199199, do you think it is not feasible?

when i think about the way tv impacted me,
i wonder if it was healthy.

i wouldn't want my kid watching tv until they had at least started to develop
their own critical thinking skills.

i don't like the way black ppl are typically portrayed on tv.
i don't like the way women are typically portrayed on tv.
i don't like the way new chanel's and talk shows frame matters of national and local interest.

i don't like the portrayal of cops, the military, foreign countries,
or minorities on tv.

i don't like most of the music i hear, or most of the videos i see.
and i think that putting a black child (especially a black girl)
plopping a black child front of a TV set would lower their self esteem,
give them an ideal standard of beauty that doesn't look like them,
and encourage them to accept assumptions about themselves and the world
that i don't think black children should accept.

maybe i'd let them watch soul train and michael jackson videos lol.

but seriously, i don't think it would be difficult to keep a television
away from my child. one of the first steps would be to not have a tv in the house (which i didn't have for many years.)
