My social problem is appropriation of black women or the negative image of black women in media. I chose this text as a social issue because it's in relation to my every day life. I like it because it quickly explains the message enough to even those who do not understand or are unfamiliar with this social issue can easily understand the authors message even if they do not agree with the message. It's interesting because this meme briefly went viral on twitter and any one who disagreed felt as though it was due to insecurities and not because of how black women are negatively portrayed in media. It made me realize that I should help spread awareness not just for black women but our younger generation to live in a more comfortable world. To take action by not promoting the problem in media through likes and retweets. To educate those around me little by little to promote change in media because my generation is taking control over media. Its changing for the better as time passes along.
