Description:
Discuss how various races (Black, Asian, Jewish, Indian) are portrayed on TV, movies, social media, the arts and in the news. What is the impact of the portrayals/stereotypes? Critique why if one group does something negative, it is not negative if another group does it, i.e.: looting during an uprising. If a Black person is carrying a tv, they are looting, if a white person is doing it, they are protecting their property.
Who is influential in the media and who decides what is shown.
Use Bell Hooks books, Black Looks, Racialicious, and colorlines.org
