Please take a look at this video. It touches on what I think is one of the biggest issues with black America right now. Black men and women are taking a stance against each other that is only making the black community weaker. I will post my thoughts of the video below, but I ask you to take a look at it as well and share what you think.
I honestly don’t know where to start with this video. The male voice over in the video basically threw black women under the bus. At the end of the video the blonde haired black female basically said it was a wrap in her trying to date black men.
The unfortunate thing that I see in all of this is at some point black men and women have become enemies to each other. We no longer are on the same team and no longer support each other. We have all taken what white America says about us and have internalized it and know spew the hate towards our own. How in the hell did we allow this to happen?
This is the reality as I see it. White women complain about dating as well as black women. White men and black men can’t complain about it as much because it makes them look like they are whinning. So you mostly hear about women complaining about dating. As the old saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Dating and finding the right person is not a race issue. It is a people issue. It is difficult for everyone to find “the one” regardless of race or gender. We always think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.
If we continue to go down this road of blamng each other, the black community is in for bleak times.
Just a quick note: To the male voice over guy. Oprah was approached and dated a white man. Ebert of Siskel and Ebert movie critics actually dated Oprah before she went syndicated. My guess is that there are probably a few more.
