stereotypes are proving true...

MAYBE IF YOU WOULD STOP BEING IGNORANT AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH OTHER CULTURES YOU WOULD SEE THAT THEIR ARE THE SAME KIND OF LOW LIFE PEOPLE IN ALL RACES!!!! WHY JUST LOOK AT THE FLAWS OF A CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE AND SAY IT PERTAINS TO THE WHOLE RACE!?!?

2009-02-04 14:19:35

Yes, but you people just seem to bread violence. Look at the news all this black on black crime and all these STD and babies you have. I think Obama is correct you need some personal responsibility

2009-02-04 14:26:47

I STAND BY WHAT I SAID THE FIRST TIME! WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!? DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE NEWS? IF SO I GUESS YOU BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS AND THE EASTER BUNNY TOO! WHEN PEOPLE KILL EACH OTHER YOU DON'T HEAR PEOPLE SAYING WHITE ON WHITE CRIME OR ANY OTHER RACE!!! IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO BUY INTO ANYTHING THE MEDIA OR MASSA TELLS YOU TO THINK! THE SPOTLIGHT IS ALWAYS ON THE NEGATIVE THINGS DONE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY,IF YOU THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT OTHER RACES DON'T HAVE LOTS OF BABIES, LIVE ON WELFARE, DO DRUGS, HAVE STD'S,KILL,STEAL,RAPE, COMMIT HATE CRIMES PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT WORLD YOU ARE LIVING IN!!!

It is obvious that this "person" is VERY ignorant and is looking for a fight just to to prove their theory. All blacks are angry. For someone who is trying to find better examples of african american cultures, this "person" chooses to come on this site and state their ignorance.Are you telling me you are using the information you find here to make a clearer decision? Clearly you are the one who is confused. I too am disappointed that since you do not live in a bubble you have only met 2 african american people in your life.Maybe you should ask yourself why haven't you gotten out more or met different people. Is it everyone else's fault that you allow yourself to remain ignorant? There are gangsta's in every culture. The mobsters are not black. The drug traffickers are not black. 99% of all mass murderers are white. There are more white people on welfare. I can go on and on but hopefully this will prompt you to turn off the tv and read a book or open your door and learn more culture

that you socialize with individuals that are unsavory and ignorant. What damn "black" thug do you all know that would hang around a square ass upward citizen that was white? So, what kind of trash are you? Where do you live that you only see stereotypical black people from the television show? Damn, I used to watch Roseanne, but I didn't think all white people where ugly fat slobs, with stupid kids. Damn, I watched Everybody Hates Raymond, and I never thought all white people have dumb ass brothers, a bitch ass mother in law who hate their wives. Damn, and we thought children can't seperate television from reality. Please tell me what show on t.v. have you seen that portray black American's in a bad light? The Cosby Show, Family Matters...damn, those are all old? What new Black shows do you see on t.v. that I should be offended? 106 and park is no different than that junk on MTV? Flavor of Love is just as trifling as Rock of Love/Real World? Black children who are missing or

Wives and Mother's who are murdered are not placed on the national news 95% of the time. So, what stereotypes are you speaking about?

2009-02-04 22:52:31

UMMMMMMMMM..... .. Some cultures are more dangerous then ours... If you watch cnn,msnbc, and other news channels.... who are the people mainly on there other cultures..... I mean come on now..... At least we dont sell our kids or leave our for dead or poison our husbands. come one look at it

2009-02-05 04:02:14

sorry but i have to agree with the author the music these gangs its sad and its getting out of control and sorry so geeky our culture does those things too and another thing stop with the black on black hate hell hate in general its ugly out there why do we have to keep these cycles going? it starts with the parents we got to get more involved in our kids lifes and schools make sure they are doing what theyre suppose to do instead of letting the streets, music and the media raise them teach them how to handle situations in a postive manner im sick and tired of people pointing fingers at the person that calls the faults out all they are trying say is that we need to do better whats so wrong with that?

2009-02-05 04:54:23

There is nothing wrong with wanting to do better. What we are all disagreeing with is the fact that this person is saying that the stereotypes are proving true because the only black he has come in contact were ghetto backsliders and drug dealers. If that is the case then you fit in that catergory as well. This ignorance is why black people in general always have a hard time getting ahead even though they lead clean lives. You are part of the problem as well because instead of seeing the silliness in this person post you turn around and continue to point the finger. Another black siding with a ignorant white person. Another crabs in the barrel example.

Where are you meeting these people. Maybe if you quit focusing on sterotypes so much and relax , you'll meet someone who you enjoy being with. Sterotypes were created by ignorant people, skin doesn't make a person good or bad, good and bad in every race.

2009-02-16 19:59:50

YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED: AN ARGUMENT! SO DO US ALL A FAVOR AND STAY YOUR IN DENIAL RACIST ASS OFF THIS SITE!

2009-02-28 00:01:47

Maybe you just attract negative people. That is just ignorant to say.Theirs good and bad in every ethnic race. I know you aint saying the white race is postive. You'd better check your history.

2009-03-30 21:31:35

1st of all I want to start by saying all blacks are not like that. Were I'm from yes there are a lot of negative black people but there also alot of black people that are trying to break those stereo types. Its funny how people are quick to judge others but when your in a situation and someone critisize you, you have excuses. I'm black , I love being black, and I see a lot of whats going on in the world with our black people, everybody want to rap, play ball, sing, when they feel like that may be an easier way out(not all of them but alot of them). And yes I would love to see more black doctors, lawyers, and judges but there are alot of ignorance in the black community about those types of things. in this world those types of careers are what makes the world go round. And with saying that I know where we stand as a people but I refuse to give up on my people because through all of our flaws we are 1 of the most beautiful groups of people here on earth. It has been hard for our people
