@bolded: They do and do take offense to it. However, nowadays, I don't see the dividing line being polar opposites than black or white. There are just gradations. However I do see an all out attack on the image and persona of Black women by the media, but that has been going on for many years.
For example: Michelle Obama... What kinds of images does it evoke or conjure up in regards to her, without references to her comments?
As far as upset with Brothers dating other races. I don't think the ACT of doing it is what pisses Sistahs off. It is the brazenness of the attitude towards dating that pisses us off. Many bruhs have all kind of creative lines they run past women, generally. SOME bruhs use ethnic group specific attributes as standards of beauty blatantly in front of several sistahs or put down sistahs ethnic group specific attributes to state why they are ugly...
I got told by one bruh that my hair was too long and nappy and that I needed to get a relaxer for him to speak to me... He stated it publicly to belittle me. And I was not even thinking about him or attracted to him!!! So, why did he go there? That was close to 20 years ago and it still hurts. Because, I am no where near the kind of description he described.
