checkered flags.

 the stance of being a black man (& openly bi one at that) is a convoluted one at that. but one thing i’ll never do is demean my own race for the sake of uplifting another, especially if i may be involved w a no black person. i see it a lot, especially within my own family, and more so with cousins and family around my age. the willful blindness to the black plight is one thing.. but it’s another thing whenever it’s being used to compare blackness to another race or culture with the statements coming out speaking negatively about that black person’s own color. black people that solely date outside their race or only talk to potential partners that aren’t black, something i’ll wholeheartedly never understand. and don’t let it be somebody that uses the old tired and tried trope about how black women are loud, obnoxious, mean for no reason, don’t support their man the way a white/latina/asian woman does, etc… the complete irony of it all is these the same black men that tweet/post the question about whether or not black women still like black men, or why black women date outside their race themselves. 

well i fuckin wonder why, Cletus. 

i personally don’t have any issue w a black person dating outside their race, but leave black women out of it. leave them out of the same sad ass rhetoric for your reasoning why you aren’t involved or don’t date them. “black women never liked me, idk why” could be cause you a goofy or you stink, or you just not poppin enough for em, it is what it is. 

and another thing…. STOP gettin involved w nonblack/white folks that really show their asses when it comes time to talk about race in any capacity. cause a lot of black men find themselves dating/marrying/having kids with these nonblack women that really don’t give a fuck about blackness or the safety of black people whatsoever. with all the police brutality and modern day lynchings of black people goin on all over the country, hell even the world tbh.. and your nonblack partner don’t feel no type of way about it nor do they have anything to say about it either... just so long as you can give em their prized mixed kids. which, in itself, is another subject to discuss but.. at the end of the day, date who you wanna date, marry who you wanna marry, whatever… just leave black women out of it.
