Re: The strength of white women So ALL black women have to "convince" people how strong we are? ALL black women get mouthy and tough?? That was very rude of you. Explain your statements plz. Thanks.
Re: The strength of white women Well that's pretty inconsiderate. Maybe she has a point. You don't have to justify the reason bm like ww by denouncing bw all into one category. Considering that's basically what that poster said. Is it wrong for her to feel that way? Why can't people just let it be that some black men like some white woman simply because THEY DO. And vice versa. Why does there always have to be a reason? I don't understand why the attraction has to be based solely on race. Shouldn't you like someone because you're attracted to them by their personality and not by just their race alone? I mean sure physical attraction is imporant but isn't mental attraction even more important? :? I don't know, I guess I just don't like it when people are so shallow and willing to degrade others for the wrong benefit.
Re: The strength of white women I understand where Aqua is coming from given that there has been lots of tension with bw on these boards in the past. Plus, the quote Cari put up is around 4-5 years old and this thread itself has been dead for over a year. It does seem suspicious for someone new to come in, guns blazing, over a dead topic. I do however, see where the comment would piss her off. Personally I don't have a problem with bw posting here, but if it starts to be a situaiton where we (ww and bm) are defending ourselves all the time to others who do not support our reasons for posting here, then that would be a drag.
Oh I see. I didn't even know there were black women were on this site to begin with seeing as how these topics were headed. I figured it might make them a little uncomfortable if not more. I know I'd feel uncomfortable if I visited a whietmanblackwomen board and to see so many reads that were against "my type".
You know, there are sure to be plenty of topics and/or posts that would make a bw uncomfortable or more - but I would expect the same if I started hanging out BET. (Which I did for a while, not much fun for me). The thing for me is that if someone has a chip on their shoulder about ww/bm relationships and tries to disguise that chip as 'simply standing up for themselves' - then they should be banned. There's a subtle difference b/t getting your own point across and using that point to tear down what someone else is doing. I am not sure that will make sense to anyone but me... Personally, I know there are plenty of non-ww friendly posts at BET, so I don't go there. Who really cares? I go where there are like-minded people who I can have fun with and open, respectful conversations. I would welcome anyone to the boards who can do the same.
