The Modern Racist Paradigm


A documentary everyone should look into in order to get a clearer understanding of the general ideas of racism and inequality floating around this board. This documentary just shows one facet of our objection with the casting decision. There might be a few biases in there but generally they are correct- generally.

The documentary does not criticize white people. The documentary criticizes the media for making white people the standard. It's two different things and it is in essence what the casting decision has done yet again. They made white people the standard even when it's not their culture that they are representing.

The Modern Racist Paradigm - 1:15:10 - Jul 2, 2007

This is a well researched documentary that exposes the "White" Media's long-term agenda to standardize Caucasian people as the "social norm"...all » This is a well researched documentary that exposes the "White" Media's long-term agenda to standardize Caucasian people as the "social norm" for general society. Through the globalization and centralization of the "White" media and its constant propagation of repetitive images depicting Caucasians in positive roles and as protagonists while usually depicting Non-Caucasians as background characters and antagonists -- which are often connected to negative themes and stereotypes -- the media elite have been able to effectively condition general society into subconsciously adhering to a racist social hierarchy in which Caucasian people are at the very apex. The documentary addresses many modern-day internalized racist psychological dispositions (subconscious forms of internalized racism) which are unknowingly passed down from generation to generation due to the globalization and pervasiveness of "Whiteness"; a cultural assimilation process of which, is directly derivative to historical European expansionism, colonialism, and imperialism. For more detailed research, please go to: http://opposingdigits.com/racistparadigm/ The article in the link above (which has much more information than in the video) also exposes "race" as being nothing more than a social construct. It (the article) exposes the fallacy of "race" and the color labels that are part of it; examples include the terms "Black" and "White", etc., and how those color labels are subconsciously associated with underlying negative and / or positive themes. Note: This video is designed to serve as an introductory presentation to the article itself.
