Whites still pull Black folk strings

Even in 2017 many Blacks appear to suffer from a Stockholm syndrome type behavior toward whites. According to Dictionary.com, the Stockholm syndrome is an emotional attachment to a captor formed by a hostage as a result of continuous stress, dependence, and need to cooperate for survival. This behavior was illustrated in a speech by Malcolm X.

Malcolm X said, “The modern house Negro loves his master. He wants to live near him. He’ll pay three times as much as the house is worth just to live near his master, and then brag about; “I’m the only Negro out here.  I’m the only one on my job. I’m the only one in this school.” You’re nothing but a house Negro. And if someone comes to you right now and says, “Let’s separate”, you say the same thing that the house Negro said on the plantation, what you mean, separate? From America, [from] this good white man? Where you going to get a better job than you get here? I mean, this is what you say. “I ain’t left nothing in Africa,” that’s what you say. Malcolm X ends, “why; you left your mind in Africa.”

And, through self-serving propaganda, whites are determined to keep the African mind in Africa. As noted propaganda expert, Edward Bernays said, ‘The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.” Therefore, the taste for foul-mouth rap music, malt liquor, hair weaves, and stripper shoes is not a Black thing.

Bernays continues, “We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

Accordingly, white manipulators find it much easier to control confused Black folk. This explains why self-loathing Black men and women reject each other and desire white men and women for validation and acceptance. Additionally, this explains why Black men and women denigrate each other undermining the Black family structure. According to a December 2016, AFRO.com website article, “The percentage of white children under 18 who live with both parents almost doubles that of Black children. While 74.3 percent of all White children below the age of 18 live with both parents, only 38.7 percent of African Americans can say that.”

Joseph Goebbels said, “Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will.”
