    Have you ever got into a fight/altercation/verbal dispute with a black woman who thought she could give you attitude and then called racist by a someone (bystander or someone who was with her, or maybe even her) because you didn't back down or take the shit? Why does it seem like, unless we're groveling at their feet and treating them so holier than thou, we gotta be racist or something? :smt013

    Right, its interesting that you have brought this up as i had an altercation with a black Nigerian lady about Queing in line at the Next Clearance store at Lakeside, basically she was leaving her basket in line and continuing to shop repeatedly.
    Right, i dont know about America but here in UK this is not acceptable AT ALL!!
    So i stepped over her baskets and took my rightful place in line (no lie she left her basket 4 times) she comes back and tells me to get back behind her!! i DECLINED and told her that people line up not BASKETS !
    She threatened me with phsyical violence and called me a racist! which is laughable she actually took a step towards me ( i said love if you lay one finger on me i will kick your arse to the ground and dont think i dont mean it):smt071

    I have black girl friends although they are british born, they would never dream of behaving in that manner!!
    This is not the first time ive had line issues with african women, twice its happened in Asda, but those 2 were just pushing there luck and resumed there proper places in line, without threats of violence.
    Are these the kinds of issues you have a problem with, although you would think if they were American black ladies they would be more mannerly.

    HAHA- i see interracial altercations all the time here in toronto.

    it usually concludes with the black woman telling the (white person) in her native tongue(jamaican, african etc) that shes going to bust a cap up his ass...lol.whats funny is that nobody EVER does anything. Really guys, if you are going to fight, fight already or stop making a scene...

    Nah, I don't think it's different in the US. I've gotten into a lot of fights with a lot of black girls if they try to get "that" attitude with me. And I just snap. Usually they bring up the race card if they're older, I've noticed. The last time it happened to me, I was at work. Working nights (3rd shift), flipping burgers (actually I didn't do that, I was a cashier who took orders and collected money and got drinks and handed them the food). So like 30 people come in all at the same time. They were a family. I was up there all by myself. One person was in the back making the food, and my manager was off doing God knows what. So, taking care of this huge bunch of people was on me and one other person. Well, they weren't happy about that (nor was I), and I was pissed off already at my manager for fucking around and not being there almost the entire night. Anyways, the younger girls (about my age) started doing that "looking at you like you're stupid" and doing the "head rolling" and being "sarcastic", and I threw the attitude those girls gave me back at them (well, the white version, heh) and a couple of them were like, "Oh no you didn't!" and did the finger thing at me, then me and the few of them got in a heated argument and started carrying on back and forth. Then my manager came. But it took a while to shut us up. The guys there with them were all just lookin' embarrassed and trying to get as far away from those girls as possible like, "We aren't with them." Then, this older lady (well, older compared to me) that was with them says, "Is it because we're black?" GTFO! You know what? I'm sorry about what other white people have done and what some other white people are still doing, but the fuckin' shit doesn't have a gotdamn thing to do with me. If you come at me with a f*ckin' attitude, I'm going to throw it right back at you, I don't care WTF you look like. I'm not going to kiss your ass and bow down to you and let you act like miss queen bitch to me and like I better stop everything I'm doing to cater to you, because of what other people have done that I didn't have a damn thing to do with. Yea, I'm racist, that's why I'm engaged to a BM and am going to have his babies! Duh! You didn't know? That's what all us racist white people do!! Did they know that? No. Did I tell them? No. Do I care if they know? No. I'm just saying, if you don't know someone, STFU! Then this other time, we got a whole bunch of people. And right while I was in the middle of taking this guy's order this woman broke in, "When my order gonn' be done?" Like she wants me to cut the guy off who's in the middle of telling me his order, "Hold that thought. I have to walk all the way to the back and ask the people cooking and putting the food together when this woman's order is going to be ready." Nah, she can wait just like everyone else has to. I just ignored her. So she asked one of my co-workers then made a comment to them about I'm "racist or something." :smt013

    Uhm that scene you pictured for me ref black american woman and there attitude issues sounds plain down right rude.

    I think its all about manners and whats acceptable, i feel sad for the women that have taken liberties when in line in my country because they are fullfilling a stereotype, that i personally hoped was not true !

    But what am i supposed to think when all the line jumpers ive ever faced all 3 of them have been Black African Ladies.

    Im disgusted with the attitude i encountered the fact she threatened violence was appaling, but what i also found interesting was that she thought that by being that way i would automatically jump back behind her ? Which leads me to believe that SOME black ladies have a stereotype about white women ie we are alll pussies who wont fight back when confronted?

    It would be interesting to hear this issue from the other side, but as a WW BM site its hardly likely i suppose, UHMMM :smt009

    I'm a bit of a pussy so I try not to get into a violent situation. It has happened though with white women and black women.

    The racist thing does my head in. One woman called me racist shit then accused me of being racist. Honestly, I don't get it! I am against violence but this dude I know got in a fight with a black guy/biracial guy (for the record this guy is an idiot) and he got the guy done with a hate crime/racial assault. The guy didn't say one thing about his background or skin colour.

    I just ignore it though. I've had a similar situation with a black woman in a queue (in line for a bus though) over here... honestly, I don't let anyone infront of me, unless you're disabled, pregnant or old. She thought she had the right to get infront of me and when I said "excuse me, I was there" she accused me or being racist. Blah. There's loads of nice black women though. Just a few idiots, as there is white women. It's just the out-of-no-where-calling-me-racist thing that's annoying.

    Never been called a racist, but I just got told off by my ex husband.

    I hadnt had any contact with him in about 2 years or so. He some how got my cell phone number and started calling me. He wanted to get back together, I told him it was way too late for that but that I would be friends. (should have known better)

    We start talking, he keeps pushing to reconcile or wants me to get together. Words go between us. I pretty much told him to pick his baby ass up off the floor and grow up. I have never spoken to him anywhere near as rudely before, not even when I caught him cheating. To which he replied I was intentionally trying to hurt him because I am white. He went on to say that white people are mean spirited and black people, by nature, are not.

    I just changed my phone number and that was that. I dont have any extra energy to give up to him. But I have to tell ya, I still want to fight over what he said. Ah, well....

    I personally have never had that sort of problem because I believe i've got the greatest boyfriend in the world period!, I would'nt literally not change him for any man out there, I come home from work( he finishes about an hour before he gives me messages and cooks me dinner and we always watch a horror movie then go to bed together, I wish this sort of love for everybody on this website because he makes me feel one step closer to heaven when i'm with him and I just can't get enough of him and believe it or not but for those few hours i'm at work I miss him lol, 9-7 away from my man is too long:D, lol you can probably already tell how obsessed I am with him because nearly every post so far i've mentioned him
