African American ladies...why so sad?

Does any one else ever notice that they’re full of anger almost all the times (except for mrs obama) but it really gets to me. They talk like they’re about to fight and have no respect what so ever (majority of them) for elders or people.

What happened???!

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

No, they might look angry but they're nice.....well most of them are nice.

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

The nice ones are just great, super ladies, and the not so nice ones...are really bad.

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

I like them. They are SUPER confident!

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

These ladies for sure have a huge burden to bear. Their "men" (african americans) have a 75 percent chance of having a criminal record by age 18. They are very hard working and typically very religious. Yet, so very judgemental and angry. They have a point for sure...I'd be angry too to be in a lose-lose situation. But when I get their "tood", their anger, for no reason, for nothing that I personally have done to them, I;m sorry but that puts me off. Totally. I never agreed to slavery and do not feel that I should have to pay for the sins of my ancestors. Maybe I'm wrong here...but then again, heck if i were black, I'd have been able to go to college full time instead of taking 8 years to get my degree working full time and going to uni part time at night.

Re: African American ladies…why so sad?

You know I done my Sociology coursework on something related to this. :smack:

Just thought to let you know :snooty::phati:

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

Can you share it with me? I have a lot of employees that have to deal with them all day long.

Re: African American ladies…why so sad?

only if u were careful , you would have noticed at least something that you are missing now dealing wid them … apart from releasing stress :hehe:

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

wow,
wow,
wow.
what an incredibly stereotypical racist and downright silly post. i cannot believe you even posted or thnk this way.
have you ever heard of oppression? white privilege? and

To combine black women with `angry black women' limits our ability to understand black women's context.
This statement here is almost an illustration of the word (IGNORANCE) to make an uneducated view towards men or a peoples suggests a great misunderstanding and ignorant view because you dont know the full story, its illogical to paint a whole group with one brush and call them all by the same name, when each is a whole unto itself.

In academic research on interracial relationships, as well as popular discourses such as film and television, Black women are often characterized as angry and opposed to interracial relationships. Yet the voices of Black women have been largely neglected

Black women’s oppositionnot simply rooted in jealousy and anger toward white women but is based on white racism, Black internalization of racism, and what interracial relationships represent to Black women and signify about Black women’s worth. The impact of racism and sexism are clear.

Dude, relax you're worrying too much here you're gona have a heart attack. And yes MAJORITY of them are ANGRY and UPSET about everything. That's just the truth, you can't justify the white oppression crap for their actions. That's long been gone and guess what we now have a black president. I deal with these folks all the time (heart of Philly) and you don't know what I see in these ladies. You can't change the truth, they love yelling, fighting, shouting and always ready for violence. NOT ALL OF THEM but a lot of them. Those that are nice are EXTREMELY nice and then you have the crazy ones that just can't control themselves.

Grow up and admit the truth already. These sweet words of yours won't change the bitter truth at all. I don't know what part of town you are from miss fairy princess but you need to go experience them yourself.

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

Some of them r so nice and some r so bad--

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

maybe they dont like yo face..

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

queer - if you read the post I mentioned that I have a lot of employees who face them and would like to know the reason for being angry/upset/pissed/ready to kill almost all the time.

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

who are these people anyway? and where do you "face" them?

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

These people ?? It's Philadelphia :)

Also same in Detroit (visited there last year)

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

like all black ppl in those cities? :-O

Re: African American ladies...why so sad?

coca cola- you really think that because we have a black president racism is dead? racism and white privilege exist today, even in the most liberal of areas. it is embedded into our society and our politics and infrastructure.
read up on white privilege.

Never said it was dead..please don't pick on small points. In general black ladies are violent, LOUD, full of anger and that hasn't changed. You came up with the reason of "NEGLECTION" which is a lame excuse.

This always strikes me as funny. We as Pakistanis, as Muslims have spent most of this decade overcoming stereotypes and correcting misaligned accusations. Remember all that terrorist stuff? Four wives? Disrespect and disregard for women? Ignorance? Hate our brothers? And what about being Pakistani? Don't we all smell bad? Talk in strong accents? Participate in corruption? Encourage violence? Civil discord?

These are all generalities based on a perception of a race/ethnicity. All those things I've mentioned above are often associated with our culture and faith. Does it accurately describe us? No! We aren't terrorists, we don't smell bad, we're well educated, hate corruption and love our brother Muslims. And yet, we are still inaccurately stereotyped everyday.

Knowing this, how can you be so ignorant as to take a group of individuals, a minority much like ourselves, and PIGEONHOLE them? To say that black women have attitudes and always have a chip on their shoulder is narrow minded. I know many black women, most do not act like this at all. On the other hand, I do know tons of people who have horrible attitudes, and not all of them are black nor are they women.

Don't take offense to this but, maybe the problem is with YOU! Maybe you don't know how to approach people, or how to be empathetic. What line of work are you in? You seem to have got your mind made up that all black women act this way. So if you're going to treat them that way, then surely they will react to you accordingly.

If you work in an inner city, chances are that you are dealing with African Americans since they are a very marginalized community. You have no idea what anyone's life is like, and what circumstances lead to their behavior. And if you do not treat them with respect, you are guaranteed to get disrespect in response. I mean, hey, take the slums of Pakistan. Go shopping in one of their bazaars, she how brash the aunties are in dealing with the store owners. They yell and scream and have major attitudes.

There is a lot of good in a lot of people. I guarantee you that if you treat people with respect, worth, value and kindness you will receive that in response.

By the way, your response to Pakifairy was very little minded. You called her a fairy-tale princess and asked her to grow up. In my opinion, it is you that needs to grow up and learn to be mature. You need to learn about tolerance, empathy and compassion. Right now you sound arrogant, ignorant and narrow minded. In which case, I hope those ladies give you what you deserve.

They are the most friendliest creatures on the planet, once they know you don't look down upon them.
I loved being around them. the are caring and funny.
