PSA: We're not angry anymore!


At least I am not! There is this ongoing media fueled notion that every time a black man and a white woman cross the paths of a sistah they must fear for their lives. Or worse that the black woman will go on some type of tyrade on how he should be ashamed and SHE "aint nothing but a gold digging white hussy tryna 'steal our men'!" Sound familiar? Well hate to break the news but, for the most part black women....really don't care. I know, I know, a SHOCKER, especially since the way we're portrayed in the media indicates otherwise.

In real life, real life black women have more to worry about or care about than SOMEBODY else's relationship. And even if the skin color of brother man's girl may be fair, it is quite and unfair judgement to assume that because he found love with another race he somehow hates his own. This may be the case sometimes, but in others it simply ISN'T. My younger brother had a hot and heavy thing with a white girl in high school, and a couple of other white girlfriends and still thinks that myself and my mother and my sister are the most beautiful things in the world. Making sweeping generalizations about a person's character because of their choice in mate, or something as shallow as skin color is a recipe for disaster. I hear sisters go on and on about how the "black man" is "choosing" other races of women outside of their own. And as someone who completely endorses and supports black love I definitely feel there is a complex with a man of any race who USES WOMEN as a status symbol or just an exercising of his right to all 32 flavors. But I am definitely more of a fan of LOVE than a person who is particular about what shade it comes in.

Real love, is a beautiful thing. And if I, my sister, my aunt or the random sistah on the street were to choose to date outside of there "race", I'd be totally supportive and understanding. Same goes to any brother. As long as intentions are pure and love is true. Nothing should be a hindrance to a man or woman finding love. Color notwithstanding!!!!

And random brother on the street I have yet to meet and your non-black wife or girlfriend, this is one black woman you can rest assured will smile and your direction and keep moving in my own.
