I had to pause right here, before I continue.
Dude, I have ZERO problem with interracial marriage. Until someone shows me otherwise; I don't understand how that, all on it's own, negatively effects black women.
Bruh, we on the same page with that. Black people marrying interracial isn't even close to even with black/black marriages.
No shots; but, stop bringing up IR. I'm not even talking about that. Again, forgive me for being unclear.
Bruh, not everyone who goes to war come back home with post traumatic stress disorder. But, PSTD is very real.
The bolded is a pretty dense outlook on life. I don't know how old you are, but; as life goes on, I realize ppl have very little control what happens to them, in this life.
Bruh, this is a complex issue you & I are trying to simplify.
Black woman don't just have people rejecting them because of their skin tone & their natural hair texture.
They're pressured to marry us and only us (as we've agreed, it's kinda working); a huge amount of black men have image (not just visually; the whole issue) issues when it comes to black women.
It's not as simple as the amount of light skin women you've dated. I'm sure if I polled one random black dude from each state in the US, a majority of them would have a problem with their woman walkin' in the crib like this:
Why, her hair's long (another Euro-centric beauty standard--if we want to admit it or not)? Because they
"can't run their fingers through it."
Where in the world did we even get that value from? From the same place that told black women they have to wear their hair like this to be beautiful (A big part of acceptance, in this society, unfortunately--especially for women [of all races]):
But, we tell black women they gotta "stay home," but; what's a home, when they are gonna be judged for everything from their natural hair texture to their skin tone to a stereotypical notion they aren't meek enough?
This is the number one reason I say it's our faults: No, we aren't the biggest factors in the expectation of black women to marry/date/fornicate with black men, exclusively (all social groups do that).
But, we have this position that they are a problem not because they aren't our type, aren't the same religion as we are, have goals that are atleast parallel to ours...
...it's because they "waste money on weave," "have too many kids," "welfare," "too aggressive," "wanna bring the black man down for the white man," "go to church too much," "aren't 'nasty' enough' sexually" etc.
We come at black women over racial issues and our own vanity and egos.
If it ain't you, me, your brother, my cousin, your best friend, my uncle, your grandfather, it's a couple million of other men who hold that idea and it effects black women, because they want (as we both agree) to be with black men.
Again, this is a complex issue that's not gonna be settled on thecoli. But, if we agree to disagree (cool), but; I just hope you think, a bit, outside of your social circle.
