From a black point of view, my biggest concern is the listener and the viewer. I often ask myself why we continue to accept all the nonsense that we do on the radio and on TV. We are the number one consumers in America yet we allow our children to be conditioned every day by the media. I recently watched an award show where children were in the audience and the rappers just cussed like the kids were grown! And the aftershow had a living legend in front of his 19 year old step son drinking vodka and pineapple juice.
When will we have accountability in our community? When will we target our spending power with people who care about our communities and our kids? When will we stop blaming the world and say if we come together the world will come to us? When will we teach our kids and each other that ball players and rappers are not heroes? When will stop looking for the bad and start enjoying the good in things?
In the end if the white media that are trying to understand race never fight to help put a black opinionated person on TV, and if we as blacks don't use our spending power and be accountable we will continue to get conditioned by a media that only wants one thing from us: our money.
