First, how many black men do you know? You really aren't an authority on black male sexuality. It's funyny that you point out stereotypes of hypersexual black men in a thread where many men who I assume are white complained about women's relative ease with which she can have sex. These white men are not having as much sex as they would like. Maybe ATOT has high standards, or maybe the stereotype of hypersexual black men is really a stereotype of men.
Then you try to tell me that I'm being ironic--you mean hypocritical--by disagreeing with your stereotype with a generalization. First, you cannot make cultural analysis without generalizing, which is different from stereotyping because it's based on evidence (unlike your claim that black men will fuck anything). Second, I acknowledged the individuality of black male sexuality. Black men are not a monolithic group; we do not all think the same way and we have different standards of beauty. In fact, the diversity of black male sexuality was my main point. In this thread, there have been numerous stereotypes about black men, made by presumably white guys who obviously haven't met that many black people.
That said, the vast majority of heterosexual black men I know like women with thin waists and fat asses. The ideal for this body type is Beyonce; she is definitely not fat.
Just because a few white guys on the internet think that black men love fat white women does not mean that this phenomenon is common, and it certainly does not imply a majority preference.
I think I know more about black men than you do, considering I happen to be one.
I didn't really follow the point that you were trying to make in that first paragraph, but this conversation isn't about my credentials. You don't need a Ph.d in Afro-American studies to pick up on stereotypes that you have witnessed with your own eyes and ears.
Obviously, it's not a very flattering stereotype, so of course you, as a black male, are expected to react the way that you are reacting right now -- with outrage and indignation. Is it a fair stereotype? Perhaps not, but just because you object to it, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. I didn't create it, my friends didn't create it and I never even explicitly stated that I agreed with it, but yet here we are. It's out there.
Sure, every black guy thinks Beyonce is the pinnacle of hotness. They all crave thin waists and fat asses. Nobody is saying that if you line up Beyonce next to a fat chick, black guys will choose the fat chick. But the stereotype is that these black men would gladly settle for thick thighs and a beer gut as long it it still includes that juicy fat ass. Does this make them any different than men of other races? Only in so much that other men don't have that stereotype associated with them.
In the end, it doesn't really matter how much you know about black men or even that you are a black man yourself, you can't change the stereotype. I mean I guess you can try to, which I suppose is what you're trying to do in your post, but at the end of the day, people will still believe what they believe (right or wrong, ignorant or not).
