The "Alligator Bait" Stereotype was mostly seen on the late nineteenth century to the mid twentieth century. It depicted the horrendous practice of Alligator hunters that used African-American kids to bait alligators.

Today, Alligator Bait, is used as a derogatory term against African-American people.

I, in no way, want to condone or promote this stereotypes.
