We're all loud, rude, obnoxious, white people-hating, ghetto, promiscuous, illiterate, self/all-hating, stupid niggers.

Dost thou agree? I mean after all, one represents all.  

EDIT: I honestly thought the sarcasm in this post was obvious. Some people are actually taking this seriously. Doesn't the "We're" give away that I'm talking about black people INCLUDING myself?

Do you honestly think I'm so self hating, that I would refer to myself as a loud, rude, obnoxious, white people-hating (come on, my last ex was WHITE), ghetto, promiscous, illiterate, self/all-hating, stupid NIGGER?

How slow can you be?

   Oh dear I've done it again.
   I can't understand why I so often seem to make a comment which stops a thread dead in it's tracks.
   Perhaps I'm just brilliant at summing things up so that nothing more needs to be said

   Getting back to self-hatred,it seems to me that this is not a characteristic of blacks in particular but rather a characteristic of Americans in general.
    In fact I think a case could be made for saying that Americans lead the developed world in self- loathing
    Consider --
         The US leads the world in Obesity & substance abuse.That is a huge proportion of your population who are virtually self-destroying
          The US has the highest rates of imprisonment in the developed world.Thats a vast number of people being judged by their fellows as being unworthy.
          The Us sets impossible standards of beauty & body type on its women folk that condemn about 90% of women to feeling anxious about not measuring up,& to disliking at least a part of themselves.In fact I think it fair to say that Americans must hate their women to want to do this to them
          Finally the perpetuation of the belief in the American Dream - that anybody can make it if they want to & are prepared to work hard enough.Well it was never true & is certainly the opposite of true today. Yet this myth condemns most of Americans who do not 'make it' to being regarded as failures,And it enables the whole society to look down on the greatest failures as being to blame for being lazy, thick, or trailer trash & all the other perjoratives thrown at these people to dismiss them from consideration
The American dream has a lot of self loathing to answer for.
          Maybe all Americans are masochistic

is she a self-haing caucasoid if she braid her hair like a black?

As for straightening/relaxing hair, I only had my hair straightened because my mother wanted it that way. And plus its easier to manage. But I'm not doing that anymore, I'm transitioning back to my natural hair. Happy to be nappy~ It may be tricky, but its what I was born with, so why not?  

Whoo! Me too!

As for the person in the pic, do you have a side shot - and how specific do you want to get?
just the 5 race classification is enough

I disagree with the "Black people straighten their hair because of self hate" part. Maybe some do, but most people around here just do it because of the look.

I disagree with you except for the illiterate part, since I'm black and I can't read.

   This kind of topic really worries me.It invites racism by implication & I find many of the responses confusing
    I'm sure one can make generalizations about any group of people & they will be true to degree that one is aware of huge areas of overlap with other groups, so the statement can act only as a rough estimate.
    For instance I'm aware that some black Americans straighten their hair to look more like whites & do so out of self dislike even racial dislike, but I don't think one can generalise about that too much since most of us are fashion victims to some degree & all over the world men & women are seeking to alter their appearence in order to look like some idealized 'other'.Are brunettes dyeing blonde, girls wearing high heels,Japanese trying for round eyes, all signs of some racial self hatred. I don't think that is likely
    The girl in the picture could be mixed race,like most of us.But with pale eyes she could be  Celtic,Spanish,or Greek All before & after a long holiday in the sun.But so what? Why is it important?
     These days 'Black' seems to mean 'non -white' without taking into account all the different shades of 'non-white'so it is a meaningless term.
      Similarly 'white ' is not defined, as though it is obvious when it isn't.Greeks ,Italians & Spaniards were considered non white in Aystralia for a long time as they were in England.The Nazis considered blue eyed blondes only to be real whites.I'm blue eyed & ash blonde but come from a family with many browneyed brunettes.My mother passed as South African Coloured ,a Maori in NZ,An Indian in NZ & S Africa. & a Mexican in the US.She was English Anglo-Saxon.
       O know I'm labouring the obvious but I'm doing so because I suspect this sort of topic.Its implications of dividing us up into some specious heirarchy in a nudge- nudge wink- wink. sort of way.Why is everybody so concerned about non -whiteness in countries like the US in ways that are not to do with poverty & its commcomitants.What is it with Americans & race?

I don't think it's self hating for Negroes to change their hairdo, but I can't speak for all of them.
