Sex, relationships, and Black women....
Where did black women go wrong when it came to men? We have gotten so off base relationship wise, that we have taken a religious character from a book and made him into some sort of emotional companion. Religious deities aren’t meant to replace romantic interactions between human beings, and I don’t care what nobody says.
I’ve had people tell me that I pick on black people too much, and that whites do the exact same things that I bitch about, and blah, blah, blah…
But my response to that is; I don’t live around white people, so I really don’t know what they do besides what they tell me and what I see on TV. And the fact that I fuck white men as a profession, is hardy any exposure to them.
I was having a conversation on Christmas with an uncle who’s only dated white women, and I asked him what he thought about black women, and his response was: "I haven’t dated a black woman since the 60’s, so I can’t fairly judge them because I don’t know them anymore". I respect that answer.
But it was what he said about me that made me sit up and listen.
He said that when I decide to get married that I would either marry a white dude or a nerdy black one. And when I asked him why he felt that way he said;
“Because you march to the beat of your own drum like a bohemian and you work really hard at being different, and only a certain type of man is attracted to that. White men and nerdy black ones”.
I can dig that, I LOVE nerdy black men. LOL
I didn't grow up in a Black church so the first time that I heard that this was the overall sentiment of Black women in the church I was very, very shocked!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, I've always been taught in church that God has someone out there for me; yes, there are those few that are meant to be alone, but they are very few and far in between.
Like yourself, I also march to the beat of my own drum, so I wouldn't mind marrying a white man or a nerdy black one :)

ReplyDeleteThe first time I heard that quote, I was probably 13 and even then I knew something was wrong with that.
I promise you, marching to the beat of your own drum will make you a much happier and interesting woman.
If Jesus is your husband, I just want to know if he can fuck.
