Because the media has such a profound influence on our lives it is reasonable to assume that it may have an impact on our views of certain groups of people. It is important to note whether those images are positive or negative and if they make us view people more positively or negatively. Black women, especially, have unique challenges with media portrayal. As bell hooks noted, they are largely erased from existence by the media, except in certain areas. It is not hard to prove this even a quick google image search of black people or women shows how little black women are portrayed. I want to document the effect of this erasure and note in which ways black women are be portrayed.
