“…Existing analyses indicate Black viewers' detection of and concerns about stereotypic portrayals. For example, in qualitative studies involving Black adolescents, students have expressed awareness of negative media portrayals of Black women as angry, loud, and hypersexualized (Adams-Bass, Bentley-Edwards, & Stevenson, 2014;Muhammad & McArthur, 2015). However, other findings have indicated that Black viewers did not necessarily internalize these negative perceptions of their group, and could see the complexity in Black characters.…”

“…Because these portrayals can be interpreted in several ways, it would be useful for researchers to continue to investigate how Black youth perceive these television images (e.g., as positive or stereotypical representations). Such work could build on existing analyses that focused on viewer perceptions of Black women across several visual media (e.g., Adams-Bass et al, 2014;Muhammad & McArthur, 2015). It would also be valuable to test how different groups of women (categorized by age, work status, appearance) perceive these images.…”

“…Although there are no existing studies that link Black adolescents’ media use to their notions of the SBW ideal, there is related work analyzing Black teens’ media use and their stereotypes of Black women, and work with Black adults demonstrating links between media use and SBW beliefs. First, in qualitative studies involving Black adolescents, students have expressed awareness of negative media portrayals of Black girls and Black women as angry, loud, and violent and as hypersexualized (Adams-Bass, Bentley-Edwards, & Stevenson, 2014; Muhammad & McArthur, 2015). In focus groups with Black girls, Stephens and Few (2007a, 2007b) found that girls recognized sexual scripts about Black woman that are commonly displayed in media and used these scripts as conceptual frameworks to help predict behaviors of their peers and potential partners.…”

“…The pervasiveness of negative images and messages about Black people continues to contribute to the harmful perceptions that many Black students retain about themselves and others (Johnson, 2018; Muhammad & McArthur, 2015; Shujaa, 1994; Tatum, 2017). For example, I shared with Ms. Thomas and the students how one of my college professors had admonished me about my use of Black Language in my papers and went on to question how I had gotten so far.…”
