MTLME #3.2 - Tackling Stereotypes | Parlons Stéréotypes (Part 2)
<p>Dans cet épisode 3.2 - Parlons Stéréotypes (Partie 2), nous continuons de décortiquer d’autres stéréotypes qui sont généralement vus de manière positive, tel que celui des Noir.e.s qui dansent bien (3:52). Nous parlons des aspects culturels, traditionnels et des coutumes avec lesquelles beaucoup d’entre nous grandissent, et qui contribuent à faire de la danse et du rythme musical des parties intégrantes de notre identité. Nous abordons également le stéréotype de ‘bien cuisiner’ quand on est Noir.e, les enjeux de santé reliés à certains types de mets traditionnels, dits ‘soul food’, et l’association populaire des Noir.e.s au poulet, au melon d’eau et autres aliments du genre (12:56). Ensuite, il est question des ‘activités de blancs’ et des raisons pour lesquelles beaucoup d’entre nous n’y adhèrent pas (17:48).</p> <p>L’internalisation de ces stéréotypes est un important sujet que nous décidons de développer plus en profondeur par la suite (26:30), notamment en explorant le mythe de la ‘angry black woman’, le fait de se mettre de la pression pour bien représenter la communauté noire, et les critiques de cette dernière qui sont souvent bien plus dures envers ses propres membres (29:39). Puis, il est question du film culte “Naissance d'une nation”, qui a contribué à propager et solidifier dans l’imaginaire des gens plusieurs stéréotypes envers les personnes noires (40:56).</p> <p>Finalement, nous discutons de manières de transcender ces stéréotypes, d’aller au-delà de ces limites imposées par les autres, certes, mais que nous nous mettons aussi parfois à nous-mêmes (55:50).</p> <p>En bonus, nous donnons des exemples concrets de discriminations basées sur des stéréotypes (et du racisme) qui se sont produits dans les domaines des arts, des sports et dans l’industrie du showbiz (1:00:00), avant de conclure sur les opportunités inimaginables qui pourraient s’offrir à nous si on sortait des sentiers battus et l’importance d’être heureux.ses et épanoui.e.s dans ce que nous décidons de faire de notre vie (1:09:49).</p> <p>In this episode 3.2 - Tackling Stereotypes (Part 2), we continue to dissect other stereotypes that are generally viewed positively, such as black people dancing well (3:52). We talk about the cultural, traditional and customary aspects that many of us grow up with, and which help to make dance and musical rhythm an integral part of our identity. We also discuss the stereotype of 'cooking well' when you are black, the health issues related to certain types of traditional dishes called 'soul food', and the popular association of black people with chicken, watermelon and other food as such (12:56). Then we discuss ‘white people activities’ and why many of us do not take part in them (17:48).</p> <p>The internalization of these stereotypes is an important subject that we decide to develop more in depth later on (26:30), particularly by exploring the myth of the 'angry black woman', the fact that a lot of us put pressure on ourselves to represent the black community, and the very harsh critics we give to one another (29:39). Then we talk about the cult film “The Birth of a Nation”, which helped propagate and solidify in people's imaginations several stereotypes about black people (40:56).</p> <p>Finally, we discuss ways to transcend these stereotypes, to go beyond those limits imposed by others, admittedly, but which we also sometimes put on ourselves (55:50).</p> <p>As a bonus, we give concrete examples of discriminations based on stereotypes (and racism) that have occurred in the arts, sports and the showbiz industry (1:00:00), before concluding on the unimaginable opportunities that could be presented to us if we thought outside the box, and the importance of being happy and fulfilled in what we decide to do with our life (1:09:49).</p> <p><br></p> <p>Lien YouTube link:</p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpotMp44lYziAbMftMg5GhQ</p>

On parle également de l’impact sur les enfants noirs et le trauma intergénérationnel (12:51), la réalité des enfants métisses et des enfants adoptés par rapport à l’entretien des cheveux et de la peau (16:50), et du fait de sentir qu’il faut se fondre dans la masse (22:33). On revient aussi sur la guérison et l’amour de soi, ainsi que les réflexions que ça amène simplement de réaliser qu’il y a une haine soi (39:53). Enfin, il est question de spiritualité africaine, du retour aux sources, d’apprentissage sur notre histoire et de la célébration de l’identité noire par des événements et dans les médias sociaux (48:12).</p> <p>To start, we go back to the first part of the episode titled “From self hate to self love: The Black journey” before continuing to explore internalized racism and its effects on self-esteem.
