My wife and I have retreated from modern woke propaganda entertainment and gone back to TV from the 1980s. We were watching the gameshow "Super Password," with Bert Convey (circa 1980) and every black person on it was middle class, clean-cut and thorough-goingly normal. I was pleased at how civilized and assimilated they were. These were the archetypes being promoted to the general public. We then watched "The Love Boat" from 1978, and exactly the same thing: African-Americans were portrayed with dignity and respect. They were all written as normal 3-dimensional characters. Had you switched out a black actor for a white actor, the character would have been more or less the same. They were treated as equals. Blacks weren't "cut-outs" for disgruntled Jewish writers, denouncing America, capitalism and the flag. They also weren't portrayed as Klan-caricatures of lusting after white women and calling everyone "Pimp".
It was shocking, watching the difference of how they were portrayed when I was growing up, versus how they're portrayed now.
It really makes me realize how, when the country was run by Saxon Christians, the prospect of a bi-racial nation seemed possible. After the Saxons were deposed and a new . . . let's just say "dual citizen elite" took over . . . blacks were weaponized. Taught to split themselves off from the rest of America, spit on the flag, and lust after white women. They ditched the dignified Bill Cosby "middle class" black archetype and replaced it with a vile gangsta-rap ghetto rat role model. Blacks weren't shown with families or going to church, but smoking weed and twerking. On MTV, we can trace this moment exactly, when Sumner Redstone sent down a memo to ditch rock and roll and to promote r&b and gangsta rap. This shit came straight from the top. And hint: It didn't come from black people.
