Black Stereotypes Microsoft Sway Presentation.Pdf Black Stereotypes Project by Jermaine Windham In this project, I will focus on the idea of the black stereotypes in the black community. The black nerd, black thug, and brute stereotypes will be the most prevalent in this presentation. These stereotypes are reinforced and given creation through African Americans' portrayal in the media. Because of these stereotypes, blacks are forced to feel as though they have to act a certain way in society pressuring them not be themselves. This makes it hard for some blacks to fit into their own community and it strips away a person’s individuality. We, as a community, must learn to accept others for the way they are and uplift each other for being unique. We must understand that the media's portrayal of cultures is not always accurate and cannot truly define who people are. My main goal in this project is to try to recreate the black community to be more accepting of individual thought and personality by showcasing what blacks have offered into the media versus what we can offer to the media. I also would like for people to understand that the images of people seen in media do not define an ethnicity because we are all different. I will focus on how the media and the perception of the black image affect how individuals try to fit into society. I want to open up the minds of people in the black community so that they can be more accepting of people who are perceived to fit into the black nerd stereotype or are just out of the ordinary when compared to the generalized image of an African American. This is all to allow for African Americans to not feel ostracized by their own community, but for them to realize that they do belong and that it’s okay for them to be themselves. 1 - What is a black nerd? A black nerd is characterized to be an African American that resembles a nerd. Someone who is nerdy, geeky, wears glasses, can be considered socially awkward, wears "nerdier" clothing (like button-up shirts, jeans, etc). In media, the black nerd is often the character who is made fun of and used as a joke. African American men who fit into the black nerd stereotype appear to be less masculine because these traits given to the black nerd are the exact opposite of the token image of black Americans that the black community has become accustomed to. 2 - To give further insight... I will give examples of African Americans in media who resemble the black nerd stereotype in the black community. Starting with the comedians, Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele, they are two of the most recognizable black nerds in popular media today. They are the creators of the successful Comedy Central sketch show, "Key and Peele." They tend to do comedy sketches, with most times, focusing on creating humor from black ideas, tropes, etc that exist in the black community. 3 - "Obama was the best thing for black nerds everywhere. Finally, we had a role model..." According to CNN, Jordan Peele told news reporters, "Before Obama, we basically had Urkel." In light of Barack Obama's presidency, he made it more acceptable for black intellectuals and black nerds to be recognized as competent people rather than jokes to be ridiculed by society. (Toby, Mekeisha Madden). Steve Urkel 4 - Steve Urkel is a fictional character from the ABC/CBS sitcom, Family Matters. His character is arguably the most influential in creating the idea of the black nerd stereotype. Through Jaleel White's(the actor that played Steve Urkel) portrayal of Steve Urkel, the media was given a central image of a black nerd. This black nerd caricature popularized the image of an African American who is extremely nerdy, comical, and less masculine. Even today, the black nerd stereotype is still being incorporated in the media and doesn't always get the proper representation that it needs. In order for everyone in the black community to feel accepted, we need proper representation in the media so people do not feel like they don't belong. 5 - Andre Johnson Jr. from ABC's Black-Ish 6 - Lionel Higgens from Netflix series, Dear White People 7 - A.J from Nickelodeon's Fairly Odd Parents Donald Glover 8 - Donald Glover (also known as Childish Gambino), is a well-renowned African American producer, DJ, singer, rapper, artist, writer, actor, director, etc. He is also unapologetically a black nerd. (Maddox, Brittney). Glover creates a more refined image of a black nerd. With his multiple successes, he more than shows his worth and it makes him more of a role model to be successful and not like the ordinary black celebrities we typically see in the media. Glover gives a positive light to the idea of black nerds because he is not being uncharacteristically detached from who he really is. He is authentic and real, showing that the black nerd stereotype isn't all that it is perceived to be. "There’s no one quite like him admittedly which is part of his charm. Gambino has inspired a generation of kids after him to be unapologetically themselves." (Maddox, Brittney). 9 - Chidi from NBC's sitcom The Good Place An article from The New York Times states "Chidi is the sort of character who, in past generations, might have been the butt of the joke more often than not. Instead, he’s a romantic lead on one of television’s most beloved shows. For a viewer like me, who grew up being compared to characters like Steve Urkel, the ubernerd portrayed by Jaleel White on the ’90s sitcom “Family Matters,” he summons a welcome, if skewed, sense of recognition." (Opam, Kwame) Hip Hop's Influence on the Black Community 10 - A lot of influence of the black community has come from hip hop culture. Rappers like Tupac, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, etc, while have made amazing achievements for themselves and the black community, have also helped form a centralized image of toxic masculinity that plagues the black community. A lot of hip hop induces a lot of the characteristics of the black thug stereotype giving images of violent, misogynistic, hypersexual, degrading, gang culture. (Ko, Lisa). Since hip hop culture is so popular in the media, blacks would often try to incorporate the culture in their everyday lives. People who act too far outside the hip hop image are often ridiculed by the black community which forces people to feel pressured to be a certain way in order to fit in. 11 - Thug For Life The thug image has been adopted so many times from the media. Because of how media represents African Americans, the image of a gangster who's violent, criminal, and up to no good can come across someone's mind by just thinking about black people. 12 - Lil Pump: Lil Pump's image has created a strong influence in modern times. Through his rap music, he found success and is able to reach wide audiences. A quote from Jack Murphy describes Lil Pump's influence perfectly, "The stardom attained by Lil Pump creates a whole host of cultural problems. Since Lil Pump’s work is under the large umbrella of hip-hop and rap, his music has the effect of trivializing the greater genre from an art form of expression to a senseless commodity. And because of Lil Pump’s popularity, his music becomes representative of the entire genre in front of its mainstream audience. Therefore, the average person is likely to hear Lil Pump, and they might come to believe that this mindlessness is indicative of hip-hop. Thus, hip-hop culture is diminished. " Lil Pump's dreads may make some believe that he's part African American at first glance. 13 - Sagging The act of sagging is very prevalent in hip hop culture and modern-day. Hip hop is what started the trend of sagging. It's become a common practice for many people, especially in African American communities because it is something that seems to be indicative of popular hip hop culture. 14 - Tupac: Hip Hop Icon & Legend From the time he began creating hip hop music, he became a very influential figure. He helped create the stable for hip hop passing the torch for many artists today. Even though his mastery of hip hop cannot be denied, he did leave an image of masculinity that is apparent of hip hop culture. It's completely okay to be the way that you are. No one should feel pressured to act or be a certain way in order to fit into a community. We, as a community, need to learn to accept and not ridicule others for being their unique and authentic selves. The media can portray blacks in a negative light, but there are some positive representations that exist in the media as well. We must also diversify how blacks are portrayed in the media so that we may better have an understanding of how blacks truly are in the community. This will give blacks the power to be themselves freely with little worry about being ridiculed or rejected for being different. We are all different, but our community is the same. The media may give a certain image of ethnicities, but that's not indicative of who people are. It is up to us to change our community for the better. References Ko, Lisa. “Independent Lens .

  • State Systemic Improvement Plan – FFY 2018
    New Jersey Early Intervention System SPP/APR FFY 2018 (SFY 2019) Indicator 11-Attachment State Systemic Improvement Plan Submitted: April 1, 2020 THE STATE SYSTEMIC IMPROVEMENT PLAN PHASE III INTRODUCTION The New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) is the designated State Lead Agency for the Early Intervention System (NJEIS) established under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). As such, the DOH is ultimately responsible for using its supervisory authority to ensure the availability of appropriate early intervention services for eligible infants, toddlers and their families. New Jersey is divided into three geographic regions that are North Jersey, Central Jersey and South Jersey. The state has a twenty-one (21) county governmental structure and NJEIS operates in all 21 counties of New Jersey through contracts with 50 Early Intervention Agencies (EIPs), 13 Service Coordination Units (SCUs) and four Regional Early Intervention Collaboratives (REICs). Phases I & II of the State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) in 2015 and 2016 were completed through the efforts of the DOH and stakeholders through multiple meetings; the formation of small, task-oriented workgroups; data collection and analysis that all support the State- Identified Measurable Result (SIMR). The NJEIS defined the SIMR as: “Infants and toddlers with disabilities will substantially increase their rate of growth and development of positive social emotional skills by the time they exit the program as measured by Indicator 3A, summary statement 1” The execution of Phase III Years 1 through 4 followed the Actions Steps outlined in each of the four (4) Implementation Plans along with the Methods and Measures of the Evaluation Plan developed and submitted in Phase II.

  • Blacks Reveal TV Loyalty
    Page 1 1 of 1 DOCUMENT Advertising Age November 18, 1991 Blacks reveal TV loyalty SECTION: MEDIA; Media Works; Tracking Shares; Pg. 28 LENGTH: 537 words While overall ratings for the Big 3 networks continue to decline, a BBDO Worldwide analysis of data from Nielsen Media Research shows that blacks in the U.S. are watching network TV in record numbers. "Television Viewing Among Blacks" shows that TV viewing within black households is 48% higher than all other households. In 1990, black households viewed an average 69.8 hours of TV a week. Non-black households watched an average 47.1 hours. The three highest-rated prime-time series among black audiences are "A Different World," "The Cosby Show" and "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," Nielsen said. All are on NBC and all feature blacks. "Advertisers and marketers are mainly concerned with age and income, and not race," said Doug Alligood, VP-special markets at BBDO, New York. "Advertisers and marketers target shows that have a broader appeal and can generate a large viewing audience." Mr. Alligood said this can have significant implications for general-market advertisers that also need to reach blacks. "If you are running a general ad campaign, you will underdeliver black consumers," he said. "If you can offset that delivery with those shows that they watch heavily, you will get a small composition vs. the overall audience." Hit shows -- such as ABC's "Roseanne" and CBS' "Murphy Brown" and "Designing Women" -- had lower ratings with black audiences than with the general population because "there is very little recognition that blacks exist" in those shows.

Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.
