Black men protesting BLM but exclusively dating white women

I’m always confused about black men or men of colour in the media and RL who shout racism/BLM and so on yet when you look at their lifestyle they are married to white women. When you go on to find out more they only ever have dated/married white women.... what are people’s take on this?

@DivineRoyalty it’s nobody’s business if one wants to wear a weave. I don’t hear white women ragging their own for wearing hair extensions? I don’t hear white women ragging their own for Botox. I don’t don’t hear white women tearing each other down.
WHY IS THIS

Your statement is tearing black women down! That is not the definition of being united just because you allegedly claim you have long hair. Good for you. But Afro hair is the slowest growing. It’s not a race to the bottom but it is a fact.

Don’t be so self righteous.

Luckily, they are very modest and have the kindest, sweetest natures. I'm not bothered what colour girl they marry. I just want them both to be happy.

Awww. I agree and I hope they are happy too. @BlackIsBlackIsBlack

Thank you, afromeg.

MaveMay1, you clearly do not know anything about afrohair. You should learn more about your own hair. Who told you afro hair is the slowest growing hair? Afro hair looks short because it shrinks. When straightened it doubles in length.
White women wear extensions of their own texture.

I am sorry if telling you that your hair is good enough is tearing you apart. Wow how sad.

Mothersruin1 · 23/01/2021 21:20

“Black men are the most universally sexually desired ethnicity on the planet by a long margin” really??? Trying saying to many Eastern European’s, Chinese, Indians, the rest of Asia. That’s half the planet right there. These countries sadly do not hold black people in high regard.

This thread has already been taken down once by MNHQ, before being reinstated, and it looks like it's in danger of going the same way again. I'd appreciate it if posters could steer back to the thread topic (while appreciating threads have many twists and turns), so we can try and avoid it being removed.

Afro hair does not double in length. It looks longer yes but it does not double. It is the slowest growing hair type Afro hair.

There’s no point replying if you can’t speak facts.

The hair comments are very 70s not even my white nana would speak like that FFS. Honestly.

White women don’t speak about each other like this? So why are you?!

Blush I’m embarrassed on your behalf. Just because you don’t want to wear a weave or whatever your not gaining any brownie points. NOBODY CARES.

Take a look around! 2021 and your coming with old school vibes 😂😂😂😂😂😂 about imitating Europeans hair.

You sound like you need one wig yourself.

DivineRoyalty · 23/01/2021 21:32

Listen, when you are walking around imitating another woman's standard of beauty you are shouting at the roof top for everyone to hear that you are not good enough. You are disrespecting yourself and that's what's tearing you apart. If you do not respect yourself and love yourself enough others wont do that for you. There are countless natural hair YouTube channel showing how to take care of your natural hair. I believe that in 2021 it is unacceptable for black women to walk around with wigs and weaves on their heads everyday.
Fair enough you can do as you please but do not blame me for tearing you apart because I am uplifting what God has crowned you with.

It's a good job you only need to concentrate on your head then, isn't it Hmm

😂 I have so many wigs I could start my own wig shop
I absolutely love wearing wigs and have for many years
My own hair while it’s lovely I would never get like my wigs although they look very very natrual and no one can ever tell
Unacceptable to wear wigs - says who

DivineRoyalty · 23/01/2021 21:37

You wouldn't know anything about afrohair since you have abandoned yours. Let me speak for my own hair please.

JayDot500 · 23/01/2021 21:38

"There are countless natural hair YouTube channel showing how to take care of your natural hair."

And even some of them go back to relaxers/wigs because they don't want their lives to be defined by their hair.

MaveMay1 · 23/01/2021 21:38

I don’t agree with your opinion on it and that’s life.

What you don’t realise is not everyone has your mentality and the white people certainly don’t either!!

Why are white women not upset about wigs and weaves???

I’ll tell you why they don’t behave as you and others similar. White women are happy to wear weaves too Grin

Nobody has time... mean while the white women are sticking together and up for their OWN KIND!!

I concentrate on my inner self. Being ashame of your natural hair tells a lot about your inner self.

im5050 · 23/01/2021 21:41

I thought this was about BLM
How did it get to wigs & weaves 😂

MaveMay1 · 23/01/2021 21:42

@DivineRoyalty so why are white people allowed to wear fake hair and black people are not? Why is it acceptable that white women are having Botox? Do you hear white women shouting from the roof tops?

Because I certainly do not!

MaveMay1 · 23/01/2021 21:43

@im5050 I used hair as a comparison Blush and another poster casted her judgement on weaves I wouldn’t of if I had of realised it was
An issue Grin

JayDot500 · 23/01/2021 21:44

Someone needs to start a hair debate thread I swear. We are obviously ripe for it 😅

BlackIsBlackIsBlack · 23/01/2021 21:45

DivineRoyalty

Nobody has abandoned anything Hmm Stop telling us how we should behave, it's controlling, and doesn't allow for the fact that we are not one homogeneous group Hmm

For the record, I don't like my natural afro hair (am I allowed to say I don't like my own hair, without being accused of being self-hating?) so I have it braided. It's easier to deal with.

Let me be me.

Do it!! Wink

Ah right I thought for one minute I had wandered on to another thread 😂😂
I’m a black / mixed race woman that loves her Botox and lip fillers and wigs and I’ve even been known to have fake spray tans 😂😂

DivineRoyalty · 23/01/2021 21:47

@JayDot500
Most do not go back to that so it is irrelevant that a few does. You do not think you are being defined by society when you show your self hate. Your self hate encourages others to put you at the bottom. Imagine if 70% of white women walked around with a fake afro on their head everyday .
What would you think of her? Would you blame their white men for dating black women because they want women with real afros instead of fake ones?

im5050 · 23/01/2021 21:49

In my experience most men can’t tell if your hair is real or not 😂

JayDot500 · 23/01/2021 21:50

@MaveMay1 me who has had her hair in a headscarf for most of lockdown? Please I don't want someone to come and call me lazy when I'm trying to reduce manipulation and let it grow (my excuse anyway) Grin
