Yea, old topic, I know. But....apart from deeper reasons, do black women find white guys physically unattractive? Seems many black women would rather be alone than be with a white guy.undefined
Back to the original topic before it got sideswiped by some black guy espousing foreign women over american black women **rolls eyes** (I'm sure that was no big loss)...
I think some white men are very attractive. Am I open to dating them? Sure. The traits I would want in a white guy are the same traits I would want in a black guy, but he must also demonstrate a keen knowledge, respect, and compassion of black ethics (ethos), black culture, black politics, and black socialism - akin to the lines of Tim Wise. None of that 'I'm married to a black women and don't see color' utopian bullcrap. You do see color, you will see color, and you understand and acknowledge how color, race, and race privilege plays a role in my life and his - but it won't hinder the love we have for each other. Had the pleasure of conversing with several like-minded white guys on facebook, and elsewhere, but rarely have I met such in real life or my neck of the woods. I'm not currently dating, but I know that when I do, my options are open.
White men represent a lot of negative stuff in general (white power, privilege, racism, slave masters, sexist, etc) - and black women have been in charge of carrying (breeding, teaching, training, and raising) the black family for generations - so may see dating and marrying a white men as a let down to the black family. But there are
individual white men (and women) who acknowledge and denounce the racist and sexist ideology that their white brethren have done, said, or continue to promote. They are fully aware and are 'conscious' white men and women. I didn't even think that was possible since it seems like they are denouncing their own people - but these are white people that value 'truth' over and above eurocentrism and ethnocentrism - and that's the type and kind of 'pink skin' I wouldn't mind getting down and dirty with.
There is no disrespect of rejection of my black brothas. Still love them, still adore them regardless.
If I choose to be single, it won't be because I choose to be single instead of being with a white man. It will be because I didn't catch
any man who struck my fancy at that time.
