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?

Tell her that's a petty/fukked up reason to do that. What if the white dude just uses her for a fantasy and she's stuck with the kids created by the man she hates? I know she's not going to think "well at least they got good hair :manny:".

She needs to hear the truth. She might hate you for it but it will sit in the back of her mind and she just may remember what you tell her at the right time.

Black women have beautiful hair.
Maybe she needs more education on how to style it so that doing it up is easier, or so that she learns better styles that look good on her. Things like that, I imagine.

The black women of the site can advise better.

tell her stupid ass that no matter who she breeds with her ass will still be black.

living vicariously through her children isn't healthy. and she will still die dark skinned.

she should use this time on the planet to grow some pride and love who she is. she'll only live once.
Good post.
But I still laughed so hard! Hahaha
