Black and White Americans in the 40s thought that they were the freest people in the world. To many it didn't make sense for White Americans to think that but it definitely didn't make sense for Black Americans to think that, until you realize that media can control your thoughts because, as we know, we are limited by our senses and inundating our senses with falsehoods and injustices will corrupt our sense of truth and justice. Is that an unreasonable concept to you?
What is the source of your information?
My Black parents and others like them in their community DEFINITELY didn't think the way you claim! You want to know how I KNOW this? I was there! I lived in their house and heard the conversations. I was born and raised under Jim Crow and there was no Black person in MY community that thought the way you claim. Are you SERIOUS!?!
You're starting to make reckless statements with no sound basis of fact to support them. Why do you continuously try to demean the intelligence of our people? You're talking about our ancestors and that includes my parents and other people's parents who you can't speak for. Please, PROVE to me that Black Americans in the 40s thought they were the freest people in the world! Stop generalizing and provide us with FACTS. And guess what? Even IF some did, they don't represent my reality.
People here aren't stupid and your reckless claims insult our intelligence. We understand the impact and influence of the media, what you state about it is not NEWS. Some of us just don't agree with the points you are making on this particular TOPIC. If you've exhausted all of your arguments about this, maybe it's time to be silent.
