African-American negative sexual stereotypes

Click to go to Chris' BlogChris Utley:

I just saw "She Hate Me" and I'm compelled to start another round-table discussion.

Two questions:

Question #1.
What's your take on the depiction of African-American negative sexual stereotypes in entertainment? Do those stereotypes reinforce any of your personal beliefs. Please be honest, guys.

(Incidentally, I was supposed to write a review of "Soul Plane" a few months ago but refused to write it in protest of the film's blatant sexual stereotypes).

Question #2. Do you believe that sexuality is a gift from God or a curse from Satan. Has there been any films you've seen that have promoted sexuality as a gift from God that we need not be ashamed of?
