Why does everyone hate on black women?

[Anonymous]

Seriously there are different types of black women, with different nationalities... Every time someone thinks they know where I'm from they assume I'm African American... When in reality I'm a half white half Nigerian new zealander... IM KIWI. My father is one and I'm one... Nobody in my family is African American, then my mothers great grandparents are actually Asian Indian. So let me get to the point... Why does everyone few all black people the same as African Americans , what the hell. I'm not saying African Americans are bad but what the hell even African Americans don't wanna be African or whatever. I don't really look like an average black person anyways I look more Hispanic but why do people always talk down black women like we are branches or hyenas. I dont even know why I am considering myself black when I should consider myself biracial because of where I'm from but of course I have migrated to the us so that has to be changed. Please someone explain to me why a lot of people view blacks as ghetto like an African American when an average African is not ghetto at all.

I view all blacks as African amer and I don't hate them.

I don't view them the same

You don't look like "the average black person"? What does the "average black person" look like? Blacks look like any and everything. They have all types of hair, hair colors, eyes, eye colors, definitely every possible skin color including pale (similar to Asians). What does the "average black person" look like? What does "the average Asian person" look like? Blacks and Asians vary way to much to have an "average" look. Whatever you tried to come up with would be very stereotypical. Also, not all people hate on black women. Many do but much of that is ignorance and drinking the stereotypical Kool aid just like you're doing. "African Americans don't even want to be African"? Think about that. The decendants of slaves in America that had their ethic culture and roots stripped from them... ties to their homeland broken forever - would love to be truly African and know their heritages and homelands. They never will. Stripped of that forever. You know your bloodline? Good. They would like to know theirs. Past the slave trading post. They can't sounds like you generally stereo type blacks in the USA like the test of the world. By what controlled mainstream media tells you. Let me know what an "average black person" looks like. And an "average Asian person" looks like while your at it. And I'll show you done controlled mainstream media imagery brainwashing tactics. I've lived in different parts of Asian. And in America. Ignorance is not necessarily a bad thing. It can be cured. Stupidity on the other hand is a hopeless condition.

I agree

[longjohndan]

I don't hate on black women.

I don't care that you came from New Zealand, or India, or West Indies or Egypt or Nigeria anymore than you care if I came from Norway or Wales or Poland or Germany.

If you were my friend I would take an interest in any background you might wish to share with me, but other than that wgas?

Wow... Okay then, way to throw African Americans under the bus. Sorry, that you get mistaken for us. Humans don't have innate ability to sense that your blackness is different from other blackness. In case you haven't noticed, it's that way for every race.

[kingme]

I don't think she is against you guys in any way. Here in New Zealand African Americans and their descendents are way less common than Africans and their descendents but our ideas of blackness come from racist American media. I think she'd prefer that people wouldn't assume either way and that people would rid themselves of holding these disgusting stereotypes in the first place. Especially in a nation with limited experience of any African peoples or peoples of African decent.

[Asker]

Really you had to say "under the bus" lol

[Asker]

Now that's terrible

[Gojira]

@kingme - are there aborigines or any native people there in New Zealand that were there before euros came?

[Asker]

@gojira yeah polynesians

[Asker]

@Gojira

[kingme]

@Gojira The Maori, the Tangata Whenua (people of the land) are the indigenous and rightfully sovereign peoples of New Zealand which they named Aotearoa.

[Gojira]

@Asker - Ah yes. More people of color. I didn't realize New Zealand was part of that island group. Thanks.

[Asker]

Actually no technically its the polynesians

[MissBex95]

because unfortunately there's a lot of ignorant and uneducated people in the world, who pay to much attention to the stereotypes that the media perpetuates about people of colour, and black women and men specifically.

[SakuraChii]

Not everyone thinks that way and not all African Americans dislike Africans.

[kingme]

Let's face it new Zealand is a closeted super racist country and American media stereotypes bare a lot of weight here. I mean even Maori women are associated with the American black stereotype and looked down on as pretty well the bottom tier of our society. The media does a pretty good job of eraseing African identities as well. Sorry about all our racism, hopefully you like the trees and shit.

[Asker]

Lol I'm born there so of course I like my trees, plants, water, and grass. That's pretty much all to like.

[kingme]

Yea same. I'm gonna ditch this backwards nation in a few years and return as a tourist for the natural wonders periodically. Unless the diary industry is destroyed social progress will be lacking here from now on.

[Gojira]

@kingme - someone is awake. 👍

[Asker]

What's worse is that my white father keeps telling me I'm not black but mixed. I tell him I'm considered black and he's like no your mixed.

[kingme]

@Gojira I'm white though so being awear and paying attention to the struggle of my brothers and sisters of colour isn't even verging on bare human decency. We all gotta do more.

[Gojira]

@kingme I knew you were white. I think being awake and award of the effects of the brainwashing machine is a lot considering the numbers of us who are equally affected and in denial of it. It's refreshing to me to know there are more of us out here who see it for what it is and don't deny or pretend it's not there. Many, too many aren't even pretending. They really don't know.

[kingme]

It's hard being a teenager with vaguely unaccepting parents, they're not doing anything wrong enough for you to react strongly without looking like the bad guy but they do undermine our identities and sense of self. The good news is as an adult you have way more power in setting boundaries and it's way easier.

[kingme]

@Gojira getting whites woke is definitely an important part of what we can do as allies as well as constructing a culture for whites free of the colonial attitudes and imperialism that caused this shit in the first place.

It isn't "black women" that people hate on... It's American Black women. The aggressive, in your face, manly, LaQuesha'esque type of black woman.

What are you talking about I love Beyonce?

[Anonymous]

As an African I've noticed that black American women hate everyone that isn't them.

[Jania14]

I think black women hate on everyone else more than they hate on black women.

[sherbearee]

[jjmarvin]

I guess it's just the overwhelming hate deep in my soul 😴😴😴
