Culture to Die For: "Top Black Stereotypes (Texas EDITION)"



So I was thinking about stereotypes that I hateee that are related to being a black person. Being that I'm a brown skinned chic, I've heard ALL the original ones about chicken and watermelon. But since I live in Texas, I've heard MORE since every area has their own sub-categorized stereotypes. These are the most stupid and ignorant things I could come up with.


And the list begins...
  1. All black people love watermelon
  2. All black people eat chicken (especially KFC, it’s finger lickin’ good!)
  3. All black people speak in Ebonics
  4. All black men have at least 1 kid, or 1 on the way
  5. All black baby mamas are gold diggin’, loud, & have the baby’s daddy on child support just to buy herself some clothes, while her baby suffers
  6. All black people have watched the following movies: Malcolm X, The Color Purple, Baby Boy, Friday
  7. All black people have at least one friend/relative or knows somebody nicknamed, “Pooh”, “Pookie”
  8. All black people drink (or drank) koo-laid
  9. All black people use grease
  10. All black people did/do one of the following: run track, play basketball, play football
  11. All black men want to be rappers
  12. All black people made it to college off of a sports scholarship
  13. All black girls wore barrettes growing up
  14. All black women wear weave (because black women can’t grow long hair)
  15. All black people have eaten the following: neck bones, collared greens, hammocks, gizzards
  16. All black people grew up in the hood
  17. All black people hate the police because they know at least 1 person in jail
  18. All black (stud) lesbians work at: Walmart, some retail joint, or UPS
  19. All black men are thugs or gang bangers
  20. All black people can’t swim
  21. All black people hate the sun
  22. All black men want Pit Bulls or Rottweilers
  23. All black women are gold diggers
  24. All black people can dance
  25. All black people love rap & hip hop
  26. All black women with long hair MUST be wearing weave
  27. All black people with curly hair MUST be bi-racial (mom & pops mixed)

What kind of idiotic stereotypes have you heard of because of your race? Are stereotypes different in your state? Fill me in!
