I have never got the whole stereotype that blacks are lazy, by far I think we are one of the most hardworking people. My grandmother came here in 1940 when she was 4 yrs old. from somolia, she worked hard to put all 7 of her kids through school. My mother in return worked her butt off for me and my brother.
I have heard similar stories like mine from all of my black friends, their mothers worked hard to raise them and put them through school. Yet people tend to label black americans as lazy people who leach off of the government, never mind that the highest rates of welfare belong to whites, nationwide.
Okay, so my question is
If you think blacks are lazy, why?
If not, why not?
and if you are black, please descibe why you think this isn't so, and how hard your family has worked for your well being.
*please, no bashing, I'm just asking everyone's opinion*
