This is a good show. American bw make good jumpoffs. I would never marry an American bw only real african women (more loyal and faithful) but i'm still smashing!
Why is it wrong for Black women want to see themselves with a powerful White man?
Or any powerful man in general?
Or better yet, why can't Black women want to support a show for whatever reason, because it first of all actually displays us rather than keep us invisible from popular culture as we have been the past decade or so. And second of all, because it displays us in a non-stereotypical role. Why can't we simply support that and say fuck all else?
This is why people say Black folks are crabs in a barrel. The same folks complaining about Black women liking Scandal now, are the same ones who cry for representation on TV. But now that we have some, its a problem. You can't win with folks because even when you get what you been asking for you will get side eyed because you're liking it "for the wrong reasons". Bish shut up.
Im a black dude and I honestly think Tommy Sotomayer is on someones payroll, I dont fuck with him. I listen to this video though and I agree with the dude. Black woman would date out more if the option was there, I never really ever believe there "loyalty" skit because the ****** aint shit campaign been strong. How you gonna be loyal to a group of ppl you deem "aint shit"? Don't get me wrong I still talk and deal with BW (shit Im on this site) but y'all smoke screens don't really fool me. I also don't believe the "I love darkskin men" campaign they've been throwing up recently. l've always said black males and females have the same conditioning. Its just the black woman can play the smokescreen game better
If Black women in masse decided tomorrow they are open to dating out and made it known (remember, decades and decades of nothing but a brother talk isn't exactly easily forgotten in anyone's minds, including non-Blacks) they wouldn't have a problem if they were even remotely attractive and sociable. I know it hurts a lot of BM to hear it, but its real.
I say this and I am not some IR hype woman whatsoever. I don't even like that Black folks measure their worth by how much other folks 'want them'. I'm just saying what is the truth. Black women's IR numbers are a complete and direct result of their disinterest in other races of men. Numbers would likely double if this weren't the case. Hell, if Black women were willing to stoop so low to date the trash Black men do just to say they have a non-Black spouse (), they'd probably even surpass BM's numbers easily
Just watched his video...there's 10 minutes of my life I cant get back. Everybody has an opinion about everything and he is entitled to his. However, he did say a few things that disturbed me...especially all of the generalizations/stereotypes of Black women. We are all NOT the same! Not only did he come across as being anti-Black women but he also seems impacted by the light skin vs. dark skin dilema as well. I'm a brown girl and proud of it but there are plenty of dark skin people who have serious issues with the skin they are in.
This video was all about his opinion of Black women willing to be whores to White men and how we as Black women shouldn't support this show. BUT in this same video he talks about how undesireable we are and that we aren't viable dating options for Black men. So is he saying we should be "loyal" to Black men and not date other men eventhough Black won't want us either?
He talks about his "exes" a lot but no mention of his current situation... bet money he's with a White woman...dudes like him always throw stones while living in a glass house (run girl...RUN)!! I just pray this is some shock jock radio/web persona he is adopting to get paid and not who he really is...

Isn't that what this current IR campaign from BW is about? Lets be real here BW are making it known that they are open to dating out of their race, even more so than dating exclusively within the race (nothing wrong with that). It is just the means in which y'all are going about it. The books, seminars, talkshows etc. There was even a youtube vid in which a BW giving tips to other BW on hairstyles that are more likely to attract white men.
It takes two to tango , and there are other factors at work excluding the myth of BW disinterest in IR dating.

The BW that promote IR is such a small segment within then entire American BW population that it isn't even worst mentioning. I'm talking maybe half a percent if even that who give a shit about promoting it. So your example would be like me saying all Black men hate Black women because of a small vocal few like the one in this video and the several on youtube who have made it their live's work to trash BW.
Just consider it this way: why do BW even need a campaign led by this small minority to look at IR as an option? Do you ever remember Black men needing any campaign whatsoever to encourage them to date out? Ask yourself why its been necessary for Black women to even speak on the issue if not for an obvious unwillingness to do it. There is simply a disinterest there, I can't really explain why, but no matter how much people try to spin it into BW just being undesirable, that's the real. Even the most anti-Black women in interracial relationships Black women will tell you getting interest from non-Black men is not a problem.

You missed my point. I'll go over it again. You said BW shout not but a brother and non-blacks haven't forgotten that statement. I countered by saying these past years black women haven't been shouting "nothing but a brother" and have been using any available media outlet to tell the world they are open to IR. And that is the truth. Rome wasn't built in a day. BW IR rates have been growing over the last few years, so this "disinterest" is almost non-existent.
Regarding BWneeding a campaign, remember blacks are seen thru stereotypes and there's lot of malice in our history with this country. These women probably feel it is their job to break the stereotypes but it only makes them look thirsty.
My previous post had nothing to do with desirability/undesirability, other factors are at work.

Yes they have. It seems you missed my point and the reality of the situation. It is a disproportionately small segment of the BW population that isn't on the "nothing but a brother boat". The rest still are on it, never plan on getting off, and don't even give a damn about a life preserver. That is the overwhelming majority of Black women's preference. You seem to think that because now a few Black women are talking about their openness to IR, all Black women are, completely neglecting the majority's obvious preference for BM. Even within the Black race, BW proclaim their preference for darker skinned men. That does not logically lead to your wishful thinking that the interest to date IR is there for BW, but just not being reciprocated by other men. After all, if BW dated out, the man would inevitably not be dark skin.
In perspective, this is the exact OPPOSITE of preferences for Black men, which is why their IR numbers look the way they do.
And if you don't believe the segment of BW open to dating out is small: just look at threads here that talk about the IR BW. For every one who promotes IR, you have about 25+ more who will drag them to death and say they want nothing but a Black man.

Everything I typed flew right over your head. People of races prefer to date within their race. Majority of BM are with BW, Majority of WM with WW e.t.c So you stating majority of BW prefer to date within the race is nothing new, considering IR daters are a minority. What I disagreed with however, is that you're insinuating that BW have this innate dislike for IR relationships because they're so dedicated to BM. FALSE!!
And If you're going to go by threads created in LSA, you've already lost this arguement. Because most threads about non-bm are created to exalt them and the female posters fall in line. Just take a look at the sub-section we're posting in, it's called the "The Interracial Relationship Forum".
You can't pass your opinion as fact. Real world more than verifies all I've posted.

I'm trying to pass MY opinion off as fact? LMAO says the person who hasn't posted one thing of substance to substantiate his point besides "nuh uhhhh that's not true, nobody likes Black women".
I have told you that Black women prefer darker skinned men, so its logical that they are not as apt to interracial dating as say Black men. What have you given to substantiate your point? Nothing but hopes and dreams that Black women are simply undesirable and that's why they aren't dating out. Pathetic, and why am I not surprised its coming from a BM with an avatar that pretends to be about Black love, but has vested interest in taking low key jabs at Black women's desirability. Don't bother responding, I already see what it is so there is no further point in engaging.

Lawd, you're all over the damn place with assumptions. And you know what they say about assumptions? Can you kindly show me where I said "nobody likes black women"? You can't because I never said that. I also didn't say Black women were less desirable. Infact, I have went at it with fools who imply that black women are less desirable on this particular board.
See post56, I specifically stated other factors are at work, when it comes to IR and Black women which had nothing to do with black women desirability.
You've got everything mixed-up if you think I was trying to take jabs at Black women's desirability. I was just simply stating that BW are just as open to IR as any muthafkka. And your IR numbers have been held back by race relations, socialization, fear of the unknown etc.
