Look at the bigger picture: How often do YOU see the good, positive and cerebral endeavours
More than you'd expect, probably. Given that my main media consumption consists of Radio 4, the black people most prominent in my consciousness are Benjamin Zephaniah, Felix Dexter & Reginald D Hunter, all of them good, positive and cerebral. Of course, I also get exposed to very bad and negative types like Trevor Phillips and Diane Abbott, but I try not to let them colour my judgement of an entire racial group.
