When Bogle uses the term “familiar images” he is referencing films falling back into the old, racist habits. They were once again abusing the black community by declining things such as strong black men, as scary abusers with no moral code or remorse. They were being given no redeeming factors and simply being used to scare the audience or other characters. This is seem in films such as Traffic where a large and deemed scary black men is shirtless and intends to abuse and rape the character Michael Douglas was playing.
What I found interesting within this chapter was honestly what I discussed above. It is almost baffling to me to hear about how films in the early 2000s were reverting back to old racist ways. The 2000s seemed like such a time of change and progression to me but maybe that is because I was a naive child. I also fully developed as a person within the 2010s where leaps and bounds of progression was made. I still thought that the early 2000s would be paving the way for the wave that would come in the 2010s. I thought for sure within these early 2000s movie that pavement would be seen. It is sad to know that the film industry did fall back on itself when today it is a ever growing diverse community set on making things better.
