First, IR is bad for the black community. Women are not men and cannot do what men can do.
Second, black men don't draw their confidence from black women. Many black men don't even date black women and so don't care about black women. They are still confident so evidently black men don't depend on black women for their confidence. The reason black men agitate for black women is patriarchy-related and racial reasons, not "confidence". The same is true of Arab men, for example.
I am from the Carribean, lived there for 2 years and there are no prominent Asian male-black female couples there. Asians make up a very, very small percentage of the Carribean. The ones whom exist are more likely to stick to themselve.
