African American stereotypes are generalizations about the behaviour of African Americans
originated primarily in American culture and derived from how slave owners used to view
slaves. Since then African-Americans and other races, to classify African-Americans use
African American stereotypes. Somehow African American stereotypes allow the user to
escape from getting to know a person individually lest they are proven wrong. African
American stereotypes are mostly used in a negative way although there are positive African
American stereotypes . In most cases however, African American stereotypes are used to
reinforce the negative perceptions persons have of African Americans, the main perpetrators
of these African American stereotypes not of African American origins.

Subscribing to African American stereotypes is like saying you only need to meet one African
American to know what all other African Americans are like. Just by relating to several people in
a day, will make one see how erroneous it is to buy into African American stereotypes .

One of the most damaging features of African American stereotypes is the influence they have
on young African Americans. When young people grow up under the stigma of these negative
African American stereotypes , it somehow informs their psychology and these African
American stereotypes bring about what Psychologists refer to as the self-fulfilling prophecy.
Quite a number of African Americans do not even know that they play into and help to reinforce
the African American stereotypes . They believe that the African American stereotypes have
been imposed upon them and while partly right, they reinforce them through acceptance. For
example, some African Americans do not aspire to higher education because they live under
the African American stereotypes of being dumb and lazy. It is even more painful to hear
children label themselves according to these African American stereotypes.

Stereotypes versus Reality
Throughout the greater half of the twentieth century, African Americans were stereotyped as
dirty and contaminated. Although it is easy to imagine that lower income individuals may not
have had sufficient money for cleaning supplies and might be less concerned about cleanliness,
this was simply never true about African Americans. Rather, this stereotype festered to justify
laws segregating Black and White Americans under the false notion of cleanliness and disease
prevention. Segregation statutes prevented Blacks and Whites from utilizing the same
restrooms, drinking fountains, and swimming facilities under the assumption that Whites would
be contaminated by shared use. Back in the day, Jim Crow was "just common sense." The
medical establishment agreed, proclaiming that African Americans were carriers of disease, "a
social menace whose collective superstitions, ignorance, and carefree demeanour stood as a
stubborn affront to modern notions of hygiene..." (Wailoo, 2006).

Meanwhile, Blacks Americans were commonly employed as cleaning ladies in White
establishments, and nannies and maids for White families, illustrating the paradoxical nature of
pathological stereotypes. Black people could cook food for White people, but could not sit at
the same dinner table. Blacks could enter homes in White neighborhoods to clean them but not
to buy them.

Stereotypes versus Reality
Even today, despite lower per capita incomes, Black Americans spend more on laundry and
cleaning supplies than their White counterparts, even after adjusting for differences in average
annual spending. African American women engage in increased hygiene practices and report
more cleaning and grooming behaviors. In fact, a greater emphasis on cleaning behaviors
appears to be a cultural norm for African Americans. When taking in these facts and our history
as a whole, it's not difficult to see how the stereotype was wrong, and distortion of reality was
used to justify the disenfranchisement of a disadvantaged population.
