Honestly it’s not really a good look. Most people of all groups have more preference toward their own. Its natural. I suppose it makes more of a case why the author tells bw not to show a dominant exclusivity/preference toward bm, when bm
aren’t doing the same.
He’s telling bw to be as equal opportunity as y’all are. And if y’all see bw the same as y’all do other women, there’s not much of a case for why bw should show that preference to you.
Now, I’m not one to mince my words. I do think it’s a weakness for Brehs to see other races the same as your own, especially when those others actually rate you low. Like y’all are just as unliked as brehettes to those others.
Honestly, I really don't like the idea of a thinkpiece like this being posted on a news site. It just seems like it's asking for trouble.
Outside of that, I don't really care anymore. Growing up, none of us were so called "race loyal". We tried to fukk with every type of girl that we could. From our teens to adulthood. I've been in enough BM spaces/circles to know that most brehs were never preaching race loyalty. Most of them definitely weren't on that SYSBM, "anything but a BW" fukk shyt. It was more of a "I fukk with the women that fukks with me. Black, Asian, Latina, White, whatever" mentality.
I don't vibe with the "white is right" point of view on both ends. I also won't pretend this is a one way street like some either.
All my life, BW have been the most loving women to me. This is why I've never felt comfortable going in on them like a lot of brehs do. I understand that not everyone can say they've had the same experience. I understand that your environment plays a huge role in how you see things. I also understand that some hard truths have to be touched upon when having a discussion.
Now having said that, seeing nikkas tell our own counterparts that they
aren't wanted will never not be some weirdo shyt. I don't care what the topic of discussion is.
I've had white people (that I knew) ask me about this. White girl asking me why are BM "always talking shyt about BW" when trying to talk to them. Or how they're always hearing BM declare how they don't fukk with BW. That shyt is deadass embarrassing because I usually didn't know how to answer.
Whenever you see a Cac or another race going back and forth with a BW, what's the insult that they know will often cut deep?
"Your own men don't even want you".
Most people believe something like that comes out of nowhere. It actually comes from them hearing BM say this. Most of us have seen this as well. It's no surprise that other communities see the same shyt and assimilate it into their talking points. Simple to understand.
Between the mentally ill BW that have podcasts saying BM are worthless, as well as the effeminate BM that be having 5-6 hr lives talking about BW's hair, it makes you realize how far gone a lot of Black People are. It's sad...but not worth thinking about.
Some people can have a balanced perspective when speaking on these things as a whole, while many will choose to play the obtuse role instead. Like that OKCupid study you posted. nikkas will focus on the fact that the BW were rated low all while ignoring everything else the study showed.
In the end, both BM and BW need to do what's best for them. If you don't believe your own counterpart is worthy of forming a lifetime commitment with, then those are issues you have to deal with. If you just so happen to find someone that checks all the boxes that happens to be a non black, man or woman, then that's perfectly fine.
