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 .
I agree with you on pretty much all points here Mr. Caro. It is funny how every time you watch the news or a top story and African Americans are being interviewed it often times seems like the ones who answer these questions are completely oblivious to what is truly going on, and in turn send a negative image of the African American community to the rest of society when in reality that is just one person. It is unfortunate that people judge so quickly and rarely give others the benefit of the doubt when it comes to down to stereotypes and discrimination.
