One woman is calling out all the black men who choose not to date black women thanks to negative stereotypes and stigmas. One of the men, 28-year-old Bo, said he doesn’t date black women because of their “strong personalities,” their inability to “stay in a woman’s place” and then he added: “Why are black women so angry?”Well, clearly, it appears that Bo just doesn’t like women, period. But it’s the angry black women trope or the “strong, sassy black woman” narrative which is so problematic because of its prevalence in mainstream media. “Traits that in anyone else would be seen as positive, get turned into negatives when they exist in black women,” Foster said. And yes, some of these same black men who have hurt feelings towards black women likely have black mothers.
