i wonder if they know that the only reason why it has over 4k views is because my art teacher makes all her students see this video. i myself have seen it atleast 8 times
No problem with depicting black women with guns, but why the stereotype looks? I guess I just don't get it. Besides being a gun owner I also play banjo. I have several figures of people playing banjo and some of them are African Americans but they are all tastefully done. No bug eyed, jet black skin etc... When I see that stuff in flea markets, I cringe
It's about reclaiming those stereotypes. Aunt Jemima is a stereotypical depiction of an African American woman. It's a racial stereotype that is repurposed into a more positive, empowered woman. In her words, "A warrior ready to combat servitude and racism." (Betye Saar: Workers + Warriors 1998). I recommend reading this book: www.amazon.com/Slave-Box-Strange-Career-American/dp/0813918111 Basically,
This is an amazing piece. She really opened my eyes with this work.

Good for your teacher! Some students lack a depth of understanding to recognize the power of reclaiming stereotypes.
