These caricatures are shown in the present day through various ways: social media, TV shows, slang, etc. They've either evolved past their original term definitions; either becoming more or equally disrespectful imagery of blackness or been reclaimed by the black community. For example, the N-word and its use now in the black community as a term of neutrality or familiarity, or to friendly address someone. The black community has reclaimed it for mostly positive means (outside of rap). These caricatures have shaped the way people outside of the black culture see blackness; allowing for many misunderstandings and stereotypes to blossom. 

Evolved into the stereotype of the Thug. They are still animalistic and dangerous but they no longer simply looking for unwanted sexual gratification. They have merged Nat's and Brute's characteristics into one stereotype taking the worst part from both. The Thug is a symbol of the dangers of the black men's jealousy of the white man and the caution that needs to be held whilst around them. The thug is seen throughout African American music, shows, and social media presence. For example, 21 savage became popular for his violent and gruesome lyrics and image. He would be a present-day representation of the brute for the simple reason that he expresses his animalistic and brutal nature. 

This caricature has not necessarily evolved in the media but it has become a staple for black media. This caricature is so popular that it's used in almost every black movie and TV show. The only difference is that the character is played typically by men cosplaying as these older women. This makes it even more offensive to black women because not only are those outside of our race placing us in this standard but our men. For example, Madea in all Tyler Perry movies or Big Momma in Big Momma's house. Both characters are portrayals of Mammys.

Evolved into the "Angry Black Woman" stereotype. The Sapphire is shown throughout present-day media as a tired, over-aggressive black woman. There's no difference in these characters except for their new dialogue and roles. The sapphire is known as the sassy mammy signifying that she has a family or someone to take care of. Now the sapphire presently known as the angry black woman doesn't necessarily need a family to take care of she could just be a hard-working woman who has a lot of stored anger. For example, Angela Basset's character in Waiting to Exhale, a very angry and vindictive woman who is at the end of her rope and snaps when her husband's affair is finally revealed.

Evolved into the coon but not because they are the same at all. This is due to the neglect of historical educators parts for not teaching the true meaning of both terms. In today's society, a lot of the things and traits of Uncle Tom are associated with the coon because do not understand the definitions of the terms. For example, Uncle Ruckus, the character in the black adult animation called Boondocks is seen as a coon because he is very loyal to the white man and also demeans black people who are not. Unfortunately, as we've learned these are traits of Uncle Tom.
