Wikipedia
Black American Princess or BAP is similar to the "Jewish-American princess" stereotype. It refers to young, wealthy, cultured African American girls.
The BAP Handbook: The Official Guide to the Black American Princess (ISBN 978-0767905503) by authors Kalyn Johnson, Tracey Lewis, Karla Lightfoot, and Ginger Wilson offers a behind-the-scenes look at BAP speak, style, and history. According to the guide, a black American princess is a pampered female of African American descent born to upper-middle- or upper-class families. Her life experiences give her a "sense of entitlement" and she is accustomed to the best and nothing less.
Condoleezza Rice has been described as a Black American Princess.
