Speaking of Monsters Ball, I’ve noticed that White men, drunk or sober, have become alot more aggressive as respects approaching Black women. I find it offensive. I also found that scene between Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thorton equally offensive. So to White men…all Black women are not whores, and we are not here as your ‘sexual experiments’. And I won’t speak for other Black women but for myself I say, back off…I am off limits to you. Don’t even think about approaching me, because I’ll cut you to shreds…verbally, that is.

And Muslims are no exception. Whenever an injustice was committed against a black person, I didn’t see any ‘ethnic’ people rallying with us. In the aftermath of 9/11, when Muslims were treated badly, unfairly labeled as terrorists and criminals, my thoughts were, ‘Well, now you know how my people feel.’ Now they, too, know the humiliation of being labeled ‘less than’ just because of their color or your religion. My empathy lies with my own people, who are still being treated ‘less than.’ So sorry, I’m all out of empathy for others.

Recently, twice in one week, I had confrontations with two rude women. One stepped on my foot on the subway three times without apologizing, until I threatened to kick the crap out of her; then she apologized and stopped. The other woman didn’t want to wait her turn boarding an esculator so she kept trying to nudge me to the side so she could get on. When I threatened kick her butt, she backed off. And last year I had to threaten to yank a White woman’s hair out by the roots, because she insisted on swinging it in my face. White women’s attitude is that they don’t have to extend the most basic courtesies to other ethnic groups. I find that unacceptable.

I think men who go around having sex with women indiscriminately are nasty – as nasty as women who do the same.

Same with braids and cornrows–white folks need to leave the braids, twists and locs to black folks. In addition, I get sick and tired of white people getting credit for something that is traditionally African (remember Bo Derek’s ’10’ look?) This chick was running around sporting braids at a time when black women were being fired from their jobs for wearing ‘natural’ hair. So no, I do not find white folks sporting African styles to be cute, nor will I apologize for feeling that way.

As for white women, I think the ‘big penis’ stereotype is mainly what attracts them to black men. As for black men, I’ve always believed many prefer white women to black women – one of the main reasons white Southerners went to such extremes to keep segregation legal.

And they love to tell themselves that black people who land good positions aren’t qualified for the job. Even a person like myself who, after 8 years and three promotions, has more than proven myself but am still questioned with respect to my ability. My attitude? Screw them. I’m here. Get used to it.

For your information, I am an African American .. an American black of African descent. I expect to be referred to as such. I really think white people dangerously cross the line when it comes to telling us what we can and cannot call ourselves. You really need to mind your own damn business.

I do see black men, particularly those in higher-level positions and who work on Wall Street, dressed in business suits. The younger hip-hop crowd wears FUBU or Sean Jean or Tommy Hilfiger.

And yes, I’m discriminating against you, but not because you’re White, but because you’re silly.

We’re not going ‘back to Africa’ (what a stupid thing to say to people who’ve weren’t born on that continent) 2.That we don’t have to like each other. I’m not hankering for White friends, as I’m sure you’re not hankering for Black friends. Just respect me as a human being. I can’t speak for other African Americans, but I just want to be left alone. Leave me alone to pursue my goals and dreams.

All mine’ mentality. Corporate America isn’t limited to White Males. Yes, more and more qualified minorities are in Corporate America. Or would you rather see me, a Black woman, scrubbing out toilets for Corporate America, than handling major accounts for Corporate America?

Your comfort level with people who are different from you is shaky, at best. Learn to appreciate the differences of other ethnic and cultural groups, and you’ll have no problem reaching out.

In the meantime, Black men are free to date and marry whomever they choose…I just hope they remember that, once they cross that line, they should stay over it.
