RE: WOMEN'S FORUM: The dynamic between White women and black women

(libertinagrimm)

Why do they hate us so much? I can count on one finger the black women I know (usually from work) that are even civil to me. Do you think they wanna be us or something?

They hate us cause they ain't us. We're prettier, we're softer/more feminine than them, their men want us, our hair and bodies are better, and we're more successful than them and smarter than them.

Black women are very aware that white women tend to be far more beautiful, and that even their own black men lust after white women. In this kind of situation it becomes very hard to get along, even if we're not interested in sleeping with their men.

Because we are women not apes they hate us I also had troubles at work with a female negro because of my skin color

As a white woman who has almost exclusively lived in black cities (believe me, NOT by choice!) I always feel they look down on me. They think they're better than us, and hold us in contempt just because we're white. They're catty & judgmental women, and I have had nothing but terrible experiences with 99% of them.

This has been my experience as well. I'm working hard on a career change and look forward to the day when I can pretty much avoid Black women (my new field does not tend to attract a lot of Blacks in general). As you might expect, I am not fond of Black men but I have had more trouble from Black women than from Black men. I will do just about anything to avoid interacting with any of them.
