As a scientist, one of my responsibility is to point out effects that can damage our culture as a race of people. At the same time there are negative influences that is tearing away at our culture, there are other influences that is stimulating a positive effect. My point here is to interject a few of the negative influences; (1) establishing role models that turn out to be misleading
(2) Media portrayal of blacks as criminals, violent and irresponsible
(3) association of black culture with gay and lesbian behavior
There are more, but, these are used significantly by the white establishment to keep black culture down and in its pitiful place. The first example is when we look at role models like Eddie Murphy or Taye Diggs who become famous of support of the black community who turn around and get them a white woman cuts at the core of black love. The same goes true when we look at halle berry or Harris Faulkner who gets them a white man...these are example of #1 effects that cut against the progress of black culture. Then there is #2 which is largely used by the media since black people have little control over the news media though we have witness changes in the past 10 years with media control such as the Tom Joyner Morning Show and Rev Al. Sharpton speaking out.
Then there is #3 where white society tries to lump the concerns of black Americans and the homos*xual community all in the same bag. As if the defects in gays and lesbians are similar to black people being a defect culture. We must shun and avoid thinking that we are the same. More to come.
