Riley Freeman

The show still runs on TV at night and is also available on DVD. The series is comedy centered on the life of an African-American family that moved from the harsh and curl city of Chicago into the suburbs. Stereotyping the Freeman family lives as black people who so called advanced in the world by moving up their social status in society. The show has three main charters, Robert Freeman the grandfather of both Huey and Riley Freeman. I strongly feel this show helps to promotes prejudice and discrimination through stereotyping. Huey Freeman is a smart young black man with knowledge beyond his years. Huey in a way represents the radical black advocate of the 70’s-90’s. He has a big black Afro, and is the leader of many radical organizations, such as “A.F.R.O”. On the show Huey once stated “Ronald Regan is the Devil,” and “The government is lying about 9/11.” Huey’s character fight against the stereotypes of being ignorant and uneducated as most black people are portrayed to be. Huey also represent a radical black, but shows that there are blacks that do not fit into the typical stereotype of an “ignorant”…

Hopewell is also hopeful and cheerful that the Freeman family would live up to her expectations. Hope made her see negative points in a positive manner. For instance, Mrs. Freeman was extremely nosy but instead of frowning upon this trait, Mrs. Hopewell analyzed that it was the job of this woman to be nosy and know everything. This gave Mrs. Freeman a free hand and in the very name the author has woven in the character’s trait. Mrs. Hopewell immediately trusts the salesman Pointer and accepts…

Most people recognize the law as reliable and responsible yet what we observe in Shawshank prison is actually the guards and also Warden carrying out far more harmful things compared to many of the prisoners that stay in the prison. The guards would normally attack the inmates and the Warden was basically fine with the guards villainy. The figures that these were developed ended up being the opposite of one might assume. Good and evil characteristics had been presented as contradictory…

others find it offensive (Habib, 2008). The cultural backgrounds that the audience members come from may also affect how much they know about other cultures and not just their own. This is what many African American people fear when shows such as The Boondocks and Black Dynamite air on television since the cartoons might give a negative representation of the African American community and reinforce stereotypes (Rockler, 2002 p. 409). Instances of these misinterpretations are found throughout…

I chose Professor Bernstein, because I read in his bio that he had written and sold several scripts. Becoming a writer for television and film is my goal, and the reason I chose to attend ASU, so I was interested to see what advice he could give me about the…

The simile of the air vent for the pressure cooker is a way that authorities let the dominated groups feel not dominated and have control over parts of their lives. Henceforth, those who are not in charge are led to the illusion of control. The constant pressure leads to the implosion and the destruction of the system, but as the authorities dominate and the dominated people taste the goodness of freedom and control of their lives, the authorities get more powerful. The dominated ones get used…
