Why Do Black Men Love White Women?
We Explore the 3 most common reasons for the infatuation
I go out with white women. This makes a lot of people unhappy, mostly black women.
Black men and white women!
Those words alone are probably stirring up emotions inside of you as we speak. Relax, this is not an article that is condoning or denigrating these relationships. It damn sure is not going to bash black women.
What we will do is analyze some reasons why black men fall in love with white women.
Let’s start by saying, every situation is different and it’s not a one-size-fits-all argument. Some brothers might have fallen in love with a white woman because they were childhood sweethearts.
Others could have grown up in a predominantly white neighborhood and had no sisters around to date.
Physical attraction could also be a reason why a black man will choose a white woman over the others. After all, one can’t control who they are attracted to.
Generalizations are not always indicative of every specific situation.
However, we can surmise that many black men choose white women because of outside influences. Many of these reasons are not discussed whenever conversations regarding this topic arise.
Here are 3 reasons why black men love white women:
- It goes against societal norms
Since the time black folks were brought to this country, it has been taboo for black men to seek the company of a white woman.
Society dictates many of the norms we operate from, and society has always viewed this relationship dynamic as abnormal.
As inhumane as slavery was, a black man messing with a white woman would be treated with even more cruelty.
Crimes against white women by black men have always been treated harsher than similar cases with different demographics involved.
Many black men over the history of this country were imprisoned as the result of a white woman lying on them.
