Sadly, both you and your Black male friend have chosen to keep company with Black women without tact and/or manners. The veracity of your conclusion that most women of African descent are rude ends there: with the women you associate with, or have had the misfortune to encounter. I humbly suggest that your friend re-examine the types of Black women he decides to approach. If he uses material wealth (read: flashy clothes, high-end car, big wad of cash on hand) to attract women, he'll invariably find women fixated on the superficial, like what a man can BUY them. I'm certain your friend would be highly offended if Black women judged most Black men by the negative encounters they've had. For instance, my friends & I have had numerous experiences with Black men who don't know what 'dating' is. Typically the scenario involves the man inviting themselves over to your home, boldly announcing you'll cook for them, and then not-so-subtlely hinting that the evening will conclude with sex. That is uncouth, ill-mannered, and offensive. Nonetheless, it's not representative of Black men's behavior in general, just the men who are uncouth & ill-mannered. The same holds true for white women. In the workplace especially I have encountered duplicitous, deceitful insecure, backstabbing white women with painful regularity. Would it be an accurate conclusion to regard most white women as shrill, gossip-mongering opportunists who will take the first opportunity to put down someone else to make themselves look good? In the end it all boils down to the UNcommon common sense people talk about so much. Of course most Black women are NOT rude; to think so isn't because of one's limited life experiences (you're 22, you haven't begun to live), but because of a conscious or subconscious desire to judge the MANY by the actions of the few.
