Some critics argue that the five stereotypes of African Americans found in early cinema (the Coon, the Uncle Tom, the Mammy, the Tragic Mulatto, and the Black Buck**) can still be found in contemporary Hollywood films. Can you think of recent examples of at least three of these stereotypes? [Paraphrased from question No. 1 on page 95 of the textbook]

**CoonUncle TomMammytragic mulatto [the “black buck” stereotype is so problematic that I could not find a website with an acceptable definition so I had to resort to Wikipedia: “According to popular stereotypes during the post-Reconstruction era, “Black Buck” was a black man (usually muscular or tall) who defies white will and is largely destructive to American society. He is usually hot-tempered, excessively violent, unintelligent, and sexually attracted to white women.[1] Most often, any attempt to restrain, reprimand, or re-educate the individual will fail, necessitating the individual’s immediate execution (usually by lynching).”]
