We have created this website for the purpose of raising questions, provoking thoughts, and exposing differences (subtle or blatant) concerning the treatment of African-Americans in the media. It is imperative that changes be made to ensure that African-Americans receive equal exposure and have a say in their future image.

This would not be a concern were there not such bias in the portrayal of African-Americans in the media.
