Ppl talk about the lack of celeb role models for young black males, but how about young black women?

[Mr. Somebody]

When parents dont care about the childs future, neither does the child.

Even legit mafia bosses have degrees these days.

Its so demonic, friends.

 

[TM101]

Are you their manager or something?

1. How could I manage a defunct group.

2. I was answering the OP's question. These two were the closest to being a positive, mainstream influence for black girls. I'd rather have young girls listening to them than twerking to Rihanna

People complain about the lack of Black celebs today who put out a positive image for young black males as opposed to what we had in years past, and I agree with that to a point.....seems we had a better mixture in the past with more positive role models, positive TV characters, etc

But younger black women nowadays have even less to pull to from, and many (who grow up fatherless or with irresponsible fathers) are learning about relationships, MARRIAGE, male/female dynamics from women like these


Add that to the Instagram culture that inherently teaches a bad message and all you can do is at where things appear to be heading

Who talks about the lack of black male celeb role models?

Celebrities are suppose to entertain not db role models

I was waiting for you because I knew you'd say some mess like this.

Every celebrity of every race is an influence on some sect of society. It's just the way it goes and there's no shirking the responsibility in that regard.

It just so happens that in the 80s-90's when we had positive black TV shows(black shows period), singers, positive rappers to balance out the gangsta rappers, etc., the youth had more to look up to/aspire to.

You're not gonna tell me when you see kids dressing like rappers and getting tattoos like rappers that tehy dont influence the youth.

Who were the positive role models of the 80-90s and how exactly did they balance out gangsta rappers?

Celebrities start fashion trends. so what??? That's harmless

This is why you have to raise your children... don't just leave them all unsupervised in front of the tv. That's like letting the media raise your child. There was a stat that claimed that black children watch way more tv than their counterparts.

A lot of kids only role models are the ones they see on tv....and now online.

 

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

There's plenty of relatable role models in history and literature, so tell these dense ass boys and girls to read a book and hone dat imagination



Listen to the words of the theme song

I can't even listen to that song the same way after hearing the dmx remix.

 

[Theraflu]

My children won't be allowed to watch television or own a mobile phone till they are 16.



I'm hoping to raise them purely on intellectualism lets be realistic black culture today is garbage.

There's only so much that people can dictate to artists and entertainers
