I chose this article because it tells me how the stereotyping of African American came about. How minstrelsy had a huge affect on how we see black people and the exaggerations that were made about black people during the minstrelsy performances. This journal is a study piece piece written by an African American, it isn’t that long but has a lot of useful information in a few paragraphs.
2. Czopp & Monteith, M (2006). Thinking Well of African Americans: Measuring Complimentary Stereotypes and Negative Prejudice. Basic & Applied Social Psychology. 21, 233-250.Retrieved on June 11, 2008 on http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?vid=5&hid=102&sid=1eeddf13-d718-4246-b9a2-f854732b27e5%40sessionmgr107
The reason I chose this article is because it not only gives me the negative stereotypes of black people but also the positive ones. Some negatives ones are like, “All black people do drugs” and the positive ones are like ” A lot of African Americans are athletic”. This article is a study piece, the author researched how negative and hostile people acted towards blacks just because of stereotypes they heard and how they assumed they were good at sports just because they were black. They also researched how non-colored people acted towards blacks when first meeting them and not knowing anything about them. The author wanted to see if the people would use their stereotypes to strike conversation.

In this article blacks and whites were compared. They did a research thing showing two pictures of African Americans and whites doing the same wrong deed and how the black people were more known for doing something wrong or illegal. I think this article is of significance because it helps a lot with why people stereotype and how much they do.
