That is true
We need to focus on black media as well so the good black men and black women can be represented more.
White media will never let intelligent black men and black women be properly represented.

Im into korean entertainment and i must say i admire them. All of their celebrities literally walk on eggshells. Koreans will gut and toss them for the slightest disrespect. If they even sniff that your trying to give koreans a bad look they will tear you apart, drop endorsements, you'll get fired from every show, movie, commercial.
You are correct. Without strong parenting many young black males will fall in between the cracks of society and emulate the caricatures that the media loves to promote. Now that you mention it I remember being the 7th grade and everyone being up on the Hot Boys. Like so many of my peers I wanted to be hot boy.
Looking back I shake my head at how ridiculous they look. As black men we should be collectively encouraging young black males that there is more in life to aspire to. There is definitely an agenda that seeks to keep young black males confused with the end goal of them being incarcerated or dead.
And meanwhile black celebs literally endorse the genocide of their own people
