THE COPS AND THE MEDIA ARE MASTERS OF THE SUBTLE BUT DEVASTATING MANIPULATION TACTICS



THE COPS AND THE MEDIA ARE MASTERS OF THE SUBTLE BUT DEVASTATING MANIPULATION TACTICS


The cops and the media are masters of the subtle but devastating manipulation tactics.

It’s how they got a majority of us believing that Trayvon pulled some fancy martial arts moves from just watching it on TV.

It’s how we still say that Garner was murdered for selling loosies when there were no loose cigarettes found in his car or on his person.

(Forensics now saying that Garner was not choked at all is a very advanced tactic on their part. They say this to upset us and control the narrative, where we say no he was choked but we don’t say that we need to fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres.

First they hit us with the denial that racism is taking place and then they flood us with stories of actual racism as if to say “What are you gonna do about it?“

They want us to despair, act out and/or riot so that they can say, “You see! You see!“

Or they want us to be docile as we and our CHILDREN regularly go to the slaughter.

There are countless examples of this from their firing Shiping Bao, the Chinese coroner who showed Trayvon could not have engaged in any ground n pound

to them suing Marilyn Mosby for actually doing her job and prosecuting the white cops for murdering Freddie Gray.

It’s also how they started us talking about better training by the police for mental illness when Sandra Bland’s 6 foot frame was found hanging from a 5 foot post with defensive forms on her arms which they tried their best to label a suicide.

(Assata Shakur wrote about how prison lynchings by guards that were labeled suicides was not uncommon).

Or how they got to saying “Jussie, Jussie” in the court of public opinion when in the real court ALL charges were dismissed.

Again, they take his community service that he always does and trick us by making it a stipulation for charges being dismissed.

They take the money that he put up as bond and trick us into believing that it’s a sign of his guilt when really it’s thievery.

(A bond is collateral in case he tries to flee. The injustice of that alone is another topic we need to get into. See Kalief Browder).

But if they choose to take the bond that’s in their clutches already, what is he gonna do? Take it back?!?

This is a land where cops can give us a beatdown and call it assault when our blood splatters on their uniform.

They accuse him in the media as a means of saving face for their bogus evidence – that’s what the racist feds pretty much said; not me.

They also attack the Black DA, calling for her to resign and accuse her of some type of collusion. Where have we seen that before? Oh yeah… Just a couple of paragraphs earlier!

And finally we come to the biggie: Duh, duh, duh! The confessions and the dreaded check (not one but two smoking guns)

where Jussie paid $3,500 in a personal check for ab workouts when the brothers usually charge from $20 to 50 per lesson.

The check part is ridiculously simple:

When celebs hire you to work with them, they pay on a celebrity scale - not yours.

When Wil Smith hired Maurice Ashley to give his family chess lessons, he flew him out to Cali from NYC and I guarantee you that he didn’t pay Maurice’s usual fee plus expenses!

But the media will keep hammering and hammering and  without any narrative of our own rebutting all of these bogus claims which they try to call ‘evidence’, we believe them.

Our media will do what I have been doing. Pointing out the previous tactics and inconsistencies at every turn.

And since we don’t have a voice that does that, we really don’t have a media!

Now when it comes to their confessions, we’ve seen this before!

The Central Park 5 (4 of them anyway) confessed to a crime that they didn’t do under duress and then later recanted.

Of course by then it was too late. Coercion in NYC at least, wasn’t common knowledge like it is today so we just took it as they didn’t like the sentencing for their crime and tried to back out.

We didn’t know back then. But we know better now; don’t we?!? Don’t we?!?

The trainers denied all allegations until CPD sweated them for 48 hours. Then when they confessed to the crime, they were let go?

How does that even make sense?!?

Plus they said that the trainers were not promised anything for confessing but they’re in the wind?!?

And here’s the really tricky part: They get their FORMER public defender lawyer to relay that they confessed to the crime...eventually.

But everyone knows on all sides that these coerced confessions would not stand up in court and so we play this shell game

for everyone to save face while Jussie‘s reputation is in ruins.

And his friends tell him that he just needs to take his dignity and go because that’s the best you can get in this racist, homophobic world.

What’s he gonna do? Pay his high-priced lawyer (the one who can stage media interviews showing his proclamation of innocence to be consistent throughout)

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...
