Isn't it? Maybe...maybe not. But, I didn't read where anyone actually said..."black girls are obnoxious".
RetroGunslinger said "And knowing how black teenage girls tend to react to those types of situations, I'm guessing she didn't take it sitting down."
You read..."black girls are obnoxious"
Why?
Because you got the exact same Springeresque image that the rest of us did. Of a loud unruly black teen, hand on hip, head bobbing, finger waving, going "oh no you ditnt". Ever seen that? I have. Many times. from an overwhelmingly black source. Oh sure...you see the occasional white girl doing it. But then you just think...she's acting all black.
That is where stereotypes come from. You wanna fight 'em great. But ignoring them is tantamount to burying your head in the sand. It's there, and it's there for a reason.
