Comedians (read Eddie Murphy) and that new thing called Hip-Hop dominated Black movies in the early 80s , but somehow, unlike today, there was nothing Minstrel show-ish about it. Take a look back at a time when African-American actors could lead a multi-cultural cast to one of the highest grossing movies of the decade… And when White directors could interpret Alice Walker without loosing one ounce of soul. And before you yell at us about what we forgot, remember this is just part 1. ( Click here to see our favorite movies of the 90s , in case you missed it.)

“It’s the reach of my arms, the span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips. I’m a woman, phenomenally.” Maya Angelou expresses the grace, beauty and savoir faire that black women seem to add to everything in “Phenomenal Woman.” Our flair for the fabulous commands attention. Every black woman somehow finds a way to turn a trend into something that’s her very own and although our style is imitated, it’s never quite duplicated.

Every race has its stereotypes. And we’re all aware of the stereotypes directed at black women. There are stereotypes that depict us all as ghetto, loud, argumentative, bitter, etc… I don’t like to be stereotyped- especially negative stereotypes likes the ones I’ve listed above. That’s why, as a black woman, I’m very mindful of my words and actions, while refusing to play into “black woman” stereotypes. I’m still genuine to who I am, and I don’t try to serve as the PR representative for an entire race of people. But I also recognize that because of the culture black women live in, it’s wise for us to be fully aware of how and why other individuals form opinions about us. This way, we’ll be fully equipped to recognize, not play into, and even tear down any negative stereotypes when the spotlight is on us. My advice to all black women is this: Be mindful of the image you want to portray. Check out 10 ways to end “black woman” stereotypes at MadameNoire.com
