There are numerous definitions of racism and cultural prejudice. This topic is not dealing with the definition, blame, problems now or the problems in the past. This is about the Satanic Forces that use many weapons, such as the Media, to cause hatred, mistrust and of course crime and violence.
Arguably, many people believe with good reasons, state that the Media is merely likely a prostitute because they broadcast and publish information based on the gaining of financial revenues and also in such a way to persuade and shape opinion based on who is paying them. (This also applies to Politicians.) The perceived problem is exacerbated because of empirical evidence of the general populous being ignorant and apathetic to discern facts and truth from rumors, innuendos and information omitted.

The Media Problem
In the Media, unfortunately there is a great deal of misinformation designed on purpose and then there is the small part done with the best intentions. As much as it is hard to believe, the Media is knowingly causing increased racism and cultural prejudices which anyone can judge by the results. Additionally, when trying with the best intentions, more often than not, the Media causes the opposite negative affect. It can be argued that the Media's intentions are also to drive up ratings and increased viewers by starting controversies in all areas.
The media is often the tool of an incompetent or oppressive government systems. It is done by diverting the public's attention on to other areas of real, minor or imagined problems so that more significant problems are not noticed. Additionally, the diversions are also done to aid a Political Party. The has been observed in many countries besides the USA. War is often a companion tool to divert the general public from noticing corruption in governments.
Some worthy quotations from Mark Twain to frame this topic:
Anonymous:
It is possible to tell the truth, but speak with deception by the omission of facts and information.
History of the world is replete with racial and cultural prejudice, slavery, murder and all sorts of victimization that no single racial or cultural group can claim superiority over another. Unfortunately, much of the population in the present time are myopic. The general public looks at current problems and make the rationalizations that are causing hatred to be passed down from generation to generation with escalation of violence, crime and even a further dependence upon a support system which fosters the continuation of hatred and distrust.
A quick example of one-sided information in Media reporting is that the education system is favoring more affluent income areas than less affluent areas. The Media sites lower test scores and the reason is less money spent in the less affluent areas. What is not reported, besides other areas, are the following:
Summary information:
Improper reporting by the Media, in the area of racism and cultural prejudice often occurs in at least two forms:
In the United States, for example in the year 2015, there have been several Media news outlets reporting about people from one ethnicity being shot by police. (Other ethnicities being shot by the police are very rarely ever mentioned.) The news stories from 2015 often:
Police shootings, justified or not justified, cause:
The statistics in the above two categories are sometimes either hard to find or the statistics are not reported on the main Media Outlets. Arguably, maybe the statistics should be given to help curb the revenge crimes and murders. To make matters even worse, when someone is caught committing any of the revenge crimes, the Media in 2015 more often than not add on opinions such as:
The other problem that is not reported accurately, is the actual statistics on how many of police actions causing death are because of abuse of power and ego. In other words, the police officer is using his/her position in an criminal way against someone. This clearly is a problem but it should not be confused with racism or cultural prejudice in every single case. Additionally, there are incidents of unjustified police related deaths that were done by a police officer against their own ethnicity which are reported as:
Sadly, there is the observed deliberate silencing of voices from the victim's racial or cultural group, who speak out against revenge crimes and also against miss-information spoken by (a) the Media, (b) leaders of racial or cultural groups who make their income off of polarization of racial and cultural groups. The Media will find people to drive up viewership rating by airing interviews from people who say "those spokespersons represent us in our racial or cultural group need to be given the benefit of doubt on their statements because of the good things they have done in the past."
The Media in whole, is in fear of not being politically correct (saying something to offend specific groups). Way too often, the Media outlets give radical spokespeople the platform to make ethnicity statements against others ethnicities without truth and facts accountability. Clearly there are great men and women who are unquestionably doing outstanding work to fix problems dealing with racism and cultural prejudices!
The problem is there are other men and women who are monetarily motivated, where with careful examination, will show that their income is based on false accusations, innuendos, strife and other negatives. When these men and women speak, their motivation is to keep themselves in power, obtain more power and acquire more money monetary benefits which requires a never-ending ethnicity and cultural problem to speak about.
Movie and TV Industry
Lastly, the Media is not the only entity whose actions work against racial and cultural harmony and acceptance. A great deal of the Movie and TV entertainment industry has so many examples that it defies any excuse other than it being deliberate. It makes no sense when their actions actually cost them revenues yet they proceed to continue with the same course of action that portrays one ethnicity is always being prejudice.
Also regarding the Film and TV industries, is there is a negative bias towards the Christian Faith? The answer is overwhelmingly "yes". A quick example is the two movies: The Flood (2014 - Russell Crowe) and Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014 - Christian Bale) which are examples of ignoring the written text in the Bible and even mock the Bible. Both movies offended the primary audience that would have seen the movie and bought the DVD which caused loss of revenue. Note that the cinematography and acting are excellent in these two movies but the problem is their failure to use the Biblical account.
What does the Bible say about racism and prejudices?
The Bible is explicitly clear about loving one another no matter the ethnicity, gender, age and culture. Some scriptures references:
Genesis 1:27 | So God created man in his own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. |
Mark 12:31 | The second is this, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these." |
Galatians 3:28 | There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. |
Romans 2:11 | For God shows no partiality. |
