A former white Miami police officer called into my Politics Done Right program. It’s clear, like most Americans, his beliefs were dictated by what he saw on TV about people of color.
A police officer tells an uncomfortable truth.
While many would consider the former cop a racist for the manner in which he came across, he said the things I would wager most white people believe based on their conditioning and indoctrination by an unbalanced media that creates the national narrative on race. What few realize is the purpose of these racist narratives.
The former police officer called into my Politics Done Right program asking why leading black leaders like Sheila Jackson Lee & sports figures like LeBron James do not speak up about all the violence and crime perpetrated by the “blacks” we see on TV. I wanted to give the man the freedom to say out loud what too many believe.
I pointed out that he was basing his beliefs on what TV producers wanted him to see. People of color do not have a higher propensity to crime than all Americans. It is not a complex subject but one where purposeful subjective reporting and societal design ensure the stereotypes that this man and too many Americans suffer from.
Our economic system requires that people are preoccupied with each other. It must ensure that many isms separate us so we keep our eyes off the few that are screwing us all and profiting dearly from it.
Please watch the entire interview. Understand that my interviewing style ensures that I listen and am careful with my words. It allows the subject to talk without judgment, making sure I get a more realistic assessment of their thoughts.
