OOPS, We forgot to add that! (Blog3)

I think that the editiing of this interview was totally wrong. Portraying a 4 year old boy as a wanna be gun carrying killer. Why? this is how mainstream America veiw young poor African American men. After watching and listening to th interview, the reporter clearly did some editing of his own because right after the little boy said he wasnt scared of anything, the reporter was "Damn " your not afraid of anything huh? Wy as an adult would you say this to a young child whose parent was no where around.

As a BLACK woman, our race has always been know to be lazy, ignorant, disrespectful and so forth. But with interview its typically stating that this young child is growing up in a neighborhood of drug dealers, gang banger and killers, and its ok to follow in their footsteps, on the cut verson of the interview. But on the uncut version it shows a brave young boy not afraid to admit at a age as young as 4, that he is not scared of anything, and the reason he wants to have a gun is to be a police officer, which the child knows that the police are doing some kind of good with their guns and not just killing off the young black men.

I would like everyone to just take a moment and think to themselves, first why is this reporter questioning these children about an issue such as a gun?, knowing the situation which occured prior to the interview. Also, the fact that this child stated that he wanted to become a police offiecer when he got older is a sign that kids have other dreams beside being  drug dealer or gang banger.

You cant believe everything you hear and/or see because the media will take your words/image right out of your mouth and turn it into a situation that makes the media looks good and the people of certain neighborhoods look bad. Always seek out the truth for yourself because the media will portray you as the bad guy each and every single time.
