  • LOL, I was born in 1981. 26 years and little has changed, there's almost been a backlash of sorts, see the current discussions of all-white fashion runways for example. There are a few tokens on various sitcoms and dramas but by and large tv still doesn't fully reflect the diversity of our nation.

  • You have two examples here. If you look into the music industry, what you will find are glorified thugs. They brought the slang back and helped magnify and intensify the stereotype, something most of these thugs should be ashamed for, but money talks and the got paid well to represent black America. Not only did they send out this stereotype message, they also influenced a good chunk of a generation to glorify being like this.

  • @BlackSapphire8804 prejudice is making a statement without the first hand available information, after the fact is not prejudice. and who is it that forces them at a young age to not go to school. they willingly make their decisions. and by the way if they are oppressed by the white oligarchy as whites are, the thing to do is not assault white working people but go after your oppressors the rich white bankers, insurers, etc etc

  • @BlackSapphire8804 and yet few blacks will talk out about that gangster mentality, other than bill cosby there is nothing but quietude, i certainly realize all blacks don t fall for the mentality but when those who fall through the cracks, you don t make excuses, you remove the vile spoiled goods from the batch as with one sour apple if you fail the whole batch will likewise sour, that s what is happening now

  • @chris532008

    You too are controlled, which is why you make prejudice, generalizing statements like...

    "no one forces blacks to sell drugs to each other, they do that because that is their nature,"

    No.1: no-one forces anyone, but place them in a position where they feel they have to, in order to survive.

    No.2 if it's in our nature we would all be doing it!

    Formulating your opinions of people through absorbing mass deception (Media) creates ignorance & an Inability to think for oneself.

  • @chris532008

    Oh you mean the same Africa that was rich before Europeans invaded.

    The same Africa who's jewls now reside in a bridge in Paris.

    The same Africa that hasn't recovered since it was captured & destroyed by whites.

    If you knew anything about traditional Black Culture you would know that the stereotypes portrayed of us on TV are created by white supremacy.

    Traditional Black culture has nothing to do with Gangsters/ Crime/ Crack...

    Those involved in such are lost.

  • @creaturebotman that is the current plan of the government as it is in their opinion easier to enslave that offspring

  • @BlackSapphire8804 chicken and egg theory, if blacks were right thinking they would not allow outsiders to control them as you seem to claim they do. no one forces blacks to sell drugs to each other, they do that because that is their nature, still in africa today one tribe assaults the other, that s tribal nature we can t change that and probably shouldn t . that s why segregation worked so much better, the differences and objectives of the cultures have little in common

  • @chris532008

    No!

    That's like saying 911 was a terrorist attack because TV says so.

    White supremacy created the stereotypes of Black People to disarm any rise of civil rights. Then out of these stereotypes came black people who let the media pay them, to portray the stereotype that white supremacy created.

    As people began to absorb the ish, the stereotypes began to transform into reality for those who are easily brainwashed.

    You don't see the CIAs corruption portrayed in "Hollywood" do you!

  • Blah blah blah blacks blah blah blah whites dur dur dur dur dur .. For fucks sake. Anyone who dislikes another race is retarded. Anyone who complains about T.V. is an even bigger retard. STOP WATCHING THIS SHIT AND READ A BOOK AND TALK TO THOSE AREOUND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If those who cared stopped watching these shit networks another more biased caring network would have come around. Our mind is our greatest strength as a species but it's also our greatest weaknes

  • @creaturebotman You sound like you needed an excuse. Even a dumb one will do eh?

  • Multiculturalism doesn't work folks - It was a nice attempt but overall a failed experiment.
