Drawing from the film, Ethnic Notions, discuss how anti-Black prejudice in America has been intentionally produced historically by white society to justify oppression by creating racist images of African Americans and Black Americans from slavery, to emancipation, to the present day.

Briefly, in your opinion, what are some contemporary media-related attempts that might create more positive cultural images of African Americans and Black Americans today?
