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!?

Get the captain black-mouthmug. Treading in black waters means you are fighting or argueing with someone and you are JUST on the verge of telling them to fuck off. You can only use this term when you are about to end an arguement or a friendship/agreement. Should be used if you are completley ready to lose this persons trust and affection.
After James starting being a smartass and splitting hairs with me about how the server operated, I warned him he was treading in black waters.

Get the Jacksonville Black Coffeemug. A version of the Pokemon game specifically directed to players who are ethnically african. The purpouse of this games creation is to attract african-american people to the world of pokemon, considering the low rate of black pokemon fans (asian being the highest, followed by white/caucasians).
In order to accomplish it's objective, the game uses bad urban grammar with constant usage of hip-hop terms. Most characters of the game are also african, and the towns were switched for suburbian contemporary ghettos. However, the game does not seek to associate american black culture with crime, so there are no references to drugs, crime, rape, among other disfunctional behaviour.
Still, many protest agaisnt the realease of this game, claiming it is essentially racist by relating black culture to ghettos, and for the obvious reason of labeling black people in certain ways, as well as it's porpouse being racist itself.
Nintendo responded by saying: "We do not wish to offend black people in any way, and are aware that their culture is not reduced to what is represented in our game. Our game's feautures and black-urban design were only made to catch most young and teenage african-americans' attention. Plus, we are planning on realeasing a Pokemon White Version, as to not discriminate."
Whatever the view on this game, one cannot it ignore it's inherent controversy.
Rumours also hold that Snoop Dog is the Elite Four leader in this game.
