the degradation of black bodies in order to control them.” Convincing black women that they are undesirable causes them to internalize negative images of themselves and serves to keep them subordinate to whites.

    When Vanessa Williams became the first black woman to win the Miss America Pageant in 1984, many black women rejoiced, for her victory hinted that “black womanhood could indeed represent the national identity of America.” 2 But Williams was lighter-skinned than most blacks, with few “black” features. While the black race as a whole represents a wide spectrum of beauty and body types, white America rarely bestows the label of beautiful upon any woman darker than a paper bag......

    Skin bleaching is not merely an issue of beauty, but one of race. The phenomenon has crossed borders into other countries ravaged by racism. Skin bleaching in South Africa has become so popular — and so dangerous — that the products have been banned from the country. These unsafe creams have been known to cause cancer, blotching on the skin, and other severe problems, yet African women continue to reach for them. Steeped in the history of apartheid in that country, Khany Dhlomo-Mkhize, editor of True Love magazine, observes that skin bleaching “is part of making yourself less black, ripping away at your roots ... [P]eople of mixed race, the colored community, were lighter-skinned and treated somewhat better.” Skin bleaching is becoming a popular trend in other areas too, including the Caribbean, demonstrating that it is not simply an issue of beauty, but an effort to advance socio-economically. One Jamaican girl who uses skin-bleaching creams notes that “white people get the better things in life, yes. You have a lot of advantages when you are white.”

The White corporate media's influence on the global society has distorted the minds of many cultures around the world. That is not a theory. That is a fact. Standards of Beauty have been adjusted to favor a consensus bias for Whiteness. This is yet another source which addresses said issue: http://www.nappystories.com/main/nonfiction/beautystandards.htm

    It is as if the White media has become so enamored with the truth of its propaganda and so confident of its effectiveness on the psyches of other races and ethnic groups that it does not hesitate to make these ridiculous and arrogant declarations. And it does so over and over again. Periodically, magazines and periodicals will announce in bold headlines that some White woman is the "World’s Most Beautiful" or that some White man is "The Sexiest Man Alive" thereby insinuating that Whites alone occupy the precipice of unrivaled beauty and desirability.


Below are two videos which serve as solid evidence that many Non-White children are brainwashed into perceiving Whiteness as the standard for beauty:

Video 1: http://opposingdigits.com/vlog/?p=717 - This documentary presents a doll test in which Black toddlers were given a choice between two dolls (one Black and one White). They were then asked to pick which doll they would find more attractive. Most of the children picked the White doll. What's even more disturbing is the fact that one of the children considered the Black doll as "ugly" even though she is Black herself.

Video 2:

Download this Video!      faqs      Full Screen
- In this video, a Non-White child openly and repeatedly considers Non-White physical features as "gay". She also considers White physical features as "good". Furthermore, she repeatedly says that she wants to be "White".

To put it succinctly, the prevalence of Whiteness in the media largely contributes to the subconscious Internalized Self-Hate that is common in Non-White people. Now with that being said, it is important to understand that the common internalization of self-hate in many Non-White people is multi-layered. What I mean by that is, had it not been for the deeply rooted psychological generational scars that came about because of the cultural oppressions unleashed by Historical European Imperialism, the tendency of many Non-White people to engage in Self-Hate wouldn't be as rampant as it is now. However, because many Non-White people today came from culturally oppressed ancestry, they were brought up in a way that would make it even easier for the Globalization of Whiteness to influence and shape them even further. Even before the modern media came into force, Internalized Racism was already highly evident in Non-White populations -- again, it's mainly because of European Imperialism, which of course, preceded the modern media.

This link summarizes the modern racist paradigm quite accurately:

    "Racial identity in the United States is not shaped in a neutral environment. The identities of People of Color form in response to racial oppression, and the identities of Whites form in response to racial superiority. These two identity dynamics manifest in a complex range of attitudes and behaviors that support and perpetuate the racist paradigm in this country. In order to work together to dismantle individual, institutional, and cultural racism, People of Color and Whites must understand how these identity dynamics operate in specific institutional settings, and devise strategies to overcome the barriers and oppression that are created by them."


And with identities that form in response to racial superiority, come denial mentalities. The denial mentality most common in many White people is called White Denial.

Post White Denial Mentality Reply with quote
White Denial Mentality

Indeed, one of the most sensitive subjects today is the topic of Racism. It has emerged to become one of the most fiercely debated subjects in the internet. Consequently, it has also become one of the most downplayed subjects as well. What's most revealing about this subject is the concentration of particular behavioral patterns which are prevalent in certain racial groups (particularly Whites). You see, in the general White society the tendency to downplay the subject of Racism is extremely common. This psychological phenomenon is identified as White Denial. In fact there was a CNN Poll which clearly shows that many White people tend to downplay the existence and impact of Racism in general society. Take a look below:



Additional research on White Denial Mentality:

http://www.lipmagazine.org/~timwise/whatcard.html (The Absurdity (and Consistency) of White Denial)

This source http://www.trinicenter.com/WorldNews/denial.htm talks about White Denial:

    Those who mention the poll from the National Opinion Research Center, indicating that between 50% and 75% of whites believe Blacks and Latinos are lazier, more violent, and prefer welfare to work, are called "fear-mongers," who see racists behind every personnel directors door....

    The cry of "I'm not a racist, but..." could be a new stanza in the national anthem. It is America's collective cliche. No one is a racist. Black and Latino poverty couldn't possibly be the consequence of economic decline, wage stagnation, or discrimination. Everybody gets a fair shot so if they can't cut it, the fault lies not in our institutions, but with theirs: their ghettoes, their penchant for Malt Liquor and crack cocaine, their lack of a work ethic, and now perhaps their defective, intellect-starved DNA.

    What will it take to make white folks believe that racism is still a persistent social phenomenon, albeit more subtle and concealed than in years past? When Rodney King was beaten, the voices of denial told us it was just a few bad cops, and anyway, he was speeding and "lunging around like some animal." When police in Virginia Beach assaulted African-American collegians during spring break a few years back, the voices of denial said "it wasn't racial, and anyway, a lot of those kids were looting." Indeed, whenever white cops kill or assault people of color, or even other "minority" cops, it's never racial. It was an accident. Bad judgment. And anyway, it's a jungle out there. The police are under a lot of pressure. But isn't it strange how we never hear about Black officers "accidentally" blowing away white teenagers during routine traffic stops? Are they somehow immune to the pressure which seemingly sends so many of their white colleagues over the edge?

    Even when David Duke got nearly 60% of the white vote for U.S. Senate and almost 55% of the white vote for Louisiana Governor one year later, the voices of denial assured us Duke's supporters weren't racists. They were just "tired of business as usual," and wanted to "send Washington a message." That the message they had in mind might have been a bit more sinister than "gee whiz, here's a great guy who supports term limits," was entirely overlooked as a possibility.

    Sometimes the denial gets downright silly. In 1989 (during my senior year of college) when a cross was burned on the lawn of a Tulane University fraternity, the very night that fraternity had issued its first-ever bid to a Black student, many white students and administrators said they didn't think the incident was racially-motivated, especially since "it was only a two-foot cross"(?) Four months later, when members of another fraternity burned a cross in their backyard, after nailing a Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard sign to the structure, the perpetrators actually claimed that the two pieces of wood had "just kinda' fallen into the bonfire in a cross-like position." As for the street sign? Nobody knew how that had gotten in there. Some even claimed, as proof of their innocence that they would have been forced to go to the black part of town had they wanted to steal an MLK Boulevard sign, and that, after all would have been too dangerous! No sir, no racism in these here parts."


It's important when trying to expose White Denial not to downplay Reverse Racism. Reverse Racism is certainly a serious problem as well. However, it is derivative to White Racism. As MLK Jr. once said, "It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society." http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/martinluth115047.html

Here are some additional sources pertaining to the Psychology of Racism:

http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20010901-000019.html -Racism Breeds Ignorance
http://www.apa.org/pi/oema/racebib/psychofrace.html - Research list
http://www.apa.org/pi/oema/racebib/racismin.html - Racism in Psychology | Section II
http://www.apa.org/pi/oema/racebib/antirace.html - Psychology of Anti-Racism | Secion III
http://www.greenwood.com/catalog/GR9659.aspx - catalog: Racism in Contemporary America

Typical White Denial comments which attempt to downplay Racism usually consist of the following types of stances:

    "Blacks should stop victimizing themselves. They should quit whining."
    "The media gives people what they want. It's a business. It's not racist. It only reflects the real world. It doesn't shape it."
    "So what? Get over yourselves. There is no more slavery. Stop crying."
    "If it had not been for Imperialism, the African Americans today would not exist."
    "Stop being paranoid. Do you still see the KKK marching all over the streets? No. So stop whining."
    "Blacks are too sensitive and they are solely responsible for their own failures."
    "Stop playing the race card. Let's move on and stop talking about race issues."
    "Blaming whitey won't pay the bills...And it won't put food on your table. "


All of the above are examples of downplaying tactics. They are most commonly used by White people who wish to remain oblivious to the subject of Racism and Race issues in general. The only way to expose and deconstruct the global racist paradigm in our world today is to first address the subject of Racism with honesty and courage. The lies need to stop now.

Though it is a bit off topic I thought Alan Watt's insights on Africa were a fresh perspective for an area that the media only makes us have pity for yet their masters are the one's responsible for its past and current destruction.

Post The Color Labels Must Go Reply with quote
The Color Labels Must Go

I'd like to include in this thread a point about the idea of discarding fraudulent race labels such as "Black" or "White". In my opinion I believe said labels are not only false, but are also loaded with a myriad of psychological conditioning mechanics. You see these words come with very powerful stigmata that go way back into history; certainly much earlier than the time when races became associated with the color spectrum (which is completely preposterous in my opinion).

http://bolokids.com/2006/0339.htm (White: The Color of the "Gods")

It's important to note as well that since different cultures throughout history have given different meanings for the colors, that it is through Global European Expansionism / Imperialism during recent centuries that has brought about a dominant subconscious view of the word "White" in modern times. We know that in European Culture, the word "White" is associated with positivity and goodness. For example, the word "White" is usually associated with cleanliness, truth, peace, joy, bliss, angelic themes, heavenly settings, marriage, purity, innocence, etc., whereas the word "Black" is usually associated with evil, death, pain, sadness, devilish themes, hellish settings, corruption, submissiveness, etc. These are the color associations which subconsciously pervade the world today.

The images below reflect the globally pervasive theme of positivity associated with the word "White" in modern times. Brides wear white to symbolize virginity, purity, happiness, and innocence -- http://www.gagirl.com/wedding/wedding2.html

Quote:
White has ever been a symbol of innocence, of a world unspoiled and untarnished. The meaning of a bunch of glowing white roses is innocence and spiritual love. The white rose glorifies a love that is unaware of the temptations of the flesh and resides only in the soul. As opposed to the red rose that speaks of passionate promises, the meaning of a white rose is in its simplicity and pristine purity....

Angels are very often depicted with White apparel -- http://www.color-wheel-pro.com/color-meaning.html

Quote:
White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. As opposed to black, white usually has a positive connotation. White can represent a successful beginning. In heraldry, white depicts faith and purity.

In advertising, white is associated with coolness and cleanliness because it's the color of snow. You can use white to suggest simplicity in high-tech products. White is an appropriate color for charitable organizations; angels are usually imagined wearing white clothes. White is associated with hospitals, doctors, and sterility, so you can use white to suggest safety when promoting medical products. White is often associated with low weight, low-fat food, and dairy products.


(Note: They are also usually depicted with "White" facial features, physical traits, etc):



These ones (below) clearly have racist overtones stamped all over them. In the below pictures, the Christian Archangel St. Michael -- who clearly has "White" physical traits -- stands victorious over "Satan" and other "devils" who appear dark-skinned, with non-"White" physical features. Take a look:



Jesus is very often depicted with "White" physical traits -- http://www.awitness.org/journal/mel_gibson_passion_white_christ.html (Why is Mel Gibson's Jesus A White European? The Passion of the - White - Christ). On a side note, I completely doubt that Jesus even existed. In fact, there is more than enough research to prove that Jesus was a fictional rehash of earlier fictitious messianic characters.

Below are many pictures which depict the Jesus character with "White" physical features:



All of the above pictures are just a few of the many globally pervasive representations associated with the word White. This in effect also plays a significant factor in conditioning society into perceiving the races according to the deeply long-held subliminal beliefs with the color spectrum. It also explains why when Caucasian people continue to be identified as "White", they are frequently subconsciously perceived as superior to other races. We must also recognize that the social construction of Whiteness to represent a race of people is in itself, a global fraud, which came about because of Global European Imperialism / Colonialism:

-- http://www.uwm.edu/%7Egjay/Whiteness/Whitenesstalk.html

Quote:
Where did white people come from, anyway? Who invented whiteness? Scholars of race generally agree that the modern meaning of whiteness emerges in the centuries of European colonialism and imperialism that followed the Renaissance. Now granted, human begins have always clustered themselves in groups -- families, clans, tribes, ethnic populations, nation states, etc. -- and these groups have regularly been the source of discrimination and violence. At times it seems that an "us versus them" mentality starts on every playground and extends into every neighborhood, society, and government. Since human beings appear to require a sense of identity, and since identity is constructed by defining whom and what you are different from, it may be that the politics of difference will never be erased from human affairs........

Whiteness, of course, is a delusion -- as the insane Captain Ahab of Moby Dick demonstrates. Scientists today agree that there is no such thing as "race," at least when analyzed in terms of genetics or behavioral variation. Every human population is a mongrel population, full of people descended from various places and with widely differing physical qualities. Racial purity is the most absurd delusion, since intermarriage and miscegenation have been far more the norm than the exception throughout human ethnic history. "Race," then, is what academics like to call a "socially constructed" reality. Race is a reality in the sense that people experience it as real and base much of their behavior on it. Race, however, is only real because certain social institutions and practices make it real. Race is real in the same way that a building or a religion or a political ideology is real, as each is the result of human effort, not a prescription from nature or God. Thus the concept of race can have little or no foundation, yet it can still be the force that makes or breaks someone's life, or the life of a people or a nation.


You see when reading that -- and taking into consideration that the concept of race has been enhanced with the stereotypes connected to the color spectrum -- we can now understand very clearly what the below quote means by "White people":

Quote:
For white people, race functions as a large ensemble of practices and rules that give white people all sorts of small and large advantages in life. Whiteness is the source of many privileges, which is one reason people have trouble giving it up. It is important to stress that to criticize whiteness is not necessarily to engage in a massive orchestration of guilt. Guilt is often a distracting and mistaken emotion, especially when it comes to race. White people are fond of pointing out that as individuals they have never practiced discrimination, or that their ancestors never owned slaves. White people tend to cast the question of race in terms of guilt in part because of the American ideology of individualism, by which I mean our tendency to want to believe that individuals determine their own destinies and responsibilities. In this sense it is un-American to insist that white Americans benefit every day from their whiteness, whether or not they intend to do so. But that is the reality. Guilt, then, has nothing to do with whiteness in this sense of benefitting from structural racism and built-in privileges. I may not intend anything racial when I apply for a loan, or walk into a store, or hail a cab, or ask for a job -- but in every circumstance my whiteness will play a role in the outcome, however "liberal" or "anti-racist" I imagine myself to be. White men have enormous economic advantages because of the disadvantages faced by women and minorities, no matter what any individual white men may intend. If discrimination means that fewer qualified applicants compete with you for the job, you benefit. You do not have to be a racist to benefit from being white. You just have to look the part.


You see we must recognize Whiteness for what it really is; a social construct which is attached with certain societal privileges. Caucasians are not White and never were to begin with. They are just the people who are stereotyped with the label "White"; this false association then, plays a poweful role in perpetuating the global White Privilege that Caucasians currently enjoy. Furthermore, we also know that Caucasians themselves, just like any other "race", are really mongrels (mixed breeds); all of which may have originated from Africa:

The Jewish media tends to downplay the crimes of blacks and Latinos and JEWS (of course). But they don't hold back when it comes to reporting crimes of white males.

America is still a majority white country and has historically been so; it's natural to have white male in the leads. I doubt this is a racist plot by whites in this country to make Asian males feel insecure or whatever. Most countries feature the main ethnic group as male leads in movies. Actually, many of the movie stars are Jewish caucasians: Bruce Willis, Michael Douglas
http://www.jewwatch.com/jew-entertainment-folder.html
Many actresses are Jews as well eg. Scarlett Johansson. Hollywood is run by Jews not by Gentile whites. So if you want blame a group for the representation of minorities in movies, don't blame whites, blame Jews. And Jews often portray whites to be bad people in movies and stereotype them: the Nazi, the redneck, Arhcie Bunker. You will hardly ever catch them doing the same thing to Jewish people (when they do they are the 'lovable' types; see The Nanny).

I think the Jewish media plays up the racism of whites in this country and ignores racism shown to whites. The Jews have manipulated the race debate enormously in America because they benefit from the laws that result from the manipulation: affirmative action policies that favor minority races in employment and education including Jews even though they are not a race but really a religious/social group. It also is a rod they can wield over the majority whites and keep them compliant and obedient. All they have to do is shout 'racist!' and "Nazi!" and "Hater!" to keep them in line and obedient. Hate Laws, the Patriot Act, MCA, the Jew-dominated judiciary also keep whites subservient and quiet and non-dissenting.

The white male has been emasculated by the Jews. I think Jews show racism to (gentile) whites; and they are racist to other minorities as well. In fact they feel superior to all the races: check out Michael Richards' rant. I don't want to condemn him overly as he was feeling stressed out on stage and lashed out blindly but his views are probably not that far from what most Jewish people feel, which is they think the blacks owe them a lot for what the Jews have done politically for them. So they are arrogant towards blacks. They are arrogant towards all the minority races for that matter, because Jews feel they are the people who made liberalism happen in America, and that benefited the minorities eg. liberal immigration policies and AA. It's a two-way street; the Jews exploit the racism experienced by non-white minorities and hoodwink people into thinking they are one of them, a minority group that suffers discrimination on the basis of race when they are not the same. Jews used to be the principle slave traders and it was a Jew (Sassoon) who oversaw the opium trade in China and got the British to quell the rebellion when the Chinese decided to throw these drug pushers out; it was also Jews who exploited Indian workers in the nineteenth century using them as sweatshop workers.

It is a divide and conquer technique the Jews use and they have done it effectively in America to undercut the power of whites and take it for themselves.

Actually it's quite the opposite, except for the Jews (who aren't even a race). The crimes of "Blacks" and Latinos are not downplayed, they are overplayed. The crimes of "Whites" are the ones downplayed. I suggest you read the book The Black Image in The White Mind.

Quote:
The Black Image in the White Mind - a wonderful book and multiple award winner, written by Robert M. Entman and Andrew Rojecki, discusses the effects of life in a segregated society. It offers a comprehensive look at the intricate and subtle racial patterns in the mass media and discusses how these powerful images play a significant role in shaping the attitudes of Whites toward Blacks. White Americans, they show, learn about African Americans not through personal relationships, but through the images shown by the media. In addition, they reveal a subtle pattern of images that communicates a racial hierarchy (with Whites on top) and promotes a sense of difference and conflict.

Entman and Rojecki illustrate how the television news focus on black poverty and crime is grossly out of proportion with the reality of black life, how use of black 'experts' is limited to 'black-themed' issues, and how 'black politics' are often distorted in the news.

In short, they conclude that although there are more images of African-Americans on television now than ever, these images are often harmful to the prospect of unity between the races.

A brief summary of some of their findings are listed below:

- A mug shot of a Black defendant is 4 times more likely to appear in a local television news report than of a White defendant

- The accused is 2 times more likely to be shown physically restrained in a local television news report than when the accused is White

While Black actors are now more visible in films, it is an open question as to how well they are being represented. Compare, for example, how Blacks and Whites are portrayed in the top movies of 1996.

Black female movie characters shown using vulgar profanity: 89%

White female movie characters shown using vulgar profanity: 17%

Black female movie characters shown being physically violent: 56%

White female movie characters shown being physically violent: 11%

Black female movie characters shown being restrained: 55%

White female movie characters shown being restrained: 6%


The above statistics don't lie. Wink

America was founded on European Imperialism. It is through the Imperialistic cultural upbringing of America's "White" establishment that the basis of the media bias is deeply rooted on. It is racist because the European Imperialists were racist. That's a documented fact (Note: I believe I covered this in the first part of this thread). Furthermore, even though America is a majority "White country" as you like to put it, diversity in America within the United States isn't exactly small either. Read this: http://usinfo.state.gov/journals/itsv/0699/ijse/capop.htm

Quote:
As the new century looms, the population of the United States continues to grow increasingly diverse. In recent years, Hispanics and minority racial groups (defined here as racial and ethnic groups that make up less than 50 percent of the population and include non-Hispanic blacks, Asians and American Indians) have each grown faster than the population as a whole. In 1970 these groups together represented only 16 percent of the population. By 1998 this share had increased to 27 percent. Assuming current trends continue, the Bureau of the Census projects that these groups will account for almost half of the U.S. population by 2050. Although such projections are necessarily imprecise, they do indicate that the racial and ethnic diversity of the United States will expand substantially in the next century.


Furthermore, Non-"Whites" in general (not just Asian males alone) are undermined by the "White" media. Studying the thread thoroughly would have shown you enough evidence of the highly consistent pattern of White favoritism in the media, despite the fact that America is a very diverse nation. The sheer magnitude of the consistency and pervasiveness of these media patterns that undermine Non-"Whites" and elevate "Whites" is really a strong indicator that there's probably a deliberate motive behind it. Suspicions are justified and are necessary. To downplay all of this evidence would be a mistake. Please reconsider your "opinion". Idea

I'm not blaming "Whites". I'm exposing the racist paradigm which obviously favors "Whites". I'm bringing you the facts, plain and simple. Also, I'm not blaming the general Gentile or Jew populace either (you know, the Average Joe who has no real clue what's going on). I'm trying to expose the elitism (which is obviously Zionist controlled) and the classism which the "White" Zionist media elite maintains.

Whiteness is a social construct, not an actual race. Read my previous post right above your's -- a post which you probably didn't read thoroughly, since you responded much too quickly; even though it would have taken you (or anyone for that matter) an extensive amount of time to review and study all of its links. Also, there are Caucasians who are Jews. Therefore, when those Hollywood Caucasian Jews you pointed out portray "Whites" as bad people, they are basically depicting other Caucasians as bad people.

That's actually a very valid point. But you must understand that Whiteness itself is a construct of European Imperialism. Again, please refer to my previous post which exposes Whiteness for what it is. It is not a race, it is a societal label. Caucasians were not always called "Whites" throughout the course of history. The same goes for "Blacks".

Emasculated? Once again, you've got it completely backwards. This thread is loaded with consistently documented studies which show that the Zionist media elite constantly try to elevate the "White" Caucasian man as the standard male for Humanity. Where do you get your information? I'm curious as to why you seem to be completely backwards in relation to the overwhelming evidence that stands before you in this thread.

debus wrote:

Caucasians can be Jews as well, not just Gentiles. It's also time to stop associating Caucasians with the label of "White". Again, read my previous post which sits right above your's. Please don't rush through it. Wink

I'm aware that Judaism is a racist religion (just like most, if not all, religions are racist). Keep in mind though, that it is important for people (especially when exposing Zionism, Elite Jewry, etc. and all of the hidden facets), not to get caught up in a single-minded approach which tends to generalize ALL Jewish people (including the clueless followers of Judaism) as conscious partakers of the global conspiracy. There are disinfo agents who have been known to utilize such a single-minded approach as a means to attract Anti-Semitism - which in itself, is a part of the multiple double-think contrivances that the Zionist media relies on for the sake of generating sympathy for the Jews and Jewry in general.

debus wrote:

The Zionists control America and the media. They also happen to be usually Caucasian aka "Whites".

Quote:
Most of the decision-makers in North American news and entertainment media are white. Media ownership is mainly concentrated in the hands of white males; white journalists dominate the mainstream media; and white people hold most creative positions in the entertainment media as actors, writers and directors. All these factors contribute to the prevalence of whiteness in media, and help to reinforce white privilege as the norm.

Most mainstream media content also reinforces white privilege by featuring white characters and addressing white interests and experiences. When programming does feature non-white characters, they usually appear in supporting roles.

News and information media also demonstrate the preponderance of white privilege:

In the early 1990s, the media watchdog Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) surveyed the makeup of the guests on ABC's Nightline. It found that 80 per cent were professionals, 89 per cent were male, and 92 per cent were white.


FAIR also found that on PBS's MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, 90 per cent of the guests were white, 87 per cent were male, and 67 per cent were current or former government officials.


A 1996 survey conducted by Women, Men and Media found that subjects interviewed for the evening news were predominantly (75 per cent) professional white men. As well, 86 per cent of American network news was also reported by white men.






PS, I forgot to thank Edisme for providing that link as it pertains to Africa. 8-)

When I say 'whites' I mean "Gentile Whites". In the news media, when the person who commits a crime is black or Mexican, they downplay the race factor. When the person is Gentile white, they don't. It's obvious what the Jews are doing: they're sweeping racial issues under the carpet to promote multiracialism, because Jews benefit when they make a country multiracial - economically, socially and the 'divide and conquer' strategy. Jews love playing one race off another.

How much media coverage does the Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian murders get? What if it were Gentile whites killing blacks?

http://tightrope.cc/news/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=259

Judicial article about the reporting of this crime:

I would agree that whites control the media but it's not gentile whites who control it, it's Jews.

Do white Jews make gentile whites look good when they flood the news with reports on murderers like Jeffrey Dahmer but don't even make a news report that makes it to the front pages when it comes to Jewish cannibals?

Code:
http://judicial-inc.biz/a_Nathan_bar_jonah.htm


Or any of these other crimes committed by Jews?

Code:
http://judicial-inc.biz/1_master_supreme.htm


Friedman child molesting family; lawyer couple alleged to have practised bestiality and sicked a dog onto a neighbor?

You can't talk about racism in the media unless you talk about the role of Jews who control it.

Blacks ARE violent. Look at the incarceration rate for black males who have committed violent crimes. Pretending that it is not so and that they have just been victimized to look violent by Gentile whites is foolish and playing the race game the Jews want Gentiles to play.

Even blacks show an involuntary fear reaction in the primitive part of their brains when shown a black face in a study.

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=24085

Yeah, I know what people are going to say, it's because even blacks have been brainwashed by constant images of violent blacks in the media, but that doesn't explain how blacks got that reputation in the first place; could it be that blacks on average ARE more violent than other races?

Not facing up to the truth because it's racist doesn't help blacks; it doesn't help anyone except the Jews who want to use race as a weapon and don't care how they do it, even if it means America becomes a dangerous place to live with an uninformed population. Because when America finally breaks down and racial riots erupt, the Jews will be in Israel or another foreign country bags in hand, saying "Let us in, we're being persecuted by American whites (Jews don't see themselves as whites; they see themselves as Jews, special people," and starting the whole racial thing again.

Compared to many other countries I've lived in and seen, Gentile white Americans are very tolerant. You won't find many people in Asian or African countries welcoming an influx of foreign races into their countries changing the demographic racial makeup completely in less than a century so that the original ethnic group becomes a minority or is almost a minority. And it's not only America; look at Sweden, the Netherlands and other Gentile white countries.

I think the gentile whites are racist thing is overplayed and you are carrying it to the extreme with some of the examples you put up such as the ones indicating white indicates purity and good things and so on: white wedding etc. People weren't necessarily thinking of skin color when they came up with these concepts, I think you're reading too much into it and going overboard and finding racism in places where there is none. White and black are colors in themselves; people react to them psychologically in different ways such as they react to other colors (red=anger and blue=calmness); and these are reactions that have nothing to do with racial skin tones which aren't absolutely white or black most of the time anyway.

Not that I can keep up with this, but aren't the current Israelis racist towards the darker Jews?

I think what we're seeing is a cast system where Caucasian Jews are at the top. I'll leave it at that since I haven't taken the time to investigate further.

Debus, I seriously don't have the time to respond at a rate as fast you and I probably never will be able to be quick on the "submit" button as the average poster is. I have a lot of work to do and am quite a busy person. However, let me try to make this as succinct as possible because I do believe you have a few acceptable points to make (and have clarified in more detail); that it should be considered as part of the factors involved in the modern racist paradigm. I'll in fact just respond to one of your statements (below) because it gives me the opportunity to sum up what I have been saying all along very quickly. Don't get me wrong, I should point out a lot of factual errors in your other points as well -- just don't have the time to do it right now. I also don't think it's necessary since this post will do a sweeping counter.

They almost always downplay racism whenever Jews are the ones behind it. You must also keep in mind that "Whites", whether they are Jews or Non-Jews, are the ones being exalted and standardized by the Zionist media far beyond Non-"Whites", on a consistent basis. That is one of the the major factors which this thread is clearly exposing, because it is an integral component of the modern racist paradigm.

You are also incorrect (and predictably stubborn) to insist that Non-"White" crimes are downplayed within this modern racist paradigm by the Zionist controlled media. I have given you documented statistics, validated consistent research. What more do you want? Are you in denial? Laughing Your persistent insistance seems to be typical of White Denial Mentality; something I already covered in this thread.

Let me tell you something else as well. Before you posted in this thread about making a point on the Jews, it was clear that you rushed through some portions of the article. In one of the sections above, I did expose the Zionist media. You claimed that I was blaming the Gentile "Whites" and not focusing on the Jews. I was clearly blaming the Zionist media. This was the part which you missed (hint: it can be found in The White Media section):

Quote:
So who exactly are those "elites" which Yale briefly mentions? Answer: they are the Zionists who control the global corporate media:

Zionist control of the media:

http://zionismexplained.org/media/media.html
http://www.the7thfire.com/9-11/Pastore_Investigation_of_%209-11/chapter_7--Zionist_power_structure_in_America.htm (Zionist power structure in the United States)

Related research:

http://www.serendipity.li/zionism.htm
http://www.wrmea.com/html/focus.htm


Therefore almost everything you posted in this thread is moot. Why? Because I already covered it. You clearly rushed through the thread. And it is because you rushed through the thread that you misunderstood many of my points. Your misunderstanding has caused you to claim that I wasn't focusing on the Zionist media. I'm clearly exposing the Zionist media; so in the process, I also have to expose the pervasive patterns in the media which the Zionists promote the MOST. That promotion consists of general "Whiteness". I also explained that "Whiteness" isn't a race, but a label that has been endowed on Caucasians -- via European Imperialism, Colonialism, etc. European Imperialism is also rooted (historically) to racist religious ideologies going back to Christianity (and further back to Judaism, etc.).

Anyways, I regret not having more time to respond frequently. But that is just something you will have to get used to with me. But as a request, please don't rush through posts. And I mean this politely. There are several reasons for this. One being, is that rushing through posts will cause the reader to misunderstand the general intent of the thread and in turn, will try to overlay his misinterpretation unto the thread. That would be an unfortunate situation because it has the potential to mislead new readers who might only have the luxury time to read the latest few posts. It's irresponsible practice and I hope you understand. Another reason is, is that it is disrespectful to the writer of the article - mainly because the writer has gone through so much effort while sacrificing so much time to research the subject matter for months (in my case, almost 6 months), and posting that information in a cohesive seamless format takes at least several hours. It is not an easy task and it expends a lot of mental energy.

If you have something to say, make sure it hasn't been covered already. I can understand that you may want to add things which I might not have covered in more detail. That is definitely appreciated and encouraged. I can also understand that since this is a long expose, that readers may not have the time to read it in full. That is the fundamental difference between reading a thread and posting in a thread. Since a reader is aware that he may not have the time to read all the details, he should be responsible not to post until he has read everything. Those are the things I can (and should) understand. It is a different matter however, when a reader consciously knows he has not read everything and still decides to overlay his misinterpretation unto the thread; a misinterpretation that has led you to claim that I'm not blaming the Zionist media. Such a false claim only taints the credibility of this thread. This thread revolves around exposing the persistent racist propaganda which Zionist media uses. You are much too smart (I hope) to have completely missed that point, and this is why I am convinced you just rushed through it. Shame on you

Good post by the way, MT. The Caucasian Jews really do seem to be at very top of the racist modern social hierarchy. The second to the top would be the Caucasian Non-Jews. Non-Caucasians (in general) are considered the most "inferior"; a group of which probably has a few "exceptions".

Regards.

The statement quoted above has motivated me to come up with the following schematic (below). Please take a look. It seems that this is how the modern racist social hierarchy looks like (if anyone wants to give corrections, it's appreciated):



For your information, I might be slightly off when it comes to who is higher up on the racist system; whether it's the Caucasian Jewish Female or the Non-Jewish Caucasian Male. Perhaps the Caucasian Jewish Female is higher up behind the scenes, but the Non-Jewish Caucasian Male is more elevated in the exterior media (meaning in the movies, commercials, etc.). Idea Whatever the case is, it's clear that the Jewish (more specifically Zionist) Caucasian Male seems to be at the apex calling the shots.

Post Debus has been exposed as a racist (keep reading). Reply with quote
I have some time, at the moment, so I decided to address the other points Debus posted earlier:

debus wrote:
In the news media, when the person who commits a crime is black or Mexican, they downplay the race factor. When the person is Gentile white, they don't. It's obvious what the Jews are doing: they're sweeping racial issues under the carpet to promote multiracialism, because Jews benefit when they make a country multiracial - economically, socially and the 'divide and conquer' strategy.


You are being repetitive and redundant. I have addressed that exact statement already. I will do it again (not for your sake), but for any potential new reader who might be susceptible to your repetitiion tactics. You see I debunked your point even before you posted it. It was debunked in the section The White Media. In fact let me show you again. Please read this:

Quote:
Media apologists will also often attempt to downplay elitism's role in the deliberate propagation of racist patterns and false stereotypes in the media. However upon further research, Yale University refutes their opinions:

"The media have and will continue to portray a self-serving negative stereotype of the African-American community. The societal and economic factors of racism have become more than just a bias. They are also a profitable industry, in which the elite will continue to suppress the lower class in order to maximize profits. According to Harvard professor Cornell West, 1 percent of the elite holds some 48 percent of America's wealth. This means that media, racism, and stereotypes will continue to be employed so that those elite can be sure of their continuing economic stability."


Debus, let's see you counter that. Or will you continue to deny and spin your way in this debate? You are VERY predictable. Dancing

Once again, you are repeating a dead point I already debunked. How much longer can you sustain this repetition tactic of your's? Seriously, your debate tactics are beginning to resemble those of the 9/11 official story defenders. Do you want me to repost the statistics a second time? Take a look (this is how I responded to that same dead point of your's earlier:

Actually it's quite the opposite, except for the Jews (who aren't even a race). The crimes of "Blacks" and Latinos are not downplayed, they are overplayed. The crimes of "Whites" are the ones downplayed. I suggest you read the book The Black Image in The White Mind.

Quote:
The Black Image in the White Mind - a wonderful book and multiple award winner, written by Robert M. Entman and Andrew Rojecki, discusses the effects of life in a segregated society. It offers a comprehensive look at the intricate and subtle racial patterns in the mass media and discusses how these powerful images play a significant role in shaping the attitudes of Whites toward Blacks. White Americans, they show, learn about African Americans not through personal relationships, but through the images shown by the media. In addition, they reveal a subtle pattern of images that communicates a racial hierarchy (with Whites on top) and promotes a sense of difference and conflict.

Entman and Rojecki illustrate how the television news focus on black poverty and crime is grossly out of proportion with the reality of black life, how use of black 'experts' is limited to 'black-themed' issues, and how 'black politics' are often distorted in the news.

In short, they conclude that although there are more images of African-Americans on television now than ever, these images are often harmful to the prospect of unity between the races.

A brief summary of some of their findings are listed below:

- A mug shot of a Black defendant is 4 times more likely to appear in a local television news report than of a White defendant

- The accused is 2 times more likely to be shown physically restrained in a local television news report than when the accused is White

While Black actors are now more visible in films, it is an open question as to how well they are being represented. Compare, for example, how Blacks and Whites are portrayed in the top movies of 1996.

Black female movie characters shown using vulgar profanity: 89%

White female movie characters shown using vulgar profanity: 17%

Black female movie characters shown being physically violent: 56%

White female movie characters shown being physically violent: 11%

Black female movie characters shown being restrained: 55%

White female movie characters shown being restrained: 6%


The above statistics don't lie.

Should I repost it a 3rd time? Or will you finally acknowledge the facts once and for all? Only time will tell.

Judicial article about the reporting of this crime:

http://judicial-inc.biz/car_jacked.htm


The Zionist media downplays Gentile "White" crimes in comparison to "Black" crimes. But it is true that the Zionist media still overplays Gentile "White" crimes in comparison to Zionist "White" crimes. Overall, Gentile "White" crimes are still downplayed within the overall racist paradigm. Also, the fact aht Gentile "White" crimes are overplayed in comparison to Jewish "White crimes does not suggest that "Blacks" and other Non-"Whites" are being elevated by the Zionist media. If you think that is the case, you clearly haven't studied this thread.

debus wrote:
I would agree that whites control the media but it's not gentile whites who control it, it's Jews.


That's one of the central points of this thread. I made a strong emphasis that it was the Zionist media owners who are the elite cabal behind all of the racist pervasive subliminal propaganda. It was in the section titled The White Media. I even gave several links which expose the Zionist media and the Zionist power structure within the United States. I also reposted that particular part already. Perhaps you rushed through the thread and decided to post without first checking. Hmmmm? Wink

debus wrote:
Do white Jews make gentile whites look good when they flood the news with reports on murderers like Jeffrey Dahmer but don't even make a news report that makes it to the front pages when it comes to Jewish cannibals?


You are not looking at the overall picture. I am looking at a much wider scope than you. I'm exposing the more pervasive pattern the everyday person is subjected to. I'm exposing general "Whiteness" for what it is. It is without a doubt, the central ingredient which the Zionists use to condition society. Every other aspect of the racist paradigm (including the facts which you bring) revolve around "Whiteness" -- which is in itself, a product of European Imperialism that can be traced back to racist Christianity / Judaism, and perhaps even further. You are only pointing one or two things that indicates that Gentile "Whites" are undermined by the Zionist media. Although that is true in some ways, it is not true in most ways. In MOST ways (as the research in this thread clearly proves), it is the Non-"White" society that is being undermined. Please do not pretend for one second that Gentile "Whites" have it worse than Non-"Whites when it comes to the overall Zionist media subterfuge.

debus wrote:
Jews love playing one race off another.


Why are you trying to point this out to me? I'm the one who is pointing that out by making this thread in the first place; by exposing the pervasive Zionist Media patterns. You see when you attempt to express that point to me, you are basically insinuating tacitly to the audience that I am defending the Zionists. Please don't play dirty spin tactics here. I expected better from you, Debus.

You can't talk about racism in the media unless you talk about the role of Jews who control it.


I did talk about the Zionists. I exposed them in the White Media section. Here is that exact expose:

Quote:
So who exactly are those "elites" which Yale briefly mentions? Answer: they are the Zionists who control the global corporate media:

Zionist control of the media:

Related research:

Before you accuse me of not exposing the Zionists, please attempt to read EVERY DETAIL of my posts. If you are not willing to read everything, then it is best to remain silent. Otherwise, you start making ridiculous false statements that only try to undermine this thread -- a thread I worked very hard for.

debus wrote:
Blacks ARE violent.


That's not true. They are stereotyped (by the Zionist media) as violent, therefore many of them identify subconcsiously with those stereotypes. These are called Stereotype Threats. I addressed this partuclar issue in the The White Media section: Here it is again:

Quote:
As more and more of these patterns are repeated over and over again, the subconscious minds of the audience members become increasingly conditioned by those images. Remember what I said earlier; the subconscious mind always tends to gravitate around that which is most common. In other words, repetition is the most basic form of propaganda for it is the one brainwashing method which the subconscious mind is most susceptible to.

Research done by the University of Miami states the following:

Besides acknowledging the fact that television media often offers negative stereotypical portrayals of individuals belonging to certain racial and/or ethnic groups such as African-Americans and homosexuals, social psychology goes further by examining the direct implications of these mostly negative images. One of these implications is the notion of stereotype threat, the risk of confirming a negative stereotype about one’s group as self characteristic. As an individual is constantly exposed to negative images of his/her racial or ethnic group, this person begins to internalize the same social and personal characteristics of these images.

Primitive? The brains of "Blacks" are primitive? Ok, now I lost any respect for you. I'm convinced you are a racist. Perhaps you aren't as intelligent as I gave you credit for. Don't expect me to stoop to your low level of reasoning. I'm done with you and all of your foolish repetitive responses. You have now been properly countered and discredited. Now be quiet, you are wasting my valuable time.

debus wrote:
Yeah, I know what people are going to say, it's because even blacks have been brainwashed by constant images of violent blacks in the media, but that doesn't explain how blacks got that reputation in the first place; could it be that blacks on average ARE more violent than other races?


Now you're just apologizing for the Zionist media. You are downplaying their Stereotype Threats and brainwashing tactics. There are numerous verified tests / experiments that have solidified the case for media brainwashing and the social ramifications that come as a result of that. There is also a ton of research that backs said argument as well.

I hate to break it to you Debus, but your true character has been exposed in this thread. Anything you have to say from this point onwards is tainted with racist overtones. Don't expect any rational person to take your "opinion" very seriously. You may get lucky every now and then with some support. But seriously, do you think you have a credible shot after you completely self-destructed right before the public's eyes? The debate is not looking good for you. Nope, not at all. Laughing

You know I could enjoy this and use you as a clear example of the racism existing today. But that would be just too easy and quite a sideshow in this debate now would it? I'm done with you and have really nothing more to say or prove to a racist character like you. Who do you work for, Debus? Just a thought.

PS, sorry for the little rant everyone (and MT). I am a bit irritated with Debus' racist comments; when he called "Blacks" primitive. I don't consider my brain "primitive". And I'm not a violent person. Though there was this one time I beat the hell out of this worhtless piece of (insert word that is synonymous to fecal matter here).....joke. Razz

Regards.

If you had read the report I linked to you would see that whites reacted in the same way, in the 'primitive part' of their brain. Everyone has a primitive part in their brains: the hippocampus or whatever it's called, I forgot the proper name and used 'primitive' instead.

Your reaction shows how ready you are to read racism into anything.

Don't kid yourself Debus. It's not just the "Primitive" comment that proved you are a racist. You called my people "violent". That is typical racist mentality on your part. The "Primitive" comment is highly suspect, but that wasn't the cause of my rant. I was joking about that actually. However, the use of the word "Primitive" has been notorious for being a racist comment directed towards "Blacks".
Code:
http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php/did-white-people-make-black-283928.html
Stormfront users (and "White" Supremacists in general) make a habit of claiming / and tacitly implying that "Black" people are "Primitive". If you were not a racist, you would not have used that word in relation to "Black" people, especially in a thread that exposes racism. If you meant to use that as a scientific term (and it can be), you would have had the awareness to know that this thread isn't primarily about Science. Besides, your case about the "Primitive" part of the brain is irrelevant to this topic. COMPLETELY. Why did you have to go there?

If your intent was to derail this thread (for whatever hidden reasons you may have), you have done a successful job at it. You can congratulate yourself for now. But don't expect people to respect you afterwards. I'm also against censorship of racism. So please, enjoy yourself. 8-)
