Why do african americans.....?

Question

care so much about their appearance and what others think and not care so much about more important things like living in a good neighborhood or home?

Answer 1

what?

man! are you trying to stereotype or what?

i would never think to say that all African Americans think that way

maybe some do, h**l...maybe even the ones you know do...but that isn't the case for everyone

please believe

i know some families who are really saving so that they can get into a good neighbourhood.

and i know others who already have homes that would probably makes ours look like a shack....so........

Answer 2

cause we G's nigra

Answer 3

thats how they are

Answer 4

they do???

i live in a nice neighborhood but i don't go bragging ..

and almost anyone especially girls care about their appearance ^_^

Answer 5

i live in a good area...i dont own a gun...im not white washed, but also not "ghetto" it honestly depends on how the person is raised...my mom raised me to be a good, educated, polite young woman so i think you should meet more black people and stop stereotyping...  

Answer 6

I'd say that is a sterotype for sure!

that is a big generalization you have made. how can you say that they don't care about living in a better home etc. all of the people i have met have always wanted a better environment but sometimes due to things like money its not always easy.

also, every one pretty much cares about their appearance. not just african americans!

Answer 7

that's not true, people of every race care about their appearance its not a race thing

Answer 8

Just curious as to why you feel that a few random strangers on yahoo some how speak for all African Americans.

And believe me, other races do this as well.  I live in NYC and I cannot tell you the amounts of White women that I've met (at work) who are living with 9 roommates, struggling, eating friggin' popcorn for lunch, all to save money for a $1000 bag.  Or, the ones who, again, have a bunch of roommates, just so they can afford Manhattan's disgusting rent, al in the name of saying that they live on Park Ave.  It's disgusting.

Fiscal irresponsibility exists among all races.

Answer 9

haha What kind of a question is this?

Answer 10

why don't you become an african american for a few days and you will answer your own question.  yeah, go ahead paint yourself black, go in the train,  go looking for a job, go and try looking for an apt. and all that stupid question of yours will disappear, I can't believe that people like you, has nothing to do, wasting other ppl time, go and do something, get a job or something! ufffffffff
