Abstract :

Metastereotypes can significantly influence the behavior of every group member in the social strata. A national survey conducted by Time/CNN which delves on blacks' metastereotypes was used to analyze blacks' perceptions of the level of antiblack stereotyping among whites. Results reveal that blacks perceived that most whites regard them negatively, hence three clusters of dimensions were found, namely, social pathologies, racial inferiority, and positive images.
