News Media

The media has been blamed for causing depression, death, perpetuating stereotypes and demoralizing women, among other things. and of course its true. I will only touch on the media and blacks. Its bad enough that in today's world the media is raising our children and managing perceptions of other races. So I find myself disturbed at the way my people are portrayed in the media. video girls, dope dealers, and uneducated blacks are not the end all be all of blacks. But if you ask any outsider they would probably give you a reenactment of some rapper and speak in what I call ignorant tongue. Even the networks that are supposed to run true black programming such as BET (Black Exploitation Television) make us look like idiots. When will we stop allowing this?
