Blacks according to American film and television seems to go something like this:
- There are not many of them – maybe just 6% of America.
- Unlike whites, they do not represent the full range of humanity but just a narrow, screwed-up part of it.
- Blacks are so limited in their behaviour and interests that a dozen Hollywood stereotypes are enough to cover nearly all of them. The rest can be covered by the phrase, “You are not like other blacks”. Hip hop videos and BET prove that the stereotypes are true to life!
- Blacks are mostly poor, live in big cities, listen to hip hop, are disrespectful, have loose morals and speak bad English full of slang.
- Most black people are poor and most poor people are black.
Most black men commit crimes and most crimes are committed by black men. Most therefore wind up in prison at some point. They account for most of the country’s gun violence. They will kill a complete stranger for no good reason.
- Most black women are “ghetto”. They are poor, ill-mannered, loud-mouthed, loose and are baby mamas, having children by different men they never marry.
- Blacks, both male and female, have a hard time controlling their anger.
- Few black women have any true beauty or grace. Most are either fat and ugly or, at best, sexy in a trashy way.
- Black-on-black love is rare.
Black men prefer white and Latina women over black women.
- It is not uncommon for a black person to have a white parent or be mostly white by blood.
- Black success comes mainly through sports, entertainment and crime, not through education and hard work.
- There are not many middle-class blacks. Most of them are noble but boring – and have little or no love life.
- Missing black women are rare compared to missing white women.
- Racism is rare – just a matter of some skinheads. Most of the ills that blacks suffer from come from their own pathologies.
Black political opinion is divided between those who are pretty much happy with the way things are (“black conservatives”) and those who always seem to find something to complain about for no good reason (the “race industry”). There are no independent black views of America that are seriously worth considering.
- The lives of black people are good for a few laughs, but not something that would be serious or interesting in its own right.
- Most Jamaicans are Rastafarians who speak with a fake Jamaican accent.
Africa is a country full of unending tribal violence and cruel, unsmiling rulers who wear sunglasses. It is incapable of peace and civilization without the help of whites – who always seem to be well-meaning and have nothing to do with how screwed up things are.
Black ghettos are full of unending gang violence and cruel, unsmiling drug lords who wear sunglasses. It is incapable of peace and civilization without the help of whites – who always seem to be well-meaning and have nothing to do with how screwed up things are.
