Stereotypes of the Queen, Feminism and Respectability Politics

A vlogger discusses the four primary stereotypes of black women in media: the Mammy, the Jezebel, the Sapphire, and the Queen. She criticizes the "Queen" label as a tool of respectability politics that creates a binary between "good" and "bad" black women. The hosts discuss how this term is used in modern intersectional circles and its perception within the LGBT community.
