Beneath

Everyone has a  dating preference. And I'm all for interracial relationships, because I  firmly believe real and profound isn't about the color of one's skin. True untamed love, is about all the immensity underneath the skin, wherein the soul lies. In fact, If it wasn't  for my African American mother  taking an interest in my Hispanic father, I would not be here. So in my opinion, the blurring the "racial purity" lines, as some bigots call it, is a beautiful. There is nothing more wonderful  then the blending of cultures  to create one fully equipped, sound minded being. That being said, I read an article today. This article blew my mind to say the least. It was  about a black man's response to a white woman's  reasoning. Not just any reasoning either,  interestingly enough this woman  gave her honest to God belief as to why the african american man's  romantic interest leans more towards the white woman now more than ever. I have to say, I was blantantly offended. She made the argument that african american men prefer  white women  because black women are too angry,agressive and come with too much emotional baggage. And just as i was fit to burst with indignation and fury, this black man came to my rescue, as well as EVERY black women's rescue when he told his truth. His truth was eye opening a little objectifying but honest nonetheless.  He went on to state that black men go for white women  simply because they are more "docile." They are simpler, in the sense that placating them would be second nature. He also went on to say, that throughout the black man's history  white women were usually given sexual attention when the black women who chose to stay head strong put his hormones on ice. Now don't get me wrong, I found it a type of deplorable that his truth implied the USING of any woman as a consolation prize. We as WOMEN are not PLAYTHINGS  to be picked up and placed down at a mans choosing.  However, my other WE, the one that implies  unity as a BLACK WOMAN  felt a strong sense of pride that a black man can still recognized  the beauty in the virtue of a strong black woman. Because yes, black women can be angry, we can have baggage  and we don't ever just roll over and "Yes" every situation. We can be difficult. But beneath that, is strength.  And it's wonderful to have that strength defended.
