You say, "Europeans views of African Americans for the most part is much more positive then in the U.S. We are seen as beautiful, creative and talented people." That's very interesting. But not quite a surprise since race is different there.Jenee Dardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274216901288021997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457712359004161559.post-57248912616231313122009-07-30T20:15:03.097-07:002009-07-30T20:15:03.097-07:00Great blog!!

We have a black president but that doesn't mean we don't still have racial issues in this country. I am so sick of white corporate America continuosly hammering stereotypes and taking advantage of our communities. Whites are so good at turning the black community against one another. It's a constant cycle that we blacks must realize and stop. Blacks must start takeing responsibility for the actions of our community. I have so much more to say about this. This "stupid" comment just touches on so many issues of the black community. I have struggled with so much cultural shame growing up in a affluent white community. As an adult I struggle to accept my black community. Not necessarily because of whites but because of the many ideas whites have of blacks that are true. We need to get our priorities straight. Tyler Perry you also need to stop glorifying these disgusting stereotypes about blacks. This doesn't help our image even if you are "giving back to the community" its hypocritical. I recently returned from Europe with my husband who is European. Europeans views of African Americans for the most part is much more positive then in the U.S. We are seen as beautiful, creative and talented people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
