Unfortunately, this type of Black man has become an anomaly in our society . When you turn on the TV or read the paper, do you see the man you speak of above or the one that is portrayed in this "game"?

We can't blame anyone else for that. We are the ones perpetuating this myth at every turn, so how can we get upset when "others" believe what we've been telling them about ourselves? When I say "we", I'm talking about those Black people who have a voice in this world and use it to do nothing but perpetuate that negative image. "Ghetto" sales. "Middle class and educated" doesn't.
