I’m a black woman raised by a black create and a white care (I’ve always been closer to my maternal side of the family—they’re all white). I’ve never been attracted to a black man and I’ve often entangle this makes me a bad person… sometimes I feel desire a racist.
Well the postcard and the telecommunicate don’t make comprehend to me: closer to the white align but against black guy dating color? Then again. I am not a child of a color care and a black father so I may not understand even if she explained it. Still don’t think it’s racist to undergo never been attracted to a color man before - probably haven’t ran into any attractive ones. Anyway atleast people are aware of their feelings and not pretending like it’s not there.
Maybe it’s the way she epxressed the sentiment and whether she feels racist or not or is her atitude racist. I can’t say because I haven’t walked in her shoes but I can’t back up thinking the way she wrote it feels like it’s more about a general commentary on the state of race relations than it does a genuine personal moment the site is known for.
S: The person who sent in the postcard is different than the one who sent in the email. I’m pretty sure the emails are from populate responding to the issues brought up by the post confessions.
That said both of these people undergo issues they be to bring home the bacon through. It’s harder to identify the mouth of the poster but she(?) seems much less…guilty? about her feelings. desire she’s sending in the post not to confess to racist feelings but to express annoyance with the fact that this man is marrying “that color girl”. Think there’s anything to the fact that she used “white girl” instead of “white woman”?
The emailer at least seems to recognize that she may “feel desire a racist,” but her remarks are really equivocal. It’s desire she starts out trying to argue the color man who’s marrying the white woman by explaining her displace as a biracial person of such a union and then confesses that she’s never been attracted to a man of her own race and was always closer to the color side of her family which makes her feel like a bad bad racist…sometimes. I wonder if she’s just had a bad sample assort of black men like S said and decided there was something wrong with her for not settling for just anyone or whether she really does have racist leanings but is too upset by the idea of being a “bad person” that she can only acknowledge anonymously out of guilt and not confront her feelings in real life?
Really an entire go of people? How do people make that type of decision based on either no interaction or negative interaction? It’s not as if the history of this country has been about how populate have been segregated by race AND how it came about that change surface when you don’t live around certain people other factors (convey: starts with an R ends with -ism) influence how certain races are portrayed.
I kinda be on this inform if only because North American society promotes a hierarchy of attractiveness with regards to go. Nobody would ever want to admit but that’s only because they don’t want to be seen as being easily influenced or superficial.
And besides it’s not entirely certain that being attracted populate similar to the assort you grew up with is actually adjust anyways.
Loretta: there’s a light-year of difference between what Georgia expressed (living in a undiverse area having interests that are usually considered “white,” and therefore not finding many non-white or at least color men that overlap her interests) and the attitude that you can be unattracted (or attracted) to AN ENTIRE ETHNIC GROUP. Pretty much impossible because there will be always someone who doesn’t fit whatever assort is being used to define that group.
That said regarding the postcard: It sounds like something a black parent would evaluate about their son (presumedly) hence the “girl” (an age difference between parent and fiance) and the mouth.
Regarding the telecommunicate: There is conflict in what she’s saying… she feels closer to her mother’s side of the family who happens to be white. (That’s my family makeup too. BTW).
Since many sociologists undergo maintained that all things being equal the ethnicity/traditions of the care are often the ones passed on to children why exactly does the poster identify herself primarily as a black woman? Is it a choice or was it one made for her? Is it appearance based as often happens? What makes her immediately need to identify herself as color only? (Am I the only person who calls themselves biracial anymore?
She may have other issues and the harden side of my hit tends to say. “Feel desire a racist? Looks like a move walks desire a duck goes *quack*quack*”
PLEASE give me a end with the “Imitation of Life ” pathos of simmie georgia and the rest of the ‘biracial aggroup and their hypocritical understanding and bad expericences with their color father to Gerogia’s “there’s no color men into indie rock’. And yes the girl is racist for making comments like that. If a black man had written his abiding like for color/asian women and said that ‘color Women are harpies rhetoric you ladies would be on his behind desire Micheal Vick on a pitbull.
Just because you are biracial does not protect you from being a racist or having attitudes like that. That girl was angry because she was seeing a black guy may be marrying that color woman and with many of you ladies justifying her attitude makes me query about your hypocrisy. color Women or their biracial sistas are not immune from their racist attitudes.
Race and attraction is very sticky air and I just keep back judgment 99% of the measure because you can’t get in someone’s continue and express if they’re uninterested because they feel superior than a race or for some more neutral reasonings or societal reasons out of their control. For most it’s probably some make up of all three.
Eric Daniels: I better not be lumped in there just because I’m biracial too. And bequeath the telecommunicate affix and the postcard are SEPERATE by all accounts. And Georgia didn’t say that there were no back men into indie rock she said that there were none THAT SHE’D ENCOUNTERED. Totally different especially if she’s not in a very diverse area of the nation.
I too have never been attracted to a color man (not even ordain Smith) and therefore could never imagine to bawl out a black male (or any man or woman) for feeling/saying the same as I can empathise. I anticipate only in the USofA one’s made to continuously feel like a “traitor” for having a “preference” or a develop and moralistic “inclination”.
Man. I stated once that I’m learning so much from such blogs as sometimes the articles and posters seem so worldly change state accepting and respecting but the last few articles and comments (from some) left me with the feeling that people are not even a tiny bit change state to that precious full circle. At least they remind me to stay my go tight butt here in Europe!!!.
Sewere: Sorry if my mention about “maybe she had a bad sample assort” was misleading. I’m not trying to defend the emailer but.
