Black women have so many negative stereotypes against them that aren't explained in depth for people to understand, so I thought of four common stereotypes that have been placed upon black women for decades.

1. "Black women always wearing weaves, they must not have any hair."

OKAY, first of all, there are plenty of women from all over who wear weaves. Weaves are just a necessity, and have always been. However, there has been cases for which women would wear weaves for protecting their natural hair, or other various of things. There's nothing wrong with being versatile with your hair.

2. "Black women have bad attitudes."

That is the most ignorant thing ever said, and I'm not too sure why everyone could think that. I like to say we're divas who don't take mess and are very observant of our surroundings. (Just kidding, but seriously). Just because we walk with pride with our shoulders held high doesn't mean we have sour attitudes.

3. "Black women can't keep a man."

I wouldn't say all black women can't keep a man simply because there are a lot of successfully black heterosexual relationships within the black community and a lot of which we're all aware of. Jay Z and Beyonce, Barack and Michelle Obama, Will and Jada, and many more. In my family, my mother and my father's side there are plenty of couples who have sustained they're relationship for years and still love each other.

4. "Black women are bitter."

I personally feel like some black women are fed up, we're the least appreciated in society and the most unprotected. But through it all we rise and manage to be happy. Just because you may come across one black woman who is bitter, or you may have a close friend that you know who just so happens to be bitter doesn't mean that ALL black women classify as bitter.

Being a young black woman I have heard these streotyoes from other black women the most and have seen society attack us on all other aspects. This breaks the community down, this is why I'm so adament on sticking close together because in the end we're all we've got.
