No one want to admit the truth but yes. If you think the mentality behind pop the balloon is only a recent bias for black women I question if you are even black at all and was around black women from jr. High on up.
People gonna gaslight but, it's truth.
1. A lot of black people don't come from stable homes so they don't see what a good partner should look like. And by the time they do understand, they're 30 and 40 years old. By that point, both genders are bitter and jaded towards the other sex for the years they were being played.
2. Our community does not shame being unmarried and having multiple out-of-wedlock kids like other communities do.
3. Internalized hatred. BM will seek out non-BW or mixed BW and vice versa with BW dating non-BM when they wouldn't give a monorace BM or BW with the same looks and personality a chance.
Honestly though, it's Sunday. Football is on and we have beat this conversation to death.
