Black women are drama?!?

Alright yall. So, I've been internet-less for awhile now. So, the only time I get to use and stay on the internet is on the rare occasions when i'm in class or when I can pick up an open connection long enough to do something for a few minutes (like now...shhh don't tell anyone!). I'm hoping i'll be able to get Comcast installed soon.

Anyway, here is a random thought that I wanted to share. I really dislike when people, both men and women, eliminate an entire race (especially of their own race) because of stereotypes. Let me explain. For example, I was reading something from a guy I know saying that he won't date black women because they cause too much drama.What?? This upsets me but not because I am a black woman. It upsets me because I and millions of other black women are being put into this box of being loud and full of drama. But even beyond this scenario, I'm disturbed when I hear women saying that all black men aren't *ish and they will only date men of other races or the Africans who say they can't date Americans because they are lazy and uneducated or people of other religions saying how they would never date Christians because they are all judgmental and hypocritical. There are a ton of examples and they are all ridiculous. People, we have got to do better. Your few experiences with one particular group of people should NEVER be generalized to a whooole population of people. And I say this for every situation and not just dating. I love inter-racial dating and think it is a beautiful thing. However, I do not like it when the reason for the color/ethnicity/racial crossing is for ignorant reasons such as those listed above.Who are you to say that every white man is kind and respectful? Who are you to say that every black woman is loud and full of drama? It's 2010!!! When will we finally see each person as an individual and not as a representative for a whole population of people?
