post #4 stereotypes

stereotypes had always play an important role in history.The pass of time is what builds up many of  them, in this case referring to the issue that black men and woman, and white women as well.The oppression,prejudice and racism.In the reading "The black male: searching beyond stereotypes", we come across the struggle of those who wanted to be on top.The dilemma back there was that the white men were on top followed by the white women, then black men and last black women.whites men wanted to keep their supremacy over the black men, thus they humiliated them by treating they just as simple slave and taking away their masculinity by castrating them.White women used to see black men as wild animals.The image they had of them was the one which put them as raping beast and last black women were oppressed by their husband which used to release their oppression toward their wives.There was a point consider as advance by black men the one when they obtain the right to vote in the fifteenth amendment,this last one changed the view of the scheme in society, because it put white women under black male and this issue generated troubles between black men and white women, while black women were fighting to raise their children and keeping their families together.
