much respect to your opinion, but i gotta disagree with that. out of all the stereotypes from other races and the expectations placed upon the black man by not only other races, but our own black women, we have yet to scratch the surface of surpassing those, and thats a hell of a challenge. as black men, we ARE the most imitated of all genders/races. everyone wants to be like us but no one wants to be us... and then they go and imitate us in the WORST possible way - further perpetuating the image that we are good for nothing but trouble, a cheap laugh, and manual labor. there are some of us that are trying to excel in life, but there are others that make it even harder for us to shake that stigma, so we have to work EVEN harder, often busting our **** to be told it wasnt good enough. im an educated, clean cut brotha myself, but i still see myself getting followed in stores and at times confronted by security for just minding my own business. not to say that black women dont have struggles, but unless youve been thru some traumatic stuff, i doubt very much you can liken the black woman's experience to that of the black male... all issues concerning female anatomy (pregnancy,periods, cramps,etc. )aside.
