Michael was every woman’s dream guy. His was hair black and had extremely short hair with a fade. His eyes were a crystal blue as clear as water. His lips were a perfect shape just about as plump and juicy as a ripe plum. His shirt was stretched so far you could see his biceps and pecs through anything. Tattoos were his addiction. He was walking proof of that. On his left arm was a memorial of all the family that was called home, as well as the name of his mom, Queen Amanda. The tattoos didn’t stop there on his neck there was a pair of lips, and on his right hand he had a tattoo that described his upbringing “Texas made” and “One deep.” His tattoos went on further than that, but the one that stood out the most was the year he blessed this world with his appearance, across his chest, “Established 1991.” The freckles all over his face were like seeds to the apple. The glow beaming from his skin was something like rich ,creamy caramel. Not to mention the shine coming from the bling on his ears was like getting blinded by the sun. Besides all the looks, Michael has the personalities and the
No, “Diary of a Stereotypical Black Woman” is not the name of an actual film by Tyler Perry. Considering the work succeeding his directorial film debut of Diary of a Mad Black Woman in 2005, it would be presumably safe to assume “Diary of a Stereotypical Black Woman” would possibly be a title within his archive of films. Though entertaining at best, this faux title represents an overall message that Perry has been presenting to his audiences since 1998. In both his line of plays and films, Tyler Perry portrays a repetitive historical perception of black women that is destructive to the image of actual black women. From the mammy stereotype to the weak and defenseless damsel in need of a man, Perry’s success through the perceived notions of

The culture of hip hop was created in the Bronx in New York City in the mid 1970’s. This includes the specific music genre of rap. Rap music focuses on the violence, racism, and hardships of poor black men who were prominent residents of the Bronx (Rhodes, H. A. ,2003). Another key theme to rap music is misogyny and sexism towards females. Since the creation of rap music, its popularity has boomed with the masses and become an extremely successful genre of music. Forbes magazine with Nielsen Music says, “R&B and hip-hop are now responsible for 25.1% of all music consumption in the U.S., while rock claims 23%.” Therefore, making this genre the most prominent in the United States (McIntyre, H. ,2017). The success of this genre comes with the prevalence of the message of misogyny and sexism towards women. Therefore, it is a good time to analyze if misogyny has led to the huge success of the genre of rap music.

Others simply “take the high road”, doing the right thing even if it’s not easy nor popular in a difficult situation. Most often we can’t help the labels which society places on us, we were born with the skin color we have, our values ingrained into us by our families, and so forth. Personally, I’ve faced stereotypes relating to my race.
