This type of article destroys Wikipedia's credibility
It belongs in the urban dictionary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8801:9500:370:3C3A:8F0F:6E11:3F7B (talk) 18:01, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. It needs a serious revision. Zezen (talk) 10:48, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

OK, I tried my best, but had to stop at: Black women were involuntarily ascribed characteristics related to their identities in being Black, Woman and enslaved.

This claim is too bizarre to try to rectify; as Negro women were properly (and "voluntarily") deemed to be Black, female and enslaved. Let other Wikipedians pick it up from here. Zezen (talk) 11:01, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Angry Black Woman → Angry black woman – Per precedent of other "stereotype" articles like Angry white male and Strong female character not being capitalized. There is no apparent reason to capitalize this one. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:21, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Support. Per WP:TITLEFORMAT, "Titles are written in sentence case." Thinker78 (talk) 08:14, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The question seems to be, "Should BLACK be capitalized everywhere?" Are there guidelines for Wikipedia? The article has a mix of upper/lower case, depending on the section. Looking at top hits in Google, most of them used lowercase. One strange exception was the title of the paper was "sentence case" but the abstract had it all in upper case. Also, there is about the same size content in Stereotypes of African Americans. Seems like that content should be merged into this article and the lead/lede of this article replace the section's content in Stereotypes. (When I say upper, I only mean capitalized) StrayBolt (talk) 08:54, 3 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Support - for me, confirmed by google ngrams. — Netoholic @ 09:46, 3 March 2018 (UTC) B
 * Thanks. I added more ngrams and while "angry Black woman" does register, all lower case is still larger. Ngrams doesn't include the most recent decade so there may be some shift. Some books do use the acronym, ABW. Here is Google Trends, but it doesn't add much since it doesn't deal with case. StrayBolt (talk) 19:18, 5 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Support as per nom. Shadow007 (talk) 23:36, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

In popular culture
Proposed new subtitle to document more recent usage:
 * Michelle Obama
 * there are many RS's documenting the fact Michelle Obama was labeled an Angry Black Woman posted on the internet. In fact she actually acknowledged this and discussed it.  A published book "The Obamas" discusses this as well. Just do some research, or I can to add the content... Bought the farm (talk) 00:16, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

= Stereotype, Trope or Archetype =

This article uses stereotype and archetype interchangably. It also links stereotypes to tropes. This is confusing and poor use of language. Recommend rewrite 86.11.51.106 (talk) 14:42, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Racist and misogynistic edits
This page has been subject to racist and misogynistic editing the latest being on 14th September and 22nd August 2021; there are also ones in 2020. I do not doubt this will continue. Please be aware of this when using this page for information for yourself or other. Please rectify any issues you may find.

The stereotype as "masculine".
The opening sentence describes the stereotype as "inherently ill-mannered, ill-tempered, and masculine." The first two seem clear but I'm not getting the masculine part unless you think being angry is an inherently male trait, which is absurd. All of the characters cited in this article are clearly feminine and are written as feminine. I think "aggressive" or "authoritarian" would be a more accurate description rather saying they act like men. 2601:2C6:4300:6090:8963:1EB8:D9B2:9CDE (talk) 22:57, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
