What is seen as empowering, but really shouldn't be?

Being a “strong black woman.” Only specifically because most of the public depicted strong black women on social media and stuff actually just have giant attitudes and are big and loud and people just don’t want to deal with the headache. It would be nice if the strong black women depicted were those that rise above and against the cesspool of society such as politicians, teachers/principals, astronauts, physicists, business owners, or mothers who work from home even. The point should be that they are great and strong elegant or professional survivors or that they have what it takes to get where they are; not that they can mow people down with their oversized obnoxious personality. That is not a ‘rising above’ example for our future.
