Why do you think black females and males are stereotyped as always being somebody's baby's mama/daddy and having babies? Most importantly what should be done about this? Not only are blacks stereotyped by other races, but especially their own, for example, Im a 23 year old black female, no kids, pay my own bills, and working on my pharmacy degree. I find that I am constantly asked by my other black co-workers or the black community "Do you have kids?" and when I say "no", they look at me in disbelief and then try to get offended!
I know this happens to alot of blacks, not just me. I just wanted to ask this question to see if anybody feels my concern on this issue. Contrary to popular belifs, there are many young black adults trying to handle thier business with as few interruptions as possible and I feel this hardly ever goes noticed.

Im thinking of moving out of my parents house in sept. Things @ home aren't so good and i've been thru a lot bc of my father & his family. I know that if i move out its going to be final and my father has told me he will not take me back on any circumstances. Which is kinda tough if you think about it, bc anything can happen. I am a very responsible 23 yrs old, I have a job, I still go to college. The rent is going to be $452 a month, and i only make $10 an hr. Im so scared but @ the same time I do have to take a stand and take my life into my own hands. Ive never lived away from home, i dont know what im up for. I wont have caror cell phone, but public transprtation is closely available. My mom said she would help me out once in a while. I have some $$ saved up, but its just this huge fear in me like im gonna mess up & then my father wins bc he wont let me back in his house and tell me how stupid i was. Should i take the step & move out or stay and be unhappy?

It seems like everyone blames George Bush for anything that goes wrong. I'll admit, I don't like the guy and I think we could have a better person in office but he's not the blame for everything. He's blamed for the hurricane katrina rescuers not showing up in a timely manner, he's blamed for the war, gas prices, interest rates, high taxes, oil profits, he's blamed for bringing the towers down in NY. I'm tired of people blaming one another. Even in divorces, spouses blame each other and see no fault in themselves. Grow up people!!!! Only children blame each other. Blame yourselves for high gas prices. You drive those huge navigators and expeditions to the corner store when you can just walk there or ride a bike.

than i he is very mautry for his age. I have no other prospects for any other men. I'm 38 and i'm horny as hell and the masterbation gets old. And the guy at work wants me to take breaks with him and that's fine but on our 1 hour lunch break i like to do hobbies that i bring to work. He gets all sad i don't know what to do, he acts like he likes me, but when i asked him could we hang out a little sometime outside of work and he said not at this time and ask where we still cool, and said yes. Don't get me wrong when a women is 38 years old and haven't had sex in 12 years, horny. Being around a man that turns her on is not safe there are all kinds of unclean thoughts going on in my head. I'm tring not to tell him that i have been celibate for 12 years and not hurt his feelings. That is one of the reasons why i don't want to go to lunch for an hour with him i need that break from him. The two 15 minute breaks are enough. Can anyone tell me what can i do about this situation.

I am going out with some co-workers after work. Eventually I would like to find someone to date but guys around here don't take much interest in me. Majority of the time they just stare and don't say anything. It is just frustrating sometimes. I can make a first move but if I don't see any interest in the first place then it is hard for me to do.

My best friend and i talk about everything, the other day i was a bit shocked, she told me she has been thinking about what it would be like to kiss etc... a girl....and that she has been having dreams about her husbands best friend(male)

We are both married (to men) and have children.

Has anyone else ever been in this situation? Is she trying to tell me she's not happy with her marriage????

Im 36 years old and my boyfriend is 19. he doesnt have any other girlfriends, he didnt have sex for 2 years before he met me. its a purely sexual relationship that we have. He is soooo Hot and cute. but he is really shy . that must be why he doesnt meet very many girls. But I have always been shy too, but im comfortable with my sexuality, and he noticed that and now we have a wonderful friendship. but he told me that he loves me. and I have hope for him that he will meet someone his own age and he will get married and all that good stuff. Im scared that I will fall in love with him too, and then with the age difference, i will be setting myself up for failure on my part. how can I break it off with out ending our friendship. I need him as a friend in my life. I dont want to hurt him though.

because people say it is when you aren't looking,but busy with your own life that you get married.was this true for you?

You might not agree with this, but I have been so hurt and manipulated by every man that has been in my life, and I've just met someone new who seems rather promising.

Rather than say "I'd like him to be like / do this" (in my mind, not asking him!), my friend suggested I make a list of ten hotspots that if he does, even once, then get rid, because they are a sign of me ending up in another abusive relationship. Thing is, I can't think of many, I've started the list, could you help me finish it with things that you perceive of warning signs of a bad egg? The things I've listed I've experienced, so these are definitely staying.

1) Behaving aggressively towards me
2) Humiliating me in public
3) Telling me what to do (telling, not advising)
4) Being rude to other people (think this is a sign that he is just putting a mask on to you... that will eventually slip)
5) Making me feel inadequate.

Any more for any more? It'll be really appreciated, I need 5 more. Thanks! xx

I have been in a relationship for about 1 year; we are engaged to be married next year. The problem is that my soon-to-be mother-in-law and the ex-girlfriend keep trying to interfere. Now the two of them are having lunch together, talking about me, and telling my fiance that the way I treat her is bordering on "domestic violence"! (Which is completely ridiculous.) Aside from tension and arguments over the two of them, my fiance and I get along fabulously. I don't know what to do. Should I confront them or should I just let it go?

i have been in this relationship for 25 yrs,From the begining there was drama with his family and religion.We past that .Then ther was the drama of his physical abuse,we past that to,but then came the mental abuse which i can honestly say i would swap the physical back .I swear my husband has had numerous encounters with other women but ofcourse he will never admit to anything.This was the when i dug myself a bigger hole to fall into i was looking for a friend after my father commited suicide i couldnt focus on anything in life and got so depressed everything in my life was dark at that time.Not that thats an excuse for my actions those i take full responcibilty for .Well to cut it short i fell for the first idiot who came along to give me a shoulder to cry on , it was one of those so called internet affair,i was so consumed with guilt i told my husband.But 6 yrs later he still wont let go.i am at the point now i would rather die than live like this ,i know i should leave but i cant.

At the end of the ceremony, does our officiant have to introduce us to the crowd?" (ie "Ladies and gentlemen it's my pleasure to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Smith") I am hyphenating my name, and since we won't have the same last name I think this would sound weird. Any thoughts?
