The media is powerful. Scientifically, it can be explained by the fact that televisions & phones release alpha waves that “program” our minds in hypnotic ways. Culturally, it can be explained by the fact that we spend the majority of our time on our phones and in front of the tv screen making what we consume from these outlets so easy to accepted as truth.
The media created the myth or idea that the black american family is divided which is causing black youth and children to be less privileged compared to other ethnicities. I’m not jacking it.
If you don’t tell your story, someone else will. We have to tell the narrate the black experience ourselves or the media will control how we are perceived worldwide.
