I'm not worried about it, but I'm curious to know why? Sounds like some very insecure men to me.
Sorry for misunderstanding you. |
what lovehaiku84 was saying is that SOME (not all) black men THINK that white women are better. She was saying you can't specifically ask her the reason WHY because she's not a BLACK MALE that THINKS like that. (DISCLAIMER: of course we know that ALL women are created equal). However, we as black intellectualls can possibly give reasons to WHY black men think this way.
(and this is why they may have said you need a history lesson) in the past white women were seen as a "prize" by their fathers, their communties and their culture. Black men could have been lynched for just looking at a white woman the wrong way. That being said, some black men see this "prize" as something that was once unattainable that can be obtained now.
other black males might think dating white women gives them more of a "status" in a "white business world"
and yet others think their babies will look better because they will be lighter with "better quality hair"
These are only my assumptions, but if you really want more information i'm sure there are PLENTY of scholary journals on this topic on end.
