Discussion Question for 10/8

In the media there are several images of racism toward Black men and women. The depiction of Black men and women that I see the most is of the native. This portrayal includes a Black men or women in a primitive scene usually dressed without a shirt on or in animal print or without a shirt on. Sometimes they are even photographed as looking animalistic and in cages. Why this image is so popular among the Black artist community? What are some examples of this portrayal?
