              <text>Stepin Fetchit, whose real name was Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry, was one of the first successful African-American actors in Hollywood. Unfortunately, his fame was achieved by accepting movie roles which were caricatures made entirely of negative black stereotypes. He made millions of dollars, but this was only possible because of the negative characters he played.</text>
