Sociologist and YouTuber Deza Noah argues that the black community has been "engineered" into a state of generational victimization through the media's focus on police killings. He introduces the concept of "pathological generational desensitization," where self-hatred is created by pitting blacks against each other based on pigmentation and class. This system, he claims, makes it easy for young men to devalue their own lives and the lives of others.
