African American Stereotypes
Content: This not only is discrimination (perhaps paying less because they think blacks work less) it also reinforces the stereotype by making it harder for blacks to make a fair and decent wage.

Many blacks come to the conclusion that they are stuck where they are on the stratification ladder. Because of this, family members may even discourage a loved one from going to school and trying to get out of their social class. The many stereotypes surrounding African Americans are not only untrue, but can also be damaging and even lead to self-fulfilling prophecy in some situations.
