With tension at it’s highest between back women and men. Black women are finally waking up and dating out. The revolution for black
women has begun. So with that being said, where does this leave black men and
what is the future for them?
I know most of you are saying “who cares!” lol. This trend
is interesting because it has a probability of happening. Let’s take a look at
The Asian dynamic and how this trend could totally be mimicked within black
culture.
Since the beginning of Asian society, the Asian woman was
seen as delicate, almost childlike entities. Basically made to cater to men.
Look at the Geisha phenomenon. Women train for years just to learn to put tea
on the table the “correct” way for so called upper-class Japanese men! Not really
valued more than that. If a woman was to have to many female children, they
were harassed to kill it. There were
even rooms that they created to let children starve to death. (Look at link
below)
A revolution ensued. Out of the need to get out of the homes
and cultural confines of being a woman in a culture that puts women as second
class citizens, Asian women started to marry American soldiers in the 70’s. Of course it wasn’t a total victory. American men was attracted to Asian women in
hopes of exercising their desire to be dominate men at a time when there was women’s
lib and women, especially white women, wanted to break free of being the
traditional housewives. Asian women saw it as an opportunity, what may have seemed
like oppression to the American white woman, was virtually paradise for the
Asian woman. The American man was not perfect, but he certainly would not make
her kill her children and act in a total slave like manner. She would have more
freedom relative to what she would experience in the east.
By the 80’s and 90’s it was normal to see Asian women and
white men. (Sounds familiar?) And if you did see an Asian man, he would be with
other Asian men or by himself. White
women are now Americanized. They no longer hold the old eastern traditions of cratering
to men. They have successful careers and are one of the highest earners in interracial
couplings. The Asian man was an after thought. Asian men got so angry of the
change, but what could they do? They had the stigma of being domineering,
disrespectful, and hateful toward their Asian counterpart. It was harrowing for
them and within the last few years. They have licked their wounds and finally Asian women are slowly coming back.With that being said, is this the fate of the black man? They
will be solitary, decidedly so. It will take a little more time; however their behavior
is no different than that of the Asian man of old. Women are waking up and
taking a stand. Proudly acclaiming that they will no longer be held down to be
the back bone of the black community. They are finally discovering that they
are being seen as beautiful by men all
over the world. It will take time. But if we do not repeat the mistakes of the
past, this is a possibility. There is one variable however. Asian men haven’t been
desired by anyone whereas black men are desired by many. So it will take time.
However, most black men with good looking non black women need money, and lots
of it. Earning potential becoming more difficult for the masses, and black
women actually in college more than ever despite that. The likely hood of black
men sustaining desirability is low.
Black women must realize that this is their golden time to
seize the opportunity. They have such potential of having loving relationships.
Becoming marriageable.. Building a solid foundation . But the overall possibility
of this happening rests on BW. I'm sorry, but there have been a lot of mistakes
along the way that helped black men be the weak hate filled beings they are
today. We as black women need to accept love. Not pay for dates and try to buy
the love that is due us. We must not just accept any little iota of attention.
We need to have standards and also accentuate the qualities that make us the
queens we are so that kings gravitate to us!!!

I love this post! I always encourage Black women to date OUT and UP!!
ReplyDeleteI have many Asian friends and I've been told that the Asian men in their community didn't start treating them better until they saw that White men were going to swoop in and do that job. When something you think belongs to you gets taken away from you and flaunted in your face, then that may fuel some fire to correct things.
I don't believe that BM are desired by many. Maybe at first but after women of other races see for themselves how they are they will run right back to their own men, if that's even possible because I know many WM won't date a WW if he knows she's been with a BM.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad that you are encouraging your peers to explore their options. Finding a mate is like finding a job. You cannot apply for one. You need to apply for several. And I understand what you mean by black men not being desired. But they are very much a short-term interest, unless, they have dem bucks to keep them there lol. But I hope that when they start crying back, that we do not let them back in. Let the tables turn for once ;)
I am interested in dating outside of my race because I am tired of the disrespect that I have gotten from Black American men and I have gotten better treatment from non Black men too. I am in my late teens and I wondering what should I do to open up to other races of men?
ReplyDeleteI actually have a book that I written on this very subject. I will post it for free once I figure it out. For now, I suggest you look towards Europe. Germany is a wonderful place where you can be appreciated. Most speak English already Italy is a nice place to get your feet wet. But only for fun ;) look at meetups in your area. Try online dating but be very cautious. Interracialdatingcentral.com is a paid site. But I had luck with it in the past. But that was 10 years ago. Join fb groups. Get into the likes that other races are into. Kpop, rock music. Learn more about the type of man you want to date. Soon you will meet that special guy. You have plenty of time. Take a look at the post below for more tips and good luck!!!!
