  • Chapter 11 (of 12)-BRAINWASHED-CHALLENGING the MYTH of BLACK INFERIORITY by Tom Burrell
    Neo-Coons-Why is the joke always on us?... Woven into the Black American experience is a strong thread of avoidance, an aversion to critical thinking, and an abnormal embrace of anything that appeals to our emotions rather than our reasoning. The unspoken trauma of pain and powerlessness has led too many of us to prefer laughter to learning, and pretending over mending. These impulses mixed with our damaged psyches, have left us ripe for exploitation...

  • Chapter 10 (of 12) continued...BRAINWASHED-CHALLENGING the MYTH of BLACK INFERIORITY by Tom Burrell
    Don’t Hate-Elevate.- Because of our disunity , we have disdain for cooperation and coalescence among ourselves. Consequently, we isolate ourselves from the possible benefits of collective development and business sustainability.... Because we have internalized negative propaganda about who we are, we are more likely to treat those who look like us poorly. This is the real source of disunity in the Black community.

  • Chapter 10 (of 12) continued...BRAINWASHED -CHALLENGING the MYTH of BLACK INFERIORITY by Tom Burrell
    After landmark civil rights laws were passed in the mid-1960’s, great sources of potential wealth and stability were discarded as legions of brainwashed Blacks abandoned their communities and businesses to chase the “dream” of a newly integrated society. Patronizing and working for popular and prominent White businesses, instead of creating, growing and supporting our own became the symbol of progress.

  • Chapter 10 (of 12)- BRAINWASHED-CHALLENGING the MYTH of BLACK INFERIORITY
    Diss-unity...Why can’t we stick together? This chapter examines how we have subconsciously accepted mistrust and powerlessness. Diss-unity is the handicap that hampers our ability to merge around almost anything ...”Everything White people don’t like about Black people, Black people REALLY don’t like about Black people!”~Chris Rock...Chris Rock’s routine was funny because we all know obnoxious or self-destructive people. What’s not so hilarious is the unrecognized conditioning that feeds such humor...today we are proudly repeating the negative sentiments and stereotypes that many Whites hold about us...

  • Chapter 9 (of 12)-BRAINWASHED-CHALLENGING the MYTH of BLACK INFERIORITY by Tom Burrell
    Bred to Be Led-Why do we so willingly give up control of our lives?...Mainstream Christianity programmed us to accept and embrace suffering and oppression. Although it’s a general religious precept that we are all “sinners” Blacks were taught that their skin color and servile position in life were heavenly markers of earthly damnation-the introduction of plantation style Christianity and the Black preacher; the formation of the Black church and its extension into the Civil Rights movement; our acquiescence to church and political leaders-all are, unfortunately, branches of a tree rooted in 17th century soil...

    Superficial Black history reminders won’t be enough. Black kids need an anti-brainwashing curriculum aimed at demonstrating to them that the negativity in their lives has nothing to do with any kind of inherent deficiency or inability to achieve...

    D’s Will Do-Why do we expect so little of each other-and ourselves?...We institutionalized low expectations. We’re all guilty...an internalized sense of limitation embedded in the psyches of Black parents and sewn into the fabric of White society... keeps Blacks in a disadvantaged state...
