Are black women really this bad?! Is this honestly how we are all perceived?
Ahhh... the age old topic of the breakdown of black relationships! This topic will never die because of just how prevalent this issue is. My initial reaction to this clip was to laugh. It really is quite humorous but is the underlying issue really something to laugh at? After seeing the few male reactions on my initial post and talking to a couple of males who say this is precisely what they've heard from black women, this clip forces me to really question if I am being represented by this character by default simply due to the color of my skin. These are serious generalizations about black women and I'm really curious if not just black men, but if other men AND women of other ethnic groups also share this perception of or have had this type of experience with black women? Are there no other women who are "like" this? Do Hispanic or Asian people not have these types of discussions? Whites? Has anyone ever dealt with a black woman who does NOT fit into this stereotype? Please someone let me know...
The same thing that makes you laugh will make you cry! This is like Chris Rock's stand-up format: Funny but real truth that makes you laugh but also think. This is serious to me because of experience I can relate. This may not be every [Black] woman but I know and know of so many who are indeed like this and even WORSE. However, if the woman is out of order, check the status and position of the man. Furthermore, THE BLACK WOMAN IS WITH THE BLACK MAN WHILE THE NEGRO WOMAN IS WITH THE WHITE MAN...If not physically, his ideology and mentality. Or she turns to the lust and fabricated love of another woman. It's all by design. No coincidence why WIC and Section 8 AND JOB POSITIONS ARE GIVEN TO [BLACK] WOMEN AND EXCLUDE OR PENALIZE THE PRESENCE OF THE [BLACK] MAN IN THE DYNAMICS OTHER THAN FOR CHILD SUPPORT...
ReplyDeleteShellz,
ReplyDeleteIF you are represented by this character its not by default...its because of the actions of your peers. Generally speaking, that video is exactly how women are here in Hollywood, Ga. Honestly, I've heard every single line the cartoon lady said come out of a black women's mouth, but again, thats Hollywood, Ga.
Don't believe there's a Hollywood, Ga...on a Friday night go to "the lobby"@ twelve then go to echelon 3000, see the difference.
I don't know about other races, but, I know its not like this in other places. For example, I when go visit my family in louisiana the folks actually go the club to dance and have fun. The men aren't pretending to be ballers and the women don't have their nose in the air with the "don't talk to me face."
It get a little sick to see how fake my city has become. (Sidenote, does anyone remember bar district buckhead? With the world bar, uranus, the libary, kaos, ottos, the original tounge and groove, makos, chilli pepper and about 10 other clubs or bars in like litterally 3 blocks. When all you had to do to have a good time was find a parking space. When the roads were packed with folks walking/standing around to the point where parts of peachtree would be blocked off. And nobody went home till the sun came up and that was EVERY SINGLE weekend)
Atlanta is like the only place people come, make 40k carry on like they're special or some kind of big-shot, and think the universe revolves around them. And I think that's what it all comes down to, for men and women both.
Behold, a culture that has crucified honesty, loyalty, and integrity; praises selfishness, arrogance and conceitedness, then, wonders why the divorce rate is 50%.
@ James...but that sounds more like an Atlanta thing rather than a black woman thing. So that's what I would like to know....is it just "us"? I completely agree with you on how this city is and has become. I've only been here 7 years but I was here in time to catch the last of the Buckhead bar district that you speak of. I've seen the change. By year 3 I was over it; meaning over Atlanta. Same ole stuff, same ole fakeness and it's honestly not for me.
ReplyDeleteI can admit that I've said some of these things she has said but I don't think I'm anywhere close to this extreme, although I do have "peers" like you say, that this closely reminds me of. Yet, I still feel like any type of woman could be represented here and men too. Men are just as confusing and contradictory at times. I've heard the what's up with the I wanna freak but she can't be no hoe, you wanna see her on the church pew on Sundays but bent over shakin it in front of you all the other nights... I wanna bad chick but she can't have an attitude...she got her OWN but she need to know how to let me be a man....this can be confusing depending on ones interpretation. I don't think it's just us.
Here's a comment that someone posted on the link on FB rather than on here but if anyone would like to respond, I def wanted to know what others (men) thought: "What these type of women need to understand is that us men are settling when we marry them. WE ALL SETTLE when it comes to a partner!! Hell, don't think that the guy you are with now didn't settle for yo ass. He wanted someone WAAAAY FINER!!! BUT... he settled and got you. so these type of women need to learn to settle or be alone, or continue to be dogged out by the type of guy that they see in their little fairy tale. These type of women will be the most lonely, unhappy, bitter old women."
