What is needed for our youth is a moral role model- be they educated or uneducated. What is sadly lacking in our society is a moral role model for our youth to look up to. Teachers, preachers,- use to be role models but with our pervasive culture of immorality and greed there are no real role models for our youth to look up to that are highlighted in the media. Yes I agree that a positive Black film is not the norm. I think the movie The Gospel put forth a good effort in its attempt, where we saw a young man turn his back on the trappings of this world and decided to make a moral and personal decision with his life. More films like this should be appreciated by youth- but sadly they wish to view get rich or die trying with 50 cent. They see this as the life to aspire to.
