Morgan compares the historical account of black women in the antebellum south who were considered oversexed mistresses and whores to white slave masters. She exposes the brutality of black women, as they were considered strong for to taking it. This unrealistic myth of a strong black woman continues today while ignoring the fact they are not exempt from pain, they learn to adapt for survival. According to Morgan, black women are just as endangered as black men with illness, drugs and death. In the section of endangered black men, Morgan is unsympathetic of the black woman’s attitude toward black men and believes they are no difference than a white racist by not seeing the black men’s beauty and worth.
In the beginning of the book Scout, the main character, introduces the reader to her cook, Calpurnia. Calpurnia is an African American woman who used to work at Finch’s cotton farm.

Through her actions, she strengthens the idea that Black females are harsh individuals. Having Omorosa be the epitome of the Angry Black Woman just reaffirms the preconceived stereotypes about Black women and this affects the way in which white people perceive Black women because they are consistently shown negative stereotypes of Black women. Likewise, in television sitcoms, the Angry Black Woman stereotype can be found in many television shows with Black female characters. In the 2005 Black-sitcom Everybody Hates Chris, the stereotype of the Sapphire, more presently known as the Angry Black Woman is present.

Newfoundland made the right decision in joining Canada in 1949 because in return they were given the promise of prosperity and security due to family allowance, higher standards of living and relief of debt. When Newfoundland joined Confederation, it was by far the the poorest province. Billions of dollars of equalization payments later and investments into the province by the Federal Government, now means Newfoundland is richer than the average Canadian province and has not qualified for equalization payments since 2008. The first reason why Newfoundland made the right decision in joining Canadian Confederation was because Canada relieved Newfoundland of the financial debt burdening it.
Salinger and Lee have examples of this in their writing. First off, Lee uses the time period, of racism, to really be the core of Scouts maturing life. For example, Scout asks her family 's maid, who is black, why she talks differently to negroes then when she talks to Scouts family. Calpernia, the maid, responds “Well, in the first place I’m black.” Later on the passage, Calpernia goes on to explain that she talks differently because that 's the way her people talk.

Specifically, the most well-known image of “Mammy” is Mammy-Two-Shoes in MGM’s Tom and Jerry. She appeared as Tom’s owner who wore a white or blue apron, thick tights and house slippers (Parasecoli, 2010, p. 458).
“I am more than just a BLACK WOMEN” The way African American women are judged is starting to become ridiculous and the list of the names that these women are being called is steady growing. I decided to focus on what is going on in the world today that has happened in the past. Out of all of the women that exist in the world African American women are the targets of American. It is hard to even walk in a store without being labeled as “ghetto, ratchet, a baby mama, gold diggers, or angry.”
