How did we arrive at this point of Black people hating other Black people
Abducted, Enslaved, Colonized, Indoctrinated, Integrated, Assimilated Black people have been subjected to over 400 years of of systematic social programming of hatred towards themselves. A nation of people that had no buffer to combat the vicious verbal attacks they mercilessly received. Thus over time their spirits were broken and they began to internalize the propaganda disseminated concerning them and use it against their own race. Self-hatred spawned from the observance of hatred that their captors had towards Black people. Developed an Implicit and subconscious bias against their own people Retaliate on your own people due to years of mounting frustration from white hatred.

In short, according to the world as it is presented by the media, the suffering black males can easily be presumed to be solely responsible for their own fates. Without knowing these larger stories, the average person is left to assume that black males are innately or culturally inclined towards low achievement, criminality, and broken families. pg.26

Specifically, scholars state that images in the media have a negative impact on black perceptions of self, though there is no shared consensus on how exactly this plays out. Various mechanisms may be at play: Negative media stereotypes (thugs, criminals, fools, and the disadvantaged) are demoralizing and reduce self-esteem and expectations. Dealing with negative expectations may also create stress and drain cognitive resources in some contexts — leading to the lowered performance associated with “stereotype threat.”

Assault on the Black Mind
Social programming Get them to belief that they are inferior and that their opportunities are only in entertainment Destroy the psyche of the black male and female so that their mentality is self-destructive Manufacture and environment in which educated blacks despise ignorant blacks Get them to believe that integration and assimilation will be the solution to their problems.

The first Hollywood film to feature an all-black cast was Hearts in Dixie, which was produced in 1929 and directed by Paul Sloane for Fox. "This film introduced to wider audiences, one of the film industry's most polemic figures ever -Stepin Fetchit." ( palace/black/introduction.htm) In the film, the audience is introduced to the faithful black plantation workers, toiling hard in the fields all day and relaxing at night by singing and dancing. Stepin Fetchit typifies the lazy, but goodnatured slave, unwilling to work, but forgiven for his errant ways

Stereotypes of blacks as lazy, stupid, foolish, cowardly, submissive, irresponsible, childish, violent, sub-human, and animal-like, are rampant in today's society. These degrading stereotypes are reinforced and enhanced by the negative portrayal of blacks in the media. Black characters have appeared in American films since the beginning of the industry in But blacks weren't even hired to portray blacks in early works. Instead, white actors and actresses were hired to portray the characters while in "blackface." ( In addition, blacks were purposely portrayed in films with negative stereotypes that reinforced white supremacy over blacks. This has had a tremendous effect on our society's view of blacks since motion pictures have had more of an impact on the public mind than any other entertainment medium in the last ninety years. (Sampson 1977; 1) The media sets the tone for the morals, values, and images of our culture. Many people in this country, some of whom have never encountered black people, believe that the degrading stereotypes of blacks are based on reality and not fiction. Everything they believe about blacks is determined by what they see on television. After over a century of movie making, these horrible stereotypes continue to plague us today, and until negative images of blacks are extinguished from the media, blacks will be regarded as second-class citizens.

Researchers also have confirmed that the media creates rather than reflects negative understanding, finding, for example, that the higher the consumption of media, the lower the self-esteem among African Americans. (Tan & Tan, 1979)

Additionally, scholars have explored the ways in which black males can come to internalize biases and stereotypes and then, through their words and actions, reinforce or perpetuate those distortions.(Pg. 15)
16
Usually implicit in the literature, but sometimes explicitly discussed, is the idea that attitudes and biases can lead to real, practical consequences for black men and boys. These attitudes and biases can affect a black male’s fate when it depends on how he is perceived by others, even including other blacks, and on what kind of rapport they have with him. For instance, attitudes (shaped to some degree by media) can and do: directly affect the likelihood of being hired or promoted; directly affect the likelihood of school admission; directly affect school grades; directly affect treatment within the justice system; directly affect chances of getting loans; end up affecting health and life expectancy; end up affecting self-realization and individual development; end up affecting the state of social policy (e.g., punitive laws and police practices that impact communities).
