Black Women's Romantic Prosperity in Amerikkka

In Western American Media and History White Femininity has been portrayed as deserving of marraige, elegance, husband, praise, and respect. Black femininity has been portrayed as deserving of rape, incest, abuse, prostitution, and being a baby making machine. This propaganda intentionally disrupts positive modern perceptions of a Black woman's character, worth and femininity.
It starts with the way Black women view themselves which is why so many resort to beauty transformations, desperate to achieve a Caucasian aesthetic. This is a result of white supremacist standards of beauty and aesthetics in Amerikkka preventing a Black woman from receiving admiration for her beauty if she does not have or obtain Caucasian features. To this day dark skin is scarcely an object of desire on a Woman in Amerikkkan media and when there is a female celebrity with dark skin her complexion is often lightened in media productions or she is type casted into a marginalized role.
Next is the way Black Men perceive Black Women. When you are in a country that teaches you self hatred; as a woman you desire to embody the qualities of your oppressors and as a male you desire to find those qualities in a mate to achieve social status. Although Black Men were straightening their hair as well, the pressure to achieve a Caucasian aesthetic is mostly put on Black Women. Black masculinity is considered dangerous, barbaric and intimidating, all qualities proven to be statistically and biologically attractive to any race of woman, as well as fear inspiring to any race of man. In fact Black men are dis-proportionately incarcerated due to the stereotype of their intimidating and arousing masculinity. Thus taken away from their communities, losing the birth right to protect their families, and treated as sub-human, while being perceived as super-human nonetheless. As a result the best way Black Men in the past knew how to get back at their oppressors during civil rights was to dominate the women of the Oppressor, any savage mans most prized possession. This revenge on White Masculinity perpetuated the now genocidal interracial dating and marriage among Black Men and White Women in the USA, thus removing wealth and structure from the Black Family and sabotaging the accomplishments of the Ancestors of our Ethnic Struggles. Aside from this social revenge, Black men just like the rest of Amerikkkan Men have been told by media that White Women are desirable and Black or Indigenous women are sleazy, unrefined or unrelatable. This propaganda encourages the decision to marry a white woman as it immediately increases the social value of a Black Man in corporate Amerikkka because he is less a threat to the structure of White Supremacy if he perpetuates self hatred and hatred of the Black Wombman he originates from and gets his natural traits from.
Next is the way White women Perceive Black women. Since we are talking about American media history we know that White Women never had a reason to be intimidated by Black femininity because it was never glorified or desired in comparision to her own, until recently and commonly in Music Entertainment. In fact I believe that over the decades White Women have gone from pity to envy in her sentiments toward Black women. Now that Black women are portrayed as more than prostitutes, Big Mamas, slaves, nannys and ghetto girls, white women for the first time have to compete with the idea of a natural Black Woman (whose Natural aesthetic is so opposite and unobtainable to the recessive Caucasian phenotype) being considered Beautiful, and possibly redeemed as the Standard of Beauty leaving no room for recessive aesthetic competiton. Now there are more white women injecting collagen into their less voluptuous featuress to achieve more typically African figures and features. More white women are looking to hair supplies, tanning supplies, surgeries and other technology to attempt to achieve the erotic and exotic aesthetics Black women are commonly born with, including our indigenous ability to give birth and age with a grace sustained by the carbon concentration in our heavily melaninated skin. This only means that just like Black women in America have damaged themselves to look like our recessive oppressors, white women are now forced to compete since recently they're neither the ethnic majority nor the official standard of Beauty in America considering our current Dark Skinned African American First Lady. The backlash against the rise in African Consciousness among the Black diaspora is demonstrated heavily in Amerikkkan pop media that essentially avoids images of natural African women and intentionally reserves Black masculinity for the flighty and often unfaithful romantic pursuits of white female protagonists.
Last we come to the way White Men perceive Black Women. This tends to be the most taboo of all jungle fevers matches. Black women historically and typically limit themselves to Black men because of the natural loyalty of the Original Wombman as well as the insecurity embedded in the average Black Woman due to life long exposure to Amerikkan media propaganda with little Afrocentric outlets. Because of these limitations most Black women put on their sexuality, I feel White men are taught these stereotypes about Black men that they assume they have to live up to in order to attract and arouse a Black woman. If a White man stereotypes Black men and is intimidated by their masculinity he will stereotype Black women and be intimidated by his perception of her sexuality as well. Most white men develop increased sexual insecurity when he finds out his woman has cheated on him with a Black man or has been with a Black man before, so dating a Black woman can subconsciously feel like dating a woman whose already had better in bed, whose needs are less sexual and more financial or economical, and she becomes an immediate sex toy and is seen as an object being paid for, a gold digger or prostitute that he can brag ownership of to make himself feel better as a White man perceiving himself to be successfully competing with Black Masculinity by obtaining, conquering and eventually degrading Black Femininity. Furthermore, When men are intimidated by women they tend to objectify them. White male insecurity tends to translate to objectifying the Black woman, focusing on the exotic energy she offers him, negating any intrinsic value that would warrant respect. In turn she becomes more of jungle thrill than a prospective wife and mother. The media depictions of natural Afrian Black women tend to be exotic and aboriginal making her sexuality seem savage and one to be defiled as opposed to loved. Lifestyle and class play a role as well. Amerikkka was designed for White men to be in power so when a poverty stricken race dates the Oppressor they are upgrading their social class, not realizing they are only getting what they are allowed to have of the ruling/white diaspora, the leftovers that the Elite class wont accept. Typically in Amerikkka Blacks are in poverty, so for a White man to be willing to adopt a heritage of slavery and poverty and oppression in order to sustain a healthy marriage with a Black woman is unrealistic, just as unheard of as it is for a white woman to lower her social status and the privileges included for the love of a Black man.
Of course none of my opinions apply to every scenario, People are people and regardless of race our huemanity has always been diverse in its behaviors and personalities. I realize that in history there are possible accounts of interracial relationships that do not fit in the margins I've outlined. As a culturally conscious, spiritually active and socially aware African Indigenous Wombman I refuse to make excuses for those who participate in the attempted Genocide of African Huemanity by encouraging the Hatred of the Black Wombman and the exploitation of the Black Man.
