in addition to this he talks about the way white men talk to african americans and how it contributes to this problem of double consciousness. he says that when a white man talks to an african american man he is changing his language to a way in which a stereotypical black man would talk, similarly to how one would talk to a child, with different language sophistication and slang. he says that this angers the african american because he feels as though he has been categorized and imprisoned into a box from which he cannot escape due to this judgement. he gives an example of a film where this stereotype is portrayed and then talks about how african americans need to be educated to not follow the stereotypes displayed by white culture.
