“Black people are not dark-skinned white people,” says
advertising visionary Tom Burrell. In fact, they are a lot
more. They are survivors of the Middle Passage and centuries
of humiliation and deprivation, who have excelled against
the odds, constantly making a way out of “no way!” At this point in history, the idea of black inferiority
should have had a “Going-Out-of-Business Sale.” After all,
Barack Obama has reached the Promised Land. Yet, as
Brainwashed: Erasing the Myth of Black Inferiority
testifies, too much of black America is still wandering in
the wilderness. In this powerful examination of “the greatest propaganda
campaign of all time”—the masterful marketing of black
inferiority—Burrell poses 10 provocative questions that will
make black people look in the mirror and ask why, nearly 150
years after the Emancipation Proclamation, so many blacks
still think like slaves. Brainwashed is not a reprimand; it
is a call to deprogram ourselves of self-defeating attitudes
and actions. Racism is not the issue; how we respond to
racism is the issue. We must undo negative brainwashing and
claim a new state of race-based self-esteem and
self-actualization. Provocative and powerful, Brainwashed dares to expose the
wounds so that we, at last, can heal.
