The document discusses stereotypical portrayals of African Americans in media such as television, news broadcasts, and music videos. It notes that African American men are often depicted as athletes, musicians, criminals or unemployed, while women are shown as the "Mammy", "Jezebel", or "Sapphire" stereotypes. The document also examines how the overrepresentation of black criminals on news can prime viewers to associate African Americans with crime and how negative portrayals may impact the perceptions and ambitions of young black people. It suggests increasing representation of African Americans in creative and decision-making media roles to help improve these images over time.
