A stereotype in many parts of American culture — including the workplace. Studies show people in organizations believe Black women are more likely to have belligerent, contentious, and angry personalities, an assumption not as readily assigned to other men and women when engaging in the same activity. Definition is paraphrased from a Harvard Business Review Source.
The ABW stereotype is so prevalent, that people who have never experienced the blowback from being passionate about a cause as a Black Woman, really believe she exists. They therefore define her in cheeky, racist and stereotypical terms as some 'angry "sista" with a bad or "street" attitude.' They don't realize the behavioral science behind the ignorance...and in defining the term incorrectly the become part of the problem.

Black Female Manager: I'll want to throttle my passion for correcting this indiscretion (whatever it is), so that I don't come across as an Angry Black Woman (ABW) in the minds of my associates!?

A loving term, which describes a beautiful black woman whose ethnic make up is mostly african. She is not of biracial ancestry. She often has luscious chocolate skin, beautiful kinky-afro hair, full lips and a lovely figure. The term was coined on a forum by Dawn Ali. The term was originated in order to dispel the myth that a black woman must be mixed with non-african blood in order to be beautiful. It was also created to expand the definition of black beauty to include the wide range of skin colors and hair textures of black women.
I was browsing on Dawn Ali's forum the other day and I saw a beautiful picture of a black-black woman, she had chocolate skin, full lips, a gorgeous afro and a great smile. She is the most beautiful woman I've seen.

A male of any race who has a fetish for black females. He usually claims to love black women unconditionally, yet he shows no regard for the feelings of the black females he is involved with. He tends to have trouble committing to any one particular black woman. He tends to group all black females together, has trouble seeing them as individuals and is prone to cheating on one black female with another black female.
Jake is such a black woman collector, he has dated four black women in the last three weeks and has not committed to a single one of them.
