I don’t watch television. Matter of fact, I haven’t owned a TV in 3 years, so when I happened to watch a program the other day while waiting in a lobby, I became even more aware of how commercials and advertising consciously and purposely seek to make people (men, women, blacks, whites, cultures, groups) feel insecure, inadequate, inferior, and never good enough so that they can buy a product to FIX a perceived problem that advertised company manufactured.  It’s hard to notice when you an avid TV watcher. You become immune to the subliminal messages designed to get you to feel less than, so you buy into it and no one is immune or exempt from this.

I then started to think about how much the psyche of the African/Black person is preyed upon in the United States. As an African woman, I truly feel targeted. I feel there is an agenda that’s set out to make the people of African descent feel less than, inferior and inadequate compared to other races.   I feel that any institution that seeks to compare blacks to whites as it relates to health, money, culture, values and way of life is simply being rude and disrespectful and is consciously and purposely creating a divisive strategy and complex between the two groups. When institutions do this, i.e. research, health, medicine, etc., I can no longer find their information credible and trustworthy. I speculate that an agenda from the top has set out to do this and uses research, statistics and findings to make sure that what they are instructed to do (create an inferiority complex, low self-esteem and confidence) is accomplished.

In the video below I share my thoughts and feelings about this and why comparing blacks to whites does not make sense, especially in a such a diverse environment. I feel the U.S. needs to take into account that this country is no longer divided between black and white and that we live in a culture of subgroups with different value systems and lifestyles that must be respected and embraced.  In the meantime, confidence is needed to guard against these malicious intents.
