What is media diversity for you?

Do you think it matters?

If you do not know your answer to these questions then you should listen to our episode today. Here I included a clip of a chapter from my latest audiobook What Did You Think was Going to Happen?

Below are highlights from my audiobook:

The call for diversity is an attempt to allow all parts of society to have influence over the media they consume. The call for diversity is both right and proper for the first amendment. Which affirms adversity and opinions and ideas as they relate to the citizens of this country.

When people speak of diversity they should be speaking not only of a diversity of faces but the diversity of ideas and the necessity to hear diverse voices. The diversity of ideas is the purpose of the first amendment. Without such diversity, they cannot be true freedom within a nation. The call for true diversity is not satisfied by hiring a few people and I mean only a few from an ethnic group to fulfill a quota that's not diversity.

The key that all parties agreed on was to maintain ownership in the hands of black citizens familiar with south central. Southcentral was made up not only of black people but had a heavy Hispanic influence within it. Their economic condition was similar to the black occupants of this community. Special programming was necessary for them also in order to fulfill our responsibility to the community as a whole.

When 90 percent of the media content in the United States is controlled by fewer than a dozen companies. There's no true diversity in the ownership of that media. The explosion of the black race from ownership is the exclusion of true diversity within media in the United States.

There are many reasons why we have a negative view of ourselves. This is partially due to the negative images that are continually portrayed in the media. The view provided to all of America is the same that black Americans get to see as we try to interpret who we are. Black-on-black crime at the street level is a manifestation a black on black crime at the political level. No one would expect the law to resolve their differences in south-central. The law is looked upon as an enemy by many.

I hope that through our episode today you will understand how the negative image of Black America was formed.
