Are black people more emotional than white people (page 4)

mrsjones5

When I was 21 I had a boss (a white lady) who thought all black folks could sing like Whitney Houston. She volunteered me for a company talent show. Regrettably I had to burst that bubble.

My wife just showed me a Photo that someone posted on her computer of a white man with a little penis and a black man with a monster penis. The caption said. "Thats how racism started"

So "Black people like watermelons more than white people" amazing

Barry - I refuse to believe that all Aussies are so misinformed about African Americans as you are.

I understand your post Barry, and I also realise and understand that nothing racist was meant by it. I have personally noticed that many-(notice that I said many not all) Black people often have a stronger emotional sense of family, something that everyone should strive for, no matter what tone our skin is. Even in the JW's, I have noticed and have heard of many who would not shun their own family members because of such a strong familial bond. I have even spoken with an African American person on this board about this. Also, I Love hearing the Gospel Choir in many predominantly Black Churches, as the singing is so emotional and joyful, and you can tell that they (those in the congregation) are truly singing from their hearts, unlike, for example, a lot of JW's who sound like they are only parroting the words. The same goes for the preachers. You do not see this in many predominantly White Churches.

I don't understand why people think that your post about this is a bad thing. I would be willing to bet, and I would guarantee that if you took 20 churches, you would find that in the predominantly Black ones there is more emotional and soulful joy that resonates within everyone.

Being emotional is not a bad thing. Love, Joy, Peace, Long Suffering, etc. are all emotions, and the stronger those emotions, the better, so long as they are not excessive to the point that it hurts others. Saying that someone is emotional, or even more emotinal than others does not always imply something bad.

I would much rather listen to Whitney sing Gospel than I would Amy Grant. I feel that Whitney was more emotional when she sang.

So, yes, I do see your point Barry!

Please ignore Barry - he's simply trolling to stir the pot.

No, we're not ignorant of black Americans. We don't personally meet that many over here and the most some Aussies get to know about them is from the media - tv shows, movies, singers etc.

I have had personal experience with one in particular, as I lived with him in Europe for 6 months. I won't say it was an education on living with a black person because I saw him as American first, black second or more likely, tenth or twentieth on the list of other qualities he possessed. He introduced me to Dave Chappelle who at first I thought was highly racist but my bf was able to explain the nuances behind the comedy.

Just as American comedy is different to other cultures, so is Australian. Barry isn't really that ignorant, he's pretending to be, and the more you react to him, the more he'll stir the pot.

Whitney agreed too!

Whitney Houston lyrics to "So Emotional"

I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me
I keep your photograph beside my bed
Livin' in a world of fantasies
I can't get you out of my head uh
I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night
Why you wanna make me feel so good
I got a love of my own babe
I shouldn't get so hung up on you

I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much uh

Chorus:
I get so emotional baby
Everytime I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do

I gotta watch you walk in the room baby
I gotta watch you walk out
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk I just watch your mouth

I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much no

Chorus:
I get so emotional baby
Everytime I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional baby
Everytime I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do RIP Whitney
