- loyal Toms/ uncle tom : older black slave, turn of the century, smiling missing teeth, content slave not a threat to whites, dependable and reliable, weak image of black man
- Mammy: caregiver for master's kids, loving to master's kids, tyrant to her own kids, unattractive, pitch black, showed happiness of servants
- sambo/minstrel:laughing, docile, stupid and lazy, dance and sing, care-free, they happy darky
- coon: replaced the sambo post slavery, showed blacks could not handle freedom, a buffoon that was in .... sometimes violent
