When groups in power want to suppress or to exploit its minority group they do so by portraying that group as a fearsome enemy or a major problem of the society through lies and manufactured news items. They utilize propaganda to turn harmless targeted groups into a fearsome enemy through lies and manufactured news items. They then use the fraudulent information to justify attacking and or mistreating the group. This propaganda practice is referred to as manufactured consent orengineering consent. This unspoken practice continues in the case of African Americans. The white media’s nightly negative newscast depictions of its Black population is deliberately designed to reinforce seemingly preconditioned response of resentment and prejudicial images of Black people in the majority population, thereby creating a false impression of wanton Black criminality and violence. This engenders prejudiced distorted perceptions and acrimonious beliefs about its Black populous that are designed to make the nation and the entire world insensitive to their plight, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, and lessens pressure for social change on behalf of Blacks. It also makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. The “Mainstreaming” of negative images of Black people also facilitates a national consensual setting that allows Black mistreatment. Its negative depictions creates a false justification for the white controlled legal system’s mistreatment of Blacks. A setting wherein which Blacks are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has subconsciously become that it’s all now justified. Black Matrix
