Stereotypes exist in every part of society. Modern movies and television shows are not immune to this problem.  It's frustrating. It's persistent. It's inexcusable. And today we call it out. Join Marlene and Ben as they rant about these degrading and demeaning stereotypes. They also discuss the limited roles available to Black actors and how these stereotypical roles are accepted and encouraged in the "diverse and inclusive" entertainment industry.  Some of these roles might surprise you!  We don't want to ruin your entertainment experience but these stereotypes are dangerous. Awareness is the first step toward eliminating these portrayals in entertainment and other parts of society.
