Stereotypes of African Americans
Stereotypes and generalizations about African Americans and their culture have evolved within American society dating back to the colonial years of settlement, particularly after slavery became a racial institution that was heritable. The early blackface minstrel shows of the 19th century portrayed blacks as joyous, naive, superstitious, ignorant, and musically inclined—characteristics related to the way slaveholders in earlier years believed them to be.
Such scholars as Patricia A. Turner note "stereotyping objects in popular culture that depict blacks as servile, primitive, or simpleminded and explains how the subtle influences of such seemingly harmless images reinforce anti-black attitudes".〔Patricia A. Turner, ''(Ceramic Uncles & Celluloid Mammies: Black Images and Their Influence on Culture )'' (Anchor Books, 1994).〕 As with every other identifiable group, stereotypes continue today. African Americans are often portrayed as violent, lazy and very religious. They also are portrayed as having a love of fried chicken, watermelon, corn bread, Kool-Aid, waffles, sweet tea, and grape drink.〔U.S. Department of Justice ("Two St. Louis Men Plead Guilty to Spraying Blacks with Kool-Aid" ), February 1995 Press Releases, February 10, 1995.〕〔Nance, Justin. ("Watermelin, Kool-Aid, and Fried Chicken" ), ''The Cub News'', March 27, 2010.〕
The idea of race in the United States is based on physical characteristics and skin color. It played an essential part in shaping American society even before the nation existed independently. The perception of black people has been closely tied to their place in the social strata of the United States.
