Black Men, White Women Since 1681


That's right. Some Black men have been in relationships with White women, in America, since at least throughout the past three hundred twenty years. I say this because of the claims from detractors that Black men are "manipulated by the media" to have an attraction for White women. Now, unless, television is an invention alot older than what we've been told, it's safe to assume that some Black men found White women attractive, even during the generations of slavery in this country when media nearly didn't exist outside of written paper. Yes, even enslaved Black women had concensual relationships, and marriage, with White slaveoweners. It's been documented.

To imply that Black men in relationships with White women were manipulated by the blondes they see on MTV is unreality. Simple as that. Now, I realize that Black Men-White Female relationships are the most hated couples in America, but the lengths some people go to keep the taboo alive, and completely discredit BM/WW couples, just shows how lonely, and bitter, some are.
