Why are dark Black men more socially acceptable than dark Black women?
For every 5 pictures of dark black men I see in the given day, I perhaps only see 1 picture of a dark black women.
I think this quote explains it best...
"If you watch this white supremacist minstrel network, BET (aka "the mulatto follies"), if you attend a dinner at the NAACP, if you carefully analyze the majority of women presenters at “The Soul Train Awards” (where child molesters are given Life Achievement Prizes..provided their victims are little black girls that no one protects or gives a **** about in our community, just like back in Africa), or if you watch the majority of films produced and directed by Black Filmmakers...you will notice that the WOMB of Black people...the authentic Black woman; authentic meaning the darkest, the one possessing the Crown (“the Proof”), the one with Nilotic, Ethnic or ******* features..is almost always disallowed.
You find yourself looking at gorgeous African-looking men like Michael Jordan, Morris Chestnut, Kanye West, Djimon Hounsou...and you wonder...where in the hell did these beautiful authentic black men come from? Because, you see...the “mother image” that it took to create these chocolate royal looking men is never allowed to be shown...unless she’s presented as an old woman. But you will never see the 19 year old deep chocolate beauty that produced these men. It will not be celebrated.
America is a western society that completely fears, hates and seeks to erase black people and Africa. And I would say that most Black Americans (at least 70%)...also hate black people and Africa...but because they themselves are black, they don’t realize it.
They will curse the photos of a lynched black man hanging from a tree as white people sit around having a picnic...but they will not give birth to that black man again. Instead, they will marry the lynch rope and produce children who look more like the white lynchers at the picnic.
They will call out the words, “Mother Africa”...but the lowest, most despised, hated person in Black America is the authentic Black woman. And the reason is...her WOMB makes them black, therefore, she is the enemy. And they make all manner of excuse, create any and every bald-faced lie against her...their own mother...in order to place the White man’s mother above her...as a savior; as a bridge out of blackness.
Through the white man's mother, they lose the proof. They achieve the disconnection from
black people's suffering...and BY DEFAULT...they join with White Supremacy, whether they be reddish-yellow, yellow, high yellow or vanilla-bean bi-racial...they become EXTRACTIONS of blackness that mainly reiterate "whiteness as normal--blackness is something you EVOLVE from" and bellie the slave master's contention that black people (Africans) are inferior and
lightskinned people are an "improvement".
As so many white mothers of biracial babies candidly point out during afternoon talk shows--an improvement on the "dark nappy" babies--the authentic blacks.
So many Black Americans have forgotten that when they look upon African people or look upon the very darkest black woman...what they are seeing is the living REPLICA of their ancestors...what’s left of them...in their natural state. And yet, they don’t make the connection. Instead of cherishing and protecting the ethos of their ancestors, many of us...both African and Black removed from Africa...assist the slave master/colonizer in destroying, lying upon and degrading this image.
We claim that there's only one race...the human race....yet we hate the Blackness in human beings. We see blackness as a deformity...a curse that White women or White men can cure by breeding it out of us. We hate Africa itself.
And in the United States...we are encouraged to breed it out. Everytime we watch B.E.T (a true ****** and coon channel) or countless films that highlight the beauty of Lightness and disallow representations of darkness...unless those representations are male and paired up with light or white images...everytime we see Mary J. Blige transmitting to little black girls that she can't possibly be cute unless she's got platinum blond hair...everytime we see a famous, successful black man choose a White woman or a Latina Woman (which on television and in the media is MOST of the time)...everytime we see Michael Jackson's Casper-white complexion or hear phone messages played on the news of him saying, "I hate my ****** hair!"...everytime we step out of our front doors in America...we are given the message that blackness is inferior and sub-human and that the answer is to hate and ERASE it."
