I say the thing about attacking me because I am a woman because you came after me for a dap (not a post) and over looked the man who made it. I made one post in this thread quoting a man. Y'all had plenty of time to address what he said, but it is only a big deal because I agreed to it. That is bs and you know it. Before everyone started quoting and mentioning me for a 3 word post, I had one post on 3 page out of a four page thread; however some fool told me that I had been making angry post all throughout the thread. BS
I have a hard time believing that for quite a few posters it is not about a white woman finding black men attractive because there have been enough thread where black men have made pathetic comments such as "I bet she doesn't even like black men ". This is a part of a whole theme of this board and the exact same thing that Marcuz critiques women of LSA for.
To the last paragraph, that may very well the reason for you, but you will not convince me that many men in this board do not have an inferiority complex. It's so obvious.
Also the person who made the post that I agreed with was Captain Crunch not Mungu
The more I've been thinking about what you say, the less sense it makes.
To simplify this, I'm going to continually divide the reasons both "alpha males" and "beta males" might dap Diddy/Upton
Eurocentrism: A beta male who is Eurocentric would love Upton because of her white skin and European features. In fact, if given a choice between a black female and a white female, he will pick the white one, even if the black one is better-looking.
An alpha male is not Eurocentric. An alpha male enjoys all the different races of women, focusing on the most attractive of each race.
Cultural hegemony: A beta male who falls prey to this might look at his white counterparts and measure success through pulling a white chick. ("I got a white girl! Oh shyt, I finally made it.") Assimilation is pretty much integral to this.
If you really think about it though, white culture has been opposed to black men and white women since forever. An alpha male really doesn't give a fukk and will get with females they find attractive, regardless of race. They don't buy into the hegemonic standards.
At the same time, it is enjoyable to deride, ridicule, and upset the racist and ignorant. When a black man gets with a white woman who has been put on a pedestal due to Eurocentrism, it irks white racists to see what they perceive as their ideal chick being tainted. It's entertaining to watch them squirm.
If we can't enjoy or cause the suffering of the ignorant and hateful, I didn't get the memo.
