Black women's portrayal in the media is negligent. When it is present it is often in demeaning forms. This has a very real impact on the way other people see black women in our society. It is important to broadcast more well rounded images of black women and though it has gotten better, it is not on par with the variety which white characters are able to demonstrate. There is a greater need for black women telling their own stories as well as white men to assist in the advancement of black women.
