African American Stereotypes

The African American race has suffered through the toughest, and most difficult times throughout history compared to any other race, and even though they have gained more acceptance in this world, they are still victims of many hurtful and false stereotypes. From the beginning of time, African Americans have been seen as lazy and uneducated people. The media only rarely portrays the positive aspects/side of African Americans and their community, especially on TV news. People just take what they see on the news as facts, and therefore brainwash themselves into believing that the African American race is poor, uneducated, lazy druggies that are beneath the rest of the world, which is clearly not true. Many African Americans are just the opposite of that, but the media has taught us otherwise.
