I'm white, tall, naturally blonde, have blue eyes with small facial features. I didn't choose these attributes; God did. I'm not "proud" (nor ashamed) of the way I was born, but I am proud of what I've accomplished. The only physical attribute of which I'm proud is a fit body. I work out and watch what I eat.
However, whenever I meet a black woman, I am almost always met with disdain, which is puzzling when the woman knows absolutely nothing about my personality. I feel as if I must "prove" that I'm not some arrogant princess who thinks that others are unworthy of my friendship. Once a woman really gets to know me, we become friends, and any barriers are broken.
However, that first barrier seems to have erected based on nothing more than my initial appearance (I don't dress provocatively or inappropriately at all). Although I have never worn the shoes of a black women, I really try to understand why they might feel this way.
A long time ago and even today, many people judge black people on nothing more than their race and physical appearance. So, why do many black women turn around and exhibit the same behavior that they (rightfully) hate?
This goes to say what? That no longer are blacks judged by nothing more than that physical appearance? I find it puzzling that so many white believe it all equal now. That simple because 30 plus years have past, over a 400 plus year history of being degraded, belittled, beat down, and looked down everything is all great and we should all hold hands in togetherness and peace.
Puzzling that so many whites now look at blacks with surprise. This does not condone the that you are treated, but please get rid of that "we all the same people" moniker many whites seem to have taken up......its making me ill.
What has changed is that you can turn on TV and see Denzel; but you can't see a black in congress in Tenn. So don't be under the illusion that its all equal.......its not. When you understand that, you may have some understanding why mistrust still exists towards whites in the black communiyt.
I will say this.....I don't know what black women you meet, but the black community.........in this history of this country has ALWAYS been the most inclusive and welcoming of all ethnic and racial groups.
Stop trying to date hoodish bruthaz.....that is one place you wll never fit in.
