#7. Your Programming Is All White.

We’re all programmed. It starts with our parents and the world takes it from there. I get it. We all are forced to rely on our racist government to educate and inform us, but sometimes racist business people create racist television commercials, programming and educational programs too. Are your sources all White though? Mines aren’t. I consume all sorts of non-Black music and programming because I like it and I know it makes me more culturally aware. Are your favorite news people all White? Are all of your respected religious and political leaders White? Are all of your politicians White? Were you educated in all White settings? Are your favorite television shows, White, all the time? When is the last time you’ve ever watched a television show not written, produced, backed, or focused on White life? Your eyes are the gateway to your soul, and if you are doing nothing but feeding yourself White books, White movies, music created by only White people, wearing White designers, watching White social media content and influencers…

Well, you know the deal. Your lack of interests is telling. Remember, there are so much of programming Black people cannot avoid (i.e. mainstream media, public education). It’s time to take a long, hard look at yourself and examine how you got this way. Some of it was nature. Some of it was nurture. All White programming is racist nurturing.
