Black Stereotypes (new extended version)

The producers do not tolerate or support hatred or racism in any form. This film merely illustrates how blacks have been portrayed by filmmakers in the past.

Here's my latest version of "Black Stereotypes" filled with many new scenes and some old familiar ones.

Every race, ethnicity, creed, gender, lifestyle, etc has it's stereotypes. Gay interior decorators, Chinese laundry, Hispanic gardeners, Irish cops, Italian gangsters, etc...

These images are just a small sampling of how black people have been portrayed on a daily basis for many, many years.

All of the clips used in this film were shown regularly on television up until the mid 1980's. Many episodes of the Little Rascals have been "ethnically cleansed" over the years. Some 20 minute episodes were edited down to a mere 8 after removing all racial images/slurs, while several episodes were removed completely from the series.

All of the movie studios of the time, both big & small produced live-action films and cartoons portraying blacks in this manner. Theaters in the South would cut out any scene of a black performer that was not shown as a slave, servant or as comic relief.

These films are a product of their times and provide visual documentation of how society, "kept the man down".

Has anything really changed so many years later?
Let's hear what you have to say.

All comments are unmoderated in order to sadly expose the hate and ignorance that still exists.

Why did you include a picture of a monkey at 2:32....

@MegaMowse Blacks were constantly compared to moneys and chimps back then. As an example, when Spanky rubs a lamp and wishes for Stymie's little brother, "Cotton" to become a monkey, he says, "Well, all he needs is a tail".

maybe it's because it's 3 AM, but i'm an educated young man of mixed race and i didn't get about 90% of this video...

cab calloway and some of these days is great music for this video. cartoons featured here remind me of cartoons on tv in the 1950s and with similar music and i was very entertained. i was too young and inexperienced and did not see the negative stereotypes.

[fg6971]

what about the white stereotypes? ma and pa kettle movies,the beverly hillbillies,in the heat of the night,the dead end kids ,ect . blacks are not the only ones stereotyped.

on a lighter note much of what i vewed here looks like comedy and or cartoon humor like popeye cartoons that featured stereotyped whites.

on not a light note, the current capitalistic society has produced the haves and have notwhich needs poor people kept dependent to perpetuate. less poor people=less rich people.

In May 1999, two films came out here in Australia. One was the Phantom Menace and the other was an Italian language film "Life Is Beautiful". Despite the Italian film being much better by both fans and critics (the film won three Oscars), The Phantom Menace was out showing Life Is Beautiful in Australian cinemas by as much as 16:1. Italians living in Australia called it "racism" but most called it "common sense" as a cinema costs real money to run and you need hit films to keep them open.

[darkangel2347]

Racism still does exist in todays TV shows and movies and if and how frequently they are are aired on TV or on a movie channel or in a cinema. But it is largely invisible to us now. unless you know what to look out for. Obvious racism, unless it an integral part of the program and cannot be removed is no longer present now.
