It seems that an article was written to Sister 2 Sister magazine by
a Caucasian woman who requested a response from black men. I'm so
glad she got what she asked for (and more) !!!

Dear Jamie:

I'm sorry but I would like to challenge some of your Black male readers.

I am a White female who is engaged to a Black male-good-looking,
educated and loving. I just don't understand a lot of Black female's attitudes about our relationship.

My man decided he wanted me because the pickings amongst Black women were slim to none. As he said they were either too fat, too
loud, too mean, too argumentative, too needy, too materialistic or carrying too much excess baggage.

Before I became engaged, whenever I went out I was constantly approached by Black men, willing to wine and dine me and give me the world. If Black women are so up in arms about us being with their men, why don't they look at themselves and make some changes
I am tired of the dirty looks I get and snide remarks when we're out in public. I would like to hear from some Black men about why
we are so appealing and coveted by them.

Bryant Gumbel just left his wife of 26 years for one of us Charles
Barkley, Scottie Pippen, the model Tyson Beckford, Montell Williams, Quincy Jones, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, Sydney
Poitier, Kofi Anan, Cuba Gooding Jr., Don Cornelius, Berry Gordy,Billy Blanks, Larry Fishburne, Wesley Snipes...

I could go on and on. But, right now, I'm a little angry and that is why I wrote this so hurriedly. Don't be mad with us White women
because so many of your men want us. Get your acts together and learn from us and we may lead you to treat your men better. If I'm wrong, Black men, let me know.

RESPONSE

Dear Jamie:

I would like to respond to the letter written by A Disgusted White Girl.

Let me start by saying that I am a 28-year old black man. I graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. I have a good job at a major corporation and have recently purchased a
house. So, I consider myself to be among the ranks of successful black men.


I will not use my precious time to slander white people. I just
want to set the record straight of why black men date white women.
Back in the day, one of the biggest reasons why black men dated white women was because they were considered easy.

The black girls in my neighborhood were raised in the church. They
were very strict about when they lost their virginity and who they
lost it to. Because of our impatience to wait, brothers would look
for someone who would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to the white girls.

Nowadays, in my opinion, a lot of brothers date white women because they are docile and easy to control. A lot of black men, because of
insecurities, fears, and overall weaknesses, have become intimidated by the strength of our black women. We are afraid that
our woman will be more successful than us, make more money than us,
drive nicer cars and own bigger houses. Because of this fear, many black men look for a more docile woman. Someone we can control.
I have talked to numerous black men and they continuously comment
on how easy it is to control and walk over their white women. I just want to set the record straight. I want A Disgusted White Girl
to know that not all successful black men date white women.

Brothers like Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan,
Morris Chestnut, Will Smith, Blair Underwood, Kenneth "Babyface"Edmonds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Chris Rock all married strong black
women And, to flip the script, there are numerous white men, in and
out of the spot light, who openly or secretly desire black women over white women. Ted Danson, Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie to name afew.
just don't want a disgusted white girl to be misinformed
Stop thinking that because yo
