30 mins later...

friend: aww look, a black woman and a white man. now see, i dont have a problem with that. you GO girl!!!

me:

now i dont care if u dont like interracial relationships, but this whole "only when its a black woman/white man is it okay but not the other way around" exception is kinder dumb!

You're way too gracious. Her statements were ignorant as hell.

[humbleme]

oh...and people who get all riled up about being called "fat" and "big" but are so quick to throw the "girl, eww u so skinny. u needa eat something"

[christiangirl]

Humble: I noticed that, too. My cousin has a HUGE problem with black men/white women, but is open to marrying a white man. I don't get it either, but I have my theories. That would make a great thread if there's not one already.

Guilty as charged. I've had it thrown in my face too many times by white women about the fact they got one of mine to feel any differently. Not to mention the black men who act like I am not in the room while parading around with a white woman on his arm. On the other hand a white man has never thrown it up in my face that he got one of us. In fact what they have shown is that Black women are beautiful.

Not to mention how a lot of black men have lowered their physical standards to obtain a nonblack woman (i.e. the ignorant phrase "she's pretty for a white woman"), chased after nonblack women because they thought they had "better personalities," and/or have been quick to abandon black women for nonblack women who have traits that have been celebrated in black women for generations (i.e. black men marveling over nonblack women with round butts, even if the butts are silicone).

At the same time, white men in general have a history of oversexualizing black women and acting like black women are their tour guides through the lustful jungles of Africa or a nonstop Soul Train. But that goes for how a lot of white people act when they befriend black people.

Her friend's comments were still ignorant to me. LOL

I would've given her a "talking to," though. She needs to be set straight as to not get her ass handed to her by someone else in the future.

Believe you me, I did go off on her but in a way that she needed a dictionary to understand the words coming out of my mouth. Needless to say, I don't meet with her anymore and she avoids me at all costs.

I took a Black psychology (yes there is such a thing) course one summer and I loved it. The class was very diverse and it made for interesting, sometimes heated conversation. So......once we were talking about stereotypes and a white student made the statement, " my granddaddy told me the reason Black people are so good in sports is because they have an extra muscle in their leg." I'm like oh snap our secret is out!!! A part of me felt that she still believes this is true. idiot.

LMAO!!! I'm sitting here dying!! On a serious note I'd love to take a Black Psychology class.

There are so many ignorant statements I could think of right now, but they all come from rap songs.

My best friend text messaged me right before Thanksgiving break and said that her teacher was reading his lecture notes off of a napkin. WOW.

U shoulda told her "no hun, it's cuz we are way more primitive than our Caucasoid brethren and it just so happens to show best when we leave you eating our dust on the field"

Background Info: Non-tradional student in her 50's. Always kissing up to the professor and trying to answer questions...one of those who will make class stay longer for a professor to answer questions and for her to make comments when everyone is ready to go.

While in Sociology on the topic of Race and Ethnicity after the professer called out other random things for us to answer about black history and she wasn't able to answer one...

Professor: There was also a lady that was significant, who didn't want to give up her seat on a bus

Ms. Know it all: Oo...oo.. I know Harriet Tubman

The class laughed so hard, that he had to dismiss us. I wouldn't have laughed so hard if it was from anyone else, but she just knew that she was right.

I felt bad afterwards, because she looked like this .
