[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is sick a sticky ball of wax to unravel and the answer depends on who are you talking to. I am a black woman, married to a black man. My BIL is engaged to a white woman. I am happy for my BIL because he found love, but I am completely honest about the fact that I wish he had found it with a black woman.

Educated black women have a really hard time finding males of any color to settle down with and when even our won don't choose us, it stings. Black women are often considered the least beautiful by men of all races. The standard of beauty in this country does not place us at the top of the heap. In particular black women with darker skin and kinky hair.

Do I resent the white women "taking" black men? It isn't a clear yes or no. It is less about resenting the white woman and more about my heart breaking for all the black women I know who are single and cannot find a partner of any race. [/quote]

Is is important that BW teach our girls that any man can and will love you. [/quote]
Black women already know that. What black women need to learn is that [i]we[/i] can love any race of man. So many of us have had it drilled into our heads by wary black mothers and territorial black men that to love a non-black man makes a black woman the worst kind of race traitor, while black men can chase non-black women to “get back” at the world that emasculates black men. It is time for black women to move beyond racist indoctrination and stop acting as if non-black, esp white, men are less than human.[/quote]

I posted that and i agree with you totally.[/quote]
