let’s be honest …

Saying you don’t date black women because they are ALL loud, and argumentative, and un-submissive is ignorant as FUCK. Now you guys know that I don’t usually curse, but this shit is out of control! We are in the year 2012, where people are becoming more accepting of all ethnicities, religious preferences, and sexuality, yet this ignorant ass comment is allowed to slide ?  

First of all, you are making a generalized statement, which was probably based on the media’s portrayal of African-American women and/or your few encounters with this ethnicity. 

  • Don’t believe everything you see on TV
  • If you encounter nothing but loud, obnoxious black women, I think its time for a change of scenery. 

I am all for inter-racial dating I believe the love is blind, but when you make a racist and biased answer like this, well its upsetting to say the least. I consider myself to be a well-spoken, humble, woman of African descant, and do not relate at all to the loud, argumentative, and generally ghetto uneducated black woman stereotype. 

Quick history lesson,  Women in general have been stereotyped in the US since it was founded. Black women specifically have been made into the Mammy, Welfare Mother, Slut, ect. all as a means to oppress and change our perception of ourselves.

  • The Mammy was the big, fat, black woman who looked after her ‘Masta’s’ children, she was made to look so undesirable, when in reality most slaves who worked in the house, were actually the object of sexual desires and often raped.
  • The Welfare Mother was a woman who was depicted to be sexually promiscuous and unresponsible, having too many children and not being able to provide for them. She was the woman who had more than one baby daddy, and just used the government for free handouts. In actuality now, there are more single white females in North America using the welfare system, then any minority. 
  • The Slut is the one who is sexually promiscuous. The woman for whom enough is never enough. This one is a bit tricky, because we have music which promotes promiscuity however if a woman does she is deemed unworthy, however if a man does it he is almost praised. 

Second of all, the same could be said about black men, oh how they all are dead-beat dads, have no education, no ambitions, and all just sit and do nothing all day. Or how about latino men, how all they do is drink and beat their women? Or maybe Asian Men, and their small penis’ and inability to show emotions? . . . It’s not nice to believe stereotypes is it? 

So seeing as how this is now 2012 it makes no sense, that some of these stereotypes still exist today. We should be educated and aware enough to not generalize so much. 

Also just a quick side note, when you say un-submissive, that kind of makes you out to be some sort of misogynist, and in todays society that’s not really a flattering trait to possess . Also women from all ethnic backgrounds have the capability to be loud and obnoxious, so don’t be fooled into thinking its just a black thing! 

Now you know.
