17. Racial and Racist Stereotypes in Media
Stereotyping arises out of the need to generalize in order to make sense out of a very complicated environment
Stereotyping allows people to easily categorize new things into comfortable spaces already defined in their experiences.

18. Why are we exploring this?
In Invisible Man, Ellison includes two symbols about the damaging power of prejudice.
Stereotypes and prejudice interfere with an individual’s ability to form an authentic identity.
The U.S. has a history of racial stereotypes
The narrator is limited by the society around him – are you?

First performed by George Dixon in 1834, Zip Coon made a mockery of free blacks. An arrogant, ostentatious figure, he dressed in high style and spoke in a series of puns that undermined his attempts to appear dignified.

Mammy is a source of earthy wisdom who is fiercely independent and brooks no backtalk. Although her image changed a little over the years, she was always a favorite of advertisers.

Toms are typically good, gentle, religious and sober. Images of Uncle Toms were another favorite of advertisers and "Uncle Ben" is still being used to sell rice.

The Buck is a large Black man who is proud, sometimes menacing, and always interested in White women.

25. Wench/Jezebel
