My younger cousin is very dark-skinned with kinky hair (which she presses).
Recently, she told me that she wants to marry a white guy--or at least have kids with a white guy--so that her children (especially her daughters) will be light-skinned and have good hair. She tried to justify her statement by saying that many, if not, most black men prefer redbones with "good hair" anyways. So, at the end of the day, she's ultimately producing what a lot of black men desire.
I'm really distressed by her comment. What should I tell her the next time I see her? When she said this to me, I was speechless and had no words.
I want to comfort her, but I don't want to lie to her either.
Gentlemen, what do you advise?
