So all Black girls Shake their BOOTY

Had to write  my blog all over again because my laptop shutdown its self. AANNNYYWAAAY

How do you view yourself, how do others view you.... how do you want to  be viewed. Imagine you live in East-South of Nowhere and your only portal to life or other cultures and  ethnicity's' was set channels. The question we are to focus on for this weeks blog is basically does the media depict what or who we are in essence that is the question. I do not feel that media or any form of it can show who you are judging off of race or social  ranking. A lot that media displays is stereotype. My professor said while he was away teaching, only American streaming station was BET. Now i would not want a bunch of impressionable kids to think that every black girl in america displays and carry's themselves like what they show. Not all videos are bad but regardless of what they show I am not them.

Now I am a 20 year old Black female I am in school  and i am not shaking my back all crazy on tv. No not knocking what these young ladies decided to do as there profession but i do not need someone  thinking that i am okay with some man sliding a card down my back side. 

It is not just in the black community or things stereotyped  white people are too. They are painted to be this imagine of great riches and education. All white people are not rich or smart. They make you think all Mexicans are working as bus boys at some restaurant. 

Even the news when do you ever see some Hispanic or black on the news in a positive light... "Don't worry I'll wait" . Media shows a lot of stereotypes and very little real life or fact.

 Reality Shows as well i was just watching Keeping up with the Kardashins and Kim was crying over loosing her earring where there are kids not crying of the death of loved ones something so much bigger and her stupid earring was insured. I was disgusted i would not want to be viewed as an american like that past race color AMERICAN. I would think we were all materialistic if that is all I was being showed.  

As an African American I do not like they way my race is shown or viewed.  

Watch this and think....

note: this is not my best blog had to remember what I typed and do it over before ten.

I'll take POP CULTURE for 200 Alex!

In class sitting going over notes from the previous class then all the sudden you hear "POP QUIZ" get out some paper. I am thinking "OH NO" trying to mentally go over all of the notes and things we went over in class. Then the questions appear on the screen; Who is the famous for being famous person who just got married. Kim K. of course, next question What couple did TMZ report are separating after 13 years of marriage: Will and Jada. After three more questions I figured it was all pop culture questions. "Question number six" Who is the Governor I do not know I figure he is some old guy who probably wears some old boring suit. Needless to say we had five questions like this so it clicked in my head these are comparison questions POP CULTURE vs. POLITICAL CULTURE my peers and I are lab rats. We all did a lot better when it came to pop culture. Why is this?

I feel like the definition of news and need to know information has changed over years. It is no longer news to know the governor or who is on the supreme court but , to know which famous person has done what. I know in Pittsburgh that if the Steelers do anything  it is breaking news.  News stations are  longer are only source of where we get information. We turn to social sites and each other. For example when the earthquake happen I know myself personally did not go read the news paper did not turn on WPXI , but instead grabbed my phone and hit my twittter app. Sad okay maybe just a little , but it is the truth. As we grow and technology and entertainment what is are basic news is no longer considered news. For people my age we do not watch the news like we should. So the things that we identify are not probably what our parents would identify as news. It reaches down to a the lower generation the can recognize simple places like  fast food before Jesus.

I personally hate watching the news because it is the same sad song. Someone got shot, someone was found dead and some other crap that is desensitizing my generation,  We are so use to someone are age getting shot and dying its becoming the norm. I do not take time to read the newspaper and it is a flaw of mine with some many changes happening in the world I should be more aware but I am not. I rather watch someone spice up the news give us a different way to find out about it. That is not so harsh and heart breaking. Like the break in that happen I did not find out about that on channel four but on Youtube. 

Yellow Journalism is more interesting to me than boring old news that makes me wanna go find something to cheer me up

I am worried in where our generation might end up if we do not start taking notice to political news just as much as pop culture.

Do you pay as much attention to whats going on with the stimulus package to if  Kims butt is real?
