For whatever reason, they like mean women and they LOVE drama. They lie and claim that they don’t but trust. They do.

Our emotions are not irrational, they are in fact justified reactions to heinous events…events which people other than our own do not recognize as overtly offensive.

As for why the brothas aren’t as “angry”–so to speak–as we are, I say it’s because ATLEAST they walk around as the high sought after sex figure…WHICH consequentially boosts their ego from time to time…(ok maybe that last part was a bit much).

My point is that, often I am regarded as acting irratitonally to certain events and circumstances, but know one understands as us the way (we) black people do…they just don’t understand our strife.

I'm new to this blog. Well, not really, since I've been stalking for a while but just HAD to respond to this. I live in NYC and get catcalled ALL the FRIGGIN time to the point where it angers me and yes might have turned me into abw on the streets. NYC born and raised. Black and Latino men are the ones in my experience who you cannot walk past without being commented on, or being commented on in a vulgar manner, or being commented on AFTER you've walked past so that they could get a good booty shot before saying something to you. I know I can't walk in certain neighborhoods without expecting someone to say something. I purposely put my headphones on even when I am not listening to any music, as a 'buffer.' Seriously, any black/hispanic woman living in NYC, has got to know what I'm talking about. This starts when a woman is about 12. No kidding. So yes, those ninjas make me morph into abw and I do not apologize. White men make comments too, but really, not so much. They may look at me, or even nod a head or say 'good morning,' but compared to what the black and hispanic men say to me, they are actually a lot more respectful. @The Champ,

Coming from the south I was friendly, smiley, polite n what not, until Philly told me differently. Being sweet or nice in the inner city, makes u an easy target for dudes to hit on u n other girls to pick on u. I'm one of the sweetest girls you'll prob ever met, but If u catch me on da train I'm prob 'mean muggin doing my blank stare out da window' look.

Barack Obama's empathy. “But empathy, i think is more what cause 61% of White people to vote for Barack Obama and be the catalyst in this country.”

True. Barack Obama’s empathy.
