"Break Into the Music"

My experience at Break into the Music seemed to lack the excitement of the original Hip-Hop Summit. I felt as though the student body and organizers let low morale because this was not the event of yesteryear interfere with the event of today.



With that said, the session I attended that I enjoyed the most was "Media Solutions". The session consisted of an open discussion about the current state of the media, the images it presents, and how it can improve. Everyone present weighed in on how the media does a terrible job of representing black people, how BET sucks, etc, etc.



But, you know, I AM TIRED OF HAVING THIS CONVERSATION!!! If we all feel this way, we need to TAKE ACTION. If you do not like the programing on BET and in your opinion it's demeaning shows should be taken off of the air: DON'T WATCH IT or SPEAK UP! Write a letter to the network. Or even better, write a letter to the FCC; every letter they receive represents 5,000 viewers.



I have had enough of problems, I am ready for solutions. If your not part of the solution, your part of the precipitant.
