A lot of the times when I'm watching tv shows or movies I have noticed alot stereoypes towards African Americans in the Media. For example, every time I watch a movie that has violence and gangs involved in it, the main characters are African Americans. This reminds me of a movie I watched a few years ago called "ATL." The movie is about two brothers who are living with thier unlce. The younger brother starts getting involved with a drug dealer and he starts to sell drugs. Things start to go wrong as the younger brother gets mugged one day and all the drugs are stolen. Now he owes the drug dealer a lot of money. The whole movie was around the theme of violence and drugs and gangs and mostly all the characters were African American.
Other examples can include that Africans Americans are all good basketball players or good dancers or good athlethes in general. The bad part is that people see this kind of stuff in movies and television shows and think it is true. That's when they apply it to their real life.
