    The virile black man stereotype? Not in the US. it’s apart of the myth that black men are naturally very strong and thuggish. It’s also usually paired with the concept of them being extremely sexual (think of the giant black penis stereotype and the constant fear mongering surrounding black men ‘stealing’ all the white women). These are extremely old stereotypes that harken back to when black slaves were viewed in a fashion closer to beasts of burden than to human beings.

    EDIT: woops, saw my typo, should be fixed now.
