I know that a lot of white ppl think that blacks are angry and that we yell a lot and overreact to things. I can understand to a degree why this may be true.
But do you think it's true that that's why white ppl(especially women) have more nervous breakdowns and are more prone to crying and being upset than black people.
We handle our anger by saying what we want right then and there and sometimes yelling.....White people would rather keep the peace and keep things down to avoid a scene but keep things bottled up and eventually break down.
Does anyone else think this is true?
Of course not all ppl are the same(Im speaking of majority of the race)

I agree with your perspective I disagree that it is a color issue. I believe this is more of a culture issue than color. In the culture of the midwest or the bible belt and in several of the Southern States your perspective has a lot of merit. On the west coast it is my experience that women tend to be bolder and more forthright about their opinions. The New England area, Mid-Atlantic states, Great Lakes area and some Southern states all have large groups of people that vary a great deal from this perception that you have. Europe has the same kind of variances. England and northern France agree with your perception while southern France, Spain, Italy for the most part, Greece and the Nordic countries as well as Holland do not. The middle eastern countries do not allow their woman much in the way of freedom of expression except for Turkey. This is why I say that it is culture over color.
Great observation though!
Your sensitvity and awareness of people is a real asset. I hope this talent serves you well.
