FEATURED ARTICLE
THE CONCEPT OF ONE INDIVIDUAL
AIYANNA SHIELDS, JANUARY 2025
|
"Despite what many people like to believe, stereotypes are a part of everyday life, whether we use them unconsciously or not. However, stereotypes should never be a justification for prejudice or hatred. Because of this, there is a thin line between stereotypes and racism, especially toward the African American community. From viewpoints that associate Black people with hip-hop and gang culture to the idea that Black Americans are violent and untamed, these concepts, no matter how big and how small they may seem to you, group the African American community into one box, creating generalizations that devalue the individualism seen within our communities." |
