In May 2012 a Dallas man “randomly” stabbed a shopper inside a Target store. Antowann Davis took a butcher knife out of its packaging and stabbed Martha Jones in the back. “He stabbed me in the back and kept walking,” Jones reported. Jones claims he never spoke to her, or even tried to grab her purse and she had never seen him before. In January 2013 Kerri Dalton was shopping with her child at Bed Bath and Beyond in Middletown, New Jersey. She was stabbed more than a dozen times by Tyrik S. Haynes, a complete stranger. This was described as another “random” attack where robbery was not the motive. In July 2011 Nkosi Thandiwe shot three young females in Atlanta, Georgia, killing one and paralyzing another. Dick Reed, a media analyst in Berkeley, wondered about, “the randomness of it.”
There
was nothing mysterious or “random” about these attacks. All the assailants were black and all
the victims were white strangers.
This fact is frequently unmentioned by the news media. People are critical of the media’s role
in suppressing this type of information.
Many people do not realize that the media does this because they play an
important role in creating the climate in which these attacks take place. This was amply demonstrated by the
distorted media coverage of the Zimmermann/Martin incident.
Part
of the radical progressive agenda is to create resentment. Community organizer, Saul Alinsky
proposed in his Rules for Radicals: “The
first step in community organization is community disorganization. The organizer . . . must first rub raw
the resentments of the people of the community.” Alinsky essentially reiterated the advice of Vladimir Lenin
in his pamphlet What is to be done? "There is no segment in the population without
its circle of discontented and maladjusted and alienated individuals,
predisposed targets for radical hate propaganda, who can be hooked up to a
revolutionary mass movement ... We must use every grain of discontent. We must collect every grain of protest."
This
article will explore the role of the film industry in promoting an atmosphere
of discontent. Hollywood plays a powerful part in creating this
atmosphere. Lenin commented,
"Communists must always consider that of all the arts the motion picture
is the most important." Of course Alinsky was a local
agitator and Vladimir Lenin was a revolutionary. Their recommendations could not have had any influence on
successful, fantastically wealthy Hollywood moguls. However, on close inspection it becomes obvious that a
significant segment of Hollywood is following Lenin’s advice. They are aware of the results of their
agitation and since they continue in the project, they must approve of its
outcome.
To
begin, the 1988 film Mississippi
Burning, which was “loosely based
on an FBI investigation,” appeared.
After watching the movie a group of “youths” in Wisconsin attacked fourteen-year-old
Gregory Riddick leaving him with permanent brain damage. Todd Mitchell
reportedly told his friends, "Do you all feel hyped up to move on some
white people? There goes a white boy.
Go get him." The movie “42” about the
career of Jackie Robinson rated a meeting at the White House. Michelle Obama, Harrison Ford, members
of the cast and 80 students took part in a “frank conversation
about race.” The First Lady
commented, "I know I was mad just watching the movie." She reported that the Robinsons, “met
hatred with decency." Another
recent film has been noticed by the White House: The Butler. President
Obama said, “You know, I did see The
Butler, and I did tear up. I
teared up just thinking about not just the butlers who have worked here in the
White House, but an entire generation of people who were talented and skilled,
but because of Jim Crow, because of discrimination, there was only so far they
could go. And yet, with dignity and tenacity, they got up and worked
every single day, and put up with a whole lot of mess because they hoped for
something better for their kids.”
These
films represent a film genre where
all the blacks are all good. The whites, with few exceptions, are evil. History is distorted in an effort to
appeal to the viewers’ emotions. One reviewer of 12 Years a Slave, a film that portrays the horrors of slavery,
claimed, “The film is so powerful it caused some critics to walk out, and left
others in tears. The film has already made many Americans uneasy about their
past.” Are Hollywood leaders aware
of the consequences of their films.
A reporter asked Quinton Tarantino if there was a link between screen
violence and real violence, he responded, “I’m not answering
your question. It’s none of your
damn business what I think about that.”
The
reviewer of Fruitvale Station, a true
story about the fatal Oakland shooting of an unarmed young black man, reported,
“Some are even suggesting it could threaten to reignite the racial tensions
that are always simmering below the surface of American society.” Louis Farrakhan commenting on the movie
Django, stated, “To me, the movie had a purpose. If a black man came out of that movie thinking like Django
and white people came out of that movie seeing the slaughter of white people
and they are armed to the teeth, it’s preparation for a race war.”
Jamie
Foxx who stars in the movie, Django, joked, “My name is Jamie Foxx. And I got a
movie coming out, … I play a slave. But don’t be worried about it because I get
out [of] the chains, I get free, I save my wife, and I kill all the white
people in the movie. How great is that?”
Django came out shortly before Christopher Dorner went on his killing
spree. Marc Hill commented about
the incident on TV, “It’s almost like watching ‘Django Unchained’ in real life.
It’s kind of exciting.” We are
about to be living in exciting time.
