Man casually wears white women as scarfs...

“This art project is a parody of people (black men in particular) treating white women like status symbols. A white woman isn’t a trophy; she’s a person. White women (and women of color with “whiter” features, like straight hair, thin noses, etc..)ARE the beauty standard in most parts of the world, and that’s why a lot of non-white men are kinda obsessed with dating/marrying white women just for the sake of dating/marrying a white woman.

“Marrying/having a relationship with a white woman seems to be something many successful black men do immediately upon gaining success (Kanye and Kim Kardashian, A$ap Rocky and Iggy Azalea etc..) and they do it for a number of reasons: because white women are the beauty standard, because of internalized racism, because they want children with lighter skin than their own so that their children don’t have to go through as much discrimination as their black parent. That’s what this art piece is criticizing.”

Ok? And what happened with that?

Two certainly does equal a drove.

Actually there were bedwenching in the 90s. Every movie was about some abusive nikka or how nikkas aint shyt. Black feminist was around in the 90s. Independant woman movement, and I can go on and on.. and they were saying that "Imma get me a white man" shyt in the 90s before nikkas was really on that wave. I even remember an episode of Fresh Prince where the aunty was saying that shyt. So yea...

Talking about bad relationships in movies and songs is not bed wenching. That's what women do. Independent women movement and feminism is not bed wenching.

I don't recall there being a "Imma get me a white man" shyt. Never ever saw it.


And there was a interracial relationship with an aunt on fresh prince and Tommy dated a white girl on Martin? Ok?

No, it's saying I'm black and feel ugly, and being able to objectify white women makes me feel respected and like a man that I'm worthy of their love and attention.
Even if deep down inside I know these are the white women the white man doesn't want and I will never have the pride of the community white women I seek, I can settle for these subpar throwaways and hope no one notices.

....it's sad to watch these dudes, worship "massa's" scraps.

This myth needs to end. The majority of black men marry black women. If you don't see this amongst successful black couples in reality, you're not associating with any successful African Americans, or you need to turn off MTV. There are countless of successful black couples, yet for some reason insecure morons continue to focus on the ones who opt to marry inter-racially. The insecurity is disgusting.
