Stereotypes were nothing new in Foxy Brown. Foxy Brown was the protagonist of the film, but she also played the role of a mafia servant when she infiltrated the organization as a sex slave. Link Brown represented the “ghetto”, he was a street hustler, he represented an uneducated black man, looking for a way out in the wrong areas. Stereotypes are used to validate perceptions that have been held in society. It is a form of control and repression of a subject's unconscious desires. A form of defense mechanism according to Berger. Berger explains that this type of defense is part of the ego's instinct to be in control and to ward off the anxieties of those who carry out the repression. Repression is the barrier between the conscious and the unconscious so as not to mix and bring to consciousness the true anxiety of unpleasant eventualities
