I don't mean to ignite a race war here at all, but just to initiate intense discussion.
One of my Professors believe that Black girls are better home wreckers than White girls. She is a black woman. She thought Latina women are subservient or more submissive. But again she warned me: Hey Sam, before you gallop down the alley to that White girl's door, be sure you already bought you a burial spot at the nearest cemetry because ever since O.J., they've decided to kill you first and weep at your grave later. OMG!
And I was like, Prof., so who do I hook up with after this scare session. She goes: go with the moment. Now I'm in a dilemma-it's called Sam's limbo.
What do you all think?

shows our academia has fallen prey to illusions as facts as well.

if it's not true at all times, and in all cases, than it is but partial fact taken as whole fact.

thus leading the mind to believe partial facts as reality?

partial facts as reality is but accessing partial reality?

knowing the whole reality is sanity.

since partial data was taken by this one as whole reality, this one would not be residing in total reality, so not in total sanity.

so, clinically unane.

get her some meds, lol...

lol.... she must hear this one.....kind of swaggers the mind...

Women are women. Color doesn't have anything to do with the behavior of women. We (like men) learn from our cultures, family, friends, and other influences in our lives. We act and react just like men do.

Honestly, if your professor is telling you things like this it's time to change schools. I can't stand it when ignorance breeds.

Is she a professor of homewreckology?

I think she is talking crap. You have to remember that not all professors are necessarily bright.

Hmmm....are you sure that racial context plays no role in a person's behavior? I am black, but I think it does - there are idiosyncracies critically peculiar to every given culture - something they are noted for.......you disagree?

I've been told that Hispanic men are abusive. However, I know several Hispanic men and not one of them abides by this type of thinking or behavior.

Ignorance breeds fear.

Years ago my ex-husband's new wife told my daughter, "Oh, you can't move to ***** because there are black people there. They will beat you up and steal your shoes!" (sigh) My little girl returned home, crying, "Mom, I don't want to move."

Ignorance breeds fear.

Sure, people slap titles and tags on everything. I don't think it's a 'race' issue so much as it is an 'ignorance' issue. Honestly, we go through life learning from our experiences. So, in my life I've had the two events (among others) I referenced above happen. Did I believe what I was told? No, I chose to go and learn/experience firsthand.

I've learned that people are people no matter the color, life experience, resources, etc. We are all the same. We emote, we bleed, we breathe, we sleep...we exist. Your professor may not have learned this yet. Or, perhaps it's the lesson she's learning now.

She has a right to 'be' and I'm acknowledging that but I will not pick up and plant what she's expressing into the garden of my mind. It would pollute it, don't you think?

Cultural norms has influence on our behaviors and attitudes, however idiosyncrasies can be used to create biases and breed ignorance without having a complete understanding of a given culture. I am Latina (Brazilian and Hispanic)and women in our culture are known to be subservient or more submissive, but what does this mean?

"Hmmm....are you sure that racial context plays no role in a person's behavior? I am black, but I think it does - there are idiosyncrasies critically peculiar to every given culture - something they are noted for.......you disagree"

There are other factors other than "racial context" that play a role in negative behaviors within all cultures among all people.
