Do you think the media portrays the black family in a bad light? (Preferrably black men and women answer)?

Question

Remember movies like Menace To Society, and Boyz In Tha Hood? I am sure you remember movies like that. Movies that always portrayed black men and women in a negative light. They were always shooting one another or the women were sleeping around. But now movies like that have faded away. We now have movies and shows that show our successful black men with white women. Or our beautiful black women with white men. Do you think that the media plays a big role in the way that black ppl treat one another and even in relationships? For instance in the movie Monster's Ball (Black men would you have liked to see Halle Berry have sex with someone other than a white man) or black women when ever turn on the television and they show a white woman kissing a black man, does that raise a hair on your head? why do you feel there are not as much positive interactions between black men and women. And why do you think they continually show movies and shows like this? And why do we constantly watch them?

Answer 1

actualllly yes they do

Answer 2

I think the portrayal of the 'hood is much closer to reality than, say, the Huxtibles of the Cosby show. A black doctor married to a black lawyer - riiiiight. Now THAT was a piece of fiction!

Answer 3

I don't agree with your point , Media has nothing to do with promotion of any particular class or color . We must have confidence and should feel good by doing or carrying all sorts of things , what whites are doing or carrying .

Answer 4

they like to do so as it is the same in other medium

Shut up person.
You're racist and dumb.
Stop focusing on the color of someone's skin tone.

What matters is you getting one.
