The Black race is "seemingly" in a state of crisis. If one reads, watches or listens to popular media, it may appear that the majority of African Americans live in poverty, exhibit sexually irresponsible behavior, are chronically violent or criminal by nature and do not work hard enough or smart enough to make something positive of their lives. But the popular media has it wrong for the majority of the stories they broadcast and publish. And they have it wrong because too few African Americans work in media. There are too few writers, broadcasters, directors, producers and managers in radio, television, print media and internet outlets.
We are here to begin to dispel myths, tell the truth and help bring about change in how our people are portrayed. We will examine the behavior of our people but we will also discuss the causes of those behaviors. We will not make excuses but we will not simply cast accusations, either.
This blog will be free of simple rhetoric. Our goal is to tell the truth at all times. Sometimes that will be painful but pain is often a part of growth. We wish to grow and we wish for our audience to grow with us. We look forward to the journey and invite your feedback.
Sincerely,
H and Cabong
