Positive and Negative Stereotypes that I picked out from Get Rich Or Die Trying

Positive:

• The crew look out for each other, showing unity within friends.
• "That's enough lets go" and "I told you not to shoot and the first thing you do is shoot"- Marcus is trying to stop the robbery.
• Athletic- playing basketball
• Aspiring to be a rapper- Marcus from a yound age wanting to become a rapper called 'young ceasar' and becoming a gangster rapper "concentrate on my dream being a rapper".
• Charlene's stepdad is strict, showing he cares for her. This is juxtaposed against Marcus not, even having a father.
• Majestic [the biggest drug dealer] is like a father figure- his dialect towards many of his followers is quite wise, especially Marcus.
• Black people are car dealers in this film
• Also, they play priests
• Rely a lot on RESPECT!!
• Playing music producers
• In love with one women
• A father to his child- does not want his child living without a father.

Negative:

• Smoking blunts
• Holding and in possession of guns
• Criminal activities- robbing the Columbines "where the big bills at"- obessesed with money
• Lack of paternity "I don't know why I was looking for my father, all I know is I was looking for my father my whole life"
• The grandad is a labourer " living like a 2nd class nigga"- Marcus says this to his grandad.
• Drug dealers are all Black whereas, White people are police officers.
• Vulgar dialect- constantly swearing
• Majestic raped Marcus' mother and killed her
• Family rejection, but paternity and the lack of it is crucial. Uncle Duce says to Marcus "who's your daddy"
• "Time to join the family business"- Resulting into drugs at a very young age.
• Black characters also play gun sellers- who sell guns to pratically to anyone - showing corruption.
• Aggressive
• Not obident and get kicked out of school
• Getting into gangs
• "You niggas got mo family, all you got is respect"- Family rejection.
