Reverse psychology, a good read none the less, engage, but be enlightened,make note of this! There are bias, categoristic, elliment's in this book, can further segregate the future relationship, of all humanity regardless of skin colors or heritages. Just because a mans skin color or nationality,ethnic groups, placed into a certain class of or type, is ludicrous, you cannot catigorize some one because of their heritage, skin color, ancestry. (Well you can, but you'd most likely be wrong), note, that some are embarrass of the tyrannical motives that existed in their families heritages of all colors, a good read none the less, but, to be on alert, indeed. Not to allow further segregation. Global dominant caricatistic's reside in all skin color, heritages. Don't be ("brainwashed") a puppet to Globalist, Authoritarion powers of today, they're very clever, reside in all ethnic groups, this is key mindset here! God Bless all

I read Brainwashed this summer! I love the treatment insofar as the application of the marketing strategies that the US Government employ/employed towards the demise of the black race in America. This book is an interesting page turner, Mr. Burrell addresses things I had not come across before in my reading of African-American literature concerning slavery, oppression and the traditional, historical movement in America to keep blacks barricaded in inferiority even beyond America's boarders. I especially marveled at the notion of the "bad black man" and its link to Hip Hop culture and black male badness. In addition, the idea that the violent behavior which is imaged in such a way as to convince the public that only black men are involved in such malevolent behavior is directly linked to European, white culture and is not a part of any historical African culture.
I would say Mr. Burrell h as perfect timing especially regarding the way in which a black president is being treated by the white media. They are once again employing the same strategies to hem in yet another black man.

Unoriginal. If you take everything Malcolm X says and place Tom Burrell's spin to it with his anonymous quotes you get "Brainwashed." Just go read the Autobiography of Malcolm X or Malcom X speaks and save yourself the time of thinking this guy is an in depth thinker. (Maybe I'm just ticked he barely mentions Malcolm X after building a whole book off his ideas)....
