Being a black woman, I don't think my attitude is any worse than any other female.

Most people do because they see the ones who stick out. Just like most people think gay men are limp-wristed and effeminate. I'm gay and not that way at all. I've renovated two houses, am 6'4" and have been with a very butch man for the past 12 years.
FYI, my best friend is a black woman and she is the nicest person I have ever met. I also work with 6 black women and of the entire staff, they are the nicest - well one is kind of a wench when she gets stressed - but they don't have an attitude at all.

Yes I do believe that a lot of "People" feel that Black American Women have attitudes, Now that is because some of them do not understand the way of life for a Black woman in America and then there are those who like to stereo type black woman period.
I am a Sister of Color, and the thing about it is that sometimes people do not understand that it's not an attitude, it's being strong and independent.
Sometimes we have to raise all of our children without a strong male around, and it's hard to be all laid back and so called understanding.
If we let people over run us then where do that get you?
If I were you I would not care how others perceive you, because they do not know you, I will stay attitude down as long as I do what is needed for me and my family, and to get where I need to be in Life....( =

Most people DO think black wmen have "attitudes."
Most black MEN I know think black women have an attitude! I'm not joking.
I'll make a deal with you. Get some of your girlfriends together on a three day weekend and I'll do my seminar on how to keep your soul alive in the rat race. You're telling me there are no significant attitudes and no one will erupt -- but-- a black graduate of the seminar has told me black women will NEVER go through the three days. I can travel with this seminar. Who's right? Either my graduate is wrong or you are. You can reach me thru 360 or urbancoyotesfounder@yahoo.com

I've known some with attitude and some without.
Same goes for woman of other groups - throw in men also. And don't forget kids for after all "attitude" is a childish act, has nothing to do with ethnicity.
I will say what some people call attitude is nothing to be proud of. It can be rather unpleasant.
Being self-confident & having attitude are two different things entirely. Some adults seem to confuse these.

Honestly I don't really know the answer to that, because I am not most people. But I can give an opinion. I don't think so. A woman is a woman and we are all sisters and we should think like that. We all bleed red when cut and cry when we are hurt. But there are cultural differences without a doubt and thats good, differences are what make life fun. She should be proud of her heritage and not use the past as an excuse for hostility and dropping out. I see too much of that. We all have to work hard to make it these days.

I can't speak for everyone but I can speak for myself. No, I don't think all black women have attitudes. I'm a caucasian woman and I don't think race has anything to do with whether someone has a good or bad attitude. I have a seriously crappy attitude some days and I hope no one judges me based on my race! I'm just a person like everyone else.

I don't look at a black woman and think that she must have an attitude. Since I am the queen of attitude, I actually assume that most people are nicer than I am.

I don't think all black women have attitudes. I work with a couple of black women who are as gregarious and fun-loving -- and attractive -- as any woman. I will say that some black women have nasty as heck attitudes, even when you are nice to them. Yes, some white women (and men) have bad attitudes, too, but the nasty black women take the cake.

I'm a white woman and NO I don't think all black women have attitudes. I think stereotypes hurts everyone! There are all types of people in every race.

Unintelligent people do, All races have fiesty women. Not just Blacks,Spanish ladies can be fiesty(and i don't at all mean this in a bad way :), I have Asian friends who some would say have an "attitude" , it is on an individual basis. Sometimes I have to be aggressive to get what i deserve, but i don't walk with that aggression 24 hrs a day
