"I agree with the last two comments. This is an extremely offensive video.
Rapping?! Are you kidding me? I viewed the other videos with the "white "
characters and they were tastefully done. Use of stereotyped behavior was
a turn off. This organization should be ashamed of itself especially
because you are supposed to be an educational resource and should know
better.

"I came to this site looking for help with my child and have to agree that
the message is very good, but it was quite distracting and a lot lost with
the delivery through racial stereo types. Slang, and the use of
conjugations are incredibly outdated. I was shocked to see it!

"I think you lose a lot of the information you are trying to impart by
using stereotypical methods of communication based on ethnicity. I assume
these characters are supposed to be African American due to the use of
incorrect grammar (slang), the color of their skin and the hideous
rapping, which is very disrespectful. As an educated African American
woman, I am offended by the delivery of the message in this particular
video. I have watched a few of the other videos on this site and did not
find them to be as offensive as this one with regards to the ethnicity of
the characters. It is clearly a disability and dis-service to us all if
this backwards thinking is allowed to continue to permeate society. The
information in the video could be a valuable resource, however it loses it
power due to the delivery of that message which is sadly, very
inappropriate.

ability to focus. Thanks "
