Progressive. And revolutionary. With that said my husband is a white man. I cringe when 'sistahs' act as if I hit the jackpot. Or women in interracial relationships take to brother bashing. I love and respect black men. Have been treated nothing but very well by them. Think that are the best thing that the Lord ever created. However, I just so happened to fall in love with a white man. The issue, is when black men state that the do not date women of color. Your mother is a woman of color. Your sisters and aunts. We, black women come in every hue and shape under the sun. How could you not be physically attracted to us. And the tired old generalizations that we all act one way is ridiculous. We are a wide range. We are a spectrum. We have more than one story. As from black women , it is a numbers game, and the odds are clearly against us. We simply outnumber eligible black men. Whatever your idea of eligible may be. I would ever bash black men, I will however say that they ave an advantage and they make good use of it. It really is simply supply and demand. </p>SjsmithmoveTue, 10 Apr 2012 03:40:54 -0000
