As you can see in the captions the "Electric Jew" is "brainwashing" the "pure" white children into "race mixing" and idolizing the black entertainers. They believe the children who watch MTV and stations like it will see black men with money, fame and beautiful women and aspire to be like them including dressing like them, talking like them, and race mixing like them. It is obvious that whoever drew this cartoon feels that the Jewish population controls the entertainment industry and the entertainers themselves are almost like their puppets. Ultimately everything is fed to the white children who are then convinced that black athletes and entertainers are superior to white ones. When in reality media is ever evolving and at this time rap and hip hop are at the top of the entertainment world. We have talked extensively about miscegenation and I know I am repeating myself but this is the number one threat to the white nationalists and the media is enemy number 1. As we think about this I would like to make a specific example and I think a perfect one would be rap artist Marshall Mathers better known as his stage name Eminem. Mathers is a white rapper who is probably one of the most well known rappers of the last decade. I think he is the worst fear of the white nationalists. A white male who fell in love with something that had been predominately black. He has a cult like following and those from all races like his music. It fits right into our topic as he is a public figure and perhaps a role model of sorts for many underprivileged children. Most of Eminem's entourage is African american and he talks and dresses like a "black" rapper would. This is the fear of the white nationalist movement that the white youth are enjoying and finding success in "non-white" activities which leads to miscegenation and perhaps the "downfall" of the race. We could find many more examples of how white nationalists feel they are shown in a bad light and that minorities are shown as a thriving community. In the end the white supremacist groups feel that they are now the minority and the media is to blame.

How is the media affecting white nationalists?
As we have discussed numerous times in class throughout the semester, the majority of white nationalists groups believe that the Jewish people are plotting against them and are intentionally making them look bad in the media. The specific topic for this post is how "racial genocide" plays into my topic. Well in the world of the white nationalist the media is one of, if not the biggest threat to their race. They believe that one of the main causes of miscegenation is Television. Miscegenation or "race mixing" is the number one threat to the existence of the white race. White nationalists feel that the white race is endangered and that the "Jews" in control of the media are trying to influence younger generations with channels like MTV, BET, VH1 and many others. The white nationalists understand that when people live in the same city and neighborhoods that 'race mixing' is bound to happen and they feel that the media and "jews" are fueling the fire more than anything else. Attached is a cartoon we analyzed in class that I feel related very well to this topic.
