In Chapter 3, "African Americans," a discussion of New Black Voices describes how people try, with new mediums of pop culture, to express their beliefs. Chuck D, of "Public Enemy," describes his goal as: "I'm trying to alert as many people as possible and that's why on my records I like to put noise on them. I consider them an alarm for Black-Americans." Do you think this form of expression and awareness is useful? Or do you think audiences focus more on the way these messages are portrayed (advertising, music videos, album covers) rather than the messages themselves? If you think audiences do receive these messages, and are not distracted by the “noise” in which they are delivered, are they being put to use?
ps- the text is getting a little better...
