The videos we watched in class this past week were pretty shocking to me. You always see these ads and things on tv and in magazines, and you know that yeah, there is a half naked women here, or yeah the black man would be the one who is the bad guy, look at this picture to the right for example. you laugh anyway even though you know its wrong, and then you push it to the back of your head and forget about it. But when you really think about it, its horrible. Its just like giving white men and men in general the power even in ads and movies.
I agree with sarah with the point she brings up, that most people would see this on google and laugh. Then they would just forget about it, but I think about that and I just shake my head in disappointment. Most ad's are promoting the wrong message and if it continues, then none of our nation's problems will be sovled.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with this post. Most people would see this, laugh about it and then put it in the back of their head. We are stereotyping black people by always making them the bad guy in all types of situations, and I think its wrong.
ReplyDeleteThis picture is shocking. I can't believe that we put people in these categories. Women as the sex symbol and black people are labeled as the "bad guys". Even though we have come far from sexism and racism I don't think it'll ever go away.
ReplyDeleteWOW Sarah you i never seen that before! thats something else..it definitely proves what that professor said on the video to be true..thats all i have to say..
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sarah's blog. She makes a very good point that we make stereotypes with race and gender. The picture she found online was a good example of how that is found as a joke, but it is actually not. Stereotyping black men vs. white men is what causes a lot of problems not only today, but in the history of America.
