As far as emotions, are black women really stronger than white women?

Question

Not racist. Just curious. It's hard to know the truth when a majority of the time your surrounded by one race. I cant ask my white friends because who could answer that without being bias.

Answer 1

I find this to be a stupid question. However, I will answer.

Blacks, like every other group are CULTURALLY different than whites (sometimes).

Black women are just as weak as all other women, they are just brought up to "act strong" and be "tough". Its all Culture.

There is no mental or emotional difference between a Black, Asian, White or Hispanic. Duh!!!

Answer 2

Really depends upon the woman...it's part of her personality...not her races personality

Answer 3

i'm not sure how one measures emotions with respect to 'strength' nor how anyone could be expected to know the answer.

Answer 4

No, they aren't.

There's no such thing as an emotionally stronger race.

Answer 5

sadly..in this ultra politically correct world...such questions are deemed as racist...often by whites who dont even know any blacks.

To answer your Q, I think its mostly about upbringing. Though I learned a lot about inner strength from black females when I moved to the city..out in the burbs, where I grew up...the mannerisms are all the same..black/white/hispanic/asian

Answer 6

I agree with Mike T but I also think that they are willing to take less from someone and stand up for them selves more.

Answer 7

no but people of ANY race, when they have to endure hurtful relationships in their childhood or when they go through an insecure childhood, they tend to grow tough shells around them. That is what makes some people seem stronger than others. Unfortunately that is not real emotional strenght. Of course most people go through a period where they learn to trust people again, usually in their 20s-40s and they loose the shell and once again feel comfortable and safe being vulnerable. It is not a racial thing, it is reaction to one's experiences

Answer 8

I don't think it has anything to do with color. I think it has to do with who you are and how you were raised. Everyone is different regardless of color.

Answer 9

I see a lot of black women having hysterical meltdowns in public, so I think they aren't too strong...so no...it is individual, not racial...

Answer 10

When you see high school girls fighting on buses, or videos of female fights, it's heavily percentaged to black females in violent conflict.

That is not a 'strong emotional control' to me.  That's just flying off the handle and going nuts.  When someone can control their emotions and stay rational and disciplined, they're strong.

I'd say, culturally, "No."

Answer 11

In my observations we (Blacks) are very stoic. We don't tend to cry or fly off the handle for small things.

Answer 12

Race and emotionality have absolutely no correlation.  Temperament is passed on genetically.  Uh huh.  Look it up.

Answer 13

to tell you MY truth when you tell something to a black women that upsets her she gets all offensive and starts screaming and then she says oh Mayleen hold my earings. white women yeah they get offensive about it but, well some do and some dont just give a snap about what people think. idk if that helped you but sorry it all that seems mean. im just telling you what i observe where i live.

Answer 14

No one black woman is the same & to compare a black woman's emotions to a white woman's, heck I thought emotions had no color.

To answer your question: I would have to say that no, it's not your race but the circumstances/environments that predispose you to deal with your emotions.

Answer 15

Black women appear strong.  I have seen many in movies.  I live in India.

Why the thumb downs?  Whats is wrong in this posting or the idea expressed?
