I am an Carib-african-american women of multiple ethnicities (including Irish). Although I don't consider myself a racist, I have been called one on several occassions simply because I ask the question: Why are white women constantly going after black men? I only ask this because I see it often & don't mean it to be a sterotype. And then, when I pose the question, I am labeled "ignorant", "stupid", "racist", "angry", and "jealous". Yet, a white woman can talk about it all day long and no one says BOO!
Many times I have posted the question in forums only to get an answer like "because they are better in bed" or some other asinine answer which only perpetuates the sterotype that white women go after black men for sexual reasons. Recently, I started a forum on another site asking the question and white men & white women alike came after me with burning "cyber" crosses hollering racism. I was even told that if I was classier, more educated, and more beautiful, I could keep my black man. Frankly, I have never lost a black man to a white woman nor have any of my black friends (that I know of) and I find it sad that when we ask a question about the issue, we are taunted and shunned. Yet, I read discussions such as these and realize that racism does exist and mostly its in the families of these women or their friends.
You can't have it both ways. You can't claim that you love black men and then run around calling his counterpart racist and less than a white woman. What does that say about your black man's mother, sister, aunt, etc.?
Why are black women always the ones in the wrong when it comes to asking the obvious question when it comes to inter-racial relationships? Why are black women always reduced to being jealous, ignorant, or less than a white woman because we want to know why they are so interested in our men? And I use the term "our" for lack of a better word...not for possession reasons.
