Stereotypical Portrayals of Black People on TV and in Movies

I just signed into Twitter ,and "College Hill" was a Trending Topic. Can you guess the demographic of people who were tweeting about it? ONLY African Americans. And you wonder why I made a video titled, "I Am Embarrassed By Black People".

As the title states.

There is a show my mom watches called Private Practice. That has a black woman as one of the main characters. Watch that show instead. Now that I think about it it's really the only one out there that I can think of so watch it. Make it profitable. White people watch it too because the characters are well developed on both an emotional and intellectual level. They can relate to these black characters.

@jmp85usa Private Practice is a very well written show. Little known fact: It was created by a black woman. The show is a spin off of Grey's Anatomy which was also created by the same woman, Shonda Rhimes. I was shocked to find that out after I watched Grey's Anatomy for years. It was unlike any other show created by a black person. Refreshing to say the least.

Finally someone who understands. I do not like the stereotypical media, worst part is the people who tell me about it are stereotypical people.

I can't understand what he's saying.

People are always blaming the media, however the media is a reflection of society. You can go to any majority Black neighbourhood and all you see are hot messes. That is 90% of them and sadly the majority run the show. Stereotypes always have some truth in it. If you have a messed up family, you have no one to rely on. Period.
