Heartbreak Hotel? Been there, done that. Wrote the article and refuse to go back. There are so many components that go into making a REAL relationship work, it’s a wonder the entirety of us haven’t lost our ever loving minds in the midst of it all. Well….some of ya’ll have lost yours but I feel pretty confident in saying that I’ve never even come CLOSE to boiling a bunny or slashing a tire. **side eye**
Maybe that’s why I’m still single; I’m not crazy enough. Maybe I’m not invested enough, who knows? A little self-reflection never hurts. Relationships are complicated and dating definitely isn’t all roses and sweet treats after all. I’ll even make a little confession. The world of dating isn’t easy. Dating ME isn’t easy and dating for black women as a whole isn’t as easy as it is for black men. Why? Because we are a complicated species. We don’t know what we want even when we tell you that WE want it. **Exhales** There! I said it and it’s true. Does that mean we’re doing something wrong or expecting too much? Not necessarily. I mean, my name’s not Rozanda ‘Chilli’ Thomas and I don’t have a reality show but in a way, I DO have a list. All women do. Scratch that, all women SHOULD have them. Just call them standards and if you don’t have any, well, I see your kind out ALL the time.
Now, back to this list. He has to be taller than me and cute. Smart, ambitious, God fearing, employable **direct stare** respectful and loves his mama. What else? Hmmm…he needs a car, crib and a J-O-B. 8 to 5, 2 to 10, late night shift, doesn’t matter to me as long as you’re working or actively pursuing it. Even Jesus was a carpenter. Know that. Looking back at all of my experiences, I have to wonder though. Is that asking too much? Am I? Are you? I think not! Why shouldn’t we want those things in a man? If I could show you a man like that right NOW, would you take him? If he had all of the aforementioned characteristics, could you date him? Could you love him? If so, here’s the catch: What if he’s white???
Changes things, huh? Michael Jackson famously sung, “If you thinkin bout bein my baby, it don’t matter if you’re black or white.” What he should’ve added was ‘unless you’re a sistah,’ because for various reasons, a lot of black women turn their noses up at dating outside of their race; white men in particular. I can hear it now. The shock and the horror laced voices. “A white boy! Me?!? Nope, don’t think so.” Those words were repeated again and again as I asked and surveyed numerous friends. “It’s pink!” said one. I’ll let you guys figure out the ‘it’ being referred to here. “They’re corny,” said another. “No swag,” and finally, with all other reasoning depleted, “I just can’t,” said the last. Now if we’re going back to earlier self reflection, honestly, I don’t think I could either. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the crux of the problem.
Black men don’t seem to have these same issues. You see it just like I do. I mean, hell, it’s an epidemic! Black men are dating white women like black women have gone outta style. Let me say that again. Black men are dating white women like black WOMEN are going out of style! Sometimes, when I go out on the town I feel like a jherri curl. We’ll never be in again. And black men aren’t just sticking to white women either. Asians, Hispanics, Indian, it just doesn’t seem to matter. Black men will date, be in a relationship with and if he’s even remotely successful, wife up any and every color of the rainbow. And we’ll stand on the sidelines, noses turned up, our heads shaking but steadfastly sticking to our one: Black. Hell, are light skinned men even back in?!? If not, will they ever be AGAIN? That’s how bad it is. When we limit ourselves in this way, it’s hard to believe we’re not also limiting ourselves in love as well. Maybe it’s time we get off the sidelines and see what else is out there. Let’s try it mentally right now.
Imagine yourself happy, smiling extra hard, spirit lit from the inside out as you stroll. It’s a nice summer day, the birds are chirping and everybody’s out. Folks are staring, some admiringly, others not so much but you don’t mind. Haters don’t punch a time clock anyway, right? Let em hate. You smile up at your man and all is right with the world. Now….make him white cause M.J. said it don’t matter. **sighs** Damn. It still does? Okay, I concur but let’s take baby steps here. This article isn’t about changing anybody’s mind. It’s about opening yourself up to opening your MIND to the possibilities. Just think about it. Love like a Michael Jackson song. It might not be so bad.
