To my fellow BP members a friend passed this on to me and I think
everyone should read this. And if anyone has a problem please let
me know and I will have no problem discussing this like an adult!
PLEASE READ!!!!! White Woman's Opinion of Black Women 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. Disgusted
White Girl, Somewhere in VA. 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 scrip, there are numerous
white men, in and out of the spot light, 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 bemisinformed. 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! Thank you

person who loves to have fun. So all the qiuet, uptight people

boxing. I love music and my passion and fuure profession is in the
