The analysis is a sociohistorical examination of entertainment media’s representation of black children from the 1970s to 2000s. Each decade of media production provides insight into the presentation of black children in regards to the stereotypes and biased messages conveyed. The analysis delineates the narrowly defined yet deviant manner in which black children have been depicted. Examples derived from motion picture films and television shows are set forth to illustrate the manner in which black children have traditionally been included, or perhaps excluded, in the perpetuation of racial stereotypes reflective of the coinciding stereotypes usually projected on to black adults.

该分析是对娱乐媒体对 1970 年代至 2000 年代黑人儿童形象的社会历史检验。每十年的媒体制作都让我们深入了解黑人儿童在传达的刻板印象和偏见信息方面的表现。该分析描绘了描绘黑人儿童的狭义​​但异常的方式。列举了源自电影和电视节目的例子，以说明黑人儿童在传统上被包括或排除在种族刻板印象中的方式，这些刻板印象反映了通常投射到黑人成年人身上的一致刻板印象。
