    the question here is simple. How important is the visualization of a community in media, in particular film? I have never agreed to the idea that black people must be visualized positively by white financed media. And that is the larger issue. Black people in the usa, whose forebears wer enslaved, legally, and never had unfair financial advantages, have pleaded within the system of government or the influential channels of media , to force white financed media to present black people more positively. but, from the jeffersons to a different world, the reality is, all those shows represent a very small minority of the black community in the usa. I come from harlem in nyc, most black people in nyc are not living in the situation of the jeffersons. Cosby was a doctor who lived in a white community.A different world represents a student body that is minority. Originally, the ban on black students in white schools, like yale/harvard/high schools in cities et cetera, forced black students to be in black schools, black high schools or black colleges. Thus most black people went to black schools. IT was the ending of segregation in schooling, which is an issue the black community fails to admit didn't have the agreement internally in the black community, that the white community suggested, that led to the exodus of black people from black schools. and thus black colleges. And as for women. it wasn't media shows that led to the rise of black women as the strongest gender/phenotypical group, it was the civil rights act. as firms learned that by hiring black women they covered multiple points in the civil rights act, system of categorization for firms, black women were hired at a very high rate compared to many other groups.
