Hurtful, ugly stereotypes are directed at Black Women--not girls! I am a black man and I will tell you the opposite of what people really think of black women.
Black women are phenomenal--Maya Angelou's famous poem Phenomenal Woman
Black women are excellent cooks
Black women give some of the best advice
Black women get educations, degrees, diplomas, etc.
Black women can raise a family all by herself and work 2 and 3 jobs at the same time, still holding down the fort!
Black women are business savvy and clever--Look at Oprah Winfrey!
Black women are strong for their families!
Black women are Queens--they have been for centuries.
So all the negativity that people believe of black women is over exaggerrated to an extent--Yes they are strong, passionate in their speech, clever in their motion of body langauge--but to me (and this is my opinion only) Black women are a large part of the world's backbone--just like other women of other countries are backbones as well!
I love sistas and respect them for their creativity for bonding, soul food and soul love and their magnificient and powerful endearing love for living life!
Here is a poem that can only partially explain the beauty of a black woman:
The Black Woman on the Daily
She is wearing a business suit or a uniform
ready to go to work,
but she has to drop the kids off to school,
she leaves them with a kiss.
The night before she made fish,
fried it in corneal,
even made some hush puppies---
damn could've slap yo' mama--
so good and fingers so tasty.
She has the lead solo
in church you can hear her voice down dirt country lanes,
through big cities,
and small towns
a beautiful sound amongst the fields of peas.
She is a strong,
intelligent,
she has been hurt,
but dried up her tears a long time ago.
She keeps on keepin on,
because she must put her faith in God--
he always makes a way for her.
She may not have the best education,
but her children are going to have what she doesn't have,
or flipside,
she has the best education--but she wants her child to be better than she--
She loves her man,
the man that she calls her king--
you know the one that gives her temple offerings
and love to match.
She makes sacrifices--
for her children, her family, her friends...
A hug from her,
can dry up your tears
and bring a smile to your face,
because through it all
this beautiful, regal black woman
is the sunshine of your day.

Negative and positive.
Negative stereotypes:
Loud, angry, hostile, tough, violent, ghetto, overweight and unhealthy, on welfare, users of the government and of men, fake hair, attitude problems, poor hygiene, and one I've heard a few times is that black girls are more "manly" or masculine than other girls, which is so far from the truth.
Positive stereotypes:
Nice bodies, pretty, womanly, strong-minded, self-confident, big breasts, big butts (guys love that), nice features (such as big eyes, full lips, nice nails, nice skin, etc.), "go-getters" that is, determined to succeed, good and trend-setting sense of fashion, high standards for men, intelligent, good singers, good dancers, good cooks, independent.

I don't know about the overweight or weave wearing characteristics - but being opinionated can also be added to the list. I'm proud of it.

Loud, fat, ignorant, and argumentative.
However, when I think of black girl, I think of sunflower seeds, pickle juice, jelly shoes and double dutch.

Loud, Obnoxious, rude, bitter, ghetto, weave wearing, hoochie, overweight etc... I don't fit any of these, I don't understand why they exist. The good stereotypes are that we are strong willed, outspoken and confident.

Good and bad. People assume dumb and stupid things about us being us when it's not even like that.
