Racism was something I cope with in high school but made it difficult. The racism in the media is corrupting the young mind and changing how blacks are viewed. Hear is my idea of how to fix and the problem within racism.
Racism came across me when I was in high school. The teacher didn't care about my education and not taking out anytime to work with me or show how to improve my grade. The idea of not caring came to my mind just giving up but then she would be in control of my fate. I just had to understand that she was just a teacher and I a student.
The media has corrupted the mind of the young black youth making us wanted to be gangsters or killers etc. and what! to only end up on the street. The black people are the many ones corrupted. I think that white people know that and allow rappers to still sing or rap and its like are we about change or not. The main reason why so many black people have this thought about making money and trying to live that good life knowing that there life isn’t right. But without the murders of people everyday there would be no judges, lawyers and policeman, there would be no black athletes, actors, or the many other things that you need us for. The media corrupts us by saying we can be like all the other black athletes or rap artist but its not as easy as they say it is some of them getting their on a blessing. The racism in the media is destroying community and I feel that some white give off this vibe that makes it hard for me to me. When I know I have been polite and superb but look at my skin and not by my character or actions.
The next question probably is how do we act on it we fix the media stop lying to people and tell the truth about how they came to be a rapper or athlete in the world that why when a black person goes to a school he is all alone why because were so caught in the media that we don't see what is really needed t be a successful rapper or black athlete in the world today. To many people don't tell you that if you get injured you might needed a back up plan and I am not telling you if we come straight forward they won't be surprised but a least they will know. That why I like hearing how some of the NBA players tell their story of how they overcame their ordeal and were blessed with a talent telling us that it is not easy and that education is important.
The main thing about racism is that it a choose either your going to hate me for my skin or the aspects of my character. But I would rather be about my traits then my skin, because then it doesn't feel like your just making a stereotype that seen he's a black kid he is easily influence or in a gang so hey! Judge me by my character not by my skin for you may like what is deep within.

Lee,
I think I know what you are talking about but it is unclear and your point is getting a little lost with the image. It doesn't seem to speak to what you are saying. Please consider revising it.
