Has anyone else noticed this? Whenever I read a post in which some liberal complains about "white people did this" and "white people did that", it's always a white person who is saying that. They never seem to admit that they themselves are a white person.
Do liberals have a special privilege that excludes them being held accountable for their own whiteness?
By denying the fact that they're white themselves, do they get some special consideration or a pardon or something? Is this some kind of peer pressure or something?
I don't get it. The liberal mind is such a mystery to me sometimes.
I believe there are a number of reasons for this phenomenon, first and foremost being the effect of long-term
subliminal inculcation (brainwash).
It took a while for the social effect of television to be academically acknowledged, but in his 1960s classic book,
The Medium Is The Massage, Marshall McLuhan revealed the influence which tv already had on various aspects of public life and he went on to very accurately predict the profound effect it would have in our future. If there was any doubt about the power of television to influence behavior on a mass level the amazing success of the advertising industry from the mid-1960s to the present has put it to rest. The point being that television, over time, has a clearly demonstrated hypnotic effect on the vast majority of humans -- including many of those who offhandedly reject the notion that their behavior is being influenced by electronically induced thoughts.
While the psychological mechanism of television's mesmerizing influence is examined in depth in a number of academic textbooks, for the purpose of this discussion it is sufficient to know that the key factor in television's ability to alter individual mindset and to substantially influence mass thinking and behavior is
thematic repetition, which simply stated means imposition of the same concept occurring repeatedly over time in various forms but with the same basic meaning.
Both the news and the entertainment media, in all their forms, carefully avoid presenting Blacks in any but the most favorable light. With very few exceptions Blacks are cast either as victims or as heroes. More recently there has been an increasing tendency by the entertainment and the advertising media to present images of happy, well-adjusted, middle-class inter-racial couples, typically Black male/White female, as if this configuration were the social norm. Rarely is the reverse coupling shown. Whenever a villainous character is portrayed in a fictional drama that character is almost always White, the subliminal suggestion being White = bad, therefore Black = good.
These customary depictions of Black = good and White = bad have been common media presentations for so long that the glaring bias has become the accepted norm and for the most part is ignored. But according to Marshall McCluhan and every professional psychologist and concerned intellectual who has bothered to study and identify the effect it has on most people, there is no question that this kind of repetitious denigration of Whites and eulogizing of Blacks will understandably invoke feelings of guilt in Whites and incite hatred in Blacks.
There is no question that in terms of racial discord the American public has been effectively brainwashed.
