Today I got to hang out with one of my guy friends ( I guess it was sort of a date). He is really nice and I think we compliment each other well because we are completely different then what we are used to dating. As we continued to converse we got into the topic of black women and attitudes. He mentioned that I was different then most black women he has dated and that most of the other women always had drama and an attitude. Unfortunately that is not the first time I have heard about black women and attitudes and frankly that opinion gets old. Black men are constantly saying that they don't deal with "sistas" because we always have an attitude, but I beg to differ. Black men do not want to put up with "sistas" because they are not going to let you treat them any kind of way. I am not saying that black women don't have attitudes but lets not just limit attitudes with a race. Women of all races have attitudes and whether you see it on the first date or the next couple of dates believe me you will see it. In saying this I do not want to be that black woman that goes around saying that good black men do not exist because that is simply untrue. It is just unfortunate that the people we come across ruin it for those who are quite opposite. Please let us stop stereotyping each other as a race and get to know the person before we automatically assume they have an attitude.
P.S. The hangout was fun overall but the topic of black women always having an attitude just gets old.
Word!
