Colored Girls Psychology

“ Some of these early productions have racial themes which reorganize the world in such a way that black heritage is rewarded over white paternity; they are schematic renunciations of the prevailing order of things in white American society where, historically, the discovery of black blood meant sudden reversal of fortune, social exclusion, or banishment.” (Gaines, P.3) Within the movie the amount of mistruths about African Americans was sad. Within the movie you notice that the blacks were always or seem to be yelling, acting uncivilized and doing

Before we pat them on the back, I must say I was scared for this film from the beginning. It started with the casting call for women. Separating the fair-skinned from the dark-skinned black girls, requiring

“How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie” also exposes the way the main character thinks of girls. He is only worried about how he can make himself come off to the girl in a false pretense that will impress her. The way he hides his real identity when he hides his cheap cheese and pictures shows he is not looking for the girl to like him of accept him, just looking for a physical reward in impressing the girl. If he was looking for the girl to like him, or a relationship beyond the physical level, he would want her to like him and accept him for who he is and how he lives. He also shows that he is not secure in himself when he says “Run a hand through your hair like the whiteboys do even though the only thing that runs easily through your hair is Africa” he feels like being white would make him better and the girl would like him more.

Race does not play a large role in this movie, which tells you a lot about the community the movie is set in. None of the characters in the movie are people of color. This tells the audience that the movie is dealing with an all-white, poor, rural community. This allows the audience to fill in information regarding this community based on what is already known about such communities.

Moreover, it shows the “true intentions” of the African American legislators to take away the populations helpless white women by showing them passing a bill legalizing intermarriage. It also depicts the African American people as unworthy of a fair vote because they cannot vote fairly as one man puts an extra ballot in when no one is looking. It also shows the African American population disenfranchising the white southerners, which never occurred. The movie also depicts the African American

The rest of the film is about the obstacles that main character has to face because of racist remarks against black people and stereotypes. I like the way the director exposed common stereotypes, represented in the movie as the

In America, we are known as the melting pot, the country of diversity, where citizens can be who they want to be. We can be who we want to be, and look at ourselves however we want to; but how are others looking at us? In many cases, an individual does not even have a chance to make an impression on somebody, because they have already been judged simply by their physical aspects. The controversy of one's color has been around since the beginning of time. In the history of the United States, the racism against African American's has put them through much oppression, and many walls have been built up over the years between African Americans and other ethnic groups. As a result of the barrier between these ethnic groups, the movie Jungle

There are African Americans, Latino’s, Caucasians, and Persians. This movie has these unalike characters of unalike cultures stumble upon each other during the film. Many of these characters judge the other based on their color,

The emotional reaction that the filmmakers intended for anyone who watch this film is that no matter what skin, hair and eye color is no one deserves to be labeled. No race should be discriminated and criticize. We should all get along and just be proud of where our roots come from. This film also intended for everyone who watch this film, is that there should not have to be obstacles to be proud of your own race.

As we were watching this film I could tell that there were many messages that the director wanted the audience to gain from this movie. One of the messages I got from this movie is that every single person is extremely similar however racial issues hold us back from discovering that. I believe the director wanted viewers to realize that stereotypes and discrimination keeps us from learning about one another. With the way things came

Even though the film was meant to funny, it did make me think about different cultural preduice and obstacles interacial relationships may face. Over all I enjoyed the film it poked fun at racial prejudice and brought some good topics to the table. However, I wish they would have take the opportunity to have gone deeper into racism and brought it out into the open for people to

“…And this is for colored girls who have considered suicide but are moving to the end of their own rainbow…” (Perry: For Colored Girls, 2010). For colored girls was first written and performed as a play by Ntozake Shange in 1977. It was then called “for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow was enuf”. Tyler Perry adapted and transformed it into a movie in 2010. For colored girls is centered on nine women as they encounter their fair share of neglect, abuse, pain and harassment both physically and emotionally. They slowly but surely recover from such abuse and discover joy in themselves. The movie begins with the characters as strangers but at the end, they become good friends.

The third controlling image of Black womanhood is that of the welfare mother, which is linked to Black women’s increasing dependence on the welfare state (Collins, 76). This time, the punishment is for failing to work. Rather than being a bad mother for deserting the children, now the concern is being with the children too much and not working. Again, by pinpointing the Welfare Mother as the cause,

This movie is amazing and inspirational to other young black women, it shows that you many struggle but if you keep going your dreams and hard work will be recognize. This film touch on the gender norms and racial norms, which has strong connection to the four reading I choice to critical review this blog. This movie has strong connection to the Gaga Feminism theory, the concept is “a set of wholesale changes that may be most obvious in the realm of gender norms but that also stretch too many other realms of everyday experience and that call for improvisational feminism that keeps pace with the winds of political change.” Hidden-figures proved that Black women can do whatever they want if they put their mind to it. This is breaking down what society has deem as the normal way of doing this.

Principally, the movie amazingly brings awareness of the structural racism in the government institutions through the wealth of a family. The monetary value of each household can impact life opportunities and outcomes. Many non-whites had their opportunity for a better lifestyle taken from them when our social institution favored whites by giving them more
