We've come so far....

The stereotypes we saw in the video the other day were dated and most of them seem to have vanished. Most of the attacks on African Americans were to keep the general white population convinced that they were better off enslaved. Today we have come close to obliterating the stereotype that black men can't hold high position in companies or in the government. For instance, we have just elected an African American to be the president of the United States (which F.Y.I. is sort of an important job with a considerable amount of power). And what about the fact that every movie that Will Smith or Denzel Washington stars in is worth seeing twice.
