The history of African-American magazines

The African-American magazines or black magazines are a source of information and entertainment for the community with a sense of identity, which makes it the most precious of all publications. For some African-American magazines or black magazines are considered as a source of discrimination in reverse. There is a segment of blacks who are of the opinion that African American magazines or black magazines have been used by blacks to separate themselves from the rest of the community and would only lead to reverse discrimination in the community. The most demanding of critics are of the opinion that this perception could not be further from the truth because the magazines blacks are more of a necessity of the African-American community, rather than an exercise in discrimination.

The wonder of communication - the black magic

The black community uses the black magazines as a media to communicate and circulate exclusively black related issues but at no stage does it communicate hate for other communities so reverse discrimination can not be further from the truth. The mainstream magazines do not cover African American issues - whether it is police brutality or civil rights issues. On the contrary the mainstream magazines focus primarily on all white issues and rarely if ever focus on African American issues making it even more important for the black community to publish black magazines. It 'should believe in the black community excludes the whites from the black magazines - the reality is that when black issues whether civil rights or otherwise have faced the whites would be excluded just as when mainstream magazines are published the blacks are naturally excluded

Cultures come together

The concept of having black magazines like Jet Magazines is not racial - it is cultural - to have a all black magazine with all the problems faced black is not racist because everyone is invited to comment or read - making it cultural rather than racial. To illustrate - a Chinese restaurant serving all Chinese cuisine by a Chinese staff is just racial - it is cultural. Journals blacks are known to be supported by American companies - Coca Cola, Wal Mart and the like. This only further reiterates that the black magazines are an asset to the community of blacks, no racial or antipathy considering that corporate America would not support a racial movement - regardless of whether they are making a profit off of these black magazines.
