Is that why I see so many rotund Irish girls with black lads?

Are you not kinda stereotyping both black lads and rotund Irish girls, by suggesting that both might be possibly mutually attracted to each other?

Ever hear of the phrase

'Once you go black, you never go back'?

Not true.

I hobbled back.

Naah, you just went to the dark side,

You just tripped over a storm-tropper, you'll be fine in the morning.

Oh dear. By black people do you mean black Americans or black people everywhere?
I'm black american and I like fried chicken. I don't eat much of it cause it's caloric and it's fried.
My name isn't laqueisha or shanaqua and the same applies to my friends.
My father is very involved in my life and he still takes care of me.
I'm not loud. I'm meek,
No one in my family has ever been in trouble with the law but I have quite a few family members who work in the criminal justice system as cops, lawyers and a judge
This may sound racist

What's so hate-mongering about .....

Eh? Where did the poster whom you quoted, mention anything about 'hate mongering' in their post? Or is inventing what you see just a little thing of yours?

Strangely I have never heard of the first three. I was aware they are disproportionally represented in crime statistics - especially in the states - but the other three I have never heard of.

Only other one I have ever heard is the oft perpetuated claim that they have - on average - bigger penises than white folk. Other than that I can not think of any "black stereotypes" at all.

When I think of black people I always remember a line from a movie. And comically I do not even know what movie it was (being after hours it will not be long before someone tells me of course). But a white guy gets hurt and bruised - and his black partner (think it was a police movie) says "You white people turn such funny colors).

Cracks me up - and I have no idea why.

Hande hoche!

They didn't, but why would I have to be referring to their post? Some responded to the OP that all stereotypes listed cause hatred to be spread towards black people (saying they like fried chicken would do that? Really?) to which Krudler said the thing about faux outrage.

Jokey stereotypes like being big potato fans don't cause hate towards Irish people.

I don't think "interaction" with black transvestites really counts, no.

The blacks on Jerry Springer are loud all right.

What has that got to do with this thread or the OP's inability to recognise that there are a lot more black people around the world than just African Americans.

Apart from the first one, there's nothing derogatory about those statements. Nothing wrong with liking fried chicken, or being opinionated, or having names that are different to white European names. What has been happening in Ferguson shows that black people do have trouble with the police, but that's often the fault of the cops.

Nothing. I'm just curious. Im also surprised by the amount of discussions on here about black Americans. That's all
Op wasn't the only one in this thread who applied stereotypes of black Americans to black people globally

^ I don't think cops can be entirely blamed for police brutality in low income black neighborhoods. It's a multifaceted problem

Do you think it is the police fault when somebody shop lifts, resists arrest, rushes at the police officer and actually tries to take the gun off the police officer?

I am well aware that there are more than afro americans but these stereotypes are exclusive to them. I never implied otherwise, you did

Black americans are the only blacks op?

I NEVA SED DAT......people obviously drew their own conclusions but I thought you would all understand I meant afro americans exclusively without having to state it, from your own experience of seeing the stereotypes in various forms of media.

point is, are these humorous or racist? what side of the fence are you on? we often see these kindve things played out in social media in the form of memes and vines and to be honest I would find them harmless and quite funny, so long as they don't promote hatred or intolerance.

Ugh oh. I'm black?!

? So you were talking about stereotypes of black Americans. You never specified that in your op. It seemed like you were talking about black people from all over. Or maybe I just assumed that because this is boards ie.

The Simpsons have been getting away with racial jokes for years.Scots,Blacks,Irish,Hill Billy's,Cops,single mom's have all been stereotyped.
I mean some people think there is no such thing as a sober Irishman.

Capt'n Midnight

There are black stereotype but in most cases they are just a poverty stereotype. Most of the traits are pretty similar to common or garden white trash or even scumbags.

Lets not forget that segregation and apartheid are still very much in living memory so access to things like education doesn't go that many generations back which can flavour some attitudes.


Colour doesn't matter. The great unwashed will always be uncouth.

You must lead a sheltered life if you got all that from The Simpsons.
