I often times catch myself wondering about the fate of black relationships. Bear with me for a second…I mean this won’t be a mad black woman rant, just a train of thought. Why is it that black men are so often not attracted to black women? I’ve seen tons of my friends deal with this or the ever- dreaded cheating with the white girl once they’ve secured (or so they thought) the beautiful chocolate man. I just don’t understand it. Are black women simply not good enough for black men anymore? I mean there is nothing wrong with the white woman, but why count out the black women? This is a riddle that I have never been able to wrap my mind around.
Better question- why are black women so set on finding a good black man? There are so many gorgeous men of other ethnicities out there! I just don’t see the point in settling on one someone (or dare I say racial group) when looking for love- think of how many opportunities that you’d be missing out on to find true love! Black men are gorgeous in their own right, but should we as black women deny our beauty by demeaning ourselves to impress these men who obviously only want us on their own terms if at all. The answer is NO! Now, this doesn’t go for all black men- only the majority that I have observed in my geographical area. I guess what I’m really trying to say is that any effort to chase after someone of any color who is ignorant enough to base any decision solely on another person’s ethnicity is so futile. There is somebody out there for everybody and I would hate to see anyone miss out on their somebody due to the silly confines of race. Everyone has some quality of beauty and I would just like for those beautiful qualities to be admired. It’s taken me some time to realize all of this so I understand if you don’t quite see eye to eye with me….yet.
But since I still have your attention, back to the black men out there: OPEN YOUR MINDS! And as for everyone else: DO THE SAME! Never count anyone out just because of their race. We have all come too far morally to adhere to such silly restrictions.
