Q: What is the media image of a successful black man?

In the only media the kids consume, the gang-banger is the success story. Of course, they could also turn to media which go out of their way to be PC-certified when it comes to black men, but they reject such media images as propaganda from the Man (which, ironically, it really is).

I disagree. I don't think it is that blatant. I think they are measured successful by:

Sports
Money
Fame
Women

What does college have to do with any of that? I can't even think of a movie or TV show depicting black men in college.
