[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny listening to all these white women talk about how incarceration or criminal records are deal-breakers for them. Funny, and sad at the same time, because of the implied, subtle racism of the posts. Reinforced by the pic of the light skinned blue-eyed brother from page 3....

Do you have any idea how hard it is for WOC to find a man who doesn't have a background? 1 in 8 black men have records, mostly due to systemic racism in the police and criminal justice system. Do you think we can afford to be that picky?

And to make matters worse, our best and brightest prospects end up dating or marrying white women much of the time. And there's not really a bunch of white men knocking down the door to date black women.

And then you ask each other "why don't you have black friends?"

Shaking my head in disbelief......

Black woman here. It's not that hard. In my circle,   all black female friends with black husbands, none of the men have records and all of them are degreed and successful professionals.

Racism is a problem, but so is older generations of black women ( and men) continuing the myth that it's next to impossible for black women to get a black man unless she drops her standards to the bottom.   That is downright dangerous.[/quote]
