Stereotypes About Black Men That AIN’T Always True
|
Posted By: on June 30, 2011 by Black Love And Marriage.com on June 30, 2011 In Black Men By Team BLAM Considering the historical and current cultural climate in America, it’s hard to be an African American and totally avoid internalizing and/or projecting stereotypes about black men that in many ways further perpetuate discord in black relationships. Yes…in some way or another we are ALL guilty of making the black man look like “the big bad wolf”. Our words and actions aren’t always consistent with elevating black men because we’re infused with the cultural DNA of this country which for centuries has been about keeping the black man down. This is the point of the post where many of you will say, “What about Barack”? Well guess what… I too say “What about Barack?” and I say it for the great number of brotha’s that are out here saying “What about me?” With that being said we’re challenging you to be more mindful about the role you play in perpetuating negative stereotypes about black men. Sure brotha’s need to be held accountable…sure brotha’s need to hear the truth. But be aware, the truth you tell and the way you tell it may be greatly influenced by stereotypes about black men that ain’t always true. Check out the below stereotypes and let us know what you think. Let us know HOW some of these stereotypes are straight up lies. 1. Black Men Are Lazy And Don’t Like To Work 2. Black Men Are Dogs 3. Black Men Are Well Endowed 4. Black Men Are Bad Providers 5. Black Men Only Want Sex 6. Black Men Are Not Good Fathers 7. Black Men Want A White Woman 8. Black Men Are Dumb 9. Black Men Go To Jail 10. Black Men Are Great Athletes 11. Black Men Are Fashionable 12. Black Men Dance Well 13. Black Men Are Criminals BLAM Fam….what stereotypes about black men are you guilty of perpetuating?
