Thousands of people gathered in Washington D.C. yesterday afternoon to take place in the 20th anniversary celebration of the ‘Million Man March.’

Never heard of it? The march was first called in 1995 to “unite black men and pledge self-reliance and commitment to their families and communities.”

Twenty years later its impact continues to be felt within the communities it set out to help and was celebrated by many an African-American entertainer when it took place again yesterday.

Critics are already projecting the sophomore slump on two of TVs favorite newcomers.

Despite their respective season 2s premiering to fantastic numbers, the Terence Howard-led FOX hit ‘Empire’ and ABC’s #TGIT junior ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ (Viola Davis) are seeing ratings get further and further away from their blockbuster openings.

‘Empire,’ which experienced its first ever drop in ratings last week, dropped even further this week as final reports reveal (despite still reigning as Wednesday night TV’s champion).  Elsewhere, ‘Murder’ didn’t exactly make a killing with its ratings either and delivered its lowest numbers to date.

For some she was the beloved child star who warmed the hearts of millions on ‘The Cosby Show‘ and on Disney’s ‘That’s So Raven.’

Alas, Raven-Symone‘s departure from the latter has since gone on to see her slammed by the very fans who once turned her into a household name.

Why? The star’s decisions to share her world ‘View’ which oft reflects that the star’s seemingly down to earth nature is just as farcical as her career as a working musician.

In fact, when one is able to look beyond said farce it becomes pretty apparent that the seemingly “chill” Symone is anything but, seemingly unaware that her “unique” points of ‘View’ are actually ignorant, bred in the warmth of privilege, stupidity, and if comments she made today are anything to go by…prejudice.

There is no shortage of male titans in Hip-Hop. Historically, despite testosterone dominating the rap landscape, said forces have been able to co-exist alongside one another. Indeed, with the recent release of ‘What A Time To Be Alive,’ Drake and Future proved that there is strength in unity. Though existing on different branches of the genre, they fused their talents together and earned chart-topping results.

But, while the public have no problem accepting a multitude of male Hip-Hop artists, it appears that masses can only affix their focus on one female rap star at time.

Tune in after the jump as we explore this reoccurring problem within the culture.
