CONCEPT OF THE MOVIE AWESOME THE MOVIE ITSELF SUCK F**KING ASS

The depiction of the Nigerian gangster was a bit disturbing. I enjoyed the movie.

I haven’t seen the movie but uhmm are they doing this in parts of the country?

This is the same country who has one of the highest HIV rates and poverty. Yet an abundance oil~ Corrupt politicians and goons persucuting fellow countrymen~
Instead of worrying about fictional portrayls, they should focus on the real lives of their countrymen.

they smarter then most motherf**kers HERE………

at least they reconize when the media is disrespecting them and choose NOT to spend money supporting it…….

Nigeria does not have the highest number of Hiv Aids surferers neither is she among the poorest of nations. Granted it has corrupt politicians just like every other country. We had a president steal an elections here in the US and a governor was just impeached for trying to sell House seats. Remove the log in your eyes before you worry about the speck in somebody else’s and do your research b4 you post stupid information about the most populous black nation. You would protest too if a vicious and negative information was put out there in a movie about your country. Moron!!

Thought provoking film though I can understand why Nigerians all over the world are none too pleased with the portrayal of their people.

I don’t care if you were born in Nigeria or you have Nigerian blood but were born in America. This is nonsense. I do not stand for the ignorance of anyone who makes fun of my people. I have Nigerian blood. I feel that if they are going to make a film that portrays Nigerians they need to take a deep look and see the structure of the culture granted that the culture is strict and non-individualistic. If you can analyze in that way instead of assuming that Nigerians are gangsters then you are depicting it more accurately. Nigerians emphasize education. That is their absolute biggest concern. The people who put this film together need to educate themselves about the Nigerian culture.

THE MOST PROFICIENT SYSTEM OF RACISM EVER

The present despairing state of Black America is neither a baffling phenomenon, nor the result of some innate racial deficiency among Blacks; but rather instead the result of a more sophisticatedly evolved racist system that is commonly used against Black populations as a means for maintaining white dominance and control. And although this method is less blatant than those earlier racist systems used in the past against Blacks, its affects are detrimentally real. In fact it is by far the most proficient racist system ever deployed against America’s black population-and yet most Black people are totally oblivious it. It is imperative that Black people recognize how racism has sophisticatedly evolved if we are to be apart of the future.

The national media’s distorted portrayal of Black America that amplifies the negative to the point that it distorts reality is more than just biased media reports. They function as media manipulation psychosocial programs. A covert system that maintains white dominance and control by ensuring that Blacks remain the most racially divided, devalued and most economically exploited group in America. It was implemented by America’s true ruling white elites; they that actually run the country from behind the scenes and maintains their positions of power and prestige regardless of who is actually president.

The constant relentless bombardment with deplorably negative images of themselves that of which African Americans are so inundated with, through a white controlled media, is a very carefully and deliberately designed psychological conditioning program. It is designed to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective consciousness of its African American population by subjecting them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves while implying that they admire, respect, and trust only whites.

This media psychosocial program conditions Black people to accept white dominance over their lives by convincing them that it is now they that are their own worst enemies. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to break down African Americans’ sense of racial unity and allegiance, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group.

When most people hear the term of psychological manipulation they usually think in terms of the classic “conspiracy theory” that refers to overt mind control such as mind altering drugs with carefully hypnotic programming. However, the real and true dangers are the well proven methods of affecting the unconscious mind by using deception, and manipulation. It is neither magical nor mystical, but a process that involves a set of basic social psychological principles.

This method of psychological manipulation works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. Here is a simplified example of how this is being implemented against African Americans. Let us, for example, imagine that a crew of people was aboard their own massive ship and that this ship was being followed by another neighboring ship that was constantly broadcasting derogatory messages to the first group. Such messages as that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy, perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent and was planning a mutiny. With time, the group receiving the negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages and deficiencies will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves.

The perception created by the taunting unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves. The taunted group may even become so besieged by deep feelings of inadequacy that they may even jump into the sea and attempt to swim towards the taunting ship now believing it to be superior to their own ship even if their own ship was in fact better. The basis of this concept of mind manipulation is that the human being’s most critical aspect is the mind and it works by affecting the mind through deception.

Within a real life setting this mortifying psychosocial treatment is precisely what is being deliberately done to African Americans through governmentally controlled media outlets that deliberately subjected them to seeing only the fraudulently worst in themselves. Today false deplorably racial devaluing stories and reports about African Americans are being created by covert agencies within the U.S. government and then leaked to its collaborators in the news media. These false information about African Americans are then disseminated unrelentingly everywhere; it is deliberately perpetuated through news releases in magazine articles, radio, television, press releases, doc**entaries, and false census reports perpetuating and framing the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population. The weapon is not in how the message is carried, but is instead within the messages that it carries and how these messages detrimentally affects the Black population at large.

To the detriment of many African Americans, this applied psychological conditioning has been extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to not only accept, but in some cases to prefer the dominance of white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies. [Blacks own negative personal experiences within their group merely reinforce the program’s perpetuated message that it is they that are their own worst enemies.] These thoughts when injected into the Black psyche engender an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility.
This psychosocial program is at the root of the profound feelings of internalize self hatred and self contemptuous attitudes presently among so many African Americans and at is the heart of the internalized feelings of superiority that many whites possess.

It is deplored with both subtlety and thoroughness in its management of the news that is presented to its Black population. Furthermore, it is not distant and impersonal; it reaches into the homes of every African American, working its will during nearly every waking hour. All African Americans have experienced the burden of this system of applied psychological conditioning, some more severely than others have. It is the power that shapes and molds the mind and perceptions of virtually every Black citizen, young or old, rich or poor, simple or sophisticated, unknown or famous. It is experienced every time a Black person read a newspaper, watches the evening news, and listens to derogatory radio broadcast about themselves. However, most Blacks fail to realize that they are being manipulated and instead falls victims to the misinformation about themselves. Many African Americans literally develop a self contemptuous “anti Black” frame of thought that collectively attributes to Black disunity at a time when we need unity; it distracts us from solving real problems; increases self loathing at a time when we need to come together to face the complicity in our condition. It prevents the African-American community from forging the alliances within it needed to bring about real change.

And while many Black Americans have successfully navigated through the psychology mortifying mine field and have gone on to lead successful, productive lives, for far too many African Americans this immense devaluation can seem inescapable and tragically, over time, many begin to accept subconsciously and painfully the negative portrayals of themselves. Many also become discouraged by the acceptance that their society is also preconditioned to see the worst in them. For some of its Black victims it can be so detrimental to their psyche that it may even cause them to feel that there is something not quite right about their Black humanity

Even the socially conscious Black person who complains about “racially biased news” falls into the trap of thinking that because he is presented with an apparent spectrum of opinion he can escape the thought controllers’ influence by believing the editor or commentator of his choice. It’s a “heads I win, tails you lose” situation. Every point on the permissible spectrum of public opinion is acceptable to the media masters—and no impermissible fact or viewpoint is allowed any exposure at all, if they can prevent it.

The ultimately goal is psychosocial program is to destroy the Black unity and cohesion that was historically the cornerstone of civil rights movement and that was a crucial factor of the survival of African Americans through more than four hundred years of racial oppression. [Logic dictates that given that immense unity among African Americans --as demonstrated by their brilliant civil rights organizing and strategies-- was responsible for the erosion of White America’s past system of blatant, institutionalized racism, then destroying this unity would be an essential objective of this mass psychosocial program.]

This media deplored mass manipulation program is made possible because the media form for us our image of the world and essentially everything we know—or think we know—about events outside our own neighborhood or circle of acquaintances comes to us via our daily newspaper, our weekly news magazine, our radio, or our television. By employing carefully developed psychological techniques, the mass media guide our thoughts and opinions. The way in which the news is covered: which point of views are emphasized and which are played down; the phrasing of headlines; the choice of words, pictures, and illustrations—all of these things subliminally and yet profoundly affect the way in which we interpret what we see or hear. The media tell us which side of an issue that we should favor, forms our images of various groups of people. Even our images of ourselves are greatly influenced by what media shows us about our own group. Given these factor the media has been used for decades by government elites to manipulate public opinion and to socially engineer society towards governmental objectives.

The U.S. Government has an extensive history of using the media to conduct mass propaganda manipulation programs to influence the perception of its citizens to meet its governmental objectives. Given that the nineteen sixties were a period of massive black rebellion and unrest that eroded the American global image and increasingly placed the nation’s peace and stability in dire jeopardy and perhaps most particularly because the nations top sociologist and psychologist knew that those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. This quite logically necessitated that the U.S. Government employ these same proven methods of mass psychological manipulation against its entire African American population– Its greatest civil rights organizers, protestors, and fighters of white institutionalized racism as a means of maintaining its white dominance and control.
Not only does this massive governmental psychological manipulation campaign negatively impacts Blacks self perceptions, but it also provides a more socially acceptable way to exploit and suppressed African Americans. Its deplorable imageries of Black Americans also to create a shift of victimization that changes the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism. Therefore engendering prejudiced distorted perceptions and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans that are designed to makes the nation and the entire world insensitive to their plight, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, lessens pressure for social change on their behalf, and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. Therefore fostering a national setting of where in which Blacks are more easily exploited and ultimately consensually suppressed.
It creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they 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. When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the fiercest and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated under the belief that it is justified. This is what America’s mass propaganda specialist Dr. Edward Bernays referred to as “engineering consent”.

Through its blatant propagandizing of distorting TV doc**entaries that deploringly characterizes its Black population, this media psychosocial program perpetuates a depiction of Black people that expresses a profoundly distorted view that elevates what is wrong with Black America above all that we know is right with Black America. Its portrayal of Black America is one that ignores all facts that conflict with the racist conceptions of the white elites and sees the endemic problems of Black America as rooted primarily with Blacks themselves, instead of emanating from white racism. This program revises the past to conveniently make whites appear less inhumane through out America’s brutal racist history; and despite a brutal history to the contrary– fraudulently depicts whites as being the standard of ethics and morale values while portraying Blacks as being all that’s wrong with America. It also facilitates a national consensual environment of where in which Blacks cries for equality are lesser heard and their mistreatment appears more justified.

There is no greater power in the world today than that wielded by the manipulators of public opinion in America. No king or pope of old, no conquering general or high priest ever disposed of a power even remotely approaching that of the few dozen men who control America’s mass media of news and entertainment. It is they that control black self perceptions, thus affecting Black unity and pride, and that determines the images of how Black Americans are portrayed before the entire world

Our Responsibility

Once we Black people come to recognize this psychosocial treatment of us, it is our inescapable responsibility to do whatever is necessary to break this control. We must shrink from nothing in combating this evil power that has fastened its deadly grip on our people and is injecting its lethal poison into our people’s minds and souls. If our race fails to destroy it, it certainly will destroy our race.

Those are the facts of how Black people are being manipulated by media control in America. We must not remain silent on this most important of issues. The white elite’s control of the American mass media is the single most important fact of life, not just in America, but in the whole world today. There is nothing more dangerous to the future of our people.

By permitting the white elites to continue their total control of our news and entertainment media we are doing more than merely giving them a decisive influence on our communities; we also are giving them virtual control of the minds and souls of our children, whose attitudes and ideas are shaped more by white controlled television and films than by parents, schools, or any other influence.

I think I broke my scroll @ thanubian4…lol

20,000,000 Black people standing firm… thats what it do right there

guys are standing here to make things rigth if they dont want it then let it be

who cares! black people are always crying about something! idiots!

Okay, this is silly. Sorry but a lot of what was seen in District 9 was rooted in fact. Has anyone seen “Ruined?” District 9 raises a lot of issues we can’t even begin to scratch the surface. Also, it’s pretty interesting that no one pointed out the relationship Wikus (main character) had with the two Black South Africans he was sent out into the field to work with.

Also, it was a bit of a mockumentary so it shouldn’t be taken to heart.

[...] here: Nigeria Bans “District 9″ | NewsOne Share and [...]

Let’s stop making it seem like blacks are the only people complaining! All day long i watch whites acting like jackasses all over the internet from ,my space , youtube to black planet, learn a new word, go to college or use a dictionary! If the Nigerians are complaining they have just as much of a rigth to as anyone, anyway we put up with 500 years of whites compliants against blacks so reap what you SOW! AND SHUT UP!(were tried of hearing it!

ANYTHING THAT PORTRAYS NIGERIA OR BLACK PEOPLE IN GENERAL AS BAD IS NOT WELCOMED. ALREADY BLACK PEOPLE ARE INSULTED ENOUGH IN THE WORLD. SO ALL THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO IS TO SUE SONY COMPANY, TAKE THE F**KERS TO COURT. PEROID.

I loke to start that, The nigeria has suffered in the hands of the media for long now, its time to liberate. I got the the ass hole “2daTopnonStop” who said the that Nigeria has the highest rate of hiv better check what you say don’t say because you heard it from the media. If you really want to know what is about Nigeria you got back to history of Black people, it date back to slave story 65% of black people you see now comes from Nigeria, so any story coming from Nigeria seems interesting for the media.

I think someone needs to make a movie where the Indians are good guys and the white people just come over and take over their land and rape thier women like what happened in real life. It probably will not sell well so I understand how Nigeria is feeling on this.

GO HEAD NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!NOW HOW ABOUT WE BAN SOME SH**t

Give me a break….it’s fiction, meaning it’s not real. How many of the naysayers have movies that show black in the negative in their dvd collection….lol. If the movie was based on facts then you’d have a legit complaint, but it’s FICTION.

I SEEN THE MOVIE…AND FAKE OR NOT. IT WAS RATHER OFFENSIVE. I THINK IT SHOULD BE BANNED.

You know to you all it maybe fake or whatever the case maybe i actually could not get into the movie at all, and as to go with that i wouldnt know about the offensive part about it, but what i do know if any of you know of ,…. anyone ever get emails saying they are next to kin to someone you never met that died in a scence from Final Destination, and now you supposed to inherit millions of dollars from doing nothing but having a email address, these are same fuking thieves that sit in internet cafe lounges in Lagos,Nigeria trying to get people to send money to them, scam artists up the world men and women over there fuking criminals over there so i have no love for someone who uses Gods name in vain for there own selfish acts of and they doing to all of Americans so, im surprised Sony didnt get anything stoling from them while filming that silly ass movie..for those who know what im talking about” REAL TALK”
