Q: Why do black/African men seem to prefer non-black women over black women?Muhammad Rasheed - As much as some people would like the world to think the preference is simply natural & organic, which legitimizes the false Black women stereotypes of racist origins, it s highly unlikely that this is actually true.
As legendary entertainer Eartha Kitt recounted in
a heartbreaking quote, Black men have been in the habit of going after white women as a tool of social status elevation for quite some time. This practice was formalized and greatly encouraged during the Civil Rights Era, deliberately politicizing interracial relationships as one of the high-profile symbols of “progress.” Combined with the white-controlled mass media’s relentless broadcasting of European beauty standards to indoctrinate the populace, I personally feel it’s nigh-impossible for a Black man to have a “natural” preference to dislike his own ethnic group’s women. The anti-Black/pro-white programming is too strong for anything like that to be an artificial influence on a weak mind, self-hating mind.
