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

April 16th, 2011 - By LaShaun Williams

It seems like every week there is a new study about black women ranking number one in something perceived negatively—abortions, births out of wedlock, multiple baby fathers. And, among the popular defenses is that black women are not alone in these statistics. “White women do it, too” is one of the most common excuses.

Black, white, yellow, brown—we are all one in the same in that we come from the same species; but, it would be silly not to acknowledge that we do come from varying creeds. We are culturally and genetically bred differently; and, society has been conditioned to see black and white women in conflicting regards. Thus, we are impacted differently by similar actions.

Here are common things white women do, too, that we just can’t get away with:

    If you act Black you are “ghetto” and falling into stereotypes. If you
    try to improve yourself, have good diction, have a good career and
    actually made it through life without making mistakes 1 through 8 then
    you’re “acting white.” I
    am beautiful woman and I love good man…..inter racial romance is my dream… so I
    joined —blackwhitePlanet.С0M—–it’s where to- connect with
    beautiful and excellent people!Darned if you do, darned if you don’t. It stinks.

    Racist bullcrap

    It’s true white women can be loud and lack class, swear every second word and people think it’s cute, black women do the same and they are being ghetto, a double standard.

    • Tina Brown

      I think it’s how its done. Ghettoness is rough, tough and masculine in nature. White women who curse would be viewed more as white trash. Same thing essentially.

  • Jamal Jackson

    This is some racist crap…racist against white people. How hypocritical!

  • Cglov

    This sh*ts racist.. White girls and black girls–were the same. And last time I checked white guys don’t like easy girls either. That’s ignorant.

  • Megan

    Women arguing with other women. What else is new. You know, it’s not hard to be a female and be nice to other females. Even just being civil or GOD FORBID complimenting another female. We shouldn’t be fighting each other. We should be fighting the gender inequality.

  • Karen

    Ummm…Why would I want to do anything on this list? I think it is time for me to stop reading this blog, I’m really disappointed in the the quality of articles that have been posted recently. This blog used to be different from all the other rag papers, but now I every other article mentions a Kardashian.

  • Lele19106

    This is the stupidest post ever. Why are we encouraging black women to take on the outdated prejudices and anxieties of our grandmothers? If you want to screw a guy on the first date, do it. If he bounces, he’s probably not the one for you anyway. And if he can’t see you as an individual, why would you want to spend time with someone so small-minded. Second, not all black women have big butts nor do she want them. Just because you can’t squeeze you’re big behind into low-rise skinny jeans doesn’t mean all black women can’t.

    • Tina Brown

      You should never ”screw” on the first date. You are selling yourself at basement level price. If he’s trying to get in your pants that soon then you know he’s a user and schemer. Even the female rhinosaurus makes a suitor chase her beyond exhaustion, non-stop running for weeks – sun up to sun down. She’s testing to see who is the fittest and most deserving of males to perpetuate his genes with her. No half asses make the cut. BW need to have higher standards than that, I mean we are humans and it’s a shame that females of the lesser animals have more rigid requirements. SMH

    What about wearing weave. People often stereotype black women as wearing weave. I have seen all different races of women wearing extensions.

  • Bianca

    I never wait 3 months to have sex. That’s too long. Maybe a week is enough. I wear skinny low rise jeans all the time. I look better than a white woman in them. I do agree with number five though. Some of this other stuff is a bit ridiculous.

    Lashwan – that was awesome!! You forgot being ecclctic like Lady Gaga – When Lady does it, its’ considered art, when Nicki does it, it’s considered weird and outlandish…

  • justme

    personally i think this list is a bunch of crap…im just saying…I am both black and white and i think the list is inaccurate as both black and white women get away with it everyday…

  • JustSaying

    I suffer from the Straight-Face. Since I don’t walk around with a smile on my face all day people assume that I’m a Beyotch, I’m intimidating, I’m not friendly, etc. Guys are even scared to approach me. Lol. When people tell me this, I automatically think, “WOW! A girl has to have a smile on her face to walk to class or to dinner.”

    This list and the majority of comments are incredibly disturbing…

  • Grace

    Unfortunately, there is a lot of validity to this list.  Although I must admit, it makes me cringe when I hear “us” speaking loudly on the phone at the most inappropriate of times re: what should be a private matter.  
    Regarding the getting “knocked up” part, while I believe people should marry prior to conceiving, you can’t impart your morals on those who can financially support their children.  If you are having kids out of wedlock who you can’t support financially, emotionally, etc, then prepare for the criticism/judgement that accompanies such poor decision making. #yeahisaidit.
