Interacial Relationships. Why people do it.

[PEP Guy]

There's always a reason behind every decision. There also a reason behind interacial relationships. See, the white woman can sometimes be utilized as a vacation from the black race. In simple terms, she is a break; a chance to forget everyday life, unwind, relax, explore, and recharge. How does a white woman provide all this? Easy, but let's furst follow a day in the lif of most black couples.

See, this relationship is pretty straightforward; it might even be yours. More than likely you both live in a predominantly black neighborhood. You wake up in the morning to the same or similar stimuli. The local news tells you about a young brotha who did some dumb shit. You check the weather and leave home only to find and empty forty-ounce bottle -on the curb in front of your house -accompanied by a half-eaten box of fried chicken wings and pork fried rice...etc. you know, the same old shit.

See, dating a white woman will provide a similar escape and ease from discomfort for some black men. It will not eliminate discomfort, just shit it in another area that is not as burdensome. Dating white women will bring him around more whites, so rather than being black, he begins to focus on being the only black. His conflict is not that he is black, but that he is with a white woman -a stigma he is in control of, and can rememdy. He cannot change his complexion but he can easily change his association. There is newfound power because the focus is on not his race but the race he is running with. This is the beginning of the escape that evolves into a more intimate journey. See, the fuel of this journey is constant criticism, a price paid when one sexually jumps race.

I asked a question why sistahs have an attitude, and nobody would answer my question. I know the aswer to my own question. See, generally with a black woman there is not much difference in upbringing. Some, but not much. Even if you're Caribbean and she is a black American, your experiences are quite similar, especially if you both grew up in the United States. You eat rice and peas, she eats peas and rice; you eat collard greens, she eats callaloo; you eat jerk chicken, she eats fried chicken. Silly little things may distinguish you, but overall there is a connective racial bond that black people have with one another that is very intuitive -our differences are glaring when we fail to use that intuition. See, image along with attitude, termperament, and status, designs desirability. If the black woman has the one without the other, her desirability is disqualified. All must be present and real in the black woman, but mere perception of these attributes is all the white woman needs. While the black woman must possess these traits, the white woman needs only the illusion of it. If the black man has any one or all of these qualities, he feels more accomplished sharing it with someone of similar worth, and some black men may perceive more value in an illusion rather than reality, opting for farce over fact.

This is the phenomenon that most concerns black women, wherein a successful black male chooses an "ordinary" white woman over a black woman of stature. This point is obvious in the movie Guess who's coming to dinner. Sidney Poitier's character was seeking approval from the parents of a twenty-three year old white girl. By all accounts, there was nothing much to this girl except that she was white. She held no job, and had just recently completed her formal education. Potier's character, however, was a medical doctor and college professor, in his mid-thirties, who had travelled the world. What could have possibly stimulated such a man to seek the permanent company of a twenty-three-year-old child? She was farce for fact, she had no money of her own, but she had the appearance of wealth; no real status, but her complexion dwarfed that. At the time this film was made, there was no healthy appetite for interacial romance. So in order to make this movie more palatable, the most clean-cut black actor -and not an American -was used, while his character was to the highest order -a doctor. His age was also important because a younger man would have represented more of a sexual threat. But a man in his thirties represented declining virility. See, white women won't fuck with a black man if he's not successful, and what I was saying earlier is why sistahs have bad attitudes and why they get mad when they see a white woman with a black man. See, there's always a reason why brothas date white women.
