Talking Black Podcast With Charles Woods - The Simianization of Blacks in Media (9/15/2021) | Replay

[@darrenbannister6087]

Great point regarding Denzel Washington..He wasn’t rewarded with the Oscar for being a thinker as Malcolm X . But received accolades for being a bad cop..This reminds me of Marvin Gaye who made great music reflecting society at that time, What’s Going On, Save the Children, Mercy Me and he gets a Grammy for swinging his hips and singing Sexual Healing. Images are important

[@almaarnold7332]

​@kinidiosodlosios6892 why do we always have to get a pat on the head from those who want to see us as less. We need to let our fellow oppressed give us our accolades. They don't like us, do our own thing.

[@deangelostarnes1795]

I did an independent legal study in law school on this topic back in 1991. This discussion inspires me to go back in revise and update it. Particularly the specific cinematic examples. I could marry those images with the passive ingestion process/effect that the book, The Four Arguments For The Elimination of Television talked about (which I used to make my point).

No personalities, walking around looking and acting hateful. don't act friendly when they work in the stores. then we'll say ( they trying to make us look bad. !!! we are doing to ourselves.

Great podcast! Woods hit the nail on the head! He understands the indoctrination, colorism, and the menticide that exists in the black community.

[@almaarnold7332]

What Charles Wood has said about our different views not dividing us is correct. We can differ but because we suffer as a collective we need to come together and put aside our differences when necessary. Malcolm x said this in one of spaces when he spoke of differences in religion. He said they are not coming against you because you are a Muslim, or a baptist and so on and but because uou are black.

Under the guise of jokes (a security blanket), we continue to disparage and marginalize one another. (I.e. Yo mama so black… )There are educated black radio hosts justifying that black racial jokes should be allowed in our so-called black governance structure. How can we expect others to change if we don’t change ourselves first.

This is very easy to break down, The reason this had to black people especially darker ones are, they never gave us the 40 acres and the mule, so we don't have no money, then they flash things before your eyes that cost.

Started out great then mid-way he began back paddling. You are incorrect, we are a special people and special attention is given to oppress us and dehumanizing our character. Irish as all other victims were given reparations and to minimize the tragedy of breaking a nation is self dehumanizing. You have become your adversary

[@charleswoods9809]

Toria Anderson: Thank you for tuning in. We appreciate the support of our viewers. I will not deny that you are correct when you state that I was doing some back paddling. After the constant historical investigation into the origins of racism, my conclusion is that the belief of one group of people being more "special" than another group is at the root of ethnocentrism and genocide. So, when I am discussing racism in the media, I am conflicted and guarded. I do not want to inarticulately express an idea that is contrary to my belief that people are people. An individual's behavior and character are not determined by his or her being a member of a particular group. I do not doubt that we are special people in a collective sense. However, we must be careful not to allow our need for self-esteem and self-worth to become a gateway to accepting concepts based on an ideology of group superiority and specialness. This is what inspired the concepts of "Social Darwinism", "Race", "Manifest Destiny", "The White Man's Burden", and the "Eugenics Movement". I was inspired by the teachings and mentorship of Dr. Ivan Van Sertima. He made every attempt to conduct his studies objectively. He wanted to prove that Black Africans contributed significantly to civilization's progress. He wanted to reveal how Blacks were some of the earliest pioneers in the fields of science, medicine, and mathematics. And contrary to widespread anti-Black propaganda of the past (and present), he unveiled empirical evidence that dispelled the notion of Black inferiority. However, Dr. Van Sertima was not trying to prove African superiority. He was not a racial chauvinist. He just presented the facts. And facts don't care about people. That's where my head is at. I have had some experiences that have taught me some hard lessons about the issue of race. The construct of race has plagued us for centuries. It is complex. It is multi-layered. And it requires an honest and respectful discussion. Once again, thank you for sharing your time with ReelBlack. I hope you will hang in there with us and possibly help us to grow. It is our goal to make ReelBlack a channel where one may get information that is worthy of their time and engagement. Be safe. Be well. Peace and Blessings!

You would be hard pressed to find a Kenyan who would identify themselves first as a black person rather than as a Kenyan person. President Obama was not raised by black people, he did not attend school with black people and he doesn't fit the definition of a black person in America. Furthermore he did nothing of significance for black people in America. His "black" experience in America was the exception to the rule and mirrored more closely the experience of a African immigrant rather than a African American. He's a Kenyan American not a African American. I know black is black to white people but I can assure you that a distinction is made amongst the dark skinned people of Africa and beyond however you're right in the sense that it doesn't always have to do with the color of ones skin.

Hi all, what you are saying is obvious however, I was never taught to be racist but some people were taught that. Neither one of my parents held racist beliefs only watch what people do and protect yourself among everyone. They did not condone leaders in any form nor family members. I saw racist practices as I lived in the systems that were provided here. Blacks have discriminated against me as well as any other race. These truths about history were covertly understood but not taught anywhere I was. In college, the teaching was slanted towards the beliefs of the teachers. I find this true today. Anything can be bent for the audiences and the ability to control those people. Finance is always at the bottom of abuse in most circumstances that people face.
