It was harder than I had expected to come up with seven natural occurrences on TV and in the news paper. Sometimes I think the media forgets about African Americans, as a whole, maybe, because of their lack of appeal and money source. Especially with the young people not watching TV but playing video games and surfing the internet. The image of African Americas have change a bit since the 1990’s, there are more positive images of African Americas on T.V. While watching the Neely’s on the Food Network I witness a family that not only love each other but help each in the family business and outside family too. Bernie Mac was a positive image in a way because it was family backing up family but the fact that the mother had to be a crack head was totally necessary she could have died or went to jail under false pretenses or something.
