• Bad attitudes, disrespectful

Stereotypes In Programes:

Jacqueline Mazarella as Ms. Vivian Morello, Chris's naiively racist teacher, and later his high school principal. Due to her apparent attraction to African American men, she holds a soft spot for Chris and tries to support him at every opportunity (such as giving him a Valentine's Day card out of sympathy, or giving him advice on running for the class president). In her efforts to be sweet, kind, and supportive, she makes statements that come off as racist - such as saying that "black people" must wake up and work up fields before sunrise, that they have tendencies towards vandalism, criminality and drugs, that they often lay use of lies and blackmail to rise in life, that Chris has no father and his mother is crack-addicted, and when Chris tries to tell her the truth, she assumes Chris is lying because "he is on drugs" -, most of which Chris tolerates. Chris Rock's narration often consists of him wanting to physically hurt her as well as making sarcastic remarks on her ethnicity as she does to him. It was revealed in Everybody Hates Chris that her full name is Vivian Morello.

Tichina Arnold as Rochelle, the intimidating, short-tempered, strict, cranky, serial killer, ghetto-snobbish and humorously sassy mother. As an example, in the episode Everybody Hates the Last Day, Rochelle once tenderly resolved a conflict between Drew and Tonya; immediately afterward, she took off her belt and instructed them both to "take it upstairs". In addition, she makes exaggerated threats of physical punishment, such as telling Chris how she'll "slap him into next week" in an imagination scene, Tonya asked "Where's Chris?", and Rochelle replied "Oh, I slapped him into next week. He'll be back on Tuesday.This gives the people watching the film a interpritation that chris's mum is a stereotypical strict black mother.



Steroetypes In Movies:
In this part of my blog i would show several examples of black people stereotyed in movies.

Stereotype In The News:

Black people are portraded in the news as very violent ,not smart and drug related. But over the last five or so years a number of black african americans are shown as smart and idolistlic for example the first black president barack ombama and denzel washington in his new movie,The Great Debatera,he was shown as smart and trustworthy in both his movies and comunity work.

The(1967) which portrays gorillas and orangutans that sound like black people.This negative stereotype is what children may remember when they hear someone speak with a similar accent.
