New Black Man

In the first chapter of Mark Anthony’s book New Black Man, he describes the stereotypes of a black man. Just one of the acts an individual did influenced the reputations of the race. They are seen as “sexually perverse” and aggressive behaviors toward defenseless victims. The chapter also categorizes black people into “New Black Men”. The “Talented Tenth” contains elite and educated middle-class people, where as the hip-pop generation have the problem of sexism, misogyny, and homophobia. It is interesting how blacks are categorized into either one type or the other based on the stereotypes.
