By now, we've discussed, or rather unpacked definitions and examples of images. We've applied these definitions to two films along with clips of the well-known Rodney King and Latasha Harlins incidents. In each of these, we observed how black bodies are objectified, and literally destroyed. Using our black spectatorship, we've been able to see an alternate 'truth' which contradicts what the media portrays. What examples can you name which perpetuate one of the stereotypes we've discussed, and what image counters this in today's media?
