I'm what you might call a Twitterhead. [@luckieleftee btw]
Most times, you'll catch me on my blackberry reading my followers funny, intellectual, and sometimes pointless tweets.
Recently one of my followers posted something that disturbed me. She said that she feels that "black women are the least sought after women amongst any other race." At first, I read it and blew it off, like whatever, that's just her opinion. But then, just to see how much truth that statement actually had I asked one of my male friends [who is black] and he said he agrees. He says that "most black women are crazy and confusing and don't know what they want."
The perception of black women in today's world is fucked. We seem to be at the very bottom of the totem pole. I mean, even if you look at music videos today, the main girl is mostly always light to white...or spanish. Why are we seen to be such "high maintenance" individuals? Why does it seems we are becoming obsolete to the many other races and/or nationalities when it comes to men's choices? Are we really THAT difficult? I hear so many men out here saying that black women are just too much of a headache. What does that say about us women? Part of me wants to say "NO". Us black women have standards, and under no circumstances should we compromise. I mean, we want what we want, and if it takes being difficult at times, then so be it. But on the other hand, I can also say that [it seems] black women go through the most issues...socially, emotionally, and mentally. So we might be a little bit harder than other women. Either take the challenge or get lost. Idk. I guess it's a debate that can go on forever. I'm gonna do some more research on this topic and continue it at another time because I definitely want a clearer explanation on this.
