Rap and Hip-Hop originated in the 1970’s in New York City's South Bronx neighborhood as a street-born cultural movement which is known for DJ-ing (using a turntable as an instrument by manipulating songs and creating sounds while spinning vinyl records on the turntable), MC-ing (Rhyming and lyrics spoken at a fast pace), breakdancing or b-boying (athletic style of street dancing), and graffiti art. By the 1980’s, hip-hop was the primary cultural movement of the African American and Hispanic communities

The news industry continually perpetuate the negative stereotypes of African Americans. It has happened so often that now, unfortunately, it has to be expected from them and any hope of change would need to happen with serious social change behind it. The one saving grace in society has been the way it entertains itself. A common belief that we have accepted in this day and age is that the entertainment and advertisement industry has gotten better for the African American community. Several respectable

Gladwell makes some decent points about success and opportunity, but he doesn’t include women in his research, doesn’t focus on other minority and culture groups, uses data that is far from recent. He also only looks at success as money. In Michiko Kakutani’s article, she says that Gladwell uses research that isn’t representative and outdated. Michiko also talks about how Gladwell’s information is mostly based on ideas and opinions. He tries to restate an obvious thing and make it seem like more

Written, directed, and produced by Tyler Perry, For Colored Girls is a film, adapted from Ntozake Shange’s poem of the same name. The film is an interconnected depiction of the lives of several African-American women who all have a specific struggle. In this specific scene Chrystal Wallace, an office assistant, and representation of the color brown, is holding her children and having a conversation with her abusive boyfriend, Beau Willie. Beau makes another attempt to gain Chrystal’s hand in marriage

Tyler Perry’s The family that preys This is a good family movie that can show the viewer’s how some people prey on one another. This movie reminded me of the times my brother and I didn’t get along. It shows how different families are and how they treat one another. Sadly this movie also shows how family members can be so cold blooded. This movie duplicates real life situations where innocent People get hurt, family loyalty gets divided and couples end up in divorce. This movie is centered on

My most memorable childhood event was when I was 15 years old. It was the Fourth of July. A big family vacation a barbeque, over night stay and out of town trip to six flags, and I had a blast the night before me, my mom, sisters and brother packed our bags to stay the night over my cousin house in Goodlettsville ,Tennessee. She had the biggest house ever I thought it was a mansion; six bedrooms two an half bath, a swimming pool, a game/movie room with a nice big kitchen. It was something that I

represented by my drive to force a smile on to other people and to empathize with others. Anesthesiology appeals the most to me due to the heroic men and women in my surgery room maintaining a calm and painless process into my eight-hour sleep. Katy Perry and goofy doctors gave the reassurance that everything will be okay. Aside to my serious goals, I enjoy fantasizing about living a luscious life with paparazzi following my every move. I also find writing my own novel about my two friends and I very

Black images play a big role on television not just for adults or the world in general but to the youth. It shows the kids that you can be black and do something positive. In the 1940’s psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark came up with an experiment for black children to see the effects of segregation. So in the experiments the doctors asked the black children which dolls look more like yourself? The results was either the kids started crying or they ran out the examination. Then also during the

experience. However, as this remains to be true, why is it that since people are in fact viewed as individuals, do they not put as much emphasis on loving thyself as opposed to loving others? As seen in the motion picture, For Colored Girls, directed by Tyler Perry; The lady in red played by Janet Jackson once says to her husband, “I loved you on purpose.” Cognitive reasoning can bring one to the conclusion that the character felt as if the love she had for her husband was more so instinct or forced behavior

The False Portrayal I would like to address the current societal image of the African American women that is being portrayed in modern American society. Also, to address certain stereotypes of African American Women that are created by motion pictures, music entertainment, and other media outlets. I will also share my perspective as an African American Women and my experiences meeting other women of African American background to prove that that these stereotypes do not always
