That melanin though!

***I did not understand the question for the HW at first, so this may seem off topic. But this is what I did. So yeah***

In the media, black people are often put on as bad people who kill one another, gangsters, plain out ignorant and dumb. In my opinion, the media is merely a reminder and a form of promotion of how black people are expected to act. I often ask "why is it that the only black history we learn about is when blacks were slaves and segregated against. We never learned about when black people were kings and queens. Never were we taught about our history that took place before African Americans were kid napped and became slaves. Therefore, this is all we know (well most of us). Because of the fact that the true history of African Americans is being swept under the rug and there is this constant negative image being promoted about blacks, leads me to believe that there is a great deal of African American history that if found out about, could lead blacks to our full and comets freedom. There is clearly something about blacks that is so great, we are feared due to our uniqueness that cannot be explained nor copied. I do not believe that blacks are fears because of how the media puts us out to be, we are feared because of how much power we hold. That melanin though ;)
