This week in class we talked about culture in the United States particularly African, Latino, and Native Americans. So, what is culture and who shows the way your culture is portrayed in the world. In the United States as an African American woman there is certain things in society that our stereotypes of women of my culture. Like there is this thing of over sexuality, welfare, and ghetto but this is also something that Native and Latino Americans face.

(Video 1) This video shows how black women our seen as over sexual can be something that someone not in my culture can see as a normal thing for African American women. This of course is not true for many black women. This video does not represent my mom, grandma, or aunts and it does not represent me.
In this blog the two disciplines I am using to analyze this video is history and politics. I used history and politics because history is what started the over sexuality of African American, Latino and Native American women.
