Malcolm X, The Media, And You!!
Malcolm X vs. The Media
“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”
- Malcolm X
Who is in agreement with Malcolm X on this point? If you do agree with him on this point let me give you some information that is a bit more recent. Are you ready? Regardless here it is… WE ARE THE MEDIA. I’ll give you some time to let it sink in… WE ARE THE MEDIA! Each and everyone of us, yourself included. This is called the information age for a reason. The ability to share our unique voice to others within our own community is the true power of BlackPlanet.com.

Excuse me sir but Blackplanet is part of the problem not the solution. Allow me to make my case http://blacktalkmediaproject.org/screencasts/inappropiatecontent.htm
A Little Known Black History Fact:
Ivan Butcher II, Harlem born Artist, designed and
copyrighted in 1975, The Black Evolutionary American
Flag, with the Library of Congress.
With the approaching Bi-Centennial, Butcher realized
that the Media was ignoring a Legacy of Black
(African Americans) accomplishments made into
the progress of this Nation, not to exclude the Indians
(Native Americans)
As an Artist compelled to create a symbol, that would
express the Contributions that African Americans have
made, he designed a Flag. Inspired by words from one of
Malcolm X’s speeches, for us as an oppressed people
not to disrespect the American Flag but instead create
our own, which then was advocating a nation within a
nation.
Along with the threat of Separatism and the fact that
Evolution sounded too much like Revolution are the major
reasons for The Flag not receiving national recognition
from the Media.
Today the flag is named, Flag of Progress ( slogan:
Unity is Progress)
I am interested in receiving feedback and suggestions on how to market and to exhibit this flag I have designed, which is a tribute to the achievements and accomplishments African Americans have made in America.
Flag of Progress, “Unity is Progress”
