Politics, Priorities, Pathology and Hope WITHIN The Black Community

“Take Back The Black Community Consciousness". It has been hijacked by embedded operatives who don't intend to develop the COMPETENCIES within. We once controlled this consciousness, focusing our activism directly upon our permanent interests. Today the "Malcolm X Political Football Game" has us as starters and some believe that this playing time translates into absolute progress for our people. My goal is to hold our permanent interests in their faces, forcing them to explain their actions.

China TV Observes MSNBC, Washington Post Co & AOL HuffPo - Creates "CCTV Africa" Network To Build Loyalties Among Disaporatic Blacks

NOTE: This Commercial Is Presently Running On The "CCTV" Satellite Channel (2012)

At this point there is no specific details regarding the agenda of the "Chinese State-Run Media" organization, CCTV, and its plans the new network focused on African affairs but under the Chinese brand.

It stands to reason though that since there is a faction within the various nations in Africa that are wary of the incursion by the Chinese in building up production operations and infrastructure that a news media agent that is committed to painting a "good news" picture about what the Chinese are doing is a very wise investment for their agenda. Instead of depending on the local news media forces to provide the narrative about the Chinese, CCTV is present to tell their perspective on the story. In addition CCTV is able to leverage its vast financial resources to grab market share of some of the existing but undercapitalized entities that exist in various African nations.

I am not mad at CCTV for doing this. The real question is "What are the Africans doing to retain ultimate control over their message, their economic development, their INSTITUTIONAL INTEGRITY"?

2012 - CCTV News Africa - Job Listings - South Africa
2011 - Kenyan Editors In Massive CCTV Recruitment Raid - 200 Jobs
2010 - Xinhau and CCTV Lunch Satellite TV In Africa
2010 - CCTV Opens African Operation
2005 - Chinese TV Extends Its Reach Into Africa

On the one hand the new hires from Kenya will appreciate the "opportunity" that their sponsor, CCTV has afforded them. Over time these various television personalities, producers, editors and managers will gain valuable skills and might possibly matriculate into other media in their respective nations.

There is no doubt that a "brand" is being built, both by "CCTV" and the individual on-air personalities.

It is up to the Kenyans, etc, to keep a wary eye on what is happening around them and retain a baseline of understanding of the truth and then measure "CCTV Africa" against what they know to be so from other sources.

One thing is 100% certain - THEY ARE WATCHING "US", making note of the opportunities that our exposed consumer demands provide for them.

With The Loss Of Black American Consciousness Comes This Detachment

The Rabid "Embedded Black Fox Confidence Man"

The Use Of "Slave/Jim Crow Images" In Black Political Debate - Evaluate The Agenda

The use of "slave imagery" is common in ideological discourse among Black people today. The best way to appraise the veracity of the agenda of the presenter is to distinguish between those images which are used to cajole Black people into "Ideological Unity" versus those images used to bring consciousness to the sad fact that in far too many cases today - the man holding the gun is a Black man, his disturbed consciousness allowed to fester because the balance of our community organizers are focused on external political affairs. They sell us on the notion that when our people assist their political/ideological external partners in their success that these individuals who suffer from BENIGN NEGLECT will be cured - no longer terrorizing us. In the circular reference that is their struggle - the more damaged individuals that matriculate through the local institutions that they now control per their struggle, the louder their call for continued UNITY and redirection lest our community's long time external adversaries start terrorizing us again. They successfully avoid community scrutiny of their stewardship of our key "Human Resource Development" institutions.
