Coming from a young black lady I would not say that.Yes we do have strong black sisters but you also have strong white siter.Im not just saying that.But you get a lot of women from mant different races that are mentality weak.So it has nothing to do with black,white,yellow.Some women are just weak.

I would have to agree with ladyglam. Iam a black woman and consider myself strong but I don't see race as being a factor of how strong a woman is. I think it just depends on her life experiences and who she is as a person that makes her strong. All women are different so of course there will be some weak and some strong regardless of race.

funny thing though is that some may see people as weak and then there are others that see them as strong,seeing that that is usually when they need to be their strongest to get through the times of being weak which may eventually make them stronger then before,never know not what but why a person actually does what they do even though sometimes they may tell you when they may not know the exact reason till years later,so when you observe and determine someone as weak they may actually be stronger then the one that you think is strong

WTF Are you kidding me? This is just common sense but strength is not measured by race but by the individual. My mom is Irish and black, so my question is which is her strong side and which is her weak side.
Again this is 2009 and is freaking hard to believe.
Back in the 80's I had someone ask me when a black man has an orgasm is it chocolate, I won't tell you what i said to her, definitely out of character for me.
We become strong because of our circumstances and our back grounds. There are strong women out there on all sides. Each ethnic group have those that they are proud of and those that they wished belong somewhere else.

Behind Coretta's Veil: Black Women and the Burdens of Loss
Gender is as critical as race in marking the trauma of King's death.

Gender is as critical as race in marking the trauma of King's death.
Gender is as critical as race in marking the trauma of King's death.
04/02/2008
Forty years later there are two particularly poignant and enduring images associated with Dr. King's assassination. The first is the circle of men surrounding Martin's body on that Memphis balcony as they point in the direction of the shooter. The second is Coretta Scott King's mournful and resolute face beneath her widow's black veil.
Both images capture the radicalizing power of Dr. King's murder. Together they reveal how responses to racial terrorism are often gendered. Many black men are like TheRoot.com contributor Professor Michael Dawson, who found his authentic political voice emerging from the ashes of his beloved, burning city in the aftermath of King's death. Like the men on the balcony, they became the vocal and visible leaders of the continuing movements against injustice.
Many black women swallow their pain, gird their loins and persist against impossible odds when the men they love are destroyed. They are like Medgar's Myrlie, Malcolm's Betty, and Martin's Coretta. Much less visible and vocal, these women become the symbols of strength and endurance in the aftermath of men's murders.
This does not mean that all brothers or all sisters responded in the same way to Dr. King's death, only that gender is as critical as race in marking the experience. King's assassination was one incident in a long campaign of domestic, racial terrorism aimed in specific ways at black men. Race riots, land theft, agricultural peonage, castration, mutilation, postcards of human sacrifice, and lynching pierced by the smell of burning flesh constitute the terrorism that black communities have known throughout the twentieth century.
Even today, black men die young. They perish from violence and from poor health. They vanish from communities due to joblessness and incarceration. Their absence means that black women are often left alone to raise children, to sustain neighborhoods and to battle for rights.
In their solitude, black women face enormous obstacles. Women heads of households are twice as likely to live in inadequate housing. They earn less than their male counterparts. Fewer than half of black women have bachelor's degrees and the unemployment rate for black women is more than double that for white women. More than 1 in 4 black women live in poverty.
Babies born to black women in the U.S. today are two-and-a-half times more likely to die before their first birthday than white babies. Black women have higher rates of hypertension and diabetes and are more likely to die of breast cancer than are white women. On the whole, black women face lack of education, underemployment, poverty, racism, disease and isolation. Survival itself seems miraculous. It is no wonder that we praise black women by calling them strong.
Despite the significant challenges faced by women, black cultural vocabulary and collective memory have often understood black men as uniquely vulnerable to the violence of American racism. Dr. King's assassination is part of that story. Today, we often speak of endangered black men, point to the challenges facing black boys in public schools and rail against the prison industrial complex as a modern system of slavery.
While we must mobilize around the continued attacks against black men and boys, I worry that this particular formulation leaves little place for black women's brokenness and it can encourage us to silence black women's concerns. The assumption is that the "endangered black man" needs the "strong black woman" to protect the community in his absence. But what are the costs to black women?
The strong black woman must confront all the challenges, persevere against the impossible, provide unlimited encouragement and always be prepared to do what needs to be done for her family and her people. She must be sacrificial and suppress her own emotional needs while anticipating those of others. She must have an irrepressible spirit unbroken by a legacy of oppression, poverty and rejection.
My point is not that black women actually are stronger than any other group of women, but that the idea that black women are strong and that they need to be and should be is an imperative. Strength is a kind of racial rule for black women. To be a real black woman, you have to be a strong black woman.
I have spent the last several years studying how the strong black woman ideal has real and measurable consequences for the mental and physical health of individual black women.
The imperative of the strong black woman icon generates a set of expectations that black women aspire to achieve. When the material realities of black women's lives militate against the mythical of unwavering strength, the resulting sense of failure and disillusionment has real effects on their emotional and physical well being.
There are political consequences too. Seeking to sustain their position as backbones of communities and pillars of strength, African-American women too rarely demand the resources to meet their needs. Areas where black women have the most personal and critical needs are often the places where black politics is silent.
We rarely discuss black women's incarceration and its effects on families. We don't know what to do about black women's accelerating deaths from HIV-AIDS. We are completely silent about the sexual victimization that so many black girls and women endure.
As sisters pick up the broken pieces left behind when black men are ripped from communities, they find themselves struggling at the intersection of many forms of marginalization.
So it is hard. When I look into Coretta's face in that photo I am proud of her. I know that she will take on the burdens of family and of movement with everything in her.
But I am also so sad for her. I know that black women's political labor often leaves them less mentally and physically well. I know that there are few places where a black woman can weep and be comforted; few places where she can be broken and find help; few places where her voice maters much to others.
I believe the challenge is to create a new political legacy that acknowledges black men's vulnerability without ignoring black women's needs. We must give voice to the attack on brothers without silencing sisters. We must not be seduced into believing that patriarchy will save us.

Come On everybody stop giving those weak lines. You yourself have ask yourself the exact same question and I have even ask my white friends as well. I personally believe it comes from the person within. You can take a strong women and break her down and she becomes weak and off track and you acan take a weak woman and make her strong. So i just think it all stems from self esteem.

Yeah people are always interpretting everything as talkign down a race. Maybe wherever the OP has been it HAS always been the black women who were stronger. They didn't say it was "because" of the races. Common sense tells you if you take two races one of them is going to be more of something than the other.

You know that it's true that there is a stereotype where all races joke that black women are stronger than anyone else. Doesn;'t mean it's true, but that's just another one of those stereotypes. And obviously SOME people are going to fit into stereotypes and some aren't.

WTF Are you kidding me? This is just common sense but strength is not measured by race but by the individual. My mom is Irish and black, so my question is which is her strong side and which is her weak side.
Again this is 2009 and is freaking hard to believe.
Back in the 80's I had someone ask me when a black man has an orgasm is it chocolate, I won't tell you what i said to her, definitely out of character for me.
We become strong because of our circumstances and our back grounds. There are strong women out there on all sides. Each ethnic group have those that they are proud of and those that they wished belong somewhere else.

Intellectual, emotional and physical strength has nothing to do with the melanin content of a woman's skin; there are women of every race willing to stand up and voice their opinion. Google "Women's History" and see what women of all colors have achieved thus far.

African American women are resistant. Culturally they had to be in the fields and work in the slave owners home and rear his children while the white woman sat her lazy behind down like her stuff aint stink. So if you ask....why they are strong...and every generation after her...it is a conditioning at best brought from wayyyy back!

Please someone bring some insight into this!!!
because of what blacks have been through the last 300 yrs in this country. It didnt kill us. It made us stronger. White women in america have it better than any one in the world. Have never had to work hard. Have never struggled. Have never lived in the projects. Have never been discriminated against. Have never been slaves. Have never had any true worries. have always had white men (with or without money) take care of them. White women have been spoiled since the beginning of time. Black women have never had money. they had to be strong back in the day and hold families together. all they had was faith and strength. and its been passed down to each generation.

Coming from a young black lady I would not say that.Yes we do have strong black sisters but you also have strong white siter.Im not just saying that.But you get a lot of women from mant different races that are mentality weak.So it has nothing to do with black,white,yellow.Some women are just weak.
so young and naive. bless you you innocent child.

WTF Are you kidding me? This is just common sense but strength is not measured by race but by the individual. My mom is Irish and black, so my question is which is her strong side and which is her weak side.
Again this is 2009 and is freaking hard to believe.
Back in the 80's I had someone ask me when a black man has an orgasm is it chocolate, I won't tell you what i said to her, definitely out of character for me.
We become strong because of our circumstances and our back grounds. There are strong women out there on all sides. Each ethnic group have those that they are proud of and those that they wished belong somewhere else.

i wanna know what you said! and she was just asking that cause she was curious about black guys and wanted to f**k you but i guess you didnt realize it then. so what you sayin is the stronger of the two probably had the roughest background. sooooo which one of the two most likely had it roughest? hummmmmm... the white girl or the black girl?

hmm are you trying to say that color has anything to do with having a rough life? are you again serious. i grew up with a mother that hitchiked with me and my two brothers when we were 10, 8, 5 from jersey to florida. she had no money or no place to go when we got there. we stayed in missions, churchs and everywhere. we would get settled in a place and she would have the urge to move again. no money in hand but would pack what would fit in the car up and just go. we had a rough life with her. so i really am sick of the ignorance of saying its a race thing.

ok. you hitchhiked from jersey to florida but you were able to get a car with no money. yea you had it rough compared to the millions of black women who struggle in the projects everyday. and the black women who were slaves and raped. and the black women who suffered for years even after slavery cleanin up after white people, because thats the only type of jobs they could get, for only about 2 bucks a week. it is about race. thats what this thread is about. the difference between white women and black women. whether you like it or not it is about race. there will neva be equality in this country no matter how much you try not to make it about race. im sorry you went through that. im not saying that experience didnt make you a strong person because im sure it did but no one in this country have had it rougher than black men, black women, and the indians. You dont even see indians anymore. black people are the only ones who have never been apologized to for the way we were treated. and we the only minority group to not get restitution. just seems like white america believed that slavery was ok because it was legal. so we shouldnt get anything for it. and that is the difference between white women and black women, especially older black women who understand the struggle they went through. older black women understand the truth and that it is about race. white women dont have a clue because they havent had to struggle. thats why most are so naive and live in this fantasy world where racisim doesnt exist. well sista it still does.

Don't forget who sold the slaves to the white man. Warring African tribes sold them for shiny little trinkets to the white man. No restitution! I never owned a slave and will not pay. My ancestors did. It was wrong but that was a long time ago. People like you are the reason for racism. We have a black President for crying out loud. Quit crying about what happened before any of us were even born.

No race is better than the other..so stop crying about it...as for myself it offends me when someone starts making a big deal about how rough we may have had it..and how we have pulled ourselves out of the dirt..not saying I dont' care..but come on.....its 2009 look forward not back Just because we are all different people of skin tone does not mean..one has had it worse than the other...we all have had struggles..even if it be now..or a few 100 years ago.

Black women scare me.
I've seen them fight other women.. they fight like men.
White chicks just pull hair and scream and slap.
Black chicks grab you by the scrotum and upper cut you to the face then step on your head.

Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_United_States
From 1654 until 1865, slavery for life was legal within the boundaries of much of the present United States.[3] Most slaves were black and were held by whites, although some Native Americans and free blacks also held slaves; there were a small number of white slaves as well.
I demand RESTITUTION for my enslaved forefathers from ALL THE RAPPERS on Earth!
