Page 4: Black women and how the are portrayed

how does the images of black women portrayed on tv effect me

• It makes me feel embarrassed that millions of people watch us as we conduct ourselves as women that don’t have respect or class for others

• It makes me fell sad for the children of these women, because sooner or later the children will see the negative way in which their moms are being portrayed

• It concerns me that most people who view these types of shows will develop a negative impression about black women and how we behave
