The article revealed alot of truth about our society today. It is true that many unfair stereotypes are put on African Americas. Especially African American males. I beleive that televison shows have a lot to do with why the stereotypes occur. Shows such as "Cops" seem to always have many cases where a black male has done something wrong such as drug trafficking or robbery. However you do not see quite as much attention being paid to the white people who are also commiting crimes.
Although I am aware of the way some African Americans are perceived in our country, I have never witnessed it in the way the author describes it in the article. I come from a small town where everybody pretty much knows each other and not only will we walk by each other but we usually speak. Race makes no difference. I guess things are probably a little different in larger cities where the most crime takes place.
