Stereotypes of black people-food

  The stereotypes of black people-

They love fried chicken

They either don't cook or cook a lot(they eat soul food. gizzards, cornbread, ham hocks, green beans)personally I hate all of those.

They stop anywhere they see food

They like kool-aid

They are poor

They all get food-stamps

They are dumb and read like kindergartens

They are ghetto

They cheat on each other

They have an STD because they're ghetto

They all live in a lone parent household

They like watermelon

They are criminals

They are gangsters (especially if their pants sag or they're walking through/near a run-down place)

They never have high paying jobs

They must be a hooker or "work on the street corner" if they are dressed nice

If they have a high paying job it's because they got a "connection" with someone who works there and didn't work hard to get where they are

They like braids or relaxers and HAVE to have them

If they have dreads then they're Jamaican

They have nappy hair [I know this is not true as in fact my own family we all have different curl patterns, my dad’s curl pattern is very tight like my brothers where my mother’s curl pattern is very loose which we would call coolie hair, so my little sisters have coolie hair and I am in the middle of the two.)

They all have big everything (lips, eyes, butt, wide hips, nose, head, feet, breasts, long breasts, etc.)

They love fake nails and weave

They have to wear make up

They smoke and/or do drugs (or sell them)

They spent most of their money on shoes

They have mostly black friends

They have ashy ankles

They voted for Obama and that's why he's pres.

These are only a small part of the stereotypes that black people face, even though some of the stereotypes are not technically a bad thing such as loving chicken it is seen as a negative subject that all black people love chicken just because of their race, but yet 95% of the UK population eat chicken every year but less than half of the UK population make up black people. In our protest, because we flip it around making black people shame other black people we talk about 4 main themes to do with the stereotypes black people face such as food, music, schools and prisons. Even though as the characters what we will be shouting contradicts the flyers that we give out e.g. one of my team mates would say "all they do is eat chicken" but we would hand out a flyer protesting that there are many black vegetarians out there growing every year. As you can also see in the examples of stereotypes and the Tre Melvin video that many of the stereotypes are (black and white stereotypes by tre melvin)deemed as violent and ghetto behavior which also leads onto the racist comment that is used a lot by the KKK that black people are "monkeys, wild animals and should be put in the wild".
