Barbershop Forum: Setting the Record Straight: Does The Media Present Negative Stereotypes of Black Men?

Palace III

Overview: In this session, we will explore how negative media portrayals of Black men lead to the normalization of violence against them, especially through police brutality. Panelists from media, law enforcement, government, entertainment, and Corporate America will analyze examples of negative media portrayals, such as the "thug" or "gangster" image, examine how they contribute to systemic racism and oppression, and discuss the harmful effects of these stereotypes and ways to challenge and dismantle them.  Participants will walk away with practical steps they can take to help advocate for accurate and positive representations of Black men in media and society.
