Changing the Image of Minorities in Ameria

So the question is asked, “What will you do personally to improve the image of Black Males in America?” I believe by breaking the stereotype of black males will be a start on changing or improving the image of African American Males. With stereotypes, it tends to put a heavy label on individuals which becomes hinderous to success. So, the image of black males according to different sources such as, the news, and media in general, from displayed actions of some individuals; claims to think that black males have lack of male role models, simple-minded, behavioral issues, negative influences, and the list goes on and on. I know that, not everyone is alike in life. Everyone has a designated path they choose to follow and with those choices becomes your future. I strongly believe that every African American Male has the ability to be notwithstanding to critical judgments and prove critics wrong. To improve these barbaric analyses there should be a mentoringship program that helps black males finds out who they are and help them obtain desired goals. Which we do have but the organizations are few. This program could be a very beneficial asset to the communities and most importantly the individuals striving for success.
In society we see media presenting African American Males as animals, want-to-be gangsters, rappers, living in low social economical environments, and vice seeking. It is not totally the media fault for the poor representation of blacks in America but, it is a start towards where the vain message is occurring. Some black males even uphold or even take pride of stereotypes as if they have accomplished something significant. While on the topic of black males being portrayed by the media, I’m not too sure on why the media focuses their attention on the negative inducing news but, generally bad news makes good news for a newscast.
As for what I’ll do, I will set myself up as demonstration to show how black males can fight off stereotypes and criticism.
