Now with it being the LAST day of 2009, let us
PLEASE make the conscious effort to put a stop to the way media is portraying US! And by us I mean black people/African Americans! I'm tired of some rich white corporate executive siting behind his desk thinking of new ways to portray US as a culture, a people, and society, in such a dark, disgusting, and vile manner. Especially with the masses fixated on what they think is "reality television". Shows like
Flavor of Love,
Real Chance of Love, and this new show on TLC called
One Big Happy Family is depicting an obese black family as a real-life "Klumps". We have to stand up to this type of stereotyping and bold face degradation of our people. Because in their eyes if we're not running, jumping, shooting, stealing, committing acts of violence, fighting, cursing, and having illegitimate children, then we're not worth watching.
Here's a preview of the show, and if you don't feel some time of way about this then....
Peace & Love
