While there is no single solution to this dilemma, the advent of new technology has allowed us to communicate globally like never before.

These negative portrayals do not at all represent people of color. These methods of stereotypical "branding" can be countered. For over 60 years our people have been fighting both oppression and stereotypes. Unfortunately we accept them through conditioning but we no longer have to be shown in this way. We can no longer contribute to the viscous cycle that is both the conscious and unconscious racism of the media, film and entertainment industries. We need to break the cycle and formulate a new industry that is more representative of the reality that truly represents both people of color and American society today. Black on Purpose Television will make a conscious effort to deliver content that is new, fresh and exciting. We don't have to feed into this cycle. We welcome your input as your ideas and suggestions help to make this a better network. Thank you for your time And enjoy!. Michael Campbell
