An exmaple of this which stands out to me, is the fact King Lepold had told the world, and to these enslaved people he was teaching them how to work, and they were "lazy", but he was actually working them until their deaths, pitiing them in horrible conditions and extreme to impossible tasks that were painful in of in itself, which if the idea of lazy black people was not already existing, he popularized and helped introgereate this negative steroype that exists to this day, one example of the harm his actions have done, and what makes it worse, is there was an understanding these people who were forced to work, had to work hard or die, so there was also a common phrase of "working like a slave", so these phrases coexisting meant there was an understanding how purposefuly misconstrued the idea of "lazy" Africans, and was just used to justifiy the crimes done against them for Leopold's own benefit
