Ebony Magazine

       While looking at the cover of the magazine of Ebony this at first look to me as a positive covers. Because you can see that their are picture of some important people and actors. The people are dressed really pretty and looking happy and smiling in some of the picture. This magazine is intended to the black people during that time of the years. Later on looking at the covers of the magazine I started to look at the letter in the magazine and some of it really got to me. I was thinking that some of the caption on the cover of the magazine are not right. Such as the picture looks great and the writing has something else on it. I want to put some out their so you can see. In the 1945 cover it has picture of white children and one black child and the writing says "children's crusade" what does that mean their their is only one child that is black but the other are white and what kind of crusade is their. The other one that I saw was in 1952 where it show that Buke say that most exciting woman I know and in small caption it says " white by day and black my night" to me I think that was not right for what they had wrote their and it like saying about the race. the other one I saw was by Lois armstrong when he says " why I like dark woman, and it says what wac's do for love" I am not sure what it means by wac's do for love but it showing some kind of bad things about black. To me I was thinking that it a magazine about black it shouldn't have this on the cover pages because it making them look bad and I think that they should be putting up some pictures and caption of the black in a good way not putting bad things. At first I had thought it was cover of positive things but later on getting really deep into it and looking at the writing it got to me it can be positive picture but the caption are negative. But I do see some famous and actor in the image. Their are people that did good like Martin Luther King pictures, Malcolm X, Louis Armstrong, baseball players, singers and actors that are a part of the covers. I am thinking that Ebony is a magazine for a black person they should put up some positive and maybe less of negative things up on the cover. Yes I know that when putting up magazine people will read the cover and they would want to buy it to read depth into it when their are negative things on it. Like now a days when getting a magazine any kind their are negative things are pictures of actors braking up and not being together and people see it and want to buy it or read into it and to me I understand why people put that on the cover. I would pick up thing in the store and read about it my self. But I see in some places why Ebony has good picture but the writing is not good because they want to sell the magazine out to people so they can make business. 

Movie of a Black Families on Television:

        When I was growing up I would watch The French Prince of Bel-Air with my brother and sisters and they would laugh to it and I would always asked them why they are laughing. They would say when you grow up and watch this you will understand right now we can't explain. When I grow up I started to watch it also and I really enjoyed it because it a about a family and it is comedy I love movies or show that makes me smile or laugh. So while watching this on you tube I really enjoyed it. This video has good parts and bad parts in it. This clip that I have put is about a black family being together and enjoying their day with each other. Each of the family are their for one another and helping each other out. They all get along with each other but at times they don't but every family is like that. This family is open with each other and they share many things. I remember the part when the aunt and uncle are on top of each other, and Will comes down and he start to scream saying he is coming down. The uncle is explaining to Will what they are doing and it not the other thing that he is thinking. The other thing that I saw in the video is how the family member all sits together and they are watching Television together as a family and making comments. That so beautiful now a days you don't see that and it makes me sad wishing we can go back to that kind of thing. Also the family members show each other tricks and they eating breakfast together and the mother prepares it for them. This was such a good video. What I have seen in video and real life is true. I have a black friend and I have been over her house a lot. The family is always together while doing things. Also they are really fun people to be around they make you laugh and tells you jokes. I really enjoy when I go to my friend house and a times I even tell my family we should do things like that.

        The Negative things that I have seen in the movie makes me sad and think that it really shouldn't be in the movie. The other thing in the clip was when they try to make people laugh at time but it not right and doesn't look good. He put chopsticks in his nose and looks around. To me I wouldn't like it and appreciate it when someone does that because they are not putting a good look into other people eyes they are making them self look bad. People would think that " Oh black people does steal or does that because it shows it in the movie." In this clip what I saw and I didn't like was that when Will was stealing spoons from the cabinet I think that shouldn't be in the  clip because it was showing that black people steals things. Also the other thing was that when will and his brother goes into someone else house and they are not invited or welcome and looks for things and that is when the video stops. In this video I think that it is not only black people who are bad and does these things many different people from different nationality has problem like this. But in video when I see this it make me sad and I think that is why people are blaming the black people for this because they see it. I would say that everyone has their own problems and it not only putting finger to one person or family.
