The picture of the article is not the best example, but the article is referring to this common black stereotype:
Quote:
At 200 pounds plus, most of that pure attitude, she is hard to miss.
Her onscreen presence takes on many variations, but she is easily recognizable by a few defining traits. Other than her size, she is almost always black. She typically finds herself in an exchange that is either confrontational or embarrassing. And her best line is often little more than a sassy "mmm hmmm."
This caricature, playing on stereotypes of heavy black women as boisterous and sometimes aggressive, has been showing up for some time in stand-up comedy routines and in movies like "Big Momma's House" and "Diary of a Mad Black Woman."
