Mammy Archetype
A mammy is a U.S. historical stereotype depicting black women who work in a white family and nurse the family's children. The fictionalized mammy character is often visualized as a larger-sized, dark-skinned woman with a motherly personality. The origin of the mammy figure stereotype is rooted in the history of slavery in the United States. Black slave women were tasked with domestic and childcare work in white American slaveholding households. The mammy stereotype was inspired by these domestic workers. The mammy caricature was used to create a narrative of black women being happy within slavery or within a role of servitude.

History The mammy caricature was first seen in the 1830s in antebellum proslavery literature as a way to oppose the descri ...

Animated violence is sometimes partitioned into comedic and non-comedic cartoon violence. Influence on real-life behavior Opinions on the influences of cartoon violence vary.
