Editorial: When Celebrity Access GOES WRONG.

Contributor Mo Delgado (middle) with his son and wife.

Since the inception of the internet, American culture is becoming a worldwide culture. Now that anyone, anywhere can peer into the lives of the rich and famous it does 3 things: 1. exposes how messed up the lives of these "chosen" few are and how money and fame doesn't protect you from bad choices and its ramifications, 2. Overly exposes our youth to the lives and practices had by the celebrities they want to emulate, hence giving them a blueprint of how to look and act as if they were in that population. 3. Now this exposure also eliminates the desires for old school protocols to achieve that which they covet..who needs school when I can buy what I see?, why go to school when drugs can get me the money quicker than going to school? If everybody who I look up to didn't go to school and they made it, why should I?
Real talk...when Jay-Z, Baby, French Montana, and Rick Ross are your child's role models...College, Trade School, or Struggling wont be in the ready list of things to accomplish. While their children see Lawyers in their families and in their community circles as parents and neighbors or friends, ours depend on youtube, and Worldstar..WAKE UP!
