Black people are the INVISIBLE PEOPLE in the media, by and large, unless it relates to the negative side. [/i]

I agree, and understand...it's like my dear friend who got killed in a car wreck barely rated a mention in the newspaper, but the judge's daughter who was a pretty and popular cheerleader got a color pic on the front page and streets renamed after her.
I'm not trying to take away from the Black slant on the issue, but I definitely understand the "invisible people" factor.
