Documentary Channel Examines Race Issues With the Premiere of "What Black Men Think," Part of Black Documentary Cinema in May 2012

An In-Depth View of the Myths, Stereotypes and Misrepresentations About African American Men, Featuring Interviews with Dr. Steve Perry, Joseph C. Phillips, Michael Steele, and More

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Documentary Channel (DOC) is proud to announce the US television premiere of director Janks Morton's award-winning documentary film "What Black Men Think" on Tuesday, May 29 (8p ET/PT), part of Black Documentary Cinema. The film will also be made simultaneously available for online streaming at documentarychannel.com. A searing examination of the role that myths, stereotypes and misrepresentations have played in the lives of modern black men, "What Black Men Think" is an eye-opening look at the race issues that are still very prevalent in the United States today.

"What Black Men Think" explores how negative imagery in the media, the failed policy of the Great Society, and a modern black leadership that has abandoned many of its historically unifying tenets have all led to a new form of mental slavery in the black community. The film features commentary and insights from key black leaders, media personalities, activists and educators such as Dr. Steve Perry, actor Joseph C. Phillips, Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele, author Darryl James and more.

In a time when questions of race and racially motivated violence still populate the headlines, "What Black Men Think" explores the issues from the inside, offering a unique glimpse into the minds of America's black men to reveal a powerful, enlightening, empathetic portrait of African Americans, and suggests we all reconsider the many misconceptions still so prevalent today.

Documentary Channel is primarily available through satellite television services DISH Network (Channel 197) and DIRECTV (Channel 267).

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.

A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
