African American stereotypes are generalizations about the behaviour of African Americans originated primarily in American culture and derived from how slave owners used to view slaves. Since then African-Americans and other races, to classify African-Americans use African American stereotypes. Somehow African American stereotypes allow the user to escape from getting to know a person individually lest they are proven wrong. African American stereotypes are mostly used in a negative way although there are positive African American stereotypes . In most cases however, African American stereotypes are used to reinforce the negative perceptions persons have of African Americans, the main perpetrators of these African American stereotypes not of African American origins.
