Waiting to Exhale by Terry McMillan, the bible for the angry black female (and some wonder why they're still single) My experienc is the same with talk radio, esp. when I heard things like 'Kobe is guilty. What's he doing messing with white women?' :sigh:

Thanks for the info, I'll remember who to ignore if the name ever comes up in conversation. Then again, I come across a version of it in the American Indian community, with women complaining that the best men get taken by White women, and American Indian men complaining that the best women get taken by White men.

At first, I wasn't going to respond to your post but your comments are something else.

You seem to be just as angry as those black females you accuse. Maybe some of those black women react the way they do because they are aware of history. It is a historial fact that SOME white women have falsely accused SOME black men of "wanting them" and the black men got hung or worse for it. Even in law, I believe it was Jared Taylor who brought up in his book, Paved With Good Intentions, that in rape cases, when the victim is black and the perp is black, the burden of proof is on the woman. When the victim is white, suddenly, the burden of proof SHIFTS to the black man to prove that he's innocent. With Kobe Bryant, why isn't the history of his "alleged" victim allowed to be considered? Maybe because it destroys the notion that SOME white women are as pure as snow as SOME white men have propped them up to be. But, I haven't been keeping up with the case so that might not even be relevant.

The sad truth is the history of blacks and whites in this country is bitter and painful. White women were right there with white men, discriminating against blacks, encouraging and defending the abuse of black men and women and, if you're black, you would know that. Maybe that's why so many of those so-called "angry black women" feel the way they do about black men who feel the need to chase down white women as if white women were the only women on the planet.

And before you "go there", I am a black woman who is happily married to a black man.

And the reverse side of the same coin concerning OJ and the murder of a white woman.
