This is gonna sound racist af, but that’s why I’m posting anonymously, duh: The “crazy black lady” stereotype is f****** real & I wish people in the black community would teach their daughters better, less emotional communication so people would stop treating them like s***. It’s been reported that black women are given poorer treatment by doctors because all their histrionics about what pain/symptoms they’re feeling just makes the professional think they’re being melodramatic. I used to work at a health food/vitamin shop & this one woman (I guess she had gout or something, I forget) would walk around the store & scream loudly “Oh Jesus! O GOD HELP ME!!” all between singing bars of Purple Rain (just a sort of mindless humming). We’d ask her if she was ok, we’d offer her a seat, she was perfectly polite (& sane) except for the intermitent shouts of pain. I get that she was hurting, but it was still crazy that she couldn’t seem to find a better way to convey that she was in distress beyond literally screaming throughout the whole store. idk where I’m going w/ this but, I just wish they’d quit the weird social behavior- it works against them and I don’t think it’s really just racism that makes people treat black women s*****. EVERYONE treats black women like crap.
