Black Family : Father , son , Daughter

My perception of the media has been influenced from these images . Which I already had some views about the media . Like how they always try to find the most ignorant African American to interview if something happened in a pro dominantly black Area. I kinda look at the media in a very negative way for a while . Since they never really focused on the positive just empasized all on the negatives . Thats just news media tho . The T.V. comedies or other things on television are not that about giving negative impressions on the black family . I just think some things are over exaggerated . Which they could be very true but televisions takes it to another level to make it comical . Which is not a bad thing . I laugh at alot of things refering to the african american family because its not in a disrespectful manner . My views werent really changed form this project . I think they kinda stayed the same . In most cases T.V. can send you the wrong message about the african american family . Not negative but just you get the wrong idea or just stereotype everyone from what you see on t.v. Like some people believe all blacks drink and love Kool-aid . Which a majority may like it but t.v. gives you the image that all black do . Its a few other things That t.v. over does like that but not to much . Which most of the stereotypes we recieve about people majority of them come from television . Especially if we havent really interacted or being around people of that ethnicity . I would say im kinda in between on the views media or television gives you about the african american family . Just depends on the television program and whats being presented to the audience if I would agree or disagree . Over all I think its ok how they handle the situations and if its comical and not offending im fine with it .
