It's 100% the responsibility of adults. We should never wait for the media to tell us when to get up off our asses. That's not its responsibility. Community action is what our churches and organizations such as NPHC and the Urban League were founded on. Then we can rightfully protest social injustices and inaccurate media portrayals of us. But continued interest and action on our part comes first.

Because of responsible adults who were too informed and adament to let these protests and boycotts turn into social events.
