But it's still a generalization, and it doesn't hold true for 100% of the population that you are discussing.
This is not the kind of internet community where members can make broad generalizations about race, gender, sexuality, religious, etc. and expect that no one will notice. That's all.

I'm sorry for reading into it like that, it was wrong of me. However, I never said anything about 100% of the black population, or even of the teenage female black population. I was talking about a general amount. I have black friends, some of whom are girls, and even they have said that black girls can act "crazy" quite a bit. I'm not attacking blacks, I was making an off-hand comment about how I imagine the situation in the OP went down, and then I made the mistake of trying to, once again off-hand, explain what I meant.
I apologize for coming off racist, and I'm sure some will continue to say I am for what I say, but it's simply not true.
