    1268 Words  | 6 Pages

    The stereotype was solidified from television show “Amos ‘n’ Andy”. She is a headstrong, bossy woman who channels her frustrations toward the African American man in her life by putting him down and nagging him.

This stereotype is probably the most popular classification of African American women today.
