To be fair, I sometimes do succumb to black stereotypes but generally from knowing more (and even having some personal experiences with a few of them) that makes me think of them as people first. In the sense that you can’t generalise all of them. Some of them are accepting, some of them are rejecting or discriminatory (I know from experience and from what I’ve read). Some are bullies, some are bullied. Some are nice, some are bad. Some are exciting, some are boring.
Some are understanding and supportive of women, some are misogynistic. Ad infinitum. But that would mean black people are still people all the way the more you know and learn about them whether personally or from reading a lot. I even remember reading a few studies implying that black men may not be that well-endowed. If they use drugs to make themselves seem more well-endowed, then they’re not that naturally well-endowed.
It’s like dyeing your hair colour because it’s obviously not what you really look like even if hair colour does change at will over time (and repeated exposure to the sun). If a future study states that most Sub-Saharan African men have penises of around 3-4 inches when flaccid, then most of them aren’t well-endowed either. It’s analogous to a boob job really at times. You coveted it because you don’t really have it.
That’s still down to realising that black people aren’t monolithic but the same can be said of everybody and anybody.
