And They Claim That Black Male/White Female IR Is More Acceptable.

Over and over we keep hearing and reading the notion that interracial relationships between black men and white women are more acceptable. This assertion is most commonly made by the common black female IR bloggers who label their sites as black female empowerment blogs. This article tends to show this assertion to be quite false.

Black man kissing white woman causes stir

By Doug Moore

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

On the cover of today’s Go! magazine, a regular section of Friday’s Post-Dispatch, there is a photo of a couple kissing to go along with the story “The 7 Best Places To Smooch”. The story hasn’t generated a ton of buzz, but the photo has. Why? Because the man is black and the woman is white. The reader comments at the end of the online version clearly showed us that at least some folks out there are not comfortable with interracial relationships.

The April 10 GO! cover generated disapproving story comments from some Post-Dispatch readers.

Here are a couple of examples:

From 1buschstadiumplz: “Haven’t read the story but dont like to see blacks and whites kissing;”

From taxpayer came this remark: ”This doesn’t surprise me at all. Libs take every opportunity they can to shove miscegnation in our faces. Now that TV has to show blacks in every commercial, notice that they are always posed beside a blonde woman. Not a brunette, a blonde. Its done for shock value. Sickening that a once proud newspaper would resort ot this. Joe Pulitzer is turning over in his grave in shame.”

Reader greggh tried a middle-of-the-road approach: “I’m not judging the concept of biracial couples at all, but in a city as racially polarized as St. Louis, I’m shocked that the PD would go so out of its way to be so gratuitously provacative. This completely undercut the message of the article.”

Other readers were disturbed by the negative comments including dwilliams, who wrote:

“You people make me sick! What a disgustingly racist community we live in. My husband is black, I am white, we have beautiful children and we are both educated. We teach our children tolerance and acceptance of others, even the meth smoking, trailer park rednecks portrayed in these comments. Keep your nastiness to yourself!”

We have deleted some of the comments that included offensive language because that is not appropriate or tolerated on the P-D blogs and we decided to limit comments on the photo to this blog.

I did some asking around in the newsroom about the decision to use the photo. Turns out that the couple is a real couple. The creative director of Go! knows the couple and asked them if they would pose for the story.

Quick research tells me that 7 percent of married couples are interracial and those numbers are growing as the minority groups in this country continue to grow. Tiger Woods, Halle Barry, Derek Jeter and President Barack Obama are all products of interracial parents.

It’s been almost 42 years since the U.S. Supreme Court knocked down a law barring interracial marriage. But today, at least in St. Louis, it seems to remain a touchy subject.

There’s Something About “Harry Potter” That You All Need To Know

Continuing the analyses of black female inter-racial bloggers.

by Menelik Charles...London, England

Ir bloggers & hating white women

IR bloggers’ “unreciprocated” love for Black men - with an accompanying feminine envy of white women, is translated into a “Black female empowerment” agenda. The next step is to ‘empower’ white men (who they suggest are being rejected en mass by white women for Black men) and all manner of tricks are deployed to bring this fantasy about. The first trick was to ‘welcome’ into their fold an alleged “white male” supporter who expresses an open disdain for white women.

There’s something about “Harry Potter”
That you all need to know

Evia and Sara’s blogs portrays a consistent contempt for white women which they show indirectly by attacking Black men who they assume desire them. However, they stop just short of racist verbal attacks as this might suggest envy on their part (commentators to their blogs are not so careful). So what’s a Black gal to do? Simple: have a friendly “white guy” called “Harry” to do the job for them! Here’s how it works: if a white man “bashes” white women then it won’t really constitute racist attacks but something akin to staggering personal insights! Please read what our alleged “white” friend, “Harry Potter” has to say about white women:

“sure, I don’t like white women…I don’t like fair skin, I don’t like freckles,
I don’t like red hair, I don’t like blond hair. But it seems as it is these
very traits in women that are considered the standard of beauty. I
can’t see a movie without the lead actress being a white blond…”

This is nothing but Stormfront-style racism, plain and simple! But let’s continue as “Harry” outlines “his” virtual mission statement:

“why spend my time bashing white women? Every group seems to
have websites, blogs, and forums bashing that group. However,
I have not seen one bashing white women. Why not?”

Can we be so sure that “Harry” has “never seen” a group “bashing” white women? Keep in mind that “his” blog is called “White Women Suck!” Well, there exists a similarly named blog “American Women Suck” (http://www.americanwomensuck.com/) run by a white man in which he bemoans the perceived injustices of feminism and female privilege. Might we assume he is talking about white women? Clearly, somebody is lying here, and ripping off someone else’s idea into the bargain!

Now read the following, if you will:

“for a long time I was completely fed up with the behaviour of women in general,
from the games they play, to their seemingly huge egos, and selfish behaviour.
then I realised it wasn’t women in general but white women in general”.

“Harry” identifies game playing, “huge egos” and selfishness as general ‘feminine’ behaviour. Fair enough: “he’s” had a life-time of personal relationships, and observations in which to confirm “his” worst suspicions regarding the female sex. Suddenly, however, and seemingly out of clear blue sky, “Harry” decides that all of these toxic traits pertain only to one group of women – white women! Something just doesn’t add up here!

I have read all of “Harry’s” blogs, and I’ve paid close attention to the issues “he” focuses on; who “he” offers support to, and especially those “he” takes sly digs at. Thus far, the ‘issues’ “Harry” deals with leads invariably to the racial vilification of white women. Those “he” typically offers moral support to are invariably Black women (especially those in inter-racial relationships with white men). And can you guess which race of men our ‘wizard friend’ takes sly little digs at? There is something about this ‘white boy’ that feels so utterly familiar!

“Harry potter” the boy wizard makes
the white man disappear

Ever notice how “Harry” has this extraordinary ability to conceal white-male power behind (1) “the media”, (2) “the movie industry”, and (3) the wider “society” whom he collectively blames for promoting white women as the beauty ideal? “He” never once, however, acknowledges that it is, in fact, white men who control the mass media and the wider society; and it is they who first installed white women as society’s female beauty ideal (beginning with the KKK-inspired ‘Birth of a Nation’) and they who maintain white women in this role today in Hollywood, the modelling and advertising industries and in countless magazine articles “promoting blonds”! There is something not right here.

How is it that an ‘investigator’ into the dominance of white women in the mass media, is unable to locate white men’s crystal-clear role in advancing this form of white supremacy? Is “he” blind? Is this why “his” righteous indignation isn’t directed at the real source of this racism against women of colour? If “Harry” is indeed wilfully unwilling to identify white men as the primary ‘enemy’ in the marginalisation of women of colour in the mass media, then are not his racist attacks against white women somewhat unjust? His blog promises “to speak the truth about white women”. But evidently only at the expense of not telling the truth about the role elite white males’ play in maintaining this state of affairs!

Sara is “Harry Potter”

It is not surprising that many BU bloggers are fooled into believing that “Harry Potter” is a white male, especially given “his” support of positions held by IR bloggers. Also, “Harry” is conveniently distanced from Black women insofar as “his” “preferred choice of women” are allegedly Asian. This is interesting because Sara has strongly advised Black women to “pursue” white men with the same vigour with which Asian women allegedly pursue them (surely, Asian babes are the ones being pursued!). Needless to say, when giving alleged examples of white women pursuing Black men with similar gusto, she roundly condemns them as “sluts”!

You know, it really appears as though “Harry” and Sara share very similar concerns not least a hatred of white women and for Black men. They also have in common a remarkably similar phraseology and writing style. They are without doubt, the same person! What, however, throws BU bloggers off her trail is that “he” concentrates on racially harassing white women instead of Black men. Sara thus throws around enough red herrings to keep BU bloggers off her scent. But a leopard cannot change its spots, even if we do call it a pigeon! The reality she engineers bears very little resemblance to anything I know as truth! Perhaps she needs to stop confusing matters by pretending to be a racist “white man” when she already does a pretty good interpretation of one by merely being Sara!

To conclude, Sara is a liar and a charlatan whose once hope-filled, and probably, secret teen diaries have been ‘upgraded’ to hate-filled ‘adult’ blogs hidden behind assumed names and death-wish sentiments. Vengeance and hate are her calling cards! It is perhaps a little unfair, therefore, to wish her ill given how deeply unsuccessful she is already in life and love. Certainly, she was once deserving of a father’s love, and possibly even that of a gallant ‘Black Knight’. Unfortunately, however, she doubtless takes after her mother, a bitter, twisted harpy, and like her mother she will pay the price in romantic longing, and life-long loneliness.

Black Lesbians, White Women.

I have always said that black women are simply female versions of black men. I receive a lot of negative reactions from black women who are anti-black male when I state this, but I will contend that the differences between black women and black men are differences related mostly to gender as opposed to different socialization (which does play some role, but not as much as they would like it to play). Give a black woman higher levels of testosterone and switch her sexual orientation toward other women, and she will show many of the same characteristics of black men, good or bad. Look at Felicia "Snoop" Pearson; a former drug dealer who served 8 years for second degree murder of a black woman. Look and Shawntee "Da Brat" Harris who was sentenced to three years in prison for aggravated assault of a black woman. The former is openly homosexual while the latter is rumored to be the same. Missy Elliot has had such rumors and much of the way that she presents herself is similar to the stereotypical thuggish ways associated with black men.

This brings me to the point of this post.

As revealed in Divided Sisters: Bridging The Gap Between Black Women and White Women, there is a greater tendency for black lesbians to be in interracial relationships than is the case with heterosexuals. As with black men, they often are criticized for their high tendencies to have relationships with white women. From chapter four of Divided Sisters:

Many African American lesbians are quick to assign ulterior motives to others in their community who love White women. "Black lesbians who date White women are suffering from self-hate," says one Black lesbian named Rhonda. "They think some White woman is going to lift them up." African American scholar Brenda Verner similarly claims, "Like Black men who have become obsessed with white women, many black lesbian feminists are caught in the net of "jungle fever."

I love the irony. "Suffering from self-hate" and "they think some White woman is going to lift them up". These words sound awfully familiar. Here is more:

I was at a party with my White girlfriend, and this Black woman started hitting on me. When my White lover saw what was going on, she came over and sat next to me, kind of making it clear that the two of us were together. Well, this other woman, who was being so nice and friendly, all of sudden turned vindictive. Then, after finding out that I was president of NOW, she very snootily commented, "Oh, that's why you've got a White girlfriend."

And:

My Black girlfriend once dropped my hand when a group of radical Black lesbians walked in the room. It really made me mad, and I think her attitude about me being White was something that ultimately led to us breaking up. It is very hard on Black lesbians to have other Black lesbians accuse them of being politically incorrect, or betraying Black sisterhood.

The parallels are amazing and the point I am trying to make is that these black lesbians are black females, they are socialized from childhood the same as any other black female, yet when they develop a sexual orientation toward women and/or tend to be more masculine than normal, they seem to mimic many of the characteristics commonly associated with black men.

I guess one can now argue that when black women are homosexual, they "adhere to a European standard of beauty". I guess it is now correct to say that "white lesbians appreciate the beauty of black women more than black lesbians". We can go on. This just goes to show the repeated hypocrisy of the anti-black male crowd.
