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
black 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

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 the church. 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 their
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 Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan, Morris
Chestnut, Will Smith, Blair Underwood, Samuel Jackson, and Chris Rock
all married strong black women. And to flip the scrip, there are
numerous white men, in and out of the spot light, 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 black Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and
Nitorcris were ruling Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt, 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 breast 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 women were born with two strikes against them: being black and
being a women. 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 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
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 breast 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. Some one 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 can not fit the bill. I guess you are just
S.O.L. No offense taken, none given.
