There is this common lie that Black men tell when justifying
their hatred of Black women that they are sleeping with white women today to
make up for the hundreds of years that white men raped Black women during
slavery. I’d have to be a deaf, dumb,
blind and mentally handicapped fool . . . in a coma before I’d believe any
stupidity like that. Black men don’t
make a conscious decision to date white women because so many Black women were
raped at the hands of white men, and he is seeking some sort of karmic
revenge. The conscious decision to sleep
with, date, and marry white women is made because Black men think white women
are better.
First of all, most of the brothas that are dating/fucking
white women couldn’t tell you two historical facts about slavery in a ten
minute period. Somehow, some deluded
dude came up with the idea and it spread like wildfire in order to justify
their actions and not call it out for what it is, self-hatred. I have never met a brother who was so proud
of his Black heritage and culture that he decided to seek his own brand of
reparations from society and have his way sexually with the white woman to make
up for the years of degradation that Black women have suffered. And even if I did, he’d be tragically
misguided in his efforts because sleeping with white women doesn’t do a damn
thing to white men other than fuel their fantasies and reinforce that Black men
are sexual savages.
The NEED to date white women, because they are more
supportive/more submissive/ more attractive has to do with subconscious brain
washing. Brainwashing subjected to us by
our forefathers. Tell me of one set of
grandparents that didn’t fear their grandchild going out in the sun because
they might get too black. The thought processes of the plantation are not that
far removed from our consciousness.
During slavery, light skinned women were allowed the luxury to be in the
house, thus, as a Black man, to get one meant you might have some special
privileges. White women were even more
privileged. Those were the reinforcements that our grandparents were taught by
their grandparents. Just because we have
stopped delving into the origins of our sickness, does not mean the disease is
not rampant.
Black men date white women because all of their lives they
are told that light "skinded"
women are the most beautiful.
Stands to reason if light women are the prettiest Black women, white
women would be even more beautiful still.
Think about it, they don't have to spend money to get their hair
straight. They can give him children
that are light with good hair and pretty eyes, thus less black. And we all know that deep down, these black
men believe that Black is ugly. Show me
the man that says, “I want my child to have short, wooly hair, a wide nose,
thick lips and blacker than coal skin.”
Those things are not revered in our society. I'm not saying a man with that consciousness
does not exist, I'm saying that in this society, the Black man (and woman) is
taught to love everything opposite of that.
Raise a child with images of white women as the standard of
beauty, and what do you expect him to gravitate to. If you look in the mirror and hate your
blackness, you are going to do whatever it takes to remove yourself from
it. Once he gets the white woman, and
finds that she's docile and doesn't expect anything from him other than his
sexual stud service, that she that she has no expectations for him other than
to sex her up, you have the recipe that makes for Black men choosing white
women en masse.

Not much to say, except, "Amen."
The black woman rocks....Thank you for sharing this wonderful post.
This is the absolute truth. Self hatred is the worst kind of mental disease one can have. Especially in our community.
