The stereotyping of Black Men is apparently acceptable if you dress it up in 'academic language'-black men know differently, if you want to call me the 'n' word just do it...then we can deal with it on a level playing field

The ‘Coon’ Caricature


• Derived from raccoon.

• 3 types- pure coon, pickaninny and uncle remus

• Most derogatory stereotype.

• Black men depicted as lazy man-child.

• To blame for own position.
