This is a simple computer animated video that is used to deliver a “pro-black” political message. Though many will find the message to be that of racists, it’s also simplistic and takes a giant conspiratorial tone.
The video features a white male character talking to a black female character. The white male character represents all white people and the black female all black people.
The white character tells the black character that white people have decided to give blacks a few pointers on taking over the world. Simply because he had noticed that blacks were having a hard time unifying and gaining real power. He gives the black character three pointers: organize, unify, and stop worshiping a white god.
Here is the video, and below it you can read my commentary.
This video is bound to upset a lot of people — some of whom are racists, and others who are not racists. It’s a simplistic portrayal of a very complicated social dynamic, however, that doesn’t mean there isn’t some truth contained between the hyperbole.
The truth about white privilege is more complicated. It’s so automatic in America that most don’t even believe in it. It’s like air, and this is a natural state that most whites are accustomed to. Most white people don’t believe they are racists, even if they have racist attitudes. Once again it’s a condition of white privilege. It’s going to take generations to address this problem, perhaps even to get most to admit that it even exists.
Is there a secret group of white men ruling the world? A better question is what would convince you there isn’t a secret group of white men ruling the world? Once you believe that, then there is almost nothing that would convince you otherwise. And believing in this secret group does nothing to advance any goals and objectives. If there was a secret group with that much wealth and power, then what realistic steps could be taken to overthrow that power? The logical answer is none. If a group of people have been so successful manipulating the world and staying hidden for generations, then we are basically screwed.
Instead of losing oneself to the rabbit hole of conspiracy, it’s better to focus on what we can do to change the situation of blacks in America, and hopefully around the world. That begins with focus, discipline, and introspection. We have most of the pieces of the puzzle, and we even know where most of them fit. But it will take those attributes to put the puzzle together. We had a black wall street in Tulsa, Oklahoma at one point. We had a “Black Renaissance” in Harlem. These are the things black people need to focus on achieving on a larger scale. The truth is that there are those, mostly white men, who profit from our ignorance and self-hate. But we have to also recognize the power we have to change this, but lets not kid ourselves it will take generations for this to happen.
It took generations for blacks to find themselves in the mess we are today. Are we where we are because of white supremacist policies? Yes. Will blaming and hating white people change any of that? No.
I don’t consider any people? to be my “enemy.” I consider concepts like ignorance and complacency my enemy?and things that?I believe everyone should rally and fight against. This video does contain certain truths that we as black people need to take note of, I’m not going to get into the religious aspect of the video, but it’s worth seriously thinking about. Overall it’s still a racists propaganda video of racists which does contain a lot of real truth. Life is not simple, and neither is this video.
