” Not every black woman is like that but enough are, if it don’t apply let it fly, ladies” by Obsidian Media Network
The phrase used throughout this piece, a certain type of Black American woman, is granular meant to reflect the above statement. Because, if anyone knows this, certain type of Black American woman, it is other black women (American and foreign).
First the, there aren’t “marriageable” black men meme, and 2nd, the interracial dating angle. As for the latter, given the actual numbers, you have to go through mental gymnastics to link these two but facts don’t matter much so the link is made. Also for the latter, one could simply say, everyone date, marry and love who they choose. And that works in a go-girrl sort of way but when it comes black men, well see Nate Parker (more later).
Queen Narrative and the Faustian Bargain
Now to be sure, there are black men who feel some kind of way about Serena. I posit that it is because they swallowed the queen narrative fantasy (I mean it is just too comical to even address) and agreed to a Faustian bargain to forgo their options/choices and swear off all other women. Then as good flying monkeys they criticized other black men along the way. They didn’t know that those women only wanted first right of refusal, wanted a pool of men to wait in the shadows, just in case. Many just bought into some Hotep, Pan-African political philosophy and did it for the community. They haven’t noticed that everything under the auspices of, “for the community”, is usually for Black American women. And basically that comes down to reproductive rights, mating options and having black men along as queen b soldiers or to absorb blame for all the problems.
So to hear this bull shit narrative now is just laughable. They want to pretend all of that history didn’t exist, that the zeitgeist didn’t exist and wasn’t created by a certain type of Black American woman. They want to pretend that all this started with “all these black men on youtube”. But again, this is the narrative shopped to the mainstream. They know damn well all the venom they spewed about black men and interracial dating. And truth be told, the white female allies in the girl power movement can at any moment become, that “white bitch”. Now that they have arrived to the open dating table, on “colored peoples” time, they’ll say or do anything to avoid eating crow. But it is not going to be that easy.
