Don’t Play With Me: 6 Things You Don’t Joke About With Black Women

May 2nd, 2012 - By Veronica Wells

As a whole, the black community has a great sense of humor. When you’ve been through as much shyte as black people have been through, a good sense of humor is almost essential. Without it, you just might lose your mind. But there’s a limit to everything. Some “jokes” are too close to home to be funny. These aren’t hard fast rules, but when it comes to black women and these areas, you might want to tread lightly or completely avoid them altogether.

    Seems to me that this list is universal. I mean money? C’mon. And hair (though, admittedly, black folks have special issues in this area) and kids are really across the board. These things are not necessarily exclusive to the black race (unless you talk about afro-centric hairstyles and our history of slavery among other historical facts).

    You left out the jokes/comments about the coveted FAKE HAIR that black women flaunt 24/7.

  • BabaPuppe

NOT  A GOOD one for sure..i will take blk hair anyday..

  • CK

    HOW ABOUT OUR EDUCATION?????!!!!

  • Bluekissess

    These “list” annoy me. I’m sure all women from all walks of life can relate to this “list”. Why does it have to be a “black women” thing?

    • Vwells1

      These lists are a “black woman” thing because this is a black woman’s website. 

      • Phillis

        Why are there no “White Women’” web sites

        • Reallyfabu

          Why are you concerned if there are any white women sites? There are millions of sites geared toward white women like everything else. So why is it a big deal there is a site geared toward black women?

        • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XI6C7WCJOOLIYEEJBBR2LB3254 penguinlover

          Because you haven’t started one yet. No one is stopping you.

    • Sonrisa

      Seriously. There was no point in making this list. Predictable.

      • NEICEY

        THERE IS A POINT OF THE LIST. IT IS TO LET THE READER KNOW HOW BLACK WOMEN ARE NOT ALL BLACK WOMEN. AND IT’S TO HUMOR THE READERS

    • Mls2698

      Do black women link their sanity to men??? #4 contradicts #6. No man has ever called me crazy…….I wish he would. I hear ya

    • NEICEY

      BECAUSE IT’S FROM A BLACK WOMAN’S PERSPECTIVE. I’M A BLACK WOMAN AND GREW UP IN A HOUSE HOLD FULL OF NOTHING BUT STRONG BLACK WOMEN. IF YOU BREAK ANY OF THOSE RULES ON THAT LIST, YOU BETTER BELIEVE ALL HELL’S GOING TO BREAK LOOSE. ALL I GOT TO SAY IS THIS YOU BETTER DUCK AND RUN FOR COVER, NOT ONLY DO HAVE TO DEAL WITH MOMS, YOU GOT AUNTS,SISTER,COUSINS NEICES AND DON’T FORGET GRANDMA DYNOMITE. LMAO ! JS !

      • Walmex

        Another thing you can’t joke about is how “strong” they are. Just pretend it’s true.

    My girls r first, mom,money in this order. Everything else could get a pass.

  • DXTASY

    What about age and weight?

    • Dal

      That’s a white woman thing. Most black women don’t age that badly.

  • RoyalQueen

    @Madame Noire: You forgot food,but everything else is correct.

  • Ay

    Wow, that’s pretty much everything. I think women have more of a sense of humor than this article gives credit. I think it depends on the context, too.

  • L-Boogie

    I trip on everyone except men and mom.  Sometimes they are both annoying as hell.
