“Stereotypes of blacks in movies/television. Mass media entertainment is a major part of the way that blacks perceive themselves. Today, it is virtually impossible to see any film or TV show in which blacks are positively portrayed as anything but drug sellers, thugs and criminals.”

Your link is a discouraging affirmation of my comment. With these types of influences, how are black males ever going to get the positive messages they need to break out of the cycle of irresponsible and criminal behavior?

(To be honest, I was hoping someone would respond to me with information that would prove me wrong. *Sigh*)
