Black Culture Discussion Thread

I agree, no need to POLICE interracial relationships but if it ia being discussed, we can definitely bring up potential roadblocks

 

[P C H]

I saw some statistic showing the more wealthy a black man gets the more likely he is to marry outside his race.

It’s as if when you are rich, you want to prove your wealth by marrying a white woman. It’s as if you are showing white men “look I’m just like you”

What if it's a matter of opportunity?

That is, the more wealthier a black man gets, the more exposed he'll be to other races of women, thereby increasing his chances or marrying out?

Also, interracial relationships aren't just black and white (all pun intended)

P C H what I said was about black men marrying outside his race. That’s it, not white men marrying a Chinese woman or a black woman marrying Arab men.

Statistic has shown the wealthier black men get they tend to marry outside their race.

There is also the above photo, where black women are more loyal to black men than we are to them.

It’s something that needs addressing

It’s something that needs addressing

1) Among other reasons, Black women are more "loyal" to black men because in general, their selection pool is smaller due to mass incarceration of black men. Also, there are more women than men so naturally, women will have less options thus making them more loyal to men. This is a phenomenon that extends beyond black women being loyal to black men. Women in general are more loyal to men.

2) Yes, the wealthier a black man gets the more likely they are to marry outside their race. What I'm saying is that, to simply say they're marrying out of their race for status symbol purposes is extremely simplistic and doesn't take into account the spaces that successful black men operate in. If a black man goes to college, he'll more than likely be at an institution where it's over 90% non black. The odds of him then, marrying black are low. Successful black men operate in spaces that are...not black, so it makes sense that some black men will marry out. Marriage is often times about circumference of mate.

Also, don't forget the smear campaign, by the media, to destroy the images of black women and Asian men to the point where they routinely put out articles about how undesirable each group is.

Everything is by design man

Lookin in a different direction it could stem from them goin into more different environments as they get more money, meeting newer people. As that happens, seeing less and less black people. Eventually gravitating towards someone that most likely is outside their race. think that's what it most likely is, don't think money is givin dudes jungle fever

Please don’t try and justify black men not wanting to marry black women

Just wanted to spark discussion
It’s so much scandalous ****

Its medical apartheid. Which is also the name of the book I plan to read about how the medical world is another tool that is used to oppress us

Funny

A coworker (white dude) married a black woman.

He was explaining to me that his wife REFUSED to go see black panther with him. He couldn't understand and I think he low-ki wanted me to explain it to him.

I didn't but stuff like that makes me feel funny about US marrying outside of race.

When there are cultural movements/moments/shifts, can we confidently/honestly celebrate with a mate that isn't black?

I am sure you/we can, but it is just a qeird concept to me.

I understand those that think it isn't that deep though

I can respect her though for holding on to moments she felt are cultural/ her time. At the same time i'm not sure that's healthy for a marriage, imagine if he did the same.

he’s serious.

this is how the Umar Johnsons of our culture become so popular

its weird.
years ago people dismissed conspiracies, chain letters, and tabloid trash for the garbage it was

today, you put those same conspiracies, chain letters, and tabloid trash onto social media and it becomes true.

OR its a “yeah, i KNOW its fake BUT...”

cmon man, seriously?

id so like to think we’re smarter than that. maybe we arent.

i blame social media.
i also blame ignorance, stupidity, and peoples overall laziness in seeking knowledge

social media is a nasty mirror showing us just how dumb, superficial, concieted, and ugly we really are as a society.

and just think, we’re still within the infancy of social media

Goes back to the convo we were having in the Umar thread.

If you don't feel like you can experience something like THAT with your mate, will there always be something "missing?"

I'm sure, but that's part of being married, you love this person so strongly you understand when differences may be tough and push through. Everyone deals with this I think, not just race. Younger/older, north/south, fruit town block/rollin 30s block or whatever. Like my ex is older than me and I showed her the Kawhi laugh and she didn't think it was funny at all, just another laugh. I was like damn.

that’s is the scary thing...this type of (mis)information/stuff has always been here, now there is the potential to really leverage it on an even larger scale..

perhaps, but definitely not necessarily...keeping some thing(s) for one’s self can be just as needed for some folk...

I was like damn.

word, as potentially divisive as ‘race’ can be it, is far from being singularly so, for any combination of people of different ethnicities...and yea, i can see people not ‘getting’ the kawhi laugh...more than half the reason it is funny is being aware (of the narrative) that kawhi is an emotionless automation!

Please don’t try and justify black men not wanting to marry black women

People need to stop dancing around this. The fact is we live in a country that has historically pushed that white is better. You can't ignore how mentally racism has f'ed us up. It's definitely A LOT of black men that marry white girls for status. Not all but just listen to how some _'s talk about white girls. "I got white girl!!". They talk about 'em like they found gold and this is just regular dudes with everyday white girls. So when you look at these athletes and other "successful" brothas with white girls it's definitely about status and acceptance in a lot of cases. And just being honest some of these dudes don't even pick white girls that's fine. They get these library, homely looking chicks.

Now I do think you can be about your people even if your in a interracial relationship. I was watching that Quincy Jones documentary and all his kids are mixed but he didn't hesitate to be real racism and calling it out.

We seen it happen before our own eyes along 214.
From where 214 and 193 meet all the way west to where 214 turns into East Capitol Street...not a grocery store in sight....
The Safeway was closed due to "inefficient loss prevention"
