“The Future of Childhood in the Global Television Market” Courtney Banker Presentation 2 CMC 100
Lemish argues that the popularity of American television propagates American ideologies globally: While the popular show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air portrays a different, often marginalized section of American life—that is, the African American experience—it still maintains the stereotypes of black culture, and upholds the distinction between a black man feigning whiteness, and a white man.

Result: No matter how a man prefers to dance, there will always be a way his race is “supposed” to dance. No matter how successful a black man may be, even if he is a judge, he will never be regarded the same as a white judge. Do we really want to spread these messages to the world?
