MissAmericanPie : Read my comments to see what I said and not trying to say. I'm not regurgitating this. I don't do overly broad generalizations. That's the problem with society now.
J2911 : When it all becomes too much for you, here's a little nugget…we're ALL the same lol. Think about that. Do you really believe only certain people generalize? No, we all do, including you, unless you're Alien and not humanoid. This idea that generalizations are all evil is ridiculous. It's nothing more than a familiarity. If a white girl wants a weave that mostly just black women use, so what… you can't say that it's mostly black women who have them? You can't say it's cultural??

Generalizations EXIST and they can exist harmlessly as a matter of observation.
MissAmericanPie : So, if a white woman wants a weave that "mostly just black women use", that means she's "acting black"? ( which is what the original convo was about...someone acting black or white). This other stuff you are talking about is irrelevant to what my original question was.....how does someone act black or act white?
J2911 : Why do you feel like "acting black" is negative?? I believe that it's purely a matter of word chosen atm. . If she said mimicking black cultural trends, would that make you feel better? What's the difference?The fact that you think it's even negative, I don't get it.

MissAmericanPie : And if you don't get it, you probably never will. I'm not trying to make you get anything. I asked your friend a question as I have every right to. I could care less if you get it or not. My position still stands. The statement is problematic as your friend admitted to. When she got questioned about something he/she knew was controversial, she took issue. That's not my problem.
J2911 : You certainly seem to think you must change other's minds! You're so overly sensitive about black cultural behavior. Black people agree about their culture and behavior. They're proud of it, and it's made many rich.

justanirishgirl : Overly sensitive? Doubt that but you're entitled to your opinion. My bills are still going to get paid regardless of what you think or don't think about me. You continue to generalize a whole race of people. But whatever. Do as you wish. It's becoming predictable.
J2911 : I know all about educated black people, I have one in my family. My opinion is about the majority.

J2911 : I chose to use blind logic instead of seeing things through a predetermined mind set that everything has racist intent.

justanirishgirl : The majority of black people being what? This discussion has been locked.
