ABOUT NEW JACK CITY AND WHITE SUPREMACY

I'd like to see them start making movies reflecting Black manhood as being brilliant instead of swaggerin' and murderous for a change. Not only do we seem to only be swaggerin' and murderous enough to kill one another, but in the end, we never seem to be bad enough to avoid getting our brains out by rogue cops.
.
While we claim to be “woke”, how many other groups consider buying popcorn and watching their people getting their brains blown out as entertainment? Not many, I assure you. So, it seems to me that it’s about time we start teaching our kids something new. What do you think?

In response to one brother’s contention that Blaxploitation movies are just

movies, what many less than thoughtful Black people don’t seem to get is these are not just movies, they're 2-hour commercials that are designed to drive home an image of who and what Black people represent. Contrary to what many believe, such movies are not designed strictly for entertainment, but are actually on a dead serious mission of indoctrinating you, your children, and the world’s vision of “your place” in society. They not only make it easier for the police to blow your brains out on the street, but easier for jurors to find them “not guilt” after they do so, because all many people know about Black people is what they see in on television and in the movies. So when they think about us, they don't think of innocent Black people minding their own business, they think of gangsters, dope dealers and murders.
.
If White people were portrayed in the same way as Black people in the media, we’d think that all White folks were barefoot Hillbillies. That’s why whenever you look at a movie – ANY MOVIE - it will ALWAYS show the White man on top, or the leader, and the Black man is portrayed as either a sidekick, a fool, or an idiot of some sort. There’s a very simple reason for that - because movies are designed to ram the White man’s view of reality down society’s throat. It’s the glue that holds society together. It’s called sublimation, and it’s one of the strongest and most effective weapons of White supremacy.
.
Such movies make it "our place" to get our brains blown out, so society is

inured to it. Thus, when a Black man is choked to death by the police on the street in broad daylight for selling cigarettes to help support his family, or a Black woman ends up dead after a traffic stop for smoking a cigarette in her own car, or a Black man is intruded upon in his own apartment and shot dead by a cop while enjoying a bowl of ice cream - and then the cop's only defense is, "Oops, I thought it was my apartment. Sorry 'bout that - society's attitude is, "Yeah, that's a ridiculous reason to die, but it was only a Black person, so that's no reason to completely destroy a normally law abiding White person's life. It's a Black person's place to die tragic deaths. It's not like they're actually human. Just watch any video or television show. Their family won't even miss 'em." That's why when former Dallas police officer, Amber Guyger, barged into Botham Jean's apartment's and shot him dead, even the judge and Botham's family treated her like she was the victim after a jury composed of 10 nonwhites sentenced her to 10 years. If it had been a White jury she would have been celebrating on the beach like George Zimmerman.
.
So, situations such as this should alert the Black community of the need to think, and not simply go along with what many perceive as just harmless fun, because that "harmless fun" is profiling Black people - all Black people - and it's being done with our able and enthusiastic assistance. They're using the Black man's need to be seen as bad to destroy us. They don't call such movies "Blaxploitation movies" for nothing. They're exploiting us. Again, they're not only using our need to go for bad to make money, but it also makes it that much easier to kill us with impunity. So what motivates this White supremacists society to allow us to portray ourselves in the way we do is far from harmless. Watching Black people dying in the street - and in their own apartments - is far from harmless fun. And going out of our way to portray ourselves as swaggerin' and cool is not manly at all - it's foolish. Being a responsible parent and helping to develop the minds of your children is manly.
.
So it's time for Black people to wakeup and make knowledge, political clout, and achievement the new soul. Struttin' around and swaggerin' is just a childish show. A real man is one who has the power and common sense to prevent his people from being victimized and exploited.
