There’s an interesting article over on Undercover Black Man about blacks being perceived as monkeys, which I thought was interesting because I didn’t think people still thought like that. It’s an interesting read that goes into depth about some of the history of this egregious stereotype.
Additionally on Ask This Black Woman, there’s an article about the phenomenon of BBFs (Best Black Friends) in American cinema and television.
