lol. when i was wearing my hair super short in college, everyone was asking me whether i was bisexual (i had a boyfriend at the time).

just because you have body piercings (esp. tongue) doesn't mean you're a lesbian either. i don't know where people get this from.

just b/c you question the Bible, doesn't mean you're a satan worshipper

just b/c you have nice things, doesn't mean you're not down to earth or a snob

just b/c you're in xyz sorority, doesn't mean you can't wear colors from other sororities... please people.

soulfulremix 08-12-2003 10:50 PM

Not all people with natural hair are conscious.

Not all people with permed hear are unaware/not conscious.

The Black Panther Party was not a group that only spread hate and propaganda.

Not all African-American Studies majors are militants who hate white people.

Donny Hathaway is the MAN...contrary to popular belief. I wish he were still around.

Not all young African-Americans (teens and young adults) listen to current music only. I'm only 18 and I loooooooooove (did I say love) music from as early as the 50's like Donny Hathaway<3, Sam Cooke<3, Etta James, The Beatles, etc.

Just because you're agnostic doesn't not mean you do not believe in -something-.

Isn't that the whole point of being agnostic? Believing in SOMETHING but nothing definite?

Not all women have the big "O" every time you think they do...

Not all women want to have multiples, sometimes we just want to sleep too.

Sigh...you got that right! I loved his duets with Roberta Flack and my absolute favorite holiday song is his "This Christmas"

5. Not all Engineering majors are wild alcoholics who dye themselves purple (this might be a Canadian stereotype)

:p Though my cousin at Queen's claims that she hasn't dyed herself since homecoming in second year (she's in fourth)....

layla2728 01-17-2004 12:03 AM

This might've been mentioned already, but not all Middle Eastern people are terrorist or have terrorist ties.

Sorry, I'm just sick and tired of having all of my emails read by the government because of my last name... and yes, I know for a fact that they're reading. I occasionally say hi to them, just to liven it up ;)

Not all women use the words "fine" and "whatever" . . .

Well maybe they do actually lol ;)

queequek 01-17-2004 11:02 AM

Not all people who do study abroad are rich

Because one has a father as a doctor, doesn't mean s/he rich and spoiled. I have to work my arse off for college, and no, daddy won't send me money for "fun"

Not all Iowans are farmers, and yes, we have lots of corns (NOT potatoes, that's IDAHO) and no, we're not the Huskers

Not all farmers dress like one. And yes, farmers know what "Abercrombie and Fitch" is.

Not all Marines are wicked and killing oriented

Not all Minnesotans know how to play hockey. Or ski. Or snowboarding

There ARE dry roads in Venice. Do you expect to swim all the time?

Because one lives in Amsterdam, doesn't mean that s/he smokes weed everyday and has sex wherever, or running around naked

There ARE tall buildings in Asia. Don't ask me whether there are running water or cars in third world countries, because, surprisingly United States is not the only country. The third world countries are not THAT behind, even though there are some straw huts, but they also have mortars, concrete, steel, glass and so on

Not all landscape architects know how to plant flower, so don't ask us whether we could do your backyard

Not all food science major know how to cook, and the program doesn't teach them how to cook delicious food. That's called culinary class

Not all design majors are geek, and yes we have life outside our studio

Not all fraternity guys like being called frat boy, or "frat" for shortening "fraternity"

Not all sorority girls are slut

Oh man come visit my chapter.

Not all Italians are in the mafia.

ETA: Not all Detroiters are murderers or black/Hispanic/Arab.

Not all Michiganders like snow, or not all hate it.

Not all rich girls have a great life.

Not all Italian families are rich because of the mafia.

Not all Italians/ethnic people are rich because they worked hard for it.

Not all children are spoiled because they're parents have money. Some are spoiled because they're parents want them to have what they didn't.

justamom 01-17-2004 11:58 AM

Not all parents are idiots.

Not all parent/child relationships are difficult.

Not all women over 40 are archaic, old, battle-axes.

Not all men over 45 lose it. Not all men over 60 lose it.

Not all Southerners eat road kill with sauce piquant.

Not all men prefer skinny girls.

Not all women prefer body builders.

Not all Doctors are in it for the money.

James 01-17-2004 01:11 PM

No, I do not have a zebra in my backyard. Yes, people have asked me that question when I tell them that I'm living in South Africa.

And yes, there is such a thing as indoor plumbing down here.

Not everyone who's Muslim and happens to be African is a member of the NOI

Using proper English isn't a "White" thing.

Using slang isn't a 'Black" thing.

Being a minority in a majority institution doesn't mean you got there because of Affirmative Action. :rolleyes:

African-American Leader and Leading African-American are two COMPLETELY different things.

chideltjen 04-05-2004 01:31 AM

not all graphic designers can draw. :D

not all people that enjoy trance music are crazy raver candy kids.

Cedar 04-05-2004 12:04 PM

Not all bestselling authors can actually write.

Not all librarians wear buns, cardigans, orthopedic shoes, and glasses.

SiempreCansada 06-06-2004 03:22 AM

Choosing to wear JNCO's & comfortable clothing doesn't make you a skater girl/boy under the age of 18 or 21.

Choosing to loc/dread one's hair doesn't classify them as the next Nikki Giovanni/Maya Angelou/India Arie/Lauryn Hill/Angie Stone/Jill Scott and the style of dreadlocs isn't limited only to African Americans.

If someone talks "proper" (wtf is PROPER?) it doesn't mean that they're trying to be something that they're not.

Just because someone has his/her lip, tongue, belly button, etc. pierced doesn't not make them a freak nor does it give you the right to stare at them...just because their tongue is pierced doesn't mean that they got it pierced for sexual pleasure.

Every chick that is a size 0 doesn't have an eating disorder...on the same note...being a size 0 doesn't make it any easier to find clothing that's CUTE & COMFORTABLE.

Just because I speak Spanish & Japanese doesn't mean that I'm Latina/Asian.

Just because my complexion is slightly different than both of my parents doesn't make me ADOPTED....it's just GENETICS & ANCESTRY!!! People come in all shades, shapes, colors, and sizes...scary thought...IMAGINE THAT!

As a former cheerleader I can say that all cheerleaders are not white, blonde, promiscuous, ditzy, snobby, & clique-ish.

All short people don't have a complex w/ something to prove to the world nor do they all have a constant attitude.

Just because I'm from KANSAS CITY doesn't mean that I'm from KANSAS...there is a Kansas City, MISSOURI...home of the CHIEFS, ROYALS, BLADES, WIZARDS, GATES BBQ, & yes...the Country Club Plaza.

Just because I live in MISSOURI doesn't mean that I know Nelly, Murphy Lee, Chingy, and J-Kwon (sp?)...ST. LOUIS...is not the only city in MO.

Being a FEMALE doesn't mean that I must watch the Oxygen Channel, Lifetime, and WE! faithfully.....I happen to loooooooooove ESPN...gotta have my SportsCenter, Cold Pizza, and Around the Horn.

Just because I am a FEMALE doesn't mean that I'm addicted to Oprah and shopping.....I'm addicted to NCAA Football, Women's and Men's NCAA Basketball (GO MIZZOU TIGERS!!!! GO BIG 12!!!), Six Feet Under, and The Sopranos.

Just because someone dates outside their race(s) doesn't mean they're a sellout....*a sexy man/woman is a sexy man/woman*....who gives a shit about race!

Just because I support gay marriage doesn't make me bi-curious, a closet lesbian, or anti-religious/spiritual...it's all about human rights in my eyes!

The word N-word is not a synonym for African American, Black, Hispanic, or Latino/a...it is a synonym for IGNORANCE regardless of race, creed, color, heritage, ethnicity, or nationality.

...and NOT everyone stress theirrrrrrrr r's, like they do! :mad: That is tacky tacky!

Just because you are a light/non-drinker it doesn't mean you're a prudish nerd who likes to sit home on Friday nights playing chess or doing bible study! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Not everyone from the midwest are hicks!

Not all females are dying to be in a relationship!

Not all virgins are butt-ugly. :eek:

Dionysus 06-06-2004 10:12 AM

ok, something strange happened on that last post, i couldn't scroll down pass my last sentence. :confused:

Not all guys who wear two earrings are gay (i'm trying to convice someone that right now)

Not all people who are honest and speak their mind are insensitive, ignorant, or bitchy/assholish.

Not all anxious people are possessed by the devil or have something to hide! :eek: :mad: :eek:

Not all females who have tattoos on their lower back are fans of anal sex!

Not all teachers teach because they get summer off! :rolleyes:

Just because you're 22+ it doesn't mean you want to get married, have a serious job, and stop partying and having fun. You're only young once...take advantage when you graduate from college, do what you want for a little while.

Not all republicans are racist or uncompassionate.

Not all democrats are lazy or bleeding-hearts.

Kevin 06-06-2004 11:58 AM

Oklahoma City is not a giant trailer park.

Living in Oklahoma doesn't mean that you ride a horse to work (some people apparently still think we're like a real-life western down here).

Living in Oklahoma doesn't mean you're a fan of country music.

We're not all Republicans down here (in fact, the Dems have controlled the state legislature for 80 years).

Lawyers are for the most part not parasites.

If I think of more, I'll be back.

GRITS 06-06-2004 04:11 PM

Not All people who are practicing abstinence look down on people who have sex!

Not all women who go to women's colleges are lesbians, have low self esteem, or feminists!

Not all people who are book smart have common sense!

Not all black people hate country music!

RedefinedDiva 06-06-2004 04:30 PM

Not all people who have low GPAs are dumb.

Just because an African-American wo/man chooses to wear their hair natural or in locs doesn't mean that they are trying to make political statements or or are a crusade to go back to Africa. It's just hair.

There is more to do in New Orleans besides attend Mardi Gras parades and party on Bourbon Street.

Not all people in New Orleans speak Cajun like they do in movies. And since I am on that subject, there is not a jazz club on every corner and we do not have Second Lines everyday.

Just because a person does not have kids of their own does not mean that they can not comment on certain subjects. If I have an opinion or view today, please DO NOT tell me that I will feel differently once I have kids of my own! :mad:
