From NeNe Leakes to Star Jones, it's an unsettling new formula for reality TV, says Allison Samuels. "Put two or more headstrong African-American women in the same room, and let the fireworks begin…. The small screen is awash with black females who roll their eyes, bob their heads, snap their fingers, talk trash, and otherwise reinforce the ugly stereotype of the “angry black woman."

That's true and it's bad enough i see angry black women on the street. I'm really disappointed in black women's ignorant behavior because i love them and i think they're better than white women. I know that all black women aren't angry but it seems most of them are angry. I understand why most of them are angry and it's because of bad black men that have treated them wrong but they shouldn't take their anger out on every black man they meet because all black men aren't the same. They're gonna miss out on some good black men if they continue to be angry. That's why 70% of them are single and raising kids by themselves.

Where do you get your stats from? The number is a LOT higher than 70%. Do more research.

I saw a black guy on Youtube make a video talking bad about black women and i agree with the stuff he said. He said 70% of black women are single. So that's why i said that. What's the percentage you think of black women being single? The black guy i watched said he thinks Michelle Obama should speak on this issue since she's married to the president. I don't think it's her job to speak about that because she has a good man and she doesn't seem like a angry woman. I get so tired of black women having a attitude. Stop being stuck up and stop being angry because every black man isn't the same.

I think that young (over 21) sexy black women are nature's erotic masterpiece. The ones that have the fantastic figures and adorable faces make any man want to try their luck with them. That is until they open their mouth. Then reality sets in. I don't know why so many black women are so mad at so many people over so many things. No one does. THEY don't even know why they are mad. My best guess is that since they are not as strong as men, they try to appear to be fearless with their WORDS. All of us have seen black women make threats that they couldn't possibly keep in public. That's the only explanation there could be for why they are so loud, hard and angry.

You're a good one to ask someone where they got their stats from when you have provided none to back-up your own statement. :rolleyes:

This is a very, very "hot button" subject that we are discussing here.
Let's try not to argue amongst ourselves as subjects of this nature normally make people do.

It's because the media thinks that's what viewers want to see and for the most part, they're right. I don't think Real Housewives of Atlanta would be as popular as it is if they didn't have women on there giving into the stereotype. Yet at the same time, black women who don't show aggressive behaviors are usually seen as meek and submissive. (I'm half-black and do not play into the angry stereotype because that's just not me).
Frankly, I get tiresome seeing it, especially if the anger is coming from something petty and not actual issues that affect us on a daily basis. If you're freaking out and throwing tantrums because your man won't marry you, like I see on RHOA, then stop the bullcrap, get rid of him, stop getting in everyone else's face, and find someone else.
