White women's opinion of black women & a brother's response.
>>
>>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 female's
>>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 their 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 just 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.

>>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, Georgia 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 impatience 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 become 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 all married strong black women And, to
>>flip the script, there are numerous white men, in and out of the
>>spotlight,
>>who openly or secretly desire black women over white women. Ted Danson,
>>Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie to name 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 the 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.
>>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
>>
>>Wow!! We must pass this on to make the day of the Black Queens of our
>>acquaintances!
