continues to portray black male characters with
"good" or "bad" extremes, some progress is being

Second Class Citizens Miss Emma

forefathers as they raped the dignity and humanity
out of the black men, who they thought were unfit
to be equal to them. Was it not up to the black
race as a whole t...
