The media has a ground-breaking impact in the ordinary musings and lives of Americans. Most Americans get up in the first part of the day and turn on the TV to see what’s going on the planet as they prepare for work; get a paper and read it with breakfast; turn on the radio and hear it out in their vehicle while in transit to work or school; or we do a blend of the three.

Comedian, 2.) Angry/Jaded, or 3.) Gangster/Thug. Do we as the watchers ever wonder why dark guys appear to get so embarrassingly over-pigeonhole?
