I don’t credit her nationality to the reason why she got what she got but I do agree that she is partially to blame for it ;)

All Black women have these NEGATIVE labels. The West Indian men stereotype African American women as well & it’s usually to the extent that they find American Blacks ghetto, inferior. I hear and read African American men state that they date Black women, just NOT American ones. In today’s society Black women are demonized PERIOD and put in a “box” by Black people esp. the MEN.

@ WindChimes I totally agree with the notion that black men put us black women in a “box”.

I am of caribbean descent, jamaican and Barbajan (barbados), and we are know for not takin anything sitting down but to say that she deserved anything for any reason, especially because of where she is from is prejudice… and i think alot of people are mistaken by the facts of the case if they believe other wise. she didnt inflict physical harm to him so why is it okay that he did to her because of her descent? no one knows for sure the history of the relationship, but this incident is no exception

I would have to say that West Indians may have a temper. Maybe they are just on some hood s**t. Who knows?

I’m West Indian, Montserrat. People just talk, Rihanna’s West Indian background has nothing to do with the way potrays herself. Like everyone else said, Black women in general have a bad rap. A side note: where did Stacey Dash get all that booty from??

eye RATHER have a woman from west indies than an amerikkkan one

There are beautiful women in every race or nationality. Also I don’t discriminate when it comes to women. There is also a large number of stereotypes about women from different races and nationalities. Don’t believe all that garbage. I judge each person on an individual basis, how they treat me and others.

This article have some valid points.. I’m Jamaican and people expect me to have a temper before knowing me. There are always going to be different stereotypes with different nationalities..it’s expected..but people need to shut their mouths before speaking on something they have no clue about. Especially if it’s about a celebrity and coming from tabloids. The back up dancers for Chris Brown who told Rihanna to go back to Barbados needs to think about it.. she came to America willingly…not on slave ships.. I rest case.

i’m a from jamaica and and i would never date jamaican woman again they are just 2 fowl i aint saying all of them are trife but most of yall is 2 much drama for me

wow.since when did a persons ethnicity suggest what their personality and life?Hey pumpu, that is funny you say that about Jamaican women b/c their is a whole lot of ish out there about jamaican men, and I know people who are not jamaican that wouldn’t give a jamaican man a time or day.in fact, every ethnicity has their own stereotype period.I believe that Rhianna isn’t as innocent as the media portrays.Chris was wrong to put his hands on her but she wasn’t a goody 2 show either which is clearly obvious.But af far as Jamaicans.I went to college with a girl who is jamai. but I must admit that I was ignorant @ that time about jamaicans, I was in disbelieve that she was because she was kind of quiet.But yeah, ethnicity doesn’t imply what a person’s behavior is, but rather their surroundings and the environment in which they were raised b/c that is all they see and know.

Well Im of haitian descent and I know very few spicy haitian women. I just think its wrong to make a generalization like that. If Rihanna is crazy its because of her and not because of where her family originated from.

It just depends on the person and how they carry themselves. Has nothing to do with where u from.

How silly….so, I guess another question one should ask…..does american women get a bad rap? stupid ass question.

I have the same discussion with some of my friends, and we concluded that it has to do with the values and conditioning here in the United States. This is the reason why we as black people of all nationalities and shades will never be united because we buy into this whole notion of divide and conquer. To where we have to put down a certain group to make ourselves look good and higher in the totem pole than the next. I know youve heard your friends or others talk bad about black folks from the caribbean, south amerikkka and afrika in a very negative manner.

i am bajan an for de people that is talking junk about west idean women r west indeans in de whole know nothing about we people dont know how hard it is in these places so when we go places an doing things we cant let noone dont care who they r rub s**t in our faces an it be peaches they just hateing cause the see some of de best comes out of the west indes but dont care how they try to bring us down with the fath in the lord we have to mek it so keep hateing so wat ever yall want to say about us it dont make us r break us

its all stupid…..WOMEN period (not matter what race, religion, sexual orientation) get put down as a whole…

yes we do and rihanna half breed ass is the stereotypical version all the way
so i totally agree but she aint the only west indian entertainer
sade is west indian as well and shes a f**king angel like myself

no, west indian women dont get a bad rap (im not west indian btw) blk girls r just as worse, have u ever been to magic city? lol and nicki minaj is very pretty but just a hoe.

I THINK THAT ALL WOMEN, ESPECIALLY ALL BLACK WOMEN DO. BUT MOSTLY BY BLACK MEN. YOU CANT STEREOTYPE A WHOLE REGION. BUT EVERY STEREOTYPE HAS A VALID BASIS. I HAVE HUNG AROUND ALOT OF JAMAICAN MEN AND WOMEN, AND THOSE ONES WERE MORE STANDOFFISH…KINDA STUCK UP OR HAVE AN ATTITUDE. BUT IM SURE THATS NOT ALL OF THEM. HOWEVER, I DO FEEL THAT WHERE YOU COME FROM DOES HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON THE TYPE OF PERSON YOU BECOME. DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE WORLD HAVE DIFFERENT CULTURES…SOME HAVE WOMEN WHO ARE MORE AGRESSIVE AND SOME HAVE WOMEN WHO ARE MORE LIKE DOOR MATS. BUT BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD STOP PUTTIN OTHER BLACK PEOPLE IN CATEGORIES AND JUST LOVE EACH OTHER…D*MN CAN WE PLEASE BRING BLACK LOVE BACK…

Tell It Stefan…they been jocking West Indians for years man. Jamaicans’ Trini’s(like me), haitians all that. All this talk about Jamaican weed being the best, and rasta this and that. The audacity of some folks. When U see most domestic violence situations being those of these yankees. They just S.O.S where they don’t say s/hit and be like, “girl he loves me.” And 9 out of 10, they take they silly men back. Ha!

dont believe Sade is West indian bro. Last i checked she was of Nigerian decent.

West Indian women run the show

didn’t this article feed into the stereotypes of west indian women to, so why print it? This is a dumb topic like most of the blogs on this site lmao. If it was about west indiam women…. then why was rianna the topic…. should of did a lil more research about west indian women and not use rianna as your subject cause that just makes it apparent that you don’t know what the hell your talking about like most people who single out a group lol.

Although the article is poorly comprised with suggestive statements and false conclusions….
I have to admit west indian women are different. not better not worst but yes different. Our music, dance and style of dress in ours and should not be really second guessed by people who do not share our experience. I am haitian and proud of it

stereotype is always going to follow us regardless of where we are from but i remember growing up and people did not like us because of how we speak now they want to be like us. so get for real. i am Jamaican and proud!! And a little fyi all woman can be hot headed!

i am a jamaican and very proud of where am from as for rihanna she has been out there for a while and how she presents her self does not have an effect on all carribean woman it is very childish for some one to even state that what this person does has an effect on all carribean woman it is a lie there are childish adults and there are the adults my theory stop being so childish and neggative and grow up those who blog,media ,how ever you end ur thoughts learn more about uscarribean peeps before u JUDGE
