The pop culture (songs, drama) of the 19th century European American audience kept producing negative stereotypes of African Americans. An important symbol of racial discrimination for African Americans is the use of black faces. It is a silly system that is directly related to this. Other stereotypes for African-Americans include obesity, dark-skinned "nanny" and irrational, "sexually depressed" person "buck".
