True. Some people here want to make Black AA Woman as some sort of saint who stick up with their men. Reality is no other group of men pays attention to Black women. Brad, Enrique, Mohamed, Wang ain't rushing to marry Shaniqua from the hood.
Black Women have no choice but to date Black Men because they have no other option. Best believe if Shaniqua has the same appeal as Ling Ling she wouldn't even look at Jamaal's direction.
Let's break this down
Shaniqua from the hood= uneducated, or little education, lives in a poor area, works a low-paying job, maybe skinny or overweight. lives in the hood, only black men available, but they are also incarcerated often.
Shaniqua is only around black men, so dates them. She may also feel that black men only understand her. If Shaniqua is more open-minded in dating, she can definitely date someone of another race.
Educated black women= educated, makes good money, lives in a nice area. socializes with men of different races but still would like to marry a black man. however, there aren't a lot of black men at her level. The few there want to date white women as they see that as the true sign of success.
if the educated black woman decides to date outside of her race she wouldn't have a problem. Black women are now realizing that there isn't any benefit in being loyal to black men and you see more of them dating other men.
People love to blame black women for everything but they should blame black men, who once they get successful they got a white girlfriend, who hate and slander black women when they themselves were birthed by one, and who slander black women who date outside of their race.
Most black men have some self-hate issues and they need a lot of therapy. You will never see another man hate their own women the way black men hate black women.
