How the world see you.

Ignorance has reached the digital age. In the past, the Black Community blamed “the media” for the negative portrayal of Black people. Unfortunately, there are literally hundreds of self published videos on YouTube and various other sites showing the worst of us. (Search Ghetto/Hood Brawls/Fights or Booty Shake) You will notice that correlation between level of ignorance and number of views. Some have millions of views and people commenting from all over the world. Generalizations are human nature. Some people with limited access to average Black people only know us through these types of images. If you were an outsider, would hire the kind of people you saw in these videos? Should we blame the people who post these videos or are they just the artist of our time documenting their reality?
