While writing my response to Blackmon's "(Cyber) Conspiracy Theories? African American Students in the Computerized Writing Environment" I didn't really know how to express my opinions. After reading other students' responses I was able to find an opinion that matched mine. Ronny's response reflects how I feel about this reading. People need to stop making excuses and do what they need to do to accomplish their goals.
As a white male am I supposed to feel bad for minorities for being less media literate? That's the sense I get sometimes when I read articles like this one. I don't feel bad. Some minorities make excuses for lack of success and feel entitled to benefits. This is something that really bothers me. As Ronny suggests, everyone is in charge of their own lives. If one wants to be media literate, they can find a way to be.
