Time To be the Bad Guy
so i got sent this....http://www.afieldnegro.com/photos.html
and i have this to say
why is it so very difficult for us to reaffirm who we are. The brotha in the video names just about every damn black person in the public eye and just about every single on of them isnt w/ a black mate. I DO NOT SUPPORT interracial relationships. For me interracial marriage is an external expression of the internalization of this eurocentric culture. The eurocentric Beauty standards (porn, models, music) , the eurocentric based education (lack of diverse education) , good ole division w/in the black community, and the lack of knowledge of self all work in concert to elevate that which is white. Its an issue of self hate. How do you love yourself but are unable and unwilling love the women that are your reflection. The fact of the matter is that you dont. And you dont love black women. Plain and simple. Own up to it.
And the thing about it that kills me is the excuses cats be making. and Since im a Man ill address the brothers. First we focus so much on trying to have sex with as many women as possible and many of us are rather indiscriminate about it cuz the idea is if im trying to have sex i need to have the widest pool of potential lays possible. We soo busy trying to figure out how get a given women into bed we neglect to spend anytime trying to think about what a good woman is or how to be a good man to one. Serious fellas dedicate some time to think about what women deal with. for example check the below
If I fail in my job or career, I can feel sure this won’t be seen as a black mark against my entire sex’s capabilities.
If I’m a teen or adult, and if I can stay out of prison, my odds of being raped are relatively low. (More).
On average, I am taught to fear walking alone after dark in average public spaces much less than my female counterparts are.
If I choose not to have children, my masculinity will not be called into question.
If I have children but do not provide primary care for them, my masculinity will not be called into question.
If I have children and provide primary care for them, I’ll be praised for extraordinary parenting if I’m even marginally competent.
Even if I sleep with a lot of women, there is no chance that I will be seriously labeled a “slut,” nor is there any male counterpart to “slut-bashing.”
If I’m not conventionally attractive, the disadvantages are relatively small and easy to ignore.
I can be loud with no fear of being called a shrew. I can be aggressive with no fear of being called a bitch.
I can ask for legal protection from violence that happens mostly to men without being seen as a selfish special interest, since that kind of violence is called “crime” and is a general social concern. (Violence that happens mostly to women is usually called “domestic violence” or “acquaintance rape,” and is seen as a special interest issue.)
My ability to make important decisions and my capability in general will never be questioned depending on what time of the month it is.
Magazines, billboards, television, movies, pornography, and virtually all of media is filled with images of scantily-clad women intended to appeal to men sexually. and are generally white
In general, I am under much less pressure to be thin than my female counterparts are. If I am fat, I probably suffer fewer social and economic consequences for being fat than fat women do.
If I am heterosexual, it’s incredibly unlikely that I’ll ever be beaten up by a spouse or lover.
Then compound this with the being black dealing with eurocentric beauty standards. Fellas we so much ish about black women an their attitudes but give no thought to what their struggles are as black women and how we as men have contributed to that.

Isaac, I don't agree with you, but I really like your blog anyway. I'm a whitegirl in an interracial marriage with a Latino, so my personal experience doesn't really fit into your equation here, but what about love? Forget all the Hollywood guys dating supermodels with European good looks, what about our next door neighbors, fellow students, brothers and sisters, moms and dads, etc. that simply fall in love with the girl next door who just happens to have a different skin color? Love your blog, so I'd like to hear your thoughts.
thanx for comment. Imo love is formed by what we find attractive. For the same reasons i mentioned in the post are teaching that what is most desirable is that which is european. same applies in my opinion. Because very little to nothing in this country that is african is given any value unless it is connected to something european. Not our history culture none of that on any significant level and thats just one of the many functions of white supremacy. That simple scenario doesn't exist. Thanx for asking and commenting come back soon now
I'm interested to hear male responses to your post--especially your list of things you generally do not have to deal with.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
You pegged it with the self love that is what some of these relationship come back to.I've heard "African American Males" say they do not want to have a baby with a darker skinned woman for fear the child will have "nappy" hair as if it were the equivalence of having HIV.I do not think this example is true in all cases.I belive some peole fall in love regardless of race,gender, and all that other good stuff.I do belive that it takes a strong person to deify the what the masses is doing. Keep Writing I love your blog. NeonSaturn
