Abstract

Stereotypical and demeaning roles were originally created for Blacks in film, since the emergence of the first full length feature film, Birth of a Nation (1913). Blacks did not have power in the motion picture industry when it was originally formed. films by black writers, producers, and directors did not exist when films made their entrance into American life in the early 20th century. Audiences and filmgoers were subject to the stereotypical displays of black roles in film that were created to be shallow and entertaining (Bogle 17). black characters were not given appreciation in terms of fullness of character or clarity in being. black characters were not the focus of mainstream films, only an entertaining short. Stereotypical black characters were created to entertain audiences. Every stereotypical black character known today was first featured in Birth of a Nation (Bogle 17).
