because we have ratchet entertainment, we are now downtrodden. And once we have wholesome entertainment, then black people will be doing great.

Also not even arguing that whether this is the root cause or primary cause for where we are today.

I think we are all grown up enough to know that the current state of black people is the product of many factors, historical and present, combining to create a gumbo of disparity between us and the rest of America in certain regards.

I am wondering once you stipulate all that, does the negativeness negatively affect us in any form or fashion.

Folks have no problem saying the model magazines contribute to girls having eating disorders.

Is it allowable that the negative entertainment has some sort affect on us?
