Williams, Maya. “7 Spoken-Word Poems That Absolutely Debunk Racial Stereotypes.” The Tempest, 14 Mar. 2019, thetempest.co/2016/09/21/news/top-7-spoken-word-poems-that-debunk-racial-stereotypes/.

 

In this article we are given a bunch of videos of different people of different races talking about the stereotypes that they face. The audience of the video would probably be individuals who are not only interested in poems but individuals who care of the voices of the unheard. I am referring to the video called “DA RULES” in the video they preach about why people in America fear us. Also they preach about the stereotypes, and what black people of all genders should and should not do in order to stay alive.I think they would be interested in it only because are topics are the same but the difference is that I would be include how the media plays a huge impact to the stereotypes that are created. The people in this video got me hooked because they started of with giving a set of rules in which told the people who fit the description to be something that they may not already be or if not it could lead to a fatality.I mean yes this can help me because it gives me a list of ideas that I can bring Into my poem.
