OMG! Is this speech from 1965 or 2014????? Listen...Listen...to what is being said. It is incredible how much of what is being said is STILL relevant! Press manipulation of emotions through statistics...police brutality...oppression of the Black community...Blacks being criminalized when standing up from civil rights...government brutality within other countries...African interests/exploitation...propaganda! Eat the meat and throw away the bone, but listen to this speech. There is nothing NEW under the sun! One of the shrewd ways that they use the press to project us in the eye or image of a criminal: they take statistics. And with the press they feed these statistics to the public, primarily the white public. Because there are some well-meaning persons in the white public as well as bad-meaning persons in the white public. And whatever the government is going to do, it always wants the public on its side, whether its the local government, state government, federal government. So they use the press to create images. And at the local level, theyll create an image by feeding statistics to the press -- through the press showing the high crime rate in the Negro community. As soon as this high crime rate is emphasized through the press, then people begin to look upon the Negro community as a community of criminals. And then any Negro in the community can be stopped in the street. Put your hands up, and they pat you down. You might be a doctor, a lawyer, a preacher, or some other kind of Uncle Tom. But despite your professional standing, youll find that youre the same victim as the man whos in the alley. Just because youre Black and you live in a Black community, which has been projected as a community of criminals. This is done. And once the public accepts this image also, it paves the way for a police-state type of activity in the Negro community. They can use any kind of brutal methods to suppress Blacks because theyre criminals anyway. And what has given this image? The press again, by letting the power structure or the racist element in the power structure use them in that way. A very good example was the riots that took place here during the summer: I was in Africa, I read about them over there. If youll notice, they referred to the rioters as vandals, hoodlums, thieves. They tried to make it appear that this wasnt -- they tried to make it -- and they did this. They skillfully took the burden off the society for its failure to correct these negative conditions in the Black community. It took the burden completely off the society and put it right on the community by using the press to make it appear that the looting and all of this was proof that the whole act was nothing but vandals and robbers and thieves, who werent really interested in anything other than that which was negative. And I hear many old, dumb, brainwashed Negroes who parrot the same old party line that the man handed down in his paper. youtu.be/5deiqrP2tdA
