The Opinion section offers different perspectives on pertinent issues in the Black community and America as a whole. These issues range from Blacks in politics, education in the Black community, and Black community leaders in an effort to cast a positive light on issues that are often overlooked by the mainstream media.
The mainstream media has often portrayed African American men in a negative and stereotypical light, which has had a negative effect on younger generations of African American men. Often, the only portrayal young Black males see in mainstream media is the violent, misogynistic and thuggish African American that has become the stereotype for many who are not accustomed to the educated, white-collar, professional African American man that is sometimes overlooked in a society obsessed with negativity.
