The Modern Racist Paradigm
This is a well researched documentary that exposes the White Media's long-term agenda to standardize Caucasian people as the social norm for general society.
Through the globalization and centralization of the White media and its constant propagation of repetitive images depicting Caucasians in positive roles and as protagonists while usually depicting Non-Caucasians as background characters and antagonists - which are often connected to negative themes and stereotypes - the media elite have been able to effectively condition general society into subconsciously adhering to a racist social hierarchy in which Caucasian people are at the very apex.
The documentary addresses many modern-day internalized racist psychological dispositions (subconscious forms of internalized racism) which are unknowingly passed down from generation to generation due to the globalization and pervasiveness of Whiteness a cultural assimilation process of which, is directly derivative to historical European expansionism, colonialism, and imperialism.
some really good stuff in here. as a child i never realized Aladdin was so racist. so true that the media controls our opinions
Not bad until the comment about "The White Zionist Paradigm." Leave your Jew hating out of it!
I'm white, spent the first 32 years of my life in North Long Beach, grew amongst and naturally into black American culture, was attacked by whites for being a "n***** lover" throughout my teens, attacked by blacks, mexicans and asians who didn't know me for being white in North Long Beach and assaulted by mexican LBPD officers for being a "wannabe mayate" (whatever the spelling is). Seems to me there are white people out there continuously victimized over race despite acting the right way their whole life. Spreading BULL**** hyperbole of white racism this, white entitlement that, as if no one with white skin was ever anything other than a villain is the true "construct" here and it damn sure wasn't perpetrated by a caucasian. I challenge you all to do some research, for the sake of humanity, lest the MORON MAJORITY _continue_ to allow control via division, perpetrated by the true enemy: the MULTI RACIAL, multi national 1%
Propaganda. Propaganda everywhere.
I am white and have traveled extensively all over the world. As far as I see ALL the human race in racist to some degree or another.I don't mean just black or white, but whithin Africa itself there is a tribal mentality, which I see just as bad, depending which tribe you happened to be born into.India has the caste system.South easy asians are prejudiced too.I know It's wrong and I for one have black and Asian friends and would be the last person to be racists in any form, but we have to face up to it.I have been treated very differently in Africa because I am white so it goes both ways I am afraid.
I'm of african heritage ( but I've lived in different countries in my life, mainly in Europe) and like to be honest, the whole "race" thing is *tupid in my opinion. I've found in my experience that it's mainly only americans and other africans (I don't use the terms 'black' or 'white' because i find them to be dehumanizing and s*upid) outside of the continent of Africa that are like racist. but not like fully fledged but just in the way they view things and from what they say you can sort of see their underlying racial view points. the africans being racist I find is through their looking at their role models whom are normally "african-americans" and they're racist (not all but the majority have that mentality wired in from a very young age) which they then learn. but yeah, that's just my own personal experience. but I find it stupid though, people who describe themselves by colours and associate with colours are just furthering "the divide". if we all just described one another by our heritage, or culture, or hobbies, or what we like and dislike everything would be better. And also not try to box people into a set image. And also, I find that American society is really the one that has been spearheading this whole racial campaign which is slowly infecting the world due to hollywood and america's influennce over the globe.but yeah....i didn't watch the documentary, just wanted to air my opinion.
I thought this was slow, low quality, under researched and had no story to follow. The long excerpts to read were cumbersome and just proved that there was no flow or story, and therefore there needed clarification and direction by way of overly long texts. The idea and the issues are extremely important, but this documentary did not do these issues justice.
didn't like the commentaries in between. Guy fails to realize that white men are also choosing to be with Asians. Dating outside your race has been taboo in most every culture at some point or another. also the comment that we are conditioned to forget history so we can remain guiltless. Well, i didn't participate in history when i wasn't alive. I do want to learn more, but I will not feel guilty for other decisions in the past, I have my own things to get right and f--k up that I can be proud or guilty about. I don't need every generations shittiness on my shoulders.
At 5:20 I disagree with "the best way to defend racism is to ignore it." The best way to get rid of this idea of separate groups based on their color, is to quit fueling it. Stop classifying people as though they were separate groups of people.
People are discriminated against for being a little different. And there could be many ways to address this, but ultimately it requires a new mind set. Quit seeing people as different because of physical attributes. Maybe quit watching TV as well. I would estimate that 99% of this modern racism is due to mainstream television stations, programs, and especially the news.
And by the way, you think it's hard being a black person growing up in America? Try being half Iranian, freshman year of high school, and a bunch of middle eastern terrorists fly two planes into the twin towers. Everybody knew I was middle eastern, and leading up to then, there wasn't much ripping on the middle eastern people, save for the occasional darker skin differentiating, so when 9/11 happened, there were no boundaries. Black people in my schools growing up just didn't get made fun of or stereotyped. Because at that point, it wasn't okay, there were rules/standards that us children were brought up by, so it was politically incorrect to make fun of black people openly. But when 9/11 happened, there were no rules concerning middle easterners. I know for a fact that I've been called "sand n1gger" and "towel head" to my face, by complete strangers, more times than all black people reading this combined. You think you know persecution, we have a black president for f*ck's sake, wake the fu*k up you racism perpetuating propagandist!
Funny...with all the little 'Fun Facts' in the beginning of this documentary about how basically the white man controls and has a say in everything, why don't they put up there, "oh and by the way, this country is made up of 72% white people"? LOL......
How many racist in this thread !! If the black persons invented or achieved 50 % of what white people did it would be strange that white is a standard. Because everything that you see around yourself is achievement of the "white" people, it is normal that Caucasians are social norm.
How can you not take a documentary seriously that interjects words like 'wiggers' and uses Tyra Banks and The Happy Hooker Goes To Hollywood as references?
When Caucasians undergo plastic surgery, which ethnicity are they trying to become? Wanting bigger eyes or an uplifted nose doesn't mean you want to be white.
Why is it that from the third segment onward this documentary stops placing selected quotes in between segments complete with their sources, and begins simply giving us exaggerated commentary? It started off good, but then instead of offering any sort of solution or call to action, they simply keep pointing the finger at the evil white man and call it a day.
In my cultural ethics class we ran the test with the Black Good first and the results were different. We were thrown off by the reversal of which button was Good and we scored more towards black preference.
*asian girls, not asian curls. Whoops.
I don't think it's racism= in the definition we use. But neither is ii a result of multiculturalism, because multiculturalism implies equality in everything, absolutely everything and that simply doesn't exist. I mean, everything is completely homogenised now, everyone wants to look the same. I'm white coming from ireland where the vast majority of people are white, but I've noticed it, in magazines and the radio and television. Ok, maybe in ireland, there just isn't a culture of multiculturalism, but I'm also factoring in american and british media. white people are always the main actors in films, or the main models or whatever, and there's a condescending attitude when someone who's black or asian or whatever in as an actor or whatever , it's self congratulatory and most of them fit stereotypical roles. And were black girls straightening their hair , or asian curls curling their hair be a result of multiculturalism, then white girls would be twisting their hair into afro's and wishing they had dark asian eyes; no rather it is a reslt of homogeny, a homogeny where white is the chosen uniform. Race is outdated, it was scentifically disproved in the seventies, and I don't like using the term black or white or whatever, it's an us and them. We are all just differing shades of human, I mean, we all vary on one colour. I'm "white", and I'm very very pale, other "white" people are freckled etc. how do you define someone from black to white? and more importantly, why do we have to define people? "British asian, Irish woman, afro american etc?" why can't we just accept people without asking them to renounce their history, their culture? Multiculturalism is more than homogeny. I'm sorry this is very rambling.
This is not a result of racism. This is a result of diversity and multi-culturalism. Plain and simple.
This is silliness and whomever made this is focused way too much on race.
There is no question we all want to fit in but this is because we are such social animals and yes this affects people. I also agree with the traditional images shown by the media but this is changing. It wont be long before Caucasians are a minority in America but they have historically been the majority (one in 10 people in America is African-American -that is the same amount of people as are over age 65 and both groups are increasing).
What the maker of this doc needs to learn is that there is No such thing as race. Not the way u'r using it anyway/ What we call the different races has to do with how the human body responds to different environments after thousands of generations. We all came out of Africa 150k & 60k years ago...and we are ALL very closely related. In fact no two of us are farther apart than 50th cousins and the greatest genetic diversity is found in Africa. If a meteor hit the planet tomorrow and killed everyone but a small tribe living in the jungles of New guinea this small close knit group would still preserve 80% of all human genetic variability.
The test on part four was incredibly stupid.
i wish nobody cared about race! Racism and discrimination ruins so many things...why is it so hard for us humans to get past that...you don't see dogs judging eachother by the colour of their fur now do you? This documentary was very informative however...its good to bring things to the surface so that it may be dealth with instead of keeping things unresolved and taboo but remember there are also other important things to worry about like disease, famine, death...etc (we all bleed red! if colour is so important in a society...)
PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT CREED, RACE OR RELIGION :)
In my experience, black people are far more prejudiced than white people now. But it seems to be accepted and tolerated, which is NOT fair. If a black person were to walk down the street with a t-shirt that said, "Black Pride" no one would think twice about it really. But turn that around to a white person with a "white pride" t-shirt on and OMG...they're just a terrible racist! Hmmm...How is that fair? I'm sorry...but I have every right to be just as proud of my white Caucasian heritage as they do their black African heritage. I don't feel one bit bad about it either!!!
Unoriginal, cut and pasted, and overall: nothing I haven't heard before. I mean, using CNN polls? c'mon.
the proof for me is the outcome, every point can be proved or dis proof, by wat u black ppl think of yall selves, and wat value do u c reflected back at u in the media, think of your last image of a black female, thts not O.WINFERY, THAT WAS POSITIVE, BEAUTIFUL & sexy wit darkskin?
