this is so sad. what is even more concerning is black men will endorse this. Just look at tim alexander. He supposedly wishes to ‘help’ the black woman and instead finds every opportunity to tear down the image of the black woman. Not every black woman is angry. So man stereotypes.

thanks for posting this. i recently wrote an article at about this at a Campus Progress’ Pushback:

it’s a sad state of affairs when the media passes off black women’s fight for their communities and their families as us just being “angry” for no reason. hope you take the time to read and comment on my article.

How many angry black women have national radio shows where they always make negative remarks about anyone who is not an angry white male. I believe the term may be transference. Bill o’reilly, Rush,Michael savage,Don imus. It’s called competence and security guys, you know when a woman feels that she can be a strong black woman, and mother and still love and have the love and respect of her husband. Obama appears to know that having a strong woman doesn’t make him weaker.You should try it.

I submit that most of America has never seen and/or experienced a truly Angry Black Woman. I also submit that no one wants to either see or experience an Angry Black Woman! They really don’t even have a clue!

I’m not an angry Black woman. I am however, a baffled Black woman. Why is it that when Blacks, especially, Black women are profiled as celebrities, or widely recognized, or who are well-publicized, called hate names? Are we to stay in the box? Well, the day has come when we are out of the box, we are renowned, and inflammatory words will no longer hurt us, we have endured so much that it’s just another move. Mrs. Michelle Obama, keep your head up, for you are somebody to be recoginzed, you are a REAL WOMAN. My prayers are with you and your family.

UPDATE: Here is the information from the Huffington Post with a video. I saw this last night on Dan Abrams. I've not been able to find a transcript or video of the encounter yet. Abrams played a video clip of Cal Thomas a Fox pundit making a statement about "angry" black women, Michelle Obama, Maxine Waters, Cynthia McKinney and local black female broadcasters, characterizing them as "angry". If we can find the clip, perhaps Fox will have to issue yet a third NONapology in 2 weeks.

What is the context of this quote? There is no link to a story or video… just a disembodied headline. Give us the full story, please.

Ironically, if someone said this on Fox, then they just might have gotten something right for once. To quote Ani Difranco, “If you’re not angry, then you’re just stupid, you don’t care. How else can you react when you know something’s so unfair?”

I can’t imagine why any woman in America wouldn’t be up in arms about the state of our nation today, black or otherwise.
