I know that you all have heard them, or some of you may have even formed them. I would like to know, in all realness, what are some of the sterotypes that you have heared concerning blacks, i.e. all black people eat fried chicken, blacks are lazy. As you can tell by looking at my picture, I am black, but don't hold back anything I promise I won't get offended, but I will speak my mind on the particular comment that you make. Have fun!


Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive -- the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

That they have big willies :


I am the person you see and hear, nothing more, nothing less. Don't like it then that's your problem, not mine!

Some people say that black people love watermelon.


"TFS" RULES above all others Except for... StreatorOnline Home @ link [soforum.proboards103.com]

Not really any about blacks to be honest, some other races and groups though.

Um, i heard Jews tend to victemize themselves, like milk a siutation for all it's worth. I heard alot of people saying that, even Jews in fact...um thats about all i heard. Oh, i spoke to a black guy once who reckoned all white people are racist.

I've heard the stereotypes you've mentioned, sure, but I feel like most stereotypes, they are just that. They don't apply to everyone, and therefore I don't really pay attention to them


Damn right I'm good in bed, I can sleep for hours!

You love it. You know you do.

I haven't really heard any, or if I have none have stuck in my mind. But then I've never lived around a huge black population. *shrugs* I'm no help.

oh wait, black people like chicken, yeah i've heard that one.

......some black brothers are gonna be pissed youre giving away their secret (not all of them are huge)

LOL

I actually have never heard one. When I was 12 I was friends with a black girl (the only one) at my school. I had grown up in Montana so hadnt been friends with anyone African American but I was with Native Americans, Hispanic etc. Well I never really realized it till I grew up and my dad talked to me about how much it meant to her family that we were sooo close. I never even thought about it.

I do also have people ask me if Im mixed.....could you help me figure out a good way to ask "why do you want to know?" It baffles me sometimes.

You know, this may seem odd to some, but I really don't like the term African-American. I was born in America, and I have been here all of my life. Never have I been to Africa, nor do I plan to go there any time soon! I tell people all the time (especially whites) call me black, it's not offensive.

My son is mixed and people always laugh and laugh when they hear his favorite food is watermelon. They start in with, "Does he like fried chicken and orange soda, too?"

So besides the things mentioned; I hear blacks like ribs and turkey necks and collared greens and shlitz malt liquor. I hear that they are more likely to be criminals and poor and uneducated.

I don't think it's a huge issue here because we have almost no black people. I think I've met maybe 6 fully black people here ever. There are a fair number of mixed people and a ton of hispanics and polynesians, but very few blacks so most people save their racism for the more prevalent groups.
