I gotta say that I hate the way McDonalds and other companies can never do a regular commercial when it comes to black ppl. They can never do a straight down the line AMERICAN commercial, it always has to be hip hop or slang involved or that goofy ass brotha who got the R&B song about the McNuggets...those commercial offend me...

Mos Def! Just last week New York Giants' WR Plaxico Burress (African American) accidently shot himself in the leg, which was dumb, but its been all over the news...Theres a white NFL player with formerly with the Jacksonville Jaguars who killed a person under the influence of alcohol...you never hear that

Do you learn new things from tv and film etc?

Nah, nothing positive. Tv and film is a false reality, everything is fake...Its like watching a Budweiser commercial, everyone on the commercial is young, beautiful, with cut bodies and 6-pack abs...but the ppl who really drink it a big, bloated, out of shape with beer bellies!

How do commercials and advertisements influence you or what you buy?

They don't! You can only be fooled so much! That Big Mac on TV looks like HEAVEN, but when I go buy one its sloppy, dry, and under-sized...I think ppl are no longer fooled by the way commercials, and advertisments sensationalize their products

Do you have any suggestions on how to change the internet, tv, film, and what?

•Can you cite an example of how tv programs, youtube, or movies have offended you?
-I think it all has come a long way, but none that I can think of that has offended me personally. If it’s not to my liking, I just SMH and find something else to watch… and I love our black shows but sometimes we just get dumb ass storylines, er`go no ratings, then its cancelled…

•Can you name a specific one? And what was offensive?
-N/A…

•Do you think that the media portrays minorities in a dark light?
-I think that they always seem to catch us (minorities) in those bad situations, but at the same time we all have to be accountable for our actions and what we do and what you do in the dark, shall come to light minority or not. The media is always watching and waiting for one of us to slip up, then it runs all day every minute of every hour, but when one does good you don’t hear about that but one time and the story gets cut short…

•Do you learn new things from tv and film etc?
-It depends on the subject matter… and yea ICE, what not to do…

•How do commercials and advertisements influence you or what you buy?
-They always make it sound too good to be true, but If they market that product really well then you will have takers. There is a word for that but I cant think of it at the moment, lol..

•Do you have any suggestions on how to change the internet, tv, film, and what?
-That’s how folks make money. No matter how loud we voice opinions, what is the likelyhood we’ll be heard… and these “reality shows” Ha! are the worst but somehow we get sucked in…


WELL I HOPE YOU GRADUATE, IN MAY, ON THE 21st :-)!!!!!
