This feels really unnecessarily cynical to me.
Let's say it was the other way around: she has a kid with a black man, then a few years later settles down with a white guy, marries him, stays with him for decades, etc. You could easily spin that as a story of a girl having a young torrid fling with a black man but then settling down to have a true, long term relationship with a "stable" white guy.
And just to be clear, I'm not honestly arguing any of the stuff I just wrote! I'm just saying you can spin this any way you want if you're cynical enough.
I think a better perspective is to just say that life happens, and well meaning people can be attracted to people of various races at various times (even though I am married to a black guy, I have certainly been attracted to, and dated, white men and asian men in the past, for instance).
There's no grand strategy -- it's just life. But that's just my opinion!![]()
In this early interview from Feb. 2008, before she broke through in America, she casually reveals that she tends to date "Black boys." So, at the very least, it's not a completely new thing for her. (it's at about 1:45 where the question is asked)
As I have said the environment always matters. The mainstream entertainment industry is pretty white and if you are a white entertainer yourself entering the mainstream area you're going to be around a lot of white people. So her white ex or exes could've been the rarity for her because of what part of the industry she hung around. She would've had to seek out black men or hung around mostly black entertainers and circles.
She is one of the very few mainstream female entertainers that is with a black man right now. Adele is obviously going back to where she's been before(by her own account). Lebron James and Rich Paul be around mostly black circles so you know where she had to be at for them to meet. lol.
