1) Noun: People who are black. Actually range from dark brown to very light brown/almost white. A potentially great people who let poor education, poverty and negative cultural influences hold us back. We still have yet to become completely equal in terms of lack of discrimination and equal opportunities, but we're getting there and we're still in the fight. Even if some of us just barely are and some of us in the inner cities just want to get by on hustling until we're killed or put in jail and some of us in the suburbs just care about our own personal financial upward mobility.
Racist white person: "You people don't give anything back to society. We gave you everything."
Black person: "America is a creation of both black people and white people. Go to Google and type in "African-American inventors" and "African inventions" or "African civilizations" and enlighten yourself."

The people responsible for hip hop,R&B, and blues. Black people usually set all the trends and people love to admire there culture. Even though everyone loves this part of black people and look for them in entertainment people still don’t feel totally comfortable around them because of stereotypes

Historically, the most hated and oppressed humans on Earth. Viewed in a Jamal Wallace from Finding Forrester sort of way if educated. Viewed as non-black if able to achieve positive-iconic status. How paradoxical and mercurial the definition of the black person is...
Illustration of definition of black people according to non-blacks is exemplified in the following scene from "Do the Right Thing."
Spike: Who's your favorite basketball player?
Turturro: Magic Johnson.
Spike: Who's your favorite movie star?
Turturro: Eddie Murphy.
Spike: Who's your favorite rock star? Prince!
Turturro: Bruce. Bruce!
Spike: All you ever talk about is nigger this and nigga that, and all your favorite people are so-called niggas.
Turturro: They're different. Magic, Eddie, Prince, they're not niggas. I mean, they're not black. I mean, let me explain myself... they're not really black... I mean, they're black but not really, they're more than black... It's different.
Spike: It's different?
Turturro: Yeah, to me, it's different.
--> And that's the paradoxical nature of being a black person!

the realest people ever. we may be violent at times. but ALL of us aren't ignorant and uneducated. in fact many of us are educated and very well off. people that come across many times of testing. Puts God first. and doesn't give a care about what anyone personally thinks of us. we do what we know how to do well. i'm beautiful, black, and proud!
i don't care if yuo like what i wrote or not because i am a black pupil that refuses to see these stereotypical definitions of black people.

Smart, Creative, Intelligent and Strong. Black People Don't Take Shit From Anybody. Black People Are Independent and Can Take Care Of Themselves. They Will Do Anything To Protect There Family. They Are Also Get A Casual Spanking If They Are Disciplined and Aren't 'Hood Rats' Only With A Few Exceptions.
Black People Stick Up For There Family So If They Knew That Harm was Coming They Would Do Anything To Protect Them.

A people that have overcome great struggles, though others try and keep them down. People say that they use racism as a crutch but in reality they don't know what it means to be black, they don't understand how they are still discriminated against. A people that use the word "cracker" in reference to how white people would crack a whip at the black slave, and say its racist, and don't understand that they use the word because white have been using the word "nigger" for years. A people that still have to prove themselves to people who think of themselves as higher beings. People who have done so many great things but are still treated like trash. A people with a great determination, who wont stop fighting for equality.

When you think of black people, what do you think of? Do you think of someone who steals from your home, speaks improper grammar and relies on well-fare? Well, you obviously don't see us as people, you see us as thieves. White people have stolen the most out of all of the races. Sure, the ghetto makes us look bad, but not all of us live in the ghetto. Heck, Eminem lived in the slums, and he is white! None of you white people try to think of that, do you? So many people discriminate against us, even other blacks. Fuck all of you racists
Racist: I hate black people.
Racist 2: I know, I hate how they always eat chicken and drink kool-aid.
