It would be interesting to see a study done comparing the likelyhood of a person ending up on welfare or in jail vs. the hours spent watching television as a child. I somewhat agree with your concern regarding cultural isolation. However, in far too many instances the television is serving as babysitter and friend instead of a learning vehicle. And the substitution of television for parent is causing a lot of other negative traits related to lack of attention and love. Kids really need parental time, and if the NAACP focused more of their effort toward raising awareness instead of pointing blame toward what they see as the wrongs of the white establishment, they might be a real focus of positive change for inner city kids. I remember when I was growing up in D.C. We never had much money, but we did play board games a lot in the evening. Scrabble was a particular favorite. Those were some of my fondest memories as a child. Recently my sister came to visit and the first thing we thought to do in the evening together was play some scrabble. I had to laugh when she waxed me again as she did hundreds of times in my youth. Michael
