Black Men and Public Space In his essay “Black Men and Public Space,” Brent Staples asserts that black men are being deeply stereotyped as dangerous individual to the society. Because of the historical race that black men have always committed crimes and caused violence, now it look like black men is a sign of evildoer; for example muggers and rapists. Staples develops this claim by describing his own experiences which he has been considered as a dangerous people or a burglar. At the beginning, he uses his “first victim” to set the tone of the article. The “first victim” is a white woman, who is so afraid of him when Staples, a youngish black man, walked behind her that she quickly ran away.
Victimization is a consistent theme that is first demonstrated through the character Tom Robinson. Tom Robinson faced a great amount of abuse by the citizens of Maycomb. During his rape trial, Tom Robinson was discriminated against while he took the stand. “ ‘Strong enough to choke the breath out of a woman and sling her to the floor?’ ” (Lee, 196).

In the movie, Crash, it displays the common stereotypes of different races and misinterpretations of race confusing one with another unknowing the differences. The movie start off as two black males whom are walking out of a café and one is complaining unequal service towards them being that their black while the other one is rational towards the events. As walking down the street he is still talking about it and sees a woman whom grabs a hold of her husband’s arm in sight of them as in a common stereo type of black men whom steal and rob. He explains that the white people shouldn’t be afraid of them and that they are the ones who should be afraid being in a predominately white location.
