Before I read this essay I have never seen an episode of the real world. And after reading this I just see MTV showing us what they want us to see and perceive. This is a TV show that needs viewers so MTV has to get viewers some how. There always has to be a villain and MTV is using those stereotypes of black men to their advantage. These people may be ordinary people but on TV they are actors and could be told what to do by the director and thus show us what they wants us to see. I have black friends and have worked with black people for many years and I do not agree with what is being portrayed. Don't forget that a white person can act just the same as described.
1. What ways are there to end the stereotypes?
2. Why do TV shows portray our fears even though they are wrong?
