 In the 1980s and 1990s, stereotypes of black men shifted and the primary images were of drug dealers, crack victims, the underclass, the homeless, and subway muggers.Similarly, Douglas (1995), who looked at O. J. Simpson, Louis Farrakhan, and the Million Man March, found that media placed African-American men on a spectrum of good versus evil.The watermelon stereotype is that African Americans have an unusual appetite for watermelons.
