Portrayals in the media of Race

Negative - Straight Outta Compton NWA - The Black Males in this movie are considered gangsters were are up to no good and are also in large conflict with the police of Compton.

This image is taken straight from the movie and as you can see there is a tipped police car with a gang of black people smashing up the vehicle

Positive - The Simpsons - Male black doctor, this is showing that he is well educated and caring for people which is a positive representation of black people

Differences - Obviously the doctor from Simpsons isn't dangerous whereas in the film black people are represented as dangerous/ violent. The doctor is well educated and friendly and the gangsters are pretty much the opposite

ETHNIC GROUPS IN MUSIC

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON 
In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country.  When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. 

A Clip from this trailer shows the police telling the group that they are no longer permitted 
to play their song 'F the police'. At their next concert they say 'they trying to tell us what we cant play'. They then play their song even though the police have told them they arn't allowed. This is supporting the stereotype of black males not having respect for the police and generally showing they don't listen to police. Showing that there is conflict between the police and black communities 

Context: In Compton (1980s). There is a lot of conflict between the police and the people of Compton. Riots and rebellion across the entire city. In the trailer it showing burning vehicles and graffiti on the walls saying 'F the police'. Their song that was very popular was said to further influence the black people to go against the police as it highlights many of the tensions between black urban youth and the police. The song was prophetic in its reading the widespread resentment towards the police that later boiled over in the 1992 Los Angeles riots following the Rodney King incident. The song also alleged that blacks in the police were worse than the whites. Shown in their lyrics; "so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority". They used the polices threats on them to further influence the black people as they told their fans that the police are trying to control them and not giving them freedom they deserve. 

This can be linked to the modern-day as in the summer we had the Ferguson riot this was An ongoing series of protests and civil disorder began the day after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown on August 9, 2014, in Ferguson, Missouri. The unrest sparked a vigorous debate about law enforcement's relationship with African-Americans, and police use of force doctrine in Missouri and nationwide.
