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)!!!
She wrote:
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 good-looking,
educated and loving Afro American male. I just don't
understand a lot of African female's
attitudes about our relationship. My
man decided he wanted me
because the pickings amongst African
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 African 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 African men about
why we are so appealing and coveted
by them.
Bryant Gumbel 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, 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, African men, Let me
know.
Thanx-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 Afro-American 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 strict
homes.
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 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 script, there are
numerous white men, in and out of the
spotlight, 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 be
misinformed, Stop thinking that
Because you are white that you are
some type of goddess. Remember, when
African Egyptian Queens
like Hatsepshut,Nitorcris and the Queen Of Sheba were
ruling Dynasties and armies of men
in Egypt and Ethiopia, 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 Bosom
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/African 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 African 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 Bosom s 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
