Tonight on the BAIO/Voice of the Kala Nation we will look at the history of the global Black image.Why is the image of African Americans on the whole negative?Ralph Ellison talked about the Invisible Man.The image of Black people is the imagination of White people.The sterotypes are a form of ownership.It is a power dynamic.The people who dominate America control the images that go out to the world.One of the most effective ways of discrediting Black America and justifying White supremacy was creating Minstrel Shows.These shows were designed to humiliate and denegrate Black people.These images also caused violence and brutality against Black America.
