You don’t have to be a racist or even Caucasian to engage in racist practices. Those in the integrated news media may be surprised to learn the key role they are playing wittingly or unwittingly in the unsolved race and social justice problem. “The Big Cover-Up” video (below) provides an opportunity for one to see how they may have knowingly or unknowingly participated in this longstanding news media racist practice.
It was ironic to see Joe Scarborough, Willie Geist, and Mica Brzezinski yucking it up at Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau apologizing for a youthful blackface indiscretion that occured years ago. Let’s remember that black folks in Virginia weren’t as worked up about the Governor’s blackface as those white folks in the news media. The irony is all three of these MSNBC hosts are among the members of the news media who all wittingly or unwittingly participated in a far worse racist offense against President Obama that is exposed in “The Big Cover-Up” video. The video is also featured in what we see as a perfect self awareness test for white Americans and black Americans. A racist analysis for white Americans and a “Stockholm Syndrome” analysis for black Americans.
Here’s how we see the analysis working for black and white Americans. It’s unique in that one self analysis fits all. This is a personal self-review. You get to determine your own basic reaction in your head and heart, which only you know.
Same questions for both races. After watching “The Big Cover-Up” video. (1) Are you repulsed by what you see in the video? (2) Are you indifferent? (3) Do you see this as no big thing? (4)Finally, do you feel compelled to support the establishment of an all-inclusive national news media operation that will address this racist news media editorial practice that’s been exposed in “The Big Cover-Up” video?
The video documents an incident involving racist injustice engaged in by both black and white cops and black and white news people that happened during the first year of the Obama administration. That means as a news person, you get to reflect on how you responded to the incident at the time and how you respond to the “The Big Cover-Up” video after seeing what it reveals. Finally, unlike back then, if you feel the urge to address the problem exposed in the video, the opportunity is presented here.
THE BACK STORY BEHIND “THE RACIST ANALYSIS AND STOCKHOLM SYNDROME ANALYSIS”
What prompted the idea of a “Stockholm Syndrome” and “Racist analysis test” is the result of a conversation I had with an editor, who is Caucasian maried to a black retired military officer, and is sympathetic to the race and social justice cause. She had asked several of her black friends to watch “The Big Cover-Up” video. She told me their response was indifference. I asked, did they actually watch the entire video, which she assured me they did. She was appropriately offended when she originally saw the news media’s racist practices revealed in the video. However, she seemed to suggest that since her black friends weren’t offended in what they saw that maybe it wasn’t such a big thing.
NOT ALL SLAVES WELCOMED THE UNION TROOPS
That exchange with a former Caucasian editor, prompted me to recognize “The Big Cover-Up” video as the perfect device to check the individual dispositions and sentiments of black and white Americans
toward clear examples of the police and press knowingly engaged in their racist complicity in action. Plus it was recent enough for everyone to remember.
My editor friend, like a lot of Americans, needs to realize that “not all slaves welcomed the Union troops.” One can always find individual blacks accepting of racist practices. With integration comes mixed agendas among black folks. There are Clarence Thomas’s all over the place. The video shows how the integrated police and press are at the root of the unsolved race and social justice problem.
It’s apparent that there is little these individuals in the profession can do to change things.
The only remedy is what we are pursuing, which is to establish an all-inclusive independent integrated national new media operation with this enlightened editorial approach that addresses this racist practice first hand by introducing news media accountability where it has never been. Specifically we are talking about a 24-7 national cable news television network and a 24-7 on-line news magazine is the most effective solution to the unsolved race and social justice problem. Fortunately, there is an obvious solution, put in place what’s been missing.
