Stereotypes of Black Men That Aren’t Always True

October 4th, 2011 - By nativenotes

The funny thing about stereotypes is that there’s a little truth in every ‘I’m just kidding.’ Meaning, we laugh at stereotypes because at the root of them there’s normally a little more truth than we like to admit. For instance, the stereotype that black people love chicken makes us laugh because deep down we know chicken is one of the first things to disappear at the family BBQ. But then there are some stereotypes that are a little overused and while true for some, these stereotypes don’t represent the majority in any way.

Here are a few that I just can’t wrap my head around:

    No one should be stereotyped for their race. I never subscribed to any of those stereotypes. I was a 90′s kid & I grew up in a diverse area. I saw people of all types from all races(I’m Asian). Plus that guys in the 1st  2 pics are c u t e

       Yeah always do your research to cover your bases. So no DL plays you like that.

    I don't think men should be on the down low. Come on out with it. If men desire other men, be with them. It's deceptive to use women as beards. The same goes for women who want other women.

    The stereotype that all black dudes swing like elephants…

    But it's when I tell a black dude… "Uh…. put that away. I don't practice bestiality."

      No, but an Australian-Kenyan version of you would be pretty cool. The accent would be completely original!!! You'd be like a cool african crocodile hunter person!!

      …but whatever you do… don't be yourself!!!

      Whoever is disliking my statuses , and lets be real. I KNOW WHO. I've been reading and commenting on this blog for over a year. What I write is merely life experience, if you in any way feel disrespected or think trying to be excessively rude YOU SHOULDNT! The thing about stereotypes is that I've done so myself. I was raised understanding people are who they are, people do what they do, and act upon things as they will. I know my boundaries, I try to see as much good in people as possible.

    I think Black men do feel emasculated by a woman who makes more $$ than him… but hey that's his problem and it's a personal issues. I will never stop my sucess for a dude's feelings. I would never throw it up in his face either, but I would never hide my shine ever because there is no shame in earned success and wealth.

    • Big Mike

      Both of your posts are pure BS.

  • Sensible Sista

    I'm sorry but Black men still see white women as the epitome of success…. they will choose a fat sloppy white ho over a beautiful smart sista with all her ducks in a row… I've seen it happen and it's disgusting !!!! To those brothers that do this I say stay with those tricks , the race is better without you !
