As for the prevalence of stereotypes in this day and age- we know roughly what forms them (cultural differences or misconceptions of) but what can defy them? Personal experience? Spreading of knowledge? Is it only one-on-one experience that can make you think differently?
Also- as for blacks "demanding that they have a say" in entertainment- I don't believe this is so. Almost all of the entertainment at that time (as well as mass media following) was controlled by whites..
On the whole I truly enjoyed this; you really did your research and put together some nice clips. On the other hand, while the statements made about Obama were ridiculous, I think that it made this piece a tad too political. It may turn off some viewers early on when they may enjoy the information that follows.
The comments about him were also mirrored with Hillary Clinton- is America ready for a woman president? Do people not realize what they are saying when they ask these questions?!

Why didn't you credit the Blacking Up book by Robert C. Toll. You used an almost exact sentence from his book on pg. 3
