In need of assistance.
Ok, I call BS. Besides quoting some c00n rappers and actors that most BM take with a grain of salt, where has there been a narrative of the media and BM pushing the meme BW are not attractive? With all the Black women on the cover of major magazines? Even with dark skin and natural hair? Where is the narrative where Black men are saying fukk Beyonce, Gabrielle Union, etc. I need me some Margot Robbie?
Though of course there is BM/WW IR in entertainment show me the cult phenomenon like Scandal revolving around a BM/WW high power relationship. How many Black Men buy books on how to snag a White chick or hold interviews on the topic? Most BM interviewed on their IR are automatically in defensive mode versus these interviews some BW have talking about feeling empowered.
I have nothing against IR and think it is healthy for society in most respects (unless done for self-hatred) but if you want to do it, just do what makes you happy, don't drag BMs through the mud to justify your life choices.
I see the narrative and am sensitive to it because I'm a black woman. If you don't see it then sorry. Idk what to tell you.
I will say there has been more diversity and black girl love being showed but thats because black women are becoming more vocal about certain things. If we go back to shutting up, we'll go back to being shut out as well.
I have nothing against IR either. People need to learn to mind their own business when its a relationship between adults.
