Are Black Men & Women Being Divided?

This has been on my mind for a while. It started with me wondering why there is such division between us as men and women. This division is evidenced by the steadily dropping marriage rate, a seemingly across the board change in the way our women view us, and in every facet of the media. It really seems as though the establishment controlled media is actively driving a wedge between us. On television there are already only a few of us but happily married, positive, monogamous couples are nonexistent. Black men are usually portrayed as clownish or resource draining dogs that should be avoided and the so-called reality portrayals are blatantly limited to the negativity seen on the news and talk shows like Maury Povich and Oprah while black women are often shown to prosper independently. That sends a message to women.

The second biggest media culprit has to be radio. It is well known that every radio station has approved play lists. For a while I was under the impression that there was just no diverse music coming out. I was happy to find out that good and diverse music is still out there but disheartened to learn that the artists making this music get no airplay. Why not? Why are all the female anthems out so negative? Pushing us “To The Left” and, outside of the occasional rarity like Keyshia Cole’s Love for example, the only songs showing us love refer to our women wanting thugs like Fantasia’s Hood Boy and Sunshine Anderson’s I’m In Love With A Thug. That’s a message, influence, mind control, and subversive social reprogramming.
