Should we embrace and encourage them?
Positive Stereotypes

Yeah that stereotype was a shaming tactic used to discourage black entrepreneurs during slavery. I think Uncle Tom is another term that was corruptedI don’t know about “embrace” but I’ve never been too mad about the watermelon stereotype. It’s a fruit that’s good for you
If our stereotype is eating healthy then
Damn a stereotype, what the fukk is that laying on your skull @RhapSaDiddy 
I think we should take the Jewish approach and take pre-emptive strikes against all stereotypes. Their genocide began with semi-positive stereotypes about them being good with money or managing businesses.
In about 3decades, it came to bite them in the assss. For us, I see this in the supper nikka stereotype we get from cacs and even the "harmless" stereotypes as well.
A Colombian chick was telling me that the "fun loving", good with music stereotype was weaponized in SouthAmerica to deny resources to their black people. You saw this last year with Bolsonaro rationalizing taking land from the "lazy" negros in the jungle

"Superhumanization"
Whites See Blacks as Superhuman
And that’s not exactly a compliment.

Black athletes are often portrayed as gods—though not always saints. They’re gravity defying (Air Jordan), invincible (Iron Mike), supercharged (if Usain Bolt’s last name didn’t exist, we would have had to invent it), or all-around supernatural (Magic Johnson). These monikers help sell magazines and sneakers, but there may be a deeper bias at play. New research suggests that whites think of blacks in general as superhuman, or at least more so than whites. And this bias may have implications far outside the wide world of sports.

Good find @RhapSaDiddy. And I seriously think this image correlates with how the young white kids who watched Jordan, grew up to be cops who were fine body slamming and choking out random brehs in the street.
Not at all, cause what does that do to the black people who can't match them. The black women I know are more insecure about having no ass more than white women I know cause of "positive stereotypes". I know an Indian person who got accused of "being white" cause he wanted study art instead of STEM. How would that help a black child?
Exactly they grow up to be George Zimmerman's, Karens and KKKops.
I was talking to a family member about mental health and the reason why some black people shun therapy. I think sometimes we buy into the idea that we aren't susceptible to certain things because we have had to be tough. But that dosen't mean we aren't human
