WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE



WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE

White cops NEVER leak to the press that they’re now investigating specific members (by name) of the Aryan Brotherhood.

When it’s them, the investigation is ALWAYS ongoing.

But when it’s us, they ‘leak’ that Sandra was ‘suicidal’, Cyntoia and Mike Brown and Marissa Alexander were ‘no Angels’,

Korryn was ‘unstable’,

King was a philanderer, Trayvon engaged in ground n pound because he watched ultimate fighting on tv

(or how the media runs with his dad saying that the blood-curdling scream heard on the 911 call of a neighbor was NOT his son.

The last time we heard our son give a piercing scream was when he was slightly colicky at 3months old!).

Or it was leaked that grandma Eleanor Bumpers came at the armed and armored cops with a kitchen knife so they had to shoot during the no-knock raid on the wrong home.

Or the leak that Sean Bell shot at cops first on eve before his wedding day.

Or the leak that Tawana Brawley did it to herself (burnt herself with an iron, and put herself in a trash can covered with feces.

And let’s not forget how the press ‘leaked’ that Walter Scott went for cop Slager’s pistol so he had to shoot him in self defense. The papers and the dept. had already marked it as justified despite the fact forensics should have shown several bullets in the back from at least 10 ft. away.

We KNOW all of this because brave Mr. Santana came forward and wisely gave his video directly to the media.

And we could go on and on.

In the words of Maya Angelou, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them THE FIRST TIME”!

We have no power to steer the narrative on a national or world level except when an idea of ours catches and trends despite their media’s sabotage.

Do you even remember how Zimmermann’s browser history had gay porn sites?

Of course not because that would have created a credible motive for why he stalked a young Black teen when the cops told him to desist, making Zimmermann the only one that evening who DIDN’T comply.

They shut that browser narrative down REAL QUICK!

Let’s not do their job for them. As far as I am concerned, until the victim tells us anything different, we need to be looking for those white haters who beat him up.

They’re probably STILL looking for one the bullet Sean Bell fired at cops before they opened up with a hail ful of bullets at the car filled with Black men!

And should he come out and say otherwise, we should forgive and console.

God knows we’ve forgiven and consoled folk who HATE us and lied on us plenty of times!

The ONLY thing I could tell from the racist lamestream media’s lies is that he clearly didn’t beat up himself.

Because if that were humanly possible, they woulda leaked that too.

They’ve told so many lies that we’ve just swallowed...do you even remember the young man who shot himself in the front of his chest while being handcuffed from behind in the back of a police car?!?

In the words of the late Dick Gregory, “What kind of fool is you?!?”

It’s like there’s some sort of spell preventing folk from seeing the obvious. Either we break the spell or the spell breaks us.

Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

When white folk dump, we can’t get Angry about it

I got angry over a white (almost white) person saying that I’m overreacting. Immediately afterwards, I berated myself, thinking that I should’ve held my cool. But just as we laud those black heroes who articulate the pain rather than express it, we condemn ourselves for feeling what is normal to feel.  Part of colonization says that I have no right to be angry and that my anger is naturally perceived as a threat so it’s in my best interest to hold my tongue. This is not normal. We must break the economic, physical, emotional and spiritual consequences to be true human beings. Otherwise we’re just lying to ourselves. “How dare they get angry over our oppression of them!”

The Kerner Commission of 1968

“Our nation is moving towards two societies: one white, one black — separate and unequal.” - Kerner Commission 1968 And this statement was made 4 years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which was supposed to ‘correct’ the separate and unequal. What we gained from that era is essential: the right to vote, the right to use the same facilities including bathrooms, water fountains, restaurants, libraries and schools. But during that same time, we lost our media and its narrative. Black reporters were needed to report on the Black experience and the white papers paid much better. And when the Black papers went defunct, the Black reporters (in their previous numbers) were no longer necessary. So we had no narrative to guide us into the new era. White establishments were ‘better’ so we abandoned the Black ones.  And most of our businesses dried up along with our ability to employ one another. So now we had to inordinately seek out white establishments (that...

BAN ALL OF THE WHITE GAZE COMMENTS!

BAN ALL OF THE WHITE GAZE COMMENTS! They strain at a gnat yet swallow a camel! Toxic...yet effective! I’ll be gone in January so let me leave a few tips: And if you contend with their banter (right or wrong), the truth of say the Native genocide HORROR gets lost in the sauce. They refuse to lament over the evils of the past and so reflexively, in their denial and dissonance, engage in banter meant to distract. Example: we say that we heard that ‘picnic’ means pick a n**ger to lynch. They’ll quickly chime in that that’s not the word’s etymology. They’re like SNOPES; pretending to be impartial but only (with maybe a few exceptions) chiming in on the negative regarding race. Or they’ll agree with what we’re saying but insist that we label them the exception. NOT YOU, BRADLEY! NOT YOU, VIRGINIA! The HORROR of how they’d accuse an innocent Black man (often a small business owner),  jail them, schedule their public hanging in the paper and have men, women and CHILDREN come out dressed in...
