Is it normal that i feel sick when i smell that 'black people' smell?

Yeah uhhh, whites have a 'smell', too.
Btw, it's the chemicals they use for their hair that's such a strong smell. Not them.

have you heard the "white people smell like like a wet dog when they get caught out in the rain" stereotype yet? there's plenty of dumbass racial stereotypes out there. let's not compete and see who can bring up the most silly one though. that'd be one long competition.

Not to start some sort of online bullshit argument, but you OP, must admit that this post is extremely ignorant. To be completely honest, some of the most disgusting people I have ever met were white. Not to say all white people are dirty. It really all depends on where you're from and what you're exposed to. I've seen some disgusting people of every race. I would never group anyone together and just make some ridiculous over-generalization.

Anyone who doesn't take care of themselves properly will not smell pleasant. For one, considering black people have different textured hair than other races, washing their hair everyday will cause damage resulting in their hair falling out. Their hair is dryer, so "grease" / oil does have to be physically put back into the hair to retain moisture. Greasy hair on black people 9 / 10 times means it's clean. Since blacks can not wash their hair as often as they would like, it acts like a sponge at times. Any food they have cooked, especially fried, that day will be able to be smelled in their hair, so a mixture of food may also be what you're smelling. It needs time to air out. The time it takes for their hair to dry and be styled is also a big factor in why they can't wash their hair more often.
Enlighten yourself.

Everytime I hear someone tell me I smell like black people.. I want to pick them up and shove them out a window.. xC
Seriously? Black people don't have a "smell".
Jeez.

I think it's funny how a lot of black people get all crazy and accuse white people of being racist. But black people think they can make jokes about white people all day and it's not considered racist... Get the fuck over yourselves we're not in the 19th century anymore -.-

You're probably imagining it. I highly doubt one race has the same smell.

Most racist comments start out with...... "Okay, so first off I'm not racist, at all."

You forgot to include that you have black friends. Get your chit together!

I've always noticed that (to me, anyway) black people definitely have a smell that is off-putting, to say the least. I live in a mostly white suburb and take a lot of cabs. About 70% of the taxi drivers in my town are black. Whenever I get into a car with a black driver, I have to open the window because I get nauseated from the smell. However, I never smell that same smell with white cab drivers (even if they don't look like they've showered recently). On the subway, the same thing happens. The other day, I knew a black person had got on the train because I could smell him; sure enough I turned around and there he was. Why is this? Why do blacks smell different? I have a keen sense of smell and even base my relationships with boyfriends on what they smell like. I have always dated white men. There was one particular man whose smell I loved; however, none of them had smells I hated. What's up with that?

It's the smell of our hair after it has been straightened.I guess for the guys it's just their hair products.

My Mom once told me that most of the latinos that she knows can not stand black people.

She said she asked one of her employees why one day, and their response was "They are lazy, they don't want to work, and they smell. It's like, their SKIN has a bad smell..."

Maybe you're smelling what my Mom's employees are smelling ^^;

I'm starting to get a bad vibe from this site. I'm black and i use the same products most people use like axe, gillete, old spice and no one has ever said that i smell. I think i'm going to stay off of this site for a while. It used to be fun but people are getting so ignorant.

The smell you are referring to is either chicken, bananas or cocoa butter but probably all of them mixed together!

I've noticed that many of the really dark black people have a "stank" odour. I don't know what it is, but it can be quite bothersome sometimes. I don't notice that smell with the lighter-skinned black people.

I know what u mean!!! And ya I think it's their hair! It gets all oily and gross x.x...idk how no body has agreed w/ u on this one...I thought everyone knew they had a smell...haha oops...but don't worry! Very normal! Just like super authentic Asians have a smell and so do mexicans...haha...

My boyfriend is black and his hair smells like throw up. He smells it also. It really smells strong after he showers. I had another black male friend that had me braid his hair after he showed and same thing. It smelled just like vomit. I don't know why their hair stinks but I still love my boo

Chemicals being released through the skin and hair will give blacks this special scent. Black men have a very sexy smell. Especially after receiving a haircut or shape-up, when chemicals are being released the most.

Yes, it is normal. There is a "after smell" that will be there no matter how much they bathe and apply deodorant. I noticed it dating black girls. It's always the same smell, only varying in intensity, and depending, apparently, on how much black ancestry the girl got. I picked it up even in girls who weren't obviously black. I remember one whose father was mixed, the mother was white, and she had a nice smell. The sole exception to the rule. I guess she got lucky and got the white part from both parents regarding body odor. I googled it, and it's related to the density of apocrine glands. Blacks have the most, Asians have the least, Whites in between.

Blacks and whites have different chemical make-ups in their body so that may explain why the smell of back people makes you feel like throwing up although I think you may be a bit hypersensitive to their smell given your reaction. Whites probably smell the same way to blacks that blacks smell to you. I don't think you're a racist but I think some of the comments by others here are racist and extremely ignorant.

im black and i agree with the smell but its only some of us not all and i think the smell is caused by being in a house that smell like food
some of us do eat alot greasy foods so that is most likely the problem

I can't stop laughing.
Black people have a special scent now?
LMAO.

Mistake. Happens all the time

Black people stink like decay. Its not their gell or products. They just give off a dead carcus odor. They tend to shower left because their "hair" can't get wet. It makes me close to throwing up too but I hold It in when I'm in public.whites never seem to smell I'm 19 yr old girl and not a spot on my bod that don't reek flower goddess and when guys southern dine on me the think it smells and tastes like peaches n cream. And no need to defend yourself to these sensitive blacks,theres a white hate epidemic currently directed towards us from the backs. <3

Personally I love the smell of co co butter. I use it all the time.

I dont tend to go around sniffing people. However its hard not to notice that most pakistanis stink. It is a unique smell aswell....

That doesnt make me a racist. It makes me a realist...
