Outdated stereotypes need to die

I've seen this discussed a few times today, and people seem to think it's either offensive, or that people should lighten up and take a joke. I'm interested in whether black women think these stereotypes are fun, or if they find them offensive. I find it aggravating that when I see a black women on television she's inevitably playing some sort of "sassy black lady" character, or acting as a "magical negro" or white girl's bff. And now we have fashion houses profiting with the antiquated "Mammy" stereotype. Will we EVER get past these caricatures? http://colorlines.com/archives/2012/09/dolce_gabbana_sends_racist_mammy_earrings_down_the_catwalk.html
