It seems that an article was written to Sister 2 Sister magazine
by a Caucasian woman who requested a response from black men. I’m so glad she
got what she asked for (and more) !!!

Dear Jamie:
I’m sorry but I would like to challenge some of your Black male
readers.

I am a White female who is engaged to a Black male-good-looking,
educated and loving. I just don’t understand a lot of Black females attitudes
about our   relationship.

My man decided he wanted me because the pickings amongst Black women were slim
to none. As he said they were either too fat, too loud, too
mean, too argumentative, too needy, too materialistic or carrying too much
excess baggage.

Before I became engaged, whenever I went out I was constantly approached by
Black men, willing to wine and dine me and give me the world. If
Black women are so up in arms about us being with thei r men, why don’t they
look at  themselves and make some changes.

I am tired of the dirty looks I get and snide remarks when we’re
out in public. I would like to hear from some Black men about why we
are so appealing and coveted by them.

Bryant Gumbel left his wife of 26 years for one of us. Charles
Barkley, Scottie Pippen, the model Tyson Beckford, Montell Williams, Quincy
Jones, James Earl  Jones, Harry Belafonte, Sydney Poitier, Kofi Anan, Cuba Gooding
Jr., Don Cornelius, Berry Gordy, Billy Blanks, Larry Fishburne, Wesley Snipes…

I could go on and on. But, right now, I’m a little angry and
that is why I wrote this so hurriedly . Don’t be mad with us White women
because so many of your men want us. Get your acts together and learn from
us and we may lead you to treat your men better. If I’m wrong, Black men, let
me know.

Disgusted White Girl, Somewhere in VA


RESPONSE

Dear Jamie:
I would like to respond to the letter written by A Disgusted
White Girl..

Let me start by saying that I am a 28-year old black man. I
graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in Atlanta , Georgi a with
a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. I have a good job at a major
corporation and have recently purchased a house. So, I consider myself to be
among the ranks of successful black men.

I will not use my precious time to slander white people. I just
want to set the record straight of why black men date white women. Back in the
day, one of the biggest reasons why black men dated white women was because
they were considered easy.

The black girls in my neighborhood were raised in the church.
They were very strict about when they lost their virginity and who they lost it
to. Because of  our im patience to wait, brothers would look for someone who
would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to the white
girls.

Nowadays, in my opinion, a lot of brothers date white women
because they are docile and easy to control. A lot of black men, because of
insecurities, fears, and overall weaknesses, have be come
intimidated by the strength of our black women. We are afraid that our woman will
be more successful than us, make more money than us, drive nicer cars
and own bigger houses. Because of this fear, many black men look for a more
docile woman.     Someone we can control.

I have talked to numerous black men and they continuously
comment on how easy it is to control and walk over their white women. I
just want to set the record straight. I want A Disgusted White
Girl to know that not all successful black men date white women.

Brothers like Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan,
Morris Chestnut, Will Smith, Blair Underwood, Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds , Samuel
L.  Jackson, and Chris Rock, and more importantly President Barack Obama all married strong black women And, to
flip the script, there are numerous white men, in and out of the spot light, who
openly or secretly desire black women over white women. Ted
Danson, Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie and Robert Thick, to na
me a few.

I just don’t want a disgusted white girl to be misinformed Stop
thinking that because you are white that you are some type of goddess.

Remember, when black Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and
Nitorcris were ruling Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt, you were over in the caves
of Europe   eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs.
Read your history!

It was t he black woman that taught you how to cook and season
your food.    It was the black woman that taught you how to raise your children.
It was black women who were breast feeding and raising your babies during
slavery.

It is the black woman that had to endure watching their fathers,
husbands, and children beaten, killed, and thrown in jail. Black women
were born with two strikes against them: being black and being a
woman. And, through all this, Still They Rise!

It is because of the black women’s strength, elegance, power,
love and beauty that I could never date anyone except my black Queen. It
is not just the outer beauty that captivates and draws me to them. It is not the
fact that they come in all shapes, sizes, colors and shades that I love them.

Their inner beauty is what I find most appealing about black
women…  Their strong spirit, loving and nurturing souls, their integrity,
their ability to overcome great obstacles, their willingness to stand for what
they believe in,  and their determination to succeed and reach their
highest potential while enduring great pain and suffering is why
I have fallen  in love with black women. BR>

I honestly believe that your anger is geared more toward
jealousy and envy more so than snotty looks. If this were not so, then why do you
continuously go to  tanning salons to darken your skin? If you are so proud to be
white, then why don’t you just be happy with your pale skin? Why do you continue
to inject your lips, hips, and breasts with unnatural and dangerous
substances so you can look fuller and more voluptuous?

I think that your anger is really a result of you wanting to
have what the black woman has.

BOTTOM LINE: If I were looking for a docile woman, someone I can
walk over and control, I would give you a call. But, unfortunately, I am
looking for a Virtuous Woman. Someone that can be a good wife
and mother to my children. Someone who can be my best friend and understands my
struggles. I am looking for a soul mate. I am looking for a sister and;
unfortunately, you do not and CANNOT fit the bill.

No offense taken, none given.

Signed, Black Royalty

read it.

Well damn. Snap snap.

The only thing I don’t like about these types of debates are the generalizations and such. Just because a woman is Black doesn’t mean she’ll have the listed features, and just because she’s White doesn’t mean she won’t. However I do agree that many Black men “go White” because White women tend be more “That’s fine sweety do whatever you like,” where as Black women are like “MUHFUHKA HELL NO! IT’S 3 IN THE MORNING WHERE YOU GOIN?!”

And..you know..all that good stuff. Anywho..you should all read this. Tis good.

 Nicely said…Im all for interacial dating but when one race thinks they’ve got something better than the other is what gets on my nerves…your race doesn’t make you better than any other woman out there
