    The black stereo type huh?? What exactly is the stereo type exactly? As a black man myself I am rather curious and perhaps you could enlighten me.
    Stereotypically they love fried chicken and kool-aid too.
    I figured that. But really I just wanted to point out the irony of why a stereo type even exists. The stereo type exists because of the negative opinions others have. Whether there is any truth to it or not, the stereotype need not even really be a negative trait in and of itself, rather it as preceived as such by certain individuals who do do not agree with people who are different then themselves in the first place. If someone holds a stereo type, it really says something about that person actually.

    Specifically it says "Those people are different from me for ____ and ____ reasons. I don't like things are different, therefore it must be wrong.
    Stereotypes exist because people don't have a full understanding. Everyone will stereotype at some point.

    In what Floyd did i can see why people make the link with stereotypes I mean there he was shouting curses in the face of an old man with his manager and trainers backing him up like some sort of gang on the streets.
    Yeah, but seriously... and I mean very seriously. It's not like only black people do that, so the whole stereotype argument really doesn't hold water. It is just that others have that false view of how blacks act. Just because there are a few bad apples does not mean that logic goes completely MIA. The people who have stereo types are just as guilty as those who so-called re-enforce them.

    Stereotypes are usually no good to anyone but there not going anywhere. It's just an easy way to understand things you couldn't otherwise.

    True, but Floyd's behavior is still not specific to black people in particular. Being an asshole definitely is not. That is universal. So if a stereo type is bs, I feel compelled to call someone on it, less more people start to accept such nonsense.
