I don't agree with it, I never did. I'm Black, with a job, and I don't have the desire to sell drugs or commit crimes, my future is too bright for that.

I dont agree witht this sterotype at all. the only reason why it seems this way is because those that are out selling drugs are broadcasted on every bit of media. There is not one to go into jobs and let the country know that there are men who work and pay taxes. This is a good question that can not be answered by a simple couple of lines.

Some black men are like this, some aren't. Some Jews are cheap, some aren't. Some Laotians carry knives, some don't. Stereotypes are everywhere. Sometimes they're true, sometimes they're not. Anyone who believes ALL black men are lazy, don't have jobs, etc. is delusional.

I don't agree with it. Even if black men did have a slightly higher rate of committing crime, I don't think stereotyping it would be productive.
The root causes need to be examined.

no, i don't agree with this stereo type. I think a lot of stereotypes have to do with where you live etc. If you live in a positive AA community, then you have a positive outlook on black males. If the area in which you reside in is rundown, then you are quicker to generalize and support negative stereotypes.

It's not the colour but the environment. Unfortunately " Liberals" trying to help the visible minorities have created welfare and subsidised housing. All this does is make sure all the lowlife criminals are all together. Now how do you expect good kids to come from that environment?

There is only ONE black stereotype that applies to myself personally-
the one about black men having large "packages" as an earlier poster put it.
