Describe the ways in which racism is perpetuated in media, whether it be music, television, ads, or movies. Please provide examples. How is this problematic in society?

Answers will vary and may include a variety of examples centered on culture and racism. The student may choose to discuss how black men are often featured in movies as the "bad guys," or how black women are often portrayed negatively in rap music. These stereotypes are problematic because they highlight racist ideologies and communicate that racism is acceptable, and even encouraged.
