The point of this thread is very true. The angry reaction to it by some of the posters who have a record of having issues with Black women
@Killer Instinct @Poitier , is telling.
I think that no matter how much you point out the hypocrisy you won't be able to shame these type of Black men into putting Black women and our features on a pedestal though. At the end of the day, as long as Black women's dating patterns remain the same, what reason do Black men have to take a hard look at their "preferences", even in talk only? Effectively these Black men, yes even those who rank mixed/non-Black women above Black women with the same features, can always have Black women as a fall back plan if they strike out with the ones they truly idealize more. So if they can very effectively have their cake and eat it too because Black women have pretty clearly stated they aren't going anywhere, this just is what it is
