Tell Oxygen Media and NBC Thanks but no Thanks

Although this maybe a reality in our community it is not something that we would like to be considered as part of our heritage or media personification. One black president can not undo this type of "ratchetness". We need to redefine the way that the media portrays African Americans. We can not consistently be reduce to our worst attributes, splattered on television and believe their is no malicious intent behind it. Think about it who benefits from constantly portraying us in such a negative light...it isn't us!

We all have all flaws, God knows we do but they are to make us stronger not to be commericalize and used as a source of entertainment by the corporate elites. Please understand that this is not just a "television show" but a ingrained perception of African Americans that TV execs have and find...amusing. Google positive Black Stereotypes.. (images,web...whatever) and tell me we haven't let this go on for too long. It's not that we don't have any, it's just that they refuse to acknowledge or portray them in the media.
