    I read this book while attending a CUNY school. (Thank you BnN) Great read. It was very enlightening to hear his knowledge on the science of media and the social effects it has on the disenfranchised communities. It also helped me understand the truth about the epigenetic traits we have inherited from our ancestors. Now if we can get our brothers & sisters to understand we’ve been living with our ‘eyes wide shut’. I would love to hear his take on Sunken Place Kanye, the ‘This is America’ video by Danny Glover and the future of television now that we have the internet readily.

      The viewership has risen over the years. People are always slow to come to the table of truth and knowledge.

    Am an African...living in Africa. Just finished reading this book. I tell you for sure that what is pulling back our brothers & sisters in America is also what is affecting us here. It get worse when it becomes tribal or even clans. Something must have happened to the black race way back before slavery. I don't know what it is

    could it also be that when white kids struggle in school, elders go above and beyond to make sure to help the kid along by use of psychology and medication and tutoring etc but when a black kid struggles with behavioural issues or low performance school don't work as hard to help him along. not every struggling black kid is "trying to be cool". that's nonsense

    @20:15 his line on contextual ethics was revealing. He explained away hurting his people by saying, we didn’t know better. The exact logic used by the enslavers.

    Thanks to Sheryl McCarthy for a provocative discussion. While I agree with much of what Mr. Burrell says in his book, it is important to remember that his statements reflect his perceptions and interpretations as a black man in America. While his experience as a former advertising executive gives him specific insights into how the marketing industry works, the seemingly carte-blanche applications provide reasons for concern, and should be regarded as his perspectives and not unequivocal facts.

    This truth is only one layer of the issue .
    While conditioning has a real impact on how we view ourselves and society. He is talking about internalized white supremacy. We cannot lay the onus on the shoulders of the victims without also acknowledging and working to repel external white supremacy

    The fact a black person writes such a book. The fact this interview about the book and it's content. Spells inferiority complex.

      Nope, simply identifying them examining a psychological campaign designed to harm a specific group is not an inferiority complex. If simply examining a topic makes you indicative of the topic then no one can discuss any topic without being guilty by talking.
