White Women Do It, Too: 8 Things Black Women Can’t Get Away With

April 16th, 2011 - By LaShaun Williams


7. Wearing low-rise skinny jeans.
These were not created with shapely, plump backsides in mind. Slim, slender, thick or fat—low-rise skinny jeans are a black woman’s recipe for plumber’s crack. They work best to highlight the barely-there bum and straight up and down physique. Our pants need to come all the way to the waist in order to provide complete coverage for the booty.

    Most of these are trifling stuff. Why would black women want to do these things. We have higher standards for ourselves, and that’s a good thing.

    I do agree with most of these especially the one about being loud. I get really irritated when I hear white women talking loudly and nobody seems to care even though they are talking about absolutely nothing. I just don’t like loud people black or white. White women can even get angry and start cursing and nobody will tell them to leave and security isn’t even called. I guess it’s upsetting because white women are always given the benefit of the doubt whereas black women are routinely scrutinized for stereotypical behavior. But loud is ghetto or trailer trash regardless if your black or white.

    The only thing I don’t agree with is the low rise jeans. Low rise jeans look better on black women in my opinion than white women. Most of the white women I see with low rise jeans have the worst case of muffin top. Maybe you mean that we have bigger butts and thighs but smaller waists so we typically have to go up two sizes just for jeans to fit.

  • Kim

    I have told my friends the same thing. No, we can NOT leak a Kim K tape and develop a million dollar empire after the fact.

    I wish everyone would just realize we are individuals and shouldn’t be classified by race or ethnic background. Every woman is different no matter what the race if she wants to get hers on the first date go for it. If she wants to wait for a ring and papers right on! these “statistics” come from women who want to be surveyed. The audience could have been manipulated to show the results they wanted. They could have surveyed black women who are more open about their sexual encounters, and surveyed white women who are conservative as hell.

    I will say the pregnant one rings true. I was married, 30 and pregnant, I got the sad or disgusted “looks” all the time. I went to register for my shower and the lady actually looked shocked when I corrected her and said my husband wasn’t my boyfriend. All I did was shrug … oh well

    Stop hating on Kim K. all of the time! Stop comparing a girl who has had sex, mostly within relationships, and probably a couple of one night stands JUST LIKE other women to wh**ish women like Superhead who has been rumored to have slept with as many as 100 or more men. Superhead is like the Wilt Chamberlain or Tiger Woods of men. The only difference in Kim & a lot of other women is that men consider her to be very beautiful just
    like they consider Bey& Halle to be just as beautiful. Paris Hilton had a sex tape that leaked & it actually took her lazy, socialite status down a peg. At least Kim K. has business smarts and works, unlike so many other girls who have been born rich. Amber Rose has been rumored to have slept her way up. Where is the hate towards her? It’s just that, as an African-American, I really do not know of any African-American women, who are BEAUTIFUL, that had a sex tape leaked. That does not mean that we do not or have not made a sex tape. Making a sex tape with a man that you feel that you can trust does not make you a wh**ish woman. Some men are just very good at tricking women. Ray J is so low-grade & keeps getting lower, from how he dealt with Whitney H. & on & on. Also, some of the pretty African-American women who have been “groupies” for celebs and athletes are married to rich men. We just need to stop hating on Kim K. as if she has done something that we cannot do or have not done. Plenty of African-American women have done similarly without being wh**ish, just as Kim has not been wh**ish.

    wow RIDICULOUSLY racist. i think this article is utterly ridiculous.

  • itallpinktome

    Women of all races….shut your mouths and open your legs. That’s all us guys care about.

  • Big ol poor white girl

    I cant believe so many think white girls are like this. I cant get away with any of this stuff either n i am white and big n tall with out of control hair and a big butt and tummy and no fashion sense and I look kinda man-ish even and I cant help it its just the way i am built. The white girl the author is referring to doesn’t exist and I know of plenty of Black girls that Can get away with that stuff. Pretty small-ish thin girls of any race can get away with anything and plus size girl who are poor any of of ANY race cant . I think its funny and also kind of dangerous that you all think that white girls are all the same and all have it better than you just on virtue of being white. it has more to do with being pretty thin and having nice clothes and a good education and some money. And these stupid low rise stretchy jeans don’t fit anyone and they are truly form hell. And there are tons of Poor white folks w no money who get discriminated against for being poor and ugly and fat and dressed poorly.

      You just totally reduced the social implications of black vs white women to fashion? You dodged all the other comparisons the author made. And no, I am pretty sure that the author doesn’t think all white women are the same and the same goes for black women. But that doesn’t mean her ability to see strong patterns in men’s reaction(esp. black men) to black and white women don’t exist. You most likely have benefitted from your whiteness and didn’t even know it.

    Advice for black people: Put less effort into blaming white people for your problems and instead put more effort into improving yourself and then you might get out of the ghetto. Most of the people going on about how they are “advancing that black community” are doing the exact opposite.

    A number of these are racist, if you ask me. Loud cackling? I don’t care what color you are, it is not appropriate out in public. It’s not a race thing. Speaking in “baby voice” is just as irritating from a white woman as from a black woman. I don’t know any white woman doing it that wouldn’t totally turn off a man of any color. Who the heck cares about a nose job? Not me. Walking around in a straight face? Any woman doing that who does not smile at least some of time comes off the same way. Race is not a deciding factor here. Getting ‘knocked’ up. It is a fact that 70% of black children are born out of wedlock. That percentage is far lower outside of the black community. And a lot of black women have children by multiple men and many black men have far too many children by far too many women (have 9 children by 6 baby mamas). That would be very much frowned upon in the white community, too. The fact is that the black culture needs to change. It is not alright for black men to father so many children by so many different women and usually not pay child support. This is an issue that blacks themselves need to resolve.

    I’ve never done any of these things…

  • Tina Brown

    Jeans don’t look better on a black body when it is out of shape.

  • Nappyhippiechick

    So black men are telling me what I can’t get away with as a black woman? And I’m suppose to listen to them because…. why?

    They have already quite proven themselves they can’t handle me and want a ‘Becky.’ So F’em, I’m going to get a Brad or a Clive or some white guy doesn’t give me stupid’ass ‘rules’ to live by.

    • Tina Brown

      Sorry doesn’t work that way. This things apply across the board. Basically, black women need to carry themselves with self-respect and manage their image at all times. I do that naturally.

  • Angela

    White girls can get away being gold diggers. Black men don’t have not one problem with a white girl being a gold diggers. They give them all their money and have a huge smile on their face. Also white girls can get child support money, alimony money from black guys with no problem at all. They can also can get sloppy drunk, have a foul mouth. cuss and fight.

    • Tina Brown

      That’s true, it’s not the same for us, but I don’t mind presenting myself well. I would never want to get sloppy drunk, sleep with someone on the first date, or even be a prostitute, oops I mean gold digger.

  • Crystal Henry

    I’m white and I can’t go around “straight faced” without people asking me what I’m so mad about. I think some of these things come down to the individual person, not necessarily race.

  • Antoinette

    I had no idea the Kardashians were white. This article is just generalities and ruffling feathers.
