Angry Black Woman

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!?

Black-Black Woman

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.

Anti-Black Woman Racism

An idiotic form of discrimination, which targets those who identify as both black and female. A common practice of anti-black woman racism is to exclude black females from social and cultural activities, such as parties, clubs, reality television, lead movie roles and marriage. Stereotypes, such as the angry black woman and baby mama are used to spread anti-black woman racism to the masses.

Unlike regular racism anti-black woman racism is a form of racialized sexism, which is specifically targeted at black females of all ages and backgrounds.

Laromana, did you watch Lad Diecinueve's reality show last night, he sent five women home just because they were black women, that's some anti-black woman racism right there.
