In the following video Dillard drops knowledge on the R. Kelly situation and the importance of black media outlets. At the 49 minute mark she delves into why the mainstream media has marshaled resources to keep African Americans from reading Shock Exchange:
They determine and they set the limits of the news and the knowledge that you receive. This is why the educational system is so absolutely dangerous for black people because they give us misinformation in schools as well … They want to stunt the growth of the black mind. They cannot afford to have a thinking people … This one of the most important broadcasts. If you can understand it, perceive it. This is spiritual warfare …
They want to limit the scope of the knowledge and intelligence that you have. They control the agenda of what you hear and you set about living your life based on what the news tells you … without any fact checking, without hearing any alternative opinion.
The mainstream media wants to keep the masses ignorant and uninformed. It does not want African Americans aware of the next recession and how trillions in stimulus from the Obama, Trump and the Federal Reserve to Wall Street and big business have damaged this country. That’s why the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The Telegraph, et. al, refuse to acknowledge how inner-city black kids predicted the Great Recession and the pain ahead.
