ETHNIC NOTIONS is Marlon Riggs' Emmy-winning documentary that takes viewers on a disturbing voyage through American history, tracing for the first time the deep-rooted stereotypes which have fueled anti-black prejudice. Through these images we can begin to understand the evolution of racial consciousness in America. Loyal Toms, carefree Sambos, faithful Mammies, grinning Coons, savage Brutes, and wide-eyed Pickaninnies roll across the screen in cartoons, feature films, popular songs, minstrel shows, advertisements, folklore, household artifacts, even children's rhymes. These dehumanizing caricatures permeated popular culture from the 1820s to the Civil Rights period and implanted themselves deep in the American psyche. Narration by Esther Rolle and commentary by respected scholars shed light on the origins and devastating consequences of this 150 yearlong parade of bigotry. ETHNIC NOTIONS situates each stereotype historically in white society's shifting needs to justify racist oppression from slavery to the present day. The insidious images exacted a devastating toll on black Americans and continue to undermine race relations. ETHNIC NOTIONS has quickly become a mainstay of university, high school, and public library collections. It is a basic audio visual text for American History, Sociology, Black Studies, Anthropology, Social Psychology, Media Studies, and any training program concerned with stereotyping and cross-cultural understanding. Approaching a complex and delicate subject with great sensitivity, ETHNIC NOTIONS equips viewers to view media and other cultural representations with a more critical eye. It's a direct challenge to those who say, "It was just a joke." 译文(3): 《道德通知》是马龙·里格斯的艾美奖获奖纪录片，它带领观众在美国历史上进行了一次令人不安的旅程，首次追溯了助长反黑人偏见的根深蒂固的刻板印象。通过这些图像，我们可以开始了解美国种族意识的演变。忠诚的汤姆、无忧无虑的桑博斯、忠诚的奶妈、咧嘴笑的库恩、野蛮的布鲁特和瞪大眼睛的皮克尼人在动画片、故事片、流行歌曲、吟游诗人表演、广告、民间传说、家庭工艺品，甚至儿童儿歌中在屏幕上滚动。从19世纪20年代到民权时期，这些非人的漫画渗透到了流行文化中，并深深植根于美国人的心理。埃丝特·罗尔的叙述和受人尊敬的学者的评论揭示了这场长达150年的偏执游行的起源和毁灭性后果。《道德宣言》将每一种刻板印象历史地置于白人社会从奴隶制到今天为种族主义压迫辩护的不断变化的需求中。这些阴险的形象给美国黑人造成了毁灭性的损失，并继续破坏种族关系。道德通告已迅速成为大学、高中和公共图书馆收藏的支柱。它是美国历史、社会学、黑人研究、人类学、社会心理学、媒体研究以及任何与刻板印象和跨文化理解有关的培训项目的基本视听文本。ETHNIC NOTIONS以高度敏感的态度处理一个复杂而微妙的主题，使观众能够用更挑剔的眼光看待媒体和其他文化表现。这对那些说“；这只是一个玩笑"；
